Chapter 385 All Saints Discern the Dao Xinyue
In Lingqing's view, no matter what choice you make, as long as you have a clear conscience, it is good.
Therefore, he bowed his hands to Zhuangzi and said, "Although my disciple has deep selfish intentions, he believes that he has no evil intentions.
Let’s not say whether it’s good or not, but at least it’s not wrong.”
The train theory seems to have only two choices, one is to kill one person and save five people, and the other is to kill five people and save one.
In fact, it is more than that. You can also choose to do nothing or find a way to stop the train.
Or choose to destroy the train when it cannot stop.
He even managed to destroy all six people and the train, etc.
In fact, if this option were clearly presented, I believe many people would simply choose not to do it.
It's none of your business. Since you can't make a choice, just don't choose and let fate decide.
Ling Qing was like this before.
In the Warring States Period, when faced with conflicts, he had the idea of not caring about his own affairs, and kept his head down to develop the Lingguo.
I simply want to make the Spirit Kingdom strong first, and then use its advantages to attract more ideas from hundreds of schools to enrich its own heritage.
I have no intention of ending the war and restoring peace to the world.
However, when he wanted to gather 365 divine edicts as quickly as possible and combine them with the Xuan Altar to witness the immortality.
He will inevitably make a choice and cannot do nothing.
Different choices lead to different results.
He chose to cooperate with Zhou State and Ji Bian to divide the princes of the world, thereby reducing the strength of the warring states.
According to the train theory, it is obvious that the lives of the five people were given up and a single person was chosen.
However, Lingqing did not feel that his choice was wrong.
Those who practice immortality are the most selfish people in the world.
When action can bring him greater benefits than inaction and enable him to achieve spiritual success as quickly as possible.
Naturally, he participated in it without hesitation.
Mortal humans are like dust, reincarnating endlessly between heaven and earth.
If a cultivator wants to escape from this reincarnation, he must go against heaven and disrupt the order of heaven and earth.
Therefore, those who practice immortality are the most selfish people in the world.
Yet he is the most selfless person in the world.
If a practitioner wants to be successful in his practice, he must follow the heaven and the right time in order to achieve success.
There is no good or evil in nature, and the difference between good and evil is naturally only the difference between people's hearts.
The way of heaven is so selfish that it is selfless, and the same goes for spiritual practice.
Practitioners do good and avoid evil in order to follow the principles of heaven and observe the goodness of virtue.
What goes away is the evil caused by the will and the laws of nature.
Although Ling Qingxing had deep selfish motives in this matter, he had no evil intentions, so he said that he was not wrong.
As for whether it is good or evil, it naturally depends on whether it is in accordance with the laws of nature.
"If you don't have any bad feelings for yourself, you are good. If you are not punished by Heaven's heart, you will not do evil."
Zhuangzi nodded and said: "Your fault is not in your own mind or in the mind of Heaven, but in the human heart.
The heart of others!”
He paused and then said: "You use your own mind to understand the heaven's mind and know that good and evil are there.
I use my own mind to understand the heavenly mind, and I know that good and evil are here.
So are good and evil here or there?
This is not a distinction between good and evil, but a distinction between human hearts!
Discernment of the Way!”
Lingqing looked at the others when he heard the words, and saw Shenzi's face was calm, Huizi smiled bitterly, and Mengzi's face twitched slightly, but none of them refuted.
Obviously what Zhuangzi said is correct, but the contradiction still exists and needs to be distinguished.
"Whether it's a few people who came or a few people who didn't come, please listen."
Lingqing stood up suddenly, walked around the room and said.
"The poor Taoist can only glimpse the road for the first time. The road of heaven is still far away, and the great road is even worse.
Although the Great Way and the Heavenly Mind cannot fully understand it, everything I think and do is my way.
What we are doing now is just to lay the foundation for ourselves.
Just like what Shenzi said, Pindao is the king today, since he has decided on this path.
Then please come and take a walk!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he activated the authority of Lord Lingguo and moved everyone into Lingming Hall.
He was sitting upright on the bed of clouds, while five people including Zhuangzi, Huizi, Mencius, Shenzi and Xu Xing were arranged on the left and right.
Even if he had the authority of the Spiritual Kingdom Lord and was able to move a few people, it was because they had no intention of resisting.
At the same time, the Lingming Law Domain above Lingguo showed a strong fluctuation, spreading his thoughts in all directions.
After feeling this thought, one after another figures flashed into Lingming Hall.
There are Taoists Yin Wenzi and Zhan Zi; Yin Yang family Gong Yusheng; Mohist three sects Juzi; political strategists Gongsun Yan and Su Qin; military strategists Sun Bin and Wei Liao, etc.
Not only that, within the borders of Lingguo.
Zhang Yang, who is studying the machine beast, Chang Miaoyu, who is silently practicing swordsmanship, is still accumulating merit and inspiration, Wenjun, Yan Yu, who is studying the merit talisman, thinking about how to show off his Tian Wen... and so on.
They all raised their heads, put down their affairs, and turned towards Lingming Academy.
In the Lingming Hall, seeing more and more saints and sages gathering together, Lingqing threw the galaxy diagram away, and a galaxy appeared in the hall.
Then he looked at the disciples and said, "Let's use this to demonstrate.
Should we walk on this path? If we do, we should walk on it; if we don’t walk on it, then we should walk on it!”
What this galaxy shows is not the sun, moon and stars.
Instead, headed by the Lingming God, and assisted by the Qing Shen, the Martial God, the Ji God, the Rite God, and the Social God, a total of 365 spiritual gods were manifested by the stars.
This is the source of this controversy.
"Since ancient times, our ancestors have been born between heaven and earth in order to survive and follow the laws of heaven and earth, thereby gaining the power of heaven and earth."
Yin Wenzi looked at the many star gods and spoke first.
"The great road is invisible, the heaven and the earth are nameless, and the name of the true form is: Wu.
A shaman is a person who works invisibly, and is divine in heaven and holy on earth.
Therefore it is also called sacred.
Three emperors ruled the world, and five emperors established their relationships, and China began to exist.
However, since Emperor Zhuanxu attained the power of Juedi Tiantong, there have been few saints in the world.
The only thing left behind is the common master of the world and the princes, who can inherit the divine power and govern the world.
Because of the separation between heaven and earth, we have lost the power of heaven and earth, so we can only borrow the power of the sages between heaven and earth through prayers from the human heart."
"It is precisely because the human heart has become sacred that we should despise the king's heart and value the public opinion. How can we establish this false god and hang it above all the people?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mencius couldn't help but say.
"Previously, the princes and kings still had their hearts and minds restrained by prayers. If they could practice the way of a benevolent king, they would be able to unite the people's hearts.
If he brutalizes his people, he will commit regicide and the country will be destroyed.
Now the false god Linggong has freed the princes from the shackles of the people's hearts.
With this false sanctity to the king and the people, won't all the people in the future be like pigs and dogs, left to be slaughtered?
If we don’t destroy it now, how long will it take to rectify its origins?”
"Mencius also said that the human heart has become sacred. How can this sacred thing be able to slaughter all peoples?"
Shenzi said something harsh because he was angry with Mencius, so he caught the loophole and immediately retorted.
"The Holy One is the power of heaven and earth. It combines with the Great Dao and is the law of heaven and earth.
Your Excellency and all the people only need to act according to the law. Naturally, those who can do good will get the good, and those who can do evil will get the evil.
Isn’t this exactly where etiquette is, what the law is, what benevolence is, and what righteousness is?
Mencius talked about etiquette, law, benevolence and righteousness in vain, but now he sees it but does not understand it. It can be said that he turns a blind eye and is absent-minded."
The Book of Rites says: being absent-minded means turning a blind eye but not seeing, hearing but not smelling, and eating food without knowing its taste.
It refers to not only having an incorrect mind and being biased, but also referring to correcting the mind so that there is no difference in mind.
When Shenzi spoke out at this time, he accused Mencius of duplicity, being inconsistent with what he meant, and only talking but doing nothing.
"Shenzi's statement is totally wrong..."
