"You said it so easily!" Li Xinzhu on the other end of the phone smiled bitterly and shook his head. If he could do this, he wouldn't be distressed.
"I went to see the abbot Zen Master of Songlin Temple, and he told me two methods. One is to face the inner demons directly and kill them.
Secondly, I learned Buddhism to control my inner demons. Before I left, I was given a copy of the Prajna Heart Sutra. I have recited it a hundred times, but it has no effect!
I still dreamed about that evil ghost last night, and it was even more terrifying. I even saw it moving and grinning at me!"
"When you recite sutras, you need to be calm and don't get flustered. It's too fanciful for you to expect it to work after you have recited it for a whole day. I have another way." Wang And said.
"What can I do?!" Li Xinzhu, who was lying on the bed on the other end of the phone, suddenly jumped up.
"Did you know that there is a method of practice called visualization?"
"Contemplation method? I, I seem to have heard of it." After hearing this, Li Xinzhu frowned and searched hard for these three words in his mind.
"White Lotus View, Inner View, Great Sun View, etc. are a way to exercise the mind, get rid of distracting thoughts, and strengthen the self-spirit."
"If there are demons in your dream, then visualize other things that can subdue the demons, such as the sun, gods and Buddhas, etc., and introduce them into the dream to subdue the demons."
"Well, you have a good idea. Have you practiced it before? How should you practice it?"
"I haven't practiced before." Wang An said bluntly.
"Then how should I practice?" Li Xinzhu on the other end of the phone was dumbfounded.
"Although I haven't practiced it, I can generally guess the method."
"Guess, can this thing be guessed?"
"To put it bluntly, it is also a psychological suggestion. It affects the mind through strong external stimulation, but it only needs to have a positive impact.
One positive and one negative cancel each other out.”
"Is it okay to say one thing after another? Don't let this inner demon get rid of and cause new ones?"
"Well, in theory there is no problem." Wang An pondered for a moment and said.
"Theory?" Li Xinzhu on the other end of the phone scratched his head vigorously.
"Then what kind of visualization method do you think I should practice?"
"Then it's up to you. To practice contemplation, the first thing is to be authentic. Don't practice it wrongly." Wang An said.
In fact, these days, he has considered the issue of inner demons more than once, and has also looked up relevant information. Unintentionally, he saw the idea of contemplation and was inspired.
He felt that this method should be feasible.
Li Xinzhu saw the painting and was strongly stimulated, stimulating a sense of panic hidden deep in his heart. When a person is afraid of something, he can't help but think about it.
This is almost a subconscious thought that few people can control.
Fear is like a snowball, constantly rolling and growing, eventually overwhelming a person's will mentally and destroying his physical health.
There should be no wrong way to do it, but this method of contemplation is not easy to find, and I’m afraid it’s not that easy to get started.
"Don't worry too much. This is not a terminal illness. There are always more solutions than difficulties." Wang An comforted her.
"Hey, that's easy to say, I'll do my best." Li Xinzhu sighed on the other end of the phone.
After some phone calls, I finally found out about new methods, so the call was not in vain.
At night, before going to bed, Wang An thought of the chat group of Tai Chi enthusiasts.
"Maybe they will have some good ideas." With the attitude of giving it a try, he posted a sentence here.
"Excuse me, does anyone know how to practice meditation?"
After sending the message, it didn't take long for the message to be restored.
Gale blew: "Someone actually asked this question, isn't contemplation a way to practice spirituality?"
Duan ShuiLiu: "To train as a god, you have to make your physical body strong enough first, right? Strength is the king, and you can conquer ten levels with one force."
Tai Chi Yan: "@ Duan Shui Shui, what you said doesn't sound like someone who practices Tai Chi, but rather like what someone who practices horizontally would say."
"Taoism has the theory of duality of life and soul, the theory of cultivation, cultivating both spirit and form, and comprehensive training of mind and body. I think this statement is still very reasonable."
Da Feng Chui: "You are indeed not an ordinary person. We are still discussing practicing Tai Chi. Are you considering becoming an immortal?"
"Xiu Xian, that's the storyline in novels and movies. I would like to ask if you have any antiquities or scrolls for practicing meditation? For example, the interior of Huangting."
There was a brief silence in the chat group.
Tai Chi Yan, "I heard that there is a Tai Chi picture on Mount Taihe. It is said that it was painted by Zhang Zhenren himself."
Da Feng Chui: "I'll go, is it true or not?"
Duanshui Shui: "What you hear from hearsay may not be credible. Even if you have it, it is still a treasure, just like the ancient version of the Book of Changes from Shaolin Temple. No one will show it to you."
"If you know any information about this, please let me know. I would be very grateful."
"You're welcome. I'll tell you when I find out."
Tai Chi Yan: "Zhaozi, how far has your Tai Chi practice reached?"
"It's barely considered an invasion," Wang And said.
The strong wind blows, "Good guy, if you can talk about entering the palace, you are usually a proficient person!"
Duanshui Shui, "How much have you understood of the Thirteen Movements of Tai Chi?"
"I know a little bit about how to release force." Wang An said.
There was a brief silence in the chat group, and then there were thumbs up one by one.
"ox!"
Taijiyan: "When can we meet and communicate? You are in Hu'an City. After the Spring Festival, I happen to be in Hu'an City on business. Can we meet then?"
"OK."
Wang An made an appointment with Tai Chi Yan in this chat group to meet during the Spring Festival.
That night, in his sleep, Wang An did not dream of the ghost figure, and he slept until dawn.
Seeing that the New Year is approaching, Wang An's time to go out to practice is shorter than in the past few days.
Clean the house and tidy up the inside and outside of the house thoroughly.
Before you know it, the Spring Festival is here.
On this day, although the weather was very cold, the weather was very bright.
Wang An got up early and started a busy day. Posting Spring Festival couplets and helping the elderly prepare the New Year's Eve dinner.
At night, the family got together for a reunion dinner. Wang An also drank two glasses of wine with the old man.
"Xiao An, it's twenty-seven during the Chinese New Year, and it's time to get a wife." The old man said earnestly.
"Yeah, yes, the food made by grandma is really delicious."
"This kid!"
After dinner, we watched the Spring Festival Gala with the two old people and welcomed the New Year amidst the sound of firecrackers.
"New year, new start."
Wang An got up very early. Even on the first day of the new year, he could not fall behind in Kung Fu. The new year started with practicing Wu Qin Xi. After practicing Wu Qin Xi, he started Tai Chi.
Just after I finished practicing, someone came to visit me to wish me a happy new year. It was my neighbor next door.
According to the New Year rules around here, on the first day of the new year, we go out to pay New Year greetings.
Wang An's grandmother and grandfather are considered elders in the village, and people come over one after another to pay New Year's greetings.
