People are born to live and enter to die. Three-tenths of the people live a long life, three-tenths of the people live a short life, and three-tenths of the people could live forever but end up dead. Because I am too obsessed with life.
Human life is very limited and is in a dangerous state, so people are required to "take deep root in their roots" and pursue "the way to longevity." Taoism attaches great importance to human life, because Taoism talks about immortality and becoming immortal through cultivating Taoism. Regarding life, Laozi said: "From birth to death, three out of ten people will be born, and three out of ten will die. When a person is born, three out of ten people will die."
People who are good at maintaining health will not encounter rhinos and tigers when walking on land, and will not be killed when entering the battlefield. Therefore, rhinoceroses cannot use their horns, tigers cannot use their claws, and weapons cannot use their sharp edges. Because he won't die.
Everything in the world is endless, life is limited, and it is always in danger. Therefore, we should cherish life, be reborn, enjoy life, live well, respect life, cherish life, and improve the quality and value of life. Live a life as carefree and immortal as that of a god. Therefore, it is necessary to have deep roots and solid foundation, to unite the birth and Tao, to live forever, and to attain the Tao and become an immortal.
Gods can be learned. They are all real people who have achieved enlightenment. They are the role models and goals of life. Life must be achieved through self-cultivation to achieve longevity.
Extended information:
Taoism believes that through practice, people can continue their material life, sublimate their spiritual life, and eventually become immortals and achieve Taoism. For this reason, in the pursuit of immortality beliefs, Gaozhen in the past dynasties actively explored ways of life cultivation and summarized rich cultivation theories and methods.
Taoism is driven by the spirit of "My destiny is mine and I do not belong to heaven and earth", and it is determined to "save oneself and save others", which reflects the Taoist attitude towards life that cherishes life and enjoys life and has the world in mind.
To cultivate Taoism and achieve immortality requires people to live with a positive and detached attitude towards life. Human life is born from the graceful spirit of the heaven and earth of Tao. It is hard to obtain and should be cherished.
