The weather is turbulent, and my sun is prosperous. Which book is it from?

From "The Book of Saving People", the full name is "Tai Shang Cave Xuan Ling Bao Immeasurable Man's High Grade Miao Jing". It is a Taoist theological work with an unknown author and was produced in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Original text:

Humanity is vague, immortality is vast, and ghosts are happy! When one enters the human life, life is precious in the immortal way, and death is precious in the ghost way. The immortal way always brings good luck, and the ghost way always brings misfortune. It is high and pure, spiritual and beautiful, and the tragic songs are loud in the sky. I only hope that the way of heaven will be fulfilled, and I don't want the world of humanity to be poor. There are thousands of ghosts in Quanqu Mansion, the northern capital. But if you want to suppress people's calculations and cut off people's life gates, Ah Ren sings the cave chapter to capture Bei Luofeng, chants the demon spirits in bunches, and kills the six ghost fronts. The weather is turbulent, and my Tao is prosperous.

What fun it is to be greedy and lustful for a moment! When you are a "human", you have to walk through the door to survive safely. When you cultivate the path of immortality, you value your life so that you can do better things for others. When you enter the "path of ghosts", you need to consider how to "end up".

Those who have cultivated the Immortal Way are naturally auspicious, and those who have entered the Ghost Way are often naturally evil. Therefore, those with high moral standards are naturally quiet and inactive and have a beautiful soul! Don't let "tragedy sing into the sky": I hope that people in the world will "only follow the Tao" and achieve everything; I don't want people to be full of desires and destroy the ecological balance of heaven, earth and all things, and plunge human existence into a state of poverty and embarrassment!

There are thousands of ghost groups in Quanmiao Mansion, the northern capital. However, this is the place where people want to stop and curb people's greedy calculations, and it is also the "gate of life" that is the key to "cutting off people's desires". The cave music of the "evil man"'s cry of ghosts and howls of wolves has shocked Beiluofeng. This is where all singing and singing of "demons and spirits" movements are restricted.

Because the "eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind" are illusions caused by greed, they are called "six ghosts"; they have been cut off by the sharp sword that kills demons. . The cultivation of internal strength and health-preserving methods has reached the artistic state of "clear mind and seeing nature", and the energy of the heavens is vast and boundless. It is a clear explanation that my "invisible Dharma body" is prospering day by day!

Extended information

"The Book of Saviors" was listed as the opening book of the "Orthodox Taoist Canon" of the Ming Dynasty. Known as the head of the group of scriptures, the sect of all dharma, and the source of all dharma realms, it is the core classic of the Zhengyi Sanshan Fulu Lingbao sect of Taoism.

*** There are sixty-one volumes, the first of which is the text of the "Saving People Sutra", one of the modern Lingbao Sutras. The main theme of the whole text is to promote fasting and chanting sutras, which have great merits. They can eliminate natural disasters, protect the emperor, and save people from poison. Men and women are protected and can live forever.

Affected by the prevalence of Taoist metaphysics, "The Book of Saviors" is quite popular among Taoist scholars, starting from Qi Yandong in the Southern Dynasty, to Xue Youqi, Li Shaowei, Cheng Xuanying, Zhang Wanfu of the Tang Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty Chen Jingyuan, Chen Chunrong, and Xiao Yingsou, Xue Jizhao, Chen Guanwu, and Chen Zhixu of the Yuan Dynasty, and Zhang Yuchu of the Ming Dynasty all provided interpretations and annotations for "The Book of Saviors."

Influenced by the Song Dynasty’s idea of ??advocating Lao Taoism, Song Zhenzong and Song Huizong even wrote prefaces to "The Book of Saviors". Among them, the Tang and Song Dynasties, when Taoist thought was prevalent, had the most commentaries and the most sophisticated theories.

The philosophical thought contained in "The Book of Saviors" itself is mainly the theory of cosmogenesis. The author and the other three annotators, Yan Dong, Xue Youqi, and Li Shaowei, were greatly influenced by the philosophy of the Han Dynasty. They are basically Qi monists and believe that Qi generates everything. This Qi means the original substance and the cause of all things, and has no ontological meaning.

"The Book of Saving People" also preaches that "the immortal way is precious for life, and it can save people immeasurably." The purpose of "Guidu, the ghost path is connected".

The "Book of Saviors" consists of volumes two to sixty-one, each with its own heading. The content is explained based on the first volume and can be divided into three main categories.

The first category explains the generation of the universe, the reproduction of characters, and the way to benefit from virtue and merit based on the theories of yin and yang, the three talents, and the five elements. Such as "Yu Ming Yundu Product", "Yin Yang Separation and Five Elements Transformation Product", etc.

The second category includes prescriptions for dispelling disasters, warding off evil spirits, controlling ghosts, and destroying demons, so as to pray for relief and salvation. Such as "Praying for Floods and Droughts", "Destroying Five Elements Evil Monsters", etc.

The third category talks about ways to preserve the body, nourish the spirit, and achieve true growth. Such as "Eternal Life and Vision", "Resurrection and Resurrection of Death", etc. The stylistic structure of each volume is the same as that of the first volume, but with Zhenwen treasure talismans in between.
