Lushanxingfalu

I became a disciple of Zhengyilu Mountain when I was sixteen years old. I started practicing as an ignorant boy holding incense for more than forty years. When you first enter Taoism, you should first learn basic liberal arts such as opening altars, inviting gods, enlightening teachers, and performing rituals. Memorize the rules of scriptures, manuals, steps, and incense rituals. You can copy secret talismans and recite incantations day and night. You can follow the master to set up altars, create barriers, and communicate with gods, laying the foundation step by step. When he got a little older, he learned to pass on the official rituals, receive the Dharma title, receive the Dharma seal, hold the talisman, move the soldiers and horses in Lushan, formally set up the altar and practice the Dharma, and from then on took Taoism as his career. After middle age, I studied both civil and military subjects: liberal arts majored in praying for blessings, celebrating birthdays, giving thanks, consecrating blessings, resolving grievances and resolving knots, so as to calm the spirits and homes of the neighbors, eliminate disasters, provide good luck, and heal and protect. The martial arts practice involves recruiting troops, exorcising evil spirits, destroying evil spirits, passing through obstacles, etc., And using strong and powerful methods to suppress evil spirits, remove evil spirits, and protect a party. For more than forty years, I have walked through mountains and villages, streets and alleys in cities and towns, and barren mountains and ridges. They have performed fastings to celebrate the dead, offered alms to the dead, organized yang events to celebrate auspiciousness, and consecrated houses; encountered evil spirits disturbing the house and ghosts causing trouble, and used talismans, tokens, and magic swords to resolve them one by one; in times of plague and disaster, altars were set up to ward off disasters, incense was burned, and prayers were made to keep the place safe. From a young man holding incense to a white-haired man holding the altar, I have upheld Lushan's Dharma lineage, practiced righteousness, and never deceived my heart or violated the law. Respect the heaven and earth with scientific rituals, and calm people's hearts with charms. I have been practicing the Dharma for half my life, and I have seen all the cold and warmth of Yin and Yang, and the joys and sorrows of the world. I only stick to my original intention: to enter the Tao and seek the truth, to practice the Tao to help the world, to spread the Dharma endlessly, and to protect all living beings.
