If you yearn for Taoist classics but are troubled by the obscure classical Chinese, these three extraordinary books that explain profound principles through stories will surely enlighten you. *Laojun's Journey to the West: The Transmission of the Lamp* is a key to understanding Taoist classics. Using the legend of Laojun's journey to the west as its main thread, it blends the profundity of the *Tao Te Ching*, the philosophy of the *Taiping Jing*, and the subtlety of the *Baopuzi* into vivid stories, making the dry classics lively and easy to understand, effortlessly opening the door to Taoist wisdom. *Wen Shi's Record of Proving the Tao* takes a different approach, teaching the methods of stargazing through engaging stories. No need for rote memorization of theories; simply follow the plot to master the secrets of stargazing and experience the mysteries of the universe. "The Cultivation Record of Prince Xuan Yuan" is even more captivating. Following the cultivation journey of the True Martial Emperor, it vividly recounts the cultivation methods of the Hidden Immortal Sect.

    🔆🔆🔆 This is the best spiritual book I've ever read, bar none. The author, Xiyu, presents profound and far-reaching insights that resonate deep within, allowing readers to understand the meaning. The author's writing is beautiful and concise. 👉👉👉 The following is an excerpt from the original text. If it touches you, I recommend you read it carefully and repeatedly, reflecting upon it after finishing. It contains profound meaning; take what you need! 🍀 Feeling pain and understanding its causes is easy, but seeing its true essence and healing it requires a great deal of inner work and wisdom accumulation. What we call suffering is not a trap in life, but a lesson you are here to learn—your own shortcomings. 🍀🍀 In general, if a person can achieve introspection, self-reflection, introspection, a righteous mind, and strength through non-desire, then there is absolutely no need to seek, search, or pray externally. Who can protect you more sincerely than your own Higher Self or your spirit guide? 🍀🍀🍀 The two hardest hurdles in life: worldly judgment and inner fear. The former prevents you from overcoming the torment of your soul, while the latter traps you in habitual tendencies, repeatedly experiencing the pull of karma. 🍀🍀🍀🍀 Thus, the three elements of karma are complete: discontent, resentment, and "what ifs." These three motivations become the driving force behind karma. Karma is the weakness of the soul, the homework of personal growth. 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀 How do you allocate your time each day? How much do you spend on mindless entertainment on your phone and computer? How much do you spend exploring and refining your inner awareness and mental level? How much do you spend indulging in material enjoyment and pursuing it? How much do you spend focusing on and reflecting on the enlightenment of life? When you reflect and summarize your experiences, what are you focusing on? Is it changing and punishing others, or perfecting and expanding yourself? Do you crave how to acquire more benefits, or how to contribute to nourish the world? Are you more focused on the latest mobile phone updates or the ancient and modern books of wise men? Are you more interested in doomsday prophecies or the hope of ascension? 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀 The main responsibility is to confront and modify your preconceived notions and perceptions, let go of arrogance and pride, calm down, and begin to correct the biases in your understanding, trying to make amends for the karmic actions of body, speech, and mind created in your early years. Only by correcting the remnants of the past can you effectively achieve true self-understanding: forgive those who "hurt" you, knowing that you didn't understand them at the time; reset those you "hurt," knowing there are better ways to achieve it. 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀 After repeating this several times, until the resentment and injustice in your heart are replaced by love and gratitude, life becomes completely transparent and warm. You sincerely say to your spirit guide, "Oh! This is wonderful! I have benefited so much, it's a perfect life experience!" Then, contentedly, you withdraw your focus of consciousness and awaken in the circle. 🍎 In the final chapter, the author, Xiyu, offers her blessings: "Then, contentedly, the heart retracts its focus of consciousness and awakens within the ring." My recommendation and expression are but a drop in the ocean; I hope you gain even more from the book… ㊗️ Blessings to all…
