Since the beginning of the world, I don't know when there were living beings.
Since then, the world has been full of vitality and flowers. Plants, forests, flowers, birds, insects, fish, birds and animals are all like towering trees, absorbing the energy of heaven and earth to practice, hoping to be higher than the gods in order to achieve immortality, or like water flowing in the east, never to return, leaving no trace in the world.
The heaven and earth transform themselves into spirits and beasts. Spirits and beasts, spirits are humans and monsters. Human spirits are immortals and demons. Those whose spirits are destroyed are ghosts and souls. Those spirits who have attained the Tao are called gods.
What is spirit? The spirit is the heart.
However, the way of heaven is impermanent, and so is the human mind. During practice, one may gain the Tao and become an immortal, some may lose the Tao and become a demon, or some may act recklessly and become a monster.
Immortals and demons, humans and beasts, monsters and spirits all have three souls and seven souls. When you die, drink the water of the River of Forgetfulness, forget your past life, and enter the path of reincarnation.
However, not all living beings will achieve perfect cultivation, so when they die, they will always have unfulfilled wishes, wandering in the three realms, never reborn, never reincarnated, and are hated by the world.
Therefore, immortals, demons, humans, beasts, and demons, whether they have accumulated good deeds and cultivated their moral character, or they have accumulated evil for themselves, are all afraid of falling into the underworld and becoming wandering souls.
What is Tao? The Taoist follows his heart. Immortal way, demonic way, demon way, human way, beast way, ghost way, spiritual way. Everyone holds their own opinions and cannot agree on one thing.
Therefore, there were endless disputes and endless wars. Birds die for food, and humans die for profit.
Life follows death, death follows life.
Sadness and joy, separation and union, gain and loss, birth and death, are like the sun, moon and stars, reincarnation every day for thousands of years, without exception.
A tree cannot last more than a thousand years, and a man cannot last more than a hundred years. What do you want?
God! Immortal.
Everyone calls, what is God?
