A life-and-death test from Wei Boyang

Wei Boyang, a native of Wu. Born in a noble family, and very good, refusing to become an official, idle and nurturing, people around him do not know what he is doing.

One day, he took three of his disciples into the mountains to make a divine dan, And Dancheng tested the heart of the disciple, so he said, "Although this Dan has now been successful, it is necessary to test." Give the dog to eat first, if the dog can fly, it can be served, if the dog dies, it cannot be served. "Boyang entered the mountain and followed a white dog. He had poison dan on his body, and if he took poison dan and a white dog, he would die if he ate it. Bo Yang Nai asked his disciple, "If you don't succeed in Doing Dan, Dan is done, and if the dog food dies, I am afraid that it is not in line with the will of the gods, if you take it, I am afraid that I will die, what should I do?" The disciple said, "Sir, do you obey?" Bo Yang said: "I have turned my back on the country and entered the mountains, I must not be immortal, I will not go back, no matter whether I live or die, I should obey." "Boyang is to serve Dan, and the entrance is death."

One of the disciples said, "What should I do if I pray for eternal life and serve him to die?" A unique disciple said, "My master is not an ordinary person, and he died in obedience to Dan, is there no deep meaning?" He also obeyed Dan and died immediately. The other two disciples said, "Therefore, those who are dans, seek eternal life, and die in this service, will they continue?" If you don't accept it, you can live a few more years. The two of them were not convinced, and went out of the mountain to buy coffins for the teacher. After the two of them left, Boyang got up, gave Dan to the dead disciple and the white dog, and immediately resurrected. The disciple's surname was Yu Dexian. Because he met the mountain to cut wood, he wrote a book and the township, and thanked the second disciple. The disciple was filled with resentment.

Bo Yang made a reference to the covenant, the main purpose is to discuss Dan, confucians do not know the things of the gods, but with the meaning of yin and yang, the meaning is very different.

It can be seen that what Wei Boyang tested his disciples was that he was wise, wise, and had the consciousness of life and death, if not, fate would easily be missed, and if he wanted to meet again, I am afraid it would be very difficult. Even if it is another test, and another method of testing, if you do not have wisdom, you will still fail.

Several people in the world are willing to aspire to cultivate XuanXuan and self-evident;

In this life, we do not live in this life, but in this life.
