General Discussion

A person's life is complete with all five senses and bones, possessing the virtue of sainthood and harmony. What is attached to them is not trivial. If one fails to be vigilant and indulges in harm, causing the middle way to become overbearing, betraying the bounty of heaven and earth, and ruining the birth of one's parents, what is the greatest misfortune? Therefore, the Inner Classic states: A sage does not treat diseases before they occur. If a disease has already developed before it is treated with medicine, it is like going through a well when thirsty or forging an army when fighting. Isn't this too late? Here are a few simple and easy-to-understand sayings from health preservation experts, recorded to listen to the practice of believers. If the taboos of diet and daily life are condensed into the major points and used as a precaution for the unrestrained, so that people know to be cautious about illness and avoid it, wouldn't it be better than taking medicine and seeking medical treatment? The Inner Classic: The Ancient Treatise on the True Nature of Life states: In ancient times, people followed the laws of Yin and Yang, harmonized with divination and numerology, and adopted the methods of preserving life. By eating and drinking in moderation, living and sleeping at regular times, and not overworking, one can maintain both physical and mental health, and eventually live a long life, reaching the age of a hundred before passing away. People nowadays are different. They take wine as their liquor, take delusion as their constant, get drunk and enter the room, to exhaust their essence and wear down their true nature. They do not know how to be full and are afraid of hearing. They constantly control their spirits, seek pleasure in their hearts, and go against the pursuit of joy. Their daily life is unregulated, and thus they decline at the age of fifty. Under the teachings of the ancient sages, when the false and evil winds are avoided at the right time, when the state is calm and empty, the true energy follows, and the spirit is internally guarded, how could illness come?
