Cultivation with the Testing of Life & Death, upon hearing that, alot of people will immediately be shocked or got frightened.

If you are one of such a group, then I can said that you have yet to achieve the level of Seeing Nothing or have yet to understand the Basic Teaching of the Tao.

Need not worry, cos to be able to fully got the feel of the Upright Culture of Tao, one self will need to go thru Testings, Training, Failing and then last, succeed.

Till today, most of the Taoist Priests, Taoist Masters or Highly Cultivated Taoists are still on the stage of going thru such Life & Death Testing.

And so, what is Life & Death Testing?

Many people might take this Life & Death as normal Birth-ing or normal dying (as in leaving this World), but to be more Accurate, it means more than just Normal Birth or Death.

In Taoism, we do not have a Start, neither there is any Ending and so, Life that being created into this World is just an Short Term staying and Death is just a Temperory Departure, when the Time & Chance is right again, one self (with the correct Combination of 3 Spirits & 7 Souls) will come back to this Mortal World again.

Okay, back to topic, the Life & Death Testing.

Life Testing, includes Events or Actions that bring one self to very High Emotion or Reactions such as Happiness, Sadness, Anger or Joyous. By going thru such Emotions & Actions, one self will discover that, by the end, actually certian Things are not Permanent or can Last Long, by knowing the True Fact of why such Emotions or Reactions remain so Shortly, one self will be able to learn the Lesson of No-Thing-ness or Null.

Same goes to Death.

Death in here is not Dying neither the Temporary Departure, but the Events or Actions that one self experiences when one self is being left alone, Things or Beings that are around one self left one self or one self encountered the Seriousness of Sickness or seeing the Pain & Sufferings that happened around one self.

Death may be scary, but if one self is able to overcome the scariness of Death (All mentioned Above), one self will be able to merge in the Big Tao (or Universe) in-order to think of a way to solve such Miserables and then, last, achieve in doing Salvation of the Sufferings - the Ultimate Objective of being an Official Taoist or a Cultivated Taoist.

Many people whom they claimed that they are Official or Cultivated Taoist, actually has neglected this point - making Vows to do Salvation for the others.

Nowadays, most of the Taoists that are being accepted by the Official Tao only spend more time on doing Cultivation for one self and then forget about the others who suffered from All sort of Sufferings - defeat the purpose of entering into the Upright Gate of Taoism.

Upon receiving the Authority from the Heaven or the Heavenly Masters, beside doing Self Cultivation, one self shall do more observations and travelling-around in the Mortal World to check on how the Beings suffered and then, by applying the Right Methods to do the Salvation.

So for those who are an Official & Cultivated Taoist now, do ponder on the way that one self perform the Cultivation, have you meet the Objective of being a Tao Student?

  2. Yes, you are right, with the limitation of one self, one self is not able to do Big Salvation, but with All Interested & Willingly Parties, such Salvation can be done within moments.

    Dont worry, you will be trained to be one who can do salvation in no time.
