    John said: "During my journey eastward, I kept the faith in my heart, and I was an example of light walking in the world. ¡è: ¡è I also accepted my disciples. They were able to accept my message from the bottom of their hearts.  Guidance, and after receiving guidance, spread my teachings to the world. "This is John's idea?  It doesn't sound like anything special.  Master Zixuan listened and said nothing. Zhang Sun asked doubtfully: "What is a disciple? Are they your disciples? Your disciples help you teach the Dharma. Isn't that what you should do?" John said: "That's right." Zhang Sun  Asked: "What kind of people are they? Do they have outstanding talents?" John said: "No. They are all very ordinary people. Some of them are farmers, some are fishermen, some are executioners. Some are horsemen. They are just that.  The most ordinary person in the world." Shi Zixuan asked, "John, what guidance did you give them? How can they spread your teachings to the world?"  To the farmers, I gave them buckets of food. To the executioners, I let them see the cries of the dead. To the horsemen, I let many bullies run into their horse pens.  A strong horse" Shi Zixuan said: "This is all about giving favors. Using real benefits to win people's trust." John said: "You are right. But only by doing this will they trust me.  So accept my guidance.¡± What John said is very interesting and very realistic.  Speaking of which, preachers throughout the ages have basically used this method.  And most people believe in Buddhism and Taoism mostly because of this.  For example.  Some people believe in Buddhism because there is a sick person in their family. The doctor looked at it but was not optimistic about it, so they placed their trust in the immortal Buddha.  Find spiritual sustenance.  Does this kind of belief count as accepting the guidance of immortals and Buddhas?  It doesn¡¯t really count, at most it just has credibility.  And this belief cannot be firm.  Because such a person will not be familiar with the classics left by the Buddhist and Taoist families, and will not be able to understand the enlightening and wonderful words in them.  Most of them are seeking practical benefits.     for example.  I worship you and ask you to give me foreign wealth.  I pray to you, grant me a happy marriage.  I worship you, bless me with safety, bless me with titles on the gold list, etc. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? If it is spiritual, you will believe it; if it is not spiritual, you will not believe it.  The so-called people in the world who claim to believe in Buddhism and Taoism are mostly like this.  John said that his disciples were ordinary people.  And John gave them real benefits, visible and tangible.  Let them have no doubt about him.  in this way.  John's subtle teaching to them, what he called guidance from the heart, was okay.  Because there is a premise of credibility.  What will be the result of doing this?  Disciples of John.  Will accept John's teachings and be very convinced by him.  But this conviction is not firm because people are suspicious.  There will always be confusion and instability.  And even John's disciples.  All follow his guidance.  But it will be even more difficult for his disciples to guide others.     why?  Because the purpose of John¡¯s sermon is for everyone to be guided by their hearts.  Go to the kingdom of gods and enjoy eternal happiness.  In the words of practitioners, it means transcending the wheel of life and leaving this evil world of five turbidities.  The worst thing is that you have to go to a world where other great achievers and great wishes are transmitted to benefit your practice.  And what about the people in the world?  ??It has been said a long time ago that it is nothing more than profit.  But this benefit is intangible and cannot be seen by the world.  Of course I can't believe it.  John can turn intangible benefits into tangible benefits, allowing his disciples to follow him and believe in him.  But his disciples did not have this level of cultivation, nor did they have this magical power, so if they were asked to preach and guide others, what would they do?  Shi Zixuan said to John with a faint smile: "John, you ask your disciples to preach. I have already deduced the future situation. Do you want to hear it?" John asked doubtfully: "Deduction? What does that mean?  "Master Zi Xuandao: "Use what you see now to predict what will happen in the future. This is the way to deduce." John was shocked and said: "This is a great prophecy, my brother, are you a prophet?"  Although Shi Zixuan didn't know what a prophet was, he could probably guess what it meant.  "No, I am not a prophet. I am not a prophet, I am just deducing." Shi Zixuan explained briefly.  John nodded and said: "Although they are not the same, they are not far apart. My brother, I didn't expect you to be able to predict. So please predict for me. Let's see what my disciples will do in the futureWhat kind of thing is coming.  ¡± Master Zi Xuandao said: ¡°It is fate to meet each other, and it is fate to sit down and discuss the Tao.  John, can you tell us about your disciples?  I want to hear your story and theirs.  " John nodded and said, "Okay.  Now, I have nine disciples.  My first disciple, his name was Peter, and he was a fisherman.  One day, I was passing by the river and saw him crying by the river.  I stepped forward and asked him why he was crying. He told me that there were fewer and fewer fish in the river day by day, and he could hardly survive.  I took pity on him and brought him a river full of fish.  My second disciple, his name is" John told him his experience of acquaintance with the nine disciples. He also told John's hometown in detail, the local customs and customs. "Of course, John  It is said in two ways. For Master Zixuan, it is natural to convey words without words. A thousand words can be understood with one thought. John has this level of cultivation, and he also knows that Master Zhang and Sun have this level.  After all, John said to his master Zixuan: "My brother, do you have anything to say to me?  "Master Zixuan said: "John.  The results of my deduction were not very good.  Do you want to hear it?  " John nodded and said, "Please tell me.  Whatever the outcome is, I want to hear it.  " Master Zixuan said: "The first result of my deduction is that the guidance you preach will be carried forward by your disciples.  Your disciples will establish a sect in your name and be believed by most people.  " John said happily at first: "Really?  Thank you, my brother.  This is the best thing I have heard in recent days.  "Master Zixuan said: "I haven't finished speaking yet.  Are you sure you want to hear more?  " John nodded and said, "Of course.  My brother, tell me everything.  "Shi Zixuan said: "Your disciples follow you and preach your guidance.  But there are more confusions in their hearts than anyone else.  " John nodded and said: "Those who have not found the bright road are all lost lambs.  They have learned my guidance, but they must also follow my words.  Follow my way, otherwise, you will only become more confused.  "Shi Zixuan said: "I can see your hometown from your eyes.  There, the gods quarreled on earth.  Many, many.  And the god you admire also has different believers, and different sects have been established for him.  And each other is full of dirty sins.  " John said sadly: "Yes.  In the name of God, they do things that betray God.  On the day they die, the evil fire of purgatory will burn their filthy souls.  Almost eternity.  "Master Zixuan said again: "I saw it.  There will come a time when one of your disciples will betray you.  You will be scorned by the world and looked upon by the fearful and despairing eyes of the disciples.  Hanged on a stake.  " John frowned deeply. He didn't understand why Master Zixuan said that? If he practices like this, his physical body has already been reborn. If he doesn't want to, how can ordinary swords hurt him? But he  I believe it. Master Zixuan would not talk nonsense, so he asked again: "What happened next?  " Master Zixuan said again: "They buried you.  But you won't die.  You will emerge from the tomb.  When I see your disciples again.  They will come back to life because of your death, strengthen their beliefs, and become your most devout believers.  They will eliminate all doubts and be able to face all difficulties.  Believe in your guidance and run throughout your life proclaiming your guidance.  " John was very happy after hearing this and said: "That's great!  My friend, my brother.  This is really awesome.  I think I already know where my evangelistic path will lead.  " Master Zixuan was about to speak. Suddenly, John's brows furrowed and he seemed to say very eagerly: "My friend, my brother.  I have an urgent matter and want to leave.  Thank you very much for what you said to me, which helped me understand the path.  Even if I return to my hometown in the future, I will always remember you.  I hope that one day in the future, you can ascend to heaven and become a god. I hope that we can meet again one day.  " After saying that, John left in a hurry. Several people watched John leave. Zhang Sun asked Master Zixuan: "Brother, it seems that you haven't finished speaking just now?  "Shi Zixuan said: "Yes, the result of my deduction, and the last sentence.  It's a pity that he didn't have time to listen to it all.  " Zhang Sun asked with great interest: "What is it?  Can you tell me?  "Master Zixuan nodded and said: "John's disciple.  Will do better than he imagined.  They would found him his sect and invest him with divinity.  From now on, John's name will never be forgotten.? is the name of an ascetic who will be elevated to the altar.  " Zhang Sun said in confusion: "Isn't this great?  "Master Zixuan said: "Is it very good?  I don't see it that way.  John guided his disciples to preach everywhere for the purpose of doing good. In his words, it was to bring bright guidance to the lost sheep so that they would no longer have doubts in their hearts.  But his disciples did not really accept his guidance, but were shocked by the miracle of his resurrection from the dead.  They believed in John's miracles, not in the guidance he brought.  Perhaps his disciples will accept his guidance from the bottom of their hearts, follow his words, and follow his actions.  But in the future, when they established a sect, they would not be able to perform miracles like John, and John would never appear in front of them again.  So how do we get people to believe them later?  " Zhang Sun blurted out: "Making up miracles?  "Master Zixuan smiled and said: "Yes.  It's simple, right?  Just put pen to paper and that's it.  Make up stories for the gods and praise their miracles on earth.  Just write it down on paper.  As time goes by, the story becomes reality.  And the facts will become legends.  " "What about John and his sect?  Zhang Sun asked. Shi Zixuan looked at the direction John left and sighed: "John, I don't know where he will go."  That's not something I can speculate on.  But I know that his sect will exalt him to heaven as a god.  Whatever you do in the future, whether good or evil, has nothing to do with him, but it will all be in his name!  "
