Lee Xian, Cultivator of Guyon

The Moment of Life's Funny

Over the next few weeks, the cultivation practice continued diligently. The disciples felt closer to the energy in their bodies and more able to control it. Lian continued to show impressive progress, and the other students felt inspired by her dedication.

One day, Xian decided to end the lesson with a deep joke about freedom. He told me about an old cultivator who reached the highest level of cultivation and felt very happy. When asked why he was so happy, the old cultivator replied, "Because I am no longer attached to this world. I feel free as the wind."

The disciples laughed hearing the story, but they also pondered its meaning. They began to realize that freedom in cultivation was not only about achieving a high level of strength, but also about self-liberation from limitations and fears in thoughts and emotions.

As the sun slowly sank in the sky, the disciples left the study room with hearts full of vigor and strong determination. They knew that their cultivation journey was still long, but they had understood that inner freedom was the key to achieving true peace in life. With their determination growing stronger, they prepared to face the challenges that would come in their cultivation journey.

The weeks passed quickly at Qinglian college, and the new students continued to make significant progress in their cultivation journey. They have understood the concept of inner freedom and feel closer to the energy in their body. The atmosphere in the college remains peaceful and harmonious.

That morning, the disciples gathered in the college courtyard for a routine cultivation lesson with Master Xian. They sat cross-legged on the red carpet, ready to listen to Master Xian's instructions diligently.

Xian stood in front of them with a bright smile on his face. "Today, friends," Xian said, "we will talk about the importance of cuteness in our cultivation journey. Being too serious in cultivation can make us stressed and tense. So, let's learn to relax ourselves and find happiness in cuteness."

The disciples nodded in agreement, and Xian began to tell him about some funny experiences he had during his journey as a cultivator. They laugh out loud listening to those stories and feel more relaxed.

Xian then reminded them of Guyon's college philosophy, that laughter is the best medicine. "In cultivation, we often face challenges and difficulties" Xian said. "But we must also learn not to get too fixated on the problem. Try to find happiness in cuteness and jokes, even in difficult situations."

During the meditation practice, Xian asked his students to reflect on the funny moments in their lives and try to feel the happiness in those memories. They felt lighter and cheerful as they followed Xian's directions.

After the lesson was over, the new students left the college courtyard with smiles on their faces. They felt grateful for the teaching and support they received from Xian. They also felt increasingly ready to face the challenges that would come in their cultivation journey.

During meditation practice, Xian gives examples of some of the humorous moments in his life to illustrate the importance of finding happiness in cuteness. He spoke in a cheerful tone and his students sat attentively, ready to listen to the funny stories. Here are some examples of funny moments that Xian shared:

Second Story: Wrong Wearing Clothes "When I first tried the traditional cultivator's clothes, I wore them upside down unconsciously" Xian told with a smile. "I only realized that mistake when everyone in college started laughing. I learned not to take myself too seriously and that small mistakes are natural."

The Third Story: Trapped on the Roof "One time, while I was training on the rooftop of college, I was stuck there for a few hours because the roof door was locked from the outside," Xian said in a comical tone. "I ended up having to call a friend to help me get down. It taught me that sometimes we should ask for help and not feel ashamed about it."

Every story that Xian shared was met with warm laughter from his students. They felt more connected to their teachers and were better able to feel more relaxed in their cultivation journey. Xian reminds them that life is full of funny moments and there is no need to be too serious all the time. Funniness and happiness are an important part of a balanced cultivation journey.

Xian also gives examples of funny moments in their lives to help students reflect and feel happiness in those memories. Here are some examples he shares:

First Lesson Moment: Xian laughed as he recalled the first time he had learned a cultivation technique. He told how he once misdirected the energy and instead made it fly up the tree, until he was trapped there and had to ask his friends for help to get down.

Funny Story in the Market: Xian tells the story of when he went to the market to buy vegetables, but instead ended up buying the only remaining fish skeleton because he misunderstood the language of the merchant. This made him feel silly, but he felt happiness in his ability to laugh at himself.

When Lian Impacts Guyonan: Xian reminds Lian of one funny moment when she laughs loudly because she misunderstands a guy she made. Lian also laughed as she recalled the moment, and it made the atmosphere of the meditation practice more relaxed.

Little Stories from Disciples: Xian also asked his students to share funny stories from their life experiences. Some students tell stories of funny misunderstandings, funny conversations with friends, or funny occurrences at home. All these stories make them smile and feel closer to each other.

During the meditation practice, Xian guides them to reflect on the moments with the inner eye. They are invited to feel the happiness and relief that comes when laughing together in funny situations. It helps them to relax their mind and body, as well as relieve stress and tension.

Meanwhile, Xian sat on the college terrace, staring at the sunset on the horizon. He was happy to see the progress his students had made. They had understood that cuteness and happiness were an important part of the cultivation journey, and he hoped that they would bring this philosophy with them as they continued their journey towards the peak of cultivation.

The atmosphere in the Qinglian college continued to become brighter and more energetic. The new disciples knew that their cultivation journey was still long, but with high spirits, they were ready to face all the obstacles that might appear in front of them.
