Chapter 413: Have You Attained the Dao?
"Good, good! Since you all have to admit that you are my disciples, I am your master! All right! I, the Master, have been preaching for so long, so! Right now! I'm going to test you! What is your understanding of the Word? Have you attained enlightenment?
If you have attained the Tao and understood what the Tao is, you will be a qualified disciple, and I will be a qualified master. If you don't understand what the Tao is, it means that I, the Master, are not qualified. I've been preaching the Tao for so many days, and I've been talking about it in vain, and I haven't let you understand what the Tao is, and I'm not qualified as a master! ”
Zhuangzi believes in his sister-in-law's ability to understand! But he didn't dare to compliment Zhang Shan's brain. This guy, there are many times, his head still can't turn around.
Mrs. Sister-in-law and Zhang Shan looked at each other and smiled, and said with a big grin: "Master! You ask! ”
"Good!"
Zhuangzi sat there, and he really looked like a master and an examiner. He glanced at each other and asked very seriously, "So?" What is the Tao? ”
The Tao is the core of Taoism, and when you enter Taoism and learn Taoist doctrine and thought, you must pass the first hurdle and understand what the Tao is. If a person doesn't even know what the Tao is, he can't learn the Tao, and he is not qualified to say that he is a Taoist disciple.
For scholars who are not disciples of Taoism, if they don't know what "Tao" is, then! Their study of Taoism is all nonsense! As much as they write millions of words and how many research books they have written, they are all and worthless.
Seeing that Mrs. Sister-in-law and Zhang Shan were both very confident, they were both looking at him, smiling. Zhuangzi said: "Zhang Shan! Let's talk about it first! What is Tao? ”
He still didn't believe it, with Zhang Shan's brain, he could really understand what the Tao was. And! He can still tell.
It is really difficult for ordinary people to explain the Tao clearly, and it is even more difficult for others to understand, and the more they speak, the more confused they become. At last! Even the speaker himself doesn't know what he's talking about.
"Howler!" Zhang Shan replied. And then! Sitting up straight, looking very confident, he spoke.
"The Tao is the Tao, the Tao is the Tao, and the Tao is not the Tao. The Tao is the origin of all things, the foundation of everything in the world. The name of the Tao is famous, and the name is very ......"
Zhuangzi listened and listened, but he felt that something was wrong.
This Zhang Mountain, Nima Land! The memory is so good.
"You? You? Do you really understand what the Tao is? Zhuangzi couldn't help but interrupt Zhang Shan's sermon and asked.
"Me? I! Zhang Shan shook his head and said, "That's how I understood the Tao?" ”
"Can you give us an example of what the Word is?"
"Me? I? Zhang Shan argued: "Am I not giving an example? Master? ”
"Master?" Mrs. Sister-in-law interjected on the side: "Hasn't Zhang Shan been giving examples? ”
Zhuangzi was angry with Zhang Shan, and he couldn't cry or laugh! He shouted, "Where is he giving examples, he is not giving examples." ”
"Master? Haven't I been giving examples? Zhang Shan was also puzzled and asked.
Obviously he's been giving examples, huh? How? Master said that the example he gave was not an example?
"yes? Master? Hasn't Zhang Shan been giving examples? Don't? Isn't that how the Tao is understood? "My sister-in-law didn't understand either.
In her understanding, this is how she understands the Tao.
Zhuangzi said angrily: "You have to give your own example, you? I'm! ”
Seeing that Mrs. Sister-in-law was still puzzled, Zhuangzi explained: "Mrs. Sister-in-law! You don't know! The examples he gave were either the ones I gave when I preached or the examples that my master gave when he preached.
I doubt it! He Zhang Shan didn't understand what the Tao was at all! He's just copying (scripting)! I copied the example that my master and I gave. And himself, I suspect he simply did not understand!
I'm!
What a brain! I knew it! Can't turn around. But! He has a great memory! Alas! ”
"Master! Whining! When Zhang Shan heard this, he was so anxious that he almost cried. Hurry up to the ground and kowtow to Zhuangzi. While explaining, "Master! I really get it! I! Master! ”
"Wow that? You? You don't give me the example, you don't say the example my master gave, you give an example yourself? If you give examples, I believe you really know what it means to be a sermon. ”
"Me? I? I? Master! Woo woo woo ...... "In a hurry, Zhang Shan really couldn't give an example, so he was so anxious that he cried.
"I said it! Let me say it! He didn't understand what the Word was! He just memorized the example I gave and the example my master gave me! He has a good memory, rote memorization, but he doesn't understand! ”
"Master! Woowoo woo ......"
Zhuangzi ignored Zhang Shan and asked his sister-in-law instead, "Then tell me?" Don't cite the examples I have given, don't cite the examples that Zhang Shan gave just now, don't copy them! Don't memorize! You said? What is your understanding of the Tao? What is Tao? ”
"This?"
For a while, my sister-in-law also froze.
Although she is very intelligent and has a strong understanding ability. But? It's really hard to ask her to give another example.
"Isn't that easy? If I compare a man, you will use a dog as a parable. I use the heavens and the earth, the sun, the moon and the stars as a metaphor, and you can compare the earth, the trees, and the beasts. Zhuangzi prompted.
Seeing that Zhang Shan was still lying on the ground crying, he shouted again: "Get up!" Listen to how Mrs. Sister-in-law understands and gives examples? ”
"Master? Woooooo Zhang Shan got up, cried and said, "I really understand, I don't copy it!" But I really can't give my own example for a while! Master! ”
Zhuangzi shouted impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense! Listen to what Mrs. Sister-in-law has to say! ”
"Woo!" Zhang Shan cried twice aggrievedly, so he had to listen with his ears pricked up.
Under the pressure of Zhuangzi's eyes, the sister-in-law calmed down, thought for a while, opened her thin lips lightly, and said: "I understand that everything in the world is the Tao. Because! We don't know what they're going to become. Just like us, what is the reason for the change?
Although everything in our world can no longer change into an identical earth, the sun, moon and stars, it cannot change this universe. But maybe it will be possible to change something similar to the current universe.
The Tao is a constantly changing place! Everything in the world is constantly changing. So! Everything in the world is a ...... of the Tao"
"Hmmm! Very good! Very good! ”
Zhuangzi interrupted his sister-in-law's words and shouted at Zhang Shan: "Did you hear that? Do you hear that? How long has my sister-in-law been learning the Tao, and how long have you been learning the Tao? You see, you see? How well does my sister-in-law understand? And you! I can't even give an example!
You? It's noon today! Don't eat! If you eat it again, it will become a rice bucket! Have you ever seen a rice bucket? Inside the army, there are rice buckets! Specially used for meals! As soon as they were lifted to the battlefield, the soldiers came to take the food. The rice bucket is for rice, you! You don't have Taoism in your head, but rice! Eat too much for you! ”
"Master!" Zhang Shan cried and defended: "I also understand it this way! Master! ”
Zhuangzi didn't bother to pay attention to Zhang Shan, and continued to ask his sister-in-law: "So?" What is a human being? ”
Without hesitation, Mrs. Sister-in-law replied, "Man is the same as everything in the world, and it comes from the Tao. Return to the Tao in the future. Man, like everything else, is just a species born at the right time......"
