Lao Tzu's "Tao" is the Tao that cannot be Tao, and the name cannot be named. But I found so many of the following paragraphs:

"There is a mixture of things, and they are born from nature. Lonely, independent and unchanging, circumferential and not dying, can be the mother of heaven and earth. I don't know its name, the strong word is called the way, and the strong name is big. The big is gone, the past is far away, and the far is reversed. ”

"The Tao is a thing, but it is in a trance. In a trance, there is an elephant in it; In a trance, there is something in it. ”

"Tao Chong, and use it or not profitable. Abyss, like the sect of all things; Zhanxi, as if it exists. I don't know whose son is the first of the emperors. ”

"If you don't see it, it's called Yi; If you don't hear it, your name is Xi; I can't fight, and the name is small. These three cannot be interrogated, so they are mixed into one. There is no darkness on the top, and there is no ambiguity on the bottom. The rope is indescribable, and it returns to things. It is said to be formless, the image of nothing, and it is said to be trance. The first one is missing, and then the one is gone. ”

"The god of grains is immortal, it is called Xuanyi. The gate of Xuanqi is the root of heaven and earth. If it exists, it is not used diligently. ”。

"The Tao is the mystery of all things."

The Tao Te Ching begins: "The Tao is the Tao, the Tao is the Tao, the name is famous, the name is famous, the ...... is very famous" The mortals of my generation crashed into it and suddenly fell into the clouds and mist.

"Dao" can be interpreted as reasoning, path, and saying, and there are versions of "Dao Ke Dao, non-constant Dao...... "Dao Ke, Dao Fei, Chang Dao ......" and so on, and there can be dozens of interpretations in permutations and combinations.

The annotations chew the words and quote the scriptures, all of which are talking to themselves. Or the Tao Te Ching, its own content is the most convincing.

From the point of view of cultivation, everything is easily solved: if the Tao is spoken, it is not the Tao.

This is the same as the attitude of the Buddhist scriptures: the Dharma that is preached in the world is not the Dharma.

Tang monk Xitian first took the wordless white scroll is the true scripture, but it is a pity that the naked eye does not know the fetus, and later, with the Tang King gave the purple gold bowl in exchange for the word scripture, this is the foolish beings can understand.

No wonder it is said that the Buddha is the Tao.

"Dao" is not within the scope of the existing language and writing, this Tao Te Ching makes it clear that "Dao" can only be Dao, and all commentaries can only be misunderstandings.

There are many things that I understand, but it's hard to express. It's like the divinity in the soul, you can't say it, and when you say it, the divinity disappears.

Lao Tzu is like a linguistic talent from outer space, but in the description of the Tao, he is also powerless, and he can't even choose a name.

The mystery of the Tao Te Ching lies in this.

This Tao is different from the God in monotheism, God still has a concept to some extent, and the Tao is not clear and cannot be understood.

Confucius once asked Lao Tzu, of course, it is no longer possible to test.

Confucius famously said: It is okay to die at night. This is obviously not to express the spirit of learning, or to sacrifice one's life for righteousness.

Because of the "Tao", it really smells bad.

In terms of thought, there is no one more than Confucius.

So did Confucius hear the Tao?

According to historical records: "Birds, I know they can fly; Beast, I know it can walk; The walker can be reckless, the traveler can be Lun, and the flyer can be Yasang. As for the dragon, I don't know that it rode the storm to the sky. I see Lao Tzu today, and he is like a dragon! ”

Confucius, as a virtuous sage, did not know much about the Tao, so he had to worship ghosts and gods and stay away.

The development of physics to this day is also in the ultimate exploration, and the current discussion is whether China should build a large particle collider, so as to prove that the superstring theory, to find out the God particle, Lao Tzu said "one", but unfortunately it is still far away. But it also proves that there are laws in the material world that can be studied.

It can neither be said nor named, is it the source code that makes up the world? Oh God! No wonder, "I don't know whose son is the first of the emperors." ”

"Dao" is really mysterious, spinning and spinning, is it talking about the double helix DNA of genetics?

In addition to the Yahwa Ching, the Tao Te Ching, which is the most widely spread in the human world, has a philosophical influence. It must have touched the most original place of the human heart.

I doubt that the Tao can be translated, and the most accurate translation is not to translate, because Lao Tzu feels it with non-literal thinking.

Why can't Taoism fight Buddhism? Because there are a bunch of Sanskrit words in the Buddhist scriptures, believers can understand it in their hearts, and they will not get tired of reciting it again. In the field of theology, it is never better to talk about people than to talk nonsense, note: I'm going to talk nonsense too.

The Tao is the "I Ching".

Another ancient book, the Book of Changes, is a complete interpretation of the Tao.

The study of the I Ching has been exerted by the Chinese to the point of incomparability, what Qimen Dunjia, gossip yin and yang, the learning is too deep, more complex than the entire modern physics, what is the drum up? Nothing.

I Ching can also be as simple as a binary, 1100, machine language that modern people understand. The world source code was mentioned above, and maybe it's really right. "One life is two, two, three and three give birth to all things, and all things are negative yin and embrace yang", which reflects the most basic evolution law of the world. If it's really a program, it's not enough to reach 64 hexagrams, and you have to go on infinitely in order to evolve all things, which is the same as modern programming in the game scene.

Virtual reality mortals can't figure it out, so fortune telling is mostly blind calculations. Modern forecasting can be used to the idea of the Book of Changes, input various variables into it, and use the computer to arrange gossip will be very accurate, not only the weather, earthquakes, but also all aspects can be scientifically predicted, and the work of traders in the market will be robbed by robots in the future.

The magical I Ching, mortals study it randomly, it is better to learn programming, or if you are interested in the law of evolution of things, you can look at the philosophical book written by the leader, "Contradiction", which is the best play to the I Ching. The change of contradiction is the change of yin and yang, and if you eat it thoroughly, you can win the world.

Alas, it is not easier to understand the I Ching than it is to understand the Tao.

How did Lao Tzu get the Tao and return to the infant state.

The so-called Taoist achievement of the holy womb and the cultivation of the primordial infant may really be a bit of Taoism. Only when people return to their initial state can they perceive the essence of the world.

How is Lao Tzu made?

Judging from the Tao Te Ching, Lao Tzu did not live in seclusion or meditate on alchemy. There is a lot of non-action state of mind cultivation in it.

Is it so amazing to be in a simple state of mind?

"My words are easy to know and easy to do. The world can not know, can not do. ”

Okay, that's so easy to say, so let's ignore the philosophical teachings that come out of the bird's eggs and find an approximate cultivation method.

"Carry the camp and hug one, can you be inseparable?"

"Single-minded and soft, can you be like a baby?"

"Cleansing the Xuanjian, can it be flawless?"

"When the gate of heaven is open and closed, can it be a female?"

"The god of grains is immortal, it is called Xuanyi. The gate of Xuanqi is the root of heaven and earth. If it exists, it is not used diligently. ”

"Empty its heart, solid its belly, weak its will, strong its bones."

"To the extreme, keep quiet. All things work together, and I look at it. ”

"Stuff it, close its door, and don't work hard for life. Open it, help it, and don't save it for life. Seeing the small and bright, the soft and the strong. Use its light to restore its light, and leave no body behind; It's for the usual. ”

"Plugging its exchange, closing its door, frustrating its sharpness, resolving its disputes, and its light, with its dust, is the same as the mystery."

Tao Te Ching 5000 inside and out, about the content of practice, that's all, I'm afraid a few sentences are still very reluctant. And Lao Tzu wrote these words, it seems that he still piggybacked,

There are no exercises and secrets, magic channel techniques, if you can't believe it, you can find it yourself.

Most of it is the art of governing the country, military politics, philosophy and ethics for people, what about Mao, where is there a cultivation of immortals?
