Chapter 382: The Tao Gives Birth to All Things

"The words of the senior who revealed to me his views on beauty, ugliness, good and evil also shocked me greatly. (-)

I remember what he said: The door of all wonders is known to the world. The good is good, the good is not, and the good is deceased. What surprises me here is that my predecessors put the last sentence in the first chapter of the Tao Te Ching, "the gate of all wonders", in the first sentence of this paragraph, I don't know why. This sentence is equally powerful. But the meaning of this passage was not stingy that day, and explained it to me a little bit, and here I also say it to my descendants. The predecessor said that there are two key words to understand in this sentence, "矣" and "has", and he explained that "矣" means "了", which means perfect tense, and "has" means later, after some time, and deceased means after understanding. In short, the meaning of this sentence is to say, 'The secret gate of all things is known to everyone in the world.' Whether everyone's behavior is beautiful or evil will be known immediately after the action is over, and whether everyone's behavior is good or bad will not be known until everyone wakes up after the behavior is over. To put it simply, it is to illustrate a truth that 'beauty and ugliness are easy to distinguish, and good and evil are difficult to distinguish'. Although I still have reservations about his assertion, I can listen to this passage very well, and it really speaks to my heart. No matter how much it is, at this point, I am a senior and his old man.

That day, my seniors asked me, do you remember the Three Jewels of Tianzun (that is, Lao Tzu's honorific title)? I am very familiar with this, and I also do things according to the Three Jewels of Tianzun, and I can forget it. I came casually: 'I have three treasures, and I will keep them: one is kindness, the second is thrift, and the third is not daring to be the first in the world. Kindness can be brave, thrift can be wide, dare not be the world's first reason to become a long'

The senior said, 'I'll correct it for you, and compare it yourself, which one is easier to use and which one is easier to use.' As soon as I heard that I was going to correct it, I immediately came to the god of jīng, thinking that he wouldn't come out again this time. Sure enough, it seems that every time the seniors are not shocking, he doesn't say anything.

'I have three treasures, hold on to them: one is kindness, two is frugality, and three is no. Dare to be the first in the world, be kind and brave, be thrifty, and dare not be the first in the world, so you can become a long. ’

The seniors also told me that among the three treasures of Tianzun, the third treasure he valued the most was the third treasure.

......

Another conversation, I would like to thank my senior, his message played a crucial role in my re-acquaintance with one of Tianzun's famous sayings, one of my favorite Tianzun quotes is 'Woe and blessing are relied upon, and fortune and misfortune are lurking.' I used to just like it, but I didn't understand it profoundly. This time, under the guidance of my seniors, I woke up and thanked my seniors for the following words:

Its government is dull, its people are pure, and its government is inspected, but its people are lacking. Misfortune and blessing are relied upon, and blessing and misfortune are lurking. Who knows the extreme, but it doesn't. Righteousness is strange, goodness is revenge for demons, and people's mí is fixed for a long time. It is a saint, square but not cut, honest but not slashing, straight but not wanton, light but not shining.

Maybe future generations will ask, why do you have to thank your predecessors, this is Tianzun's original words. Careful descendants may find that there is a change in this sentence. Please see the words originally set for xìng:

Its government is dull, its people are pure, and its government is inspected, but its people are lacking. Misfortune and blessing are relied upon, and blessing and misfortune are lurking. Who knows the extreme, it is not right. The positive is strange, the good is the demon, and the mí of man is fixed for a long time. It is a saint, square but not cut, honest but not slashing, straight but not wanton, light but not shining.

The words of the predecessors changed, 'who knows the extreme, but does not.' The reason why I am not surprised this time is that the words of my predecessors naturally reminded me of a very old saying, and the truth is a fallacy. And the doctrine of 'too much'. The meaning of 'righteousness' shows that 'although it is good, it is not necessarily good to be right.' This also reveals that "misfortune and blessing are relied upon, and blessing and misfortune are lurking." 'Judgment. ”

......

The senior said, "Li Ao, you may not understand the four words 'the saint is gone', so you try to put it together with another uncontroversial sentence that Tianzun said, maybe you will understand something." 'It is easy to hold, it is not easy to plan, it is brittle and easy to pan, and it is easy to disperse. For the sake of the pre-emptive and the curing of the pre-chaos. There is no controversy about this sentence, what Tianzun said here is 'for the sake of the future, and the rule is for the sake of the chaos', so is it true that the existence and the chaos have not yet happened? But I'm not in a hurry, it will take some days before I comprehend the way of heaven.

During the sixth agitation, my predecessors tried to unravel the meaning of "Tao, give birth to one by one" for me, but after listening to it, I still didn't seem to understand it. My predecessors told me that the message conveyed by "Tao Shengyi" is that the Tao only gives birth to one, and then goes to give birth to two. This is a first-class understanding. And the message conveyed by "the Tao is born one by one" is that the Tao is generated one after another, and the message to be conveyed here is that one by one is born of the Tao and is equal.

"Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things. "It's a one-line regression, while. "The Tao gives birth to one one, two to two, three to three, and all things. "It's a two-line layer. This is the first time I've heard this.

At the seventh meeting, my seniors cleared away an obstacle for me to read the Tao Te Ching. I am very happy. I've always been a little disgusted with the foolish policies of the people advocating Tianzun. What is bad to teach people is good, you have to call people to be stupid people, this becomes a +**** He ** system, the entire Han people have become stupid people, so how can the country develop. In this meeting with my senior, I asked him this question directly, deliberately embarrassing him. I'd like to see what he has to say. This time, the senior said, "You have asked this question very well, to be honest, I also don't like the word stupid, to put it bluntly, everyone wants to be a smart person, who wants to be a stupid person." Since ancient times, there have been many people who have interpreted the Tao Te Ching, but now there are still many people who are singing praises for the foolish word Tianzun, which is actually misleading. I think Tianzun is also very disgusted with this stupidity. "This is the same thing I mean, but it makes me feel at a loss, I only know that Tianzun is **** wise, and I have never heard that Tianzun is also **** stupid. This can't be the predecessors in the paste.

In the next words, I heard that the predecessors were not mushy people. He said, "Although Tianzun also dislikes this stupid word, he also advocates the idea of 'not to understand the people, but to be foolish', just like the Yue Wang Goujian's lying salary and tasting courage." Yue Wang Goujian knows that the bitterness of bile has to be tasted every day, and what he has experienced is will. Tianzun's advocacy of 'not to be a clear people, but to be foolish' is the wisdom of Tianzun beyond ordinary people, Tianzun wants to remind people, so that people understand their own stupidity, so that they can think and learn, and get wisdom by waking up in stupidity. Tianzun's proposition is that the Taoist moves the opposite. Tianzun understands that in order to get a good result, you must start from its opposite, that is, from dealing with bad things to get a good result. This is not the same as Tianzun praising bad things and **** good things. This concept is something that we must correct when we comprehend the thoughts of the Heavenly Venerable. I nodded my head again and again.

The last time my predecessor told me was 'Tao can be Tao Fei, Heng Dao, name can be named, Chang Name.' This is the summary of his predecessors' views on him, and it is also the general outline of the Tao Te Ching written by Tianzun that he discovered.

It is the so-called heaven from time to time, the earth is unfavorable, people are not in harmony, and words are unfaithful. Now is not the time to see through some of the key issues. I told the juniors: don't love the seniors, the seniors are just legends of the future, don't try to blame anything, I just take charge of my juniors Li Ao

If this story has enlightened you, I hope you will think about it a lot, if this story inspires you, I hope you will think about it often, and if this story disturbs your mind, then you don't have to read it anymore

The world is like this, just as Tianzun said: When the sergeant hears the Tao, he acts diligently, when the sergeant hears the Tao, if he survives, he dies, and when the corporal hears the Tao, he laughs loudly, and not laughing is not enough for the Tao.

Tell the juniors that the analytical method used by the seniors is the theory of the I Ching, which he told me personally, and once showed me his I Ching diagram. But it's definitely not what we call Zhouyi. Although the Zhou Yi is the Book of Changes, we know that there are three major I Ching in ancient Chinese legends, namely Lian San Yi (also known as Lianshan Yi), Guizang Yi and Zhou Yi. The I Ching diagram that my predecessor showed me, he called it the Book of Heaven, and claimed that it was the earliest I Ching that had long been lost----- Lian Sanyi. As for whether he said Lian Sanyi, I don't know, but I saw it, I didn't understand it at first, but after he said that, I felt that what he said still made some sense, as if it was really like that. This book of heaven gives me the feeling that it is very complicated to say that it is complicated, and it is very simple to say that it is simple and simple. In fact, the book of heaven he said, it can really be called the book of heaven, there is not a word on it, it is all dotted circles and horizontal lines, how to see, dense, after pointing, the law is suddenly revealed. The seniors also told me that the Tianzun Tao Te Ching he comprehended was the instruction manual of his Heavenly Book. I don't believe that. But I still see a little way.

Tell the juniors that you have not seen his so-called Book of Heaven (I call it the Book of Heaven), and if you do, you will slowly understand the principle of his broken sentences. Because from his book of heaven, you can see at a glance that 'the Tao gives birth to one one, gives birth to two two, gives birth to three or three, and gives birth to the law of all things and all things', and the whole picture of heaven is a feeling of 'attaching yīn and hugging **, impulsive and thinking of harmony'. Obviously, three-year-old children can see it, and they don't have to work hard to summarize Zhou Yizhong for a long time, and finally wonder if their results are like this. ”
