Chapter 6 Whole-sex fidelity, not burdened by things
Li Chengzhen could feel that these brothers cared about them sincerely.
But this kindness he really has no blessings, he Li Chengzhen is first of all a strange person, a person who seeks the Tao, cultivating the Tao before cultivating the heart, and what he recognizes the most is the thought of Yang Zhu, the sage of the Warring States Period.
Lose a little to benefit the world, not with it, all the world is dedicated, not to take it. No one loses a single bit, everyone is not good for the world, and the world is governed. - "Liezi Yang Zhu"
The specific meaning can also be understood literally, basically that everyone does their best, neither does what is beneficial to themselves and harms the world, nor does it do things that are beneficial to the world and harms themselves, then the world will naturally become better.
This is also the patriarchal admonition believed in by the demons of the whole sex, but they have already embarked on the crooked path, saying that the whole sex is true and not burdened with things, and as a result, they have become a group of indulgent madmen.
It is true hypocrisy to only remember not to pluck a hair, but to keep silent and not take a single hair.
In fact, the idea of the sage Yang Zhu is to value oneself, but to value oneself is not self-interest, but "the most precious person in one's body is no more than life", saying that life is short, so we must pay attention to ourselves, pay attention to ourselves, and do not let it be damaged, because there is no way to start all over again.
So what should we do with this self-esteem and noble life? Then we have to "full fidelity", what is the whole nature, that is, to conform to the nature of nature, since it has been born, then we must live well, the material can nourish itself, then just use it, don't treat yourself badly, don't worry too much.
But the most important point is that you can't be insatiable, you must know how to be temperate, everything is enough, you can't pursue material things excessively, and at the same time, you can't do things that harm others for the sake of material things.
Otherwise, it will be swayed by external objects, which will make the desire expand, so how can we achieve the realm of "not burdening with things"?
So what is fidelity? As the name suggests, it is to maintain the authenticity given by nature at the beginning of life.
"Liezi Yang Zhu" has a saying, the ancient people, knowing the temporary coming of life, the temporary coming of death, so indulge in the heart, do not go against the likes of nature, the entertainment of the body is not to go, so not to be persuaded by the name, from the sex and swimming, not against the good of all things, the name after death is not taken, so it is not within the reach of punishment, the reputation is first, the number of years, is not measured.
It means that the ancient people knew that life came temporarily, and death came temporarily, so they should move according to their hearts, not go against the preferences of nature, and do not deliberately avoid their own pleasures, so that they will not be tempted by fame, and let their nature wander, but they will not disobey the likes and dislikes of all things, so they will not be punished by the criminal law.
The so-called size of reputation and the length of life are not considered by them.
From this point of view, although Yang Zhu's whole-sex fidelity encourages people to follow their nature and control their own destiny, it also warns people that while not going against the good of nature, they should not go against the good of all things.
Therefore, the real whole-sex fidelity is by no means indulgence without a bottom line, nor is it to teach people to be selfish, but the Yang Zhu school needs to know how to exercise restraint and understand the truth of contentment and happiness.
Although Yang Zhu encourages people to indulge their nature, but in essence, it is to add a lock to it, people want to indulge themselves, it is actually a very simple thing, but after indulgence, if you want to regain moderation, it is as difficult as heaven.
And the current whole nature is obviously completely contrary to Patriarch Yang Zhu's words, they are nothing more than rationalizing their own behavior, venting, and indulgence under the guise of releasing their true nature.
Over time, they have become slaves to their desires, so how can they attain enlightenment?
That's why Li Chengzhen refused the kindness of his brothers, because the wealth that exceeded his needs was a burden to him, and it was not only not beneficial to his cultivation, but a drag.
So I can only understand it.
………………
Several people looked at each other and spread their hands, I don't know how many times they persuaded Li Chengzhen, I only know that this kid is stubborn, and he doesn't agree no matter what he says.
"Come on, come on, don't talk about these useless things," Jin Jiyin saw that the atmosphere was a little stiff, and naturally diverted the topic, "Lao Wang, what's going on in your family?" Two days ago, your father and my father complained for a long time, staring at the blowing beard and staring, and didn't tell me, which made my heart itch. ”
"Harm, it's not a big deal," Wang Yi shook his head and smacked his lips, "It's my third brother, Xiaoye, I also told you, after he went to Wudang once when he was a child, he chattered after he came back, and he liked to study that pile of scriptures, which was not a big deal, but two days ago he suddenly made a fuss and said that he wanted to become a monk, which made my father angry enough, so I persuaded him next to me, and almost beat me together." ”
"Hey, your brother has a lot of character," Liao Yunzhang said as he stuffed a cigarette into his mouth, "What happened later?" ”
"What else can I do? My brother and my father can't talk to anyone, and then my father let go, saying that he has the ability to let my brother take the Tsinghua exam, if he can be admitted, he won't say a word in the future, and he doesn't care what my brother dos," Wang Yi shrugged, "Anyway, in the past two days, my brother has been studying in the room as soon as he comes home, and sometimes there is no one at dinner." ”
"Hey, Qinghua, your dad is really ruthless," Su Tongxuan was surprised, "It's not difficult to get into that place, but it's different if you want to get in." ”
"Harm, don't talk about this, anyway, with my father's back, he doesn't have to worry about having no way out," Wang Yi waved his hand, "Come on, come on, drink and drink, don't raise fish!" ”
The crowd began to push the cups and change the lamps again.
………………
Li Chengzhen was sent back to the pear orchard with a drunken body, and staggered to bed, wanting to put on a posture of five hearts to the sky, but he was staggering and always a little unstable.
I had no choice but to use Zhenqi to force out some of the alcohol in my blood to feel better.
I'm rubbing, this group of people really want to drink him to death, who is a good person who drinks vodka and whiskey!
On second thought, the dog thieves just now wanted to drag him to some underground clubhouse to have some fun, and ordered him to go out with them at least once a month.
Suddenly I felt that life was hopeless.
Li Chengzhen glanced at the sky outside, and the spring night was bitter and short...... Heh, this is the time to practice.
Li Chengzhen took a deep breath and forcibly calmed himself down from all kinds of external desires, although these worldly desires are obstacles for cultivators, but from another point of view, they are not a grind.
Just like whether a stone is a stumbling block or a stepping stone, it is up to the person to decide, and if he can overcome these circumstances, it will be of great benefit to his practice.
The ultimate pursuit of those who seek the Tao in this world is feathering, which represents detachment from the world, which can also be understood as birth.
How can you be born without joining the WTO?
It's the time of practice......
