Chapter 125: Forgotten in the rivers and lakes
Now, seek defeat and read to the "Great Master" chapter.
The "greatness" of "great master" refers to "Tao". "Zong" is the "Zong" of Lao Tzu's "Sect for the Sect of All Things", that is, the master of all things. "Teacher" is the imitation of all things in heaven and earth.
Therefore, "The Great Master" is Zhuang Zhou's exposition of Laozi's Taoist thoughts, and its main purpose is to say that the Tao is the master of all things in the world. From "knowing what the heavens do" to "comparing with the stars".
For the realm of real people, "The Great Master" made a detailed explanation, that is:
The true people of the ancients were not rebellious, not male, and not incredible.
The ancient real people, they don't sleep, they don't sleep, they don't have to worry, they don't want to eat, and their breath is deep.
The true people of the ancients did not know how to live or die, they did not know how to come out, they did not know how to enter and went, and they just went and came and went.
The true people of the ancients are not friends in their senses, and they do not admit if they are insufficient; they are not strong in their appearance, and they are not flashy in their openness.
Zhuang Zhou advocated that cultivating the truth and seeking immortals, purifying the heart and leaving the mind, detaching from the form and going to the wisdom, forgetting life and death, and conforming to nature. The unity of heaven and man, in the final analysis, is to conform to the way of heaven and be in harmony with the way of heaven.
In Zhuang Zhou's view, the relationship between heaven and man is the unity of heaven and man, and only real people can know the Tao.
The nature of the Tao is "sentient and faithful, inaction, formless, passable, unacceptable, obtainable but invisible, from the root of the root, without heaven and earth, since ancient times; gods, ghosts, gods And preached on the role of the sermon.
The chapter of "The Great Master" revolves around his "Dao" proposition, gradually unfolding, progressing step by step, aiming at the "axe of cutting nature", with a target.
"In ancient times, the 'real people' had a majestic but not reserved expression, as if they were inadequate but had nothing to bear; their attitude was calm and natural, they were outstanding but not stubborn, they were broad and empty but not flashy; they seemed to be extraordinarily happy, and their every move seemed to be out of necessity! their faces were pleasant, they liked to be approachable, they were kind and virtuous in their dealings with people, and they were willing to return; they were generous and generous, and they were like a wide world! they were free from any restrictions, they seemed to like to close themselves off, and they seemed to have forgotten what they wanted to say. ”
"It is impossible for nature and man to oppose each other and transcend each other, and those who have this understanding are called 'real people'. ”
Zhuang Zhou pointed out that the spiritual realm of "real people" is the visualization of "Tao". Only a "true person" can perceive the "Tao", and in order to perceive the "Tao", one must have "no one" and "no self."
"When the spring dries up, the fish are on land, wet with each other, and foam at each other, so it is better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes...... The husband carries me in shape, labors me to live, I grow old, and I die to death. Therefore he who is good to my life is therefore good to die. ”
"Detaching from the form to know, the same as the chase" is the way to enter the realm of "Tao".
Zhuang Zhou pointed out the way to realize the real person: "suspense", "heart fasting", and "sitting and forgetting".
The so-called "suspense" is what Zhuangzi believes is the correct attitude towards life, that is, "to be at peace with the times".
"Suspense" is only a passive method, and in order to cultivate to become a "real person", there must also be "heart fasting" and "sitting and forgetting".
Confucius told him, "Fasting at the time of sacrifice and fasting at the heart are two different things, fundamentally different. You have to be single-minded, first do not use the ear to hear but to experience with the heart, and then do not use the heart to experience, and use the air to sense external objects, the role of the ear is only to listen to the sound of the outside world, the role of the heart is only to sense a phenomenon, only the air will contain foreign objects with its emptiness and quietness. As long as you reach a state of empty mind, the way of nature will be able to merge with you, and the mind is this state of mind. "Fasting is the enlargement and expansion of the mind until it achieves unity with the Tao, which is also a preparation for "sitting and forgetting".
"Confucius asked in amazement and uneasiness, 'What do you mean by 'sitting and forgetting'?" and Yan replied: 'Destroying the strong limbs, retiring the sensitive sense of hearing and clear vision, detaching from the body and abandoning the wisdom, and thus becoming one with the Great Dao, this is called the 'sitting and forgetting' of meditation and emptiness.' Confucius said, "If you are the same as all things, you will not have a preference, and if you adapt to change, you will not cling to common sense." You've really become a sage!"
The chapter of "The Great Master" is recorded.
"In a word, the blending of water and milk is the way to cultivate the truth. The avenue is three thousand, and there is tolerance. ”
I can't help but sigh when I seek defeat.
He remembered that Lao Tzu wrote in the Tao Te Ching: "Goodness is like water." Water is good for all things without fighting, and it is evil for everyone, so it is more than the Tao. Dwelling in a good place, having a good heart, being kind and benevolent, being kind and believing, being good in governance, doing good things, and moving in good times. The husband is indisputable, so there is no especially. ”
In two sentences, it can be summed up as water can be good for all things without dispute, and can tolerate everything.
"The sea is inclusive, and tolerance is great. ”
He still remembered that there was another famous saying in the cultivation realm.
"The sea is tolerant of all rivers, tolerance is great", that is, to be open-minded and broad-minded, to put it bluntly, whether it is to behave in the world, or to cultivate the truth and seek immortals, it is to be open-minded!
"For the life of the universe, cultivation must be inside and out. into it, so it can be refined. Out of the ordinary, so it can be observed. ”
Some cultivators have pointed out the importance of the open-mindedness of the cultivator's own state of mind and vision. The meaning of this sentence is not only to talk about cultivating truth, but also to apply it to many aspects. If you want to be proficient in a martial art, such as cultivating the truth, you have to be able to get in and out. Only when you can get in can you have an experience, and if you can go out, you can transcend or surpass. First enter the small cycle, and then break it and stand up, enter the larger cycle, the progress of martial arts is to enter the small cycle and enter the larger cycle, and there will be no end.
The word "contemplation", which is common in cultivation, is a method of cultivation. Covering the volume and pondering, I feel that the chapter of "The Great Master" emphasizes that the pursuit of cultivation is a kind of realm of moderation, no longer obsessed with cultivation, no longer obsessed with the realm, but as the ancients said: happiness but not lewdness, sadness but not sadness.
To cultivate the truth, we must be invested and rational.
That is all the laws in the world, all can be broken, no matter how profound the martial arts are, they can be broken, as the so-called one thing descends to one thing, there is no first in the world? ”
He concluded.
I finally read the content of the cultivation guide, and now I start to practice the mantra of the "Easy Formula".
Although "Xiaoyao Jue" writes a lot of views on Xiuzhen and the Great Dao in great detail, its formula is unusually concise and concise, and the full text is only 59 words:
One is quiet, one is exhaling, one is hollow, one is breathless.
A dantian, a gathering of energy, a jump, a gathering of hearts.
Hundreds of acupuncture points itch, thousands of pulses hurt, thousands of flesh moves, and billions of spirits appear.
The sun and the moon see, the stars float, the chaos merges, and the wind is mighty.
God is better than his body, Xianda is his will, and the king is peaceful in the world.
The words are concise and concise, and Tong Suo understands them, as the so-called is: "The words of the gods and men are small, the words of the saints are concise, and the words of the sages are clear."
