"Brothers, rest assured, the master is the prince of the country, where the world's great luck is, Jiren has his own natural appearance, he will definitely have nothing, after arriving in Luoyang, he will contact us!"

"What the fourth said is right, I have now gained the trust of the prostitute queen, become their henchman, and have been granted the core position of this guard, now inside and outside the court, no one knows, no one knows, now the prince is just a drop bag, the son of Aunt Jia's poisonous woman, just a puppet child who controls the court. As long as the master gives an order, I will first open the gate of the city and welcome the master to punish the poisonous woman and the thief. The second child said indignantly.

"Second child, I have really wronged you in the past year, I really sacrificed myself to feed the poisonous woman, and I am afraid that the lewd queen will torture you a lot!" the young men comforted again.

"Don't worry, I have the divine power to protect the body taught by the master, if I am not afraid that this lewd queen will find out, she will bargain for half a cent from me anyway!" He saw that the atmosphere became very serious, and hurriedly spoke again: "What kind of learning and what kind of Tao are you going to talk about today? After listening to your sermon from here last time, after returning home, I only felt that the Qi refining method taught by the master was advancing by leaps and bounds, and I didn't expect it to have such an effect, so I can't miss it today no matter what!"

"This is what Mr. Ge Hong once taught us, it can increase the cultivation speed of our channeling technique, I can't imagine that it will also have an effect on your two cultivation methods!"

"Yes, this Ge Hong said that since this path of cultivation is under the guidance of an unknown master, and there is no elixir to take, we can only rely on our own enlightenment!"

"We don't have the guidance of famous teachers, let alone the resources of those great cultivators, so we can only enlighten like this!" everyone said in a gossipy manner.

"That's fine! This ancient monk has no way to cultivate the truth, isn't it all created by himself! Old Seven, although you are the youngest of the seven of our brothers. But learning is your highest, especially this moral scripture, you will help us all today to discuss together what is the meaning of this 'dwelling in a good place, a good heart, a good heart, a good word, good governance, good work, and good time!'" The boss motioned for everyone to be quiet, and said to the youngest young man.

The young scholar named Lao Qi is also unreserved. opened his mouth and said eloquently:

There is nothing in this world that is so close to us as water. Whether it is seen with the eyes, tasted by the mouth, heard by the ears, heard by the nose, or touched by the hands, it is inseparable from it every day, just like the air and sunlight, which is needed by our human body, and even by animals and plants.

There is no such thing as water. She can freeze into ice, strong as a rock, or rise into air. Gently raise the nine skies. She is round, eclectic, clean and neat, and walks through mountains and valleys, neither humble nor arrogant. In good time. There is also the compassion of purifying the turbidity and purifying the purity-in order to cleanse other things, it is better to pollute oneself, to become stinky, to become turbid, over and over again. Again and again, patiently washing and washing other things, but peacefully accepting the end of being abandoned. The tolerance of all things - regardless of high and low. Everyone who comes is tolerant, does not argue, does not complain. As long as you give it time, dust will eventually return to dust, earth to earth, and water to water. The light one floats on the surface, and the heavy one sinks on the bottom. Maybe it's no longer as clear as ever, but it gives each other a fair and just ending after all.

There is nothing in the world that is like water, which vividly interprets the softness and turbulence at the same time. She was sometimes soft, as gentle as a little jasper, and when the wind came, the ripples on the water were silent, like its shy smile. She is sometimes turbulent, the mighty river is like an army, the waves are like thunder, and the surging flood can even rush through everything.

One yin and one yang are the way, and water also has the way of yin and yang. Overnight water is yin, and fresh water is yang. Yin is like her washing all things and rising for nine days, and yang is like her iron bones, hard as a rock. Yin is as cold or cold as hers, and yang is as hot or hot as hers. Yin is as quiet and soft as her silent, and yang is like her surging power. Yin is as tolerant and compassionate as her mother, and Yang is as righteous and selfless as her father.

Therefore, there is no better thing in the world than water. Without water, there can be no multitude of life worlds, and without water, no living thing can survive. Water gives birth to all things, nourishes all creatures and has no dispute with things, and does not seek retribution. It is weak and docile, always in the lowest place of despisance.

Therefore, the most Tao-like thing in this world is this "water", which is also the meaning of "good as water".

As the saying goes, "People go to high places, and water flows to low places". People always like to bully the superior and the low, climb the high and the noble, and the clouds go straight up, while the water always flows to the low, safest place, without the danger of overturning. "Living in a good place" is to choose and settle where you should be, and stay where you should be. See if your abilities and interests are commensurate with your position. To be content with one's position or position, it is not to rest on one's laurels, but to be at ease, to continue to seek knowledge, and to constantly improve one's talents and knowledge.

People's hearts always have selfish distractions, seven emotions and six desires, while water is crystal clear, colorless and transparent, no confusion and no turbidity, and all things can be seen. If the soul is good. "The heart is good" means that the heart should be as clear and calm as a deep pool, and not be affected and disturbed by the external environment. In particular, it is necessary to cultivate one's mind and morality, and constantly revise one's words and deeds. Intellectually clear, calm, unswayed by emotions, controlled by anger, shrouded in fear, and confused by joy. We must have a truly tolerant, tolerant, and benevolent heart for people and things. Especially for those who you don't like to see, things that are uncomfortable to look at, but also to accommodate them with a broad mind.

Water is good at nourishing all things, and kindness does not seek retribution. Plants are moisturized, and animals are salty and receive the benefits of food, which is also benevolent. "Be kind" means to be kind to others. Be respectful of the strong, and be understanding and sympathetic to the weak. Some people often show enough respect to the strong, but often look the other way at the weak, which is not the real "kindness". The way you treat others, the way others treat you. If we have a benevolent heart and a caring affection regardless of whether we are young or old, young or old, strong or weak, then we can get the strength of all people, gather everyone's wisdom, and we will achieve everything.

Water conservancy of all things, honesty and smoothness, no falsehood and no falsehood, the same as the inside and the outside, is to say: "good words and good faith". "Words are good and trustworthy" means that we must be trustworthy and keep the fundamentals. Be true to your word, be honest and trustworthy, and make a promise. A person is not trusted. It is because his words are not sincere, he is not trustworthy, he is open-minded, and he makes random promises. A person is trustworthy because his words count and he must follow his words, so that he can win everyone's respect and reputation.

Water is the rule, if the master takes the law, in order to "set up and down in the peace". Neither left nor right, impartial, and the most fair for all things. It is called "good governance". "Good governance" means being loyal to one's duties, being able to do things, being able to achieve things, and doing things is always better than saying it. We must be conscientious, competent, and fair. The handling should be fair, selfless in the heart, not favoritism, and no nepotism. in order to get everyone's support.

Water manages everything, and the ability is extraordinary. Decontaminate and wash turbidity, overcome fortification, and sail on a raft. The function of promoting clouds and rain, biological education, and immeasurable function. This is "good work". "To do good" is to do what you can. Do what you can. Mencius said: "Holding Mount Tai to surpass the North Sea is not possible, it is not impossible, and breaking branches for the old man is not for, and it is not impossible." You can't have big eyelids and a small belly, do things that you can't accomplish, and you can't pick up sesame seeds and throw watermelons.

Spring and summer are warm, everything multiplies, and water is needed the most. At this time, the water steames the clouds and rains, moisturizes the masses, cools down and dispels the heat. Autumn and winter are getting colder, all things are hidden, and the water is frozen and condensed into frost and snow, covering the earth, just like the heavenly quilt, protecting living beings and sheltering from the wind and cold. This is the "time to do good." "Timing is a good time" is to grasp the timing reasonably. The right time depends on each person's vision and experience. Some people can do the right thing at the right time, while others always do the wrong thing in the wrong place at the wrong time. People who are wise and can do things tend to change with the situation, take advantage of the trend, seize opportunities, and make decisions. Resting on his laurels, sitting and talking, it is not good to ask for fish in the wood, it is impossible to do things, it cannot be done, and it cannot be done.

Suddenly, in the silent courtyard, a discordant applause rang out. Only then did everyone realize that there was one more person in the Dao, this person was so familiar, it was the person they thought about day and night! Hurriedly knelt down and saluted, and said excitedly: "See Your Highness!"

"Let's get up quickly!" Lin Yi looked at Shandi, Shanyuan and the other seven people, he was just randomly named these people according to the Tao Te Ching, he didn't think about it so much at all, he didn't think that this good time was the head of the analysis, it seems that in addition to their own talent, they have not been lazy in the past year.

"Shanshi is really a man of learning, and he has ten thousand points of pen and ink in his heart. Lin Yi praised. After a pause, he joined them in their discussion of water.

The wise man is happy with water, and the moral scripture has clouds, "The weakness of the world is more than water, and the strong can win, and it is not easy." "There is nothing under heaven that is weaker than water. The water is square in the square, in the circle is round, the red is red, the blue is blue, go high and go down, and go with the flow. It can be described as soft and weak. However, nothing can overcome it with strong strength. The water cuts the pass, breaks the embankment and rushes the dam, pierces the stone and destroys the object, all are indestructible and all-encompassing. Nothing can change this performance of it.

There is also a cloud, "Jiang Hai can be the king of a hundred valleys, and he can be the king of a hundred valleys because of his goodness." "At the lowest place, all rivers return, naturally. Jiang Hai can be the king of a hundred valleys because it is at the bottom.

There are clouds again, "Therefore, soft is better than strong, weak is better than strong, the world knows everything, and nothing can be done." "Water is soft and weak, but it can overcome anything that is strong and strong. However, people all over the world do not know the wonderful use of "weakness", but few people use it to cultivate themselves, govern the country, and do everything.

Mencius said: "The source is mixed, reluctant to give up day and night, Yingke and then enter, let go to the four seas." "It is a metaphor that a gentleman should live in the world like flowing water, and only then can he have a long history.

Xunzi language: "Water moistens all things without merit, along the terrain and twists and turns, the righteousness must follow reason, pouring out the secluded ravines and brave and undoubted, the natural leveling of the container, thousands of twists and turns will flow eastward, and the will will not waver." "Praise water for its virtues such as benevolence, righteousness, common way, bravery, law, justice, discernment, benevolence, and willfulness. This is similar to Lao Jun's "living in a good place, having a good heart, being kind and benevolent, being good at words, good at governance, good at doing things, and good at moving".

Zhuangzi said: "The friendship of gentlemen is as light as water." "The friendship of the relative villain is as sweet as liquor, and the friendship of freshwater can be eternal and long-lasting.

The hexagram of mountains and rivers means that there is a bubbling spring under the high mountain. The mountain spring rushes forward through all obstacles in the mountains, and presents an inexhaustible reserve. This hexagram tells us that on the one hand, we must be as brave as a mountain spring to face all difficulties. On the other hand, we should cultivate our own moral character, so that we can have rich internal information like a mountain spring.

"The avenue is like water - the water is always rushing to the lower places without ceasing, trickling into rivers, lakes and seas, and no matter how many obstacles there are in its path, it will be rounded and swallowed up by it, and its momentum is unstoppable. Isn't the essential attribute of 'overcoming rigidity with softness' vividly expressed by 'water'? The stone that blocks the way is in the middle, but can it hold it back? Doesn't water still flow down from the gaps on both sides? The sea can have such a large capacity because it puts itself at its lowest, so it can accommodate thousands of rivers and hundreds of streams, and then becomes the largest.

This water tells us to lower our posture, be humble, overcome rigidity with softness, and tolerate quantity. However, it should be remembered that when the water is clear, there are no fish, and when people are observed, there are no fugitives. Where there's sunshine, there's shadow. As the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing" said: "One yin and one yang is the Tao" after the sentence - 'the yin and yang are the disease'. From this point of view, this grasps the flexibility of the yin and yang transformation of this water. To yin to yang, is ultimately fragile, just like a person, whether male or female, if you want to be healthy, the yin and yang in the body must be balanced, and the yin and yang of the surrounding environment must also be balanced, and only when you reach the state of 'harmony' can you have the pleasure of body and mind, and the harmony of the environment.

The heart is as calm as water, like a lotus blossom. No matter how the outside world changes, always keep the inner clear, in the face of this reality that cannot be depicted in black and white, with wisdom, with tolerance, cleanse yourself and others, promote yourself and others' purity, even if the right path in the world is the vicissitudes of life, patience give some time, water with its silent precipitation tells us: the most just answer will definitely be presented at some point.

So, like the Great Way, we are no longer just approaching water with our eyes, mouth, ears, nose, and hands, but with our hearts. Experience the beauty of yin and yang of water and the way of yin and yang with your heart. Lin Yi followed up with Shanshi's words and talked eloquently, these are some of the experience condensations of his cultivation in the past year. Everyone was as if they had been enlightened and suddenly enlightened. Lin Yi's cultivation is far superior to theirs, and his understanding of this Tao is even higher than theirs.
