Nanhua ancestors said to be "heartened", how can our hearts do the "vegetarian" work?
Zhuang Zi's "South China Sutra" recorded a story: Wei Guojun is an autocratic man, and Yan Hui hopes to persuade him to become a benefactor, so he asked his teacher Confucius how to persuade the Wei Guo King, Confucius first asked Yan Hui what he planned to do, and Yan Hui said to hold on. Confucius shook his head and pointed out that the words often said were used in sacrifice, not in the true sense of fasting.
A true enabler can be heart-pressed. When asked about the heart, Confucius replied, "If you want to, you will not listen to it, you will not listen to it, but your heart will not listen to it. Listening to the ear, heart to the sign. Those who are angry, and those who are false. The only way to gather. False, and heartless. the " " "
There is a view that the heart practice is a kind of understanding of the emptiness of mind, beyond the pursuit of fame and fortune, good, evil, beauty and ugliness, and the body's physical resistance to many desires, and the heart's mental and spiritual resistance to many desires.
Ordinary people have the desire to ask for more, to ask for greater, and Taoism practice is to ask for less and less. In Taoism's mind, it is believed that the Tao does not want to be mixed, there is more to be multiple, more to be disturbed, more to be disturbed, worry, and not to be saved. This means that people will cause infinite troubles because of the many and complex desires that rise in their hearts. If the troubles cannot be solved, they will fall into a dangerous situation and cannot be
Song Su Wei's "Five people in the South Boat Rafting City are giving poetry to everyone with bitterness" wrote in the second: "Bitter passion is true to know everywhere, why should you sit in danger and learn your heart." the " " "
From this, it can be seen that heart is not a spiritual pursuit that we simply understand, but a method that we need to sit in danger and practice.
From this answer of Confucius, in fact, can reverse the concept of "heart" and the way of realization, Confucius proposed that the heart is a lie, the virtual is the expression of the state of harmony, the virtual is the expression of the spirit, the vain is the heart, and the vain is the
Zhiqiao said: "The heart is in the heart and the heart is in the heart." As long as you can be humble, you can put the way in your arms, do the way of being humble, it is in the way of being humble, it is in the way of saying, "This is the true difficulty of understanding the heart."
Let's analyze it sentence by sentence:
First of all, the grandpa mentioned "if a will".
"If" is what you mean, here is Confucius speaking to face back, pointing out: If you have to be able to maintain a thought, a thought, a mind should be transferred, don't have many distractions to disturb your mind. If distractions always exist, the heart is full of all kinds of thoughts and thoughts, you can't do nothing.
Therefore, the first step of the virtual is to clear the excess thoughts with "one will", and finally leave a quiet thought.
Second, "not listening, but listening, but listening, "nothing" means don't. After doing the skills of quiet thinking, we have to turn to the Kung Fu of "hearing" here, there is no doubt that "hearing" here is not using the ear to listen to, not to hear all kinds of sounds, (all kinds of sounds are distractions, has been cleared in the first step), but to borrow the concept of listening to the voice of the ear to express the state of listening with heart and heart, your own performance in the state of quiet thinking
That is to say, to explore your own way, at this time, listen to the sound of Heaven (the southern Chinese ancestors said heaven, earth, and human beings, do you know what these three shades mean? the BIG )
Third, we just listen and feel what the Tao is, it is far from enough. Since we talk about practice, we need to find a method that can take the initiative to join the path, find a method that has guiding meaning and how to do it. The father said, "No one is listening, but he is angry." Qi is the source of power and fundamental law of the operation of things.
"Hear with breath", when listening and observing is no longer our own perception, but a way of operation of an objective being, because our mind is conscious, an expression of subjective consciousness.
True humbleness does not require us to do anything subjectively, can respond anytime, anywhere, and give the due response as external things develop (but not a response with subjective judgement).
Only if you can truly do this is in line with the requirements of the random saints mentioned in Tao doctrine, is the practice of "always be quiet, always quiet" mentioned in the scriptures.
Taoism practice speaks two words: one is a response, is a response to things in accordance with the objective and regular response of things; the other is true, that is, no matter what kind of things should be, you must keep your own true constant.
What is happening outside is true, we can only deal with each other with the empty and clear sincerity, can we be able to treat each other honestly without hurting each other, Confucius let face back to heart, essentially to let him break his own obsession and return to the level of the road to see the problem.
To illustrate this point more effectively, South China Real also gives an interesting story:
There was a craftsman who was very good at carving, and he carved people exactly like real people. The king looked at it and asked him: How can it be carved like that? The craftsman replied: "When I start engraving, I must keep the fence first, and after three days, I will not think "Celebrate the Lord". After five days of guarding the fence, I dare not think of "unreputable". Seven days later, I forgot that I had five senses.
Only when he forgets everything outside can he do what he does. The true South Chinese people summed up in the chapter of the "Getting away" with a sentence, that is, "The world's reputation is not exhorted, the world's right is not discouraged If the eight winds can't blow, you can sit in the purple and golden lotus.
Qing Yi Wing has a "year-old little poem" that reads: "I dare to talk about things in the world when you go back and talk about things in the world, and the " " "
The heart is our attitude of converting to the Taoist Master's treasure, and it is also the truth that we practitioners want to maintain, so today's heart, have you done it?
