To the analogy, and get enlightened, in line with the righteousness, reach the middle
The son said: "not to surrender their will, not humiliate their bodies, Bo Yi, Shou Qi with!" Said: "Liu Xiahui, Shao Lian, drop the will to humiliate the body is carried out, the words in the Lun, line in the consideration, it's just like that." Said: "Yu Zhong, Yi Yi, seclusion and release speech, body in the clear, abolition of the right. I, on the other hand, am different from them, and there is nothing I cannot do." The Analects of Confucius - Weizi
Ruan Xuanzi (Xiu) have order to hear, the lieutenant Wang Yifu (Diffractive) to see and asked: "the old, Chuang and the holy teachings of the same difference?" The answer was: "Will there be no similarity? The lieutenant good his words, opened for the puisne. The world called "three language puisne". Zhuangzi said: "know useless and can start with the words with carry on. Heaven and earth is not not wide and big also (1), people used to accommodate the ear. However, the toilet foot and pad (2), to the Yellow Springs (3), people still have use?" Huizi said: "useless." Zhuangzi said: "then the useless for use is also clear."
The three examples tell us: with the negative method is easier to avoid, to affirm the method of expression of the limitations of things, more with the benefit of the Dharma door to receive, quite with the meaning of Zen wit, which is a major feature of Chinese culture.
Another characteristic of Chinese culture is the use of metaphor, hints - Feng Youlan said: "Metaphor rich in hints, rather than clear and unambiguous, is the ideal of all Chinese art, poetry, painting, and everything else." It is true that Guo Xiang was supposed to be one of the great exegetes of the Chuang Tzu, who turned the similes and metaphors of the Chuang Tzu into reasoning and argument, and translated the language of the Chuang Tzu poems into the language of his own prose. A Zen Buddhist later said, "I once saw Guo Xiang annotating Zhuangzi, and those who knew it said, But it was Zhuangzi who annotated Guo Xiang." (The Discourses of Zen Master Dahui Pujue)
The Lama Sutra, "The Buddha said to Ananda, "The Buddha is telling you today, in truth, that all those who are wise should use analogies to achieve enlightenment." The Buddha's scriptures are so rounded, exactly, really can not find a better language to express this feeling, the only scripture to understand the scriptures can be superior, our Taoism, Confucianism can be said to be the same way.
Moving a house
The teacher was sharing his feelings about moving recently: First, there are too many trivial things to do in moving, which is distressing; second, there is a rich collection of books, and I am afraid that I will lose my treasured belongings, which is quite like moving up and down the house, and not seeing a bucket of grains; and third, in the new home, all the original habits have to be rebuilt and re-adapted in the process of breaking down. I have a very rich experience of moving, and I do feel the same way, but the wisdom of the teacher to combine this with his own realization of the Buddha's study has brought me a new vision.
Being born is the incredible process of being born again, free from the bondage of past bad karma. When the current karmic body ends and a new karmic body is born, it is called rebirth in the world of the new karmic body.
On second thought, it turns out that rebirth is also the process of breaking down and rebuilding from an old world; it is also the process of letting go of what one holds and embracing a new harvest; and it is also the process of turning boredom into joy! It is not birth, it is not death, and it is not death, but it is the name of birth and death for the sake of convenience!
Fear of heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, ghosts and gods
"Dai Dai Li Ji - Zeng Zi Tian Yuan" in the sentence: "Yang's essence is said to be God.
Confucius in the "Department of Rhetoric upload" said that "the essence of things, traveling souls for the change, is to know the situation of the ghosts and gods", visible ghosts and gods do exist.
This is the first time that I've ever seen a person who has been in the world for a long time, and I've never seen a person who has not been in the world for a long time. Fear of heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, ghosts and gods, and the wonders of nature is to respect oneself;
You look at ghosts like ghosts, ghosts look at you like ghosts; you look at gorillas like gorillas, gorillas look at you like gorillas. How does that sound? Therefore, our worldview should be adjustable, which is in line with the "heaven and earth have great beauty but do not say, the four seasons have a clear law but do not discuss, all things have a reason but do not say. The first thing I'd like to say is that I don't want to be a part of it.
With a sense of reverence, each has its own place, and each has its own life.
Dumas' rosary
Alexandre Dumas, the famous French writer, said, "Life is a rosary made up of a string of countless small worries, and optimistic people are always smiling as they finish counting this string of rosaries." Its long novel "The Count of Monte Cristo" is quite religious.
Now that I think about it, it is wonderful to be optimistic and thankful, to remember the Buddha, to think of the Buddha, and to think of the Buddha in the same way!
Habits, instincts, and intention
A deep, long-term practice, what to practice, and what to practice: positive habits, molding the right intention, instinctive response, and the ultimate happiness!
The first thing you need to do is to go to the next level of life, and you'll be able to do that!
The first experience of the ear root, forever for the Taoist seed
In the Middle Kingdom, there is a passage: "Since the sincere Ming, called the nature; since the Ming sincere, called the teachings. The first thing you need to do is to get a good understanding of the situation, and the second thing you need to do is to get a good understanding of the situation. ...... Secondly to the song, the song can have sincere. Sincerity is shape, shape is written, written is bright, bright is moving, moving is changing, changing is transforming. Only the most sincere in the world can be transformed." I think this is the best dharma that the "Middle Kingdom" shares with us:
I. Since sincerity and Ming -- genius;
II. Since Ming and sincerity -- people who are good at learning;
III. Qu can have sincerity
As soon as the teacher talked about "the root of the ear, always for the Taoist seed", I was reminded of "since the Ming Ming". The various studies in life, copying the scriptures or not, according to the classics or not. The only thing I want to do is to find that one sentence: once you hear, experience, and see it, you can't help yourself, hold it tightly, and never give it up for the rest of your life. I think there is no more apt expression of this feeling than the "one experience of the ear root, forever for the Taoist seed".
So, the boss has to rely on others to give confidence, this kind of person is not suitable for boss. The boss spends his life fiddling with these business models, big data, management - nothing more than to make his customers, investors, employees have confidence only. How can we mere mortals not play around in it?
