"Senior revealed to me his words about Tianzun's views on beauty, ugliness, good and evil, which also shocked me greatly.
I remember what he said: The door to all wonderful things is known to everyone in the world. Everyone knows what is beautiful and what is bad; what is good is not good and what is good is gone. What surprised me here is that the predecessors included the Tao Te Ching in Chapter 1.
The last sentence in the chapter, "The Door to All Wonders," was placed at the beginning of this paragraph. I don't know why. This sentence is equally shocking. But the meaning of this paragraph was not stingy that day, and the senior explained it to me.
A little bit, I will also tell my descendants here. The senior said that there are two key words to understand in this sentence: 4' and 'has'. He explained that '矣7' means '了'
Meaning, it expresses the perfect tense; 'has' means later, after some time has passed, and deceased means that it has been understood later. In short, the meaning of this sentence is probably that 'the secret door of all things is open to everyone in the world.
. Whether everyone's actions are beautiful or evil, everyone will know immediately after the action is over, and whether everyone's actions are good or bad will not be known until everyone wakes up after the action is over.' Simply put, it is to explain a
'Beauty and ugliness are easy to distinguish, good and evil are difficult to discern'
That's the truth. Although I still have reservations about his sentence, I can really understand this kind of words, and it really speaks to my heart. No matter how many things there are, I admire my senior on this point.
The senior asked me that day, do you still remember the Three Treasures of Tianzun (that is, Lao Tzu's honorific title)? I am very familiar with this, and I also do things according to Tianzun's Three Treasures, so I can forget it. I said it casually: 'I
There are three treasures, hold on to them and protect them:
One day you are kind, two days you are frugal, and three days you dare not be the first in the world. Kindness makes you brave, frugality makes you broad, and you do not dare to be the first in the world, so you become a leader.'
The senior said: 'Let me correct you, you can compare it yourself and see which one is easier to use.' As soon as I heard that he was going to correct me, I immediately became energetic, thinking that he would not make another shocking statement this time. Sure enough,
It seems that every time the seniors say something that is not shocking, he doesn't say it.
"I have three treasures, hold on to them: one day is kind, two days is frugal, and three days is incompetent. I dare to be the first in the world, because I am kind, I can be brave, and because I am frugal, I can be broad. I don't dare to be the first in the world, so I can become a leader."
The senior also told me that among the three treasures of Tianzun, the third one he valued most was the third.
There was another conversation. I would like to thank my senior. His message played a vital role in re-understanding Tianzun's famous saying. My favorite famous saying of Tianzun is: 'Misfortune is where blessings depend, and blessings are misfortunes.
In the past, I liked it very much, but I didn’t understand it deeply. This time, under the guidance of my senior, I came to my senses. I would like to thank my senior for the following words:
Its government is dull, but its people are honest; its government is scrupulous, but its people are deficient. Misfortune lies on the back of blessing, and blessing lies on the misfortune. Who knows its extreme, but it has nothing. What is right and right is amazing, and what is good is good.
It turns into a monster again; people's confusion lasts for a long time. Therefore, a saint is square but not cutting, honest but not prudent; straight but not unbridled, bright but not dazzling.
Perhaps future generations will ask, why do you want to thank your predecessors? These are the original words of Tianzun. Perhaps careful future generations will find that there is a change in this sentence. Please look at the original qualitative words:
Its government is boring, but its people are honest; its government is scrupulous, but its people are deficient. Misfortune lies on the back of blessing, and blessing lies on the misfortune. Who knows its extreme, and it has no righteousness. It is strange to restore righteousness, and it is good to restore it.
To be a demon: Man's confusion lasts for a long time. Therefore, a sage is square but not cutting, honest but not prudent; straight but not unbridled, bright but not dazzling.
The words of the predecessors who changed, "Who knows that it is extremely unrighteous, and it is nothing. The righteous will become strange again, and the good will become a monster again; 7 traditional preaching words. Who knows that it is extremely unrighteous, the righteous will become strange again, and the good will become a monster again;" This time The reason why I am not surprised is that the words of my predecessors naturally made me think of a very old saying: "The truth is a fallacy if it is one step further." And the principle of "too much is not enough"... The meaning of "zhengzheng" shows that "zhengzheng" means "zhengzheng" means "zhengzheng". Okay, but no matter how righteous it is, it may not be a good thing.' This also just reveals the conclusion that 'misfortune lies on the back of good fortune, and good fortune lies on the back of misfortune.'"
The senior said, "Li Ao, you may not understand the four words 'Sage everywhere'. Then try to put it together with another uncontroversial sentence Tianzun said, and maybe you will understand something." .'It's easy to maintain when it's stable, easy to plan when it's not there; it's fragile when it's broken, and when it's small it's easy to scatter. It's when it's not there yet, and it's when it's not in chaos.' There is no controversy in this sentence. What Tianzun said here is: to make it more stable. If there is no existence, the cure is in the chaos of the past, so are the beginning of the existence and the chaos of the past both not yet happened? Is this the nickname of 'no'?" Slowly, I gradually understood something, although I still don't fully understand it. .But I am not in a hurry. It will still take some time before I can understand the way of heaven.
During the sixth exchange, the senior tried to explain to me the meaning of "Tao, generates one and one", but after listening to it, I still didn't understand. The senior told me that "Tao generates one" conveys the message to people that Tao only generates one. One, one after another, gives birth to two. This is a one-sided understanding. And the message "Tao, gives birth to one, one" conveys to people is that Tao generates one after another. The message to be conveyed here is that each one is born of Tao. are equal.
"Tao gives birth to one, gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things." It is a single-line generation, while "Tao, gives birth to one-one, gives birth to two-two, gives birth to three-three, and gives birth to all things." It is a double-line generation. This self It's the first time I heard it.
In the seventh meeting, the senior has removed a roadblock for me to read the Tao Te Ching. I am very happy. I have always been a little disgusted with the stupid policy advocated by the tribe of Tianzun. What is wrong with what the Tao Te Ching teaches people? It is unworthy to ask people to be stupid. If the entire Han people have become stupid, how can the country develop? This time when I met with my senior, I raised this question directly to him, deliberately making things difficult for him. I I would like to see what he has to say. This time, the senior said, "You raised this question very well. To be honest, I don't like the word stupid very much. To put it bluntly, everyone wants to be a smart person. Who wants to be a stupid person?" People. Since ancient times, there have been countless people who have interpreted the Tao Te Ching, but now there are still many interpreters singing praises for the stupid word "Tianzun". This is actually misleading. I think Tianzun is also very disgusted with this stupidity." This is just right. I have the same idea, but it's very confusing to me. I only know that Tianzun is against wisdom, but I have never heard that Tianzun is also against stupidity. Isn't this the senior who is fooling people?
I heard from the next words that the senior was not fooling people. He said, "Although Tianzun is also disgusted with the word "foolish", he also advocates the idea of 'if you don't use it to enlighten the people, you will make them stupid', just like King Goujian of Yue who ate his courage by lying on the firewood. King Goujian of Yue knew it clearly. The bitterness of bile has to be tasted every day, and what is experienced is the will. Tianzun's proposition that "if you don't understand the people, you will make them stupid" is exactly the reason why Tianzun exceeds ordinary people's wisdom. Tianzun wants to remind people and make them understand their own stupidity. A place where we can think and learn, and gain wisdom by awakening from stupidity. Tianzun’s idea is that Taoists should do the opposite. Tianzun understands that to get a good result, we must deal with its opposite, that is, by dealing with bad things. Getting good results does not mean that Tianzun praises bad things and opposes good things. This concept is something that we must correct when we understand Tianzun's thoughts. I nodded repeatedly when I said this.
In the end, what my senior told me was, "The Tao can be Tao but not Tao, but it is always Tao; its name can be Tao, but it is not Tao, but it is always named." This is the senior's summary of his views, and it is also the general outline of the Tao Te Ching written by Yaozun that he discovered.
It is the so-called unfavorable weather, unfavorable land, disharmony between people, and unfaithful words. Now is not the time to reveal some key issues.
I tell the younger generations: Don’t be infatuated with your elders, they are just legends of the future; don’t try to accuse anything, I am just responsible for my younger generation, Li Ao!
If this story makes you realize something, I hope you will think more and think more; if this story inspires you, I hope you will think about it more often; if this story disrupts your thinking, then you don’t have to read anymore!
The world is like this, just as Tianzun said: when a superior man hears the Tao, he practices it diligently; when a middle man hears the Tao, he lives or perishes; when a junior man hears the Tao, he laughs. Not laughing is not enough to practice the Tao. Tell the younger generations that the predecessors can use it.
His analysis method is exactly the theory of the Book of Changes. This is what he told me personally, and he once showed me his diagram of the Book of Changes. But it is definitely not what we call the Book of Changes. Although the Book of Changes is the Book of Changes, we know that in ancient China,
Legend has it that there are Lanzhou Yi Jing, namely Lian San Yi (also known as Lianshan Yi), Guizang Yi and Zhou Yi. The I Ching picture shown to me by my senior, he called it the Heavenly Book, and claimed to be the earliest Yi Jing that had been lost for a long time.
The Book of Changes I... Lian Sanyi. As for whether he meant Lian Sanyi, I don't know, but I saw it, and I couldn't understand it at first. After he said it, I felt that there was something more to what he said.
The truth, it seems, is really the same thing. What this heavenly book gives me is that to say it is complex is extremely complicated, and to say it is simple is extremely simple. It can be said to be as big as the sky, or as small as the point. In fact, he said
The Book of Heaven, it can truly be called the Book of Heaven. There is not a single word in it, it is all dotted circles and horizontal lines. When I looked at it yesterday, it was densely packed. After being pointed out, the patterns suddenly became apparent. The senior also told me that he understood it.
Tianzun Tao Te Ching is the instruction manual for his heavenly book. I don’t believe this.
But I still saw some clues.
Tell the younger generations, you have not seen his so-called heavenly book (I call it the heavenly map). If you have seen it, you will slowly understand the principles of his sentence fragmentation. Because from his heavenly book,
It can be seen at a glance. The Tao gives rise to one, one, two, two, three and three, and the law of all things. Moreover, the whole sky map is "attached to the yin and embracing the yang, and the energy is in harmony."
The feeling is so obvious that even a three-year-old child can see it. There is no need to spend a long time summarizing it from the Book of Changes, and in the end you have to wonder whether your result is like this."
