Hua Zhenxing: "Everywhere you go is beautiful."
He only answered four words. This is also a characteristic of Taoism. He needs to use the simplest summary to explain his own practice experience and pursuit.
Think about it to describe it.
Different people may receive different information and have different feelings when they hear it. This is all related to their own knowledge, even ordinary people with no cultivation.
This is also a kind of magical power, which is called voice-hearing wisdom or voice-hearing achievement. To master voice-hearing achievement, one must have at least seven levels of cultivation, but most monks in the seven levels may not be able to master it skillfully. Most of those who really make good use of voice-hearing wisdom are in the nine levels.
Master.
If one speaks without the wisdom of the sravakas, it is not called discussion, but a debate among ordinary people in the world. Hua Zhenxing did not expect the scene here and now, but it was also a kind of chance. Suddenly, he was blessed and understood the sravakas in his heart.
Achievement.
What is beauty? The simplest view of ordinary people is that it usually means good-looking, likeable, comfortable and desirable.
So what is good-looking, likeable, comfortable, and desirable? This is not only to discuss the standards of aesthetics, but also to clarify the inner principles of the so-called aesthetic process.
In ancient times, some people believed that the beauty of things is contained in the infinite and mysterious mathematics, conforms to and contains certain internal laws and rhythms, and is thus reflected in external coordination and moving.
From ancient times to the present, some philosophers believe that "beauty" is an objective existence, existing in the world of ideas, or included in the dialectical cause and effect of the absolute spirit.
No matter whether beauty exists objectively or not, even if it does exist in ideas that transcend specific things, aesthetics itself is still a subjective process, which is the criticism and discovery of objects with each person as the subject.
Many people tend to have a narrow concept of "beauty", mainly understanding it as artistic aesthetics, or even focusing only on visual aesthetics, such as whether a painting, a piece of clothing, a scenery is good-looking, and whether it is beautiful.
This is no wonder, because most of the information received by the human brain comes from the visual senses.
However, the concept of beauty goes far beyond the scope of artistic aesthetics. It is the criticism and discovery of all things in the world, as well as re-criticism and rediscovery.
People use "beauty" to describe almost everything, such as beautiful scenery, delicious food, beautiful colors, beautiful words, virtues, beautiful dreams, beautiful things... and even the beautiful world.
Beauty means good and better. As for what is good and better, that is the question that human civilization needs to answer, and it is also the self-answer that everyone needs in the world.
Do aesthetic standards have class characteristics? Many people are still arguing about this, but there is no need to argue at all. Go for beauty, beauty is the goal, and beauty is the pursuit itself. In a world where class differences actually exist, how can aesthetics not have class characteristics?
The opponents' point of view is often that a landscape is beautiful, an artifact is beautiful, and no matter who looks at it, they will find its beauty... This is the commonality of beauty, otherwise the so-called concept and consensus of beauty will not exist.
But beauty is not only about commonality, aesthetics is also very individual. It is not only a judgment of natural things, but also represents everyone's taste and pursuit. Including everyone's wishes and efforts, dreams and fantasies, that is where they go.
For example, the desire of many people is to achieve class crossing, which makes them easily accept the temptation of consumerism. Creating the illusion of crossing classes subconsciously is almost the internal logic of luxury goods marketing around the world.
Is the end of science theology? Of course not! The end of science, philosophy, including theology, is aesthetics, and they all have to answer the question of where to go. What is the purpose of everything we do, and where do we want to guide the world, even if it is an empty painting?
A big piece of cake.
Such as the beauty of nirvana, the beauty of carefree nature, the beauty of the unity of heaven and man, the beauty of universal unity, and the ultimate beauty of all things!
Hua Zhenxing did not answer what is good or better. He only answered what is beauty?
Go everywhere for beauty. Beauty is our pursuit itself. It is the ultimate goal of all our actions! It is beyond attitudes and methods. All attitudes and methods are for it and exist because of it.
People in the world often talk about "truth", "goodness" and "beauty", but these three are not in parallel relationship. The latter is transcendent from the first two.
"Truth" is attitude and ability, "goodness" is method and path, and "beauty" is both the goal and direction of pursuit. The purpose of "truth" and "goodness" is "beauty".
It is indescribable and real. It is included in the ideal of life, society, the world, and the universe, and is included in conscious or unconscious desires. Even if the ideal cannot be realized, it will always exist.
Hua Zhenxing was taught by three old men since he was a child, not only by words but also by example. They are all top masters in their own way, but their styles are different.
Uncle Mo seemed to be a simple ascetic monk, but did he teach Hua Zhen to practice "hardship"? Of course not!
In fact, he took it upon himself to tell Hua Zhen that suffering itself is meaningless, only the efforts and process of overcoming and changing suffering are meaningful.
If we talk about suffering, the people in Afroport and most of the neighborhoods in Kilili Country have endured enough. It is a hell on earth, and there is no place uglier than that in the world.
If suffering cannot be changed, it will just be endless torture and harm, which will not give people any strength or hope. Only the expectation of overcoming suffering is truly powerful, and this is what Uncle Mo did.
Without the Straw Shoes Gang formed by Uncle Mo, how could there be a new alliance later?
Although Uncle Mo is simple, his pursuit is not about hardship, but teaching people how to overcome and change hardship! Uncle Mo's personal teachings mainly teach Hua Zhen to practice "truth".
Uncle Mo's truth is manifested in his actions.
Uncle Mo's own pursuit is the beauty of simplicity, with a "true" attitude. In fact, his life is very good, and he has reached the state of returning to nature. He taught Hua Zhenxing to pursue beauty through real efforts, rather than praying in fantasy.
It’s just that the vast majority of people in this world simply cannot reach his old man’s level, and cannot and cannot learn.
If what Uncle Mo taught Hua Zhen to do is "truth", then what Master Ke taught Hua Zhen to do is "goodness".
Goodness is the criterion needed between people. Every era has its needs, but the inner logic is the same.
All "order" in the world is based on cognitive conventions of good, such as the public order and good customs advocated and the legal system formulated.
Siluke
The entire governance system of New Zealand was created under the guidance of Confucius.
The two most important functions of order are, firstly, to ensure people's safety, and secondly, to ensure social fairness. Its source is the cognition of "goodness".
The collapse of order will bring chaos and suffering. For example, the former Kingdom of Jili almost copied the entire legal and institutional system of the former sovereign state, but it only remained on the surface and was never really implemented, and it did not have the power to guarantee it.
its execution.
This means that the order has lost its "truth" and thus its "goodness", not to mention the "beauty" that people yearn for.
There is also a situation where the order itself is unreasonable, or becomes no longer fair under certain circumstances and no longer conforms to people's perception of goodness, so it needs to be continuously improved in order to make the results more "beautiful".
As for Old Man Yang, what he taught Hua Zhenxing was probably the most difficult, because he directly pointed to the goal itself, which is "beauty"!
If Old Man Yang is willing to change into a younger look, he must be a handsome man. Even if he is described as a handsome old man now, the "beauty" he taught Hua Zhenxing is not in this aspect.
The life state and taste he shows are the pursuit itself. If someone asks that common question, what kind of person do you want to be? Old Yang doesn't need to answer, he is just showing it!
Old man Yang asked Hua Zhenxing to read recipes as comic books since he was a child. Is it just to cultivate a cook?
When people are hungry, it is enjoyment to be full. Farming and working are certainly hard work, but people's pursuit is to be full and warm. All work is a means, and food and clothing is the goal.
So what happens after eating? People are definitely not satisfied with just eating cassava. They all hope to make the food more delicious, more nutritious, and more enjoyable for the body and mind.
Hua Zhenxing does not regard extravagance as a virtue, but this does not prevent him from making various delicacies with his own hands, even though he himself has the seventh level of cultivation and has long been able to live without food.
This process itself can become a kind of personal taste cultivation, reflecting the attitude towards all things.
Old Man Yang taught Hua Zhenxing the Ancient Essence Technique, and Hua Zhenxing turned it into a nourishing technique. This is about experiencing the beauty of vitality and life, and the pursuit of the beauty of physical and mental states.
What Old Man Yang taught Hua Zhenxing points directly to the source and the goal itself, but it is too idealistic for ordinary people. It can be imagined but extremely difficult to achieve.
Hua Zhenxing was most deeply influenced by Old Man Yang, because he was raised by Old Man Yang and realized that "there is beauty in the place to go". But when he looked at the world he saw, it was obvious that it was so ugly, so he had to find a place to go.
He became an idealist and a pure lover of beauty.
Because of the existence of Uncle Mo and Master Ke, Hua Zhenxing did not become another Yang Tehong. He not only pursued his own change, but also wanted to change the world he lived in so that he could become a better existence.
Huazhenxing is the largest capitalist in the Kingdom of Kilili. He has taken the monopoly characteristics of capital to the extreme and has 100% control over Huanxiang Industry. Especially in Huanxiangt State, every inch of land, every industry, even every plant and tree is in name.
Everything above belongs to him.
This may be the pursuit of some people, taking it as the ultimate beauty, but it is not Hua Zhenxing's pursuit. He does it in the name of Feng Zibin. All of this is just a means to create a world of joy in his vision.
.
Beauty is the inner pursuit of all attitudes, beauty is the ultimate goal of all means, and beauty is the inner destination of everyone, no matter what everyone considers beauty.
This is Hua Zhenxing's answer.
After Hua Zhenxing finished speaking, Cheng Tianle couldn't help but high-five and said: "I heard that there was a wonderful discussion on Taoism at the Zhengyi Sanshan Conference twenty-five years ago.
The last sentence of that question was, 'What is cultivation?'? Mr. Feng asked and answered himself: 'Knowing where you came from, you will go where you came from, and going where you came from, that is cultivation.'
It is a pity that I was still ignorant at that time, had not yet entered the path of spiritual practice, and did not have the opportunity to witness it. Today, Teacher Ding asked, ‘What is beauty?
At this point, he and Wen Xiaoshao looked at each other, and Wen Xiaoshao nodded immediately and said: "In that case, we will help you."
Gao Jianling on the side was a little dumbfounded. He never expected that it would be such a scene. Just like this, Chengtian Lekangli agreed to help without any requirements or conditions.
If there are some requirements, that is, Hua Zhenxing is required to answer questions about the Tao, are all the real masters in the world doing this?
Before coming here, Gao Jianling had made various mental preparations on how to pay for the migration of the tribesmen. Not to mention anything else, the cost of moving 18,000 people to Meng'en Garden was an astronomical figure!
Gao Jianling has gained some wealth in recent years, which is enough for him to live a comfortable life anywhere, but it may not be enough to pay such an expense, not only for travel expenses, but also for settlement expenses!
Therefore, Gao Jianling's original plan was to use the outside world of Fengjin Village as reward.
So before he came, he expressed his position that if this could be accomplished, he would give Fengjin Village to the Wanbian Sect as a separate garden. Fengjin Village was given to the Wanbian Sect, so what would Hua Zhenxing do?
Kunlun monks all knew that Hua Zhenxing was not short of money, and Hua Zhenxing also asked him for remuneration. However, Gao Jianling could not take advantage of this in vain, so he could only think of other ways. For example, he, a Dacheng monk, would work for Yang Yuangu from now on...
…
In fact, this is not a loss. Look at Sima Zhi, his life is much more prosperous now, much more prosperous than that of the village chief. But in any case, this can be regarded as everyone getting what they need, and Huazhenxing is also short of people.
What's more, a great monk.
The reason why Gao Jianling was in a daze was because he was also thinking about Hua Zhenxing's question just now. Going somewhere is beautiful. Isn't what he did to find a better place for his people?
After coming back to his senses, Gao Jianling hurriedly stepped forward to express his thanks, wishing he could bow down on the treetops. Cheng Tianle smiled and waved his hands and said: "Village Chief Gao doesn't have to be so polite. The reason why we are willing to help is because it is a good thing."
.
As for whether you are willing to give Fengjin Village, the secret place outside the prescription, to the Wanbian Sect after the migration is completed, I am not pretentious, and I am very happy to accept it... But this is a story for later, let's discuss how to implement the migration first.
