Yuanhui Taode: Why do you feel sad after reading the Tao Te Ching? Rare! I really read it with my heart
It shows that it is related to the Tao Te Ching, and you really read it with your heart!
If you don't read it carefully, if you don't read it with your heart, if it is a way of reading it, you won't have such a strong physical and mental feeling after reading it.
Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" is a very unusual work, a very great classic of Sinology and culture. So far, according to UNESCO statistics, the Book of Tao Te Ching is the most widely translated and published cultural masterpiece in foreign languages except for the Western "Provincial (To Avoid Failure to Pass the Examination), Taking Homophones".
Some people read books without seeking much understanding, and turning it over is like drinking a glass of boiled water, without feelings, let alone gaining anything. This way of reading is okay as a pastime, and if you want to have some gains, this way of reading is not recommended by Yuanhui.
This question was also raised by a classmate. He said that after reading the Tao Te Ching, he felt very sad in his heart. It is very rare for people to be able to turn the pages of books and to be able to read the classics of traditional Chinese culture. This student has read the entire "Tao Te Ching" is very difficult, but also very rare. Yuanhui is here to give this classmate a thumbs up and a thumbs up.
According to Yuanhui's understanding over the years, many people will get a strong feeling after reading some books. For example, sadness, touching, joy, happiness, shock and so on. If it does not affect daily life, these are relatively normal phenomena. This kind of phenomenon usually occurs after listening to some music, or after watching a movie. Because modern people read less books. Maybe this kind of phenomenon will be more likely to occur after listening to a certain music, or watching a certain movie or TV series.
Why is this happening? To a large extent, the viewer, the reader, and the thing that is being expressed in the book, in the music, or in the movie, resonates. Or it could be called empathy. After reading books, watching movies, and listening to music, I have some empathy, even something that touches the soul.
It is more common for some people to be moved to tears when listening to certain music or hearing a certain melody. These may be when watching movies, TV series, by a certain sensational touching clip, moved to tears. This is probably a similar situation to feeling very sad after reading a book, or feeling very happy.
After reading the Tao Te Ching, this classmate felt very sad. However, after reading the Tao Te Ching, some people will feel like they have been reborn, and they feel that life is suddenly enlightened. There are also some people who, after reading the Tao Te Ching, will feel that they have gained a very high perspective, seeing everything in the world as if they are looking down from the roof, very open and clear, and the world is so perfect.
In the same book, different people get different feelings. Of course, there are also some people who have read it and feel that it is boring and cannot understand what is said inside. Like the metaphor at the beginning, it's like drinking a glass of boiled water. This is also a very common phenomenon. If the Book of Tao Te Ching, or any other book, can give you a very powerful feeling. Yuanhui suggested that we must pay attention to this thing and make good use of it to gain wisdom from it.
