Answer a few questions first.
Previous articleThe comment area was praised, some people doubted, and some people suspected that I was enchanted...
These two main issues are described below.
1, clear-mindedness cannot be said by oneself.
People who think this way only know one and don't know the other. Who confirmed Wang Yangming's enlightenment in Longchang? Didn't he say for himself that his disciples could know?
2, clear mind is very simple.
This can only be said to be very simple, 1 million people read the Bible, can have a view is not bad.
3. Clear-sightedness can read the Lotus Sutra.
wrong. Discernment is only a dividing line.
Without clear insight, one cannot understand the Lotus Sutra, and a clear mind does not guarantee that one will not be able to read the Lotus Sutra.
For me, the mind can enter the holy realm, and the body is still in mortal dust.
Seeing that the confusion has been broken, the confusion is not yet gone.
4, about the "Brief Interpretation of Lao Tzu".
If you haven't read the Tao Te Ching more than 10 times, don't read my book first, you can't see what's good.
First read the popular works of Xie Lao on the market, especially the works of Internet celebrity professors, and then read "Lao Tzu's Slight Interpretation".
If you have read more than 3 works that interpret the Tao Te Ching, and then turn to the "Outline of Lao Tzu", you will know where it is good.
Of course, if you can still pick out a few less obvious problems, you are a master.
Have I pursued insight before?
No.
Very clear.
What to pursue, first you have to understand how to define it. Or there are similarities in real life.
Whether it is the chairman of a fairly public company, or want to be a mayor, a professor, or a saint. There are definitions.
Wang Yangming wanted to be a saint, he could only have a relatively vague feeling at that time, and as his experience increased, he regarded Confucius as a saint.
I just like to read philosophy. I read a lot of philosophical books, I didn't read them deeply, but I found that Western philosophy was not complete.
To interject here, the ideas of the Western philosopher Hume have given me great enlightenment.
It is not the inevitability of Western philosophy.
This is determined by the way Xi Zhe writes.
Xi Zhe is not exactly that reading Zhongzhe.
Zhongzhe also read a few, but it is certainly not a rich five cars.
Read "Zhou Yi" 50 times, good, really good. But deep, really deep. After learning about Shao Yong's method of reading Zhou Yi, I was afraid that I would not live to see the bottom of the day, so I gave up.
Read the "Book of Transmissions" several times and feel good.
Read the Altar Sutra twice and feel good.
But exactly where it is good, I can't say.
Reading the Diamond Sutra several times, it feels mysterious, but it is also interesting.
Later, in 2012, I met Wang Meng's "Lao Tzu's Help".
And then it's out of control.
I really appreciate Mr. Wang Meng.
When I read his "Lao Tzu's Help", I felt good, but I also felt that it was not complete. But I felt for the Tao Te Ching, so I kept buying it and reading it.
I really experienced how to read the book thickly, then read the book thin, and then how to read the book without feeling.
At a certain moment, it was suddenly enlightened.
For me, clear-sightedness is only due to interest, and before that, I never thought that clear-sightedness and self-awareness can be related.
In fact, Wang Yangming did not pursue clear-mindedness, and by his time, there were no people around him who had clear-sightedness, and of course he himself did not know what it meant to have clear-sightedness.
He just wanted to be a saint, but he didn't know how to become a saint.
He didn't know that his words and deeds met the basic requirements of the saints, so he was on the road to sanctification.
When he arrived at the Dragon Field, his cultivation was revealed.
I can't sleep in the middle of the night, and I often think, "What is the way for the saints to be here?"
One day, I suddenly realized the purpose of the "University" grid object.
He did not say the specific details, because he also seemed to wake up when he was not awake.
Three preparations
1, life experience.
There are very few people who have no life experience or whose life experience is relatively shallow and can be understood. Hui can be counted as one.
There are two theories about the enlightenment of the three zen monks, one is enlightened at the age of 14, the other is enlightened at the age of 40, and I believe in the second.
2, literature and history common sense.
Through the study of the Tao Te Ching, we must have common sense of literature and history.
In chapter 76 of Lao Tzu's Brief Explanation, I talked about why Wang Bi, Duke Heshang, Yan Zun, Tang Xuanzong, and Master Shan shan misunderstood that a strong soldier was invincible.
Without basic knowledge of literature and history, the understanding of the way to use soldiers will fall into a misunderstanding.
3. Familiarize yourself with the Scriptures.
If no one clicks on it and realizes it on his own, he must read a book of scripture.
But don't scribble.
For example, if you have read the Heart Sutra 10,000 times, it is estimated that enlightenment is also very difficult.
The Diamond Sutra is the same, and it is not suitable for ordinary people to read, because there are only a few words repeated there.
Some words are not transparent at all, and if you put time in a place where you can't understand at all, it will be very troublesome.
Wang Yang Mingge bamboo is not the right method, so it is useless to be sick.
Reading a scripture well does not mean that you can move the gods and immortals when you read it well. Instead, you should refer to it after you have read it.
The way of the saints, I am self-sufficient.
How do you find that sex?
Why did the saints say that?
Personally, I think it is more suitable for most Chinese there are two books that have been enlightened through self-study, one is the Tao Te Ching and the other is the Tantra Sutra.
There are too many words in these two books.
The conversation is the proposition.
The tao te ching begins with 4 big talks in chapter 1.
The Tantra has a case study, and each case is a big talk.
The head of the talk is to knock the egg.
A single sentence will lead to a small slit. - It's just that we didn't feel it at the time.
After a long time, the egg cracks.
Sloppy eyes
To what extent do the above three preparations have to be prepared to be OK?
I can only be sloppy in this question:
Vary.
In 2013, I have graduated from university for 13 years with a bachelor's degree and a master's degree for 6 years, failed to start a business twice, and married and had a daughter.
After graduating from college, I read 50 books a year and 650 books in 13 years.
I was originally a liberal arts student, so I still knew a little about basic common sense.
Someone asked me what books I had read?
That's a good question.
Next, I would like to share with you the ten books that have had the greatest impact on me.
The world is not colorful, but we look at it with colorful eyes.
