Text/Chang Junshan
Governing the world in accordance with the "Tao" can be done to peace and stability, and the war horses can be returned to the fields for the farmers to use to cultivate the fields.
Governing the world is not in accordance with the "Tao", and even the pregnant mare must be sent to the battlefield and give birth to a foal on the outskirts of the battlefield.
The greatest evil is dissatisfaction, and the greatest fault is the desire for greed.
People who know what time period to satisfy are always satisfied.
Virtue is the evolution of the Tao, and no Tao is no Virtue, that is, personal desires are too heavy, and deviation from Virtue causes deviation from Virtue. The occurrence of war is caused by man, the occurrence of conflict is caused by material contention, reducing people's desires can reduce all kinds of disputes if they understand enough, and when they are in harmony, they will make the best use of things, increase the cycle of use of things, and let all things live in harmony.
When the word is sharp, it is an invisible knife, too much emphasis on profit will accelerate the deterioration of the relationship between things, people will think of how to quickly profit, it is easy to take shortcuts, ignore the growth of things need to go through the process, will work the results of the art, and forget to find the root of the problem in the root. This is caused by the influence of a long-term wrong value, material and spiritual who is in charge, this is what we have to think about solving, why some people, who have a lot of materials, but still feel empty in their hearts, is caused by the lack of inner spirit. When we find the root of things from within, we will not ask for them from the outside, because material desires will always be unsatisfied. Confucius rarely talked about profit, only about fate and benevolence. Seeing profit and forgetting righteousness will violate the law of the development of things, reduce the idea of material desires, and let go of all kinds of obsessions in life, there will not be so many troubles, and the body and mind can be healthy.
Everything on the outside is a usage relationship. Everything we have is not ours, it is just a right to use, even our body, our family is a use relationship, they are not ours, we cannot possess them, control them. All this will eventually return to nature, when leaving the world can not take anything away, the final competition is peace of mind, there is a nobler soul, we always want to have a lot, account for a lot, only then can there be a sense of security, that is, we have an obsession caused. When we think about these things, we will not suffer from gains and losses, and we will let go of a lot. Leave a spiritual inheritance to our descendants and let them truly grow from the heart.
Contentment is the greatest blessing. Everyone actually has a lot, put your eyes on what you have, don't look at what you don't have. Cherish what you already have, it is already very good to manage them better, so that the near one is happy and the far one comes, then the accumulation will be more and more, and when it is not satisfied, it will enlarge the missing part, and it will always be dissatisfied. Transforming from material pursuits to spiritual pursuits will put more spirit and spirit in a truly valuable place, then the things seen will be different, the cognition will be different, and the ideas will change.
