Holographic analysis of Wang Yangming's "Transmission and Practice"

Neutralize and Dongliang

Wang Yangming's philosophical height, so far no one has reached, no one has surpassed?

The development of ancient Chinese and traditional philosophy, after thousands of years, reached a new height that was unprecedented in Wang Yangming--a new peak of thought at its peak. He proposed a series of new ideas: nothing outside the mind, no reason outside the mind. To the knowledge, to the conscience. Unity of knowledge and action. Now with the famous study case "Nanzhen Guanhua" as the introduction, the outline of the core secrets of Wang's psychology.

One day, Wang Yangming went out on an outing with a group of disciples and friends. On the way, a friend asked, Teacher Wang, you have been telling us that "there is nothing outside the heart." You look at this rocky flower tree, it opens and falls on its own, what does it have to do with us? How can it be said that there is nothing outside the heart?

Teacher Wang said that in the future, this tree cannot be seen, and "this flower" and "your heart" return to silence; when "your heart" sees "this flower", the color of the flower is understood for a while. You see if the flower is in your heart, that is, there is no flower outside your heart.

The story is not complicated, and Wang Yangming's explanation is also very simple. However, it was difficult for many scholars. It's hard to understand!

What Wang Yangming calls "nothing outside the heart" is a brilliant philosophical realm:

(i) The "heart" of each of us is a "holographic fragment" of the "heart" of the entire universe.

Just like "a holographic fragment" on the holographic bottom plate, it is possible to present the things photographed by the "whole holographic bottom plate" almost indiscriminately (slightly blurred).

The "heart" of the universe is a complete holographic bottom plate. The "heart" of each of us is a fragment of a "holographic bottom plate". The holographic base plate, the heart of the universe, is the most mirror; and the holographic bottom plate fragment can also present the universe.

(ii) The heart of the universe encompasses everything; "my heart" is the "heart of the universe"; my heart is the universe.

The heart of the universe, like the moon. Everyone's heart is like the moon in the Yellow River of the Yangtze River and Dongting Lake in Poyang Lake. Every moon contains information about the whole universe.

Why is heaven and man one? Very informative. But the most important of these is that any one mind is responsible for the whole universe. For the state of the universe is realized by "your mind." So-called: All things, created by the ideal. Phases are born from the heart, and circumstances are born from the heart.

(3) There is nothing outside the heart, and there is no reason outside the heart.

The universe is in the heart, generally like the dark night, all things, like a light bulb with a weak electric current, almost faintly luminous.

Suddenly, a tree of flowers broke into the window of the mind, and the "heart" gathered and generated the energy of concern: for a moment, the color of the flower was understood in the heart. It's like having a "light bulb" in your mind, and the current suddenly rises and brightens.

My mind is the universe. Life is empty, the body and mind are empty and silent, and the spirit is transparent. Outside the "mirror of the heart," there is not a single thing; in the "mind," the "Tao" and "reason" of all things are all seen.

The so-called "unity of knowledge and action" is not understood by ordinary people: "You know, you have to do it." Such an understanding is too superficial!

(1) Before "cognition", it is necessary to "act".

If you don't know the journey before, how can you know the future. Therefore, if you don't know, you must also act bravely, and then you know. This is a situation of "unity of knowledge and action".

(2) After "cognition", it is necessary to: "cultivate after enlightenment" - continuous action.

Before practice, even if there is some "cognition", it is superficial knowledge. Once you have some "deeper" understanding after action, you must continue to act and adjust while acting.

(3) Knowledge and action are one, and knowledge is action.

Cognition is the action of the "mind and brain holographic embryo" part of the "body and mind" - cognition is "action". Mechanical repetition alone is a kind of "laziness" - the inactivity of the mind and brain!

The exploratory, experimental action of "doing for the sake of knowing" is itself: action—the "cognitive action." This is a situation of "unity of knowledge and action".

(iv) Action is true knowledge.

To know, to know but not to act, is to not know. Even if you don't know, you can act tentatively.

"Knowing" after doing is, generally speaking, much more alive and rich than the knowledge before the trip. Therefore, action is the real "cognition", deepening cognition while acting. Do not be reckless and sloppy, we must always pursue self-transcendence.

Knowing is action, and action is the real "cognition". The so-called "unity of knowledge and action" means that knowing is acting, that is, doing is knowing.

To conscience is to "zhi zhi of lattice objects", which is Wang Yangming's interpretation. To get rid of the delusions of "non-object" and "irrationality" in the mind, so that the body and mind return to "understanding" and purity, this is the kung fu of the grid. The lattice is: seek inward. Eliminate the "unclean" and non-moderate in life.

To the conscience is to mobilize the conscience and conscience in the life of the body and mind! Therefore, there is Wang Yangming's "Four Sentences teaching":

A body without goodness and without disgust,...... Righteousness

There are good and malicious movements. ...... sincerity

Knowing good and knowing evil is conscience,...... Greetings

Removing evil for good is a matter of ,...... Lattice.

realize. Don't dwell on it.
