I spent 99% of my time to understand, the thoughts of the Hundred Families of the Qin Dynasty, and then I used 1% to complete it. When I was three and a half years old, I began to think about what I could rely on in the future, and at the age of four, I decided to paint for a lifetime. The Diamond Sutra took exactly 44 hours from translation to drafting and completion, and there was no sleep for 44 consecutive hours.
Confucius mencius talked about interpersonal relations, leaders and subordinates, husbands and wives, harmony between people, and harmony between Taoists and nature. Zen people are in harmony with their own experience.
Confucius: Loyalty and forgiveness, true understanding: loyal kings and subjects, fathers and sons, any role play is appropriate, all do it to the highest good, forgiveness, we get along with others as if we were hearted, empathetic thinking, encounter a thing you stand in your position want to think that he is not right, you want to stand on his position, you will feel that he is justified in doing so.
Taoist thinkers learn from heaven and earth, learn from nature, learn from water, and dwell in the evil of man, and then not in merit. The water hits the obstacle, it does not leave to go to both sides, the water you give it a round cup, it is round, the square cup is square, the reason why the sea is so big, because it is low, the lower it will be, the lower it will be, so the higher our status, the lower the body, now it is upside down, the body is a little high, the body is very tall, the status is a little high, this is not right.
Zen thought is in harmony with the experience, we do not have to exchange anything for anything in our lifetime, if you do something to say that you do something very hard, in exchange for what benefit, without this thing, when in your life do you change the moment of retirement? We are usually wrong concepts, hard work is to study is to get the college entrance examination, study hard to get a diploma, get a diploma is to go to a good company interview passed, go to a good company hard work is to earn money for status, get status money is to be able to retire, no, in fact, it is all the time, your life is any moment to add up, so in the present, you can think of everything is that there should be no self, an enlightened Zen master who really has to be fully integrated with the heart, he has no self, So it will not be used in the self to judge the good or bad of the situation in front of you, because you will have a difference in your mind, and then it will cause joy and sorrow, so the whole Zen Buddhism and Buddhism is to make a person's heart unpretentious, so the calm "bamboo shadow sweeps the street dust", your heart should be like the dust on the ladder, and the moon will pass through the bottom of the pool without a trace. Your mind should be like the surface of the lake, and it will not fluctuate because the moon's shadow passes through, so that you are truly enlightened.
Therefore, I usually understand the whole thing first, and then use a very simple comic to draw it, like Zhuangzi said that the fish forgets the basket, the rabbit forgets the hoof, the proud forgets the words, and what really wants is the intention, not the words. Lao Tzu speaks very little, his behavior is my model, he hardly interacts with people. He did not say that he wanted to write a book about his wisdom to make a name for himself, and he retired and rode a green bull to Hangu Pass alone. I was asked to write the Tao Te Ching. Shen Kuo is the person with the highest IQ in the whole of Chinese history, what is the advantage of reading ancient books, you can get Nobel, Tu Youyou has read all the ancient books, reading books is the highest return on investment, spending twenty or thirty yuan to buy a copy of the "South China True Classic" can get the wisdom of Zhuangzi's life, Taoist thought and Confucianism each affect one-half of China, so I advise to read more books, an era is over, the only thing that will stay is culture, a person who dies will stay is also culture, history only records culture, the only thing that will be left is culture.
