Liang Shuming once used cockfighting as a metaphor to express the highest state of life cultivation - as a chicken. In this complex world, everyone is constantly seeking harmony between themselves and the world, and this kind of "dumbfounded" life cultivation is undoubtedly a profound and unique way.
The idiom "stunned" comes from the "Zhuangzi Dasheng Chapter", which was originally used to describe a person's appearance due to fear or surprise. However, Liang Shuming's "dumbfounded" is not the real **, but refers to maintaining a calm and restrained attitude in the complicated world.
This kind of "dumbfounded" way of life cultivation can help us maintain inner peace in life. In the bustling world, people are often confused by all kinds of distractions and forget the true nature of their hearts. And the real cultivation of life is to maintain inner peace in the midst of these disturbances, and to look at life in the most simple way.
In these rapidly changing times, there is one phenomenon that is painful – those who are keen to jump. They are always busy with all kinds of social activities, pursuing the superficial prosperity and liveliness. They take pleasure in flaunting their achievements and wealth, pursuing vanity and superficial recognition.
However, this phenomenon of jumping is worthy of criticism. They tend to ignore inner cultivation and growth, and only focus on superficial splendor and vanity. They lack deep thinking and inner precipitation, and only blindly pursue short-term happiness and satisfaction. They are like noisy sparrows, jumping on the branches of life, but they can never touch true happiness and wisdom.
Instead, we should pursue that kind of "dumbfounded" state. When facing the challenges in life, we should maintain inner peace and calm, and look at problems in the most unpretentious way. We should pay attention to the cultivation and growth of our hearts, and constantly improve our cognition and wisdom.
Let's learn Xi spirit of cockfighting and face every challenge in life in a "dumbfounded" way. In every battle, we are learning and Xi and growing. And this kind of "dumbfounded" way of life cultivation will also help us go further and more steadily on the road of life.
