Finally, on the basis of Zhou Dunyi's "Tai Ji Tu" and "I Ching" "Comprehensive Hexagram" model system, from the two directions and perspectives of "Tao" and "All Things", Lao Tzu's specific process and evolution path of "Tao gives birth to one, life to two, two to three, and three to all things" and "Man Law Earth, Earth Law Heaven, Heaven Law Tao, Tao Law Nature", and solved the problem of "easy to solve the old, to solve the old with the old" in a new form of diagrams. What about the main ideology and theoretical system of "Zhuzi Hundred Schools"? The answer is yes.
From the different perspectives of Tao and all things, we will comprehensively look at the evolution of the Taiji Diagram.
Let's take "Shangshu Da Yu Mo" in "".People's hearts are in danger, and the heart of the Tao is small; But the essence is the only one, and it is allowed to be stubbornFor example, he tries to make a new interpretation and interpretation of the commonality between them.
As early as in "Shangshu Da Yu Mo", the ancients put forward that "people's hearts are only in danger, and the Taoist heart is only small; The approximate meaning of the "sixteen-character heart biography" of "only the essence is the only one, and the Tao is subtle in the heart; We must sincerely maintain the only way of the only essence, do not change, do not change our ideals and goals, and finally make people's hearts and Tao hearts in harmony, and act in the middle.
People's hearts are in danger, and the heart of the Tao is small; But the essence is the only one, and it is allowed to be stubborn
To put it bluntly, the meaning of this sentence is to talk about the question of how to unify the "human heart" with the "Taoist heart", and what are the characteristics of the human heart? There is only one word, danger. Unified with "people's hearts are in danger" as a whole, that is to say, people's hearts are restless, we must be extremely vigilant, one thought of heaven and one thought of hell, so on the whole it is "people's hearts are in danger".
In fact, this is the same as Lao Tzu said: "When the sergeant hears the Tao, he acts diligently; When the sergeant heard this, if he survived, he died; When the corporal heard this, he laughed. Not laughing is not enough. The principle is the same, because of the different levels of understanding and level of each person, in the process of "human law of the earth, earth law of heaven, heaven law of the Tao, Tao law of nature", that is, in the process of seeking the unity of "human heart" and "Tao heart", there will inevitably be three completely different results as Lao Tzu said:
When the sergeant heard the word, he acted diligently; When the sergeant heard this, if he survived, he died; When the corporal heard this, he laughed.
The so-called "seeing the essence through the phenomenon", only through the "false appearance" that all things have, and seeing this eternal and unchanging essence, can we "see the nature of the heart" like "the sergeant hears the Tao and acts diligently", and then "the unity of knowledge and action leads to conscience", "only the essence is the only one, and the essence is allowed to cling to the middle", this is the "saint" who achieves the unity of the "human heart" and the "Taoist heart", so the so-called "Taoist heart" can also be called the "saint's heart".
However, "saints do not often exist, but Si people are always there", so this kind of "sergeant hears the sermon and acts diligently" is very small and rare, and more is "the sergeant hears the sergeant, if he survives, he will die; When the corporal heard this, he laughed loudly, because they are all obsessed with the "false appearance" that all things have, and their hearts are also restless, so it is said that "people's hearts are in danger", and what they do in this situation is naturally full of uncertainty and danger.
What are the characteristics of the Dao heart? Or one word, micro. First, because the best way and result of obtaining "the sergeant hears the Tao and acts diligently" is a very rare phenomenon, and second, because the "Dao" is implicit in the "false appearance" that all things have, so the "Dao Heart" is as "small and inward" as the "chaotic and infinite, selfless and selfless" as shown in the figure below.
The heart is the principle of "infinity", and the mind sees the nature of "infinity".
When we use the human heart to pursue the Tao in the way of "the sergeant hears the Tao and acts diligently", the human heart also becomes the Tao heart, and Confucius talked about the mean, the middle of the time, and the neutralization, the undeveloped joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness are the middle of the middle, and the middle of the verse is the sum of the middle. What is the so-called "China" in Chinese? In fact, it is the "chaotic and selfless" in the center of the picture above. Lao Tzu said, "Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law, and the Tao is the nature", and Yang Ming said: "The heart does not move, but moves randomly."
What is the realm of "Tao Law Nature" and "This mind does not move, but moves randomly"? Therefore, this returns to the question of how to follow the basic path of "human law and earth, earth law and heaven, heaven law and Tao, and Tao law and nature", and finally achieve unity with the "Dao heart".
Therefore, from the perspective of the ultimate level and dimension of "Tao", from the perspective of the cosmic cycle system of the Tao Te Ching, the "human heart" and "Taoist heart" in the sentence "The human heart is only in danger, the Taoist heart is only subtle, but the essence is the only one, and the "human heart" in the sentence "Allowing the Perseverance" is also relative to the "human heart" of different levels and "Taoism". The "human heart" of "the sergeant's hearing the Tao and acting diligently" and "seeing the nature with a clear mind, without good or evil" is naturally the "Tao heart" of "subtlety", and it is natural that in the process of "unity of knowledge and action", "only the essence is the only one, and the perseverance is allowed".
And for "the sergeant hears the word, if he survives, he dies; When the corporal heard this, the "human heart" of "laughing" is naturally the "human heart" of "only danger", and there is a thick layer of "false appearance" on it, so that it is impossible to see the essence through the phenomenon, and it is even more impossible to "only be the only essence and allow the middle to be persistent" when doing things. Therefore, Shenxiu suggested that in the early stage of cultivation, we should "always wipe diligently, so as not to cause dust", and Lao Tzu also advised those who are Taoists to "lose their Tao".
This means that it is a warning to us that in order to truly learn and practice the Tao, we must start from negation, step by step to reduce the delusion of separation of "all things are different", remove the superficial prejudices, attachments, and mistakes layer by layer, and penetrate into the deep layers of the mysteries. Only by reducing knowledge, desire, and doing can we see the great "Tao". Otherwise, the "human heart" will be "dusted" by clinging to the delusion of separation that "all things are different."
For the sake of learning day by day, for the day of the road, always wipe diligently, do not make dust.
Therefore, standing at the ultimate level and dimension of "Tao", from the overall perspective of the cosmic circulation system of the Tao Te Ching, Shenxiu: "Always wipe diligently, don't make dust", Lao Tzu said: "For the Tao is lost"; Mencius said: "Human nature is inherently good", Xunzi said: "Human nature is inherently evil"; Lao Tzu said: "When the sergeant hears the Tao, he acts diligently", "The saint is impermanent, and he takes the heart of the people as his heart." I am good for those who are good, I am good for those who are not good, and I am good for virtue"; Buddhism says that "the mind sees the nature, the sex is the same, and the evil of others is not seen"; Huineng said: "There is nothing originally, where is the dust"; Wang Yangming said: "There is no goodness and no disgusting" and so on, there is no problem, this is the natural appearance of the "human heart" in the different levels and dimensions of "Tao, heaven, earth, and man", and it is also the natural process of its gradual leap from "the heart of the human heart is in danger" to "the heart of the Tao is subtle".
for the loss of the road; Always wipe diligently, don't make dust.
The reason for this is just like the correlation between the front and back revealed by the cosmic cycle system of the Tao Te Ching, the process of "human law and earth, earth law and heaven, heaven law and Tao, and Tao law nature" in the early stage is the premise and foundation of "ruling by inaction" in the process of "Tao gives birth to one, life to two, two to three, and three to all things". The cultivation process of the "Human Law Dao" in the early stage, just like the process and function of "heart is reason" in Yangming Xinxue, is the foundation and premise of "the unity of knowledge and action, leading to conscience" in the future, and is indispensable.
Things have a beginning and an end, and knowing the order is the shortest way.
Therefore, it is said in the "University": ".Things have a beginning and an end, and knowing the order is the shortest way. ”。In fact, these truths are all in the same vein and have the same origin.
