"Tianzong emphasizes the birth of the world. Everything in heaven and earth operates under the Tao. Compared with the eternal Tao, human's purposeful behavior is so small that it almost does not exist. Selflessness and emotion are in line with the Tao of Heaven.
The human sect pursues joining the world, and all things follow the rules of Tao. Human beings are observing the way of heaven and following the path of heaven. Lu Zi's article "Life in the World" is like an enlightenment, allowing me to see the opportunity for reconciliation between the two sects of heaven and man."
Qingxu took a deep breath, Zhongping's peaceful face was filled with enthusiasm and hope, and the previous sadness was swept away.
Lu Yan was also curious about what the other party had realized after listening to his words, and how his realm had improved. So he asked, "How to reconcile the two sects of heaven and man? I would like to hear the details."
"Laozi said: Without leaving home, one can know the world; without peeking through the door, one can see the way of heaven. The one who goes out is far away, and the one who knows is little. Therefore, the sage knows without doing, understands without doing, and achieves without doing. I think Lu Zi is thousands of people
I won’t agree with that.”
Lu Yan nodded.
Those who understand the Great Way can deduce the principles of the world without leaving the door; they can understand the laws of nature without looking out of the window. The farther people run outwards, the less principles they know.
Therefore, a sage can infer things without traveling, understand the "Way of Heaven" without prying, and achieve something without doing anything rashly.
He always insisted that knowledge and state of mind were acquired by people's practice in the world. Such people who can understand the Tao without leaving home are simply "born saints". Lu Yan doesn't believe it anyway.
"Human beings are the product of Tao. That's why Tianzong realized the way to forget oneself and merge with Tao. He lay high on the mountain gate, abandoned the world, and tried to know the world without leaving home, and to see the way of heaven without peeking into the window. Tianzong was just like what Lu Zi said
It is said that there is no operable epistemology. It seems to be a lofty realm, but in fact it is also divorced from all sentient beings in the world.
For example, if a person in a room wants to know the room, Tianzong's method is to meditate quietly and integrate the spirit with the room, and then he will get to know him naturally; while Lu Zi's method is that people use their own
Measure it with your body, observe it with your eyes, feel it with your limbs, and finally understand it.
The former is undoubtedly irrelevant to ordinary people, and even most Taoist disciples are ignorant of it; the latter can be effective for most people."
"Sir's metaphor is quite clever." Lu Yan pursed his lips and smiled.
This day, someone in Tianzong finally understood his hard work.
Tianzong pays attention to rebirth. You are lofty and lofty, so there is no problem in itself. But you, Bei Mingzi, grabbed me and accused me that my doctrine will make people's hearts more depraved. What does this mean? Can you keep people's hearts from depravity, or can you keep people fed?
Rice, or eliminate war?
This kind of thinking of Tianzong is of great help to the human spirit, especially in the society of later generations where materialism is rampant and people are alienated by foreign objects. However, it cannot help most people understand the world and change the world through practice.
"When Lu Zi's theory of humanity was established, my great-uncle became a heaven and man in an instant. In my humble opinion, after many years, my great-uncle has now reached the third stage of the unity of nature and man. Looking at all things in the world objectively and rationally,
Positive but not blind, calm but not indifferent. I once asked him for advice, and now I think back on the feeling he gave me, that is harmony.
The dichotomy between subject and object proposed in "Life in the World" is not only the bridge of understanding that Lu Ziyou has built for human beings and the living world, but also a guidepost for my Taoist school of heaven and man to reach the same destination through different paths.
Qingxu hopes to record today's conversation between you and me in Xinzhai, so that future Taoist disciples can use it as a reference when they read "Life in the World". I also ask for Lu Zi's permission."
Lu Yan was shocked by Qingxu's words. He didn't even dare to think that his theory could promote the reconciliation of the two sects of heaven and man. But Qingxu was deeply inspired by Qingxu, and he might even be able to do it if he improves his cultivation.
arrive.
Naturally, he has no objection, but the Taoist family may not.
"Record into the heart? Can Master Beiming and Head Chisong really agree?"
Qingxu was stunned for a moment when he was asked. He frowned and thought for a while, and finally shook his head and said: "Faced with the differences between the two sects of Heaven and Man, the Patriarch established the method of discussing swords between Heaven and Man to reflect each other. In the following hundreds of years, the two
The insights of the ancestors of the sect have always been stored in one place in their hearts and never kept in separate books.
I think the Patriarch hopes that our descendants can continue to develop their doctrines through the collision of ideas, rather than resting on their laurels due to sectarian disputes. Grandmaster Beiming would never do such a short-sighted move."
Lu Yan was noncommittal and changed the topic and asked, "Mr. Qingxu, do you know that Qin State established a school?"
"Of course I've heard about it."
"When the world is unified, I would like to invite knowledgeable people from hundreds of schools of thought to settle in the school. I wonder if you, sir, would be interested?"
"Settling in the school? Just like the Jixia Academy back then, where scholars from all over the world gathered to give lectures and debate?"
"In general, it's not bad. I even thought about it well. The place where hundreds of schools of thought live, the four characters "Let a Hundred Flowers Bloom" are inscribed on it; and the school building where students are taught is named Baige Zhengliu."
Lu Yan spoke, his eyes shining with fiery light.
"Zhuang Zi said: My life has a limit, but my knowledge has no limit. The short life of human beings is only a hundred years. Facing the universe of hundreds of millions of years, if the human race wants to develop, it depends on passing on knowledge and developing it from generation to generation.
I hope that the various schools of medicine, doctors, musicians, and craftsmen can pass on any knowledge that is useful to mankind. There will be no limit to the number of generations to come. Just like a foolish old man moving a mountain, it is like passing firewood from generation to generation."
"A hundred flowers are blooming, and a hundred teams are vying for the throne... There is no limit to the number of descendants. The Foolish Old Man moves the mountains, and the fire is passed down from generation to generation..." Qingxu looked at Lu Yan at this time, and the shock in his heart was beyond words.
Confucianism said that geniuses are rare for thousands of years. I originally thought it was an exaggeration, but now I see that genius is no longer enough to describe. If there are still saints in this world, there is no one other than Lu Yan.
He took a deep breath to calm his shaking heart, and promised: "Lu Zi invited me, and Qingxu will definitely be worthy of my invitation. However, I know that my realm is not enough at this time. I will travel around the world in my own body and experience the world in person before I go to Qin to keep the appointment."
.”
Lu Yan was in a good mood. He pointed to the front of the cliff and said, "You can hear the mist under the night sky of Taiyi Mountain. I am making tea in Xianyang and waiting for you, sir."
Qingxu looked where he pointed, and as he was familiar with Taiyi Mountain, when he saw the density of the mist, he was shocked to realize that a long time had passed.
"As soon as I talked to Lu Zi, I didn't realize that time passed by. I still need to take care of Uncle Xiaomeng, so I left first."
"She has been secretly cared for by Mr.?"
"Yes, Lu Zi has questions."
Lu Yan rubbed his chin and coughed, "What about that? I'm just curious about the relationship between Ayan and Xiaomeng..."
Qingxu pursed her lips and said in a gentle voice: "Uncle Xiaomeng's only peer here is Lu Zi, his niece. She often goes to the back mountain to practice swordsmanship. During the day, she practices Wanchuan
Qiu Shui immediately ran to the back mountain.
Although Master Xiaomeng’s past is unknown, she is obsessed with stronger power, which may not be good for her. Only when she competes with Master Ji Yan does she look like a girl."
It's really hard for you, both girls are your uncles...
Lu Yan carefully recalled Xiaomeng's various reactions, nodded and said, "I see, I probably understand. Thank you sir for telling me."
