Chapter 597 The Second Method of "Stability"

"Hahaha……"

"Your Majesty has spoken, I know everything!~"

Shuxian is very happy.

On the one hand, it comes from Hong Kang’s attitude of asking for advice, and on the other hand, Hong Kang sees the most prominent characteristics of Confucianism and Taoism practice methods—increasing wisdom and improving comprehension.

When a person's attributes are improved, no matter what he does, he will be handy, and he will be an elite among the elites in all walks of life.

"Your Majesty should have heard something from Zhuge, that is to start with sincerity."

"However, it is very difficult for a beginner to reach the state of sincerity. Although after getting started, the progress will be rapid, but the level of getting started is the most tormenting."

"Therefore, Zhuge and I split it into several steps."

Hong Kang and Pang Qingyang sat upright.

"Appreciate further details."

The immortal way in the book: "Take spiritual consciousness as an example. Ordinary people have complicated thoughts, scattered energy and spirit, can't control their own thoughts, and their thinking is like a mess..."

"There is no idle time, thinking about things all day and night, and you can't stop. This is called "scattered".

"Ordinary people's life is two kinds of phenomena, scattered or drowsy..."

"When awake, scattered; when asleep, drowsy..."

"It consumes a lot of effort all the time, which leads to the accelerated passage of life and the inability to maintain health."

"Your Majesty should understand the harm to living beings if too much effort is spent!~"

Hong Kang nodded and said, "There's a word called "pain and blood", which means that the exhaustion of painstaking efforts is excessive, and serious cases will endanger one's own life."

The immortal in the book continued: "Therefore, the first key to Confucianism and Taoism practice is to fix your mind and suppress rough thoughts. Once you succeed, this "fixation" effort will be accomplished, which is the "concentration" in Buddhism and Taoism practice. Peace of mind ape."

Hong Kang concluded: "The state of being neither scattered nor drowsy is "settling"."

The immortal way in the book: "But the word "fix" means forcibly suppressing. Once a creature relaxes its vigilance, it will still return to the characteristics of being distracted and thinking like a numb, and it will still be an ordinary person."

"In Buddhism, this is called turning back; in Taoism, it means that it is easier to obtain the Tao than it is to keep it."

Hong Kang and Pang Qingyang immediately understood the meaning.

There is also a corresponding theory in Taoism: Human beings are born into this world, like a rootless tree, drifting with the tide in the vast sea of ​​people. A rootless person is unsteady, wandering all his life, and cannot get great freedom of spirit.

For most people, being unable to settle down means being unable to control oneself.

Some people make up their minds to change the status quo, but the next day their companions yelled and went to play with them again, but they still couldn’t take the first step; Eat; some people clearly know that a relationship is not suitable, but they can't make up their minds and choose to leave...

In life, most people are out of control.

If a person can stay still, his mind will be very awake and his reaction to the outside world will be very quick!

If a person can stand still and control himself, he is actually withdrawing and holding on to the energy he radiates from the outside world, nothing more.

It is not that there is no spiritual practice in Buddhism and Taoism practice. After all, after reaching a high level, any practice method leads to the same goal. For example, Pang Qingyang's sword method also contains the sword intent to destroy the soul.

However, unlike Confucianism and Taoism, it is necessary to work on the "heart" from the beginning.

Moreover, Hong Kang and Pang Qingyang have also read Confucian classics deeply during their careers of about 200 years. This book is a fairy start, like lighting a lamp in the dark night, which can vaguely illuminate the way forward... …

Pang Qingyang was blessed to the heart, his wonderful eyes flashed brightly, and he said in a clear voice:

"Shu Gong, so the next stage is not "quiet"?!"

"There is a saying in "University" that you can be quiet after being calm, and then you can be peaceful after being quiet."

The fairy in the book nodded and said, "That's right, you can be calm after being calm. The ancient sages all worked hard on the word "calm and tranquil." I am also standing on the shoulders of the predecessors."

"If a person can control himself and stay still, then he will naturally calm down..."

"Some people want to read, but they are very impetuous and can't calm down; some people are restless, but it is difficult to adjust their breath. Many people can move, but those who can stay still need concentration!"

"If a person wants to calm down completely, he must first get rid of desires and delusions. Every day when he wakes up, there will always be some voices in his head asking you to do something or think about something. This is delusion..."

"When it's time to get up, you get up; when you have to do something, you pick it up and do it. When you really do it, you don't think about it."

"Cultivate the habit of consistent words and deeds, improve the ability to act, the heart will be peaceful, the soul will be nourished, the energy will be concentrated, the energy will be full, and the soul will enter the great tranquility."

"The characteristic of this time is that after a short sleep, I can sleep very soundly, that is, I can enter a deep sleep. When I wake up, I feel refreshed, and my temperament is like warm jade, giving people the feeling of being glowing."

Hong Kang thought of such things as horse training and eagle cooking.

He said: "People use hard work to forcibly calm their hearts, just like a galloping wild horse. If you tie it and don't let it move, it will calm down as time goes by. Therefore, "settling" means forcibly not moving. "Quietness" means not moving naturally, and the two will make a decision."

The immortal in the book laughed and said, "What your majesty said is exactly."

This kind of feeling that the other party immediately understands and can draw inferences when you mention something by yourself is really wonderful. This is the benefit of discussing the Tao with the right person! ~
"Actually, the state corresponding to the words "settling and tranquility" is something I got from a letter written by a great poet."

"That master said in his handbook: In ancient times, when discussing poetry, there was a difference between scene language and love language. I didn't know all scene words, but they were all love language."

"All scenery language is love language?!" Hong Kang thought for a while, then recalled, "It is from Wang Jing'an's "The Deleted Draft of Cihua in the World."

Shuxian praised: "That's right, the first time I saw it was when I first saw the book city transformed by Jun Shang."

"The dialectical analysis of scene language and love language triggered my inspiration."

"He said that when most people write poems and fus, they stay at the level of "the mind changes with the situation"."

"For example, if it is cloudy and raining continuously, people will feel melancholy and depressed, and the corresponding emotions will be reflected in the words. The mood naturally jumps up."

"At the level of the mind changing with the situation, people cannot be the master. That is to say, the influence of the external environment is greater than one's self-control. Therefore, it is necessary to continue to work hard and be still."

Hong Kang agreed: "It makes sense."

Not only in writing poems and Fu, but also in all aspects of life.

He thought of his first life, just graduated from the ivory tower, looking around at a loss, at a loss, not knowing where the future is for a moment, and finally followed the crowd to find a job as an assistant researcher.

As for people, living in the city, they don’t have to face the loess and their backs to the sky, but they squeeze the bus and subway every day, commute from nine to five, and their mood is crowded, tired, and bored...

When weekends come, he will always stay away from the city, go to deep forests, parks, and lakesides for a walk, climb, and his mind will change with the situation, and suddenly he will be enlightened.

The immortal way in the book: "And those who go to the next level are different."

…………

Silence is not the same as silence.The meaning is profound and the attitude is leisurely and upright, which is called true tranquility.
