Reshaping life starting from the Junior Class of HKUST

Chapter 58 Wu Zhe on Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism
"Hey, I really don't know, there are so many people named Wu Zhe here!" Professor Yuan said with a smile.

Lao Yuan had taught countless students, and he knew what was going on just by looking at the scene.

"Okay, let's all sit down! Some people really miss my first class! Let's put the questions on it first. Let's see what the monitor of Class 1 of the Junior College is doing." Professor Yuan finished speaking He picked up his mobile phone and dialed Wu Zhe's number on the roster.

Yuan Wenshu was not angry at all, he has encountered many strange things in his life of teaching.It's just that I'm a little curious. After all, skipping the first class and being the freshman class monitor of the Junior College is a bit outrageous.

The phone was on speakerphone, and hung up after two beeps.Professor Yuan continued to dial.

After dialing more than a dozen numbers, the phone was finally connected, and a ghostly voice came out from inside: "Who is it? I'm fine, hang up, class is on!"

"Wu Zhe, what class do you take, I remember you should take my calculus?" Yuan Wenshu said into the phone.

After waiting for a few seconds, he heard the other side of the phone say: "Teacher Yuan! I'm here in the class of Academician Qiu from the Department of Archeology? After class..."

Before Wu Zhe finished speaking, he heard Professor Yuan's mobile phone: "Yes, it is the classmate talking softly into the mobile phone. Tell me about your understanding of Taoism and Buddhism."

Then there was a busy tone of "beep~beep~" from the phone.

Because the hands-free is turned on and the microphone is amplified, all the students can hear clearly.

Is this the boss?Buddha and Tao, what is this? Aren't we a university of science and technology?Is it because mathematics is not good or physics is not attractive.As soon as you are academic, you don't study science and go to study theology.

Professor Yuan is also fooled, it's fine if he doesn't come to the lectures, why did he go to listen to those nonsense things.No, this should be taken seriously!It is not one or two who are crazy about mathematics and physics.

That math genius Liu Zhiyu from Peking University is still working as a monk in the temple?Don't have one from your own university.Thinking of this, I didn't even think about going to class.

Tell everyone, I will write a few more questions on it, and everyone will take it home and do it as homework.Give it to me before next class.

After finishing speaking, I ignored the students who were already discussing in a low voice, turned around and started to ask questions on the blackboard behind.

When a good question comes out, it is just the end of the class.

After Professor Yuan called the get out of class to end, he went out to discuss Wu Zhe's matter with the leader of the Junior College.
-
Turn back to Wu Zhe.After Wu Zhe and Wang Chao separated in the morning, they came to the North Campus of HKUST alone.This class is an open class, and because it is a lecture given by an academician, quite a few people came.Wu Zhe came late.You must know that there is a strange phenomenon in university classes, that is, those who come early sit at the back, and those who come late sit at the front.

Wu Zhe basically had no room to choose when he entered the classroom, only the first two rows had seats, so he didn't care.It's not here to fish, it doesn't matter where you sit.

After academician Qiu came in, he went straight to the topic and wrote on the blackboard: Taoism, Taoism; Buddhism, Buddhism.

Then began to preach:

"Today we are going to talk about the two largest religious sects, Taoism and Buddhism. First of all, we need to understand what is Tao and what is Buddha. Everyone may have different understandings. Let me talk about my views.

Lao Tzu once said, Dao can be Tao, but it is very Tao; name can be named, but it is very famous.No, it is called the beginning of heaven and earth.Yes, the mother of all things.It can be seen from this that Lao Tzu raised a philosophical question.Things have their own form, and their form has their name.However, Laozi pointed out that besides what can be named ("Ke Dao Dao"), there is also a "metaphysical" existence beyond the image.This "metaphysical" existence is the origin of all things in the phenomenal world, and it is called "Tao". "Looked at the blank eyes of the students below.

Then he said: "Many people may not understand it, so I will explain it in plain language. This is to explain the "Tao" in two dimensions. First, the main unit of the universe. This is a monistic philosophy. ;Secondly, Tao is the subject of "contrary theory", "yin and yang poles", "eternal cycle", "relativity" and "ontology"; Tao is the wisdom, the return to one, and the source of all things. Brings unity and spirituality. So it encompasses all."

Looking at the bottom is still confused, Academician Qiu didn't explain any more, and continued: "Since then, Taoism has an ideological program, and Zhuangzi and Liezi want to extend this kind of thinking.
-
Since then, Taoism among hundreds of schools has developed into the Huang-Lao theory.
-
It evolved into the later Taoism. Let's talk about the formation and development of Zhengyijiao and Maoshan Taoism.
-
From this we can also see that Taoism is definitely not Taoism.

From the "Tao" in philosophy, it finally developed into the exploration of qi, one, heaven, and mystery. To put it bluntly, the study of philosophy has changed to the study of biology, chemistry, physics and astronomy.This is the earliest researcher in mathematics, physics and chemistry.

After talking about Taoism and Taoism, let's look at Buddhism.

Buddhism originated in ancient India and was founded by Sakyamuni.Here is a digression.Laozi of Taoism, Sakyamuni of Buddhism, and Confucius of Confucianism were all born in the fifth century BC, and basically put forward their theories or morality in the same period.This cannot but be said to be a coincidence.

Let's get down to business, the so-called Buddha in ancient India was "enlightened", which means an enlightened person. The introduction of Buddha from India to my country can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty of the Han Dynasty, when it was called Buddha religion.

Here, Academician Qiu was speaking vigorously, and Wu Zhe listened with great interest. Although he knew a lot, he had never sorted out the knowledge in a general framework.And the students below don't care if they understand it or not, anyway, they feel that they are very tall.These are completely blind spots of knowledge, and you can talk about it in the future to bluff people.

At this time, Wu Zhe's cell phone rang, but luckily it was on vibration.Wu Zhe looked at an unknown phone number and pressed it.Then it continued to ring, and more than ten calls came in a row.

Now Wu Zhe couldn't hold back anymore, he was afraid of something urgent.Taking advantage of Academician Qiu's turn to write on the blackboard, he secretly picked it up, and there was also a speech about why he was so spooky.Just as he was about to explain to Professor Yuan, Academician Qiu turned around and saw Wu Zhe answering the phone, it was too close.

"This classmate, yes, is the classmate who answered the phone. Come talk about your understanding of Buddhism and Taoism." Academician Qiu said in a very flat tone.

"MMP, misfortunes never come singly!" Wu Zhe cursed inwardly.

Wu Zhe quickly hung up the phone and stood up and said, "I'm sorry, the teacher at Academician Qiu's college called me more than a dozen times."

"Oh, why did you find me?" Academician Qiu asked casually.Now Wu Zhe didn't know how to answer.

Finally, he answered honestly: "I skipped class!"

"Heh. That would be my honor. Let me tell you about the question I just asked! The answer is good. I'll talk to your college." Academician Qiu said with a smile.

"Well, I'll just talk about my own understanding. You always criticize and correct me if I'm wrong. In my opinion, Taoism cultivates nature, Buddhism cultivates mind, and Confucianism cultivates." Wu Zhe glanced at Professor Qiu after finishing speaking.

Hehe, even Confucianism was brought in, academician Qiu also showed interest, and motioned Wu Zhe to continue with his eyes.

　I thought it was easy to write, but I found out after checking the information.To be clear, this could be a paper.
