Chapter 58
One day later, Beijing time, ten o'clock in the evening.

After work was over, Jiang Baizhi hurried back to her residence, and finally turned on the tablet before ten o'clock, and it was Su Ye on the screen.

Zhao Wanning, who had been following, was a little speechless, "Jiang Jiang, you came back in such a hurry, I thought you were tired and in a hurry to take a rest, and you really want to start a video with Professor Su."

"Silly girl, look carefully, Professor Su is giving lectures at Cambridge University."

Zhao Wanning took a closer look, and then looked confused, "Professor Su speaks English?"

"Lectures to foreign students in Cambridge must be in English."

Zhao Wanning stuck out her tongue, "I don't understand the world of a top student, so please leave! Would you like me to make you a fruit salad, you haven't had dinner yet."

"It's okay, don't worry about me. There are cucumbers in the refrigerator, I'll just eat a cucumber later."

"Then I won't disturb your alternative date with Professor Su."

Jiang Baizhi didn't care about Zhao Wanning's jokes at all. At this moment, all her mind was on Su Ye.As Zhao Wanning said, Su Ye was giving a lecture in English.Her English level is actually good, but Su Ye will involve a lot of nouns, and she will not understand if she doesn't listen carefully.

Yes, she understands English.

And at this moment, Cambridge University, London time at two o'clock in the afternoon.

Su Ye was talking on the podium, "Western philosophy originated in ancient Greece. In ancient Greece, Protagoras proposed that 'man is the measure of all things'. Obviously this is subjective idealism, and then Socrates improved it. He said "Thinking people are the measure of all things." In the far east, a sage named Wang Yangming put forward "my heart is the universe." In the history of Eastern and Western philosophy, there are striking similarities."

Xin Yi nodded frequently in the audience, he was very satisfied with Su Ye's lecture.Only Su Ye studied at Cambridge and was proficient in the history of Eastern and Western philosophy at the same time, so that he could come up with all kinds of allusions at his fingertips, compare and contrast Eastern and Western philosophical thoughts, and be able to re-deconstruct and draw new meanings.

But at the same time, he also had some toothaches, and the young people really wanted to come out.At this moment, he has a mobile phone in his arms, yes, he is Jiang Baizhi's tool person who can see this class.

But it's also sweet
Su Ye's class went smoothly. This is certainly because of his rich accumulation, and more importantly, he has made enough preparations before class.Soon the course came to an end, and this public class was coming to an end.

"Through the above comparison, we found that the thinking directions of the sages on philosophy are surprisingly similar. When we are studying, another problem we encounter is that the predecessors seem to have thought about all the problems. But for the course of philosophy Say, no. What philosophy discusses may be fixed, unlike the history of knowledge, which is cumulative and evolutionary. But we need to discuss its changes and meanings in different contexts and in different social environments. Philosophy, never goes out of date !"

The audience suddenly burst into warm applause, which was an affirmation of Su Ye's knowledge and also because of the encouragement of Su Ye's last words.

Su Ye bowed slightly, "Thank you for your applause. Next is the time for free questions. Students who have questions can raise their hands."

"Professor Su, first of all welcome you back to Cambridge. I have the honor to watch the movie "The Great Master" directed by Wong Kar-wai. I am very interested in the triple realm described in it, seeing yourself, seeing the world, and seeing all beings. You are proficient in Eastern and Western philosophy. , if you want to interpret it with Western philosophy, how would you interpret it?"

Su Ye looked at the classmate who asked the question. He was obviously a foreigner with blond hair and blue eyes. He couldn't help but smiled and said, "You can watch movies directed by Wong Kar Wai, which means you have good taste."

There was laughter in the classroom, and some Huaxia students were even more proud.

"Before answering your question, please allow me to diverge a little bit. Of course, it is also my selfishness. I hope everyone can learn more about oriental culture. In China, the triple realm is a very interesting proposition, and it has been applied in many places. .

For example, in scholarship, we also have triple realms.The first level: last night the westerly wind withered the green trees, went up to the tall building alone, and looked at the end of the world, which means that if you want to achieve a career, you must have a goal.The second level: the belt is getting wider and wider, and you will not regret it, and you will be haggard because of Yixiao. It means that if you want to study, you must work hard and forget to eat and sleep.The third level: I searched for him thousands of times in the crowd, and suddenly I looked back, but the man was in a dimly lit place, which means that you must concentrate and repeatedly pursue and study knowledge in order to gain something.

Another example is life. The Zen master Qingyuan Xingsi proposed a three-level state. The first level: see mountains as mountains, and see water as water.The second level: looking at mountains is not mountains, looking at water is not water, it refers to the world of mortals, everything is like looking at flowers in a fog, and we can't tell the real from the fake, we have to experience this world with our hearts.The third level: Mountains are still mountains, and water is still water, which means a return to nature after insight into the world.

Even with drinking, we have a triple state.The first level: call friends, drink and eat, and mess up the cups and plates.The second level: Three or five friends, two or three small dishes, chatting.The third level: Drink alone under the moonlight, drink with moonlight, and form three people in the shadow. "

Speaking of this, Su Ye paused for a moment, and the audience immediately burst into applause, especially the Huaxia students who were most excited. This is a culture they are familiar with, but they may not be able to say it, but Su Ye can!

Su Ye pressed his hand and signaled everyone to calm down, "The topic has diverged a bit, let's go back to the topic that classmate just mentioned. In this era, we all have more or less existential anxiety. Existentialism tells us that only our freedom Only the will can define oneself, and only oneself can define oneself, this is called seeing oneself! Human beings are born with sins, religious theology tells us that there must be judgment after death, there is a kingdom of God in heaven, and hell on earth, this is called seeing heaven and earth! Humanism, respect for human rights, Pay attention to the sufferings of the people, pursue freedom and justice, this is called seeing all sentient beings!"

The audience once again burst into applause, which could not be subdued for a long time.At this moment, Jiang Baizhi in front of the screen is not much better, her face is flushed, she is excited for Su Ye!This is Cambridge University, and the applause below is enough to show how good Su Ye is!

Finally, when the applause subsided, another female student stood up and asked, "Professor Su, your speech just now was really wonderful. Just now you also mentioned that there are triple realms in many aspects of China. If you let you clarify the triple realm in love Boundary, how would you set it up?"

Su Ye just thought for a while, "I'll use the three realms of seeing myself, seeing the world, and seeing all beings as a division explanation. Zen Buddhism says that all conditioned things are like dew, like electricity, like dreams and bubbles. But you will understand, She is the only true Dharma, which is called seeing yourself! The most favored disciple of the Buddha, Ananda, fell in love with a woman. The Buddha said that it is impossible for you and this woman to be together. Ananda said that he would like to be transformed into a stone bridge. 500 years of rain, 500 years of sunshine, just another encounter. Heaven and earth are ruthless, and they want to go against the sky. This is called seeing heaven and earth! Buddhism says to love all living beings, but she is all living beings. I only want to love her for the rest of my life, and others It doesn't matter how good it is, this is loving all beings!"

"Professor Su, do you speak so sincerely because you have someone you like?"

Su Ye was taken aback, and he glanced at Xin Yi calmly, but actually looked at the mobile phone in his hand, because he knew that there was another person on the opposite side of the screen.His intuition told him that Jiang Baizhi must be in front of the screen right now.

If he said yes, Jiang Baizhi would definitely hear it.At a certain moment, Su Ye really wanted to say yes, and even said Jiang Baizhi's name.In public, confessing to someone you like, this is too much temptation for a person who has had a crush on him for more than ten years!
But Su Ye finally restrained this idea, if he wanted to confess, it must be face to face, he had to tell Jiang Baizhi personally!
"It seems that everyone loves the world more than philosophy, and they would ask me such a question." Su Ye pretended to sigh.

The audience suddenly burst into laughter, this answer is very funny.

But if you listen carefully, there seems to be a relaxed exhalation mixed with the laughter.
 I wrote for more than an hour, tried my best, but I still didn’t seem to write the feeling I wanted
