Hello, everyone. After being introduced by a friend, I read the Tao Te Ching corrected by Mr. Lin of Sun Xiang.

I don't agree with the upstairs saying that the Tao Te Ching is a philosophical classic that teaches people to do things. In fact, Tao Te Ching has always been a classic of Taoist practice. Laozi is also a practitioner, and many people practiced Buddhism in ancient times. I think that Lao Tzu wrote the Tao Te Ching from the actual practice experience, not out of thin air. Many sentences in Tao Te Ching are descriptions of scenes seen in monasticism, such as trance-like images, trance-like things and so on. Many descendants just pat their heads in the ivory tower and annotate their subjective imagination. It is precisely because of Confucius' Confucianism that the Tao Te Ching is not a real classic. Laozi is indeed much better than Confucius. Confucius once asked Laozi that Confucius learned the Book of Changes in his later years. In fact, it can be seen from his Book of Changes that he has been influenced by Taoist thought. Confucianism stresses human nature, while Taoism transcends human nature.

I suggest you listen to your friends and really practice Sun's version of Tao Te Ching. The practical method is very simple, that is, recite it four times a day, less than four times, but preferably four times, each time for half an hour to an hour. I have been doing it for half a year, and my health has improved a lot. My previous problems are almost gone. As a philosophical theory book, Tao Te Ching has always been my cognition. At first, I also shrugged off this version. I always think the version that has been circulated for thousands of years is good. How can this contemporary version of Tao Te Ching be compared with the version handed down for thousands of years? It was not until an accidental opportunity decided to start actual combat training that I really believed in the usefulness of this version, because my 10' s fault for many years was to recite the Tao Te Ching for several months, which really benefited me a lot. People who practice Taoism will regard the Tao Te Ching as a guide book for practice and only regard the Tao Te Ching as a philosophical theory book, which is too narrow. You can only understand it by personal experience. Don't flatly deny what you don't understand. People's cognition is very limited. Just reading the Tao Te Ching can play a role in self-cultivation, but if you really want to fundamentally change yourself, you still need to practice, otherwise it will be just an armchair strategist. I give you two QQ groups. If you are interested, you can go in and talk with your old schoolmate. Many of them have 20 years of practical experience. QQ 126596274，QQ 17995865 1
