All things are born as Tao, all things are not Tao, there is me as Tao, there is no self as Tao, there is heart as Tao, and there is no heart as Tao. I am not myself, the heart is not heart, the heart is like dust, and dust is not one. things. Tao is the law
The Tao of Heaven is the law of the universe
The unity of nature and man means that people should respect the law and exert their subjective initiative and creativity.
What is the Tao, the practitioner For the Tao.
The Buddha said: Those who practice the Tao and uphold the truth are good, and those who have the same aspirations and Tao are great.
The Tao is the way we practice. Just as there is no Tao in the world, the Tao becomes the more people follow it. All we do is the Word. Everything is the Tao, walk in the Tao. In ancient times, there were no roads. When many people walked to the same place, it became a road
What is a road?
It is recognized by others.
Your own road Go on your own. That is your own road. But "Tao" is a very important category in ancient Chinese philosophy, and it is the philosophical thought of Laozi in the pre-Qin Dynasty. Laozi believes that all things in the world are born from "Tao". He said in the "Tao Te Ching" that "Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives rise to all things." But "Tao" has no purpose, "Tao always does nothing but does everything." All things in the world follow the "Tao", and "all things respect the Tao."
Taoist Zhuangzi inherited Laozi’s thoughts and regarded “Tao” as the highest entity born from heaven and earth. He believes that Tao actually exists, but it is inactive and invisible. Tao can be spread, but no one can accept it. The Tao can be understood, but no one can see its form. It itself is its own essence and root. Before there was any heaven and earth, it had existed since ancient times. It makes ghosts and emperors become gods, and it produces heaven and earth. Tao is above Tai Chi, but it cannot be said to be high; Tao is below Liuhe, but it cannot be said to be deep; Tao is older than heaven and earth, but it cannot be said to be long; Tao was born older than the most ancient times, but it cannot be said to be It's old. "Zhuangzi·The Great Master"
In addition to its philosophical meaning, "Tao" also has a mysterious nature. This mystery makes "Tao" very complicated and allows people to make various interpretations of "Tao". understanding or explanation. Tao is the characteristic of all things and even the universe. In Buddhism, it is called "Dharma". It is this characteristic that creates everything, so Laozi said, "Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to ten thousand...". This kind of The characteristic is that the reason why everything in the universe exists is the highest principle. Therefore, we must assimilate to this principle and comply with this principle. We can say that such a person has attained the Tao. What is it specifically? Different levels have different requirements
< p>Buddha's Dharma is hard to find, and the true way is hard to come by! How can ordinary people know it? Those who are not predestined, grounded, and enlightened cannot get it? What is the way? The absence of the way is the way. You don't hear:The world's affairs are over and over, so why not let them go?
For outsiders, there is no fixed law, and then you know the law.
That’s it.
What’s illegal is the law.
So: Just be innocent. The first chapter of the Tao Te Ching says,
Tao, Kedao, is not Tao. Name, can be named, is not very named.
Nothing, the name is the beginning of heaven and earth. Being, name The mother of all things.
Therefore, it is always non-existent. If you want to observe its wonderfulness, you will always have it to observe its beauty.
These two have the same origin but different names, and they are both called mysteries. Mysterious and mysterious, the door of all wonders.
Tao can be called Tao, not just the Tao, but the principle of the growth of all things and the changes of heaven and earth.
This is in (无,名 It is also the beginning of heaven and earth. Existence is also called the mother of all things.
Therefore, it is always non-existent, so as to observe its wonderfulness, and always exists to observe its beauty.
These two come from the same place. Different names, the same name is Xuan. Xuan is another Xuan, the door of all wonders.)
It has been pointed out that the first two sentences point out that `you' and `nothing' are the growth of all things and the changes of heaven and earth. And there is and Wu is another synonym for Tao.
And Tao is Xuan, and Xuan is the principle of the growth of all things and the changes of heaven and earth. It is also the principle of the change of the universe. This is the wonderful door! I have heard such a saying Story: A mortal seeks enlightenment from an old monk, who gives instructions but is speechless. Everyone looked back and left happily. One day, the old monk was in seclusion. Xiaosha Ni, who was accompanying him, saw a crowd of seekers, so he came out and pointed out the old monk's Dharma to the crowd. Everyone left happily. When the old monk came out, Xiao Sha Ni happily told him, "I have attained the Tao!" The old monk asked him in detail, then he took a knife and hid it on his back. He held a small piece of sand to show him what the way was. The small piece of sand showed the old monk. The old monk cut off his fingers with a knife. Little Shami screamed in pain, and suddenly understood the mind and nature, and achieved enlightenment! But everything in the world is Tao. Everything is natural. It seems that the Sixth Patriarch once said: The Tao is within one breath and one breath.
Since everything has a way, why should we stick to one? Tao can be one, two, three, or zero! If we stick to the predecessors in everything, how can we say we are enlightened?
