Nan Huaijin’s summary of the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism is: Buddha is the heart, Tao is the bones, Confucianism is the expression, and the world is viewed magnanimously. Skills are in hand, energy is in body, thinking is in brain, and you can live your life calmly. Reading history for three thousand years is nothing more than fame and wealth; enlightening for ninety thousand miles will eventually lead to poetry and wine.
Whether you are studying Buddhism, cultivating Taoism, or being a human being, you will not succeed if your cultivation has not reached the desired state and if you have not reached the state of forgetting to sleep and eat. In other words, only when the whole body and mind are involved is the principle of desirability, and desirability is called goodness. If academic cultivation has not reached a desirable state, has not turned into desire or habit, and has always been ups and downs, then goodness has not been achieved.
Now let’s explain what sincerity is. "Sincerity to oneself", there is still a big problem in this. The first step is to achieve "what is desirable is called good", and the second step is to achieve "having faith in others". Those who learn to meditate and practice Taoism have done their best. , when the effect comes, you know it yourself, which is called "having all the self".
For example, for those of us who write calligraphy, I have practiced calligraphy in the past. To what extent have I practiced calligraphy? I was sitting there talking to people, writing with my finger, and thinking about the taste of that word. When the taste was enough, I quickly picked up a pen and started writing, and I realized another truth. It turns out that only such a hook has the power and is suitable for calligraphy. This is " There are all selves.”
To "have all one's self" means to be diligent in one's body. Mencius also said that "if one is not sincere to one's body," if one fails to cultivate one's body in Kung Fu, then one is "not sincere to one's body." Are you meditating with your body, and doing it with your legs crossed is called cultivating? When time comes to you, you have found yourself. If you have yourself, you have faith and you have news.
From this step to "enrichment is called beauty", it gradually becomes enriched. "It is called great when it is full and radiant." It shines, but this light is not the light with form, nor the light of the material or physical world, but the light of wisdom. "What is great and transformed is called holy, and what is holy but unknowable is called God."
