? Master Ji Xianlin told a story in his book: In addition to discussing philosophical issues, the neo-Confucianists in China mostly used some practical efforts, and restraining selfish desires was one of them. The specific method of this practice is to dispose of two utensils on the seat, and throw a white bean into the utensils every time you think of one; Every time I have evil thoughts, I throw a black bean into the container. At first, there were more black beans and less white beans. Later, there were no black beans, and finally there were no white beans. According to the master's research, this meditation method originated in India and spread in China, which is the result of Buddhist cultural exchange between China and India. ?
? A self-righteous idea flashed through my mind at once. I should design a mobile APP called "black beans and white beans". It is inconvenient to think at will, throw beans at will, check and summarize before going to bed at night, regardless of environmental conditions.
? It's just a game, but I can't help it, but I can't let it go. The gentry intellectuals in China are conscientious, strict with themselves, take the sage as the key link, cultivate one's morality and cultivate one's character, but they want to be gentlemen and do something. My generation is just and useless. What is an ear?
? Mr. Zhou has an interesting description of the origin of calligraphy in Eight Laws of Yong Zi. Mr. Wanli thought deeply, and went through the wild times and saw a primitive man, wrapped in animal skins and holding branches, painting and playing in the flat sand under a tree after the rain. Primitive people drew a horizontal line and crackled like magic. On that simple horizontal line, he suddenly saw the sky and the earth, the sun and the moon. Primitive people could not hide their excitement, so they began to explore this "one" at a deeper level, adding waves to it and producing Yin and Yang. This "one" has gradually become profound and inclusive.
? This primitive man should be Fuxi. Fuxi was born in Tianshui, my hometown. Fuxi Temple is small, with dense cypresses, and the four characters "One painting opens the sky" are hung on the plaque in the main hall. The unification of this game opened the beginning of the Chinese nation, which was originally meant. Not far from Fuxi Temple, yuquan temple has a couplet, which I still remember: one life is two, two lives are three, and three lives are all things; Earth and heaven, heaven and Tao, Tao is natural. "One" started naturally, but now I understand.
? Is it just a game? Interestingly, chaos and civilization begin with games.
? Playing football with my son and his two little friends in the yard of the community is fun, and I don't care about running around on the lawn. A big brother who is under 60 next to me can't stand it. He hates me for trampling on the grass. He's right. I don't think so either. Leave the lawn. However, this eldest brother is resolute, and his best decission is still strict, with a full face of resentment reprimanding me for how I can play football on the grass like a child. I couldn't help flying into a rage and asked him, who gave you such a great moral right to blame others at will? Now that I think about it, I threw myself a black bean, but I would never throw him a white bean. I feel in my heart that he is not a good man with good ideas.
Spent several years in Africa. Once, I don't remember why, I had an argument with a big brother in the dormitory. Big brother gnashed his teeth and said that he was not going to be a good man. I choked for a long time, but I always felt that this big brother was not bad. I don't vote for white beans, but I won't vote for black beans either.
? Black and white, good and evil. I believe that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. If you don't know this, you are a fool. But I have never been sure whether there are really good people and bad people in this world.
? Traveling with colleagues, doing nothing after dinner, walking in the street, the snow in winter has not melted, Chun Xue is fluttering, and the air is cold but refreshing. Talking about a point of view, everyone has two sides, good and evil. Getting along with others, or performing well or performing badly, varies from person to person and is stimulated by each other. The so-called god is good and the so-called ghost is evil. Wang Yangming's Longchang enlightenment: the sage is here, and there is no way! That's probably what it means. Good and evil are in my heart, and it is all in me to promote good and suppress evil.
? It is said that the world of adults is not easy. In fact, life is empty, just a game to see how to play. Wash your heart with beans, put aside delusion and persistence, and do not lose a good attitude and method.
