Inscription poem:
Yan Hui said that I was unable to make progress, so I dared to ask the other side. Zhong Ni said that I was fasting,
If I speak words, I will do it with my heart, so how can it be easy to be evil? It's not suitable for those who are easy to change,
it's not suitable for the day. Yan Hui asked: When I come back home, I only don't drink alcohol,
if I don't eat meat, it will last for months; If so, what do you think?
It's called a ritual fasting, but not a spiritual fasting. When asking about a spiritual fasting, Zhong Ni replied:
If you are single-minded, you don't listen to your ears, but you listen to your heart, and you don't listen to your heart,
you listen to your spirit; The ear stops at hearing, and the heart stops at symbols. Those who are also healthy are < P > empty and treat things; Only the Tao gathers emptiness, and those who are empty are fasting in their hearts, so that they are empty and real.
There is nothing, the Tao is sincere, sincere and sincere, and there is nothing.
When you are sincere, your spirit is clear. Yan Hui said, I have made it before, and
I have returned to it myself. If you have to make it, there will be a return before it starts. Is it empty?
Confucius said it's over. If you can enter, you can swim around it without feeling its name.
If you enter, you will announce it. If you don't, you will stop. There is no door but no poison.
If you have to, you have to live in a house. It's easy for people to disappear, but it's difficult to walk.
If you are a servant, it's easy to fake it, but if you are an angel, it's hard to fake it.
Those who have heard of wings can fly, but those who have not heard of wings can fly.
If you know what you know, you can know it, but if you don't know what you know, you can know it.
If you look at others, you will feel empty, and your good fortune will stop.
If you are a husband, you will not stop. It means that you are sitting on your back. If you are blind to your eyes and ears, you can learn from the inside.
If you are wise outside, ghosts and gods will give up. However, the situation depends on people. Everything has changed,
Yu Shun's new position and Fu Xi's several mistakes have led to the end of his actions, and the situation is scattered.
The original text
Yan Hui said, "I can't make progress, so I dare to ask his side (27)." Zhong Ni said, "Zhai (28), I will speak if! Do it with heart (29), is it easy to be evil? Those who are easy are not suitable for tomorrow (3). " Yan Hui said, "When I returned home, I was poor, but those who didn't drink or eat meat for months (31). So, can it be lent? " Yue: "It is a sacrificial fasting, not a spiritual fasting (32)." He replied, "I dare to ask my heart." Zhong Ni said, "If you have a will (33), you should listen to it with your heart without listening, and listen to it with your heart without listening (34)! Listening stops at the ear (35) and the heart stops at the symbol (36). Those who are angry also treat things falsely. Only the Tao is empty (37). Those who are empty, the heart is also fasting. "
Yan Hui said, "You have to make it before you return (38), but you actually return (39); If you have to make it, there will be a return before it begins. Can it be said that it is virtual? " Confucius said, "All is well (4). If I speak! If you can enter its fan without feeling its name (41), you will sound (42) if you enter, and stop if you don't. No door is toxic (43), and if you live in a house (44), it will be a few days (45). Extinction is easy, but it is difficult to go anywhere (46). It's easy to make people fake (47), but it's hard to fake angels. Those who have heard of flying with wings have never heard of flying without wings; He who knows what he knows is ignorant (48). Those who look for others (49), empty room produces white (5), and good luck stops (51). The husband is more than that. It is called sitting (52), and the husband is familiar with the eyes and ears (53), and the ghosts and gods will give up in the future, but the situation is human! It is the transformation of all things, and the place where Yu Shun is located is also new (54), and the end of his actions is played (55), while the situation is scattered (56)! "
Translation
Yan Hui said, "I have no better way, so I took the liberty to ask my teacher for advice." Confucius said: "I will tell you if I fast and clear my heart!" Is it easy to do it with a positive attitude towards the world? If it is easy to do so, heaven will think it is inappropriate. " Yan Hui said: "I am from a poor family in Yan Hui. I have not drunk alcohol or eaten meat for several months. Like this, can I say that I am fasting?" Confucius said: "this is the so-called fasting before sacrifice, not the' heart fasting'." Yan Hui said: "I asked what is' Xin Zhai'." Confucius said: "You must get rid of distractions, concentrate on your mind, understand with your heart without listening, and feel with a quiet and empty artistic conception without understanding with your heart!" The function of the ear is only to listen, and the function of the heart is only to communicate with external things. A quiet and nihilistic state of mind is weak and supple and can deal with all things in the universe. Only the avenue can gather in a quiet and nihilistic state of mind. An empty state of mind is called' Xin Zhai'. "
Yan Hui said: "I have never been taught by Xin Zhai, so there really is a real Yan Hui; I was taught by Xin Zhai, and I suddenly felt that I had never had a real Yan Hui. Can this be called the realm of nothingness and emptiness? " Confucius said, "Your understanding of Xin Zhai is really thorough. I'll tell you again, if you can travel in the environment of pursuing fame and gain without being moved by fame and wealth, Wei Jun can adopt you to clarify your point of view, and if you can't adopt you, stop talking, don't look for the path of your career, and don't remind the world of what you want, concentrate on nothing but distractions, and pin yourself on the helpless realm, then it will almost meet the requirements of' heart fasting'. It's easy for a person not to walk, but it's difficult to walk without leaving traces on the ground. It is easy to disguise when driven by the world, but it is difficult to fake when driven by nature. I have heard that I can fly with wings, but I have never heard that I can fly without wings. I have heard that you can understand things with wisdom, but you can understand things without wisdom. Take a look at the empty world. Suddenly, the empty state of mind is pure and white, and nothing exists. All auspicious things disappear in the quiet realm. If you can't stop at this point, this is called sitting in a trance. If the senses of the eyes and ears are inward accessible and the mind is excluded, then ghosts and gods will come to join them, let alone people! This is the change of everything, the main point that Yu and Shun grasped, and the truth that Fuxi and Ji Mi always followed, not to mention ordinary people! "
Notes to Deqing by Hanshan in Zhuangzi:
Yan Hui said, "I can't make progress (the knowledge of speaking back stops here, and I can't make progress), so I dare to ask his side (please ask the master what to teach me)." Zhong Ni said, "Zhai, I will speak what I say.". If (you also) do it, it's easy (it's not easy to say that you want to turn people into people if you don't turn yourself into them)? Those who are easy are not suitable for heaven (those who are easy with their hearts are not true, so it is not suitable for heaven). " Yan Hui said, "When I returned home, I was poor, but those who didn't drink or eat meat for months. If this is the case, can it be lent? " Yue: "It's a sacrificial fasting, not a spiritual fasting." He replied, "I dare to ask my heart." Zhong Ni said, "If you are determined (to be single-minded in your mind), you can listen to it with your heart without listening to it (words are heard in your heart); if you don't listen to it with your heart, you can listen to it with your spirit (the heart has not forgotten its shape, but the spirit is empty, and the form is transformed). The mind stops at the symbol (that is, the mind is hidden in reason). If you are angry, you will treat things in vain. Only the Tao is empty (emptiness is the body of Tao). Those who are empty, the heart is also fasting (teaching Yan Zi's heart is fasting, and the Lord is also empty). "
Yanzi has never left her heart in many ways, and she has never forgotten the opportunity when she speaks with her heart. If you don't forget the machine, you won't change it. Therefore, it is taught to be based on the heart and to be extremely empty. If it is empty, I will forget everything, and if it is self-absorbed, it will be self-absorbed.
Yan Hui said, "If you can make it before it starts, you will actually make it back (if you don't talk about it, you will think you have it); if you can make it, you will make it back before it starts, which can be described as empty (if you hear the teachings of Xin Zhai, you will forget yourself, which can be described as empty?" After a word, I have an epiphany)? " Confucius said, "That's it!"! I will talk if (I say that you have a place to be educated, so I will talk about it): if (you also) can enter his fan (Fan refers to the fence, which means that the world is also in the net) without feeling his name (if he can visit the world, he can forget himself, but he can't be clever enough to move people, but he wants his name), he will sing if he enters, but he will stop if he doesn't enter (if he can't keep his words, he will definitely go, but look at it) If there is no door, there is no poison. Poison, that is, dazzling medicine, is called the medicine that must be cured. Both of them are suffering, and neither can be used. If you live in a house and have to, you will be a few. (If you live in a house, you will feel at ease in one and have no second thoughts. That is, what it says, when it means having to respond, it must not be intentional. In this way, it is almost audible). It's easy to disappear, but it's difficult to walk without a line (it's unique to Shang Yi; Be careless about the world, don't be embarrassed. That is, Lao Tzu "has no trace of good deeds"). It is difficult for an angel to be faked because it is easy for a man to be faked. If you are a person's envoy, your capacity can be false. Sages take advantage of their sincerity to resist things, but peace can be false. Those who have heard of flying with wings have never heard of flying without wings. It is said that the world has a heart for things, and the winners have it; If you don't want to respond to things, you will be influenced. If you fly without wings, you will not hear about it. Those who know it will be heard, and those who don't know it will be heard. Sages know by ignorance, cover their words and forget their wisdom, and respond to things unintentionally. This is difficult, and I have not heard of it). Those who look at each other, empty room gives birth to white (this metaphor of guilty conscience is also. It means that the room is empty, but if there is a vacancy, the light will shine, and the empty room will be white. As a metaphor for a guilty conscience, the sky is spontaneous), and auspiciousness stops (words are intentional, and fortunes follow. The so-called good or ill luck, regret, and anger are also born. If you have nothing in your heart today, you will not be born, you will be self-conscious, and your regrets will all disappear, but your good fortune will stop. In terms of this modesty, it is the place where auspiciousness stops. There is more than a husband, so it is called sitting (it is said that everyone's heart is empty and bright, the first person does not feel at ease, and the selfish desires germinate, so it is called sitting). When a husband is martyred, his eyes and ears are familiar with him, and his mind is aware of him. Ghosts and gods will give up in the future, but people will suffer (martyrdom, being martyred, still losing). I lost my eyes and ears, and I saw and heard back, so the cloud was connected. If the inner accommodation is in the heart and the true light is exposed, you don't need to be arrogant and ignorant. If this is the case, it will be empty and bright, and it will be in harmony with ghosts and gods. Therefore, ghosts and gods will be abandoned in the future, but people will not be affected! This person who flies without wings is also. This teaching back to the extreme)! It is the transformation of all things (that is, the loss of eyes and ears, the form is self-forgetting; If you know outside, you will lose your wisdom. If I forget things, and I forget materialization, then everything will turn into Tao), and the new button of Yu Shun (hub) will also end what Fuxi and Ji Mi (ancient sage) did, but the situation will be scattered (I forget things at the same time, and everything will turn into Tao), which will be mixed with the original road. That is, Yu is sacred and also a hub; Fuxi and Ji Mi's Great Sage ruled the world and lived for life. And what about the scattered people? Yan Hui can use this to serve the world, so why force it? "
this remark is related to the world, and it precedes the monarch. This remark helps you in your difficulties. If it is not something, I will forget it, humbly obey it, and have to respond to it. I must never feel guilty and leave it. If you persist in my opinion and strongly remonstrate with the inevitable will, it will not only help you, but also lead to death. The death of this dragon and Bigan is a mistake.
