Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Wang Tian recalled the "Tao Te Ching" in his memory and remembered that there was another sentence before this sentence, that is, "Governing a big country is like cooking small delicacies." Historically, this sentence was highly praised.  However, Li Boyang did not say such a sentence here. He probably added such a sentence to facilitate the spread of the Tao Te Ching in the world.  Later, Li Boyang talked a lot about moral topics. Those who could understand were fascinated by it, while those who couldn't understand were drowsy.  Seeing that it was getting dark, Li Boyang stood up and said, "Let me tell you this today, and I will continue talking tomorrow." "Thank you, sir!" King Jipeng said extremely humbly.  Then he ordered a bird named Xiaoying to invite Li Boyang into the VIP room to rest.  Xiaoling took Wang Tian out of Qingyuntai. She probably also wanted to arrange a rest room for Wang Tian.  "How about you just go to my room and rest?" Xiao Ling, who was dressed in colorful clothes, said to Wang Tian.  "Is this convenient?" Wang Tian asked.  "Why is it inconvenient? Don't worry, my home is very spacious. I don't have a partner yet, so the room will definitely fit in." Xiaoling said strangely.  "Okay." Wang Tian actually wanted to say, you are a girl, and I am a boy, we are alone But after listening to Xiaoling's words, he knew that he was overthinking.  People didn't think about it at all, because she was just a bird, and he was a human being of a different race.  She would never have the idea of ??a human girl, that a man and a woman alone could not live together in the same room.  Now it¡¯s time to live in the bird¡¯s nest, Wang Tian thought to himself.  I followed Xiaoling to her room. Her room was very spacious and tidy.  She is a female bird after all.  The things in the room were all human supplies, which made Wang Tian breathe a sigh of relief. If it were all piled with dead branches and leaves, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep.  Residents of the Hairy Country like to dress up as humans, especially females.  So their living supplies are all human supplies.  Human beings are one of the three talents of heaven, earth and man, and the spirit of all things. Even demons like to dress up as humans.  "You can rest here, this bed is for my sisters to stay in." Xiaoling pointed to a bed and said to Wang Tian.  "Okay." Wang Tian said: "Can I ask you a question?" "You can ask whatever you want to ask, don't be coy." Xiaoling said.  "Don't be angry if I ask you." Wang Tian said.  "Ask." "Do you eat insects?" Wang Tian asked seriously.  He has always been troubled by this problem. The residents of Hairy Country are all birds.  Birds naturally like to eat insects.  But for such a beautiful girl as Xiaoling, it was hard for Wang Tian to imagine her eating insects.  "Gege" Xiaoling laughed so hard, "These are all the thoughts of you humans. I will not eat those disgusting things. Do you think I am an ordinary bird?" "Then what do you usually eat?  ?" Wang Tian asked.  "We usually eat the flowers and leaves on the sacred tree. The flowers blooming on the sacred tree are full of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Eating just a little will ensure that you will not be hungry for a month. And speaking of insects, there are no insects on the sacred tree at all." Xiao Ling said.  "That's it." After saying that, Wang Tian took off his shoes and went to bed.  Xiaoling was also sleeping on another bed in the same room, but Wang Tian saw that she had not taken off her clothes.  Could it be that her clothes were her feathers?  Wang Tian felt a little suspicious.  Besides, Wang Tian also estimated that birds have no habit of taking off their clothes to sleep.  A night of silence.     the next day.  Early in the morning, Xiaoling asked Wang Tian to go with him to listen to Li Boyang's sermon.  This is already his second day of preaching here. Wang Tian heard that he will only preach here for three days and he will leave after three days.  We arrived at Qingyuntai.  Many people came here early.  Like yesterday, Li Boyang started again.  "Today I will continue to tell you the remaining chapters of "De". There are forty-four chapters in "De". Yesterday I only talked about twenty chapters." Li Boyang said.  "Which sages can you please stop telling us about Virtue? What we want to hear is Dao." At this time, a resident of the Hairy Country said, he was also a bird.  But here he becomes human.  "Well, since you are not interested in listening to "De", I will give you a sermon." Li Boyang said, "There are thirty-seven chapters on Tao. One: Tao can be Tao, but it is not Tao; it can be named, but it is not famous.  . The nameless beginning of heaven and earth; the name of the mother of all things. Therefore, there is always no desire to observe its wonders; these two have the same origin but different names. They are both mysterious and mysterious, and they are the door to all wonders.  After hearing his words, everyone pricked up their ears to listen, because this sentence was very mysterious and difficult to understand.  These people all raised their heads,?Looking at Li Boyang, expecting an explanation from him.  "Since the Tao is very Taoist and the name is very famous, there is no need for me to explain it to you." Li Boyang said with a smile, probably sensing the meaning of everyone's eyes.  Of course, Wang Tian does not need his explanation for this sentence.  Wang Tian can explain it based on his own understanding of Tao.  And everyone has their own way, and their interpretations of this sentence are also different.  Other people's interpretations are other people's, only your own understanding is your own.  This is equivalent to the Tao. In terms of understanding the Tao, others can never take it away.  "How about you explain your interpretation of this sentence?" Li Boyang began to interact with these students.  ¡°We don¡¯t understand.¡± Many people shook their heads and said.  "How about you explain it?" At this time, Li Boyang pointed at Wang Tian and said.  "Okay, then let me tell you some of my own understanding." Wang Tian stood up and said: "What your first sentence, 'Tao can be Tao, but not Tao', means that the Tao that can be expressed in words is not the real Tao.  Tao, so Tao must be understood by oneself, and everyone understands Tao differently." "That's right." Li Boyang nodded and said, "So they ask me to explain what Tao is, but it is not in line with Tao.  "    I see!  Only then did other listeners understand.  As for Wang Tian¡¯s own understanding of this sentence, he has his own way and his understanding is also different.  The Tao that can be expressed in words is not the Tao in the true sense. The definition that can be given to something is not the true name of the thing.  At the beginning, heaven and earth had no name, and the name was only an attribution to all things.  Therefore, use the unconscious to discover the mystery of things, and use the conscious to belong to his scope.  The name "Tao" was given by people, and "Tao" is just the destination of all things.  To understand Tao, one must observe it in an unconscious state, and not control one's thinking just because of its name.  This is the mysterious and mysterious secret, the law that unlocks all mysteries.  After thinking about this, Wang Tian began to understand how humans can practice Taoism, or practice.  That is to let your mind enter an unconscious state and use this state to understand the things around you.  Through this state, the human body can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth!  This is equivalent to the legendary Taoist inner vision, but it is not inner vision.  There is a saying in Buddhism: There is nothing originally, so how can it be contaminated by dust?  It is this state of unconsciousness that we are talking about.  Buddhists are also cultivators, and they reach the same destination as Taoists in cultivation.  In other words, the way of cultivation is the same for all races.  Wang Tian has his own understanding of this sentence, and people of other races also have their own understanding.  They will all gain, because this is the way of heaven.  As a human being, Li Boyang wrote the Tao Te Ching based on human cultivation methods.  Other races are lower than humans, but it still works for them.  Because the way of heaven, heaven, earth, man, and all things are one.  "Heaven and earth are unkind, and regard all things as rotten dogs. The saints are unkind, and regard the common people as rotten dogs. Between heaven and earth, is it just like a tug-o-huang and a y¨¨? It is weak and unyielding, and becomes more active when it moves. It is better to stay in the center than to speak too much and to be poor."  Li Boyang continued to preach.  What does this sentence mean?  They hadn't understood the first sentence just now, and Li Boyang threw out such an incomprehensible sentence again.  However, in the face of these people's questions, Li Boyang did not give them any explanation.  This sentence is actually very simple. It refers to the way of nature, the way of the weak and the strong.  The saints in the high heaven and earth and in the human world actually regard all things and the common people as stupid dogs.  This is the relationship between a peerless strong man and a weak man.  An ant is like a dog in front of a strong person.  So there is a saying in Buddhism: Lord Buddha can kill insects for bathing and cultivation.  How much are ants worth in the face of the powerful?  The Buddha has a clear understanding of the Tao in this regard.  Therefore, Buddha is originally the Tao.  The Buddhists are just a group of monks, and they also follow this moral principle.  Many people may refute this point of view, it is just because he is not strong enough.  It is not enough to form a strong contrast between saints and people, heaven and earth and all things.  To put it simply, if the difference is not too big, they are the same type.  And if the gap is too big, they are no longer the same kind.  When humans kill people, they are killing their own kind, but what about killing an ant?  As a god, if he kills a weak human being, other gods will not say that he is breaking the law.  Between heaven and earth, is it still like a quarry?  If it is empty but not yielding, it will get better when it moves.  It is better to keep the center than to talk too much.  In this sentence, Li Boyang used his own thoughts to think about the world. In fact, he himself did not know whether his thoughts were correct, so he used the word "hu".  In fact, his idea cannot be said to be correct, nor can it be said to be wrong. ?Everyone has his own way, and his idea is also his own way.  But his way cannot be universally accepted.  The bellows is the bellows.  Based on his words, Wang Tian probably guessed what the characteristics of Li Boyang's magical powers were.  (To be continued)
