Chapter 1060: Lao Tzu's Explanation of the Dao


In Lao Tzu's Tao Jing and Tao Jing Jing, the Tao is explained in many places, that is, I am afraid that future generations will not understand it, or understand it wrongly.

Now I will excerpt the text of Lao Tzu's explanation of the Tao together to facilitate everyone's understanding.

In the fourth chapter of the Tao Sutra, Lao Tzu describes the Tao as follows: Dao Chong, and use it or not profit.

Abyss, like the sect of all things; Zhanxi, as if it exists.

I don't know whose son is the first of the emperors.

Lao Tzu said: Tao is like a container, it seems to put many, many things in it, inexhaustible, inexhaustible Tao is like a container, you can put many, many things in it, and we don't know where it comes from, we can't find its origin.

But the origin of all things begins here, and it seems too mysterious, to say that it does not exist, it actually exists; Let's say it exists, but we can't see its source.

I don't know how it came to be, it should have existed before everything existed.

In fact, Lao Tzu's explanation is still very general, from the perspective of Taoism, it is a general reference, and it is still not easy for people to understand.

If we were to be more specific, we would have to give examples.

In the first article, Lao Tzu talked about "nothingness" and "existence", and talked about the changes in the sermon.

In fact, this one is still preaching a change in the sermon.

Lao Tzu said in the first article that nothing is the beginning of heaven and earth, and existence is the mother of all things.

From nothing changes and evolves into concrete things, and this concrete thing is the Tao.

Therefore all things are the Tao, and everything is the Tao.

Man is the Tao, things are also the Tao, and everything in heaven and earth is the Tao, including the starry sky of the universe.

To say that everything is the Tao has been generalized, in general.

If you want to be specific, you can point out any thing, and it is all Tao.

It is easier for people to understand by listing a specific object and using it to explain this article.

Take people as an example, people are also like a container, as if there are many, many things in it, and inexhaustible people are like a container, as if they can put many, many things in it, and they can't fit it Why do you say that?

Man changed and evolved from ape.

The ape-man may have evolved from a monkey or a gorilla or something.

Or man, ape, monkey, gorilla, etc., all come from the same ancestor.

So which things do the same ancestor have in common with an ancestor And then we can trace the source upwards, endlessly It's us going back up and we can't find the true source.

In short, we human beings come from between heaven and earth, and under the action of heaven and earth, we eventually form human beings.

All things are the same, they are also formed by the action between heaven and earth.

We don't know where it came from, we can't find its origins.

But the origin of all things begins here, and it seems too mysterious, to say that it does not exist, it actually exists; Let's say it exists, but we can't see its source.

We don't know how it came to be, it should have existed before everything existed.

Let's go back to the source: we are human beings, and human beings can continue their existence through reproduction.

But as individuals, we are all going to die.

So the question is, what will become of us when we die?

When a person dies, the body decomposes.

When a person dies, he first becomes a corpse.

And then it rots.

What does a person become when it rots, it should not only become soil, but also become the nourishment of the plant, which will be continued in the plant.

After death, a person may also become a wild animal and other small animals, as well as an unseen small animal to eat.

And then it was continued by wild beasts and small animals Now let's look back and think about whether people are a container, as if there are many, many things in it, and inexhaustible people are like a container, which can put many, many things, and it is not enough This is the Word The variations of the Tao are endless In the sixth chapter of the Tao Sutra, Lao Tzu continues to preach on the changes and evolution of the Tao.

The original text of the sixth chapter of the Tao Sutra: The god of grains is immortal, it is called Xuanqi.

The gate of Xuanqi is the root of heaven and earth.

If the silk system exists, it is not used diligently.

The Tao, like the god of grains, is eternally existent, is the root of all things, the changes of all things are endless, and the changes of all things are like the reproductive organs of motherhood, giving birth to new things, emerging endlessly, so that the Tao is the root of all things, the root of heaven and earth, the root of all things, it is continuous, the more it is used, the more it emerges, endlessly In fact, this one seems to be repetitive.

But in order for us to understand the Tao, Lao Tzu had to repeat it repeatedly.

In the fourteenth chapter of the Tao Sutra, Lao Tzu mentioned the Tao again.

The original text of the fourteenth chapter of the Tao Sutra: Blind to it, the name is Yi; If you don't hear it, your name is Xi; I can't fight, and the name is small.

These three cannot be interrogated, so they are mixed into one.

There is no darkness on the top, and there is no ambiguity on the bottom.

The rope is indescribable, and it returns to things.

It is said to be formless, the image of nothing, and it is said to be trance.

The first one is missing, and then the one is gone.

The way of the ancients is to keep the present.

Being able to know the beginning of the ancient times is the Taoist era.

The meaning of this passage is: The specific source of the Tao cannot be seen because the voice of the Tao cannot be heard for a long time, because the Tao is silent and cannot be touched, and because the Tao is everywhere.

We don't need to ask about these three, they are all characteristics of the Tao The Tao is such an east, and its source is not so bright and clear; Nor does its future look bleak, nor does it know what it will be; It is endless and indescribable, take things as an example, and you will find that the changes of things are carried out unconsciously, which is the "Tao".

This is a shapeless shape, the image of the object is not seen, and it is called "trance".

Facing it, you can't see its head; With it, you can't see behind it.

According to the concrete things of the present, tracing back to the source, we can understand what the past was likeAccording to the specific things of the past, observing their development trajectory, we will find that the final result is to take history as a mirror, grasp the "Tao" that has existed for a long time, and control the concrete things of the present.

Be able to understand the primordial nature of the universe, the law of the Tao.

The original text of the twenty-first chapter of the Tao Sutra: The face of Confucius, but the way is to follow.

The Tao is a thing, but it is in a trance.

In a trance, there is an elephant in it; In a trance, there is something in it.

Slim and dark, there is essence in it; Its essence is true, and in it is faith.

From now upon and from ancient times, its name has not been left to read the public.

How do I know the state of the people?

In this way.

This article is about: Those who are the most moral and respectable are all people who have attained the Tao, and their rules of survival and the way they live in the world are all to imitate the Tao What kind of thing is the Tao, I have already said before, the Tao looks like it is in a trance.

Although it is in a trance, there is an image in it, and there are things in it.

For example, the history of the past, it is real, it is the appearance of the Tao, there are things in it, it is the physical objects that our eyes see It's too far away to peek into its entirety, but it still retains its essence.

Let us get a glimpse of its essence, what this essence is, it is the history of the past, it is the memories and impressions left to us, and we can trace the traces of the Tao according to these Therefore, according to what we see in reality, according to memory, according to history, to seek further, to understand the Tao, to learn more about the Tao, this is how we continue to pursue the source of things, to sort out the ins and outs of things, so that we can see the essence of things, and this is how I come to know the Tao The original text of the twenty-fifth chapter of the Tao Sutra: There is a mixture of things, born from nature.

Lonely, independent and unchanging, circumferential and not dying, can be the mother of heaven and earth.

I don't know its name, the strong word is called the way, and the strong name is big.

The big is gone, the past is far away, and the far is reversed.

Therefore, the road is big, the sky is big, the earth is big, and the people are big.

There are four major domains, and people live in one of them.

Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law, and the Tao is the nature.

This one is preaching again: There is something chaotic that existed before the heavens and the earth.

It has no sound or form, it has always been the same way, it has been circulating all the time, and everything in heaven and earth comes from it.

I didn't know what it was, so I reluctantly gave it a name "Dao" and reluctantly named it "Da".

It is vast and boundless, ubiquitous since ancient times and today, running more than once, and repeating itself.

Therefore, it is said that the heavens, the earth, and the people are also great in this space, and there are four major things: the Tao, the heavens, the earth, and the people, and people are one of them The reason why man is one of them is because of man's wisdom, man's agency, and man is an intelligent species.

Man can emulate the laws of heaven and earth, nature, and Tao.

The first thing man imitated was the earth, which gave him the foundation of his existence.

Follow the laws of survival of all things on earth.

The earth imitates the heavens, the heavens imitate the Tao, the Tao, the Dharma, and the natural Tao naturally exists like that The Tao is also mentioned in the Book of Virtues: Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things.

All things are negative yin and embrace yang, and they are impulsive and peaceful.

What does this mean?

All things come from the Tao.

Through the evolution of the Tao, a certain thing is produced, and then another thing evolves from this thing.

From the first one to two, or from these two to the new east, so that it becomes three That's how everything evolves and evolves.

Everything has its own unique aspect that distinguishes it from others.

They contain yin and yang, and the positive and negative sides of yin and yang combine to form a whole.

There is also the movement of the opposite way; The use of the weak way.

Everything in the world is born from being, and some are born from nothing.

This passage is also from the Book of Virtues, which means: Repeated cycles and never-ending, which are the characteristics of the "Tao".

The transformation from weak and inconspicuous to strong is accomplished under the function of "Tao".

The origin of all things in the world is like this, all of them have evolved and evolved from a specific Dongdong, so how did a specific Dongdong come about, and they also evolved and evolved from a specific Dongdong before There are other places in the Tao Jing and the Tao Jing that also speak of the Tao, and I will not list them one by one.

Lao Tzu reminds us everywhere in the Tao Te Verse that the purpose is not only to interpret the Tao, but also to use, to teach us to imitate the Tao.

Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law, and the Tao is the nature.

Man can emulate the laws of heaven and earth, nature, and Tao.

The first thing man imitated was the earth, which gave him the foundation of his existence.

Follow the laws of survival of all things on earth.

The earth imitates the heavens, the heavens imitate the Tao, the Tao, the Dharma, and the natural Tao naturally exists like that The ultimate purpose of Lao Tzu's sermon is to teach us to establish a correct outlook on life, the world, and the universe, establish a correct philosophical thought, and guide us to live a healthy life.

The way of thinking used by Lao Tzu is the method of "analogical thinking".

Before the pre-Qin period, the way of thinking of logical reasoning was not yet mature, and most of the wise men used analogical thinking.

And in the Tao Te Ching, it is this way of thinking that is used. aa2705221:
