In Zhuangzi's treatise on all things, Zhuangzi mentions the word "becoming the mind".
The word "enlightenment" is very important, and a correct understanding of it will be of great benefit to our cultivation.
So what is the meaning of becoming a mind?
Becoming a mind is actually a preconception Preconceptions are the most popular explanations and easy to understand.
However, if it is understood in terms of stereotypes, it is often associated with words such as stubborn, conservative, old-fashioned, and so on.
Preconceptions usually refer to an adult's formation of an inherent, one's own way of knowing, a theory of cognition about the world.
Zhuangzi's Chengxin does not only refer to the prejudice of one person, but refers to the "prejudice" that all people have So what is the "prejudice" that all human beings have?
Cultural experience This is a "stereotype" for all of us Why do we say that "culture" and "experience" are the "stereotypes" of all of us?
Because since we were born, we have received the education of our parents, elders, and people around us, so that we have "prejudices" and "hearts".
That's why we think that we should understand the world in this way, get along with the people around us, and so on.
We agreed with our parents, elders, the people around us, and our teachers, and we received education.
Therefore, Zhuangzi's "Chengxin" refers to the education we receive and the influence of education on us.
We have been influenced by traditional education to form our own way of understanding the world, which is Chengxin We have received the education and influence of our parents, elders, and people around us to form our own unique personality and unique way of cognition, which is what Zhuangzi called "becoming the mind".
Zhuangzi's Chengxin mainly refers to the Chengxin in terms of life cognition.
In Zhuangzi's Theory of Things, there is such a passage that is written about the dangers of becoming the mind and becoming the mind.
The original text is as follows: The husband follows his heart and learns, who is alone and has no teacher, Xi will know the generation, and the heart of the self-inflicted will be the fool and the Yan.
There is right and wrong before the heart, which is suitable for today and in the past.
It's about making something out of nothing.
There is nothing to do, although there is a god, and I can't know, I am alone and helpless This passage translated into the vernacular is: Ordinary people get along with people, society, and all things in nature based on their own past experience or other people's ways of dealing with the world.
Our own past experience and the experience of others are our teachers This teacher is called "Chengxin", which can also be said to be prejudice or prejudice or prejudice, which is a fixed standard for judging things in our minds, and thinking that it is correct We all have a teacher like this, and we all like to judge things by a fixed standard of judging things, and think that they are correct Why do we have such teachers?
Why do we have a heart?
Because that's what we were taught to do when we were young, because the circumstances in which we live give us the same feelings.
We are educated, we identify with the experiences of others, and thus form our own opinions, which is the source of our minds, or prejudices Ignorant people will be like us, do they have a successful mindThe answer is yes: all of us have a successful mind, and all of us have such a teacher.
So often before something happens, we have a judgment, a guess, and a countermeasure.
We imagine something and then judge, analyze, guess, and so on.
And then there was a way to deal with it.
Tease and defend or imagine the existence of an enemy first, and then attack and retaliate against the imaginary enemy.
This is the fault of the heart Since we have a heart, we have made something out of nothing, and we have a dream, and we have Confucianism and Mohism, and we have drawn a piece of cake, so that those who want to eat it are full of hope for the future.
It's like going to Yue today and arriving yesterday.
Why did we go to Yue Guo yesterday, because yesterday our hearts have gone, and our hearts have gone.
We have richly imagined the country of Vietnam, imagining n n possible and n scenes. nn case.
This is the fault of the heart, and the absence is regarded as being.
If there is no, there is, what is the truth of this, even if Shengming Dayu is alive, I am afraid it is impossible to explain it clearly.
And how can I explain these truths clearly, so that the world can understand the dangers of becoming a mind?
What is called "nothing" is "nothing".
In fact, it is mainly aimed at Confucianism and Mohistism, and both Confucianism and Mohist imagine the future very beautifully.
Even those of us in modern society also believe that "there is a future only if there is a dream".
In fact, the future is beautiful, our expectations, ideals, dreams, and the imagined future world does not exist.
But we regard it as existing, because Confucianism and Mohism, as well as in modern society, all firmly believe that "if you have a dream, as long as you persist, you will come true", which is to regard nothing as having it Zhuangzi's talk about the formation of the mind in the theory of things is not limited to the understanding of words, nor is it limited to the understanding of the article on the theory of things.
If we are limited to the understanding of the text, and only to the understanding of the article on the theory of alignment, then the understanding of Zhuangzi's "Chengxin" is one-sided.
Zhuangzi hopes that we can jump out of the limitations of the cognition of Chengxin and look at the world and problems from a higher level.
Otherwise, we will become the shadow of others, live that shadow-like life, repeat the story of yesterday, repeat the story of others, repeat the story of our ancestors.
We have to have the spirit of Marx: doubt everything We can't accept all the education we have been taught by our parents, elders, people around us, and teachers, and it doesn't mean that we should deny it all and not understand it dogmatically.
We need to re-examine the traditional education we have received.
We have to rethink ourselves, take the essence and remove the dross.

From the perspective of the Zhuangzi period, we should not believe in the Zhou rites, the Zhou system, as well as the Confucianism, Mohistism, or the doctrines of the Hundred Schools of Thought.
We have to re-examine, we have to jump out of the circle of Zhou Li, Zhou system, Confucianism, Mohistism and the hundred schools of thought, and we have to stand on a higher angle to re-examine.
We should not be bound by traditional doctrines and ideas, and only when we abandon the "heart" and the shackles of traditional thinking can we truly emancipate our minds.
Can we stand on the Taoist outlook on life, the world, and the cosmology to look at life and the world anew?
This is the purpose of Zhuangzi's "becoming the heart".
If the people of the world at that time could jump out of the circle of Confucianism, Mohism, and other schools of thought and accept Taoist thought, would they have gained a new life?
From the perspective of modern society, can we abandon the shackles of traditional philosophical thoughts, and can we abandon the circle of Eastern culture, Western culture, and religion?
If we jump out of the circle of Eastern and Western cultures, out of the circle of Confucianism and Taoism, out of the circle of Buddhism and God, and from the perspective of human beings, will we get a new life?
As Zhuangzi said in the Theory of Things: What Confucianism and Mohists are arguing about is the same Eastern and Western cultures, religious cultures, all for the sake of a better life for human beings.
We can say that the culture that others follow is wrong, and that others say that the culture we follow is wrong.
In fact, it's just about survival Whoever violates this common will to live will surely sink in the history of mankind.
You also want to live, and I also want to live, this is everyone's common will and idea.
When some people only care about themselves and ignore the survival aspirations of others, the world is bound to be chaotic Because we are not stupider than others, when others do not let us survive, resistance is inevitable, confrontation is inevitable, when we cannot reconcile, the enemy and us will come to fight to the death Therefore, it is said that becoming a mind is a scourge, and only by abandoning the heart and re-examining our life and the philosophical ideas we have accepted can we gain a new life and reshape ourselves.
Zhuangzi's intention is to ask us to abandon our minds, re-examine our lives, and accept Taoist ideas.
Only Taoist doctrine and thought are the true philosophy of life, the philosophy of survival, and the ultimate philosophy of mankind.
Only by accepting the ideas of Taoism can we say goodbye to life like a shadow
