How to understand Wang Shouren s study of the heart ?

The heart is reason, benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith are also the essence of Chinese culture, the heart of the science of the exposition of the heavenly principle, to the idea of human desire, here to go is not to remove the meaning, but to retreat and seek peace, the idea of the mean: Gewu, Zhizhi, sincerity, righteousness, self-cultivation, Qi family, governing the country, and leveling the world. And Wang Yangming's thoughts:

There is no good and no disgusting body, there are good and malicious movements, knowing good and knowing evil is conscience, and doing evil for good is a thing. He taught us that there is no good or evil in the essence of the mind, and that if there is good and evil, the mind is shaking, and that when we know the good thoughts, we also know the evil thoughts, and we get rid of the evil thoughts and keep the good thoughts. It shows that the person at this time has learned the knowledge and knows its importance as well as the internal and external principles.

What Wang Yangming taught us is to study things, and in the mean, things to learn, sincerity, and righteousness belong to the inside; Self-cultivation, family, governance, and peace in the world belong to the outside. Wang Yangming is the king who taught us to be the inner saint and the outer king, it is the poor who are good alone, and the good are good to the world.

Wang Yangming's "study of the heart" is the "study of adults" in the traditional "University", the "study of the sacred" that sanctifies people, and in layman's terms, "how to become a big man with the power of the heart?" "Same purpose as the I Ching. It belongs to the system of Confucianism's theory of mind.

It is also a knowledge that allows people to return to their innate nature. In Li Zhen's words, it is to find back the "innocent childlike innocence" and live freely! The source of its thought is Mencius's "conscience and conscience", the idea that heaven and earth and all things are one.

Later, Zhang Zai's ideas of "people and things" and "big hearts" were absorbed by Xinxue, and finally formed a complete system of mind in Lu Jiuyuan's hands, "My heart is the universe, and the universe is my heart", focusing on the cultivation of "virtue". ‍‍

Wang Yangming's heart study is to stand on the shoulders of the former sages and collect their masterpieces, which is "to establish a heart for heaven and earth, to establish a life for life, to continue to learn for the saints, and to open peace for all generations!" "It is a vigorous Neo-Confucianism that is different from Cheng Zhu Lixue! It is a pity that many of us are drowning in the garbage pit of Western mechanical materialism, obsessed with fame and fortune, gluttonous and sleepy, and cannot transcend it, and play with the myth of "Sisyphus" pushing "dung balls" up the mountain in the "fragrant dung mountain", and do not understand what "sacred learning" is.

Material desires cannot be overcome, and it is difficult for the study of the mind to play its transcendent function of sacred learning! ‍‍

Yang Mingxin's science is broad and profound, and we need to slowly appreciate its strength, and we need to know and act together in our daily work and life.

1. Knowing things, eliminating evil for good, and constantly honing our hearts, our hearts will naturally become stronger. In our complex specific affairs to forge their own psychological quality, so that the movement is fixed, Mount Tai collapsed in front of the unchanged color, the elk is happy in the left and the eyes are not instantaneous, so as to be calm and calm, correct response, and finally enter the realm of "not moving". ‍‍

The highest state of Yangming Mind is to point directly to the human heart and become a Buddha by seeing nature, that is, everything touches the conscience, does not forget the original intention, returns to the original point and asks the original question, and it is easier to gain insight into the essential laws of things. This heart does not move, it moves randomly.

It is clear, as if it does not move. Wang Yangming, like Huineng, has cultivated a great wisdom that is simple and easy, so he can respond to all changes with the same, and the gentleman will do everything. ‍‍

The science of mind belongs to the science of governing the world, not the study of creation, and to this day, it is still not a formal science, but the principle of its origin, the structure of biological neurothought, but all of them are in harmony with the heart, so far science can not explain the function of the heart and the brain at all, but this does not affect the understanding and application of Yangming psychology. After Confucius and Mencius, the study was interrupted for a thousand years, until Wang Yangming picked it up again, but it could not be continued because of the lack of soil. In ancient times, the creation of the world, the governance of the world was dynamic, and the doctrines were also different, and there were many others, and one could not be sufficient.

Knowing this, the difference between the three religions, the existence of the three religions, and the order of the three religions are clear.

Mental understanding: People should have their own ideas, know what they want most, and act according to their own ideas. Being assertive and having confidence is knowing.

Be true to your inner thoughts to act, if you can't take into account all aspects, then the two benefits are the lesser of the two evils. Whatever obstacle it is, remove it. That's the line.

In this way, people will not look ahead, will not hesitate, and will not give up halfway. Knowing, departing from the line, is empty, aimless, and meaningless. Walking, detached from knowledge, is blind, easy to deviate, and will eventually detach from the original heart.

There is a purpose as the direction in the front, and an idea as a help in the back. The unity of knowledge and action can achieve twice the result with half the effort. Fame, fortune and power are not the purpose of life, but a tool that must be used to achieve the ultimate goal.

There is no goodness and no disgusting body. This sentence expresses the world view, through the dragon field enlightenment, Wang Yangming realized: the heart is reason, no good and no evil is the most natural state of the heart, is the essence of the heart, and then expresses that all things in heaven and earth should also be free of good and no evil.

If a person's heart is covered by selfish desires, then there is a distinction between good and evil at the level of his consciousness, and after having good and evil, he is unwilling to go evil for good, then his outlook on life is distorted. ‍‍

A person needs to not only use his conscience to strengthen his will, but also need to have the courage to increase his knowledge and ability in the process of practicing things, and gain insight into the essential laws of things. In terms of appealing to people's conscience, they do everything they can, including all kinds of thick black arts. Conscience is often synonymous with incompetence, and conscience alone is not enough.

Therefore, for ordinary people, Yang Ming Mind is at most just a fight for chicken blood, and it cannot fundamentally improve your wisdom. ‍‍

Wang Shouren's psychology can be roughly divided into two steps, the first is the unity of knowledge and action, for example, everyone knows that smoking is harmful to the body, knowing is one thing, but many people are unwilling to quit. Wang Shouren's psychology is basically that I know that I can take the initiative to quit smoking, that is, I can get rid of the utopian fantasy and advocate practicing it. Since the Song Dynasty, there has been a strange remark among Chinese literati who have destroyed human desires by preserving heavenly principles, that is, pursuing the most holy way through a series of behaviors and speeches that violate human nature, but as a result, they simply can't do it, and they have also made a bunch of hypocrites of false Taoism.

In this case, Wang Shouren proposed to move as he pleased, which to put it bluntly was to oppose those false Taoisms with empty heads and brains.

Confucianism, Confucius and Mencius, Cheng Zhu, Yang Ming, understand, there is no complicated mystery. Wang Shouren does not deny the theory of sexual evil, in fact, he believes that human nature is both good and evil, and of course, there is a quantitative difference between individual nature. So, how do you make people go from evil to good?

One is education, and the other is the rule of law. As far as education is concerned, the most important thing is sincerity, that is, a genuine desire to learn well. It is to occupy the moral high ground, to dominate oneself, and to educate the people.

And this is all the ideological aspect, the spiritual realm of kung fu knowledge, in fact, that is"Psychology".

Wang Shouren has a fundamental view that the basis of reason lies in the heart, it is subjective, and there is no need to seek things from outside. There is an element of mysticism to this hypothesis. The relationship between mind and matter is a fundamental topic in philosophy, and in order to solve this problem in modern times, we cannot rely solely on speculation and fantasy, but must combine the achievements of psychology.

When we set up the concept of mind and matter, and think about the relationship between the two, we cannot start from these two concepts alone, we need to examine the actual natural phenomena and their connections. ‍‍

People are like a piece of ore, through learning, polishing, and modification, they become distinctive. Wang Yangming's psychology has grasped a fundamental: purity.

Pure, don't care about catties. A piece of gold with a purity of 100%, even if it is a penny, and a piece of gold with a purity of 50%, even if it is a ton, from the perspective of mind, that piece of gold with a purity of 100% is the highest grade, and it is the foundation of why a sage is a sage.

The study of mind is indeed remarkable, it is the culmination of Confucianism, Taoism and interpretation, and as far as ordinary people are concerned, I prefer the learning method of 'practicing on things'. In today's society, it is difficult to survive if the only thing in your heart is good. This is true for one person, and even more so for a nation.

There is nothing outside the heart, knowledge is learned, and knowledge and action are one" The philosophy of self-cultivation and self-cultivation!

Seek from within. Sincerity and sincerity, the realm of inner sainthood.

If you really know the unity of knowledge and action, and learn from things, you will understand that Wang Yangming's original intention is that there is no good and no disgusting body, that knowing good and knowing the movement of evil, that it is conscience to be good and not evil, and that it is good to go to evil and to go to evil.

It is an academic book that can open up the heart.

As long as it's easy to use. The closest to actual combat is also the easiest to detect. Completely different from the ultimate view of other theories.

It does not participate in the battle at all, and is directly handed over to the general public, so that everyone knows according to the theory, continues to learn and practice, and slowly reaches a high level. How big your heart is, how strong your will can be. Unlike other theories, you can only use them if you understand them, but you will slowly understand them when you use them.

Know good and evil, know choices, but don't send out thoughts of good and evil......

Thoughts, will produce aura.

Cats have cat paths, dogs have dog paths, eight immortals cross the sea, the goal is the same, each has its own way, its own development law.

Matter in the mind, like two values of a function!

The main contents of Wang Shouren's theory of mind: 1. The heart is reason: the heart is the universe, there is nothing outside the heart, and reason is the law in the universe.

2. Unity of knowledge and action: Only by unifying "knowledge" and "action" can it be called "good". 3. To the conscience:

To achieve conscience is to achieve the knowledge of things, the unity of knowledge and action, and the realization of conscience in practical actions.

The main content of Yang Ming Psychology.

Yang Ming Mind includes the combination of heart and reason, knowledge and action.

1. Core concepts such as conscience. Its main contents are as follows: 1. The heart is reason

That is, "there is nothing outside the heart", "there is no reason outside the heart", and "heart" is the supreme master of all things, and it is also the most universal ethical and moral principle. 2. The epistemology of "the unity of knowledge and action": the truth of knowing things is inseparable from practice.

3. The cultivation theory of learning from things: learning from things, so as to expand the promotion of conscience to everything and things. Yang Ming Psychology emphasizes the integration of theory and practice.

1. The unity of subject and object and the unity of inner saint and outer king.

To conscience is the main theme of Wang Shouren's psychology. Wang Shouren believes that "Zhizhi" is to the inner conscience of our heart, which is not only moral consciousness, but also refers to the highest ontology. "To conscience" is to extend conscience to everything and things, that is, the process of integrating conscious knowledge and pushing knowledge and action.

Therefore, "to conscience" is the unity of knowledge and action, and it is necessary to achieve knowledge from things. "To conscience" is the manifestation of the direct unity of Wang Shouren's ontology and self-cultivation.

1. The main content of Wang Shouren's psychology is: Wang Yangming's psychology inherits Lu Jiuyuan's emphasis on "heart is reason", and opposes Cheng Yi and Zhu Xi's pursuit of "truth" through things and things. Knowledge must be manifested as action, and if it is not done, it cannot be regarded as true knowledge.

2. The heart is the universe, and the universe is boundless. Where the heart reaches, the reason goes with the heart. Without reason, the mind cannot exist.

If reason is separated from the heart, reason has nothing to rely on. Deeply understand that "heart is reason", and the relationship between heart and reason is the basis for the introduction of mind. The heart is the heart, and reason is the reason.

Wang Shouren's philosophical thoughts:

1. The relationship between conscience and mind, matter, and reason.

Things can only become things in the intentionality of conscience, things can only have reason in the unity of conscience, and the human heart can distinguish between good and evil only under the action of conscience.

2. The body and use of conscience.

1) The body of conscience. Everyone has the body of conscience, the body of conscience is silent, and the body of conscience is neither good nor evil.

2) The use of conscience. The use of conscience is present in seeing and hearing, and the use of conscience is to know good and evil.

3) The body of conscience is indispensable.

3. How to "to conscience".

1) To the conscience is to remove the obscure.

2) To the conscience of things, things, things.

3) To temper one's conscience.

4) To conscience is the unity of knowledge and action.

The core of Wang Shouren's thought:

The idea that the heart is the reason" opposes Cheng Yi and Zhu Xi's pursuit of the "truth" method of "learning from things" through things and things, because things are endless, and the grid is inevitably tiring, so he advocates "to conscience" and seeks "reason" from his own heart, and "reason" is all in people's "heart", and "reason" incarnates all things in the universe, heaven and earth, and people hold their delicate spirit, so people's hearts hold their essence.
