What is the unity of heaven and man? What is the unity of heaven and man?

"Harmony between man and nature" is an important concept in Chinese philosophy, emphasizing the harmonious coexistence of man and nature. It expresses a state in which man becomes one with his natural environment and achieves a state of self-forgetfulness. In this realm, people no longer distinguish themselves from their surroundings, but interact with nature to achieve a state of harmony.

This state is not static, but requires constant effort to achieve. Therefore, the realm of "harmony between man and nature" can be regarded as an ideal state, the goal of human beings to pursue harmonious coexistence with nature.

The unity of heaven and man, the integration with all things, and the integration into the void is the realm of selflessness.

At this time, you can achieve the "lawlessness" and "omnipotence" that the true Buddha said, transcend the Three Realms, and live and die freely.

The four words of the unity of heaven and man have actually made the realm of the unity of heaven and man very clear. Heaven and man are one, you are the sky, and the sky is you.

Man and heaven and earth cannot be separated. If a man leaves the heavens, he will perish himself. Notice that it's not death, it's death, because the matter and consciousness that make up ourselves come from heaven and earth, and if we leave heaven, our body and even our consciousness will return to heaven and earth, and we will not exist at all.

In the same way, if the heavens leave me, the heavens will also perish, because the heavens exist because of my existence.

Mr. Yang Ming said that "there is nothing outside the heart" and "there is no reason outside the heart". On the one hand, it means that matter does not exist independently of our mind, but on the other hand, it does not mean that "matter" exists in our mind. The same is true of "reason", which does not mean that "reason" exists in my heart, but that I am the mind, the mind is the object, the thing is the reason, and the mind, me, matter, and reason are four in one.

Therefore, Mr. Yang Ming has the saying that "the heart is reason". This is the unity of heaven and man, and it is also Mr. Yangming's original intention.

This is because human desires and delusions make people lose themselves and turn their original minds into discriminating minds, which, according to the Buddha, are "self-like, human, sentient beings, and long-lived."

The generation of discriminating minds separates the heavens and the man, but this separation is a false separation, not a true separation, because if it is true separation, as I said earlier, both "me" and "heaven" will perish.

In order to break through the mystery and obstacle and reunite heaven and man, we need to cultivate, to explore the falsehood and see the truth. Therefore, the unity of heaven and man is the return of our life, the rediscovery of our original abilities.

In this process, the realm of the unity of heaven and man can be roughly divided into three levels:

The first level is the induction of heaven and man, that is, you can sense and "see" what the sky can do. Therefore, we can sense and recognize the past, present, and future of all things in the universe. This is what Confucius called "silent and immovable, feeling and passing", which is the basis of Zhou Yi**, and even various ** methods and personal cultivation.

Confucius was probably at this level.

The third level is the unity of man and heaven, people stand above the sky, outside the sky, not only passively conform to the way of heaven and sense the way of heaven, but also to actively manipulate the way of heaven, and even create the way of heaven, and then let the way of heaven run according to their own requirements and ideas, which is the real "do nothing and do nothing". I think Lao Tzu should have touched this level back then, but he may not have really reached this level yet.

These three levels can be expressed as Yingtian, Shuntian and Yutian respectively. But you and I mortals, even Yingtian didn't do it, and the later Shuntian and Yutian had to think about it, just as a whisper in the fantasy**.

The above is a personal opinion, communicate with friends**.

"The unity of heaven and man" is a Chinese philosophical thought, and Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism and other schools have their own expositions. Heaven refers to the sky, also refers to the way of heaven, and also refers to the avenue of nature. The unity of heaven and man mostly refers to the realm of "heaven and earth are born together with me, and all things are one with me", and it also refers to the unity of heaven and man.

Man is a part of nature, so Zhuangzi said: "If there are people, heaven is also; There is a sky, and there is also a sky", heaven and man are one. However, due to the formulation of various rules and regulations and moral norms, people have lost their original natural nature and become out of harmony with nature.

The purpose of man's cultivation is to "abandon wisdom without sacredness", to break down these barriers imposed on people, to liberate human nature, to return to nature, and to achieve a spiritual realm in which "all things are one with me".

The natural concept of "mutual benefit between heaven and man" refers to the normal relationship between heaven and man, and between man and nature, which is a stable and peaceful, harmonious and beautiful relationship between man and nature, that is, the community relationship of the unity of heaven and man. It dialectically expounds the order of heaven and man, the relationship of tolerance, the principle of harmony, the law of moderation and the law of change. Emphasizing people's subjective initiative, calling for people's self-discipline and reflection, and awakening people's moral conscience.

"Heaven and man mutual" is a modern dialectical philosophical concept, which is an evolution and variation on the basis of the ancient simple philosophical thought of "the unity of heaven and man". In practice, it is of practical value and future significance to discuss what kind of ideal relationship between heaven and man should be, and how human beings should maintain a harmonious relationship with the natural world.

The general principle of communication between man and heaven is: seek the same qi and correspond to the same kind. If you go with it, you will be good, and if you go against it, you will be harmful.

Huainanzi Spiritual Training" said:"Heaven and earth are connected, and all things are one"。"Connected to each other"It refers to the interconnectedness in the process of movement, rather than the structural relationship in static space.

All in all"It refers to the homogeneity of the mode of motion, rather than the homogeneity of the structure of matter.

That is, the connotation of the unity of heaven and man mainly refers to human actions"Small universe"How to correspond to the great universe of heaven and earth, among them, the isomorphism of man and heaven is the most superficial level of the concept of the unity of heaven and man, the same image of man and heaven and the same kind is the concrete embodiment of the idea of taking images and analogies, and the same number of man and heaven is the correspondence of man and the weather and mathematics. In short, this is an analogy between the life process and its mode of movement and the laws of nature, and it is a systematic theory based on the laws of nature and the laws of human affairs.
