Chapter 96 Dragon Field Enlightenment

In adversity, it is inevitable to have the idea of returning home, but it is actually impossible to retire at this time.

Wang Shouren was silent for a while and said to the two servants, "Have I never thought about this problem? The thought of survival and death was originally the consciousness brought by people from the mother's womb. How can it be easily removed? However, the Doctrine of the Mean says: 'A gentleman does not want to go outside. Plain rich, rich and noble; plain poor, poor and lowly, poor and lowly; plain Yidi, plain, poor and poor; plain hardship, hardship, gentleman has no entry and no self-sufficient. I think I have really understood the meaning of this passage today. I was demoted to this dragon field. It was my own life. There is nothing to regret. If the eum still hates me and wants to send someone to kill me, then just come. I'll wait to die here. In the mountains of Guizhou Longchang, there is no lack of land to bury my Wang Shouren.

He also considered, "Self-considering gains, losses, honor and disgraces can be transcended. Only the thought of life and death has not yet changed." Because of Yan Qin's presence, you can't die if you want to die. Under such circumstances, he asked himself a question: "What else can a saint do?" So, he put a stone coffin and sat in it to eliminate the distracting thoughts of life and death. "Stay silent day and night for silence." This is what he is working hard to control. One night, I suddenly felt "sprinkled in my heart" as if someone was talking to him, so I "understand the purpose of knowledge" and jumped up. It turned out that he realized: "The way of saints is self-sufficient, and those who seek reason from things are wrong!"

Seeing that the master began to realize again, the two servants lay down and slept knowingly, and soon fell asleep. Wang Shouren sat alone on the cotton pad and began his recent daily homework - meditation. Gao Daquan and Wang An's illness recovered, and Wang Shouren felt very relaxed. As for other things, it can be said that they have disappeared since they arrived at the Dragon Field. He couldn't help but think of the past when he was a teenager who went to Gezhu to explore the knowledge of the object, and he couldn't help smiling. On second thought, the principle of "knowing things" is still not thorough, and external physics and self-mind have never been able to go together. He thought that he had no worries in his heart these days, and meditation was also quite skillful. It was better to treat the relationship between physics and my heart as a basic topic during this period. After thinking about it, he meditated on this question in his heart, then completely put it down, completely forgot it, just relaxed into the silence, and entered a hazy state of sleepless...

Gradually, in this silent cave, Wang Shouren felt that his heart was particularly peaceful and quiet enough to integrate with the surrounding environment. When his tranquility reached a certain depth, an experience that had never been seen before appeared. He felt that his body and surroundings were shrinking, so small that it seemed to be as big as a needle eye, and then everything seemed to be silent again. I don't know when this "needle eye" suddenly burst and continued to expand outward, constantly spewing all kinds of stars, clouds, and even mountains and rivers, animals and plants, etc. For a moment, Wang Shouren felt that he had clearly seen all this. His heart was the universe, and the universe was his heart. Everything was clear.

In the face of the surrounding environment, intricate relationships and mixed value systems, he often feels powerless and helpless.

Some people's beliefs collapse like crazy, some people drift with the waves; some people keep the illusory pursuit of drunken life and death, and some people rush left and right to make the pool water more cloudy...

However, reading can no longer calm his mind. He finally understood that the "Tao" that countless talents have been tirelessly seeking throughout their lives is not a great thing, but a spiritual sustenance!

Life can't be gone without understanding anything, can it?

This peace of mind is my family.

Find a home for the wandering soul and find a meaning for living.

I remember that in modern times, he often stopped on the overpass of the Jingtong Expressway and looked around.

Under the bridge are speeding cars and roaring and dusty city railway trains.

The wind is strong, which can add sadness.

He remembered the movie "Death Poetry Society" and Thoreau's verses:

I stepped into the jungle because I want to live a meaningful life and I want to live a deep life.

Absorb all the essence of life and defeat everything that is not life.

In order to avoid the end of his life, he will find that he has never lived.

Indeed, the value of life lies in its ability to reject vulgarity and be brilliant and unrestrained, but it can also lose any meaning in drifting with the tide and become a walking dead.

The difference between people can't be seen from their faces.

It's completely different from the crowd he was in before and after.

When his mind was the most painful and there was no way to go, he tried to explore inward.

When his heart turned to know himself, he found that there were many activities in his heart, wonderful and magnificent. This is a frank world, love to the depth of trance, hate to bite teeth, laugh until flowers and branches tremble, and cry until the vegetation is sad.

He laughed, and he could laugh at why he laughed so boringly.

He cried, and he could cry. Even if he cried to death, no one would pay attention to him.

He immediately understood that his heart could take his own activities as the object, leave his original activities, and start a new activity, and add it to his original activities.

How wonderful!

To put it inferences, he can think about his thinking and his thinking.

Therefore, his and my inner activities are gradually expanded and enriched, growing endlessly, and finally become a towering tree!

However, it is strange that he never seems to find the real subjectivity. When he reflects on his subjectivity, it has become objective; when he reflects on my reflection, it has become objective. Therefore, he felt that the objective self flowed out of an invisible subjectivity, and its source could never be traced, but it stretched tirelessly like a perpetual motion machine, drawing a map of your heart.

The heart can affirm itself, then deny itself, and then affirm another self.

Therefore, it can integrate infinite ideas into several simple concepts;

It can not be limited to what it feels at present, but can understand and expand its meaning;

It can connect with the past, imagine the future, and travel thousands of miles.

There is no limit to the heart.

Realizing this, you can say: I am not a limited existence.

And you absolutely believe that you are not just material. Matter can only be itself, not itself. But you have endless consciousness.

You are not only aware of yourself, but also of everything. Your heart is like a sponge, like a black hole. Once you are conscious, everything outside will inevitably be absorbed and assimilated.

But you still can't be sure, but feel the infinity of yourself in infinite space and endless time.

Why does Lu Jiuyuan dare to say: "My heart is the universe"?

Because the truth is that the universe is endless and the heart is endless.

No matter how disgusting and dirty you are, no matter how despicable and shameless you are, you have sores on your head and pus on your feet. You are also unique, unprecedented and unreplicable.

The universe is not such a universe without you. This loss can never be made up for.

Christians and scientists hold their own words to explain the universe.

Did God create the universe or did it explode with a thunderbolt?

Is it the destruction of the doomsday judgment of the world or the law of thermodynamics destined the fate of the end of the universe?

Where did you come from and where did you go? You can't understand the universe as if sometimes you can't understand yourself.

There is pain because of asking "why". Because there is no faith, I take the "current self" as a means, take the "future self" as the purpose, look forward to the future, calculate the future, and lose the meaning of the present.

You know that there is only one ultimate future - death.

What's more troublesome is that your means and behavior are now common. Only you know your purpose in the future.

Everyone is like this. I can see the means and actions of others, and I don't know the purpose of others.

There are many pedestrians on the street, and everyone has a heart.

However, he can only see their bodies, and their hearts are so unfathomable to him.

Doubt, uneasiness, separation, escape, loneliness.

Wang Shouren suddenly found that his heart had such an original state of harmony between heaven and man, which contained the original mystery of everything. He unconsciously jumped up from the mat and shouted happily, "I see, I see. The way of a saint, I am self-sufficient. I don't have to work hard to find it, and I don't have to work hard anymore!" His shout woke up Gao Daquan and Wang An who had been asleep. The two sat up and asked in surprise and fear, "Sir, what's wrong with you? What's wrong?" Wang Shouren jumped happily for a while before calming down and said, "I'm sorry to bother you. I have nothing to do."

Gao Daquan asked, "Then what are you calling in the middle of the night?"

Wang Shouren was still happy and said, "Just now, when I was sitting in a meditation, I had a new understanding of the way of knowing the saint's character and objects. I was happy and forgot it for a while."

Gao Daquan said, "Oh, that's right. Sir, you scared us just now.

Wang An muttered, "We are just sick. What if the master is crazy again? They all read the books of saints.

Gao Daquan said angrily, "Ok! Wang An, sleep with you." After saying that, he also turned around and lay down.

After Wang Shouren waited for the two servants to lie down, he was sleepless and sat up on the cotton pad. Soon, he entered the state of unity of heaven and man, and realized his bright and harmonious mind again. This time took much less than the first sudden enlightenment. He no longer doubted, so he lay down and slept. After a while, he fell asleep...

When he woke up the next morning, he found that the two servants were still sleeping. He simply sat on the ground and just closed his eyes slightly, but in an instant, he entered that quiet, refreshing and comfortable state. Within a moment, he felt his bright and harmonious spiritual essence. Wang Shouren made it clear that this is by no means an accidental peak experience of his soul. He has truly realized the innate essence of the soul and has steadily and repeatedly mastered the skill of entering the innate holy realm. At this moment, his heart has put down any persistence, no joy or annoyance, but only peace and comfort. Wang Shouren stood up and walked out of the cave. At this time, the red morning sun had risen, and a glow just shone on Wang Shouren's body, making his whole body look golden. Wang Shouren whispered to the sky, "God, thank you for not letting me come to the dragon field for nothing."

There is no one in the empty mountain, the water is flowing and flowers are blooming, the eternal sky is long, and there is a wind and moon! At this moment, it will be eternal!
