"Senior revealed to me his views on Tianzun's views on beauty, ugliness, good and evil, which also greatly shocked me.
I remember what he said: the gate of all wonders is known to the world. What is beautiful is evil, everyone knows it; what is good is good, if it is not good, good is dead. What surprised me here is that the predecessors put the last sentence "the gate of all wonders" in the first chapter of the Tao Te Ching in the first sentence of this passage. I don't know why. This sentence is equally shocking. But the meaning of this passage was not stingy that day, the senior explained it to me a little bit, and I will also say it to my descendants here. The senior said that in this sentence, you need to understand the two key words '结' and '已'. He explained that '急' means 'ha', which means the perfect tense; The meaning of time, the dead is to understand later. In short, the meaning of this sentence is probably to say that 'everyone in the world can know the secret door of everything. Whether everyone's actions are beautiful or evil, everyone will know immediately after the action is over, and whether everyone's actions are good or bad, will not be known until everyone wakes up after the action is over. 'Simply put, it is to explain the truth of 'beauty and ugliness are easy to distinguish, good and evil are difficult to distinguish'. Although I still have reservations about his punctuation, I can listen to this passage very well, and it really speaks to my heart. No matter so much, I admire the senior and his old man on this point.

The senior asked me that day, do you still remember the Three Treasures of Tianzun (that is, the honorific name of Lao Tzu)? I am very familiar with this, and I also do things according to the Three Jewels of Tianzun, so I can forget it. I just said, "I have three treasures, keep and protect them: one is kindness, the other is frugality, and the third is not daring to be the first in the world." Compassion leads to courage, frugality leads to broadness, and daring not to be the first leads to success.'
The senior said: 'Let me correct it for you, compare it yourself, which one is easy to use and which one to use. 'As soon as I heard that I needed to be corrected, I immediately regained my spirits, thinking that he would not make another shocking statement this time. Sure enough, it seems that every time the senior doesn't say something that is not shocking.
'I have three treasures, keep and protect them: one is compassion, the other is frugality, and the third is not. Dare to be the first in the world, because of compassion, you can be brave; if you are thrifty, you can be broad; '
The senior also told me that among the three treasures of Tianzun, he values the third treasure the most.
... Another conversation, I would like to thank the senior, his information played a vital role in my re-understanding of a famous saying of Tianzun, my favorite famous saying of Tianzun is 'When misfortune comes, blessings depend on it, blessings come Doomed. 'In the past, I just liked it very much, but I didn't understand it deeply. This time, under the guidance of my seniors, I came to my senses, thanks to the following words from my seniors:
Its government is boring, its people are honest and honest; its government is inspected, and its people are lacking. Misfortune is where blessings rest, and blessings are where misfortune lies. Who knows its extreme, its nothing. Righteousness and righteousness turn into wonders, goodness and goodness turn into monsters; people's obsessions are said to last for a long time. Therefore, the sage is square but not cut, honest but not rough, straight but not sloppy, and bright but not dazzling.
Perhaps people in the future will ask, why do you want to thank your predecessors? These are the original words of Tianzun. Careful future generations may find that there is a change in this sentence. Please see the original surname:
Its government is boring, its people are honest and honest; its government is inspected, and its people are lacking. Misfortune is where blessings rest, and blessings are where misfortune lies. Who knows its extreme, its injustice. Righteousness turns into wonder, goodness turns back into demon; people's obsession is said to last for a long time. Therefore, the sage is square but not cut, honest but not rough, straight but not sloppy, and bright but not dazzling.
In the words of the predecessors, "whatever you know is the best, and what you don't have." Righteousness turns into wonder, and kindness turns into a monster; "traditional preaching words" who knows that it is extremely unrighteous, rightness turns into wonder, and kindness turns into a monster; "The reason why I am not surprised this time is that the words of my predecessors made me feel natural. It reminds me of a very old saying; 'Truth one step ahead is a fallacy. ' and the truth of 'too much is too much'. The meaning of "zhengzheng" shows that "although it is good to be right, it may not be a good thing if it is right again." ' This also just reveals that 'misfortune rests on blessings, and fortune rests on misfortunes. ' assertion. "
... The senior said, "Li Ao, you may not understand the four words 'the sage has nothing'. Then try to experience it with another uncontroversial sentence said by Tianzun, and maybe you will understand something. It's safe and easy to hold, and it's easy to seek when it's not in sight; it's fragile and easy to shake, and it's easy to scatter. Do it for the unexisted, and rule it for the unchaotic." There is no controversy about this sentence. In the unexisting, rule in the unchaos', then the unexisted and the unchaotic are both not happening yet? Is this just 'nothing'?" Gradually, I gradually understood a little bit, although it is not yet fully understood. clear. But I'm not in a hurry, it's still some days before I realize the way of heaven.
During the sixth exchange, the seniors tried to explain the meaning of "Tao, born one by one" for me, but after listening to it, I still half understood. The predecessors told me that "Tao begets one" conveys the message to people that Tao only gives birth to one, and it will give birth to two again and again. This is a one-sided understanding. And the message "Tao, begets one by one" is that Tao generates one after another, and the message to be conveyed here is that each one is born of Dao and is equal.
"Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, three begets all things." "Tao, give birth to one and one, give birth to two and two, give birth to three and three, and give birth to all things." It is the birth of double lines. This is the first time I hear it.
In the seventh meeting, my predecessors removed a stumbling block for me in reading the Tao Te Ching. I am very happy. I have always been somewhat disgusted with the foolish policy advocated by the clansmen. Well [***] the Tao Te Ching teaches people what is bad, insisting on telling people to be stupid, what a shame it is, the whole Han people have become stupid, so how can the country develop. In this meeting with my senior, I directly raised this question to him, deliberately making things difficult for him. I'd like to see what he has to say. This time the senior said, "You have raised this question very well. To be honest, I don't like the word stupid. To put it bluntly, everyone wants to be a smart person, who wants to be a stupid person. Since ancient times, the Tao Te Ching has been explained. There are as many people as cow hairs, but there are still many people who are explaining now are singing praises for the word Tianzun, which is actually misleading. I think Tianzun is also very disgusted with this stupid word." This is exactly what I mean, but it is very disturbing. I am confused, I only know that the god of heaven is against wisdom, but I have never heard that the god of heaven is against ignorance. It's not like the seniors are fooling people.
I could tell from the next words that the senior was not fooling people. He said, "Although Tianzun also dislikes the word stupid, he also advocated the idea of 'not to enlighten the people, but to use stupidity', just like King Goujian of Yue said. Goujian, the king of Yue, knew the pain of bile and had to taste it every day. The experience is the will Tianzun's idea of "not to enlighten the people, but to use foolishness" is exactly why Tianzun is beyond the wisdom of ordinary people. Tianzun wants to remind people to understand their stupidity, so that they can think and learn, Awakening from within to gain wisdom. Tianzun’s claim is that the Taoist moves in reverse. Tianzun understands that to get a good result, you must start from its opposite, that is, start with dealing with bad things to get good results. This does not mean that Tianzun praises bad things. things, and against good things. This concept is something that we must correct when we understand the thought of Tianzun. I nodded repeatedly.
The last time my predecessors told me is, "Tao can be wrong, constant way; name can be called wrong, constant name." 'This is the summary of his views by the predecessors, and it is also the general outline of Tianzun's writing of the Tao Te Ching that he discovered.
It is the so-called unfavorable weather, unfavorable land, discord between people, and disloyal words. Now is not the time to reveal some key issues. I tell the juniors: Don't be obsessed with the seniors, the seniors are just legends in the future; don't try to blame anything, I just make my Li Ao's juniors responsible!
If this story makes you realize something, I hope you will think about it more; if this story inspires you, I hope you will think about it often; if this story disturbs your thinking, then you don’t have to read it anymore!
People in the world are like this, just as Tianzun said: When a senior officer hears the Tao, he will practice it diligently; His analysis method is exactly the theory of the Book of Changes, which he told me personally, and he once showed me his diagram of the Book of Changes. But definitely not what we call Zhouyi. Although the Book of Changes is the Book of Changes, we know that there are three major Books of Changes in ancient Chinese legends, namely Lian San Yi (also known as Lian Shan Yi), Gui Zang Yi and Zhou Yi. The picture of the Book of Changes shown to me by the senior, he called it the Book of Heaven, and claimed to be the earliest Book of Changes that had been lost for a long time - Lian Sanyi. As for whether what he said was Lian Sanyi, I don’t know, but I saw it, and I couldn’t understand it at first. After what he said, I felt that what he said made sense, as if it really was the same thing. The feeling that this book gives me is that if it is complicated, it is extremely complicated, and if it is simple and simple, it can be said to be as big as the sky, and as small as the package. In fact, the heavenly book he was talking about was really worthy of being called a heavenly book. There was not a single word on it, it was full of dots, circles and horizontal lines. The senior also told me that the Tianzun Tao Te Ching he comprehended is the instruction manual of his heavenly book. I don't believe this. But still saw a point.
Tell the younger generation, you have not seen his so-called heavenly book (I call it a heavenly map), if you have seen it, you will gradually understand the principles of his sentence sentences. Because from his celestial book, one can see at a glance the "Tao, the law that produces one one, two two, three three, and all things." 'a feeling of. Obviously, three-year-olds can see it, so they don't need to spend a long time summing up from the Book of Changes, and finally have to wonder if their results are like this. "
