See this issue, I think a straight man, a lifetime refining the heart of man. He is the founder of the Mind - Wang Yangming. He founded the Mind of time before, I've been pondering the story.
Then Wang Yangming, has been walking. His departure from Nanjing, has been go west, go south.
His destination was Guizhou.
"Journey to the West", the image of the West is full of ghosts and goblins, difficulties and obstacles. At that time, Guizhou, Badlands, the western spine of the public forests, which snakes scorpion swim fabric. Residents are Hmong, the language barrier, as well as hostility. Wang Yangming is the place to go. He journeyed when the heart is at a loss to destination.
His destination was his being demoted place. At this time, Wang Yangming 34 years old, was originally a talented young officials. His 28-year-old in the Scholars, the Seven Poets in the front-and-coming writers. Not only that, he also learned the art of war, practiced riding and shooting, familiar with Buddhism and Taoism, yearned sages. Just a political instability, high-spirited break his career. Masanori first year, the eunuch Liu Jin good at politics, officials stand in defiance, flogging was demoted, including Wang Yangming. Disappointed with the political situation, as well as the fate of the helpless, he started being demoted trip. The journey to your destination is not smooth, Wang Yangming road also hunted, disguised himself before jumping into a river to escape unharmed.
Compared to human persecution, more depressed and alone. South, vast land gradually less village or person's breath, everything is vast expanse of tracks. The rugged wilderness, lonely reaches full extent. He made a high fever, even in a moribund state, the discourse of philosophers frequently appear in his nightmares. When he woke up from a nightmare, humble thatch is so intimate, familiar. Sunset slowly faded, fever also receded the most. Tomorrow morning, the smell of chicken sound vaguely, marching with cream Itabashi, he must embark on a new journey.
It was the endless road, a little bit of life on the road disappeared. Bai said, "Heaven and Earth who, all things Nilv; time who EMI's passing." Ren is time and space travelers. He did not know in what direction the specific destination, but then the consciousness has been walked on. Where exactly leading to the front? What is grave? Wang Yang is clearly seen the shadow of death. Three travelers walked beside him in the rainy dark, when the line to the near distant hillside. There, a person has died and two people cry; another died, one sigh; three plot dead until the next slope. Wang Yangming Qingnanzijin, wrote "bury brigade text." "And are native of Seoul from Xi, words do not know each other pretty people Come. Of life can not be! ... Can take the text and purple Biao Chi Xi, Tang Look Homeward, and Xu Xi Xi Xi .... Avenue of numerous mass graves, Turkey's multi-displacement Xi, Xi phase sped wandering. "He died before the rest, and Wang Yangming did not reach the finish line, the road goes.
The road is so distant unexpected, ending never-ending and hopeless. The world is absurd, life has no meaning. No one to comfort Wang Yangming. He can only bear the cold lonely world. He wanted to Zhang Hao, "like a wounded wolf, howling late at night when in the wilderness, badly hurt cocktail of anger and sorrow." But the lonely journey no one would understand their feelings, Wang Yangming it only with the death of mocking the absurd world? On the road, hope turned to despair, despair became false. In the depths of false, even despair has become ridiculous. At this time, people can truly abandon fame and wealth. A midnight sleep, he leaps from stone, he said: sage, my sexual self . This is the Dragon field enlightenment.
He realized what?
Wang Yangming young "early learning injustice of being addicted, addicted again riding and shooting practice, the three being addicted to study rhetoric, the four gods of being addicted to learning, five being addicted to the habit Fred." He is a school day Bo, the heart is confused I do not know the return. Although he imitation of Zhu Xi Ge Wu said, the effort had bamboo lattice, eventually fell ill and nothing. Wang Yangming British Gas have enough, talented enough, savvy enough, missing just quietly look at their inner time. In such a dangerous and lonely environment, he was able to accumulate a little bit of heart to abandon fame, is no longer on Yao and Shun, is no longer officialdom proud, poetry is no longer making friends. All the pros and cons of honor have switched detached. A little, but the ultimate meaning of life perception of the poor. In his words, "but the life and death of an idea not yet sleep."
So Wang Yangming Cheng silent night, make great efforts to face the heart. Eventually he came to realize that, no longer see the hearts from the outside, but from the heart to see the world.
Ancient Chinese scholars, to appease their inner way is through health Taoist and Buddhist meditation. Just a simple Buddhist cultivation methods, one can only Xinrusihui, shaped like dead wood, but heart shaped condensate release, made with all of the offerings together. Neo-Confucianism pursuit of a higher realm, Heaven, unity of all things. This means that a Confucian sage's heart, should contain all things, and command of all things.
Wang Yangming aspire to, this is the road sage. He is no shortage of diligent practice, no shortage of ambition, lack is how to integrate their own inner strength. This requires that the power of inclusion and focused. In the words of psychodynamic now, it is empathy and suspension. The so-called empathy, that is, the ability to empathize, we can accept other people's feelings, but remain neutral, not to judge. The so-called floating state, that desire no memory of the state to maintain state of mind at the time of the original mind did not move, they are always ready to deal with everything.
Interestingly, both capabilities is also necessary for counselors. Receive visitors when the counselor must first learn to listen, to accept his feelings intact, without any subjective evaluation. Ideal listening, both concerned with the content of speech convey visitors, but also noted that peripheral information visitors, it is necessary to focus on the emotional content of the visitor's narrative, but also the emotional world of the visitors keep their distance. Such psychological type to listen to, while maintaining admissibility when empathy, sensitivity while maintaining the suspension, more subtle and neutral attitude.
This has the ability to listen to the heart is not easy, it can be described as an ideal state counselors. I was in the Neo-Confucianism everyone who increasingly feel this pursuit. From this perspective, the ancient Confucian scholar in pursuit of their own self-cultivation, but also become their counselors. This means, find and integrate their inner strength, learn to see the world with his heart .
How to see the world from the heart?
The first is an in view of therapy. We are looking forward to the future, the past has remorse. The chaos plaguing us now. Vipassana is no longer entangled in the long history of consciousness have thoughts, now touching experience: breathing, touch, temperature, mood. We were used to comply with every mood, let it be, let it go, no longer trying to catch the emotional attachment. Emotional perceptiveness, every change, be sensitive, stay focused and let the power of self can Seiichi.
Followed by a narrative therapy. We live in the world, under pressure from environmental choice, but also the desire of self-initiation of the narrative. The story of our lives, reflecting our desire, our difficulties and our struggle. Every struggle, we have had expectations, there have been disappointed, but in the end through the heart of the integration, operation and self-attributed Road, constructed from my meaning. Understanding and efforts stories conflict, it is necessary to create a sense of self, but also to rewrite the story of our lives. With the new self-life stories, we not only adapt to the environment, but also to be more powerful, and people realize the physical blend.
Heart and Principle of the membrane once opened up, life and the world will have a new meaning. Comprehend the meaning of life the world over and, personally also have to fulfill to support the conviction. This is the unity of knowledge. Wang Yangming have read thousands of books, traveling thousands of miles way. Knowing and unity but still owes heart guide only. Wang's energy is used to forge this heart.
Mind practice as "Journey to the West" metaphor: the beginning of the monkey mind is distracted, like Pig in the same envy earthly fame and fortune, only repent and be saved, like a monk, like perseverance, as hard working as Drifting, after Hong eighty-one difficult, will fruition. Such a new hero has a chic, they have Walker's tough.
"No good no nausea of the body, there is good of malicious action, known known bad good conscience, nature of things to be good to bad" This four poems Yangming summarized by three words: the Conscience. With the heart of the effort and body line, Wang Yangming will embark on a new journey: the opening lecture, disciples, sweeping Bu Kou, Nanjing Ping Fan, Liyan, meritorious conduct.
Finally, Wang Yangming come to the end - the road, but also in life. When a student asked him what the last words, he pointed to his heart: this bright heart, What else statement!
