Essay: Pride, Prejudice, and Right View, Radish/Photography
The author has not read the book " Pride and Prejudice ". I don’t plan to watch it yet.
mentioned the title of the book because he thought the author used words well.
Arrogance produces deep prejudice, and prejudice accumulates into even more ignorant arrogance.
An arrogant person will run slowly in a race. An arrogant person will run with his head raised, his belly raised, his eyes raised, and his nostrils pointing towards the sky.
A humble person will bow his body and head forward... It is said that if the resistance is small, he will definitely run fast.
Prejudicial people never think that their views are prejudice. They will accuse everyone in the world who has different opinions or opinions from them. Whether explicitly or implicitly, tell people who think differently from them that those who think differently are really wrong... Have fun doing it and stick to your guns! ...and never tire of it...
Is there really any prejudice or right view in this world?
If you read the "Tao Te Ching" or " Diamond Sutra "... Well, it seems that there is no such thing as "seeing" or "not seeing". Lao Tzu and Buddha talked about "seeing but not seeing" - "Treat everyone equally"! It does not matter.
Arrogant people can easily show off their flaws. Their half-empty, half-empty behavior can be easily seen by others.
Prejudice is often somewhat obscure and somewhat intangible. Many of the things we thought were truths turned out to be more like fallacies after listening to them for a long time!
Prejudice, those paranoid opinions, the problem often does not come from opinions, but from our paranoia.
The "golden mean" mentioned by Confucianism does not tell people that they should always follow the "middle road" of "compromise" or live a "mediocre" life - Confuciushis old man always reminds us... our intolerance , our stubbornness, our excess, our imbalance, our arrogance, our hostility, our complaints, our grievances... In fact, they all come from not paying attention to one's own knowledge and cultivation, and not seriously exploring society. The laws and rules, as well as those "moderate" cautious words and deeds that only he can accomplish...
The reason why Confucius can be "unprejudiced", in the author's opinion, is only related to what he can achieve by "self-discipline, no intention, no intention." It must be, don’t be solid, don’t be me.” There is a direct relationship! Without it.
I, the old man, "remind" the "prejudices" in Chapter 22 of the "Tao Te Ching" -
"Qu Zequan".
The biased person said: This matter is too tortuous.
I said: twists and turns are normal and comprehensive things.
"What's wrong is straight."
The biased person said: This matter is unfair!
Lao Tzu said: This matter is wronged, what is wronged? This person is wronged, others are right, yesterday was wronged, today is right, today is wronged, tomorrow is wronged, people say it is wronged, God says it is right...
"If there is depression, there will be surplus."
biased people said: This is a trap!
I said: If it is a hole, someone will fill it in. If it is not a hole, who will fill it?
"The disadvantages are the new ones".
Prejudicers say: This is a drawback!
I said: Only when it becomes a malady will it be corrected. Only when it is corrected can there be hope. New things come from old things!
...
Original text of Chapter 22:
"The crookedness is complete, the wrong is straight, the hollow is full, the disadvantage is new, the less is gain, and the more is confusion. This is the way for the world to embrace the saints.
Not from If you are not self-righteous, you will be successful; if you are not self-respecting, you will be successful.
You will not fight, so no one in the world can compete with you.
The old saying is that the song is perfect.
Sincerity! All in all."
Lao Tzu said that the reason why people are prejudiced is because they are too self-righteous and think they are too smart.
How can we obtain "right view"? ——Perhaps what Lao Tzu said about "not seeing oneself", "not being self-righteous", "not cutting oneself down" and "not being self-conscious" is a method?
Where should our mind with “right views” come from? ?
Maybe there is a sentence in the "Diamond Sutra" that can help us find that heart...
"Therefore, Subhuti , all bodhisattvas and mahasattvas should have a pure mind like this, and should not dwell in form to create a mind. The mind should abide in sounds, smells, tastes, touches, and laws, and the mind should abide in nothing."
After all, please don't use your prejudice to harm the world, and don't let the flowers and colors of this world influence your opinions...
The self without self, the view after the unity of heaven and man... ...The moment of realization may be eternity - there is no trace of prejudice and right view...
The mind should have no place to live.
Thanks to Lao Tzu, Confucius, Sakyamuni , and the author of the scriptures
