Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism is Mind Learning , and the theory of wise men such as Keshi, Inamori, Shengji and others on cultivating the mind is also Mind Learning. This account provides you with a learning and communication platform.
When it comes to what you do, ordinary people often have too many distractions and fail to do the current things well. Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism teach us to eliminate distracting thoughts, focus on one thing, and do nothing. When practicing, focus on one thing, you must not only practice in a quiet place, but also in a moving place.
1. When facing what you do, ordinary people often have too many distractions and fail to do the present thing well
When facing what you do, ordinary people often have too many distractions and fail to do the present thing well. Many people are used to thinking about work when eating, thinking about entertainment when working, thinking about sleep when entertainment, and thinking about eating when sleeping. As a result, they cannot eat well, work well, play well, and sleep well.
Wang Yangming once pointed out: "When people are eating, although there is nothing in front of , their hearts are often uneasy, and is used to being busy, so they can't stop it."
Zhu Guangqian mentioned in his book "Let's walk slowly, live a beautiful life" that he loved the two words that Tao Yuanming said in his self-sacrifice: " is diligent and works hard, and his heart is always idle ". He also pointed out that "the problem of modern people is that they work hard and have no time to work together. is not only a waste of life, both physically and mentally exhausted, and work hard but also makes people feel mixed and lacks a sense of turmoil and resolute." .
2. Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism teach us to eliminate distracting thoughts, focus on one place, and do nothing.
"The human heart is dangerous, the Tao heart is subtle, and the essence is only one, and allow the middle" is the "sixteen-character heart transmission" when Yao, Shun and Yu abdicate. Among them, " is only one, and the essence is only one" means to study carefully and focus on one place. focuses on cultivating the Tao mind and practicing the right way .
Wang Yangming taught his disciples to listen to the lectures and "respect" , maintain "mindfulness" , and focus on .
" Buddha's last teachings " proposes, "If you have this heart, you will lose your good deeds. If you are a part of the system of , you will not do anything." means that if a person who indulges this mind, all good deeds will be wasted; if he focuses his mind in one place, nothing will be impossible.
There is a clip in the TV series " Buddha ". In the early stage of Sakyamuni's meditation, various scenes he had seen before continued to appear in his mind, making him unable to get silence and felt very painful. Sakyamuni's teacher pointed to the clouds in the sky and told him that human hearts are like the sky, and various thoughts of the past, present and future are floating around in the sky like clouds, but they do not touch the sky. After practicing meditation for a long time, the clouds in a person's heart will gradually disappear, a pure blue sky appears, and the heart is in a state of complete peace. The method of meditation is to make your mind "focus on one place and focus on the breath" .
Zhuangzi proposed the "Xinzhai listening method" in the article " people's world ". He said, "If you have ambition, you will not listen to it with your ears and listen to it with your heart, and you will not listen to it with your heart and listen to it with your spirit." "Qi means that people who are empty and treat things" and "empty means that people who are Xinzhai, ". Among them, "Ruo Yizhi" means to focus on one place, focus on one place, and focus on listening to one's own breath.
When Zhuangzi discussed nourishing the spirit in the "Deliberate" chapter, he proposed that "pure but not complicated, quiet but not change." "Calm" means calmness and concentration, and it also means focusing on one thing. and must be "unchanged", that is, no matter when and where you do, you must maintain this state of mind.
3. Focus on one place in cultivation, not only practice in quiet places, but also practice in moving places
Cultivation focus on one place, which allows you to be conscious and spiritual in work and gain inspiration; concentrate in aesthetics and gain pleasure; be calm in life and be in a stable state.
Focus on one place in practice, not only in a quiet place, but also in a moving place.
Practicing in a "quiet place", you can learn meditation, meditation, etc. . Kazuo Inamori teaches us to take some time every day to practice the exercise of meditation. He pointed out that in modern society, when a large amount of information continues to pour in, and when intense work continues to force, the mind is wafting and thoughts are endless, and the mind cannot be peaceful. In this case, the restless waves of the mind must be suppressed for a moment, create an opportunity to enter a state of calmness. can use meditation and other methods, just use a short time every day to calm your mind. Get this moment of peace every day and you can get closer to the state of your true self (the true face of the heart). Doing so can help us achieve fruitful results in all aspects of our lives.
Practice at work. Inamori proposed "practice at work." He also proposed that eliminating distractions and focusing on one thing can help you trigger inspiration in research and development and hear "the whispers of the gods". He talked about his true experience: "When I devoted myself to work so fully, the distracting thoughts of disappeared from my heart, and I even approached the state of selflessness. is like a monk who has reached the state of nothingness in meditation, the distracting thoughts in his thoughts are cleared from his mind, and the mind has entered a state of pureness." "When the mind is in a pure state, a language of wisdom that comes from unknown places will suddenly appear, that is, good ideas."
Why can you approach the state of selflessness when you concentrate on your work? Indian philosopher Krishnamurti said that when you love someone or something deeply and is fully focused, the barrier between the mind and the object will disappear. In the consciousness, "He is here, I am not here", so you enter the state of selflessness . Simply put, it is to focus on one thing, and "full concentration" brings about the state of selflessness of "he is here, I am not here".
Practice in aesthetics. In aesthetic activities such as enjoying music, dance, painting, etc., eliminating distractions and focusing on one thing can help you gain more aesthetic feelings and more happiness. I believe everyone has felt this.
Practice while eating, drinking, defecating and urinating. In eating, drinking, defecation, and sensation, eliminating distractions and focusing on one place can help you eat more fragrantly, drink sweeter, pull cleaner, sprinkle more thoroughly, and live healthier. As long as you reflect on this aspect, everyone will have an understanding.
One thing to note is that whether you are practicing in a quiet place or in a moving place, one place of focus is " Relaxed focus ", rather than tense focus. The so-called relaxation refers to adjusting the limbs, breathing, and consciousness to a relaxed state.
In the process of doing things, the relationship between the mind and the object can be imagined as 0 and 1. "0" means the mind of emptiness and tranquility; "1" means something in front of you or something in the present. Over time, the realm that people enter constantly changes. However, the relationship between mind and matter can be maintained at 0 and 1, which is what Zhuangzi said, " is quiet but not change ". In other words, the current situation has changed, but the state of emptiness and tranquility of the mind can remain unchanged.
In short, when it comes to what you do, ordinary people often have too many distractions and fail to focus on one thing, so they often cannot do what they should do well at the moment. Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism teach us to eliminate distracting thoughts and focus on one thing, but we can do nothing. Focusing on one thing can allow us to have more inspiration in our work, get more pleasure in our aesthetics, and be in a stable state in life. Focus on one place in practice, not only in a quiet place, but also in a moving place.
