Are you satisfied with your study, life and work?
Perhaps, many people once had capital that made them proud, but can they hold on to these capitals? What is there in
that can be kept and never lost? Take a look at the answers given by " Liezi Learning to Shoot ".
Liezi is on target, please go to to check Yinzi .
Liezi practiced archery and was able to hit the target, so he went to tell Guan Yinzi. This sentence can show that Liezi's archery skills are good and he can hit the target in one go. It is like some students who study well and get full marks in the exam. , does a full score mean it is perfect?
From a cultural point of view, is it for full marks? Gorky said that dissatisfaction is like a wheel rolling upward. Is it the end of hitting the target? Was it an accidental hit, or was it inevitable? What are the next requirements? With questions, Liezi went to consult his master Guan Yinzi.
Yinzi said: "Why does Zi Zhizi hit the target?"
Guan Yinzi said: "Do you know why you hit the target?" There is a theory behind every knowledge, and many people always know it. I don’t know why, but between sensibility and rationality, everyone has different control over themselves. Chance will become inevitable, and there will be chance in necessity. Only those who understand it thoroughly can grasp it. When learning to shoot, it is not difficult to hit the target. What is difficult is not making mistakes. What is difficult is fully understanding the reasoning behind it. We now know that shooting theory includes ballistics , wind direction, psychology, and computing. If it is deeper, just like the current intelligent positioning, there are many requirements for improving the hit rate.
He replied: "I don't know." Guan Yinzi said: "No."
Liezi didn't know this, so he could only say, "I don't know." He didn't know. Guan Yinzi said: "No." Then your archery skills are not good enough. Take your time to understand!
get used to it. Three years later, he repaid Guan Yinzi again.
Liezi went home and practiced hard. Three years later, I went to tell Guan Yinzi again. People who are eager to learn are always easy to listen to the teacher's opinions and act humbly. Therefore, after Liezi concentrated on studying for three years, he reported to Guan Yinzi and wanted to seek further breakthroughs.
Yinzi said: "Why does Zi Zhizi hit the mark?" Liezi said: "You know it."
Guan Yinzi said: "Now you understand the truth!" Liezi said: "I understand."
Guan Yinzi said Confucius said: "Yes. Keep it and don't lose it."
Guan Yinzi said: "Just understand, remember, this is the fundamental principle, don't violate it, just don't mess up the set of principles of archery."
Buddhists say that Zen leads to tranquility, tranquility leads to enlightenment, enlightenment leads to feeling, and feeling leads to feeling. And blending, blending and then gaining. A good teacher does not teach you a set of formulas, but inspires you with true wisdom. Success or failure depends on the heart. The way to cultivate the mind lies in concentration. Once you are settled, don't mess up. This is the state of concentration.
"You don't shoot alone, you do it for your country and yourself."
This is not only true for archery, but also for governing the country and cultivating the body and mind.
"Therefore, the sage does not examine survival, but examines why it is."
Therefore, the sage is not limited to examining the superficial phenomena of success or failure, but must understand the reasons for survival. From here we know the difference between saints and ordinary people. Ordinary people only look at the results and do not care about the process. The process and results are actually unified in the development of things. Most people are only entangled in the process and results, but saints focus on the principles behind it, the refined philosophy, and the inner training.
Liezi said: "Those who are rich in color are arrogant, and those who are strong in strength are excited, and they cannot speak."
Liezi said: People with strong Qi and blood are easy to be proud, and people with strong physical strength are easy to show off. It is impossible to discuss the truth with them. Normally They always say that young people should not be proud. Beautiful girls have beauty, handsome guys have strength, and they all have their own pride. They will not listen to the truth. The root of Tao is not "color and power". The more tangible things you have, the harder it is to reach Tao.
"So if you don't explain the Tao in Bai language, it will be lost, but how can it be implemented?"
Therefore, talking to people who have not gray hair often loses the original meaning of the Tao, let alone implementing it? Talking to young people will cause problems and make it more difficult to do things. Why? Is it impossible for young people to understand Tao? Maybe young people can learn knowledge, but they don’t have enough experience and their minds are not calm enough.
Many parents have high expectations for their children and tell them many philosophies about life. However, the child has no experience of his own and does not understand that these philosophies are not compatible with his environment, which can only arouse his resentment. This paragraph allows us to understand life Experience is important. People always understand right and wrong only after they are injured.
"Therefore, if you work hard, no one will tell you. If no one tells you, you will be alone and without help."
Therefore, a proud and strong person will have no one to tell him the principles of governing the country and self-cultivation. If no one tells him, he will be alone and helpless. . The more powerful he feels and has a strong subjective consciousness, the less anyone will help him, just like Xiang Yu, who is in his early twenties, dominates the world, takes the rank of general among a million soldiers, can lift a cauldron with his strength, and lift a mountain with his heart. . But for such a person, the result was disastrous. He was defeated by Gaixia and asked himself Wujiang .
"A wise man appoints others, so he will not grow old when he is old, and his wisdom will not be chaotic when he is exhausted."
A wise person is good at appointing others. Therefore, although I am old, my ability to manage affairs has not declined, my intelligence has been exhausted, and I am not confused when looking at problems. For example, Liu Bang has Zhang Liang, Xiao He, and Han Xin under him, and he has gained his trust and trust. He doesn't have much ability himself, but he has a large number of capable people under his command.
Therefore, the difficulty of governing a country lies in knowing the virtuous rather than in being virtuous.
finally came to a principle of governing the country. The difficulty in governing the country lies in the ability to identify and appoint talents, not in how capable one is. If you yourself are very capable and you know how to do everything the people below you do, that's the end of it. No matter how strong a person is, he can only do the work of one person, and doing big things requires many people. At this time, knowing the talents and appointing them is the greatest wisdom. This is the way to behave.
