Notes on Chapter 11 of Tao Te Ching

The theme "Take advantage of it, but don't think of it as useful" < Bring convenience: convenience is the key to realize;

? Behavior < nothing is useless: play is the key to do.

? Note: To achieve the unity of the two is also the most fashionable explanation of "utilization".

if you have it, you will benefit

realize

? First of all, we should realize the importance of "being" and emphasize the process of "endless" creation of "nothing".

? "Being" is a convenient condition for creating everything! Strengthen the ability to maximize the value of "being" and create the process of "nothing" (never existed) from "being".

yes →→→→ no (never), positive transformation, endless;

Tao →→→→ gives birth to one, two, three, and from the metaphysical Tao, it is completed in the form of virtue, or it splits or jumps, and it is endless.

Enlightenment

You can't apply what you have learned

? We didn't or didn't realize to maximize the advantages of our own talents, abilities, skills, and even the specialties of our personality, just like we can't be indifferent, our enthusiasm has no scale, our altruism hasn't achieved the ultimate, and we know everything, everything is loose, and everything is useless, which leads to our mediocrity. This is why you are ordinary and ordinary. It is also a practice, which is not so easy.

knowing not to do →→→→ ideological problem

if you do, you can't persist →→→→→ behavioral problem

? Words (body) and deeds cannot be integrated

Summary

The integration of words and deeds is a practice in itself;

"yes" is a million possibilities, and "no" is an opportunity that you may realize;

The so-called waste material is misplaced. Failure is not terrible. What is terrible is that you still believe this sentence.

Nothing means that "the movement of the Tao is against the movement of the weak, and the movement rules of things will always develop towards their opposites, which is endless, that is, the so-called prosperity will decline, and the extremes of things will reverse." Twelve Immortals "is also the change of this natural philosophy.

? We are born in a tangible world, so we should know how to "know the white and keep the black, know the male and keep the female" and learn to control the opposite of the development of things. Therefore, if we want to maintain the greatest "being", we should keep the greatest "nothing".

The golden cicada is hidden underground, the hero is hidden in Cao Meng, the hermit is hidden in downtown, and the scattered people are hidden in the wilderness; State-owned sharp weapon, not shown to people, the gentleman hides the device, moves at the right time, and the villain holds the device, shouting incessantly; The country hides wealth in the people, and the monarch hides the world in the world.

? Hidden front, hiding others, hiding treasures, hiding ... are all hidden hearts; Hiding is an art, and hiding is a kind of self-control ability. Those who are good at hiding are rich, and they can hide under nine places and attack on nine days.

? 1 Tibetan front

? "Hold and profit, not as good as it has. If you are sharp and sharp, you can't keep it for a long time. It is the same as its light and dust. " Sweeping monk is in the world of martial arts, which has the same reference as the reality. Muxiu will be destroyed by Lin Feng, and he will be destroyed if he takes credit for it. Terrible not only don't realize it, but show it off. The real master never shows a leak, and once he finds that he has missed his edge, he immediately converges; Once you make a move, you will hit it with one blow.

? 2. Other people

? Turn wisdom into foolishness and cleverness into stupidity; Be a fool and be a make a fool of oneself. Smart people play dumb! You can protect yourself, and you can make people accumulate strength and achieve their careers quietly.

? 3 treasure

? If you are poor, you should sue outside, but your wealth is not exposed.

? 4 hiding

? Hiding is to hide the heart, "the body comes first after the body, but the body exists outside". Being able to realize is the ability, and being able to do it is the skill. The difficulty of practice lies in the inability to integrate, and all that can be done is the saint except the child. "Hiding" is the means and ability, and "revealing" is the purpose. If you hide too deep for too long, you may lose your self-confidence and lose yourself. If you show it too early and too quickly, you will look naive. You should not only understand the four aspects, but also stick to ignorance. If you hide dirt and hide traitors, you will fall into the magic road.

There are two things in the Qing dynasty that are difficult to fill. One is the sea, and the other is desire. Ignorance is special. Everyone has it, more or less, and it is very easy to fill. Stereotypes, stubborn prejudices, self-knowledge, abstinence from meat, food and salt, don't you know that it is a joke in the eyes of others? If "hiding" means putting away all the things, then "clearing" means throwing out the full things and returning them to their original form. If you are empty-minded, you must be empty first and then valley.

It's hard to understand the saying that "you are born without something, but you don't rely on it, and you live well after your success", unless you are a man of great wisdom, it's hard to understand it until you are ruined. Everything follows its laws. When things reach the commanding heights, it is the beginning of decline. At this time, if you are still stubborn, what you are waiting for is that Kang Long has regrets (insert dry divination). It is difficult to let go of the past that can prove your glory, and it is difficult to let go of the desire that will be readily available, but only by letting go will there be a new beginning, just like fireworks across the sky. If you don't choose gorgeous, you will fall. If you want a long-term "flying dragon in the sky", you will start again after reaching the commanding heights. This is considered endless.

Embrace a saying, "The husband is the only one who does not fight, so the world can't fight with him." If a person doesn't want to fight, then the world belongs to him. This is the mentality of abstinence, abstinence and quietness. I'm afraid the only things that can be done in the world are children and old people. One is just born, the other is dying, and all of them are in the middle of vanity fair. The reason why people can't stop thinking, even for a minute, is because they are still struggling in the field of desire.

? Life should be subtraction, in contrast, the heart is pure and the mirror is clear, so it is enough to pick one or two. If you can hold the yuan and return to the body and stick to the source, then happiness, longevity and wealth will keep you company; On the other hand, a fool dreams and dies young!

giving will only increase, not decrease. Altruism and egoism are two sides of the same coin, so it should be an instinct to help others without paying back. The so-called success is to what extent it meets the needs of others. The greater the scope of altruism, the closer it is to success in the secular sense. On the contrary, if you want to achieve yourself on a larger scale, the more you need to get strength and recognition from more people. Therefore, the development of altruism to the extreme is ultimately to achieve oneself.

awe and fear come from knowing and not knowing, which seems to be just right!
