Learn to farm. Tell me.

Hand-inserting young crops all over the ground: describing farmers planting seedlings one by one. Looking down at the sky in the water: looking down at the sky reflected in the rice field. The way to clean body and mind is Tao: when our body and mind are no longer contaminated by external material desires, we can be in harmony with Tao. Retrogression was originally forward: farmers retreated while transplanting rice seedlings. It is because he can retire that he can plant all the rice seedlings. Therefore, the "retrogression" of his transplanting is precisely the progress of his work.

Source: The poem of transplanting rice seedlings refers to this monk.

Put your hands in the field and bow your head to see the water in the sky. Six clean paths are paths, and retrogression is progress.

Appreciation of transplanting poems

The metaphor of "retrogression" in "retrogression is progress" turns the attention that usually pays attention to the outside world around and looks at one's body and mind. The reason why ordinary people can't realize is that they don't want to "retreat" but only know "advance"-that is, they put all their attention into the outside world and go to the outside world for climbing delusions, but they never observe all kinds of wrong ideas in their hearts and never study the truth of their bodies and minds. Anyone who is willing to "bow his head" and "retreat" will surely gradually understand the truth of various laws, so the poem says that "retreat is originally progress."
