Chapter 2 Enlightenment Records 1, Document 4-2

Yiyou Dong Luoshi in Haining is in his sixties and eighties, and he has heard about the rivers and lakes with his poetry.Compared with the professional poets in his hometown, dozens of generations formed a poetry club, chanting on paper day and night, and asking each other for sentences and words, until they lost sleep and food, and left behind their careers.The time and the custom are all laughing at it and ignoring it, thinking that it is the greatest joy in the world.Jiashenchun in Jiajing, Luoshi came to visit Kuaiji, Wen Yang Ming Zifang and his disciples lectured in the mountains, and visited with a staff and shoulders, a ladle and a hat.To get started, sit up with a long bow.Yang Mingzi has a different appearance and is old, so respect him.He also inquired that he was Dong Luoshi, and talked with him day and night.Luo Shi's resignation is very modest, and the ceremony is very humble, and he doesn't feel that his seat is very sideways.Retiring, He Shengqin, a disciple of Yangmingzi, said: "I have seen that the Confucianists in the world are fragmented, trimming their appearance, and look like puppet people; those below them are greedy and scramble for wealth and wealth; but they don't care about what they do. I think that there is no such thing as the study of the so-called sages and sages in the world, and they are straight and false in order to benefit their private ears! Therefore, I devoted myself to poetry and let the waves go to the mountains and rivers. Now I heard the words of the master's conscience, and suddenly I woke up from a deep sleep. Then I know what I want to do. Those who work hard day and night, and those who are engaged in business and profit with the world, are very clear and turbid, and the difference cannot be measured. Fortunately! I am not a master, but it is almost empty. This is the end of life. I will face my master in the north and spend my whole life, so that I will never be old but have something to do?" Qin Qi congratulated him and said: "Mr. is old in his years. How strong is your ambition!" Enter to invite Yu Yangmingzi.Yang Mingzi sighed and said: "Is that true? I have never seen this old man! Although, his teeth are longer than mine. Teacher and friend, if I believe what I say, Xi must face the north and then salute?" Luo Shi heard it. , Said: "Master, is it possible that you have not accumulated sincerity?" After two months of resignation, he abandoned his dipper hat and came with a bamboo hat.Said Qin and said: "This is the weaving of my old wife. My sincerity is like this thread. Master, do you agree with me?" Qin Jin asked.Yang Mingzi said: "Is it true? I have never seen this old man! Today's later generations are late. If you know that writing is a literary diction, if you memorize and practice exegesis, you will be arrogant and arrogant, and you will no longer know that you have the knowledge of a teacher." Things. Seeing someone or even asking a teacher about a scholar, they all laughed together and denounced them like monsters. Weng Yineng’s poems and teachings are backward, and those who follow them travel all over the rivers and lakes. They are actually ancestors. Once they hear the words of the prophecy, they abandon them for decades Its success is like a poor weed, so it seeks the north and condescends. It is only in this time that it has not been seen. If people record the ancient records, there are not many of them. The study of a gentleman seeks to change his temperament. Those whose temperament is difficult to change, take politeness as a trouble, and cannot be submissive to others, so they deceive themselves, pretend to be not Changao, and die as fierce and vulgar. Therefore, in the mortal world, a son cannot be filial, but a disciple Those who cannot be respected, who are ministers but cannot be loyal, all start from the inability to bow down, and being polite is a problem. Respect is only followed by reason, and it is not difficult to bow down, then the politeness will disappear and the principles of heaven will act. It is not the great courage of the world. It is not enough to be with this! It is like a radish, which is my teacher, but how can I be a teacher of a radish?" Luo Shi said: "Excellent! The master refused me. I can't wait for the invitation." Enter And Qianna Baiyan.Yang Mingzi refused to accept his resignation, so he promised it between his teachers and friends.With him, I explored Yuxue, climbed Lufeng, visited Qinwang, searched for the remains of Lanting, wandered in Yunmen, Ruoye, Jianhu, and Shanqu.Luo Shi heard about it every day, and it was full of benefits, and she was happy and forgot to return.The children, relatives and friends of the township party and those who are usually in the community, either laugh at it, or recruit it for poetry, and say: "Old man, why is he suffering?" Luo Shi laughed and said: "My side Fortunately, I escaped into the sea of ​​bitterness, and I knew that it was my own suffering, so I thought I was suffering? I raised my feathers above the clouds, and threw my net into the cage again? , I will follow what I like!" So he called himself "follow my Taoist".Hearing this, Yang Mingzi sighed and said: "Zhuozai Luoshi! 'The blood energy is weakened, and the abstinence is obtained'. Who can stand up and be as strong as a young hero? It can be said to be able to 'follow me' People in the world compete to be superior to each other because of their good names; they are greedy to take each other because of their good interests; they deceive each other because of their good intentions, ears and eyes; I think that I should follow what I like. But do you know what I mean by the true self! The so-called true self by the husband and I is also called the conscience. The father is kind, the son is filial, and my conscience likes it; if you are not kind or filial, This is evil. If you speak faithfully and trustworthily, if you act with deep respect, my conscience likes it. If you are not faithful and trustworthy, and you are not sincerely respectful, then you are evil. Therefore, my husband’s desire for fame, wealth and material desires is good, and my selfishness is good for me. What is hated; good knowledge is good, true self is good, and everyone in the world likes it. Therefore, if you follow what you like, all the people in the world will hate it, and you will work hard every day and worry all your life. This is what is called The struggle of things. If you follow what you really like, then everyone in the world will like it. The family, the country, and the world are all inappropriate; What I like is also true. The master tasted it and said: "When I am ten or five years old, I am determined to learn." Don't think it's too late to learn from me when your ears are compliant. How can the courage of red rocks make progress? Huo hoo! Those who are in the world of material desires can also know what to do when they hear the wind of red rocks Almost!"

Yiyou Nanzi Yuanshan governed Yue, and he passed Yangmingzi and asked about politics.Yangmingzi said: "Government is close to the people." He said: "Why is it close to the people?" He said: "It lies in Ming Mingde." One, one?" Said: "One. Those who are virtuous, the nature of destiny, the spirit is not ambiguous, and all principles come from it. People are like their fathers, but they don't know how to be filial; like their brothers. , but no one knows my brother Yan; in the sense of all things, there is no natural clarity; it is the spiritual manifestation in the human heart, which has never been different through the ages, and there is no one who is ignorant, so it is called Mingde. It may be hidden. Those who are enlightened, get rid of the obscuration of material desires, and use the enlightenment of the whole body to gain it.” He said: “Why is it close to the people?” Said: “Virtue cannot be mere understanding. If a person wants to know the virtue of his filial piety, he must be close to his father, and then the virtue of filial piety will be clear; if he wants to know the virtue of his younger brother, he must be close to his elder brother, and then the virtue of his younger brother will be clear. Monarchs and ministers, husband and wife, Friends, it’s all the same. Therefore, Mingming’s virtue must lie in being close to the people, and being close to the people is to understand his bright virtue. Therefore, it is called one.” Said: “Being close to the people is to understand one’s bright virtue. How can self-cultivation be done? Is there any existence in the world?" He said: "People are the heart of heaven and earth; people are called to themselves; people are called people, and the way of the three talents is carried out. That is why I kiss my father and the father of people, and All fathers and sons in the world should kiss each other; my brother and the brother of man, and all brothers in the world should kiss each other. Monarchs and ministers, husbands and wives, friends, and even birds, beasts, plants and trees, all of them want to kiss each other. Do my best to show my virtues. This means that the virtues are manifested in the world, and that the family is in order and the country governs the world." Said: "But the bird is the one who is the best?" "In the past, people inherently wanted to understand. Its virtue is clear, but it may be lost in emptiness and emptiness, and there is no charity for the family, country and world. They don't know that virtue lies in being close to the people, and the two families are like that; Those who have lost knowledge of power and tactics, but have no sincerity of benevolence, love and compassion, do not know the reason why they are close to the people to understand their virtues, and Wu Bo is a utilitarian person; it is a fault that none of them know how to stop at the best. Therefore, the best is also The nature of Mingde and closeness to the people is also the ultimate principle. The nature of destiny is purely good. Those whose spirit is not ambiguous are all the discoveries of the best. They are the essence of all Mingde, and the so-called virtuous ones. The discovery of the best , yes but yes, no non-no, solid my heart naturally has its own rules, and I don't allow any suggestions to add damage to it. Any suggestion to add damage to it is selfish and small wisdom, not the best. That's right. People don't know that the best is in their hearts, but they use their private wisdom to seek it outside. If they don't know what is right and what is wrong, then they will break apart, people will want to do whatever they want, and the law of nature will perish. The world. Therefore, the ultimate goodness is to Mingde and the people, just as the rules are to the square, the scale is to the length, and the balance is to the weight. The square is not limited to the rules, and it is cool; the length is not limited to the scale, and it is good. It is restrained; the importance is not limited to balance, and it loses its accuracy; the virtue of being close to the people is not limited to the ultimate good, and it is perishable if it is destroyed. This is what is called the study of adults. Adults integrate the world and all things. Of course, In the future, the heaven, earth, and all things can be integrated." Yuan Shan sighed and said: "Excellent! If the learning of adults is so simple, I now know that the heaven, earth, and myriad things are one! I now know that the world is one family and China is what it is. One person!' A husband is notQize, if you push it into the various ditches, it is the same for Yi Yinqi to get my heart first! "So he named the hall where he came to government as "close to the people", and said: "I take it as my job to be close to the people, and I serve my people in order to understand my virtue!" "Yu wrote his words on the wall and recorded them.

Yiyou Wansong Academy is outside the south gate of Zhejiang Province, between Danghu and Mountain.At the beginning of Hongzhi, Jinren, the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty who participated in politics, changed the site of the abandoned temple.In recent years, there have been successive investigations by some divisions, and the land has been bettered to win, but it has only been a place for sightseeing, and the way of preaching and reciting has not been prepared.In Jiajing Yiyou, Pan Jun Jingzhe, the imperial servant, was ordered to make a tour.It is not only a simple village, but also the Nangong where the sages of a province are recruited, and it is regrettable that the talents left behind cannot be fully captured, and the thinking is to achieve great success.It is to build up the academy, and the house in Yiguanglou has thirty-six couplets; it is used for its utensils, and it is used to support several hectares of land; Use it to mention learning and things, and everyone will believe in you.Ru Xin said: "It is the responsibility of fixing the tide." The vassal kings praised Juecheng, and made the governor Yan Gang Dong Qiyong, the prefect Chen Li, and the official Chen Chi to assist the manager.It's over ten days after reading the month, and the work is over, so I come to ask for words to record the matter.

But I, Huang Ming, built temples from the capital to the prefectures and towns, and educated them with outstanding scholars.Its system in schools can be described as detailed and well-prepared.And famous places and resorts often have academies, why?That's why Kuang Yifu's school was not caught.The studies of the three dynasties are all based on the understanding of human relations; today's academic palaces are all famous for "Ming Lun", so the establishment of scholars is certainly not the meaning of the three generations.However, since the prosperity of the imperial examinations, scholars have rushed to memorize the rhetoric, but the loss of utilitarianism has distracted their minds, so what teachers teach and students learn, they no longer know the meaning of Minglun.Those who are worried about the world and morals want to save them and return them, but they don't know what to do.For example, in military affairs, if you are playing leisurely and lazy, you must select generals to review the army, change their banners, and hang unqualified rewards to promote bravery, and then morale will be boosted.Is it true that the establishment of the academy today is similar?Scholars who come to gather here must think about each other and say: "Since I have entered my school, and I have become better at me, what is the purpose? I would rather concentrate on my career? Is it just my progress? ?In the school, it is not impossible to improve my career. The enterprising heart is what I have learned from myself, and I have to wait for others to follow it. There must be those who advance and succeed. It is a solid hope that I will learn from the ancient sages Also." The learning of ancient sages and sages is only Ming Lun.Yao and Shun taught each other and said: "The human heart is only dangerous, the Dao heart is only weak, but the essence is only one, and it is allowed to be in the middle." Siming Lun's learning.The heart of the Tao is also known as being willful, but the heart of the heart is false.It is not mixed with human hypocrisy, and it is expressed out of the Dao heart. It is joy, anger, sorrow and joy when it is spoken; Qilun refers to the relationship between father and son, the righteousness between monarch and minister, the difference between husband and wife, the order of seniority, and the trust of friends; and the way of the three talents is exhausted.Shun made Qi a Situ to teach the world, and teach him this way.It is the common feature of the ancient and modern sages and fools in the world, and those who are ignorant are blinded by material desires.It's not that everything in it is unprepared, but those who pretend to seek it from the outside.It is the so-called knowing without thinking is good knowledge; being able without learning is good ability.As a child, everyone knows how to love their relatives.The sage of Confucius said that what he wanted for his son was not enough to serve his father.It is the study of Ming Lun, even children in childhood can do everything, and even to the extreme, even sages can't do everything.The human relationship is clear above, the people are close to the bottom, the family is in order and the country is governed, and the world is peaceful.That's why there is no learning outside of Minglun.In addition, scholars based on this are called heresy; those who argue without this are called heresy;It is called the utilitarian, the government of troubled times.Although today's career must be refined from now on, it is said that it is not worthy of the test; although today's official advancement, it must be done from this, and then the day after tomorrow will be as good as doing righteousness and Dao.The original intention of the establishment of the Sigu National School was that the academies of all monarchs wanted to rejuvenate the toasts, so they recited it for the toasts.

Yiyou Classics, often said.It lies in the destiny called by heaven, it is called the nature given to people, and it is called the heart in the body.Mind, nature, life, oneness.Connecting characters, reaching all over the world, covering the world, from ancient to modern times, there is no one who is unique, no one who is different, and no one who changes.It is a common way, and its response to feelings is compassion, shame, humiliation, and right and wrong; when it is seen in things, it is the relationship between father and son, the righteousness between monarch and minister, the difference between husband and wife, the order of seniority, Letter to a friend.Compassion, shame, resignation, right and wrong; kinship, righteousness, preface, separation, and faith; oneness.They are all so-called heart, nature, and life.It is the usual way to understand people, reach the whole world, cover the world, from ancient to modern times, there is nothing like it, "nothing is the same, nothing or changes, it is the usual way. It is called "Yi"; it is called "Poetry" if it talks about its discipline and political affairs; "Li"; if it talks about the life of joy and peace, it is called "Le"; if it talks about the debate between sincerity, falsehood, evil, and righteousness, it is called "Spring and Autumn". Yes, one. All so-called heart, nature, and destiny. Connecting people, reaching all over the world, covering the world, from ancient to modern times, there is nothing that is unique, nothing that is different, nothing that changes, everything is true The so-called "Six Classics". The "Six Classics" are not others, but the constant way of my heart. Therefore, "Yi" is also the one who records the yin and yang news of my heart; "Poetry" also refers to the singing and temperament of my heart; "Li" also refers to the orderly text of my heart; "Le" also refers to the joy and peace of my heart; , the one who aspires to the sincerity of my heart, falsehood, evil and righteousness. A gentleman seeks the news of yin and yang of my heart in the "Six Classics", so he respects the "Yi"; Yan, so I respect it; seek the singing of my heart and express my temperament from time to time, so I respect the "Poetry"; I rejoice in peace and it arises from time to time, so I respect "Le"; I seek the sincerity of my heart, but I sometimes argue with it, so I respect "Spring and Autumn". In the Six Classics, the fathers and ancestors of Jude’s rich family worry about the accumulation of their property treasury, and their children and grandchildren may forget and lose it, and they are poor and unable to be self-sufficient. Keep the accumulation of its industrial treasury and enjoy it, so as not to suffer from poverty. Therefore, the "Six Classics" are also the records of my heart, and the reality of the "Six Classics" is in my heart; it is like the actual accumulation of the industrial treasury. , all kinds of colors exist in his family. Those who record them are only the number of special names. Scholars in the world don't know how to seek the truth of the "Six Classics" in my heart, but only search for influences and constrain the meaning of the text At the end, I thought it was the "Six Classics". It is like the sons and grandsons of the rich family who do not pay attention to enjoy the real accumulation of their industrial treasury, and forget and lose it every day. Said: "The accumulation of my industrial treasury" is so different! Woohoo! The study of the "Six Classics" is not well understood in the world, and it is not because of it overnight. Advocating utilitarianism and advocating heresy are called chaotic scriptures; learning exegesis, Reciting biographies, not indulging in superficial hearing and small opinions to paint the eyes and ears of the world, is called insulting the scriptures; extravagant rhetoric, competing with sophistry, embellishing treacherous hearts, stealing and chasing the world, monopolizing and thinking that you know the scriptures, it is called thieving scriptures. Those who are so-called recorders are separated and destroyed, and Ning Fu knows why he respects the scriptures!

There used to be Jishan Academy in Yuecheng, which was abandoned for a long time in Xigang, Wolong.The county governor of Weinan, Jun Daji, has given power to the people, but he mourns the fragmentation of the late learning, and will advance it with the way of sages.So Shanyin ordered Wu Junying to expand the academy and renovate it, and it was also a pavilion for respecting scriptures.Said: "The scriptures are correct, and the common people will prosper; if the common people prosper, there will be no evil." The pavilion is complete, please give me a word of advice.If I am not resigned, I will remember it if it is.Alas!Scholars in the world have learned what I said and asked for their hearts, and they are also familiar with it, so they respect the scriptures.

Yiyou The science of Shanyin fades with time.Instruct Wang Junhan's generation to make a new one by conspiring with Gu Junduo, the county Yin, so please give me the words of the edict.At that time, Yufang was guilty and resigned, but he didn't tell him.Now that Gu Jun entered as Qiu Guanlang, Wu Junying from Luoyang came to replace him, adding what he hadn't prepared and applying for the previous application.In the past, when Yu Guan stayed in the capital, because of Jingzhao's invitation, he remembered his learning and talked about it.The general idea is that the reason why the imperial court raises scholars is not to specialize in career development, but to rely on the learning of sages.Today's halls and halls are expanded and compiled; those who observe the teachings of the house and house are the masters of the department.Seeking the people in the world to live in a safe house and cultivate all their bodies, this is the practice of being a teacher and a disciple.At that time, those who heard it were all cautious and introspective, but Yufan's theory of learning was still not detailed.Now please say something for my fellow Yue.

The study of the sage is also the study of the heart.Just learn to do your best.Yao, Shun, and Yu taught each other and said: "The human heart is only dangerous, the Dao heart is only subtle, but the essence is only one, and it is allowed to stick to it."Silent and odorless, subtle and obvious, the source of sincerity.People's hearts are mixed with people and dangerous, and they are false.Seeing a child enter a well and feel pity for it is the way to be straightforward; thus, if you want to be known to his parents and be praised by the township party, it will be popular.Eating when you are hungry, drinking when you are thirsty, this is the way of willfulness; so that you can enjoy the beauty of the taste and indulge in the gluttony of your mouth, it will make people's hearts suffer.The only one is one in the mind of the Dao.But those who are refined consider the inconsistency of the Dao and the heart, and perhaps the two are based on the human heart.There is nothing in the way that is not in the way, and it is one in the heart of the way without rest, which is called "allowing to stick to the middle".Once in the heart of the Tao, there is nothing that is not in harmony, and there is nothing that is not in harmony.Therefore, the heart of Dao is indiscriminate when it is sent out to father and son; it is not injustice when it is sent to monarchs and ministers; The Dao also.It is universally applicable, and it is not poor throughout the ages; people in the world have the same heart, the same nature, and the same Dao.Shun made Qi a Situ to teach human relations, and taught him to achieve the Tao.At that time, everyone is a gentleman and can be sealed up like a house, and those who build education only teach based on it, and scholars only learn based on it.There is no sage, the mind is dark, but people are hypocritical, utilitarians, exegesis, and memorizing rhetoric have sprung up one after another, fragmented, and the years are flourishing and the moon is new, and they follow each other. The subtlety of Taoism.Occasionally, those who feel that it is wrong and have a little understanding of seeking the source of the original, they all point out that it is Zen and criticize it.Alas!How did the learning of the mind come to be clear again!The study of Zen and the study of sages both seek to do their best, and there is a slight difference between them.The sage seeks to the best of his heart, and the heaven, earth, and myriad things are one.My father and son are married, but there are those who are not related in the world, and my heart is not exhausted; my monarch and ministers are righteous, but there are unrighteous ones in the world, and my heart is not exhausted; my husband and wife are farewell, and the order of elders and children is not complete. , Friends believe it, but there are people in the world who are not separated, not ordered, and not believed, and my heart is not exhausted.My family is full, warm, and happy, and there is no one in the world who is not full, warm, and happy, how can he be close?Righteous?Don't, order, believe it?My heart is not yet exhausted; therefore, there are disciplines for the establishment of government affairs, rituals and music for education, and everything that is tailored to complement each other, self-made, and things, I seek to fulfill my heart.When the heart is exhausted, the family is in order, the country is governed, and the world is in peace.Therefore, the study of the sage does not come from the whole heart.The study of Zen is not based on the heart, but its meaning is to reach the Tao, and to strengthen my heart, as long as I don’t ignorant of my heart in it, it’s enough, and I don’t have to be contemptuous of it; If there is something wrong, then don't bother with it.Sri Lanka is also the so-called dedicated person, but he does not know that he has fallen into the bias of selfishness.It is outside human relations, leaving things behind, to be good or to be able to do it alone, but not to be able to govern the family, the country and the world.The sage's study has no self, no inside and outside, and everything in the world is the heart; while the study of Zen starts from selfishness, and is not free from the distinction between inside and outside; this is why it is different.Today, if you are a scholar of mind and nature, if you practice external relationships and leave things behind, you can truly call it Zen. Zen!Scholars of the world follow the habit of their careers and ci poems to slash their hearts with desolation, which runs counter to the sage's dedication to learning, and they flock to each other day by day, and they don't know how far they have reached.Those who recruit people with the theory of mind and nature, Gu Hai thinks it is Zen, and turns against and hates them, isn't it a great tragedy!The husband does not know that it is wrong and regards it as inhuman, it is an old habit to deceive, and it should not be taken as a crime.There are those who know what's wrong, those who despise others' wrongs and don't tell others, and those who are selfish.Those who have already told it, and have already known it, but those who still do not think of self-reflection, are also those who abandon themselves.The more I have, the more heroes there are, there are quite a few of them who thrive without waiting for anything, and are they also allowed to hide from old habits?Therefore, I would like to make a special statement because of the request of the gentlemen.Alas!How can I just say a word for my scholar of Yue?

Xin Wei Zhong Yong has high knowledge and arrogance. He is a Jinshi, and he is determined to do the world's affairs.Once he blamed his ambition and said: "Yuhu! It's too early to give. There is no one who can cure others without being able to cure himself!" Mo" is the name of the nunnery, and please ask for its prescription.I also know how many talkers in the world are enough to know the way of silence!However, if I try to test it for myself, I will talk too much when I am angry, and I will talk too much if I am light-hearted.Those who are airy will shine outside, and those with light ambitions will be placed inside.Please recite the ancient teachings and use them for yourself.

Fumo has four falsehoods: doubting but not knowing how to ask questions, being concealed but not knowing how to argue, silently ignoring oneself, which is called the stupidity of silence; whoever does not speak to others, is called the cunning of silence; thinking about others’ interests, and concealing it Overriding the silent, it is called the silent slander; the deep love, the thick appearance, the deep poison and the ruthless, and the one who entrusts himself to the silent to sell the adulterer, is called the silent thief; the husband is called the four hypocrisy.There are also eight sincerities: Confucius said: "A gentleman is ashamed of his words and exceeds his deeds. The ancients are ashamed of failing to catch their words." Therefore, sincerity knows shame, and then knows silence.He also said: "A gentleman wants to be slow in words but sensitive in deeds." A husband is sincere and sensitive in deeds, and then wants to be silent.A benevolent man speaks without words, and does not think that he is silent and keeps silent.It is also said: "Know it through silence", so you must know something, and you will not violate it all day long like a fool. "Silence makes it happen", that's why there must be success, and retreating to save one's own selfishness is also enough for those who make it happen.Therefore, there is no one who is good at silence like Yan Zi. "Darkness is the day chapter", the accumulation of silence. "Believe without speaking", and the way of silence is accomplished. "What does the sky say? How the four seasons go, how all things come into being." The way of silence comes to an end.How can anyone who is not a saint be able to match this!The husband is called eight sincerity.Zhong Yongxi also knew it, so he took it himself?

Yihai Let my brother keep the text to learn, and tell him to be determined.Keeping the text is easy to understand because of the order of the words, so that you can always look at it; and please make the words simple and close.Because of the book and with it. Husband learning, don't come before determination.If the ambition is not established, it is like not planting the roots, but doing nothing but cultivating and irrigating, and hard work will not accomplish anything.The reason why the world follows the rules and follows the customs and customs, and those who die and return to the bottom is that those who have ambitions are free.Therefore, Cheng Zi said: "If you have the ambition to be a sage, then you can learn from us." People who sincerely have the aspiration to be a sage must think about the reason why a sage is a sage.Isn't it because of the pure nature of his heart and the selfishness of no one's desire?The reason why a sage is a sage is that his heart is purely natural and has no desires. The only reason why I want to be a saint is that this heart is purely natural and has no desires.If you want this heart to be purely natural and have no human desires, then you must get rid of human desires and preserve the natural principles.If we want to get rid of human desires and preserve the principles of nature, then we must find a way to get rid of human desires and preserve the principles of nature.To seek the way to get rid of human desires and preserve the principles of nature, one must correct all foresight, examine all ancient precepts, and those who have the so-called merits of learning can then be taught.And there is something that cannot be tolerated. The so-called correctness of the fore-sighted people means that since they are teachers of the fore-sightedness, they should concentrate on it and only listen to the fore-sightedness.If there is a discrepancy in words, you must not discard it, but you must think about it;Therefore, "Records" said: "The teacher is strict, then the Tao is respected; the Tao is respected, and then the people know and respect the learning."If you listen to what you say without judging it, you still don’t listen to it; if you listen to it and think about it carelessly, you still don’t think about it; The so-called study of the ancient precepts by the sages is the teaching of the sages. Could it be that they teach people to get rid of human desires and preserve the principles of nature, such as the "Five Classics" and "Four Books".I just want to get rid of my human desires and keep my natural principles, but I can't find the prescription, so I seek it here, and when I unfold the scroll, it is really like a hungry man seeking food to be full; a sick man seeks medicine, seeking Healing is just for healing; the dark is for the lamp, just for light; the lame is for the stick, just for walking.There have been memorized and recited lectures in vain, and it is a disadvantage to use words of mouth! It is not easy for a husband to aspire.Confucius, a sage, still said: "When I have five out of ten, I aspire to learn. At thirty, I stand up."Although as for "not exceeding the rules", it is also aspiration not to exceed the rules.How can ambition be easy to see!The will of the husband is the master of Qi, the life of a person, the root of a tree, and the source of water.If the source is not dredged, it will die; if the root is not planted, the tree will wither;It is the study of a gentleman, no matter when and where, but not based on determination.If you look directly at it, you will see nothing else; if you listen to it with your ears, you will hear nothing else.Like a cat catching a mouse, like a chicken covering an egg, the spirit and mind are condensed and integrated, and you no longer know anything else.Once there is selfish desire, even if it is perceived, it will naturally not be tolerated.Therefore, for the slightest hint of selfish desire, just blame the ambition for failure to establish it, and the desire will retreat; if you hear the slightest movement of politeness, only blame the ambition for not establishing it, and then the politeness will disappear.Or when the mind is sluggish, and it is responsible for this aspiration, it means not to be lazy; When the mind is born, take responsibility for this ambition, you will not be angry; if greed is born, if you take responsibility for this ambition, you will not be greedy; if you are proud of your heart, if you take responsibility for this ambition, you will not be arrogant;There is no time when there is no breath but the time of determination and responsibility, and there is nothing but the place of determination and responsibility.Therefore, the power of responsibility is to get rid of human desires, like the singe of a raging fire, once the sun rises, the ghosts and monsters will disappear. Since ancient times, sages have set up teachings according to the times, although if they are different, there is little or no difference in their big fingers.It is said that "only the essence is the only one", "Yi" said "respect is straight from the inside, righteousness is from the outside", Confucius said "to be honest and upright, Bowen about etiquette", Zeng Zi said "loyalty and forgiveness", Zisi said "respect virtue and follow the Tao Asking about learning", Mencius said, "Collect righteousness and nourish qi, and ask for peace of mind", although if people say it for themselves, there are those who cannot be forced to agree, but if they ask for their essentials and destination, it is in line with the agreement.who?That's all.If you have the same way, you will have the same heart, and if you have the same heart, you will learn from the same.Those whose death is different are all heresies. The great trouble of future generations is especially lack of ambition, so today we talk about determination.The middle words and sentences, could it be determined.Gai's lifelong pursuit of learning is just a matter of making aspirations.If you say it in this way and integrate it into one, then every word and every sentence is the merit of being refined and unified;His theories of "Gezhi", "Boyue" and "loyalty and forgiveness" are all consistent.But if you can understand it with your heart, then you can believe that what you said is not false. Jiaxu Liu Shengshao of Chuyang learned from Yang Mingzi, but he regretted that his daily efforts were too numerous and ineffective, trivial and unimportant.Si Defu's simple and long-lasting way and sticking to it is called Yuezhai, and he asks for it to be a covenant.Yu said: "My son wants to make an appointment, and that's why he is bothered. He only follows the principle! There is only one principle, but there are thousands of differences in people's desires. Therefore, if one makes an appointment, ten thousand will be troublesome. Although, the principles are also different. Also, how can I seek the oneness? Although the principles are different, they all exist in my heart, and my heart is firmly united. It's just a covenant. If he sticks to the selfishness of human desires, interests will attack each other, reputation will be controlled by reputation, gains and losses will be compared, honor and disgrace will be entangled, right and wrong will be entangled, and he will be stagnant. I see it as annoying and difficult. However, there are very few people in the world who know the promise. Mencius said: "There is no other way of learning, just ask them to rest assured." The reason for their knowledge is the way of making promises! My son encourages it! My words are also annoying." Yihai Chenyang Liu Guanshi learned from Pan Zi, and since he had seen it, he resumed learning from Yang Mingzi.Taste said to himself: "When I am named Guan, I must see something, but I am still ignorant and don't see it." Bian Qiju said "Jian Zhai" to encourage himself.Asked Yu Yangmingzi: "Is the Tao visible?" He said: "Yes, there is, but it has not yet existed." He said: "But there is nothing to be seen?" Then why do you think you have seen it?" Said: "I have seen it but I have never seen it." Guan Shi said: "My disciple is very confused. The master said it clearly to teach me?" Yang Mingzi said: "The way cannot be said, but it is strong. It is obscurity for the sake of words; the Tao is invisible, and it is far away to see it. If there is something without experiencing it, it is true; if there is nothing without experiencing nothing, it is true nothing; seeing without experiencing it is true seeing. Have you not seen the sky? If you say that the sky is invisible, then you can see the cocklebur, the light of the ear, the sun and the moon, and the erroneous behavior of the four seasons. There is no certainty, and there is no gain when you hold on to it. There is no such thing as heaven. The sky is the way; Did the ancients never see anything?" Said: "The gods have no way but the celestial body. The benevolent sees it as benevolence, and the knower sees it as knowledge. Those who have a square body also see it but do not understand it. Yea. Yan Zi is as if something is established, Zhuoer. If you say "like", then it is not there; The son of the Yan family is a concubine. King Wen looked at the Tao but didn't see it, so he saw it." Said: "But why do I use my heart?" Said: "Those who are reduced to nothing, those who have nothing to use their hearts, are wandering and wandering. There is no return; those who are stagnant in what they have, and those who use their minds to those who are useless, work without merit. Between the existence of the husband and the non-existent, the beauty of seeing and not seeing cannot be sought in words. But I am so concerned about it, and I insist on it It cannot be seen, and it is the blind that guides the blind. The husband says that those who drink must not be drunk, and those who see food must not be full. If you ask him to be drunk and full, will you eat and drink? Husbands should also be wary of what they don’t see. It’s enough to see it, and it’s the way to seek it.” Yihai The behavior of a gentleman is just in line with reason, and doing nothing is just pretentious.However, there is a partiality of temperament.Those who are inclined to softness correct it with rigidity, but if it is lost, it will be arrogant;Anyone who corrects without restraint will go too far, and if he goes too far, he will become biased again.Therefore, the gentleman's theory of learning is not called "correction" but "restraint".There is nothing wrong with restraint to overcome one's selfishness, and selfishness to overcome one's selfishness.Correction is still not free from meaning, and meaning is also private.Therefore self-denial is correct, needless to say, correctors may not be able to do their best in the way of self-denial.Of course, correcting it when it is possible is also the way of self-denial.How hurtful is it to practice the truth of self-denial and pretend to be famous!The ancient gentleman was also named cheaply; the later gentleman was named first before he actually arrived, so it is not called "restraint" but "correction", which also means correcting the world.Fang Junshi cited the pavilion as "correction", please give it a name. Yihai The study of a gentleman is the study of the mind.Mind, nature; nature, heaven.The heart of a sage is purely natural, so there is nothing to learn.The next thing is, if the mind exists or not, its nature will be lost, so it must be learned in order to preserve its mind.Those who learn to keep their hearts, what do you want?Just ask your heart.What is the purpose of asking for your heart?Just keep your heart.To learn eruditely, to interrogate, to think carefully, to discriminate clearly, and to practice earnestly, all of them stick to the merits of their hearts.Those who guard their hearts are silent but often hear it, and invisible but often see it.Therefore, if you listen to it with your ears, you are afraid that it may be misunderstood; if you pay attention to it, you are afraid that it may escape.That's why it's obvious when it's subtle, and it's seen when it's most hidden. Good and evil are so subtle that they can't be hidden.Preciseness means preservation, and preservation leads to clarity; clarity means that the observation is fine, and the preservation is also one.If you are ignorant, you don't know it, if you pass it, you don't know it, and you don't care about it.Therefore, guard your heart carefully, and look at the buds of goodness, as if you are full with food; if you are walking on spring ice with a child in your arms, you are afraid that it may fall; The origin of its badness is like throwing poisonous poison into a soup, like tigers and snakes gathering wildly and thinking so as to avoid it, like thieves invading a mausoleum and thinking so as to win it.The reason why the ancient gentlemen became virtuous by concentrating on the Tao is not due to them.Although the sages of Yao, Shun, and King Wen were all conscientious and conscientious, let alone scholars!Later scholars, who give up their hearts and seek outside, are fragmented and broken, the more difficult and the farther they are, I am very sad! My friend Shiyu Yang Jingrui named his restaurant "Jin", which is why he knows it is the key to learning.Jingrui visited Mr. Chen's door in Baisha, and came back to seek him out, thinking he knew something.Another twenty years and suddenly if there is something, then I know that what I have seen is still not there.Once you return from illness, what will you do?If the king's aspirations are like this, what is the best way to advance in the Tao!The king sent his son Siyuan to learn from Yu, and he will also give it back. Because he discussed the meaning of the name of the king to tell Siyuan, he thought it was a gift from the king. Yihai Every time Tianze passes by, I often discuss the training of night air with him, and Jinjin has risen.So come back, please benefit.It is said again: "The breath of the night air is nourished by day and day, and the repeated death of the dog is not enough to survive. Today, husbands, teachers and friends gather here to learn from morals and improve morality. Gradually, Entering Yan, on the contrary, is ashamed. Although there are non-secluded sprouts, their nourishment is also rare. If they live in isolation, their emotions can be unbridled but not the police, and desires can be indulged but not the mud. Yan, if you lose your ambition, even if there is reason and righteousness, what it nourishes is rare. Therefore, it is said: "If you get it, nothing will grow; if you lose it, nothing will disappear." Madam, who is irrational and righteous? Huh? However, there are too many people who support them, so if there are only a few of them. Tianze encourages it!" Wuyin Being straightforward is called Tao, and those who are sincere are also; cultivating the Tao is called teaching, and those who are sincere are also.故曰：“自诚明，谓之性；自明诚，谓之教。”《中庸》为诚之者而作，修道之事也。道也者，性也，不可须臾离也。而过焉，不及焉，离也。是故君子有修道之功。戒慎乎其所不睹，恐惧乎其所不闻，微之显，诚之不可掩也。修道之功若是其无间，诚之也夫！然后喜怒哀乐之未发谓之中，发而皆中节谓之和，道修而性复矣。致中和，则大本立而达道行，知天地之化育矣。非至诚尽性，其孰能与于此哉！是修道之极功也。而世之言修道者离矣，故特著其说。 Jiashen 孟子云：“君子深造之以道，欲其自得之也。自得之则居之安；居之安则资之深；资之深则取之左右逢其原。故君子欲其自得之也。”夫率性之谓道，道，吾性也；性，吾生也。而何事于外求？世之学者，业辞章，习训诂，工技艺，探赜而索隐，弊精极力，勤苦终身，非无所谓深造之者。然亦辞章而已耳，训诂而已耳，技艺而已耳。非所以深造于道也，则亦外物而已耳，宁有所谓自得逢原者哉！古之君子，戒慎不睹，恐惧不闻，致其良知而不敢须臾或离者，斯所以深造乎是矣。是以大本立而达道行，天地以位，万物以育，于左右逢原乎何有？ 黄勉之省曾氏，以“自得”名斋，盖有志于道者。请学于予而蕲为之说。予不能有出于孟氏之言也，为之书孟氏之言。嘉靖甲申六月朔。 Yiyou 南元真之学于阳明子也，闻致知之说而恍若有见矣。既而疑于博约先后之训，复来请曰：“致良知以格物，格物以致其良知也，则既闻教矣。敢问先博我以文，而后约我以礼也，则先儒之说，得无亦有所不同欤？”阳明子曰：“理，一而已矣；心，一而已矣。故圣人无二教，而学者无二学。博文以约礼，格物以致其良知，一也。故先后之说，后儒支缪之见也。夫礼也者，天理也。天命之性具于吾心，其浑然全体之中，而条理节目森然毕具，是故谓之天理。天理之条理谓之礼。是礼也，其发见于外，则有五常百行，酬酢变化，语默动静，升降周旋，隆杀厚薄之属；宜之于言而成章，措之于为而成行，书之于册而成训；炳然蔚然，其条理节目之繁，至于不可穷诘，是皆所谓文也。是文也者，礼之见于外者也；礼也者，文之存于中者也。文，显而可见之礼也；礼，微而难见之文也。是所谓体用一源，而显微无间者也。是故君子之学也，于酬酢变化、语默动静之间而求尽其条理节目焉，非他也，求尽吾心之天理焉耳矣；于升降周旋、隆杀厚薄之间而求尽其条理节目焉，非他也，求尽吾心之天理焉耳矣。求尽其条理节目焉者，博文也；求尽吾心之天理焉者，约礼也。文散于事而万殊者也，故曰博；礼根于心而一本者也，故曰约。博文而非约之以礼，则其文为虚文，而后世功利辞章之学矣；约礼而非博学于文，则其礼为虚礼，而佛、老空寂之学矣。是故约礼必在于博文，而博文乃所以约礼。二之而分先后焉者，是圣学之不明，而功利异端之说乱之也。 昔者颜子之始学于夫子也，盖亦未知道之无方体形像也，而以为有方体形像也；未知道之无穷尽止极也，而以为有穷尽止极也；是犹后儒之见事事物物皆有定理者也，是以求之仰赞瞻忽之间，而莫得其所谓。及闻夫子博约之训，既竭吾才以求之，然后知天下之事虽千变万化，而皆不出于此心之一理；然后知殊途而同归，百虑而一致，然后知斯道之本无方体形象，而不可以方体形象求之也；本无穷尽止极，而不可以穷尽止极求之也。故曰：'虽欲从之，末由也已。 '盖颜子至是而始有真实之见矣。博文以约礼，格物以致其良知也，亦宁有二学乎哉？ " Bingxu 同志之在安成者，间月为会五日，谓之“惜阴”，其志笃矣；然五日之外，孰非惜阴时乎？离群而索居，志不能无少懈，故五日之会，所以相稽切焉耳。 Alas!天道之运，无一息之或停；吾心良知之运，亦无一息之或停。良知即天道，谓之“亦”，则犹二之矣。知良知之运无一息之或停者，则知惜阴矣；知惜阴者，则知致其良知矣。 “子在川上曰：逝者如斯夫！不舍昼夜。”此其所以学如不及，至于发愤忘食也。尧舜兢兢业业，成汤日新又新，文王纯亦不已，周公坐以待旦，惜阴之功，宁独大禹为然？子思曰：“戒慎乎其所不睹，恐惧乎其所不闻，知微之显，可以入德矣。”或曰：“鸡鸣而起，孳孳为利。凶人为不善，亦惟日不足，然则小人亦可谓之惜阴乎？
