I haven’t said anything yet. I always like to hear about Xiao Shao, so I know what they are coming for. Teacher Ding asked casually, but let the couple rise to the height of "talking about Taoism". This question was asked to take the Hua Zhen trip.

It is not common for monks to talk about Taoism, and it is not casual. Although anyone can argue about spiritual practice, they usually do not reach the height of talking about Taoism.
It is not easy to talk about Tao. It is accompanied by the examination of Tao’s mind, which means that it is related to verifying the Tao that you have cultivated and discussing what you are doing and what you are going to do.
Hua Zhen was a little surprised and nervous. Teacher Ding casually asked and was thrown back. The question was "Beauty?"
Chapter 547, beauty
Hua Zhen’s trip "to the United States"
He answered four words, which are also the characteristics of the theory of Taoism. He should briefly and generally explain what his practice proves and what he wants, but the words are accompanied by divine thoughts, which are so wonderful that they can no longer be shaped by divine thoughts.
Different people may receive different information and feel different when they hear it, which is known to everyone, even ordinary people.
This is also a kind of magical power. It is said that to master wisdom or achievements requires seven realms of cultivation, but most monks in the seven realms may not be able to master it. Most people who really appreciate wisdom are experts in the nine realms.
If you talk about wisdom, it is not a theory, but ordinary people debate the scene here and now. I didn’t expect it beforehand, but it was also a chance that my heart realized the achievement.
The simplest view of ordinary people in the United States is usually to look good, like it and want it.
Then what is good-looking, like, comfortable and want? This is not only to discuss aesthetic standards, but also to clarify the so-called aesthetic process principle.
In ancient times, some people thought that the beauty of things included the mystery, and in mathematics, conformity contained a certain rhythm, which was reflected in external harmony and moving.
Since ancient times, philosophers have recognized that "beauty" is a dialectical cause and effect that is objective in the world of ideas or wrapped in absolute spirit.
On whether beauty is objective or not, even if it is beyond the concept of specific things, aesthetic body is still a subjective process, which is everyone’s critical discovery of the object.
Many people tend to have a narrow sense of the concept of "beauty", and mainly understand the artistic aesthetics, especially the visual aesthetics, such as whether a painting, a dress or a landscape looks good or not.
It is no wonder that most of the information received by human brain comes from visual senses.
However, the concept of beauty goes far beyond the scope of artistic aesthetics, and it is a critical discovery of everything in this world.
People can be "beautiful" in almost everything, such as beautiful scenery, delicious food, beautiful colors, kind words, virtues, dreams, beautiful things … and they are beautiful people.
Beauty is good and better than what is good and better. That is the question that human culture needs to answer, and every life needs to answer itself.
Is there a class in aesthetic standards? Many people still argue that there is no need to argue that beauty is the goal and beauty is the pursuit of physical facts. How can there be no class characteristics in world aesthetics?
Opponents often say that a landscape is beautiful and an object is beautiful. Anyone who looks at it will find it beautiful … This is the commonality of beauty, otherwise the so-called consensus on the concept of beauty will not be.
But beauty is not only a common aesthetic, but also a unique one. It not only judges natural things, but also represents everyone’s interests and pursuits, including everyone’s wishes, efforts and dreams. That’s where they go.
For example, many people wish to achieve class leap, which makes them easily accept the temptation of consumerism and create the illusion of class leap in their subconscious, which is almost the logic of luxury marketing in the world.
Is theology the end of science? Of course not! Science, philosophy and theology all end in aesthetics. We have to answer the question of where to go. What is the purpose of everything we do? We have to lead the world to the square, even if it is to draw a pie.
Such as nirvana, natural beauty, harmony between man and nature, harmony between heaven and earth, and the beauty of everything!
Hua Zhenxing didn’t answer what is good or better. He answered what is beauty.
Beauty is our pursuit of the body, and it is the ultimate goal of all our actions! It is beyond attitude and method, and all attitude and methods are it and because of it.
The world often talks about "truth", "goodness" and "beauty", but these three are not parallel, and the latter is beyond the former two.
Truth is attitude, ability, kindness is method path, and beauty is both a goal and a direction. The purpose of truth and goodness is beauty.
It is indescribable and it is actually contained in the desire for life, society, the world and the universe, even if the ideal is not realized, it will end.
Since childhood, Hua Zhen has been taught by three old people, not only by words but also by example. They are all excellent people who are suitable for their own roads, but they have different styles.
Uncle Mo seems to be a simple ascetic monk, but is it "bitter" for him to teach Hua Zhen to travel? Of course not!
In fact, his old man personally told Hua Zhen that it is meaningful to practice suffering and change the process of suffering efforts
If people have suffered enough in the vast majority of neighborhoods in Guinea at the beginning, there is no uglier place in purgatory.
If suffering can’t be changed, it’s torture and injury, and it won’t give people strength. Hope and expectation are the real strength. That’s what Uncle Mo did.
If Uncle Mo didn’t form the straw sandals gang, how could there be a new alliance later?
Although Uncle Mo is simple, what he pursues is not hardship, but teaching people to change hardship! Uncle Mo’s example mainly teaches Hua Zhen to be "true"
Uncle Mo really shows himself.
Uncle Mo’s pursuit is Park Sumei’s "true" attitude. His old man’s life is really good, and he has reached the realm of returning to nature. He taught Hua Zhenxing to pursue beauty through real efforts instead of praying in his mind.
It is the vast majority of people in this world who can’t reach the realm of his old man’s house and can’t learn it.
If Uncle Mo’s mission to Hua Zhen is true, then Kefu’s mission to Hua Zhen is good.
Goodness is the norm that everyone needs, and every era has its needs, but the logic is the same.
All "order" in the world is a legal body established by establishing conventions on good cognition, such as public order and good customs.
The whole governance system of New Guinea was founded under the guidance of Kefu.
The two most important things of order are to ensure people’s safety and social justice, and its source is the cognition of "goodness"
The collapse of order will bring chaos and suffering. For example, in several countries, the legal system of the former sovereign state was almost copied, but it was never really implemented and there was no power to ensure its implementation.
This is that order has lost its "truth" and thus its "goodness" and the "beauty" that others yearn for.
There is another situation, that is, the order is unreasonable or a certain situation becomes unfair and no longer meets people’s understanding of goodness, so it is necessary to constantly improve and seek more "beautiful" results.
It may be the most difficult thing for old man Yu Yang to teach Hua Zhen to do things, because his old man’s house directly points to "beauty"!
If Yang Lao-tou is willing to change into a young man, he must be a handsome old man even now, but that’s not what he taught Hua Zhen to be beautiful.
The interest in his life is to pursue the body. If someone asks that common question, what kind of person do you want to be? Old man Yang needs to answer. He is just showing!
Is it to train a chef that Yang Lao-tou has asked Hua Zhen to hold a cookbook as a comic book since childhood?
When people are hungry, being full means enjoying farming labor, although it is hard, what people pursue is to be full and warm, and all work is the means and food and clothing is the goal.
What about after eating? People are certainly not satisfied with cassava paste, and they all want to make food better, more nutritious and more enjoyable.
Hua Zhenxing is not extravagant, but it does not prevent him from making all kinds of delicious food by himself, even if others have seven realms of cultivation, they can already avoid food.
This process can become a kind of personal interest cultivation, which reflects the attitude towards everything.
Yang Laotou taught Hua Zhen to practice the ancient and refined skills, and Hua Zhen to practice the cultivation of the yuan. This is the experience of vitality, the beauty of life and the pursuit of the beauty of physical and mental state
Yang Laotou taught Hua Zhen to do things directly at the source and the target, but it was too idealistic for ordinary people to imagine but it was hard to do.
Hua Zhenxing was deeply influenced by Yang Lao-tou, because he was raised by Yang Lao-tou and realized "the beauty of places to go", and when he looked around, the world he saw was obviously so ugly that he wanted to find places to go.
He became an idealist, pure beauty lover.
Because Uncle Mo and Ke Fuhua really didn’t become another Yang Tehong, he not only pursued his own change, but also changed his world to make himself a better place.
Hua Zhenxing is the largest capitalist in several countries. He has brought the monopoly of capital into full play and controlled Huanxiang Industry 100%. Every inch of land and every industry in Huanxiang Special State belongs to him even in the name of every plant and tree.
This may be what some people pursue, this ultimate beauty, but it is not what Hua Zhenxing pursues. He does it in the name of the wind, and all this is his means to create a vision of the world.
Beauty is all attitudes, the pursuit of beauty is all means, and ultimately beauty is the destination of all people, no matter whether everyone is beautiful or not.
