1. The ruler of the body is the heart, what arises from the heart is intention, the essence of intention is knowledge, and the place of intention is matter.
2. There is no calamity greater than the merits of the heavens, no crime greater than concealing the good deeds of others, no evil greater than the ability to attack, no humiliation greater than the shame of forgetting oneself, the four are prepared and the disaster is complete.
3. I am only afraid that the mirror will not be clear, but I am not afraid that things will come and not be reflected. Paying attention to events is also based on current events, but scholars must first have a clear understanding of the situation. Scholars only suffer from the fact that their minds are not clear, and they do not worry that things cannot be completed.
4. Seeking the best in everything is outside the scope of righteousness. The highest good is the essence of the mind, but it is the "clear virtue" that reaches the highest level, but it is not separated from things.
5. 'Knowing nature with all your heart' is a matter of 'knowing and doing well'; 'cultivating one's mind to cultivate one's nature and serving nature' is a matter of 'learning, knowing and benefiting from doing'; Knowing and doing things.
6. The truth of all things lies within my heart.
7. Planting this big tree in the abbot's land, the rain and dew and the power of the soil's veins can only nourish this big root. If you want to plant some Jia Gu on the four sides, if the upper part is covered by the leaves of this tree and the lower part is entangled with the roots of this tree, how can it grow well? This tree must be cut down without leaving any roots before Jiagu can be planted. Otherwise, if you cultivate and cultivate it, you will only nourish this root.
8. Just thinking about keeping the heavenly principles is determination. If you don't forget this, your mind will naturally condense over time, just like what Taoists call "the holy fetus". This thought of heavenly principles always exists, and when it is tamed by the great Holy Spirit, it only keeps and expands this thought.
9. The heart is reason. There is no reason outside the heart, there is nothing outside the heart, and there is nothing outside the heart.
10. Principles are inexhaustible and endless. I told my son that I could not gain anything less, so I said this was the end of it. Furthermore, ten years, twenty years, fifty years, there will be no end. "The other day he said: "The saints are like Yao and Shun, and the goodness above Yao and Shun is endless; the evil is like Jie and Zhou, but the evil under Jie and Zhou is endless. If Jie and Zhou are still alive, will the evil words stop here? When all good deeds were exhausted, why did King Wen "look at the way but not see it"?
11. If you are not good at seeing, you will get sick.
12. The heart of a saint is like a bright mirror. It is just a bright mirror, and it responds to feelings and reflects everything. There is no such thing as the shape of the past that still exists, and the shape that has not yet been reflected. If later generations say that this is the case, it is completely contrary to the teachings of the sages.
