It is true that reading and life are actually two and one, and one and two. Jiang Yang's words and Wang Yangming's unity of knowledge and action should be exactly the same. Food, clothing, housing and transportation, daily necessities, these real trivial things in life can be artistic if they are mentioned with exquisite heart. Even if you are poor, you can watch the artistic life through reading. For example, a meal of Buddha's feet suddenly makes a woman's world appear as a quiet and solemn pure land.
It's just that I think there's one thing that Mr. Jiang Yang didn't point out, and that's the role of thinking. When it comes to thinking, besides the well-known saying in The Analects that "learning without thinking is useless, and thinking without learning is dangerous", the core "Wen Hughes" that I think of is the best method chosen by Manjusri Bodhisattva among 25 kinds of childlike innocence methods in the Buddhist Sutra Leng Yan Jing. If "smelling" is regarded as reading, isn't "repairing" life? "Thinking" is the bridge between them.
Similarly, I think Mr. Jiang Yang should appear in the ninth article of Vimalakīrti Classic. I'm not sure which unique method she is talking about, but it's definitely not. Manjusri is speechless, and all the screen names are deducted.
