Many people think this sentence means: good luck comes from heaven. As a result, people make one of the most common mistakes-believing in external mysterious forces, but ignoring their own internal pursuit. The purpose of the Book of Changes is completely people-oriented. The first divination in the Book of Changes is dry, which emphasizes people's continuous self-improvement.
Instead of asking God to worship Buddha, ask yourself. For example, self-reliance, self-blessing and self-improvement mentioned above. "Self" refers to self, also called small universe; "Heaven" refers to heaven, also known as the universe.
The Book of Changes advocates the unity of heaven and man. The small universe of man and the big universe of heaven are integrated, that is, the unity of man and nature. God bless those who help themselves. Natural internal factors, small environment; Heaven is an external cause and a big environment. So both the big environment and the small environment are blessing themselves. Of course, there is no harm in getting what you want.
We have been pursuing good luck all our lives. Remember, the point is ourselves, not others. The Book of Changes told us from the beginning that we should rely on ourselves and don't expect help from others. Therefore, Confucius also said, "Don't complain about others". This means that we must rely on ourselves. Failure has nothing to do with others, but we didn't work hard and didn't do well.
If there is a good family, it must be Qing Yu.
Poorly accumulated houses will cause more disasters.
Good fortune is relative and changeable. Some things are good for Zhang San and may be bad for Li Si. There are many variables in this, but when everything is changing rapidly, there is only one fate, and that is moral cultivation, which is what we are talking about today. A business that can make money will obviously lose money in the end, and the reason is often a temporary evil thought. And some people seem to be doing nothing, but the final situation is very good, as if God is blessing them, but in fact it is just people's good thoughts. It may be unfavorable at first, but under the guidance of good thoughts, it can be corrected by itself.
Heaven is profitable and modest, while tunnel is profitable and modest.
Ghosts and gods harm modesty, while human nature is evil.
When "surplus" is full, it will overflow; "Modesty" is the acceptance of dissatisfaction. "heaven" is to make the profit lose money and compensate the dissatisfaction; The "tunnel" is also to let the surplus overflow and flow to the unprofitable side; The nature of "ghosts and gods" is also full of harm and empty; The nature of "people" is to hate enrichment and like dissatisfaction.
Gangua is the image of six hexagrams in Yijing. In the divinatory symbols, the upper divinatory symbol is Kun, and the lower divinatory symbol is Gen, which represents the mountain. Modesty is rooted in Kun, who is like an underground mountain. Yamamoto is tall, but he is underground, too tall to show. This applies to people, symbolizing his high virtue, but he can consciously not show it.
Because the nature of heaven, earth, man and God is both beneficial and modest, which is beneficial to "modest" people. What he did was blessed by the God of heaven and earth, so he was able to "prosper". This is why people in China regard modesty as a virtue. In fact, the essential meaning of "modesty" is a spirit of never being complacent and always making progress, which has nothing to do with the hypocrite style of bowing to negativity and being arrogant in the form of modesty. "Modest" people, like the sea, are broad and broad, but they are located under the hundred rivers and accommodate them.
Kang long, there are feelings.
The original intention of this sentence is that a dragon rising from a cloud has risen to the most extreme place, and there is no room for further progress and it cannot fall, so it is melancholy and regrettable.
When people do anything, if they don't think carefully, don't consider the consequences, and don't consider all kinds of possibilities and changes, then they will get failure or tragedy. Kang Long, You Have Regret tells us that we should know how to advance and retreat in everything, not only to advance, but also to find a good way out for ourselves. Otherwise there will be danger.
Straight, square and big, there is no harm in not learning.
This is "Kun" hexagram. There is no harm in being honest and trustworthy, principled, grand and inclusive, living by it and not learning worldly things.
Honest benevolence; The party is very principled; A big, grand and inclusive mind represents the image of standing straight, living upright, broad-minded and comprehensive. "There is no harm in not learning", and there is no harm in not learning worldly things. The "learning" of "not learning" means that people deliberately carve it. As Wang Bi said, "Success is without false training", emphasizing the quality of nature and opposing hypocrisy and arrogance.
Heaven and earth do not meet, do not meet, heaven and earth intersect, and everything is connected.
"Wu" and "Tai" are both hexagrams in the Book of Changes. The divination of "nothing" means that heaven and earth are not in harmony, and the divination of "Tai" means that heaven and earth are in harmony.
The qi of heaven and earth is not connected, and everything is not born. This is a deadly divination. The atmosphere of heaven and earth intersect, everything grows and the world prospers. This is great luck. This enlightens us that people should learn to communicate when doing things. The ancients said, "Stones from other mountains can attack jade."
Everything can grow only when heaven and earth are connected. Only when people communicate with each other can society be full of vitality. Communication is a broad usage, such as reading and learning, and it is also a kind of communication and dialogue. So no matter what you do, don't confine yourself to your own "small universe", you must communicate with family and friends, with the ancients, with people of different ages and with foreigners. Only in this way can our world be more substantial and colorful.
No blandness or malice, no past, no difficult complaints.
There is no flat land that does not become a hillside, and there is no place that cannot be returned. Persist in purity in suffering, and there will be good results.
The world has been changing. Although the hardships of life are inevitable, they can be turned into smooth roads. The Book of Changes teaches us to be patient and chaste in difficulties. Coincidentally, the Analects of Confucius recorded that Confucius was trapped and had no food. He told us that "the gentleman is poor and the villain is poor." A gentleman can stick to himself in a difficult situation and get through it, but a villain doesn't know how to stick to principles. When he is in trouble, he will only defect and escape.
Inches bend in order to believe.
The sting of the dragon and snake kept you alive.
The inchworm (an invertebrate insect) bends and stretches; Dragons and snakes dormant their bodies so that they can continue to live.
The Book of Changes shows the ups and downs of life in the world from inchworm and dragon snake-for the sake of long-term development, temporarily wronged to accumulate strength. There is a couplet to prove it: where there is a will, there is a way, cross the rubicon, 102 Qin Guan will eventually Chu; Hard-working people, heaven rewards hard work, and never stops. More than 3,000 armour can swallow Wu.
Sword, a gentleman speaks Xiu De.
"Sword" is the thirty-ninth divination in Zhouyi. Its original meaning is "lame", and it is extended to be difficult, dangerous and inconvenient. One of the ten unpleasant things in life, everyone will experience a period of "bad luck, life is doomed". Facing the stumbling road, Zhouyi tells us to learn to be "anti-Xiu De".
"Reflexive Xiu De" means that when we are in trouble, we should first reflect and reflect on what we did wrong to lead to this result.
The life of a gentleman lies in his position.
Putting life in the right position means putting your position in the right position and gathering strength to complete your mission.
Including two aspects: first, correct posture and concentrate; Impartia, with a thick and straight appearance, is used to describe the mentality and posture during meditation. Zeng Guofan once set himself twelve ways: sit quietly for four hours at any time every day and stay in the right place, such as Zhending. Second, mindfulness stands upright in the right position, gathers strength, works in a down-to-earth manner, and completes its mission. Each of us should straighten our position, gather strength and complete our life mission.
