What exactly do Wang Yangming's four teachings mean? Why are these four sentences said by Wang Yangming the essence of Wang Men's mind?

There is no body of good and evil, there is action of good and evil, knowing good and evil is a conscience, and doing good and evil is a dignified thing. What are the subtleties of these four sentences that can highly summarize the outline of psychology?

The first sentence ————————

Wang Yangming believes that "saints are the same as people and things in the world, and Confucianism, Buddhism, Lao zi and Zhuang zi are all used by me, which is called the road." The second is selfish, called the trail. "

The absence of good and evil is the noumenon of the mind, which is similar to the heart-shaped emptiness in Buddhism, but it is different from the emptiness in Buddhism, that is, there is no thought in the mind, and it must be moved by the situation. If water is generally invisible, body and mind are as empty as saints, and heaven and earth have no thoughts and desires.

The second sentence ————————

Body and mind are empty, just like a saint's world. When people have the distinction between good and evil, it means that people's subjective consciousness has activities, which is the so-called conation (conscious activities, that is, the state of mortals).

The third sentence ————————

Before expounding the third sentence, explain what is natural and what is desirable. ..

In Zhu's philosophical thought, "the principle of nature" contains truth, law, order, norms and stipulation. It is not only a big concept of heaven, but also a small concept of things, or a principle of people. The principle of nature is the principle of nature, the common sense of all things, the primitive law of things, the order of society, and the ethics, reason and reason of people.

When you didn't see this flower, it died with your heart. When you look at this flower, the color of this flower suddenly becomes clear, and you know that this flower is not outside your heart. ——— Quoted from Wang Yangming ... Zhu believes that the existence of justice has no subjective meaning, while Wang Yangming believes that justice does not exist because people's subjective consciousness is connected with everything in the world and waiting for its operation. ..

Heaven and earth are unintentional, taking the heart of everything as the heart and treating everything like a dog. It can be seen that there is no heaven. What laws of all things and what social order are based on people's subjective understanding. I wonder if I can realize that it is reasonable. It can be said that Wang Men's Mind Theory is a very idealistic philosophy, just like the six groups of Zen machines are not moved by the wind, not by the flag, but by the heart ... so the mind is the same. ..

Being able to distinguish good from evil shows that people's subjective consciousness has played a role. The most important thing here is that good and evil are human desires and knowledge is justice. With justice, people can distinguish between good and evil, and with desire, justice can distinguish between objects, one is the ontology of cognition and the other is the object of cognition. Man's desire is his own subjective conscious activity, and justice is the stipulation of his own conscious activity and the behavior derived from it. The relationship between them is closely related to their origin, so Zhu's slogan of upholding justice and eliminating human desires is nonsense. Man's desire and justice are integrated. How to remove one and keep the other is not feasible in subjective cognition and dialectical logic.

The fourth sentence ————————

The last sentence, however, is about how to understand the profound meaning of mind and nature through the traditional Confucian course "Teacher". Because justice and human desire are inseparable, it is necessary to constantly reduce one's own desires in order to achieve the realm of carefree saints. This depends on cutting off one's own evil thoughts every day to achieve a perfect state (the best is not the opposition of evil, but the best without good and evil).

The sages said that the more you learn, the less you learn! What you increase is knowledge, but what you decrease is desire! Heaven and earth are unintentional, and the heart of everything is the heart. Because 84,000 delusions are the only way to turn Buddhism into 84,000 methods! Therefore, for the sake of Tao, it is necessary to reduce delusions and let nature appear, which is why Master Shen Xiu wrote: As a bodhi tree, your heart is a mirror platform, so you should always wipe it to avoid creating dust! Master Huineng's: Bodhi is not a tree, nor is a mirror a platform. There is nothing in this book, so where does it cause dust? It broke four phases and went straight to nothing! Of course, it is higher than the magic master, which reflects the ability of Zen Buddhism to become a Buddha, but it is not easy to wipe it frequently every day, let alone become a Buddha. And Wang Yangming took the road of a master of magic performance, and gradually recovered his true colors by diligent practice! This also shows the difference between the heart and the Buddha. Although both are idealism, there are subtle differences.

Know that a man defends his daughter, that his white is subject to his black, that he honors his humiliation, and that he loses, and that virtue is simple and endless! From this perspective, it is consistent with the loss and loss of Taoism. This shows that the three religions are in harmony, and the water milk family. It can also be seen that Wang's man psychology is correct.

When Wang Yangming was studying, he traversed the three schools of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, chose their excellent ideas and used them, and then Longchang became an eternal saint. This is really great ... so when analyzing his philosophical thoughts, it is best to give consideration to the philosophical essence of Buddhism and Taoism, achieve dialectical unity and enhance mutual understanding. Only when the three factions took care of each other did they know that the ancients said that the red lotus, the white lotus leaf and the three religions were one. This sentence is true, and it has been running for thousands of years. ..

These four sentences are really four sentences in Wang Shengren's Outline of Psychology, and they are the profound meaning of psychology. These four sentences fully explain what the true colors are (such as saints, heaven and earth) {the first sentence}, what we mortals are {the second sentence}, how our consciousness rises, and how to interpret Zhu Cheng's theory from a psychological point of view {the third sentence}, {

"So, being a saint is purely natural, not natural. Therefore, although mortals are willing to learn and make their hearts pure and natural, they can also be saints. Although the world is big, he has a lot of brains and conscience. Although an ordinary person can also be a saint. " -Quoted from Wang Shengren ..

The theoretical framework of psychology is probably like this. This is my personal understanding, my personal opinion ... but I still don't fully understand it. I feel very, very weak when I write. I didn't read the classics carefully in a short time. It is inevitable that I am generous with a smile ... if I want to achieve something, I need to practice hard for a long time. ..

Conscience is to become a saint, which is the ultimate goal of mind learning, which is the knowledge of teaching people to become saints. ..

How to lead to conscience is to get rid of evil and keep good, and getting rid of evil and keeping good is the unity of knowledge and action. ..

The unity of knowledge and practice is the highest significance of Wang Men's psychology, and the vernacular is the methodology of integrating theory with practice and doing everything. No matter what you want to do, you can't do without knowing and doing. In fact, I don't know much about the unity of knowing and doing, but I know that only by mastering the unity of knowing and doing can the spiritual power in Wangmen's heart be transformed into a force that can produce practical results in reality. ..

Confucian soldiers teach Taoism with politics and philosophy, and read Yangming to watch leopards. They bowed their heads and worshipped Yangming all their lives. ..
