Scholars say: it is extremely great to be a first-rate figure in the Ming Dynasty. Great achievements have been made militarily and politically.
Yangming theory directly influenced the Meiji Restoration in Japan. Takehiko Okada, a Japanese master of Yangming studies, said that the real Renaissance in China began with Wang Yangming.
Wang Yangming is the only master of Confucianism who shuttles between thought and practice in the history of China.
Du Weiming: 2 1 century is the century of Wang Yangming.
When Wang Yangming was a child, he went to Mr. Xue Xue: "What is the first thing in life?" The Confucian teacher replied seriously: "Obedience is the first ear." Wang Yangming shook his head and replied, "The first thing in life is to study and be a saint."
Wang Yangming, who was determined to be a saint since he was a child, aimed at sages. He did not read sage books wholeheartedly, but cared about the world and was both civil and military. Wang Yangming has a wide range of interests, such as chess, archery, swords, guns and clubs, arranging troops, calligraphy, poetry and songs, Taoist health preservation and so on. ...
By chance, Wang Yangming met Lou Liang, a master of Neo-Confucianism. Wang Yangming asked how to become a saint, and Lou Liang answered, of course saints will learn. The only way to become an inner saint is to learn from things. This encounter changed Wang Yangming's life track.
Wang Yangming, a talented man, was framed by eunuchs, sentenced to prison and suffered greatly physically and mentally. A few years later, he was sent to the Dragon Field, where he went to a retreat. In this place full of miasma and few people can survive, Wang Yangming met a blackbird. After that, Longchang became famous for his enlightenment, mind learning, and unity of knowledge and action.
Our impetuous heart was born and settled, and then we settled down and returned to this world life. We are doing things with the spirit of being born. China's philosophy has revolved around it for thousands of years. How to arrange our most difficult life (settle down), the solution revolves around one thing, unified birth and WTO entry.
My heart is the world, and the world is my heart. Body and mind originally existed, but we didn't find it, because all kinds of delusions, distractions and greed covered it up and drove it away through practice. Truth is not in the heart, but in the heart, it is self-sufficient. Yangming's theory of mind is a knowledge to improve our life and emotional realm, not a knowledge to improve our minds.
