The Research Of Bai Sha Disciple’s Meditation Kungfu

Chen Baisha is the beginning of mind learning in Ming dynasty,whose "raising a clue in quietness" was inherited by his disciples He Qin,Zhang Xu and Li Chengji,Lin Guang.who put forward different theories of meditation kungfu according to their own practice and understanding,presenting unique academic characteristics.The first chapter analyzes the theoretical origin and the background of Baisha’s disciples.In the early Ming dynasty,cheng zhu’s neo-confucianism was fixed as the official ideology by the rigid ruling class,and Confucian scholars moved towards the inner exploration of subjectivity in the rigid ideological environment.Although the theory and form of meditation kungfu originated from Buddhism and Taoism,the Confucians also attached great importance to it as an important way of cultivation.After years of fruitless learning,Chen Baisha turned to meditation and seek for the "unity of mind and principle",finally realized the harmony with Tao.Chen Baisha’s meditation had a direct impact on the disciple’s meditation kungfu.The second chapter discusses the meditation of He Qin,Zhang Xu,Lin Guang and Li Chengji from three aspects: the reason for choosing meditation kungfu,the specific conduct of meditation kungfu and the final realization of meditation kungfu.He Qin’s practice of meditation was different from baisha’s practices,with a strong traditional color of cheng-zhu’s neo-confucianism.He laid particular stress on the specific practice,and advocated the cultivation of this heart with "respect" and "knowledge based on things",so that this heart can be connected with the nature.Zhang Xu used the method of "sitting and forgetting" to describe baisha’s kungfu of "keeping clues in silence",and understood it as "forgetting the form,donating the eyes and ears,and removing the mind",which to a large extent has gone beyond the scope of baisha’s kungfu.Li Chengji studied from baisha all his life,washing his body and mind by sitting in a quiet room,advocating that movement and movement should have the same effect as inside and outside,and paid attention to the heart of nature,which had a distinct Confucian classics and Taoist spirit.Lin Guang advocated that the mind of moral noumenon should be regarded as the most permanent thing when sitting quietly.He also believed that through self-cultivation,one could know the way beyond all existence,and realized the unity of Tao and heart.The third chapter explores the questions and challenges that Chen baisha faced in his meditation.Baisha’s disciples debated with other scholars about whether thebaisha meditation self-cultivation was different from buddhist meditation,baisha in meditation how to deal with the relationship between static and dynamic,rely on meditation whether can realize the same as Confucian’s way.Zhang Xu thought that bai sha’s meditation was inherit Zhou Zi and Cheng Zi’s meditation.In order to maintain the reputation of baisha,Lin Guang criticized Zhang Xu’s articles,and proposed that baisha’s meditation was also talked about movement and silence.Zhan Ruoshui refuted the statement that Luo Qinshun and Xia Shangpu accused baisha of being zen,and believed that baisha’s teaching was completely based on the tradition of Confucianism,and refuted the buddhist language.At the same time,Wang Jiankui and Huang Zuo also believed that baisha is not zen,and explained from the characteristics of baisha’s learning.
