Comparing ZhuZi&Yangming's Fundamental Differences With Meditation Time

As a kind of self-cultivation effort,"Dai Jing" was formally proposed by Zhou Dunyi in "Tai Chi Tuo".The upper part of "Tai Chi Tuo" talked about heaven and earth,and described the evolution process of the universe in which Tai Chi moves and generates everything.Among them,"Being the best for others is also the best".But because the"heart" of the foreign object is touched,good and evil will follow.The saint comes out to determine the moral principles of "Zhongzhengrenyi" and the cultivation method of"main quiet" to tend to good and avoid evil.Here in Zhou Dunyi,"quietness" is both an ontological existence and a cultivation effort.Meditation became an important method of Confucianism from the beginning of the second journey.Ming Dao observed "the mood before anger,sorrow,joy,joy,sorrow,and joy".In the theory of Yichuan cultivation practice,meditation is just to clear away the meditation at the beginning,calm down the mind,and consolidate the body and mind to prepare for the body of the body.He believes that specializing in "jing" will eventually risk falling into the Buddha and the old.The school of doors,therefore,proposed to replace "static" with "respect".However,the two have different emphasis on specific training skills.Mingdao pays more attention to inner heart and happiness.The inner self-understanding of "recognition" and "sincere respect",and Yichuan advocates "main respect for the righteousness".The combination of internal and external emphasizes external experience The accumulation of knowledge.Er Cheng's use of "respect" includes"movement and stillness",and the idea of meditation as a skilled man who understands the principles of heaven was developed by Zhu Xi.Zhu Zi has always been skeptical about meditation and does not think that meditation can be an important part of Confucian cultivation,but there are rich meditation theories in his works.Because Zhu Zi taught someone to mention "half-day reading,half-day meditation",whether meditation is Zhu Zi's daily teaching method has caused some controversy:some scholars regard it as an important method of learning and practice it personally;some scholars doubt "half-day meditation" "Half-day reading" is not Zhu Zi's statement,and even more strongly criticized Zhu Zi's statement,saying that Zhu Zi's words deviated from Confucian sacred scholarship and were disciples of the Shi family,but through the comments and thoughts of Zhu Zi It can be seen from the investigation that these critical points are completely incompatible with Zhu Zi's original intention However,Zhu Zi did not object to meditation.He opposed that some scholars focused on meditation and focused on "quiet" time,which led to the neglect of external moral practice.To improve the occurrence of these phenomena,Zhu Zi combined meditation with "priority".There is no such thing as the possibility of "direct proof of mind and body" and "epiphany,in Zhu Zi's work of meditation,and it is also related to the meditation of Buddhism and mind science.Zhu Zi's meditation is a "conservative physical evidence",which is different from the "transcendental inverse physical evidence" in the mind system,which has Zhu Zi's personal characteristics.Meditation here is no longer a bridge that can lead directly to the mind and body,but to become inseparable from the "primary" time and the "geographical theory" to converge the body and mind and conserve the source of auxiliary work.The role of meditation on the formation and development of Wang Yangming's thought is also not to be underestimated.Qian Dehong's use of meditation alone as one of Yangming's "three changes in teaching" in "Engraved Narration" has caused some discussion,but after Yangming left the dragon field At the beginning,the meditation method was first established,and when he was the governor of Chuzhou,he used large-scale meditation to educate all scholars.Later,when the doormen practiced meditation,they developed many disadvantages such as:"into the dryness" and "addition to the scenery",which deviated from Yang Ming's original intention to make the doormen understand the heaven and earth through the meditation.However,meditation is still an indispensable stage in Yangming's teaching method.Judging from the experience of Yangming's dragon field enlightenment,meditation,as a work that can reach the mind and body,is worthy of recognition.Longchang Wudao is an important node in the establishment of Yangming's mind and his development in life.Meditation as a skilled man in front of Yangming's "conscience" cannot be ignored,and Yangming created such a practice The mind-seeking inward-looking rationale method also has the connotation of direct proof body.Both Yang Ming and Zhu Zi emphasized that meditation as a Confucianism can't be mixed with the Buddha and Zen meditation.They all think that they should not only focus on the "quiet" work,emphasizing the "integration of motion and quietness";they also have no special requirements for the form of meditation;they all think that the thoughts cannot be completely cut off in meditation behavior."No thinking",but it can also be "right thinking".Yangning believes that only "right thinking" does not exist.Meditation is not an important work that cannot be ignored for both,but it is also not the most basic "ontological work" Zhu Zi took meditation in the "respect",making it as a way to nourish the mind and body,converge the body and mind,and assist the rationality There is time for work,and the late Yangming period was also the body work for establishing "to conscience".The most fundamental difference from the perspective of meditation practice between the two methods of meditation is that meditation has the function of reaching the mind and body inwards in Yangming,so that the mind and reason are clearly connected,so as to prove the body.On the contrary,this function is in Zhuzi's meditation Deliberately erased.The reason for this difference is precisely the difference between the time and effort of the two,that is,the difference between the ontology,which is also the most fundamental difference between the theory of ethics and the theory of mind.
