the training method of Lau zi

[awaken]

致虛極，守靜篤。萬物並作，吾以觀復。

 

把致虛和守靜的功夫做到極致。世界萬事萬物同時在運作，我只看其往復的規律。A wise person will achieve the A wise person will achieve the ultimate in the kung fu of creating emptiness and keeping stillness. Everything in the world is operating at the same time, and I only see the law of its reciprocation.

 

這段話如果沒有修煉的人肯定會翻譯成『世界萬物』

但是有翻譯的人就知道『萬物』是指修煉當中的各種現象

這些各種現象同時出現

我看的就是其中的反覆規律

 

所以請大家不要再練下腹部的氣了

如果要懂老子的修煉方法

這段就是講修煉方法了

 

Those who have not cultivated will definitely translate this sentence into "everything in the world"

But those who have cultivated know that "all things" refer to various phenomena in cultivation.

These various phenomena occur simultaneously

What I see is the pattern of repetition

So please don't practice lower abdominal qi any more.

If you want to understand Lao Tzu's cultivation method

This section is about the training method.

 

如果你堅持要練注意力鎖定在下腹部的呼吸

你就沒辦法練出老子所說的『萬物並作』

也看不到老子所說的『觀復』

 

If you insist on practicing breathing that focuses on the lower abdomen

You won't be able to practice what Lao Tzu said "all things work together"

You can't see what Lao Tzu said about "Viewing repeating"

I thought it might be some religious alchemy.

觀 Guan, watch, observe, see, aware....

復 Fu, repeat, again, back and forth

道家的修煉方式

 

陰陽反覆

 

The cultivation of Daoist

 

repeat between Yin and Yang

 

但是方法已經失傳了

只剩下經典

 

But the method has been lost

only the classics still exist

 

主要的經典是周易參同契和悟真篇

 

The major classics are Cantong qi and Wuzhen pian

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantong_qi

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wuzhen_pian

 

道德經當中講了不少修煉的東西，但是如果沒有周易參同契和悟真篇的修煉基礎，是沒辦法看得懂的

 

DDJ talks about a lot of cultivation, but if one has no the cultivation basis of Cantong qi and Wuzhen pian, it is almost impossible to understand the part of DDJ.
