Qiu's Rhetoric（14）
Ma Xiaoqiu:Combining knowledge and practice,taking heaven and earth as a model
（一）修行就是知行合一
Practice is a combination of knowledge and action
昨晚一段真實(shí)的經(jīng)歷讓我自省和醒悟：鼎益豐2017迎新年會(huì)即將到來，我抽空做了發(fā)型。由于我過度地強(qiáng)調(diào)頭發(fā)的卷度，使發(fā)型師的注意力集中在頭發(fā)的卷度而忽略了長度。
A real experience last night made me introspect and wake up:Ding YiFeng'2017 annual meeting is coming,I took the time to make a hair style.Because I over-stretched on the curls of the hair,the stylist's attention was focused on the curls of the hair and the length of the hair was ignored.
頭發(fā)做完之后，卷度令我滿意，但不足的是長度不夠，太短了一點(diǎn)。想到年會(huì)的服裝和發(fā)型有點(diǎn)不匹配，于是怨、恨、惱、怒、煩油然而生，我拿起電話把發(fā)型師批評(píng)了一頓。十多分鐘之后，我感覺到自己的行為不對(duì)，一時(shí)的怨氣不正是自己執(zhí)著于自己的形象而產(chǎn)生的嗎？執(zhí)著生怨，怨生氣，氣生怒，我不由得想到了發(fā)型師此刻的感受！我心里非常難過，又拿起電話告訴發(fā)型師，有補(bǔ)救的辦法，可以接長，以此消除發(fā)型師的不快和愧疚。今早起床后，我再次打電話給發(fā)型師說聲對(duì)不起！
After the hair was finished,the curls of the hair was satisfied to me,but the lack of length was not enough and it was too short.Thinking that the costumes and hairstyles of the annual meeting were a bit unmatched,so resentment,hatred,furious,anger,and annoyance come to me.I picked up the phone and criticized the hair stylist.After more than ten minutes,I felt my behavior was wrong.Isn't the momentary grievance caused by my own attachment to my own image?Persistent grudges,resentful anger,I could not help but think of hair stylist feelings at the moment!I was very sad in my heart.I picked up the phone again and told the hair stylist that there was a remedy and that I could take the lead to eliminate the displeasure and embarrassment of the hair stylist.After getting up this morning,I called the hair stylist again and said I'm sorry!
修行無處不在，修行二字也不是宗教的專利。所謂修行就是學(xué)習(xí)和實(shí)踐，學(xué)習(xí)和實(shí)踐的不斷結(jié)合才是知行合一的境界。
Practice is everywhere and the Chinese characters of practice are not a patent of the religion.The so-called practice is learning and practice.The constant combination of study and practice is the realm of combining knowledge with practice.
?向天地學(xué)習(xí)
?Learn from the heaven and the earth
人的欲望從五個(gè)方面產(chǎn)生：1、物質(zhì)財(cái)富；2、男女情欲；3、地位名利；4、飲食享受；5、睡眠之欲。
Human desires arise from five aspects:1.Material wealth;2.Sexual lust of men and women;3.Status and fame;4.Dietary enjoyment;5.Desire to sleep.
這五種欲望都是人的本能。是的，沒錯(cuò)，我們正是帶著五欲而落入人間的俗人。俗人有著俗人境界的聰明才智，但是，俗人的聰明才智都是隨著以上五種欲望而產(chǎn)生的，都是利己的。凡是利己的，都是不長久的。圣人老子在《道德經(jīng)》中講到＂天地所以能長且久者，以其不自生，故能長生＂。老子明確地告訴我們：天地之所以長久地存在而不消亡，是因?yàn)樘斓責(zé)o欲，無欲則無私。
These five desires are human instincts.Yes,alright,we are the vulgar people who fall into the world with five desires.The vulgars have the intelligence and ingenuity of the secular world.However,the vulgar and ingenious people are born with the above five kinds of desires and they are selfish.All those who are selfish are not long-term.Sage Lao Tzu said in The Tao Te Ching that"the world can be long and forever and it can live forever because it is not self-born."Laozi tells us clearly:The reason why the heaven and the earth exist for a long time without dying is that heaven and earth have no desire,and no desire is selfless.
人的財(cái)、色、名、食、睡，正好對(duì)應(yīng)著生、老、病、死、苦。我們完全可以效仿天地，以天地為榜樣，除卻五欲，天長地久。
People's wealth,color,name,food,and sleep correspond to birth,aging,illness,death,and suffering.We can imitate the heaven and the earth，follow the example of the heaven and the earth,with five desires aside,forever.
