"The human heart is only in danger, the Tao's heart is only subtle, only the essence is only one, and it is allowed to be in the middle."

1. If there is no child's heart, people will never be able to understand what Taoism is.

Dashi retreated and meditated for three years, but he still didn't understand that he had been passively and ignorantly pursuing the consciousness since he was five years old. When he was a child, he didn't really do what a child should do; when he was an adult, he didn't really do what an adult should do. Dash was right when he gave up the feeding education of the model religion and decided to devote himself entirely to his lust and experience life on his own. Through love, he felt the sincerity of life like a child running freely in the field. His master, Apu, didn't understand this (experience needs vary from person to person, and an experience that one person doesn't need in this life may be a must for another person in this life).

Viewing the red face as a bone is based on a conclusion that belongs to thinking, and the reality of life requires everyone to realize it in his own experience, otherwise why should we be a tangible person? The metaphysical world does not lack truth, it lacks experience. The physical world is full of experience, and truth is hidden in it.

2. If you don’t understand how to clear your mind and control your desires, the innocent mind invented by chance will degenerate into a human mind controlled by lust.

In this story, Dash is unable to control his lust and has sex with a servant.

Obedience to lust is right the first time, but wrong the second time. How to grasp right and wrong is where people are in danger.

Feeling at ease and self-sufficiency, when all the predestined conditions come, respond with sincerity, do not hesitate to respond, and do not hesitate after responding, but as the ancients were innocent and simple, hungry to eat and sleepy, all emotions and six desires are in the middle of the festival, this is the human being an ideal state that can be achieved. However, with the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, mind, and six sense organs of the body, and the six sense objects in response to the external colors, sounds, smells, and smells, when you feel joy, you will crave, and when you feel pain, you will escape. The innocence and simplicity of human beings are helplessly gradually lost in the general trend of the movement of the universe.

In the environment of our age, just like Dashi, even if through love or other opportunities, I catch a glimpse of my innocent heart, it is difficult to keep this sincerity, and in a blink of an eye, lust is involved in the second thought. The third thought has become a human heart controlled by lust.

Dash selectively forgets his love and responsibility for his wife at many moments, and indulges himself to be seduced by servants just because of his physical desires, which reflects the high-risk attribute of the human heart. People are always questioning whether there is true love in the world after being hurt emotionally? I think there is. But many times it may only be a moment. The depth and length of true love depends heavily on personal qualities. In the movie, Palma does not have any religious identity, but she shows a quality far higher than Dashi, whether it is love or consciousness. She lives more naturally than Dash, almost doing whatever she wants without breaking the rules, while Dash runs back and forth between the extremes of self-imposed limitations and indulgence.

3. With the will to support, the pure heart can be sublimated into the eternal Dao heart through training.

Aside from love, the theme of the film is actually to explore the relationship between consciousness and desire. There are many desires, and love is the strongest, so it is represented. In fact, the anger of Dashi fighting with people in the movie, and even the desire to escape from the monkhood because of fear of facing the self controlled by desire, are all desires, all of which are distortions of the innocent heart from the outside world.

The enlightenment that the monks pursued is like Sakyamuni, but the enlightenment is not in the complicated rituals, the solemnity created by people's worship, the yellowish scrolls of scriptures, the rigidity of tradition and the ability to hide filth. model religion. Consciousness is human consciousness. First of all, you must truly be a person before you can have the opportunity to gain human enlightenment. If you don't do a good job of being a human being and dream of becoming an immortal and a Buddha, you may only be able to wander between clouds and mud, becoming a wandering ghost who has a body but can't feel what it's like to have your feet on the ground.

The heart of a child can make a person live completely as a person. There is no greed for becoming an immortal or a Buddha, but only an instinctive return movement toward nature. But as mentioned above, in the current environment, it is difficult to maintain a pure heart without scrutiny and exercise. "Child" is named Chizi because of its true nature. Going deeper and returning to this truth is the process of enlightenment. Returning to the basics is a direction, a direction that is opposite to the three-born and all things. This requires a thorough examination and a decision. Ambition, to choose your own aspirations.

Once you have established your aspirations, you must continue to greed to support your aspirations. If you want too much, your true aspirations will become dull. Raising ambition is like sharpening a sword. Once you have ambition in your heart, you can wield your sword to protect your innocent heart from being distracted by lust. With long-term training, your heart will be clear, and you will be able to speak your mind.
