LÃO TỬ: ‘CỨNG CỎI THÌ CHẾ.T, MỀM MẠI MỚI SỐNG; CỨNG CỎI THÌ KÉM, MỀM MẠI MỚI HƠN’
Lão Tử ca ngợi nước, phụ nữ và trẻ em, chính vì ông nhìn thấy được sức mạnh của sự mềm mại. Mềm mại chính là đại trí huệ của sinh mệnh, cũng như một cái cây khô thì rất dễ bị gió làm cho gãy, tuy nhiên cây còn sống biết thuận theo chiều gió mà lay chuyển thì lại chẳng hề gì. Đạo lý làm người và cây cũng lại như thế, những thứ có sinh mệnh đều mang một thân thể mềm mại, chết rồi liền biến thành khô cứng. Vậy Lão Tử đã dạy CÁCH LÀM NGƯỜI trong cuốn “Đạo Đức Kinh” - vua của vạn kinh, và làm thế nào để nhân loại có thể quay trở về bản tính thuần khiết của bản thân như thế nào? Hôm nay quý vị hãy cùng Minh Đức đi ngẫm nhé! _______________ #đôngtâykimcổ#lão_tử#đạo_trời
Why did Lao Tzu say,
If it's hard, it's dead. If it's soft, it's alive.
If it's hard, it's weak. If it's soft, it's better.
Lao Tzu adored water, women, and children
because he could see the strength of softness.
Softness is the great wisdom of life.
Just like a dry tree, it is very easy to be broken by the wind.
However, a living tree,
knowing how to move in the wind,
is nothing.
The same is true for people and trees.
All living things have a soft body,
but when they die, they become hard.
Lao Tzu has taught us how to be a human being
in the Buddhist way,
and how to return to our pure nature.
Today, let's learn together.
The legend of Lao Tzu
Lao Tzu's real name is Li Nhi.
Li Nhi, from Ba Duong,
was the founder of Taoism,
and also the author of Quan Dao Duc Kinh,
a classic life-telling work.
According to the legend,
in the Chu Dynasty,
Lao Tzu, from Tai Thanh Tien Canh,
the god of fire and air,
worshiped the sun,
formed a chain of colorful pearls
from the sky.
At that time, Huyen Dieu Vuong's daughter,
Duan Thi, was sleeping,
feeling and swallowing the chain of pearls
After giving birth,
Duan Thi, with a gentle body,
transformed into a girl,
living in a peaceful,
splendid place.
After that, from her womb,
she gave birth to a boy.
When he was born,
he was able to speak,
only in his mother tongue,
he said,
this is my family.
Duan Thi, saw the boy with curly hair,
with a long beard,
covered the whole yard.
There were still pearls flying in the air.
On the ground,
there were statues of good people.
Duan Thi named him Lao Tzu,
also called Lao Dam.
Lao Tzu gave birth for 9 days,
his body was transformed 9 times.
Anyone who saw him was surprised.
At the age of 6,
he realized that he was talented,
so he named himself Chong Nhi.
Lao Tzu was the founder of Taoism,
also the author of the famous
Tao Te Ching.
Related to the life of Lao Tzu,
so far, people still pass on 2 stories.
The first is when he was born,
and the second is when he
became a buffalo through the coffin.
About the day of birth and death of Lao Tzu,
there is no specific record.
There is a record.
Perhaps, Lao Tzu,
over 160 years old,
there are people who say over 200 years old,
then he became a monk and died.
In the record,
there are 2 stories.
First,
there are people who say Lao Tzu
was also a scholar,
he wrote 15 books,
he said it was for Taoism to use,
to live together with Kong Tzu.
The second story is after Kong Tzu
died 129 years old,
the secretary of Lao Tzu met
Tan Hien Cong to talk.
At first, Tan and Tzu had been together
for 500 years,
after 70 years,
some people say Tan,
which is Lao Tzu,
some people say not.
According to today's study,
the secretary Kong Tzu
came to China to ask Lao Tzu
about the ritual.
Lao Tzu is 20 years older than Kong Tzu,
his birth year is
711 BC.
There is another explanation
about the name Lao Tzu.
Everyone knows that Lao means
a person of high age,
Lao Tzu was so respected
also because of his influence
with the later,
until today, he is still a famous person
not only in China but also
all over the world.
Since childhood, he has been smart and extraordinary.
Since childhood,
Lao Tzu has been smart, quiet,
thoughtful, knowledgeable,
often with the generals,
listen to the story of the country,
Tien Sinh said,
Lao Tzu asked again,
Tien Sinh said,
Lao Tzu asked again,
Tien Sinh replied,
Lao Tzu asked again,
Lao Tzu said,
What is the sky above? I can't sleep all night."
Thuong Dung Tien Sinh taught Lao Tzu for three years.
Lao Tzu had learned all of his knowledge.
He then introduced Lao Tzu to Chu.
Lao Tzu came to Chu.
He was a scholar, enrolled in Thai school,
studied astronomy, geography, and humanism.
There was nothing he didn't study.
Poetry, calligraphy, calligraphy, literature, ritual, music,
there was nothing he didn't study.
Literature, astronomy, calligraphy, literature, ritual,
there was nothing he didn't study.
Three years later, he grew up a lot.
Then, the scholar introduced Lao Tzu to Chu.
He made Lao Tzu look like Thu Tang Thach.
Thu Tang Thach is where Chu's precious books are kept.
There is no shortage of books in this world.
Lao Tzu was brought here like a river that swam to the sea,
like a lake that covered the land,
like a great table that was thrown into the blue sky,
like a lake that used a kite.
Lao Tzu was like someone else who met water,
comfortably immersed in the vast world of knowledge.
He grasped all the rituals and understood the principles.
Three years later, Lao Tzu took over the position of Thu Tang Thach.
During the reign of Chu Tzu,
Lao Tzu was seen as the leader in the system of laws of the origin of the universe.
Taking Tao as the basis of the origin of the universe.
Lao Tzu used Tao to explain the evolution of the creatures in the universe.
At the same time, he also passed on a lot of life principles to humans.
In Tao Te Ching, he left behind a lot of life lessons for later generations.
Below is a note about Lao Tzu's life lessons.
If you are tough, you will die.
If you are soft, you will live.
If you are tough, you will be weak.
If you are soft, you will be lucky.
When he was young, Lao Tzu used to follow a teacher named Thuong Song.
Master Thuong Song was very careful in conveying to Lao Tzu about the rituals of the Chu family.
But the rituals were very complicated.
To make Lao Tzu, who was still young, feel that there were so many rituals,
living in this world was really too difficult.
Many years later, when Lao Tzu was an adult,
his master Thuong Song was also very old and weak.
At the time when Master Thuong Song was seriously ill,
Lao Tzu knew about it and immediately came to visit the teacher.
Lao Tzu went to the side of the teacher's bed and asked,
Seeing that the teacher was difficult to get over,
dare to ask the teacher what else to teach us?
Master Thuong Song did not say anything,
but opened his mouth for Lao Tzu to see,
then took his hand and pointed at Lao Tzu.
Is my fault still there?
Lao Tzu felt strange and thought,
Master Phai Trang has been so sick,
why did you ask that question?
If there is no fault, how can the teacher talk?
Master Thuong Song asked Lao Tzu again,
Is my teeth still there?
Lao Tzu still did not understand, replied,
Master, I used it all.
Master Thuong Song asked again,
Do you know why?
Thinking deeply, Lao Tzu asked the teacher,
Master, because the tongue is soft,
the teeth should be hard, right?
Master Thuong Song nodded and closed his eyes.
Later, in the Dictionary of Virtue,
Lao Tzu wrote,
To help people return to their good nature,
Lao Tzu left behind a precious Dictionary of Virtue.
With only 5,000 words,
he made the latter understand the meaning of Tao,
the relationship between Tao and the formation of the universe
as well as the origin of all things.
He also explained how to be human
and how humans can return
to their pure nature.
People follow the earth, the earth follows the sky,
the sky follows the Tao, the Tao follows nature.
People live in harmony with nature and creation,
according to the law of nature,
they are moving closer to the Tao.
