The immortal is called Xuanzang. The gate of Xuanzang is the root of heaven and earth. What do you mean, don't use it often?

It means: Tao, as empty as a valley, can hold infinite things, and it has a good ability to create everything in the world. Everything was born and created at the gate of Tao Xuanzang, carrying the genetic information of Tao. Tao is so small and endless. Although invisible, it is everywhere, endless, filling the universe, and everything will never be exhausted.

Chapter 6 of Laozi's Tao Te Ching in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Precautions:

1, Yu: Note in Shuo Wen, Mu Ye. The word "Bi" on the right refers to the female genitalia. Lao Tzu here refers to the fertility of Tao, which is the mother of all things. Xuanzang: Give directions. Animals have an end, and Xuanzang has no end, because Xuanzang means infinite profundity and exquisiteness.

2, Gu Shen: refers to the road. Tao is called the Valley God because it has the characteristics that the Valley is contained in the void, and it also has the good ability of the God to create all things in the world. The Tao gives birth to everything, just like a river gushing out of a valley. Why doesn't Gu Shen die? Because Tao is not a life based on form and has no life cycle, it is the eternal primary cause, so it is immortal.

3. The Gate of Xuanzang: Point out the gate of the world and creation. This door of Xuanzang is the root of heaven and earth.

The universe began with the seed of a tree and was born in Xuanzang Gate of Tao. As the seeds of the universe take root and sprout, they gradually grow into towering trees. Its roots became heaven and earth, deeply rooted in the door of Xuanzang to absorb the nutrients of Tao, while the branches and leaves of the tree turned into all things in the universe.

4, continuous: the meaning of micro and endless. Not diligent, never exhausted, never exhausted.

Tao, continuously sent to Xuanzang's door, where is the root of heaven and earth water. Although this process is invisible, it can be realized completely. All this exists all the time, happening and continuing.

Creation background

According to the literature, Lao Tzu is quiet, studious and knowledgeable. In the process of teaching knowledge by his teacher, Shang Rong, Laozi always gets to the bottom of the matter and is very eager for knowledge. In order to solve doubts, he often looks up at the sun, moon and stars and thinks about what the sky is, so that he often can't sleep. Later, Mr. Shang Rong "really learned everything from the old lady." Recommend Laozi to study in Zhoudu.

After the week, I visited a doctor and went to imperial academy to study astronomy, geography and human relations. I read poems, books, the Book of Changes, calendars, rituals and music, and I learn cultural relics, laws and history books, and my study has made great progress. The doctor also recommended him to be an official in the Sutra Pavilion, which is the collection place of Zhou Dynasty classics and all the books in the world. Through this experience, Laozi accumulated a wealth of knowledge and made him famous.

Laozi was born in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. At that time, the environment was weak in the Zhou Dynasty, and various governors constantly competed for hegemony. The violent turmoil and changes made Lao Tzu witness the sufferings of the people, which was regarded as the Tibetan history of the Zhou Dynasty, so he put forward a series of thoughts on governing the country and protecting the people.

Yin also played a great role in the compilation of Tao Te Ching. When he was young, he was fond of astronomy, reading ancient books, and had a profound cultivation. Yin moved Lao Tzu, who traced his life experience, the success or failure of the dynasty and the safety of the people, and wrote two books, Tao Te Ching, with five thousand words.

Tao Te Ching, an important source of Taoist philosophy, is divided into two parts, the first 37 chapters and the last 38 chapters, which are divided into 8 1 chapter. Tao Te Ching mainly discusses "Tao" and "morality": "Tao" is not only the natural way of the universe, but also the method of personal practice. "Virtue" is not the usual morality or virtue, but a monk's special world outlook, methodology and way of dealing with people.

Laozi's original intention was to teach people how to practice Buddhism. Morality is the foundation, and Taoism is the sublimation of morality. Without the foundation of virtue, you are likely to fail in dealing with people, managing your family and governing the country, and you will not be able to "cultivate Buddhism."

Therefore, cultivating "virtue" is to create a good external environment for monasticism, which may also be needed by people; Being a monk requires a quiet mind and a detached life, which is also indispensable for virtue. The moral part of Tao Te Ching accounts for a large part of the Confucian classics, which is the basis of monasticism.

The sixth chapter of Tao Te Ching describes the metaphysical existence of Tao with concise words, that is, it continues to elaborate the thought of Tao in the fourth chapter and uses "valley" to symbolize the emptiness of Tao. The metaphor of "God" is that "Tao" gives birth to all things and is endless. It is believed that "Tao" is the power that dominates the development and change of all things in infinite space and is a unity with certain material regularity.

I want to explain that the role of Tao is infinite. In terms of time, it is eternal. As far as space is concerned, it is everywhere and endless. It breeds all things in the universe and continues.

"Xuanzang's Gate" is the root of all things and plays a very important role. "The Gate of Xuanzang" and "The Root of Heaven and Earth" are all used to explain that "Tao" is the place where all things in heaven and earth are produced.

The most primitive nature of human beings is trust in their mothers, which should be perceived by everyone. However, in the spiritual needs of human beings, this kind of nature is tortuous, showing a strong desire to rely on nature and seek integration with nature.

Laozi's "Tao" has a great and lofty maternal nature, from which all things in the world are born, and from which endless and inexhaustible nutrients are obtained. It nurtures but does not possess its own advantages, and gives but does not depend on its own advantages.
