It presents the ups and downs of Wang Yangming's tragic life, and vividly restores the fierce competition among various political forces in the Ming Dynasty at that time. The description of various political strategies is particularly wonderful, and it also reveals the gestation, development and essence of Yangming's philosophy of mind.
Wang Yangming's upright attitude towards life and the essence of spiritual enlightenment are intertwined in the novel, confirming each other and constantly sublimating. The well-known essentials of mind science such as "breaking the thief in the heart", "unity of knowledge and action", and "developing conscience" are all conveyed to readers through stories such as Longchang Enlightenment, Nangan Breaking the Thief, and King Pingning's Rebellion. They can be seen and felt!
Reader comments
It is well written and introduces the study of mind very clearly. However, due to historical limitations, Wang Yangming's plan is nothing more than a fantasy. Law, morality, power checks and balances, and interest distribution are the only four factors that can achieve an ideal social structure. For example, Northern Europe, France, and Canada are relatively perfect.
Very good. It tells the story of Mr. Yangming's life. He did not fear the powerful and did not want fame, but only thought about the people! A person who is extremely intelligent, establishes the philosophy of mind, and cares about the people is a saint!
Mr. Yangming, a sage through the ages
To be honest, it took me a long time to read this book. During the reading process, it was sometimes difficult to understand the meaning of it. Especially when Mr. Yangming was teaching students, some of the content was indeed difficult to understand. However, later on, the story was used to explain "Conquer oneself and return to propriety, and the world will return to benevolence". It's easier to understand, especially the analysis of "New Confucianism" in the postscript is really good and finds the root of the problem. The fundamental purpose is to have a critical spirit and distinguish what is the right way and what is the dross from the historical and cultural inheritance. Only then can we truly understand Mr. Yangming's philosophy and use it to cultivate ourselves!
This book tells the beginning and end of the sage's philosophy of mind. If one day restrains oneself and returns to ritual, the world will return to benevolence. At present, the realm of saints is too high and does not meet the current situation. It is better to use it as the foundation of one's life and to unite knowledge and action for a better life.
The writing is very detailed and accurate.
Well written and very in-depth
Isn't it true that good books are spiritual food, self-denial and propriety are restored, and the world will return to benevolence!
The road is long and blocked, but the journey is about to end.
As long as everyone is self-denial, don't stress about the order.
Yangming Xinxue has always encouraged me to overcome customer difficulties. Thank you sir.
Knowing but not doing is just unknown
When I first read this sentence, I didn't feel it. When I understood it, I got goosebumps all over my body. It is really the truth of life.
Based on my own personal experience, I strongly support this book.
A very good book, I like it very much!
Learn from the heart secretly and promote Qi culture
Preserve the laws of nature, destroy human desires, and lead to conscience [crying]
What China lacks is mental education
I have wanted to read this book for a long time and it really benefited me a lot.
Detailed content, presenting a bright life
I shed tears after watching it, and I am convinced!
When it comes to conscience, the most taboo thing is to teach others. If you are faint but do not know it, you will teach others without permission, and eventually make people faint. The whole world is dim, but no one understands.
The explanations in this book of Yangming's Mind Science are concise and clear, which solved my confusion for many years.
Mind learning is really good
Not bad, I learned some knowledge
The limitations of mind science are due to the flaws in the nature of living creatures. The theories of mind science are all correct, but the nature of most living things is to plunder resources to ensure their own survival. Therefore, those who thoroughly practice mind science are saints.
Although I don't quite understand it, if you restrain yourself and return to etiquette, the world will be benevolent. The unity of knowledge and action leads to conscience, and my heart is bright, so what else can I say! Just keep your conscience and be a human being.
With the help of the analysis and summary of Wang Yangming's life history, it is both fascinating and clear and easy to understand.
A good book, written with great depth and touching the soul. Mr. Yangming benefited the people, was brave and resourceful, and was a role model of that era.
This book is a masterpiece, every word of it is exquisite, and it is an excellent biography.
