Clay Step Practice

For Mr. Qiu Yu, fame, wealth and wealth can be the confusion of life, but many people will never reach this level in their entire lives. Most ordinary people are worried about their livelihood, let alone achieving both fame and wealth, and then seeing through fame and wealth, so just take a look and broaden your horizons.

This book is all-encompassing, and you can find answers to all my confusions in this book, which is a great inspiration to me. For example, "The water finally merges into the sea and disappears." When I first read this paragraph, it made me think deeply. If water merges into the sea, what about people? Will we eventually be integrated into the prehistoric world? When we enter the prehistoric world, will ancient sages such as Laozi and Confucius be among them? Can we achieve a true dialogue across time and space? When I think about this, I can't help but feel a warm current flowing through my body. It turns out that I am never alone.

Yu Qiuyu's final work. I loved his books when I was in high school and read his Cultural Journey, The Book of Mountains and Rivers, What Is Culture, etc. This book is his concluding work on life practice. It talks about life from the three perspectives of "breaking confusion", "asking questions" and "settling". Perhaps such a grand issue as the philosophy of life can only be explained clearly in such simple and concise words. And grand questions are always unsolvable. Whether you read a lot of books and quote scriptures, or you think about it and hope for enlightenment, a perfect explanation is ultimately a luxury. Or perhaps, the lack of solutions is perfection, and the elimination of doubts is the problem that accompanies life.

1. I have benefited a lot and confirmed some insights. It is readable. 2. Personal opinion. This book focuses on the macro-level discussion and some personal experiences of the author, so it lacks specific and feasible practice methods. It may also be related to the author's experience. Some things may be "too much". After reading it, I generally feel that the author has not reached the realm mentioned in the book (maybe "my" feeling is one-sided and cannot be taken seriously), but I should also have realized something. 3. Text is essentially a form, so who knows!

Mr. Qiu Yu, the pioneer of modern Chinese culture, provides a beacon of guidance for confused people in the dark night. I also have some insights. In life, you should deal with what you like and pursue it without asking for results.

A very philosophical book. Professor Yu Qiuyu's concluding work systematically explains life practice, written in elegant philosophical prose. He divided the practice into three major links: "breaking confusion", "asking questions" and "settling", and thus formed the three parts of this book. The "Destroying Confusion" section carefully analyzes the temptations and dangers of "disaster confusion", "position confusion", "name confusion", "wealth confusion", "tide confusion" and "hatred confusion" that everyone will encounter. The author reviews one by one how he made difficult practice feasible in the process of getting rid of each "confusion" and achieving "no confusion".

Yu Qiuyu summarized and summarized his spiritual activities in this world, and finally formed this famous collection of essays. Step cultivation emphasizes ordinary but determined efforts, not seeking to reach the sky in one step, but moving steadily towards the goal, constantly accumulating experience and progress. It emphasizes constantly improving oneself in practice, constantly surpassing oneself, and achieving personal growth and progress through continuous efforts and accumulation. It reminds people to maintain a down-to-earth and hard-working attitude in daily life, not to rush for success, but not to stop moving forward, and to realize the value of their life with a spirit of perseverance.

To settle down, you cannot rely solely on existing classics, but must come on your own. Over and over again, knocking on the mountain gate, visiting the garden again, repeatedly comparing, selecting and reorganizing. In the end, I found the most comfortable and simple spiritual map, which is where the soul rests. This book is worth reading!

A book, a cultivation of the mind, worth reading deeply

Many people are always trying their best to get rid of childlike innocence and purity, and always want to paint all kinds of colors and fill all kinds of words on the cards of life. As everyone knows, all colors will become rust spots of life, and all words will become wrinkles of life. The whole meadow, all the flowers, belong only to those who are empty-handed. Only with empty hands can we appreciate and accept countless things. Moreover, only with empty hands can we relax and be curious along the way.

Everyone must learn to grow, even if the process is painful and difficult. This is a book about personal growth and spiritual practice. The author shared his thoughts and methods on inner exploration, cultivation and growth through his own spiritual practice experience and mental journey. The book explores issues such as how to balance internal and external relationships, improve self-awareness and control. This book guides readers to reflect on the meaning and value of life, and provides inspiration and guidance on inner growth and life changes.

This is the first time you see someone telling you how to practice

Life is a practice. We will meet all kinds of people and encounter all kinds of things on the road. However, in this process, we are slowly getting to know ourselves and establishing our own cognition. No matter whether we encounter adversity or good times, it is a kind of growth to a certain extent. Reading this book by Yu Qiuyu, I feel deeply cleansed from the depths of my soul. Life is full of all kinds of confusion and incomprehension, but this is also a process of constantly growing oneself.

Life is a practice, the deeper you learn, the deeper you learn, the shallower you learn, the shallower. Follow the footsteps of those who have gone before you and cultivate your own life.

"The Cultivation of Clay Steps" written by Yu Qiuyu is a master-level work. It tells readers about his practice of understanding the world, allowing readers to immerse themselves in the world of his words and immerse themselves in the practice realized from his perspective. Clay Steps represents the general public, and Clay Steps also represents the author who has experienced the world, experienced it, and is compassionate~ I like the richness and strength of his words!

Deep and transparent! Suddenly see the light!

Although I still don't have any good impressions of Buddhism, reading Mr.'S books always feels like an old man telling me his life's insights. Some things can also be found in similar examples in life.

A book about aesthetics, philosophy, and life issues. Mr. Yu Qiuyu used his personal experience, unique thinking angle and concise writing style to tell us many truths, experiences, etc. The discussion on the nature of human nature as good and evil reflects the wisdom of perfection and the concept of following objective facts. Really good works can talk to people's souls and improve their realm. This kind of work must have gained great wisdom in life and achieved salvation before it can influence others. It must first save itself before it can save others. "Human Words"

This book is very inspiring. Yu Qiuyu explains the way of spiritual practice in a simple and profound way. I like his analysis of various "confusions" in the "Destroying Confusions" section. It feels very real and helpful. His extraction of Chinese religious culture is also very interesting, which gave me a deeper understanding of spiritual practice. The content in the book can make people think and comfort, just like chatting with a wise man.

Great compassion without predestined relationship, great compassion with the same body

A great book to inspire wisdom.

Somehow I read this book! Falling to the ground! A sudden enlightenment!

First of all, I would like to apologize to Mr. Yu. I am sorry that I do not agree with what Mr. Yu said about the Wei, Jin and Buddhism and that I am biased against you. Whether you can see it or not, I just do what I want without vomiting or being unhappy. I learned a lot from your statement about the oneness of human beings and the enlightened ones, thank you sir. But I am a person who mainly pays attention to personal opinions, which are always personal opinions, and what I admire is not necessarily the best. I would also like to express my own views here. I don't have much opinion about the unity of the people of the world, but I feel that since they are one, we can only treat them as one if we achieve unified management. People must have roots after all. As a matter of fact, I feel that before treating yourself as belonging to the world, you must first find your own roots, so as not to wander in disorder. I have never seen the majesty of the mountains nor the vastness of the sea, but I feel that people live their lives as they wish. No matter how many traces we leave on the world, the wheels of time will always wear them down to the last trace. If there are any traces left, it's just not long enough. Only by letting your heart have no trace, no guilt, and no correction can you find peace. Of course, as I have always believed, personal opinions are always personal opinions, and if the words of a sage are not in harmony with my heart, they are no different than weeds! Thank you!

A lot of benefits, thank you

There is no need to force some things to be together. Just do what you should do in life with a clear conscience

I don't have a high level of education, so I admire the author's talent. He is self-sufficient in nature and has nothing to lose. He strives to live well in the present and let go of everything in his heart.

Use practice as an opportunity and enlightenment and mindfulness as the key to break through "confusion". The language is plain and humorous, using his own personal experience as an example, which is real and vivid. Um, I'm sorry for commenting on the work of a literary master.

I hope everyone who reads this book will read it slowly, carefully, and repeatedly, and then reinvent themselves.

The first half is very comfortable to watch, but the latter part is a bit idealistic and makes you half-understanding.

Thank you Teacher Yu Qiuyu! I've gained a lot of insights, but I'm just a little bit regretful that I didn't meet this good teacher sooner🙏
