Book cover

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, as it provided a unique perspective on Chinese philosophy and the importance of simplicity and authenticity in life. Hong Ge's writing style is both engaging and insightful, making complex philosophical concepts accessible to readers. The way he explores the concept of "naturalness" and its relevance to modern society was particularly thought-provoking.

The book is divided into concise chapters that delve into different aspects of Daoism, allowing readers to easily digest and contemplate the teachings presented. I appreciated the blend of ancient wisdom with practical advice for applying these principles in our daily lives. The author's passion for the subject matter shines through in every page, making this a truly enlightening read.

Overall, I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in delving deeper into the teachings of Daoism and exploring the timeless wisdom of Chinese philosophy. It offers a refreshing perspective on living a meaningful and fulfilling life, and I found myself reflecting on its lessons long after finishing the final chapter.

《抱朴子》

「 抱朴子曰:命之修短,實由所值,受氣結胎,各有星宿。天道無為,任物 自然,無親無疏,無彼無此也。命屬生星,則其人必好仙道,求之亦必得也。 命屬死星,則其人亦不信仙道,不信仙道,則亦不自修其事。所樂善否,判於 所稟,移易予奪,非天所能。」

《抱朴子‧塞難》 「按《仙經》以為諸得仙者,皆其壽命偶值神仙之氣,自然所稟。故胞 胎之中,已含信道之性,即其有識,則心好其事,必招明師而其法,不然,則 不信不求,求亦不得也。」《抱朴子‧辯問》 「《玉鈐經》主命原曰:人之吉凶,制在結胎受氣之日,皆上得列宿之 精。其值聖宿則聖,值賢宿則賢,值文宿則文,值武宿則武,值富宿則富,值 賤宿則賤,值貧宿則貧,值壽宿則壽,值仙宿則仙。…為人生本有定命,張車 子之說是也。苟不受神仙之命,則必無好仙之心…此豈非天命之所使然乎。」

《抱朴子‧辯問》 「 按《易內戒》、《赤松子經》、《河圖記命符》皆云:天地有司過 之神,隨人所犯輕重,以奪其算,算減則人貧耗疾病,屢逢憂患,算盡則人死 ,諸應奪算者有數百事,不可具論。又言身中有三尸,…欲使人早死,此尸當 得作鬼,自放縱游行。享人祭酹。是以每到庚辛之日,則上天白司命,道人所 為過失…。」
