Chapter 397 Enlightenment
How to restrain the power of the monarchs is something that no school of thought has done. Confucius hopes that the king will be conscious and be kind, Mencius hopes that the people are the most important, the country is the second, and the king is the least. Mozi proposed gods and ghosts and heaven, and Taoism proposed inaction. The Legalists believed that it could not be restrained, so they would not be restrained directly. They also taught the king how to control it and make the king the supreme existence within a country.
Yunyao proposed to use technology to restrict the king and replace the Mo family's God.
Yunyao's storytelling is like Taoism, and he is deeply inspired by the true teaching of "the opposite is the movement of Tao". Although self-consciousness can reduce management costs, it will also cause order imbalance. Morality also has the morality of a gentleman and the morality of a thief. Then technology is naturally a double-edged sword. Technology development will inevitably lead to changes in social structure, which is one of the necessary reasons for the chaos in the Spring and Autumn Period. However, if used properly, this force can become the sword of Damocles that restricts the power of the monarch.
Mo Zhai felt that he was an ignorant, and Yun Yao was a giant. Yun Yao's sayings were shocking, but they were deafening and could not find any reason to object.
Now Mo Zhai just wants to ask one question: "How can we replace God with technology?" Mo Zhai vaguely feels that as long as we can do it, the Mo family will go a step further and the world will be peaceful.
"It's very simple, it's to develop technology, use technology, unite the people, and govern the country with the monarch." "When King Li of Zhou ran away, Duke Ding of Zhou and Duke Shao Mu of Zhou managed the country together, and we can also follow the example of co-governance."
"If all countries in the world can rule with the king, there is no need to continue fighting." The master felt that Yunyao proposed more ideas than "Shang Tong".
Obviously, Mo Di still wanted to maintain the current situation of the division between the Spring and Autumn Period, and did not expect that if all countries could really achieve the ability to jointly govern with the Mo family, then the Mo people could completely unify the world and establish a Mo country.
"If this is the case, I'm afraid that no countries will let us go. What's the difference between us using technology and the monarch who co-governs the country and the doctor who undermines the monarch?" Taoist Lingbao asked seriously. Although "co-governance" sounds beautiful, the Tian family of Qi is now co-governance with the monarch, and everyone in the world is scolding the Tian family.
The giant couldn't help but nod. Yun Yao's big cake was well drawn, but the giant didn't want to be another Tian family.
"Of course it's different. Our Mohist family loves both sides and attacks. Which one does the Tian family satisfy? Co-governance means promoting love both sides and attacks, and allowing everyone to continue to develop until the next technological development, and then overthrow us Mohist."
"You even thought of Mozhe being overthrown?" The giant said that this was too far away.
"Tao is changing, and technology continues to develop, it will naturally cause new turmoil. Of course, if the Mohist school always represents the people of the world and can keep its original intentions in mind and love each other, then no matter how the technology changes, everyone is willing to accept the Mohist school. It's a pity that the Dharma-Ending Age is in the Dharma-Ending Age."
The giant said that this word is fresh and I can't understand it.
The Taoist Lingbao frowned because this is a Buddhist term. That is to say, the Dharma will become more and more distorted and unreliable from the Buddha's mouth. No one can understand the Buddha's Dharma in its original form, which is the Dharma-Ending Age. In fact, it means not expressing the meaning of words, which means pointing out the flaws of language. If the Mohist advocates passing on it, it will definitely fail to express the meaning and will be misinterpreted.
Mo Zhai will definitely be able to firmly firmly, but after Mo Zhai's death, it is not certain whether the Mo family can unswervingly spend energy to maintain mixed love. Perhaps one day, the Mo people feel that they have enough power and don't want to develop anymore. Just maintain the status quo and enjoy it. It is better to be kind than to love both sides. At that time, the Mo people in the world will enter Confucianism.
After all, to enjoy it, low-cost Confucianism is the most suitable. The advocate of the world is once and for all, and there are few things to manage, so you can enjoy it as much as possible.
Love is too tiring, long live kindness.
"I think what Yunyao means is that something will be born and die, and friends will be enemies." The Taoist Lingbao helped Yunyao explain the meaning of the 'Dharma-Ending Age'. He said: "If the Mo people can achieve co-governance, then co-governance will end. But it is precisely because of the ending day that the existence of the Mo people becomes meaningful."
The giant suddenly realized that the two Immortals in front of him were very knowledgeable. Yun Yao's words were already difficult to understand, and Mo Wei's words were even more profound and unfathomable.
The giant didn't know that these two guys were born in Taoism, so of course they were unfathomable.
Yunyao thought that the Taoist Lingbao advised him to find an enemy not long ago, but now he mentioned the enemy's actions?
The Taoist Lingbao said leisurely: "The grass is born not for oxen food; the horse is born not for chariots; the sheep is born not for chariots; the sheep is born not for robes..." "But why are grass eaten by oxen? Horses will pull carts, and sheep will be eaten by tigers and leopards? And why are people born and die? This is because the Tao gives birth to all things and contains the opposite of all things. The grass that is not eaten by oxen will not be complete, the horse that is not pulled carts will not be complete, and the sheep that is not eaten by tigers and leopards will not be complete..."
Yun Yaoxin said why the more you said it, it became more and more mysterious? Isn’t life without enemies incomplete?
That's it, Taoist Lingbao continued: "The Mo family will not be complete without a crisis of extinction. So I think even if Yun Yao says that the Mo family will be eliminated by technological development in the end, it will be a completeness."
The giant said that this was too difficult to understand. He couldn't help but look at Yunyao, obviously hoping that Yunyao would translate it or explain through fables why the demise of Mohist school is the complete Mohist school.
Yunyao didn't know that she didn't understand, so she could only look at Lingbao Taoist in a daze and said, "I don't understand."
"If the grass is not eaten by the cow, it will flood and will definitely be extinguished by the fire. If the horse does not pull the cart, it will definitely be killed in the sacrifice. If the sheep are not eaten by the tigers and leopards, it will also flood. If there is not enough grass, the goats will all starve to death. Therefore, the way of heaven will damage the excess and make up for the shortcomings. When the grass is lush, it will not cause fire. Because horses can endure hardships and pull the carts, they will not be killed in the sacrifice. When there are too many goats, they will be eaten by the tigers and leopards, and the goats can survive longer." "So, if the Mo family wants to last for a long time, they must always maintain destruction."
Dong!
Yunyao's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. She understood, she understood everything. Finally, it was someone else's turn to reason and she had an epiphany. At this time, Yunyao almost jumped up happily.
Sure enough, the cultivator can discuss the truth. Yunyao figured out the truth that he didn't understand when he started: Why should one restrain himself by cultivating immortals?
At that time, Yun Yao heard from He Ling that cultivating immortals should restrain desires, not be greedy, and not obsessed with the world. He only felt that he had violated Xiaoyao and the goal of cultivating immortals. He could also cultivate immortals by restraining himself, and believed that cultivating immortals and restraint were completely contradictory.
Now I think that the way of heaven is to reduce the excess and make up for the shortcomings, and the freedom of immortal cultivation must also include the opposite, that is, to restrain desires, otherwise the way of immortality will be unsmooth and the path of immortality will be vague.
The Taoist Lingbao asked Yunyao to find an opponent, but in fact, the same principle as restraining desires is that cultivating immortality must include the opposite of cultivating immortality. This negative side can be a bottleneck, an enemy, a restraint, or other things that make you uncomfortable.
From the Confucian perspective, it is "born from worry and die from happiness", but the Taoist Taoist explained it more thoroughly and more in line with Taoist thoughts, explaining why "born from worry and die from happiness" is because everything contains the opposite and is born by itself. If you do not accept these negative aspects, it will not last long. Therefore, if the heaven wants to lose the excess and make up for the shortcomings, you have to let the heaven lose it. If you don't let the heaven lose it, the heaven will take your life.
