道德經2

 男人若有錢跟誰都有緣。type 1,2男人的嘴騙人的鬼。

《道德經》第二章(中英對照)

原文

天下皆知美之為美,斯惡已;皆知善之為善,斯不善已。

故有無相生,難易相成,長短相形,高下相傾,音聲相和,前後相隨。

是以聖人處無為之事,行不言之教;萬物作焉而不辭,生而不有,為而不恃,功成而弗居。

夫唯弗居,是以不去。

> When everyone recognizes beauty as beauty, ugliness already exists.

When everyone recognizes goodness as goodness, evil already exists.

Therefore:

Being and non-being give rise to each other;

Difficult and easy complete each other;

Long and short define each other;

High and low depend upon each other;

Sound and tone harmonize with each other;

Before and after follow each other.

Therefore the Sage practices non-action (wu wei) and teaches without words.

All things arise, yet he does not possess them;

He nurtures them, yet does not claim ownership;

He acts, yet does not depend on his actions;

He accomplishes, yet does not dwell on his achievements.

Because he does not dwell on them,

his accomplishments never leave him.

有無相生

Being and non-being give rise to each other.

「有」與「無」並非對立,而是互相依存。

例如:

房子的牆壁是「有」,房間的空間是「無」。

杯子的材質是「有」,能裝水的空間是「無」。

推手中的進攻是「有」,化勁中的空靈是「無」。

沒有「無」,「有」便失去作用; 沒有「有」,「無」也無從顯現。

太極拳角度

《太極拳論》說:

> 「有意無意之間」

又說:

> 「由著熟而漸悟懂勁,由懂勁而階及神明」

其中的「有」與「無」正是相互轉化:

有形而求無形

有力而歸無力

有招而化無招

有我而歸無我

因此「有無相生」正是太極陰陽互根、虛實互用的重要哲理。

適合演講的簡短英文解釋

> "Being and non-being create each other. Just as a cup is useful because of its empty space, strength becomes effective because of relaxation. In Tai Chi, emptiness and fullness are not opposites—they work together as one."

(有與無互相產生。正如杯子因空間而有用,力量因放鬆而有效。在太極拳中,虛與實不是對立,而是相互成就的一體兩面。)

這句出自《道德經》第六章:有無相生

原文:

> 谷神不死,是謂玄牝。

玄牝之門,是謂天地根。

綿綿若存,用之不勤。

現代中文翻譯

「虛空而能生養萬物的道,永遠不會消失,這就叫做『玄牝』。玄牝之門,就是天地萬物產生的根源。它綿延不絕,似有似無,但其作用永遠不會窮盡。」

其中:

谷神:像山谷般虛空、包容、生生不息的生命力。

玄:深奧、幽微。

牝:雌性、生育萬物的母體。

玄牝:宇宙生生不息的本源,亦即「道」。

English Translation

A commonly accepted translation is:

> "The Spirit of the Valley never dies;

this is called the Mysterious Female.

The gate of the Mysterious Female

is called the root of Heaven and Earth.

It seems to endure forever;

draw upon it, and it is never exhausted."


太極與內修角度的解釋

若以太極拳或內丹修煉來看:

谷神代表虛靜、空靈的本性。

玄牝代表先天之氣、生機的源頭。

谷神不死表示當人能保持虛靜、無我、鬆沉時,生命力便源源不絕。

太極拳講「虛靈頂勁、氣沉丹田、用意不用力」,其精神與「谷神不死」相通。

推手中若能保持如山谷般空靈,不與人抗,便能「來力不頂,去力不送」,產生化勁的效果。

> "The Valley Spirit never dies. It is the inexhaustible source of life and creation. Like a valley, it remains empty yet receives all things; therefore its power never runs dry."

(谷神永不消亡,它是生命與創造力無窮的源泉。正如山谷因虛空而能容納萬物,所以它的力量永遠不會枯竭。)
