你多读书,我送书上门!

中午去隔壁鲁能餐厅吃饭,广场上停了辆浦东图书馆的流动图书车,有点新奇。饭后还特地上车体验一下,好几个人拿着书在办理退还手续。如今条件好了,都能送书上门了,为了方便与鼓励市民多读书,图书馆这是有多拼!

在短视频吊打天下媒体的时代,如今有多少人能抽出时间,静下心来,捧着纸质书阅读?都知道读书有益,手机上电子书阅读起来更方便。不过当你拿起手机,各种消息的干扰让你很难进入沉浸式阅读。最近看到新加坡学者郑永年的一段话:“中国很快将面临一个全面弱智的时代,因为短视频的快速崛起,它最大后果是让一群低学历、低素质、无底线的人成为舆论的主流,让谣言、仇恨、戾气替代真相、正义、文明”。我觉得这段话真的是振聋发聩,值得思考。

影响我们静下心来多读书的外部因素,除了手机阅读时的外部干扰,还有就是如今获取电子书太容易了。付费订阅,免费下载,基本上只要你想找哪本书,网络上各种渠道都可以找到。所以我们可能变成仓鼠了,看到好书,就先下载、收藏。至于哪天读,怎么读,以后找时间再读吧。

上面的这两个因素,当然也影响到了我。为了改变,我把手机里存的N多电子书都移入NAS里。决定看哪一本,再把它导入手机,这样手机里永远只有一本你没有看过的书。我给自己定了阅读计划,每天至少阅读一小时,并把它列入手机里每天的提醒事项,完成任务了,再在手机上打卡完成。iPhone自带的图书App功能很全面高效,支持epub和pdf格式的电子书。它可以设定每年的阅读数量,已阅读了多少本,分别是哪些,每天的阅读时间目标,今日已阅读多少时间,连续完成计划阅读时间的天数。按照这个方法,我的读书效率明显提高,也能看到自己的读书成就,推荐使用!

I went to the Luneng restaurant nearby for lunch, and there was a mobile Library bus parked in the square, which was a bit of a novelty. I also made a point of getting on the bus after lunch to experience it, several people were returning their books. Now that conditions are better and books can be delivered to the door, how hard the Pudong library is trying to facilitate and encourage people to read more!

In the age of short videos crushing over the world’s media, today, how many people can find the time to take a moment, settle down, and read with a paper book? We all know that reading is beneficial, and it is more convenient to read e-books on cell phones. When you pick up your phone, though, the distractions of various messages make it hard to get into immersive reading. Recently, I read a passage from Singaporean scholar Zheng Yongnian: “China will soon face an era of total retardation because of the rapid rise of short videos, whose biggest consequence is to let a group of low-educated, low-quality, bottomless people become the mainstream of public opinion, and to let rumors, hatred, and hostility replace truth, justice, and civility.” I think this passage is really deafening and worth thinking about.

The external factors that affect us to calm down and read more books are not only external interference when reading on phones, but also the fact that e-books are now too easy to obtain. Paid subscriptions, free downloads, usually, if you want to find a book, you can find it in various ways on the Internet. So we may become hamsters, when we find a good book, we download and collect it first. As for which day to read and how to read, find time to read it again later.

Of course, these two factors also affected me. In order to change it, I moved many of the e-books stored on my phone into the NAS. Decide which one to read and import it into your phone, so there’s always only one book on your phone that you haven’t read. I set myself a reading plan to read for at least one hour a day, put it on my daily reminder on my phone, complete the task, and clock in on my phone to finish. The book app that comes with the iPhone is very comprehensive and efficient, and supports e-books in epub and pdf formats. It can set the number of books read each year, how many books have been read, which ones, the daily reading time goal, how much time has been read today, and the number of days in a row to complete the planned reading time. According to this method, my reading efficiency has improved significantly, and I can also see my reading achievements, so I recommend using it!

超脱因果,太上忘情

————读马伯庸的《太白金星有点烦》

这两天刚读完马伯庸的《太白金星有点烦》,不由得拍案叫绝。兴致所至,总结一二。

刚开始读的时候,觉得这不就是天马行空地吹牛逼嘛!坚持读下来后,觉得这书写得真牛逼!

把一个大家耳熟能详的师徒四人西天取经的故事,重新解构,变成了一个天廷和灵山协作完成,一个事先计划好各种磨难与护法的项目。这个项目有策划计划,有团队人选,有分包外包,有费用预算和支出报销。项目运作过程中有巧立名目,专项拆分,偶然因素,甚至还有折扣和回扣。项目的组织,有项目发起单位,有高层领导的示意,有各方领导与亲友打招呼、递条子、请托,有各方势力的争名夺利与互相掣肘,甚至还有纪律监察机构,这完全就是一个现实世界里项目运作的仙界版,体现了职场与江湖的复杂关系。

站在“上帝视角”,把这么个复杂的项目,码放得逻辑清晰,条理分明,这就是驾驭能力。同时还制造了一个惊天的大隐秘事件,并把这个事关嫦娥、八戒、沙僧、二郎神、蟠桃会、六耳猕猴、通臂猿猴的事件解析得合乎逻辑,自圆其说。

把这个项目的实施,与太白金星李长庚的修行晋升金仙的过程结合起来,借西王母的点化忠告之词,提出了“超脱因果,太上忘情”这一修行与做事的最高境界。也是根据这个核心要义,并加以扩展升华,提出了用以实践的指导原则。那就是:

超脱因果,不是不沾因果,而是只存己念;太上忘情,也不是无情无欲,而是唯修自身。一切以自身修行为念,不为下界之事动摇心旌。如此一来,因果可以沾而不染,情欲也可以挂而不碍,境界截然不同。

根据这个指导原则,李长庚的金仙得以成功晋升,西天取经项目得以顺利完成。天廷、灵山、李长庚、观音、取经5人组、六耳猕猴,甚至是各路神仙、妖魔鬼怪都各取所需,互利共赢,皆大欢喜。

看到最后,你还能领悟到:越是高层的角色,思路、道行、手段与方法确实是“高!实在是高!”,值得你去景仰,去思考,去回味。

为何玉帝与佛祖会安排悟空参与西天取经?只要他一上无底船,便会舍下躯壳与浊念。从前的愤懑、怨怼与各种因果牵绊,统统抛却。那一桩不可言说的大隐秘便可彻底消业,再无任何隐患。而对灵山来说,一个天庭顽妖皈依我佛,成了正途之外的佛陀,又是何等绝妙的揄扬素材——毕竟那可是天上天下独一份的孙悟空。天庭消了隐患,灵山得了揄扬,悟空有了前途,可谓皆大欢喜。这……这才是太上忘情的妙旨真意啊。

每个人的体内都有正念和浊念。当正念占据主导地位时,才能“跳出五行外,不在三界中”,所思所想所行,才能理性客观公正。当浊念占据主导时,则容易感情用事,容易被纷繁芜杂的外部因素所困扰。诸如各种鸡毛蒜皮,肮脏勾当,错综复杂的关系网,世界太黑暗这些负面因素会影响你的判断,影响你对目标的坚定信心,影响为实现目标所做的正确选择。而当你心中只有正念时,恭喜你,你的凡间修行真的到位了,你也“得道成仙”了,你将无往而不胜,无往而不利了。到了这一境界时,所有世间的纷繁芜杂,在你眼里都是世间常态,才能体会到“世间本无事,庸人自扰之”的真谛。

虽然这只是一本书,只是“超脱因果,太上忘情”这么核心的八个字,但带给人的收获与思考却是无穷的……
