摘要

希臘哲學家畢達哥拉斯給了我們「哲學」一詞，也就是愛智，他也指出三種不同的生活類型：好營利者、好名譽者，以及愛好智慧者。他主張說，沉思、認知和覺醒才是最好的生活類型。然而或許還有其他重要的類型：蛻變的生活。本次演講將討論安時處順，作為天人合一的體現。道和德的內在關聯是領悟天人合一的關鍵。道是天的運行；德是地的長養。運用道和德，人會隨著世界的偉大律動而轉化。這為人類的生命行為提供一個很好的模式。道的偉大在於它的運化能力。德是「調而應之」。兩者都需要創造性的綜效。《莊子》說，知道者必達於理，達於理者必明於權，明於權者不以物害己。

Greek philosophy Pythagoras gave us the word philosophy, love of wisdom. He also indentified three distinct life styles: the acquisitive, the competitive, and the contemplative. He argued that contemplation, awareness, awakening is by far the best lifestyle. However there might be other important lifestyle: transformative living. This talk will discuss 安時處順 (finding peace in time and going with flowing) as an embodiment of heaven and human in union. The intrinsic connection between Dao and de is a key to grasp heaven and human in union. Dao is heavenly movement; de is earthly nourishment. By applying Dao and de, one will transform along with the great rhythm of the world. This provides a good model for human behavior. The greatness of Dao is in its ability to transform and change. De is ＂responding by attuning.＂ Both require a creative synergy. According to Zhuangzi, when you get the Dao, you will be able to penetrate the patterns (li), and then you will have a clear head to weigh or balance things (quan 權), and then you will also gain bodily powers.
