摘要

今日科技的發達、社會的現代化似乎為人類帶來的不是幸福，而是痛苦與危險。人們越來越自私、自大，為了經濟的富裕與生活的便利，毫無節制地破壞自然環境。更有甚者，無窮地擴張權力慾望，不惜引發戰爭，將人類帶往毀滅之途。而都市中緊張高壓的生活、爭名逐利的大眾、社會新聞中逞強鬥勇的事件、媒體傳達的奢靡浮華消費觀等，皆讓不安的人心更加浮動。處於這樣的亂世之中，或許老子的智慧可以給我們一些安身立命之道，讓我們心靈得以淨化、與天地自然能夠和諧共存。老子的學說與師法自然、淨化人心密切相關處：（1）順自然與無為；（2）處下、不爭、柔弱；（3）忘名、忘利、忘身；（4）知足、知止、去貪欲；（5）去智巧、詐偽；（6）慈與儉；（7）主虛靜。

Technological advancement and social modernization nowadays seem to bring pain and danger instead of happiness to human beings. People become more and more selfish and arrogant, destroying the environment immoderately in order to achieve economic prosperity and life convenience. In addition, they even expand the desire for power unlimitedly, trigger the war by all means and bring people to the way to devastation. Moreover, life full of tension and high pressure in urban cities, people who fight for fame and fortune, social violence in news, the sumptuous and flashy concept of consumption delivered by the social media, and so on all make people who feel uneasy more impulsive. In such turbulent days, maybe the wisdom of Laozi can bring us some ways to settle down and get on with our pursuit, make our soul purified and let us coexist harmoniously with the nature.The close relevance between Laozi's theory and learning form nature and purifying people's mind:(1)taking the world as it is and inaction; (2)being lower, striving with none and being soft; (3)gnoring fame, wealth, and self; (4)being content, knowing when to stop before going too far, getting rid of greed; (5)discarding cleverness and fraud; (6)being merciful and frugal; (7)advocating emptiness and stillness.
