道德生命的實踐者－－吳與弼的學行

The Practice and Experience of Meditation from Pan-Long Kao

吳與弼(1391-1469)為明代理學家，他的學說繼承北宋以來的理學思想，重視下學的實踐之功，以及「敬義夾持」、「靜時涵養」、「動時省察」等修養方法，又以涵養本心為學問宗旨。一生努力實踐，樹立人格及師道典範，從學者又開出明代理學的不同學派，在明代理學史上佔重要地位。

Meditation is an important method to modify one's behavior and mind since the ancient times in China. It is highly appreciated by most of the Confucian since Song and Ming dynasties. Among them, Pan-Long Gao is one of the few people that could elucidate the meditating methods accurately and share his experience delicately.Gao constantly practiced in meditation and received great benefit from it. The meditating effect he advocated includes having a tranquil mind, dancing coherently with what you read and understanding your character.In this study, we summaried the meditating methods suggested by Gao, e.g. practicing in common life, concentration, reviewing what the saint ever said and regulating your mental status without any disturbance under everyday activity. The purpose of this essay is to present the meditating methods that Gao frequently used and to provide a pathway to learn meditation.
