《冥想的科学基础与应用》连载006“The Scientific Basis and Application of Meditation“006

目前，巨大的科学力量正在改变着我们的生活方式，但人文还没有改变我们的生命本身，人文之光显得非常微弱。所以，我们国家现在最缺的就是一种人文精神的启蒙和关照。

在这里，我能真切感受到崔东红教授心中的那份“焦急”，在精神疾病的发病机制上，现代科学仍未取得突破性发展，但是我相信，有了崔东红、蒋春雷、贾立军、张艳梅等专家的探索和研究，有了“整合医学”这一新思路，只要把现代科学与中国古老的智慧结合起来，把中国传统医学与西方现代医学整合起来，相互印证，相互包容，定然会出现一种新的医学气象。有时候，思路就是出路，思路就是方向。

如今，我也已近耳顺之年，但我现在的精力远远超过我十八岁，除了牙齿有点磨损、视力没有十八岁好之外，其他的体能指标都超过十八岁。平时，我也感觉不到累，感觉不到身体，写作质量也非常高，这就得益于我平时的冥想训练。

美国科学家曾经做过一个实验，报道中说，人疲劳的时候，细胞是没有光泽和弹性的，显得像脱水的苹果那样，但人在完全放松的状态中，高度宁静的状态中，宇宙波会为自己的细胞补充能量，让细胞充满活力，显得非常饱满。他们检测到了这种效果。根据我的经验，冥想就有这种效果。当我非常疲惫没有一点能量的时候，我会进行冥想，一般情况下，至多三分钟之后，整个身体就变得非常饱满，充满了能量。我的意思就是，它肯定有一种物质性的东西，进入了我的生命中。

那么，当我们进入禅定时，便可以进入到我们的深层意识，也就是老祖宗所说的第八识阿赖耶识当中，来修复完善心识当中残缺的那部分意识。在“雪漠创意写作班”中，我就通过火瑜伽、水瑜伽、冥想等训练，引导学员们进入意识的深层次，让大家运用心灵及心识的力量来进行创作。当你发现了阿赖耶识的秘密，你就能通过冥想修炼，修复残缺的基因，就能明白空性智慧的无穷创造性，就能谱写一个个美丽的童话，创造一个个圆满的世界。所以，创意写作真正深入到灵魂深处时，你便能改写自己的生命程序，趋向一种完美与圆满，创造出你想创造的任何世界。

可见，精神的治愈效果可能比药物更为强大，这就是信仰为什么能治愈一些精神病、抑郁症的原因。很多患有抑郁症的读者，在读我的书的时候，就会进入一种无我的状态，就能被文字所承载的那种智慧所磁化，一部分智慧气就能进入到他的中脉，继而心解脉开，契入空性。当他与世界、与他人、与自然达到圆融无碍的时候，一些精神疾病自然就会痊愈。可见，精神疾病的源头还是执著，当你达到无我、放下执著的时候，就会进入一种无为的状态，所有的精神疾病这时候就消失了。

未来，我觉得，有志于医学事业的科研者，一定要学到一种修身方法，让自己的生命融入到道中，真正进入道的世界，而并非仅仅在术的层面做学问。让自己从知识中走出来，进入到本有的智慧中，也就是回到生命的原点。

最早的时候，中医医生的基本功是内修。内修完成之后，才能给人治病。像孙思邈、李时珍等，都是修道真人。当你通过实修实证之后，修到一定境界时，很多东西就自然明白了，如子午流注图、《黄帝内经》等，都是内证境界的一种呈现。包括我的《老子的心事》《空空之外》《真心》《慧心》等，也都是一种境界的呈现。

所以，真正的医学大师，除了精通医术之外，他还必须是一位文化集大成者。简言之，他不仅要重“术”，还应该重“道”。这也是樊代明先生一直强调人文重要性的原因所在。对于人文的构建，我用五个字来概括，即正、清、诚、明、和。其中，正代表正念，正大光明；清，就是清凉、干净、远离欲望；诚，就是诚信；明，超越智慧；和，就是人类命运共同体。其中，关于人文方面的研究，我在《雪漠智慧课程》一书中，都有详细的论述，在此不再赘述。

在这个后疫情时代，我们要与时俱进，不要抱残守缺，要引进智慧活水，以更大的胸怀来拥抱这个时代。更不要抱着自己认为的“宝贝”，当成私家物品死死不放，要知道，真正的文化瑰宝不属于自己，不属于哪个人，不属于哪个民族，它属于全人类。所以，我们在研究“小鱼”的时候，更要看到鱼儿生存的那片大海，更要潜入大海深处，打捞出真正的“珍宝”来。为了整个人类的共同命运，让我们尽一份力量，共同珍惜一种人文精神，让它成为中华民族的一种正能量。

At present, the tremendous power of science is changing our way of life, but the humanities have not yet changed the essence of our lives, and the light of the humanities appears very dim. Therefore, what our country currently lacks most is an enlightenment and care for humanistic spirit.

Here, I can genuinely feel the “anxiety” in Professor Cui Donghong’s heart. Modern science has not yet made breakthrough developments in the pathogenesis of mental illness, but I believe that with the exploration and research of experts such as Cui Donghong, Jiang Chunlei, Jia Lijun, and Zhang Yanmei, and with the new concept of “integrative medicine,” as long as we combine modern science with China’s ancient wisdom and integrate Chinese traditional medicine with Western modern medicine, mutually verifying and accommodating one another, a new medical outlook will inevitably emerge. Sometimes, the way of thinking is the way forward, and the way of thinking is the direction.

Now, I am close to the age of sixty, but my energy far exceeds what it was when I was eighteen. Except for some wear on my teeth and vision not being as good as when I was eighteen, all other physical indicators surpass those of my youth. On a daily basis, I don’t feel tired, I don’t feel my body, and the quality of my writing is excellent. This is thanks to my regular meditation training.

American scientists once conducted an experiment. The report said that when a person is fatigued, their cells lack luster and elasticity, appearing like a dehydrated apple. But when a person is in a completely relaxed, deeply tranquil state, cosmic waves replenish the cells with energy, making them vibrant and full. They detected this effect. Based on my experience, meditation has this effect. When I am extremely tired and have no energy left, I meditate. In most cases, after three minutes at most, my entire body becomes full and energized. What I mean is that some tangible substance definitely enters my life.

So, when we enter into meditation, we can access our deeper consciousness, also known as the eighth consciousness (Alaya-vijnana), as mentioned by our ancestors, and repair the incomplete parts of our consciousness. In the “Xuemo Creative Writing Workshop,” through fire yoga, water yoga, meditation, and other practices, I guide participants into the deeper layers of consciousness, allowing them to use the power of the mind and consciousness for creative work. When you discover the secret of the Alaya consciousness, you can cultivate it through meditation, repair damaged genes, comprehend the boundless creativity of emptiness wisdom, and write beautiful fairy tales, creating perfect worlds. Therefore, when creative writing reaches deep into the soul, you can rewrite your life program, move toward perfection, and create any world you want.

It is evident that the healing power of the mind may be stronger than medicine. This explains why faith can cure some mental illnesses and depression. Many readers who suffer from depression, upon reading my books, enter a state of selflessness, becoming magnetized by the wisdom carried in the words. A portion of that wisdom energy enters their central channel, and their heart chakra opens, allowing them to experience emptiness. When they reach a state of harmony with the world, with others, and with nature, some mental illnesses naturally heal. Clearly, the root of mental illness is attachment. When you reach a state of no-self and let go of attachment, you enter a state of non-doing, and all mental illnesses disappear.

In the future, I believe that researchers dedicated to the field of medicine must learn a method of self-cultivation, integrating their life into the Dao, truly entering the world of the Dao, rather than merely engaging in scholarship at the level of technique. They should transcend knowledge and enter innate wisdom, returning to the source of life.

In the earliest times, the fundamental practice of Chinese medicine doctors was inner cultivation. Only after completing inner cultivation could they heal others. People like Sun Simiao and Li Shizhen were true cultivators of the Dao. After attaining a certain level of realization through genuine cultivation and experience, many things naturally became clear. The Meridian Flowchart, *Huangdi Neijing*, and other texts are manifestations of inner realization. My own works, such as *Laozi’s Inner Thoughts*, *Beyond Emptiness*, *True Heart*, and *Wisdom Heart*, are also expressions of realization.

Thus, a true master of medicine, in addition to mastering medical skills, must also be a grand connoisseur of culture. In short, they must value not only technique but also the Dao. This is why Mr. Fan Daiming has always emphasized the importance of the humanities. Regarding the construction of the humanities, I summarize it in five words: righteousness, clarity, sincerity, wisdom, and harmony. Righteousness represents right mindfulness, great righteousness; clarity means coolness, cleanliness, and detachment from desire; sincerity stands for honesty and integrity; wisdom transcends ordinary knowledge; and harmony refers to the community of shared human destiny. My detailed discussions on the humanities can be found in my book *Xuemo Wisdom Courses*, so I won’t elaborate further here.

In this post-pandemic era, we must keep up with the times, not cling to outdated ideas, but introduce the living waters of wisdom and embrace this era with greater openness. We must not hold on to what we think of as “treasures” as if they were private possessions. It’s important to recognize that true cultural treasures do not belong to any individual, nor to any specific people—they belong to all of humanity. Therefore, when we study the “small fish,” we must also see the ocean in which the fish live. We must dive deep into the ocean to bring up true treasures. For the sake of humanity’s shared destiny, let us contribute together, and jointly cherish a humanistic spirit, allowing it to become a positive force for the Chinese nation.
