王龙溪心性工夫论的内涵和思想特色

The Meaning and Features of Wang Longxi's Spiritual Practice Theory

明代中晚期的心学思想家王龙溪通过自己的修道实践,形成了丰富而深邃的心性工夫论思想,主要表现在:以良知为诀,重在理会性情,在日常生活中慎于一念之微,而且强调寡欲之功,以求心灵的解脱和自由。这些工夫论思想,表明了一个基本的道理:"有真修,然后有实悟"。因此,自明清以来的某些学人以为龙溪"谈本体而讳言工夫"的说法,是一种明显的误解。王龙溪的心性工夫论,简洁易行,切于日用,对于古今任何有志于天人性命之道的学者而言,都具有不可低估的思想启发意义。

Wang Longxi, a scholar of School of Mind in the late period of Ming dynasty, formed meaningful and deeply spiritual practice thoughts through his own experience. That can be primarily reflected in the following aspects: know disposition well, be caution about every intention in our daily life, put more importance on stoicism as well as conscience to pursue liberation and freedom. That implied a basic principle:substantial practice, and then internal awareness. Therefore, the view that his theory is just on ontology rather than on practice since Ming dynasty is obviously misunderstanding. Wang Longxi's spiritual practice is concise and easily implementing in daily life. For anyone aspiring and for human nature, the impact and enlightening of Wang Longxi's spiritual practice theory cannot be undervalued.
