Topic: Chu Hsi



  
 Stillness and Activity
Chu Hsi considered the state of mind described by the terms "unity" and "reverent composure" to be the spiritual basis of both the intellectual cultivation of mind and moral activity.
Chu Hsi's description of Ch'an meditation, like his accounts of Buddhist doctrines, is a caricature.
Chu claimed that the T'ai-chi Diagram and its Explanation were esoteric teachings that Chou had revealed to the Ch'eng brothers, which they were unwilling to share with their own students.

 Chu Hsi and Divination
Chu's fundamental problematic, the basis of all his intellectual concerns, was the possibility and the difficulty of attaining sagehood by means of self-cultivation.
Chu Hsi's claim that divination is the detection of incipient change is found in his commentary on chapter 24 of the Doctrine of the Mean.
Chu Hsi's point in his letter to Chang Shih (quoted at the beginning of this chapter) is that these texts were not the original locus of meaning.

 Toward The Ecumenical Unity of East and West: The Renaissances of Confucian China and Christian Europe
Chu Hsi mocked any lesser concept of the mind, either the Taoist/Legalist argument that, in order to impose order on the ignorant masses, people must be treated like beasts, or the Zen Buddhist argument that the outside world should be rejected in favor of self-reflection and personal enlightenment.
To Chu Hsi, these terms all refer to the one Creator God in the same sense as was understood by the fathers of Christianity and those who followed in the tradition of St. Augustine.
To Chu Hsi, God, the Universal Principle, is infinite, indivisible, and eternal.

 Chu Hsi and his principle of wisdom as hidden and stored
During the time of Chu Hsi, (1130-1200AD), Confucian doctrine had been in stagnation for more than a thousand years, being supplanted by Taoist and Buddhist systems of thought.
To preserve the mind, Chu Hsi said it must be exercised, through the investigation of things until their fundamental principles are understood.
As ones knowledge and learning continues, one will "awaken all of a sudden" to what is harmonius and unified, which is manifested as "total substance and great functioning." If the mind is not properly cultivated, Chu Hsi asserted that the extension of knowledge would deteriorate into empty learning.

 CGR3
Chu Hsi says, "From the most essential and most fundamental about one-self to every single thing or affair in the world, even the meaning of one word or half a word, everything should be investigated to the utmost, and none of it is unworthy of attention.
Ch'en Ch'un (1159 - 1223), one of Chu Hsi's eminent disciples, explains the connection between the Principle of Heaven and impartiality as follows.
According to Chu Hsi, one should learn the Great Learning, the Analects, the Book of Mencius, and the Doctrine of the Mean in that order.

 Chu Hsi
Indeed Chu Hsi despite the occasional stridency of some of his later criticisms of Buddhism nonetheless remained influenced by some of its metaphysical teachings.
For him, indeed for Confucians in contrast to Buddhists, such practices were not postures to evoke an alterior state of enlightenment.
Chu Hsi maintains, however, that this unity is discerned in experience.

 Chu Hsi's Li-Chi Concept of the Universe
Further, just as Chu Hsi indicated that these Uncreated Universals can be discovered in the Four Books of China, we Christians believe that they can be discovered even more clearly and abundantly in the divinely revealed Word of God, in particular in the Four Gospels.
* True natural revelation (such as one find in Chu Hsi) and true Supernatural Revelation (such as one find in the Bible) should complement each another in a greater harmony, as one is indirectly (naturally) and the other one is directly (supernaturally) given by God, without Whom nothing genuinely revelatory is possible.
As never before, what the postmodern world needs, therefore, is the conviction, belief, or spiritual common sense that some uncreated, timeless and mind-independent universals or Lis do exist.

 Session 104
Noting that Chu’s mature philosophy has more in common with Ts’ao-tung than the Lin-chi, which Chu studied as a youth, I point out that the main difference between Chu and Buddhism lies in his moral intentionality and acceptance of social responsibility.
In principle, Chu Hsi disapproved of popular religious practices that deviated from Confucian rituals, but in real life he allowed himself to conform with social demands placed on a filial son in arranging burials of his parents according to prevailing fung-shui customs.
The paper concludes with Buddhist influence on Chu’s teachings through a comparison of both the doctrine of reverence to mindfulness and the concept of Buddha-nature with the Great Ultimate and principle.

 Chu Hsi Synthesis
According to Chu, all things in the universe possessed principle, which as defined by him and the Ch’eng brothers before him was both the reason why a thing was as it was and the rule to which a thing should conform.
In Chu’s view principle in the world was one, it simply had many manifestations.
So although different things manifested it in different ways, the rule to which those things conformed was ultimately one, as was the reason those things were as they were.

 Chapter 1: DIAGRAM OF
Mien-tsai was the honorific name of Huang Kan (1152-1221), Chu Hsi's son-in-law and one of his leading disciples.
Read from the top down it is an unfolding of the Supreme Ultimate to its diversified manifestation in the many creatures; considered from the bottom up, it is a revelation of the ultimate unity within the manifest plurality of those creatures.
The one principle, then, transcends distinctions; its diverse manifes­tation as the specific natures of different creatures is due rather to differentiations, typically expressed in terms of purity and fineness versus turbidity and coarseness, that arise in material force, the vehicle of its manifestation.38

Chu Hsi's Admonition for Mindfulness Studio says, "Rec­ollect your mind and make it abide, as if you were present before the Lord on High.
These aspects also are evident in Chu Hsi'sAdmonition for Mindfulness Studio.
He was a leading scholar who studied with He Chi, a disciple of Chu Hsi's son-in-law and chief doctrinal heir, Huang Kan. The doctrine of mindfulness was one of his chief concerns, and this diagram arose through his own attempt to make Chu Hsi's Admonition the norm and guide of his daily life.

 Chu Hsi
Chu Hsi (1130-1200 CE) became the acknowledged exponent of Neo-Confucianism, which combined the traditional values of Confucianism with a metaphysical theory of humanity’s relation to the universe.
Chu Hsi saw human nature as perfectly moral, deriving from the law or principle of the universe (expressed as descending from heaven).
The humanistic aspects of Chu’s philosophy derive very much from the Confucian canon, and his texts are replete with quotations from the Master and from the Chinese Classics of even earlier centuries.

 Publisher description for Library of Congress control number 88012661
As revealed by Munro, Chu Hsi's thought is polarized between family duty and a broader altruism and between obedience to external authority and self-discovery of moral truth.
For nearly six centuries Confucian orthodoxy was based on Chu Hsi's commentaries on Confucian classics.
Munro finds the key to the complexities of Chu Hsi's thought in his mode of discourse: the structural images of family, stream of water, mirror, body, plant, and ruler.
