WANG Yongyan. Integration of Insight Meditation and Aesthetic Education[J]. Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine2021, 62(6): 461-462.DOI: 10.13288/j.11-2166/r.2021.06.001.
Both Zen and aesthetics emphasize the cultivation of the spiritual life. Zen advocates "integration of wisdom and reason
environment and spirit"
and therefore individuals can realize "reason" by converting "ignorance" into "enlightenment" through insight meditation
so as to achieve the unity of the individual and the universe. Aesthetic education reflects the law of oneness of Heaven and Man. Ancient Chinese sages express the aesthetic connotations of "naturalization of man" and "humanization of nature" as "the unity of nature and man"
"the unity of the object and the self"
"the unity of knowledge and action"
and "the unity of body and spirit" for pursuit of truth and goodness. The integration of insight meditation and aesthetic education not only brings understanding and opportunities for a new era of big science
high-concept and big data
but provides the internal driving force of cultural inhe-ritance and innovation for traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) to embrace the historical changes of scientific and technological civilization. Therefore
all scientific and technological achievements at all times and in all over the world can be integrated with TCM to build a unified medical system with Chinese-specific characteristics.
