谈到中华传统文化，大家首先想到的莫过于以孔子思想为代表的儒学思想，但中华传统文化绝不止这些；谈到中医药，大家第一印象可能是针灸、按摩，因为她们已经走向全球，但中医药也远不止如此。医学、生物学飞速发展的21世纪，中医药学这一古老学科为什么还有生命力？她与现代医药学有何不同？为什么很多人觉得中医药知识体系不容易学习和掌握？因为：中医药学具有深厚的中华传统文化背景，如果不了解中华传统文化，就难以深入理解中医药学的思想和知识。 本课程就是希望通过剖析中医药与中华传统文化的密切联系，使大家了解中医药学的中华传统文化的背景，更容易理解中医药的思维特征、思想特色和知识体系。通过本课程的学习，不仅能掌握一些中医药的基本知识、中医药养生的原理和方法，还能从中医药的视角认识中华传统文化的精髓。

道文化与中医药 & 佛文化与中医药
在古代著名的医药学家中不乏知名道士，如魏晋时期的王叔和、东晋时期的葛洪、梁代陶弘景、唐代的王冰、孙思邈等，将道文化思想不断融入中医药学；道文化与中医药有着深厚渊源。而作为泊来文化的佛文化是否也对中医药产生了影响呢？让我们共同学习探讨！

Hello, everyone.
Last time, we simply introduced how Buddhism was introduced to China.
This time, we will have a look at the features of Buddhism culture.
It can be generalized as the following words.
The first is ‘Empty’.
our Noble Truths
The third is cause and effect.
And the fourth is transmigration.
Air is the origin of “Empty.”
This is the cosmology of Buddhism,
also a noble one.
The highest status of understanding.
It is the truth to life.
Everything in this world including mountain, river, earth, plants
Human and animal and even dust
Are originated from Karma's aggregation.
And it will die out with disperse of Karma.
So，all the existence we see
Are born with Karma.
Which means that the nature of everything is
Actually 'Emptiness'.
The theory of Karma can explain that everything in the world are
Interdependent with each other.
If there is not relationship and Karma,
Nothing can exist.
For example, if a person live on the world,
He survive because some people grow crops.
Because people weave, we can have clothes.
Because people drive bus,
We can take one.
To every place we want to go.
If there is no such Karma,
We can’t survive.
It is the Karma.
So, in the Buddhism scripture, the Big Four are all vanity.
So, what is the Big Four?
Think.
Actually, those refer to
Earth, water ,fire, wind—the four elements to construct the world.
Like our Five Elements,
Which includes Wood, Fire, Earth, Gold and Water,
The Indian Buddhism includes four elements.
Which are earth, water , wind and fire.
Here means the basic elements in physic world.
If it is limited in such field,
It develops into the materialism.
So, these thoughts reflect some materialism.
The big four mentioned in the Buddhism scripture,
Follow the original meaning in India.
And it was also made more profound and Buddhism.
The Big Four elements are
Cosmo-physic elements.
The mountains and land belong to the “Big Earth”.
Sea and river belong to the “Big Water”.
Sun and heat belong to “Big Fire”.
Wind and space belong to "Big Wind".
It is such a concept.
When it refer to the physiological status,
Hair, bone and flesh belong to "Big Earth".
Blood belongs to "Big Water".
Temperature belongs to "Big Fire".
Breath belongs to "Big Wind".
From the aspect of matters,
Hard things belong to "Big Earth" and humid things belong to "Big Water".
There are many different explanations.
Whatever the explanation is,
The Big Four refers to the features of the natural materials.
If the features of all the Big Four is vanity,
Everything should be vanity.
By looking through the vanity, Karma exists.
When the Karma disappears, everything dies.
There is nothing permanent.
And everything will die out.
What kind of truth it is?
I think for human beings,
One can truly understanding the nature of life by
Penetrating this fact.
We won't pursue immortality when we are
Old enough.
We won't do that.
Because we know that we will die sooner or later.
So, the vanity here is very
Reasonable.
The second topic is the Four Truths.
It is the value of truth in Buddhism.
Bitter Truth tells us to see the life as shipping in the sea of bitterness.
The Buddhists think that
The whole life of people,
Is filled with all kinds of bitterness.
There is eight bitterness.
Like the Bitterness of Birth.
When the infant was born,
His skin and fresh are very fragile,
It is painful to touch and adapt to the outside world.
The first noise is cry
Instead of laughter.
The second is the bitterness of ageing.
When one is old, he loses his hair teeth.
He will also has difficulty in eating and walking.
The Bitterness of Ageing is filled with all kinds of pains.
The third is the bitterness of illness.
It is caused by all kinds of diseases
On our body.
The fourth is the Bitterness of Death.
When one is dying, he will fear the death
Also, the desire for living will make him painful.
Hatred will also make people painful.
There also bitterness of love and separation
And the bitterness of not getting.
The mental pain when we cannot
Do what we want to do or
Pursue what we can't get.
There are many such people nowadays.
There is also the bitterness of collection.
People's life is the collection of bitterness.
This is what we call the truth of bitterness.
The second Truth is called the Truth of Cause
So, what causes bitterness?
Why there are so many kind of bitterness?
The Truth of Cause tells us that
The cause is the “Ye” and “Huo”.
“Ye”, refers to the evilness of body, mouth and thoughts.
“Huo” refers to confusion.
The third is the Truth of Extinction.
It means to get rid of all the bitterness and its cause.
It teaches people to learn, feel and practice.
To pursue truth and to transcend the vulgar pursuit and get rid of the low level desire.
And to pursue the integration and spiritual world.
It is a kind of spiritual freedom.
The fourth is the Magga-sacca
It teaches us to drive the boat of life
Away from the bitterness to the bank of happiness.
Now people have known the bitterness and causes of it.
If they are determined to get rid of all the bitterness, what should they do？
“Magga-sacca” is consisted of methods and routines.
There are 8 correct ways called the right view, the right thought, speech, work
Life, meditation, tranquility and spirit.
We will leave this
And if you are interested in skandha, you can read some materials.
We will not discuss this due to lack of time.
The third feature is Samskaras
It is the view of life of Buddhism.
It's the most basic principles of Buddhism.
“Karma” is the cause.
“Effect” is the result.
“Ye” refers all the behavior mentally and physically..
There are three “ye”
“Effect” is the retribution of “Ye”
It is the effect caused by the Three Ye.
Cause is the Ye and the effect is the retribution.
Inclusion, the goodness caused the good result and the evilness caused the bitter result.
the specific goodness gain the specific bless
And the specific evilness gain the specific bitterness.
It is the law of cause and effect.
So it is the basic thought.
So, why the evil people will also gain the bless?
Because it has done a lot of goodness in the past.
There is an unexplainable phenomenon.
Here are some examples.
So it teaches people how to save themselves and others.
We won't tack too much about the 12 Karma.
The fourth aspect is the the six great divisions in the wheel of karma
It is the manifesting way of cause and effect.
There is cause and effect
And it comes to the six wheels.
It has many other names, and it
Is how all the lives transmigrate.
the six ways can be divided into three good ways and three evil ways.
The three good ways include heaven, human and Asura.
The three evil ways are Hell, Ghost of Starvation, Animosity
A Buddhist thinks that dead people are truly dead.
They transmigrate.
So there are different destinations for transmigration, which
Has been mentioned as the six ways.
Asura is a good way,
But it is not good as heaven.
And it has more bitterness than people.
So sometimes it is regarded an evil way.
So the Buddhists believe that everybody should obey panca silani (the five percepts)
So six roots makes people neat
If one conducts the five percepts and the 10 goodness,
He can be raised to the heaven,
Which tells people
How to restrict oneself in the daily life.
So that one can own a different destination.
However, this is not true
By scientific analysis.
Death is death.
It is not the disappearance of karma.
The disappeared body can't be transferred into another world.
But we know that we fear
When we are dying.
So, in this perspective
Those who are sick and dying
Can be relieved,
If he believe in this.
It is valuable for terminal care.
So, it has some positive effect
In medical application.
We set the science aside.
In mental world,
It has its own credits.
So, we will talk about its ideological features.
There are in general these four aspects.
Let's talk about the influence of Buddhism culture on TCM.
