Taiji Luo Wanxiang (Taiji Unites All Things)
Between heaven and earth, the way of Yin and Yang assists each other, creating all things. Yin and Yang are the foundation of the universe and the source of all things. When Yin and Yang are in harmony, all things grow; when they are imbalanced, all things wither. Therefore, harmonizing Yin and Yang is the essence of cultivating the true self.
As the ancients said: “Lonely Yin does not give birth, and solitary Yang does not thrive.” This is the truth of the interdependence of Yin and Yang. Yin generates Yang, and Yang generates Yin; they mutually create and restrain each other, being both the beginning and the end. To cultivate the true self and understand the way, one must first comprehend the principles of Yin and Yang to enter the path.
The cultivator harmonizes the way of Yin and Yang. Some may take Kan (坎) to fill Li (离), while others may follow the flow or go against it, all for the purpose of harmonizing Yin and Yang. Within Li, one Yin is the true Yin, and within Kan, one Yang is the true Yang. The cultivator should seek true Yang with true Yin and assist true Yin with true Yang to achieve the Dao.
The way of harmonizing Yin and Yang lies in subtlety and profound understanding. Not too much, not too little; neither biased nor neutral; neither hurried nor slow, this is the middle way. The cultivator should grasp it with the heart, control it with intention, and move the body with Qi (气) to comprehend the wonders of Yin and Yang.
Harmonizing Yin and Yang is not achieved in a day. The cultivator should persist and progress gradually to reach a better state. Harmonizing Yin and Yang brings peace to both body and mind, clarity of spirit, prevention of illness, and longevity. This is the reward of harmonizing Yin and Yang.
Therefore, the cultivator should prioritize the harmonization of Yin and Yang, with sincerity as the spirit, and seeking goodness as the foundation. Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva shows compassion to the world, responding to all requests. May all beings understand the way of Yin and Yang, harmonize the Qi of Yin and Yang, and collectively achieve the cultivation of the true self.
