一德:明代养生家吕坤说:“仁可长寿,德可延年,养德尤养生之第一要也。”此话强调了道德修养对于养生的重要性。


  二字:宋代苏东坡认为:“安则物之感我者轻,和则我之应物者顺。”他认为养生之道在于“安”“和”二字。“安”即静心,“和”即顺心。


  三戒:孔子曰:“君子有三戒:少之时,血气未定,戒之在色;及其壮也,血气方刚,戒之在斗;及其老也,血气既衰,戒之在得。”戒色、戒斗、戒得是养生三要。


  四法:明代医学家万密斋指出:“养生之法有四:一曰寡欲,二曰慎动,三曰法时,四曰却疾。”意思是减少欲望、不妄劳作、按时令养生和祛除疾病的困扰。


  五知:宋代周守忠说:“知喜怒之损性,故豁情以宽心;知思虑之销神,故损情而内守;知语烦之侵气,故闭口而忘言;知哀乐之损寿,故抑之而不有;知情欲之窃命,故忍之而不为。”此节制七情六欲之意。


  六节:明代医学家江绮石说:“节嗜欲以养精,节烦恼以养神,节愤怒以养肝,节辛勤以养力,节思虑以养心,节悲哀以养肺。”意思是怡情节欲以养精神、滋脏腑。


  七食:清代养生家石成金指出:“食宜早些,不可迟晚;食宜缓些,不可粗速;食宜八九分,不可过饱;食宜淡些,不可厚味;食宜温暖,不可寒凉;食宜软烂,不可坚硬;食毕再饮茶两三口,漱口齿,令极净。”此为饮食养生的精粹。


  八乐:清代养生家石成金的“八乐”是:静坐之乐,读书之乐,赏花之乐,玩月之乐,观画之乐,听写之乐,狂歌之乐,高卧之乐。此为情趣养生。


  九思:孔子曰:“君子有九思:视思明,听思聪,色思温、貌思恭、言思忠,事思敬、疑思问、忿思维,见德思义。”这是君子的标准,也是养生修为者应当追求之境界。 (翁静)

And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.

Numbers 21:6
 
Why would it be here - only weeks away from their entering the Promised Land - that God would have poisonous serpents bite His people? Because if they’re not taught in the wilderness, they will be distraught in the Land of Promise. So too, God is willing to go to great extremes to get us to understand that if we’re not happy today, we’ll not be happy tomorrow regardless of what comes our way or where we might be. Happiness is an inside job.

God allows His children to feel a lot of pain and even to die in order that they might see and understand that He is with them, that He is enough for them, that He will take care of them. If they don’t learn to quit their complaining here, they’ll not experience His presence even in the Land of Promise.

How about you? Has it been a week of complaining? Have you heard yourself say, “This is hard right now, but as soon as I get the job or as soon as I retire, as soon as she marries me or as soon as my wife leaves me, as soon as we have kids or as soon as the kids move out, I’ll be happy”?

If you’re not happy today, you’ll not be happy tomorrow unless you get to the root issue. We get so deceived about this. We think we’re going to be happy “just as soon as,” but “just as soon as” never comes.
