Abstract
A Study on the Application of Chuang-tzu¡¦s philosophy of life
to Modern Life
Chuang-tzu¡¦s philosophy of life is the wisdom of transcending sufferings and enjoying peace and stability both physically and spiritually. "The perfect man ignores self; the divine man ignores achievement; the true Sage ignores reputation." is the most ideal realm of human life. In order to reach the realm, one needs cultivation and fulfillment activities. ¡§have no need to depend on anything and have a happy excursion ¡¨,¡§I and everything therein are One¡¨, ¡§accept the natural course and sequence of things and live in obedience to it¡¨, ¡§fall in line with nature¡¨, and ¡¨ in morality, a guide¡¨are the core of Chuang-tzu¡¦s thought.
Modern people lose their life significance. As a result, they feel dejected and depressed. If Chuang-tzu¡¦s philosophy of life is applied to educating modern people¡¦s mind, it will help people transcend suffering and liberate themselves from constraints.
Education problems in Taiwan are complicated. If Chuang-tzu¡¦s philosophy of life is applied to dealing with education problems, the problems will be solved effectively.
Now environmental disaster threatens the whole of civilization and endangers the lives on earth. If Chuang-tzu¡¦s philosophy of life is applied to solving environmental disaster, people will yield the sense of harmony with the world and there will be full of vitality on earth.
Therefore, if Chuang-tzu¡¦s philosophy of life is applied in modern life, it will help us to transcend suffering, solve education problems, and deal with environmental disaster effectively. We should not only cherish it but also put it into practice.
key words: Chuang-tzu, Chuang-tzu¡¦s philosophy of life, life suffering, education problems, environmental disaster
