穿越生死之道
Laifang on the Way · Lecture 7
The Way Beyond Life and Death
世人畏死，是因为把死亡当作终点。
而修道者不畏死，因为他们知道——
为生而死，死得其所。
死亡不是终点，而是转换；
不是消失，而是另一种归位。
Most people fear death because they see it as the end.
But those who walk the Way do not fear it—
for they understand:
to die for life is to die with meaning.
Death is not an end, but a transformation;
not disappearance, but a return.
“生”与“死”，不是绝对的概念，
它们是相对的、流动的，
是道在不同阶段中的两种表达方式。
Life and death are not absolute concepts.
They are relative and fluid—
two expressions of the Way unfolding in different stages.
就像春与秋，昼与夜，潮涨与退，
都不是毁灭，而是流转。
Like spring and autumn,
day and night, the rise and fall of tides—
none is destruction,
but movement.
长生，不是停留在某一刻的不死，
而是超越“生”与“死”的对立，
进入一个不断循环、自由往来的状态。
Longevity is not about remaining forever at a single moment,
but about transcending the opposition between life and death—
entering a state of continual flow and free return.
在上一讲中我们说：
“给我一个支点，我能撬动地球，甚至撬动生死。”
In the previous lecture, we said:
“Give me a fulcrum, and I may move the Earth—
perhaps even life and death.”
今天我们就来谈谈，
如何以“道”为支点，
撬动我们对生死的理解，甚至穿越它的边界。
Today, we speak of how to use the Way as our fulcrum—
to shift how we understand death,
and perhaps cross its boundaries.
很多人以为，“长生不死”只是古人的幻想，
是道士、仙人、帝王、炼丹者的妄想。
但真正理解“道”的人知道：
长生，是真事。
Many dismiss “immortality” as ancient fantasy—
the dream of alchemists, sages, and kings.
But those who truly understand the Way know:
to live long is real.
它不是永远不死，
而是不死于本不该死的东西——
贪欲、焦虑、妄动、执念。
It does not mean to never die,
but to not perish from what shouldn’t kill us—
greed, anxiety, restlessness, and obsession.
长生也不是靠科技将生命强行延长，
而是让生命回到它应有的节奏，
像树那样不凋，像水那样长流。
Longevity is not about forcibly extending life with technology,
but restoring life to its natural rhythm—
like a tree that does not wither,
like water that flows without end.
如果你问我：人真的可以不死吗？
我会说：可以，
前提是——你不再从“死”的角度看待“生”。
If you ask me, “Can humans truly escape death?”
I would say: yes—
if you stop viewing life through the lens of death.
死亡，是对抗生命的方式；
长生，是进入生命本源的方式。
Death resists life.
Longevity aligns with its source.
只要你与道相通，
你的身、气、神就会不断更新，
不是通过抗拒死亡，
而是通过自然循环、自我修复、返本归真。
As long as you remain aligned with the Way,
your body, breath, and spirit can continually renew—
not by resisting death,
but through natural regeneration and a return to the essence.
周恩来总理，是我心中最深刻的“行道者”。
Premier Zhou Enlai is, in my heart, the most profound practitioner of the Way.
他一生未言“长生”，
却真正走出了一条穿越生死之路。
He never spoke of longevity,
yet he truly walked a path that transcended life and death.
在他人生的最后岁月，身体渐弱，病痛交加，
但他的精神没有一丝退却。
In his final years, though his body weakened and illness came,
his spirit never faltered.
他说：“我一生无愧于人民。”
这是他对“生”的交代，
也是他对“死”的回应。
He once said,
“I have no shame before the people.”
That was his answer to life—
and his response to death.
他的身体终有极限，
但他的“道”，没有死。
His body reached its limit,
but his Way did not.
他的名字，被亿万人轻轻呼唤；
他的精神，流入了后代人的骨血。
His name is softly spoken by millions.
His spirit lives on in the bones and hearts of generations.
周恩来总理的“生”，有两种意义：
一是为长治久安而生。
正因有了他及那一代人的奋斗，
才有今日和平的年代，
让人们得以重新追问、探索——
是否存在真正的“长生久视”？
二是精神之生，永垂不朽。
他虽已逝去，
但他的信仰、修养、品格、和平之愿，
已成为一条代代传承的“道”。
Premier Zhou Enlai’s life held two meanings:
First, he lived for long-term peace and stability.
Because of him and his generation’s sacrifices,
we today enjoy an era of peace—
where once again it becomes possible to ask:
Can true longevity still exist?
Second, his spirit lives on.
Though his body is gone,
his ideals, character, and peaceful vision
have become a living Way passed from generation to generation.
我作为一个现代人，
缅怀不是终点，延续才是起点。
我要继续讲“长生之道”，
让我们的记忆更长，
时间更宽，
为纪念我们的前辈，
也为了培养下一代，继续维护——
和平的长久，生命的长久。
那，将是一个真正
天人合一的世界。
As a modern person,
I believe remembrance is not the end—
continuation is the beginning.
I wish to keep speaking of the Way of Longevity,
to make memory last longer,
time stretch wider—
to honor those who came before,
and to raise those who will come after—
to protect the longevity of peace,
and the longevity of life.
That will be a world
where humanity and heaven truly become one.
来芳曰｜Laifang’s Note
真正的“穿越生死”，
是明白生死是相对的，流动的，
不是恐惧的边界，而是转换的门户。
长生，不是神话，
而是活在道中，与天地同频的状态。
你无需抗拒死亡，
只需让自己成为“道”的一部分，
那时，你的生命将无所畏惧，
你的存在将恒久绵长。
To truly transcend life and death
is to recognize that they are relative and in motion—
not fearsome boundaries, but gateways of transformation.
Longevity is not myth,
but a state of living within the Way, attuned to heaven and earth.
You do not need to resist death.
You only need to become part of the Way.
Then your life will hold no fear,
and your presence will endure.
