丹蕨先生肖像 Portrait of Danjue

丹蕨先生(张肇麟),中国思想者。几十年企业一线与人生实修,提炼出一套看见自己的心、再把日子过明白的方法。

Danjue (Zhang Zhaolin) is a Chinese thinker. From decades of leading companies and living his questions, he distilled a practical way to see where your own mind is standing.

02 The problem

我们为什么会
误解、冲突、焦虑?Why do we misunderstand, clash and worry?

「我们看世界的时候,实际上是通过一个锥管在看,这个锥管就是自我。」

“When we look at the world, we are really looking through a tube — and that tube is the self.” trans.

丹蕨先生 · 博雅塾

人看世界、看别人,都是从此刻这颗心站的位置出发,却不自知。误解、冲突、焦虑与执着,常常从这里来。

We see everything from where our mind stands at this moment — without knowing it. Misunderstanding, conflict, anxiety and clinging often begin there.

03 The root idea

格位Gewei · gé wèi

the mind’s standpoint

「此心既起,必落格位。」

“Once a mind arises, it always lands in a standpoint.” trans.

「所谓当下的这颗心,它的格位,就是当下这颗心的全貌。」

“The standpoint of this present mind is the whole picture of this present mind.” trans.

每一个念头都从某个位置出发。这个位置不是身份、角色或品位,而是此刻这颗心本身。看见它,就能转它。

Every thought arises from a standpoint — not your role, title or taste, but the state of your mind at this moment. Once you see it, you can shift it.

同一句话,站在不同的格位,听到的就不一样Same words. A different standpoint, a different meaning.

示例 · 我们写的日常小例子,不是先生原话 An everyday illustration (ours, not his words)

同一句话“你今天回来得挺早。”“You’re home early today.”

听到的是 What you hear

翰澜五功The Five Disciplines of Hanlan

格位是根,五功是一条可以学的路:前三功看见自己的心,后两功带着这颗心进入世界。

Gewei is the root; the Five Disciplines are a path you can walk. The first three see your own mind; the last two carry it into the world.

Gewei · Selfless within the self

「“格位”的智慧,最终落脚就一个现世、大街上、过日子的“脱我执”。」

有“我”,但不被“我”抓住。Keep a self without clinging to it — on the street, in daily life.

Qiejing · Settled while walking and dwelling

「日常、过日子的“三昧”,闹市活泼“入定”。」

别把名字、说法当成事情本身;在闹市里也能定得住。Don’t mistake words for reality; stay settled amid the bustle.

Dangji · Seeing the mind in events

「从“事、物”观心,由“心”了物。」

你看到的都经过心里的结构;从具体的事上看见自己的心。What you see is shaped by your mind; read your mind in what happens.

Two-sided thinking · Meeting each person where they are

「心与心的界面,是格位与格位的关系。」

人与人之间,是两个位置的相遇;话要落在对方接得住的地方。Between two people, two standpoints meet; speak where the other can receive.

Jingcheng · Wisdom that flows with conditions

「我们最后活成什么样子是由我们的活法决定的,而不是某一个决策决定的。」

人是被走过的路塑造的;不执着某一个点,看整个过程。You become the path you walk, not any single decision.

先生自注 His own note:「五功也是方便说,实际上是互相渗透,彼中有此。」「以上的解释,不要做字面直解!」 “Only a convenient way of speaking; they interpenetrate.” “Do not read these literally.” trans.

05 For today

今天就能用的三件小工具Three small tools you can use today

三个三 The Three Threes

  • 闻过则喜 · 见贤思齐 · 以义为利Welcome correction · learn from the wise · let rightness be your profit
  • 每日一功 · 每日一悟 · 每日一善Each day: one practice · one insight · one kindness

「三毒戒是活法,三精进是我们的学习。」

“The three abstentions are a way of living; the three advances are our learning.” trans.

每天戒掉三种毒、练三种长进、记三件事。

Each day: avoid three poisons, cultivate three kinds of growth, log three things.

五爱 Five Loves

「人需要有五种爱的力量,他的人格才能安稳。」

“A person needs five powers of love for their character to be steady.” trans.

「你缺母爱的时候,奉献母爱。」

“When you lack a mother’s love, give a mother’s love.” trans.

缺什么爱,就去创造它、给出去。

Whatever love you lack, create it — and give it away.

迟应 Chiying · the delayed response

「迟应不是迟钝。迟应是在你的感受,和你的认知之间产生隔离。」

“A delayed response is not dullness. It puts a space between what you feel and what you conclude.” trans.

先别急着反应,给感受和判断之间留一点空。

Don’t rush to react. Leave a little room between feeling and judging.

06 Open to every tradition

心学不属于任何一家 The learning of the heart-mind belongs to no school

「心学是关于心灵的学问、心灵的突破,它不是任何家的,它不是任何一家。」

“The learning of the heart-mind is about the heart and its breakthroughs. It belongs to no school — to no one school at all.” trans.

「而任何的深彻的学问,最终都是什么?都是心学。」

“And every deep learning — what is it, in the end? A learning of the heart-mind.” trans.

「信仰就是你的心灵当中有一个格位在看着你。」

“Faith is a standpoint within your heart that is watching over you.” trans.

「人人是好人。」

“Everyone is a good person.” trans.

这里不评判你信什么,只谈心在哪里。所用的“三昧”“观心”等词,都是借词,按先生的用法来理解。

Nothing here asks what you believe — only where your heart stands. Words such as “samadhi” are borrowed, and used in his own sense.

  • 何谓“天下第一百姓”0:21 · 抖音「丹蕨先生」· 2023-03-27 ↗

    所谓天下第一百姓啊,不是说我们在百姓里面又占有独占鳌头,而是在各种身份里面我们选择:我们选择我们就是一个百姓,而除此以外呢,什么大师啊、什么教授啊、什么总裁啊,我们什么也不是,我们就是百姓。

    Being “the first of the common people” doesn’t mean standing out among them. Of all the identities on offer, we choose to be one of the common people — not a master, not a professor, not a CEO. Just one of the people.trans.

  • 所以你说我做什么职业的呢?我说我是贩炊烟的。为什么叫贩炊烟呢?就是活在伦常当中,让我们所有的人身边的人都能活出这种人情味,有人意、有温度,给大家有关怀。这就是所谓的贩炊烟者。

    What do I do for a living? I deal in chimney smoke — living inside ordinary human bonds, so that everyone around us can live with warmth, with feeling, with care.trans.

  • “丹蕨”这个名字0:25 · 抖音「丹蕨先生」· 2023-03-27 ↗

    丹蕨是什么?蕨是什么?蕨是一种生活了几亿年的一个植物,很贫贱,但是很有生命力;当它缺水的时候会泛出红色,所以取名丹蕨。这个意思是:不管怎么样的条件,无论是顺利,都能平常对待,好好活着。

    The fern has lived for hundreds of millions of years — humble, but full of life. When it lacks water it turns red: so, “red fern”. Whatever the conditions, take them in stride, and live well.trans.
