我認識不少熱愛登山的人，他們之所以爬山，並不只是為了鍛鍊體能，更是一場心性的修行。

從他們身上，我學會分辨，有些人善用動機成就自己，有些人則被習性牽引而不自知。

年輕時，我曾和幾位好友組織棒球隊。我們常約在凌晨比賽，天未亮就得起床，根本沒有賴床的空間，除了不容缺席的承諾，還有難以言喻的樂趣在其中。

登山的樂趣，在於大量流汗後多巴胺的湧現，有一種身心舒暢的快感。但更深層的，是一種內在心理素質：對大自然懷抱敬畏之心。

有些人敬重自然，也有人輕視自然。後者即使喜歡運動，卻不會愛上登山，因為他們的內心缺乏那份謙卑的敬畏。

一旦少了敬畏之心，人就容易驕傲、不知珍惜，忘記自身的渺小，反而把自己放得過大，彷彿凌駕萬物之上。

 

長年觀察人性，我發現，說的從來不算數，做的才見真章。

有些人身居高尚職業，內在軟弱無比。為什麼？因為他們目中無人，違逆了生命本該謙遜的秩序。

正是這些特殊個案，引導我深入養生的核心，認清：一旦遠離敬畏，就會偏離生命的正軌。

有些人利用他人的善良，踐踏他人的謙卑，雖是極端個例，卻讓我領悟遠離病痛的終極心法，其實潛藏在這些細微的心理因子中。

那時的我，在傲慢與警醒之間遊走，經年累月的觀察、記錄，最終由敬畏所開啟的心靈境界，才讓我得以深刻領悟。

嚴格來說，缺乏敬畏心，是環境教育的缺失，是對自然法則教育的忽略，這樣的缺失，養成了傲慢，忽視了謙卑。

 

走入森林，用心感受林中的氣場；踏上山徑，靜靜感應宇宙的浩瀚。你會發現，敬畏油然而生，而大自然的豐饒，也讓人感受到慷慨的心境。

我逐漸領悟：養生不僅需要善良與謙卑，還需要一種深層的德性：慷慨。

從慷慨的反面，你會看到人性中的「計較」。豐盛的心法培養的是無私與給予，而匱乏的心法養成的是對價與交換的思維。

病痛，往往與這些心性有關，你可以從「不求回報的付出」對照「凡事講求代價的計較」，看出端倪。慷慨不是富有的表現，而是一種悲憫的本性。

古人說「守財奴」，字裡行間藏著智慧。成為金錢的奴隸也許還是小事，但若成了疾病的附庸，那就是真正的悲哀。

 

這些年，病痛彷彿成了上天安排給我的人生劇本。我見過太多怨懟的眼神，聽過無數抱怨的話語，而這些人，身體幾乎都有不同程度的異常，它們，不約而同來自於負面心性。

什麼是負面？是抱怨？是憤怒？是怨恨？是計較？是傲慢？都是，而其中最不易察覺的，正是不敬畏與不慷慨。

我見過許多人本擁有與生俱來的福報，卻因一時傲慢與之失之交臂；也見過有人白手起家，最終卻敗在忘記謙卑與慷慨上。

生命的基本考題從未改變：修德養性，回歸本心。

養生，也是一場關於德行與心性的考驗。身體的病變，不過是沒通過這場考試的結果。

當我仰望繁星，深深感知自己的渺小，真正了悟：一切的病痛與轉化，皆是生命安排的呈現。

 

（兩種現象令我敬畏，一是滿佈繁星的天空，另一是我內心的道德法則。）

 

The Ultimate Principle for Staying Free from Illness

I know quite a few people who are passionate about mountain climbing. For them, it’s not just a form of physical exercise—it is a cultivation of the mind and spirit.
From their lives, I’ve learned to distinguish: some people harness their motivations to grow, while others are unknowingly driven by their ingrained habits.

When I was young, a few friends and I started a baseball team. We often scheduled games at dawn, which meant getting up before sunrise. There was no room for sleeping in. Beyond the commitment of showing up, there was also a joy that words could hardly describe.

The joy of climbing lies in the rush of dopamine after intense sweating, in the pleasure of feeling physically and mentally refreshed. But deeper still is a kind of psychological quality: a sense of reverence for nature.

Some people hold nature in deep respect; others take it lightly. The latter may enjoy sports, but they rarely fall in love with mountain climbing, because their hearts lack that humble reverence.
When reverence is missing, pride takes its place. Gratitude fades. One forgets their own smallness and begins to magnify the self, as if towering above all things.

What We Do Speaks Louder Than What We Say

After years of observing human nature, I’ve come to realize that what people say means little—what they actually do reveals everything.
Some people may hold respectable professions, yet inside, they are extremely fragile. Why? Because they are arrogant, dismissive of others, and in doing so, defy the humble order that life intended.

It was precisely through such extreme cases that I was led into the deeper layers of health and wellness, to recognize that when reverence is lost, one strays from the natural course of life.
Some people exploit the kindness of others, trample on humility. While these may be rare exceptions, they helped me grasp the ultimate principle for staying free from illness—hidden within these subtle psychological patterns.

At the time, I found myself navigating between pride and awakening. Years of observation and reflection eventually led me to a state of insight born from reverence.

Strictly speaking, a lack of reverence stems from a failure in environmental education, a neglect of teaching natural laws. This absence breeds arrogance and erodes humility.

The Forest as Teacher: Receiving Reverence and Generosity

Walk into a forest and feel its energy with presence. Hike deeper into the mountains and quietly sense the vastness of the cosmos. In those moments, reverence arises naturally. And along with it, the abundant generosity of nature flows into the heart.

Gradually, I came to understand: to cultivate health is not just about being kind or humble—it also requires a deeper virtue: generosity.

On the opposite side of generosity lies a calculating mind. A mindset of abundance nurtures selflessness and the willingness to give. A mindset of lack nurtures the need for exchange and equivalence.

Illness is often tied to these inner patterns. Compare the spirit of giving without seeking return, to the transactional mindset that demands fair trade in all things, and you will begin to see the clues.
Generosity is not a byproduct of wealth, but a reflection of one’s compassionate nature.

The ancients called it “miserliness” with purpose—there is wisdom in that term. Becoming a slave to money is a minor tragedy; becoming a servant to disease is far more devastating.

The Hidden Roots of Illness: A Spiritual Perspective

In recent years, illness seems to have been written into the script of my life by the heavens. I have seen too many bitter gazes, heard too many voices of complaint. And those who harbor such thoughts almost always suffer physical symptoms to varying degrees.
These symptoms, more often than not, originate from negative emotional states.

What is negativity? Is it complaining? Anger? Resentment? Pettiness? Pride?

Yes—all of these. But the most easily overlooked forms of negativity are a lack of reverence and a lack of generosity.

I’ve witnessed people born with great blessings, yet miss them entirely through fleeting arrogance. I’ve seen others build their fortune from nothing, only to be defeated by forgetting humility and the grace of giving.

The fundamental tests of life have never changed: they test our character, cultivate our heart.
So it is with health—the body’s disorder is merely a reflection of a failed lesson.

When I gaze up at the stars and feel my own smallness, I come to understand this truth deeply:
All pain, and all healing, are expressions of life’s divine arrangement.
