三要洞开何用闭

读《阴符经》走笔轻，
Windows surrounded by bamboo, the structure is light and peaceful.
Leisurely borrowing the power of Yin and Yang, I lie down and read.
There is a saying that ultimate advantage comes from a single source,
But reading countless volumes is ultimately a waste of effort.
To maintain clarity and tranquility is easy,
But resisting desire and achieving enlightenment is difficult.
Why bother closing the doors to the cave,
When you can stand on a high platform and appreciate the scenery?

这首诗词是唐代诗人齐己写的，《阴符经》是一本古代道教经典，用来修炼内观的方法。诗中通过窗内的竹子和借助阴符经这两个意象，表达了读书与修炼的关系。诗人认为，有人所得的真正智慧和力量，是源于一个根源，而不是在于读过多少书籍。读万卷书只能是枉然的努力。他认为，修炼清心寡欲的境界相对容易，而要战胜欲望进入真正的圣人之境难度很大。而且，他认为，修炼是不需要封闭自己的，而是应该通过一个高的台阶看到更广阔的风景。这首诗词寓意深刻，既表达了对于书籍的思考和批判，又探讨了修炼和修道的方法和境界。
