竹影摇曳
Swaying Bamboo Shadows
古香古巷，清音袅袅，隐于闹市。到达成都拜访罗心道长的那个下午，恍若从繁华的都市穿越进入另外一个宁 静的天地，古朴自然、别具风格的五斗观驿站隐于闹市中。古人盥手焚香弹琴为最高礼遇，而罗心道长弹奏古琴、轻吟浅唱含蓄的表达了待客之情。在茶香之间，笔者有幸能近距离与罗心道长问道，聆听他的传道之路与宏大理想。
Pleasant melody floats along fragrant andantique alleys. This is the life typical of a recluse seeking his retreat inbusy streets. The afternoon when I arrived in Chengdu for a visit to Taoist priest Luoxin,it seemed as if I had passed through a bustling metropolis to another tranquilworld. The primitive and unique Wudou Temple nestles among thedowntown area. As ancient people regarded it as the greatest courtesy toreceive guests by washing hands, burning incense and playing guqin, Taoistpriest Luoxin implicitly conveyed his hospitality to me, singing in a soft toneaccompanied by playing guqin himself. While sipping the tea, I was lucky enoughto discuss Tao with priest Luoxin at a close range, listening to his preachingexperience and grand ideals.
以武入道 两次转折
Practicing Martial Arts before Becoming a Taoist,with Two Turning Points
罗心道长本名邹慧心，出生于武林世家，自幼随父习武，祖父则是上海精武会的高手。目前，位属中国目前最高段位空手道六段，曾数番东渡日本探索空手道的至高境界，并远赴泰国锤炼泰拳精髓，先后担任成都青羊防暴大队、*藏西**军区、北京警卫部队的武术教官。
Originally called Zou Huixin, Taoist priestLuoxin was born in a family well-known for martial arts over generations, inparticular, his grandfather was a master-hand of Chinwoo Association in Shanghai. He has beenpracticing martial arts since his childhood. Currently, he is a sixth-level Karateplayer, the highest level inChinaso far. He has on several occasions traveled eastward to Japan to explore thesupreme realm for Karate and also covered all the way toThailandtotemper the gist of Thai boxing. He used to serve as martial arts instructor forChengdu Qingyang (District) Antiriot Police Group, Tibet Military Command andBeijing Security Forces.
罗心道长早年全身心投入于武学，打出一片天空，但十几岁时反复诵读的《道德经》却时时萦绕心间。实际上，罗心道长青年时期就展现出极高的道学天赋，在参悟中华民族古老的大智慧间，对中国道教心生向往。罗心道长曾经历人生两大重要转折，而开始潜心修道。
Taoist priest Luoxin had plunged himselfinto martial arts in his early years and achieved some success, but Tao TeChing he repeatedly recited during teenage lingered in his mind from timeto time. In fact, Taoist priest Luoxin had revealed exceptional gift for Taoismin his youth: he began to develop a yearning for Chinese Taoism when perceivingthrough meditation great ancient wisdom of the Chinese nation. Having experiencedtwo major turning points in his life, he started his journey in practicingTaoism.
其中，第一次心灵触动则在97年，罗心道长受邀于四川大学进行演讲，当几百名学生在场内鼓掌，他突然顿悟，拳只能在方寸之间，而精神却可以传播于世。第二次转折来自台湾的国学大师龚鹏程，其与罗心道长一席长谈，歃血为盟。“知我者惜，择我则贵”，罗心道长发自肺腑感慨道，龚鹏程于罗心道长就像一扇门，打开后进入另一片新天地。在龚鹏程的推荐下，罗心道长赴台湾学习风水术数及天师符法，开始弘扬道教之路。
The first time he felt touched was in 1997when he was delivering a speech on invitation in Sichuan University.As hundred of students applauded in the hall, it suddenly occurred to him thatboxing can only affect a small area while spirit can be spread across theworld. The second turning point came when he was engaging in a long talk withGong Pengcheng, a Sinology master fromTaiwan. They pledged each other bymixing blood in the wine. “I would cherish those who understand me, and respectthose who choose me”—it’s the words from the depth of his heart. For him, Gong Pengchengis just like a door, which, once opened, leads him to another new world. Withthe recommendation of Gong Pengcheng, he went toTaiwanto learn geomancy astrologyand Celestial Master’s incantations, and started his career in following andpromoting Taoism.
“隐于叶下，花儿苟延不败”，转折对于罗心道长不是偶然，而是天分使然。历经风雨，终遇知音，因胸怀理想，而必将路行更远。
“Hidden under the foliage, the flowers,though in a feeble state, will not wither for a long time”. For priest Luoxin,the transition didn’t come by chance but by fate. A talent will finally meet hisscout. Cherishing ambitions, he is bound to go even farther.
拜师求道 传承正一派
Becoming a Master’s Disciple to Carry ForwardZhengyi Sect
对中国人而言，其人生哲学的理论来源无非是儒、释、道三家。儒家提倡存心养性，释家提倡明心见性，道家提倡修心炼性，三教无外乎都重在一个心字。而罗心道长花了数十年的时间潜心研究儒、释、道三教经典，最终扎根于道教。
For the Chinese people, their lifephilosophy simply takes Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism as their theoreticalsources. Confucianism advocates preserving one’s conscience and nurturing one’stemperament, Buddhism preaches illuminating one’s conscience to see one’s temperamentand Taoism upholds refining one’s conscience and temperingone’s temperament. The three religions invariably lay their emphasis onconscience. After decades of study on the classics of these three religions, hefinally took his roots in Taoism.
2012年，罗心道长拜于中国道教协会副会长张继禹天师门下，成为道家正一派第六十六代法脉传人。2013年，罗心道长在中国道教祖庭龙虎山授箓，成为真正的正一道士。同年，罗心道长于瓦屋仙山重建“五斗观”，创建“有为道”。从此谨遵“归根复命”、“正己化人”道统，勤修苦练，矢志不懈，为传承、弘扬道家真谛孜孜以求。
In 2012, Taoist priest Luoxin officiallyacknowledged Zhang Jiyu as his master, who is vice president of “Chinese TaoistAssociation” and became the 66th legitimate successor to Zhengyisect of Chinese Taoism. In 2013, Taoist priest Luoxin was awarded the officialdocument in Mount Longhu, ancestral chamberfor Chinese Taoism and became a genuine Taoist of the Zhengyi sect. During thesame year, he rebuilt “Wudou Taoist temple” in Mt. Wawuand founded the “Youwei Tao”. Since then, strictly following the tenet of “returningto the root and seeking mental tranquility” and “rectifying oneself toinfluence others”, he has been unremittingly practicing hard, and diligentlyand tirelessly seeking to inherit and spread true essence of Taoism.
正一道作为中国道教后期两大派之一，前身是产生于汉末的天师道，祖天师张道陵为创建人。传承到现代，天师道最具代表性的人物要数“张道陵第六十五代裔孙张继禹”，为海峡两岸道教界所推崇。作为正一派的第六十六代法脉传人，罗心道长从未放松对道教义理的研究，于2012年远赴台湾中华道教总会学习风水术数，2014年再赴台湾学习天师符法，成为海峡两岸唯 一一个学习天师符法的非天师世家道长。对于罗心道长，张继禹不仅是传授“道教思想”导师，也将追随师父的脚步将道教传扬天下。
As one of the two major sects of ChineseTaoism in the later period, Zhengyi sect is originated from Celestial MasterTao during the late Han dynasty. Ancestral master Zhang Daoling was thefounder. Till now, the most representative figure for the Celestial Master Taomust be “Zhang Jiyu, the 65th grandson of Zhang Daoling”, who is worshipedby Taoists across Taiwan Strait. As the 66th legitimate successor ofZhengyi sect, Taoist priest Luoxin never slackens his efforts in studyingdoctrines of Taoism. In 2012, he traveled to “Chinese Taoist Association” inTaiwanto learn about geomancy and astrology; in2014, he once again went toTaiwanto learn Celestial Masters’ incantations, becoming the only one across theStrait who has learned Celestial Masters’ incantations among Taoist priests ofa non-Celestial Master school. Taoist priest Luoxin not only regards Zhang Jiyuas his instructor for imparting “doctrines of Taoist”, but aims to spreadTaoism all over the world in the footsteps of his master.
立足五斗观 潜心修行
Concentrating on Practicing Taoism with WudouTaoist temple as His Base
在罗心道长的多重身份中，无疑“五斗观主持”占有重要地位。据《道藏》记载，五斗观始建于东汉明帝58-76年间，道教创始人张陵创立五斗米教，修建道观，并在此修练成仙。而五斗观位于洪雅县，依山傍水，雾气缭绕，古士先贤选于此地修道成仙，不无道理。可以说，五斗观经历了两千年的兴衰，成为历史的缩影。
Among many titles of Taoist priest Luoxin, “Priestof Wudou Taoist temple” undoubtedly holds an important place. According torecords in the Taoist Sutra, Wudou Taoist temple was founded around A.D.58-76 during Eastern Han Dynasty. Zhang Ling, founder of Taoism, establishedthe Wudoumi religion, built the Taoist temple and practiced Taoism here, andfinally become an immortal. Located in Hongya County,Wudou Taoist temple is located close to a river at the foot of hills amidcurling mists. It makes sense why ancient sages chose this place to practiceTaoism and become immortals. It may be said that after going through over twothousand years of rise and fall, Wudou Taoist temple has become an epitome ofhistory.
对于罗心道长而言，宣扬道教的第一步，就是立足五斗观。在接管的两年多内，五斗观一直不断在恢复建设，今年八月份也将接受信众入住修行。“只有把根本建设好了，才能够将道教弘扬国内乃至世界”，罗心道长如斯说道。“想要实现的事情太多，但是也只能一步一步去做，只有一步一步走稳了，将来才能把宏愿变为现实。”
For Taoist priest Luoxin, the first thingin promoting Taoism is to keep a foothold in Wudou Taoist temple. During thetwo years following handover/takeover, Wudou Taoist temple has been put under continuousrenovation and reconstruction. This August, it will be open to believers whowould like to settle and practice Taoism here. “Only by completing thefundamental construction, can we move on and promote Taoism at home and evenabroad”, said Taoist priest Luoxin, “there are too many things to accomplish,but we can only do them one by one. Only when we have firmly taken each stepcan we turn our grand visions into reality one day”.
不仅如此，罗心道长每年都会进山修行四十九天，最久半年或一年。在山中修行时，罗心道长清晨练太阳神针，闲余修炼拳法;夜晚打坐凝神，对月弹琴。万物皆有灵性，闭关时罗心道长与动物对话，感悟道教哲理。回归自然，日出而作，日落而息;粗茶淡饭，与世隔绝，潜心修行。每次出关，对于罗心道长来讲，都是一种精神升华，乃至能量倍增。
Furthermore, each year, Taoist priestLuoxin would go deep into maintains to practice Taoism for ninety days, or halfa year, or even a whole year. When practicing Taoism in the mountains, he wouldpractice “Sacred Solar Needle” in the morning, and practice boxing in his sparetime; at nights, he would sit in meditation or play guqin under the moonlight.All creatures have their spirits. While shutting himself off, Taoist priestLuoxin likes to “communicate” with animals to better appreciate Taoistphilosophy. He would return to Mother Nature, getting up at sunrise and havinga rest at sunset; he would take simple foods, seclude himself from the outerworld and concentrate on practicing Taoism. Each time he returns from hisseclusion, he would experience a spiritual enhancement and even energymultiplication.
道在身边 大道至简
Tao Is beside us; the Greatest Truths Arethe Simplest
鲁迅先生说过，“中国的根柢全在道教”，此语大有深意。道教文化博大精深，玄妙无穷。作为洪雅县五斗观的主持，罗心道长认为道教有三个境界，有为、无为、无所而不为。
As Lu Xun once put it, “China’sfundamentals all lie in Taoism”. Such saying has its deep implications. TheTaoist culture is vast, profound and tremendously abstruse. As the priest of WudouTaoist temple in Hongya County, Taoist priestLuoxin believes that Taoism has three realms: Youwei(doing something), Wuwei (doing nothing), and Weisuoerbuwei (Nothing is left undone).
道教作为传统宗教、中国的本土宗教，近年日益被“妖魔化”，而因宣传力度不够，也让道教蒙上“神秘感”。罗心道长一直在追求落地道教、生活道教，他眼中的道教不是故弄玄虚，坐于高堂，闭关守旧，而是要“走出来”，与时俱进。并且在中国道教协会副会长张继禹天师的基础上，他提出的“有为道”分为有为、无为、无所而不为三个层次。
As a traditional and indigenous religion inChina,Taoism is increasingly “demonized” over the recent years. Due to inadequatepublicity, Taoism is also shrouded in an envelope of “mystery”. Taoist priestLuoxin has always been seeking to make Taoism more acceptable to ordinarypeople in their daily lives. In his eyes, Taoism is not to deliberately mystifyothers by sitting high up in the chamber and clinging stubbornly to oldbeliefs, but to keep pace with times and “go to the public”. Moreover, on thebasis of Celestial Master Zhang Jiyu, vice president of “Chinese TaoismAssociation”, Taoist priest Luoxin brings up with “Youwei Tao” and divides it intothree levels: Youwei (doing something),Wuwei (doing nothing), and Weisuoerbuwei (Nothing is left undone).
现代人多数物欲横流、利益蒙心，而忘记了什么是道。罗心道长认为道就像空气，在每个人呼吸之间，而当人们窒息的时候才知道空气的重要。从古至今，佛家讲的是“和气”，儒家讲“和谐”，而道家讲“合一”，天人合一也是道家的最高境界。南怀瑾也曾这样形象的比喻过这三者“佛家是杂货铺，儒家是粮食店，道家是药店”。
Most modern people have their minds muffledby interests in an age of extravagance and waste and forget what Tao on earthis about. Taoist priest Luoxin thinks that Tao is like air, existing amongeveryone’s breaths. People won’t realize the importance of air till they aresuffocating. Through all ages, Buddhism preaches about “kindness”, Confucianismabout “harmony”, and Taoism advocates “oneness”. “Nature and Man in One” is thehighest realm pursued by Taoism. MasterNan Huai-Chin once gave an apt metaphor: “Buddhism is a grocery store,Confucianism a grain store, while Taoism is a pharmacy”.
与茶道相结合，罗心道长也悟出了“放下之道”。中国的茶字第一口为尝，第二口称回，第三口是品茶，喝完了放下。人之所以有那么多烦恼，正是因为放不下。在快节奏的现代生活中，静心成为都市人所追求的最简单也最复杂的生活目标。人要简单的活着，而不是复杂化，这也是罗心道长想传达老子的核心“大道至简”。
In combination of teaism, Taoist priestLuoxin has also perceived the “way of putting down”. According to Chinese teaceremony, the first sip is to taste, the second is to recollect the taste, andthe third is to savor the tea. Once finished, you should put the cup down. Oneis so prone to get annoyed because he cannot leave these concerns behind. Infast-paced modern life, meditation is the simplest yet most complicated lifegoal sought after by urbanites. One has to live a simple life, rather than acomplicated one. This is also what Taoist priest Luoxin wishes to convey, thecore idea of Laozi--“The greatest truths are thesimplest”.
走遍皇帝陵 探索风水之道
Visiting All Imperial Mausoleums, ExploringMyth of Geomancy
作为中国土生土长的宗教，道教与风水关系十分密切，因为二者有共同的生成背景与思想基础，《易经》更是它们之间强有力的纽带，尤其道教的斋醮、祝咒、符镇同时流行于风水中。所谓道教风水学，就是审慎周密的考察，了解自然环境改造自然，赢得最佳的天时地利与人和，达到道教所追求的天人合一的至善境界。
As an indigenous religion inChina, Taoismis closely associated with geomancy. This is because they share the samegenerating background and ideological foundation. The Book of Changes isa powerful bond between them. In particular, Taoist rites, incantations andspells are all prevalent in geomancy. Geomancy in Taoism refers to the theoryabout understanding natural environments and transforming nature based oncautious investigations, and winning optimum state in which climatic,geographic and humanity conditions achieve harmony, so as to reach a state of “Natureand Man in One”, the supreme realm sought after by Taoism.
罗心道长曾远赴台湾，学习天师符与风水学;也曾走遍中国皇帝陵，辽看天下风水。良禽择木而栖，猛兽择穴而居，高人择地而置，罗心道长表示人类风水不是迷信，是科学之举。在看遍天下皇帝陵风水时，他放下罗盘，远看方位，近看土质。得出感悟“祖先陵寝的风水对于后*祸人**福存在联系，故而讲究要择地而葬，风水对人或一个家族的富贵贫贱有着密切关系。”
Taoist priest Luoxin has not only traveleda long distance toTaiwantolearn about Celestial Masters’ incantations and geomancy; but also visited almostall imperial mausoleums inChinato understand geomancy in different regions ofChina. Just as a fine bird or beastchooses its own nest or lair, a talented man will choose a proper place tosettle. Taoist priest Luoxin claims that geomancy is not an act of superstitionbut an act of science. When studying the geomancy of imperial mausoleums, he wouldput down encompass, survey everything from orientation to soil texture. Thus hegains a perception that “geomancy of ancestral tombs is related to the weal andwoe of later generations. Therefore, particular attention must be paid toselection of burial place. Geomancy has close associations with social statusor wealth of a person or a family.”
然而，网络、书刊所报道的风水学太多，罗心道长以独特的视野诠释了另一种风水概念。独阴不长，独阳不生，人就是阴阳，一阴一阳方为人，男人为阳，女人为阴，成立了家庭。罗心道长看风水先看太太，后看先生，有“福报”之人才可享一流风水之地，民间有语云“福人居福地”即是此意。看一个建筑的风水则要根据所处环境而分析，而不是随意下妄言。道教最高的境界是大道无形，真正的高手是*界无**之界，所以罗心道长这么多年一直潜心专研风水学，永不止步。
However, the internet, books andperiodicals have too many reports on geomancy. Taoist priest Luoxin givesanother interpretation to the concept of geomancy from his distinctiveperspective: Nothing can be grown with pure yang and nothing can be born frompure yin; a human being is a combination of yin and yang, with the man beingyang and the woman being yin; hence there are families. When surveyinggeomancy, Taoist priest Luoxin will first observe the wife and then thehusband. Only people with “blessings” can enjoy a place of first-classgeomancy. That’s exactly the meaning of the folk saying, “blessed people willdwell in blessed places”. To survey the geomancy of a building, one has toanalyze based on its surroundings, rather than making any judgment at liberty.The highest realm in Taoism is that the greatest way is beyond perception. Areal master-hand seeks transcending all boundaries. Therefore, Taoist priestLuoxin has been concentrating on the science of geomancy and he will neverstop.
道行天下 传遍世界
The Right Way Prevails, Spreading Taoism All overthe World
读万卷书不如行万里路，同样若将道教文化、精髓传播于世，也要道行天下。罗心道长不仅希望能在中国宣扬道教，也希望五斗观能走出国门。然而，这条路任重道远，困难重重。但是，五斗观道教对外传播已走在路上，目前在墨尔本已经成立了有为道国际慈善基金会，下步将在墨尔本建造五斗观。
Reading ten thousand volumes of books isnot as good as traveling ten thousand li. Likewise, to spread Taoist cultureand its essence to the world, only the right way can prevail. Taoist priestLuoxin wishes not only to preach Taoism inChina,but to promote Wudou Taoist temple beyondChina. It is a long and arduousjourney that involves many difficulties. However, the Taoism embraced by WudouTaoist temple is already on its way to reach overseas. At present, YouweiTaoism International Charity Foundation has been set up in Melbourne, and at the next step, a WudouTaoist temple will be built there.
罗心道长希望“有志学道”的西方人通过五斗观来了解中国道教文化，另外还可以宣扬养生、医术、拳法、古琴等多方面中国文化。“道教是普天下的道教，可以将道教的文化、精髓传播于世，与全世界分享”，罗心道长满怀憧憬的说。
Taoist priest Luoxin hopes that westernerswho “are bent on Taoism” will be able to learn about Chinese Taoist culturethrough Wudou Taoist temple. Besides, they can also learn about Chinese culturefrom regimen, medical skill, boxing, guqin and some other aspects. “Taoismbelongs to the whole world and the Taoist culture and its essence can be spreadto and shared with the world”, said Taoist priest Luoxin with a great longing.
“我是困难的终结者”，罗心道长在对话的时候这样形容自己。回顾这几十年所走过的风雨坎坷，罗心道长从未退却过。世界那么大，道行天下不仅仅是一句话，而是逐步脚踏实地去实现，将道传遍于世。借用王安石的诗，知世无梦无所求，无所求心普空寂;还似梦中随梦境，成就河沙梦功德。罗心道长喜欢最后一句，他励志成就河沙梦功德，将道教传遍全世界，实现自己的理想。
“I am a terminator of difficulties”, Taoistpriest Luoxin describes himself in such words when chatting with me. The trialsand hardships over the past decades have never scared him away. The world is sohuge, and “the right way prevails” is not an empty talk, but requiresdown-to-earth fulfillment in phases and spreading Taoism all over the world. Toborrow a poem from Wang Anshi, “knowing that world affairs are but a dream Ithus seek nothing, with nothing to seek, my mind is all empty; when striving mybest to make achievement, only to find that all my fulfillment is but a dream”.Taoist priest Luoxin likes the last line best. He is bent on trying his best tomake achievement, spreading Taoism all over the world, and realizing his ownideals.
“道行天下，无所畏惧。生命不息，道传不止。”最后，罗心道长用这句话总结自己。
“When the right way prevails, there isnothing to be feared. Life is endless and Taoism will be carried on forever.”Finally, Taoist priest Luoxin summarizes himself with this remark.
结语
Conclusion
6月15日，罗心道长又开始一年一度的闭关修行。在五斗观的练武场上，那套贯穿吐纳与力道的罗心养生十二式拳法，仍让人记忆犹新。不同于印象中道士古板的形象，罗心道长与现代人同走在时代尖端，他坚信着自己理想，特立独行的在尘世行走，将道教传遍世界。道曰：我命在我不在天，回味罗心道长吟唱的《活在当下》，感悟“把当下活好，就是人生最高境界”这句话。
On June 15th, Taoist priest Luoxin will begin his annual practice againin a retreat. On the martial arts practicing field in Wudou Taoist temple,Luoxin Regimen Twelve-Step Boxing that integrates expiration, inspiration andstrength remains fresh in people’s memory. Unlike other stereotyped Taoists inour impression, Taoist priest Luoxin walks on the forefront of the times withother modern people. He firmly believes in his ideals, and travels in theearthly world, with his noteworthy conduct and independent character, endeavoringto spread Taoism all across the world. As a sage says, “My life is decided bymyself instead of the heaven”. Thinking over the song Living in the Presentby chanted Taoist priest Luoxin, I can better appreciate the line that “Livinga good present life is exactly the highest realm in one’s life”.
