For nearly two hours, Chen Yan referenced a wide range of sources and spoke about Liezi's theories—this was also content he had carefully selected.
As a representative figure of Taoism, Liezi's content, like "maintaining a tranquil mind and forgetting both the self and external things," is actually well-suited for these Zen Meditation Class attendees for mind cultivation.
Liezi's works also contain many fables, such as "The Foolish Old Man Moves a Mountain" and "Kua Fu Chases the Sun," which are simple yet profound and can be used to liven up the atmosphere occasionally.
After two hours, although the students may not have been truly convinced, they at least listened to the entire lecture quietly and attentively.
The key was a statement Chen Yan made: "If all you care about is worldly wealth and status, why are you here for Zen cultivation?"
This left everyone in a bind.
