On Ontological Meditation and Ontological Feeling—An Interpretation of Ontological Feeling in Confucian Philosophy

In Chinese philosophy,the word "ontological feeling/Gan-Tong" was used to express the interaction and its presence of beings,such as human,things,metaphysical beings and phenomenon. The theory of ontological feeling was run through the main line of Confucianism Philosophy. The mind-nature theory of Confucianism revealed the significance of ontological feeling which was regarded as the mechanisms of ontological mind which was used to manifest itself. Meanwhile,With this thought,it was covered the ultimate foundation function of ontological feeling,and we should regard mind as manifest of ontological feeling,but not its foundation. Thus,we put forward that ontological feeling foundation for mind. Life is ontological feeling which give the possibility of person meeting in-the-world in which give birth to human mind. However,sometime we feel "Oblivious of Me" and sometime we feel "subject-object dichotomy" in our life. In the scene of subject-object dichotomy,human feel obstruction and want to relieve it,and its most likely possibility is pass obstruction and possess something,namely is,human and things presence in authentic. In a sense,ontological feeling has essential relevance with perfect penetration without obstruction,the latter is the possibility of the former,and the former is the specific course of the latter. Human mind always accompany with obstruction,and mind is not only sickness but also medicine of itself. Thus,go through by Transform of Meditation with non-restraint,self-state and Oblivious of Me can be in mutual identity,everything is perfect penetration without obstruction. Going further,every mind has its source of ontological humaneness,and every mind is no obstruction in mutual identity with non-restraint. Furthermore,every thought-moment is no obstruction in mutual identity,by which we understand that everything is in-the-ontological feeling which lay a foundation for the positive attitude of person in ontological meditation. The ontological feeling of Life is never ending,every thought-moment can be the occasion of Transform of Meditation,and realize the perfect penetration without obstruction in the specific course of ontological feeling.
