Some concepts from the middle harmony classic

古云:常灭动心,不灭照心。一切不动之心,皆照心也。一切不止之心,皆妄心也。照心即道心也,妄心即人心也。

the ancients said “long extinguish the mind of movement, don’t extinguish illuminating the mind.” All of the mind not in movement is the illuminated mind, all of the mind which is not controlled is the irrational mind. The illuminated mind is the mind of the Dao, the irrational mind is the mind of humanity. – Li Daochun
