Yi, concepts from the daoist and budhist perspectivesICE Workshop
The document discusses the concept of "yi" in Chinese philosophy and medicine. Yi refers to intention, mind, or spirit. It discusses how yi is connected to qi, jing, shen and the body. Yi is seen as an intelligence that manifests through action. In Chinese medicine, yi is important for doctors and acupuncture. Developing yi allows one to correctly feel and guide qi through the body. Martial arts like Tai Chi also emphasize connecting movement to yi and listening with one's whole body rather than just senses.

Su Dongpo and Fo Yin were good friends who enjoyed teasing each other. One day, while meditating together, Fo Yin praised Su Dongpo for looking like a noble buddha. When Su Dongpo asked how he looked, Fo Yin simply smiled without responding after Su Dongpo said he looked like cow dung. Later, Su Dongpo's sister pointed out that while Fo Yin saw with a buddha's heart, Su Dongpo saw with the heart of dung, showing his perspective was inferior.
