【我眼中的中国:从《道德经》到清华园 巴西学子的“寻道”之旅】来自巴西的学子张奉展(Gabriel Valdetaro),八年前在里约热内卢第一次读到《道德经》时,便对老子与道家哲学深深着迷。如今,他在清华园里打拳,很多人问他为什么来中国,他的回答是:“我来中国是寻找我的‘道’”。武术是张奉展寻道的第一条路,它背后藏着“天人合一”的东方智慧。他的中文姓来自武术流派“张三门”,“奉展”二字则是师父所赐,寓意“奉献与展开”。他说师父希望他在这片土地上展开人生,找到自己的“道”。在视频中,他来到白云观,在文昌殿许愿博士学位顺利。他坦言,这不是求神保佑,而是对自己的承诺。从巴西到北京,这位洋弟子正用行动践行着属于他自己的修行之路。When Gabriel first read the Tao Te Ching he was still in his native Brazil. Eight years later, Gabriel Valdetaro of Rio de Janeiro has become Zhang Fengzhan of Beijing, a disciple of martial arts at the city's famed Tsinghua campus. "I came to China to seek my 'Tao,'" he tells those who ask. Martial arts is his first step on the lifelong quest for the 'Tao,' within which is distilled the Chinese wisdom of harmony between nature and humanity. His Chinese surname, Zhang, comes from his martial arts style, Zhang San Men. Fengzhan, which means dedication and unfolding, was given to him by his master, who hopes that a new life will unfold for his student in China, where he can find his own "Tao." Making his devotions at the Bai Yun Temple's Wen Chang Hall for his PhD, he tells CGTN Stringer, "It's not about praying for divine protection." It's about a commitment to applying the martial arts principles of mind-body harmony and effortless action to daily life.
