無 待

　　無所依賴。出自《莊子·逍遙游》。莊子認(rèn)為，人和事物的存在無法脫離其所處的境遇，因而總會(huì)受到各種外在條件的限制和制約，即有所“待”。但人的心靈能夠超越其所處的現(xiàn)實(shí)境遇，不為外物所束縛、牽累，從而達(dá)到一種自由、無礙的境界。這即是心的“無待”狀態(tài)。

Depend on Nothing

　　The concept first appears in Zhuangzi. According to Zhuangzi, people and things cannot exist independently of their context, and thus are always limited and constrained by various external conditions, that is, they depend on something. But since the human mind is able to transcend the reality of its context and is not bound by external things, it can thus achieve a free and unhindered state. This is the state of the mind having nothing to depend on.

引例

　　若夫乘天地之正，而御六氣之辯，以游無窮者，彼且惡乎待哉?。ā肚f子·逍遙游》）（如果能順應(yīng)天地的法則，駕馭陰陽風(fēng)雨晦明六氣的變化，而悠游于無窮的境域，他還有什么需要依賴的呢！）

　　One will need to rely on nothing if he is able to follow the rules of nature, manage the changes of weather, and enjoy everything freely in the infinite universe.(Zhuangzi)
