刘宗周《人谱》的改过思想及工夫论 = The idea of reform cultivation in Liu Zongzhou’s "Renpu" by 林彦慧 Lim, Dorothea Yan Hui

“…Together with how Neo-Confucianism spoke of a heart that contain both all-good (至善) and heavenly principle (天理), Zongzhou viewed reform as a continuous practice that has to be done in one’s heart. Besides restraining thoughts (克念) and conserving one’s heart (存心) in one’s inner heart, one also has to absorb outer experiences consistently, and internalise these experiences into one’s inner heart. …”
