莊子哲學不是理論的思維哲學，而是實用的生活哲學，是經由經照人生，思考存在本質，歸納出的性命對應。莊子提出的生命境界，不是高縣太空的彩虹，而是可透過修為覆踐的風。修為有進程，本文試圖由《莊子》篇章中，找尋層層引向高處的路轍。如果修為者由生到死，是「純淨─習染─剝除－復淨」的過程，「剝除」的過程就是「無」掉曾經的「習染」。「習染」的具體內容是求用的價值觀、擁有的心態、知識智慧的牽累、形體存在的執著、物我人己的差別觀。「無掉」還是刻意的擦拭，「忘」才是不自覺的剝落。因此本文以「忘」為莊子生命修為的基本功，以「忘用」、「忘得」、「忘知」、「忘形」、「忘己」為修為的進境，提出達到藝術人生的進路。

　　　　　The philosophy of Juang-Tsz is not a theoretical contemplative philosophy; it is a practical philosophy for living. By reflecting on human life, meditating on the essence of being human, Juang-Tsz concluded his response to life. The state of life, Juang-Tsz claimed, is not the lofty heights of rainbows hanging in the sky, but the beautiful scenery that one can picture through learning and practice. Learning and practice has a gradual process and its many phases which lead to essential purity. People who have the will to change their life (Juang-Tsz called them the "Learners") will experience the four phases: purity, acquisition, purging, re-purification. "Purging" is the process which "erases" that which has been gained and learned (the "acquisition"). "Acquisition" means "one's values in practice, the attitude in general, the weight of knowledge, the addiction to existing forms, and the uneven judgment of oneself and others," "to purge" is a conscious act of cleansing; on the contrary, "to forget" is an unconscious purging. This article considers that according to Juang-Tsz's philosophy "forgetting" is the fundamental principle to practice in life, and takes "forgetting to use, forgetting to gain, forgetting to know, forgetting all the forms, and forgetting yourself" as the several gradual phases in process of "Learning", this is the way to achieve or enter life as an art form.
