The stability of the world, society and family depends on everyone's mentality. If one always thinks of others, family and society will be happy. If a child can put himself in others' shoes from an early age, then he will cultivate his own happiness from an early age. Because of this intention, he knows that reading is aimed at sages, and he wants to dedicate his moral knowledge to this society. As soon as he enters the society and benefits, his blessings will get bigger and bigger, and he can enjoy his old age before he gets his old age.
A child receives sage education from an early age and carries out sage education. His life has been valuable since childhood. Reading sage books from childhood will benefit the society when you grow up, and your wisdom will increase day by day. The older he is, the more valuable he is. Many younger generations can get a lot of life enlightenment by getting close to him, reducing unnecessary exploration, and his life will be valuable until he is old. Although Kong passed away, his spirit lives on forever, setting an example for future generations. Therefore, when a child is taught by sages, he knows to run his life with sincerity and love, believing that his life will be immortal.
When we want to cultivate a person's kindness, where should we start? Let's explore its roots carefully. Can a person be filial to others if he is not filial to his parents? In the Book of Filial Piety, it is said that "it is immoral to love one's relatives", and it is immoral to love one's parents.
The greatest kindness to us is our parents' hard work in pregnancy, childbirth, parenting and education. So filial piety is very important for a person. If a person does not learn filial piety, then his kind and moral attitude towards life cannot be formed. When a child's kindness and morality are not long-lasting, they will be long-lasting. As the saying goes, "learning is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat." If he likes it, he will try his best to fight for it. If you don't like it, you will turn your face and deny people, and your interests will change rapidly. Today there is no interest, brothers can live in harmony, tomorrow because of their parents' property, they may immediately turn against each other.
The divorce rate is rising because marriage has also become a disadvantage. The rising divorce rate will directly affect the education of the next generation, and will also drive the crime rate to rise. Today's marriage is not good, and the root cause lies in not learning filial piety since childhood. "Filial piety is also the foundation of benevolence." We must start with "filial piety".
Disciples Rules is rooted in filial piety. Before you start studying, you should first establish a correct learning attitude. "Learn from sages, and the world will be peaceful", "Create peace" is the result, and "Learn from sages" is the reason. By learning the wisdom of the sages, you can let yourself have good ideas and thoughts. Open the fruits of world peace.
In addition to determination, we should also "learn something, practice something", and we must make sentences when learning a lesson. Only in this way can our moral knowledge be improved. What is Tao? A truly moral person is a moral person only if he can do it first.
Feeling: "It is immoral to love others but not your own relatives". It is immoral for one person's parents to say love to another person without filial piety. Yes, if you can't even do the most basic virtue of human nature, how can you do anything else? I have been in contact with Disciples Rules for some time. I feel that I haven't done well enough even the most basic "crown must be straight, knot must be tied, socks and shoes must be important". You haven't practiced what you have learned, and it's no use learning more. Learn from a person's mistakes, and then focus on practicing your feelings.
