The requirements of this gentleman are as follows:
A gentleman's meticulous planning must be meaningful: the ancients said: a gentleman loves money and takes it properly; A virtuous woman loves color and accepts it politely. A gentleman cherishes his reputation and controls his desires.
I won't covet things that don't belong to me, I won't seduce them with a foolish attitude, and I won't covet personal interests and take advantage of them. If a gentleman wants to do something, it must be for the country, for the society, for justice, for the people and for the interests of all beings.
A gentleman's behavior must be correct: if he is a gentleman, his words and deeds will not be casual, and he will think twice before doing anything: will such behavior hurt others? Will this be bad for others? Think it over before he takes action. Therefore, a gentleman's behavior must conform to the right path. In addition, Buddhism says that the words and deeds of practitioners must conform to the Eight Righteousnesses.
The so-called eight meanings mean telling the truth, standing at attention, saying the right thing, doing the right thing, being straight and being a man. If we can take the eight meanings as the principle, there will be no mistakes.
