Famous teachers, rare.
In the circle of friends, I saw someone seeking to learn from the teacher, but he had to test the teacher first, and the teacher was very angry and criticized this person for being insincere in his studies and not meeting the good fortune of a good teacher.
I happened to be reading the part of the opening chapter of the "Altar Sutra" where the six ancestors asked the five ancestors for the Dharma, so I began to think about the attitude of apprenticeship.
It is normal for people to have thoughts and doubts when choosing a teacher, but this kind of doubt should not be put in front of the teacher.
If you don't agree with this way, why bother askingIf you agree with this, why be skeptical.
Asking more about this sentence is nothing more than suspicion and teasing, and some are just malicious intentions that are clearly placed in front of the teacher.
This is not only disrespectful to the teacher, even ordinary people should not be offended in this way, which can see a person's character.
Choosing a teacher is your own homework, and it should not be a problem for teachers.
In addition to the theories in the books, Xi also need the guidance of teachers, such as metaphysics, which in addition to theories, also needs to teach personal experience and establish a knack for life.
Hexagrams are not lightly calculated, and they are easy not to be vacated, which is the basic principle of metaphysics. How ridiculous it is to test the teacher before the entry, since you are not in the beginning, how can you understand the truth of the teacher, and if you can already understand it, why bother to apprentice.
Famous teachers are rare, and I personally believe that teachers must be famous for their knowledge, so that those who study have gains, are honest and respectful, and then become famous.
But now on the Internet, as long as you are willing to spend money, fame can run much faster than the truth, and the famous money will naturally come, and no one cares whether the name matches the truth, and there are many people who are not worthy of the name. However, those who devote themselves to academic work are drowned in the tide of the Internet, like gold sinking at the bottom of the river.
Apprentices need to distinguish whether they worship "teacher" or "name", and don't lose the way they originally wanted to go because of the online promotion of so-and-so's personal biography ** and so-and-so master.
Famous teachers are rare to meet, and they seek the law with a broken arm, and what Cheng Men Lixue is seeking is the academic "law" at that time, but if the teacher's own level is elusive, why force people to follow Hui Ke, Yang Shi.
"Famous teachers and apprentices" is also a rare fate. "Teacher" may not be famous, but as long as he is a teacher, he is worthy of respect. The teacher is not related to us by blood, but he is indeed an indispensable guide in life.
I hope that you and I will meet a famous teacher one day on the way to study
