"The way of the university is in Mingmingde, in being close to the people, and in stopping at perfection. Knowing and then there is certainty, and then there is stability, and then it can be quiet, and then it can be peaceful, and then it can be considered, and then it can be obtained. Things have a beginning and an end, and knowing the order is the shortest way. ”
* The learning lies in understanding morality and righteousness, in promoting the moral character of fairness and righteousness, in abandoning evil and following good, so that people can know the most perfect moral realm of life. Only when you know that you should stop in moderation can you be stable in your heart, and only when you have lofty and firm ambitions can you be calm and calm, and only when you are calm and calm can you not be confused by desires and consider carefully; Think carefully to make a difference. ”
Be ambitious, calm-minded, and thoughtful in order not to be impetuous; Only when you are calm and not impatient can you see it as if your heart is at peace; Only with a quiet mind can great wisdom arise; Only with great wisdom can great wishes be fulfilled in the end. Everything has a root and a branch, and everything has a beginning and an end. We don't need to cling to the truth, we are close to the law of the operation of the road of enlightenment and the law of the development of things. ”
The so-called self-cultivation is in the right heart, and the body has resentment (zhi), then it is not right; If there is fear, there is no right; If you have fun, you can't do it; If there is a problem, it will not be corrected. ”
The sages have taught since ancient times the principles of self-cultivation, family harmony, governing the country, and leveling the world, the beginning of everything lies in righteousness and mindfulness! ”
Joy, anger, sorrow and joy have not yet occurred, which is said to be in the middle; It is said to be the sum of the middle sections. Those who are in the middle are also the great capital of the world; Those who are harmonious are also the way of the world. To neutralize, heaven is in the ascendancy, and all things are nurtured. This clearly tells us that in the process of life, we should try our best to restrain our emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow and happiness in the face of any situation, do a good job in managing our emotions, and do not take things as happy or sad as ourselves, which is in line with the righteous way of life, which is not extreme or extreme; Even if you don't pay attention to the fluctuations of emotions, you should make the fluctuations as weak and soft as possible, like a little ripple on the surface of a small lake, rather than the waves of the sea, that is, even if you show it, you must restrain yourself and make it conform to the natural common sense of social order, ethics and morality, national laws and regulations, and the law of balance between heaven and earth. ”
This is to ask oneself to behave in the world without being frightened, fearless, or sad, which is to stabilize one's own peace. This kind of neutrality and peace is the way to protect the root of life before it withers too early, and to understand the supreme way. If you are committed to the path of righteousness and peace, then all living beings between heaven and earth will perform their own responsibilities and keep their positions, and operate without disobedience; All kinds of living beings grow and develop healthily according to their pure nature. ”
There are many things that must be done in this world, but we should always let go and keep our hearts calm and free from suffering. All those self-inflicted troubles come from a distorted mind, which reminds us that only by dissolving the self can we be liberated, free from the suffering and troubles caused by the cycle of cause and effect, which is mindfulness. ”
Those who are good at building do not pull out, and those who are good at hugging do not take off! ”
One true truth, one righteous heart, upholding the right deeds, righteous thoughts, the right path, and the right Dharma are what we must firmly grasp. ”
To promote the Fa-rectification is to make sentient beings understand that life is impermanent, that there is more suffering and less happiness, and that the body does not represent [me] and [what I have], [I can control]. ”
We need to be enlightened and practice the holy path, right view, right thinking, right speech, right karma, right life, right diligence, right thoughts, right concentration. These paths are essentially the right path to happiness. ”
We should pursue the true meaning of life, learn the wisdom of the sages, and learn the cultivation of the sages. Follow in the footsteps of the sages of ancient times, and follow the right path consistently. ”
Let go of self-stubbornness and greed, and empty the shackles of one's own evil views. Use mindfulness, mindfulness, vision, thinking, destiny, diligence, determination, speech, karma, and knowledge to understand life, remove dirt (dirt covers the radiating light of the heart's own nature), and build happiness, harmony, stability, fairness, integrity, and national peace and security for families, groups, countries, and all the people in the world. ”
Things come and go, they keep changing, and people can only run between the two extremes of joy and sorrow, anxiety, exhaustion, restlessness, and discomfort, which arise from evil views. These thoughts and feelings are just feelings, suffering is just suffering, happiness is just happiness, there is no master of suffering, all pursuits are illusory, this is the right view, thinking with this right view, hoping that sentient beings will think like this. ”
What is the joy we experience? What is suffering? How sure are they? Has it always existed? When we understand the nature of these phenomena and find that they are all constantly changing from birth to death, birth and death, and impermanence, we will no longer be so attached and our minds will be quiet. ”
If we are no longer so eager to have something or clinging to worldly ideas, we can use such experiences and objects with ease and without being constrained by them, we need to use them on a broad and transcendent level of social knowledge. Obtain transcendent wisdom from the wisdom of the sages, the wisdom of the profound truth, and follow the steps of the sages' moral cultivation and wisdom to make up for their mistakes. ”
If we cannot stand on these things, we will carry them with a thirst for love, and we will silently say to ourselves, "This is mine," and we will be willing to accept them, and this evil view will only lead us to pain and the pain of not being satisfied, and not being able to get what we want. ”
There is a story that once upon a time, there were two people, one smarter and the other stupid. The latter went to the vegetable market to buy something, and he was not sure what it was, so he bought a night pot and went home. He uses it as a cooking pot and thinks it's so good that he doesn't know how anyone else uses it. ”
When a wise person came to see this, he was surprised and puzzled: "What is this man doing?" It's disgusting to take a night pot to cook a pot. ”
One is called stupid and the other is so-called wise, why is the latter hated? The pot was new and had never been used as a night pot, so it was clean, why would he be disgusted by it? It's because of conceptual attachments, which can lead to disgust and resentment — "Hey, look at this idiot who actually uses a night pot for food." "Who is stupid of these two people? ”
Actually, the clean night pot that was taken out and sold was nothing in itself, it was just an ordinary container, and it was we named it the night pot. Later, some people use it to serve rice, soup, or miscellaneous items. Others will feel disgusting. ”
What do these disgusting negative emotions mean? It's just that people are obsessed with the name and are used to everyone saying, "This is a night pot." "It is not an absolute, immutable nightpot entity, its usage depends entirely on our thoughts, just as many people look down on people when they see others dressed dirty, it is also a wrong idea of the ideological form. ”
This is an attachment to one's own concept, a self-centered obsession. Because of this, people desire others to treat them equally, but they themselves do not want to treat others equally. This kind of phenomenon that only asks others to do what they want, but they can't do it themselves, how upside down and deformed this kind of phenomenon is! ”
People need to dissolve themselves, that is, let go of themselves, let go of themselves, let go of their own attachments and greed. This is the gentlest and gentler way to do so. A very gentle person treats others as himself, and treats all living beings as parents. ”
You are gentle with the world, and the world will be gentle with you, look in the mirror, you smile at the mirror, and the mirror smiles at you! This is the role of karma!
Do good deeds and reap good results; Evil deeds reap evil consequences! No mortal can escape the role of the Heavenly Dao Dao Dao and its laws, laws, and order! ”
The sage is too much, and the unscrupulous are not as good as it. People don't eat and drink, and they can rarely know the taste", which means that virtuous people can meet the standards of the golden mean, and unvirtuous people find various reasons for their inability to reach the golden mean, or just be strict with others and not equally strict with themselves. This is like no one who doesn't need to drink water or eat, but few people can really taste the laws of equal transformation, yin and yang, the law of five elements, the law of time, the law of space, the law of cause and effect, the law of circulation and many other laws and laws, as well as the simple and unpretentious taste of these laws and laws! Only when people are aware of and conform to the role of these Heavenly Dao Dao and their laws, laws, and orders, can they gradually get rid of samsaric suffering, evil causes, evil deeds, and ignorance! ”
We need to be fearless of loneliness, trust in miracles, know the world and know ourselves with curiosity, become ourselves and integrate into the whole whole of the boundless world, so that we can truly become an immaculate part of the world and become our true selves. Then let go of oneself and forget oneself, get rid of greed, hatred, ignorance, suspicion, and favoritism, or one's own interests.
In the wandering of life and death, reincarnation and ignorance since the beginningless, to save oneself is a necessary practice and a necessary lesson for a person to live a lifetime. Everyone needs to make the necessary breakthrough in the right place and at the right time! ”
In the entanglement of difficulties and inner nature, we should transcend our own vulgarity and our greed, hatred, ignorance, suspicion, and evil opinions, and many other habits or ignorance, make up for our mistakes and debts, defend the purity, justice, wisdom, and light of our own nature, and guide, enlighten, enlighten, and help rescue, protect, and transform all sentient beings! ”
