My thoughts after reading "Disciples' Regulations"
Many people say that the principles in "Disciples' Regulations" are very simple and they have known them for a long time. I am very envious. "Disciple Rules" allowed me to sublimate my feelings in happiness and understand more principles of life. It cultivated my wisdom and shocked my soul. I often think that if I knew these truths earlier, maybe my life experiences would be very different.
A drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring. For a person, the greatest kindness that should be repaid is the nurturing kindness of his parents. Therefore, the first chapter of the "Disciple Rules" is "Filial Piety". The heart of gratitude is first reflected in the word "filial piety". "Don't hesitate to respond to your parents' calls; don't be lazy to follow your parents' orders. You must listen to your parents' instructions; you must obey your parents' responsibilities. ..." These are the basic requirements for filial piety to parents, but there are many things I cannot do. I used to think that it was very natural for parents to love their children. I didn’t know the blessings in the midst of blessings, and I couldn’t understand the hard work and grievances of my parents. "If you like your relatives, you can use your strength; if you hate your relatives, be careful to get rid of them. If your body is hurt, your relatives will be worried; if your virtue is hurt, your relatives will be ashamed." My parents worked hard to support me in studying, but sometimes I can't do what they want. They were very disappointed; not only did I not listen to my parents’ tactful suggestions, I would also feel annoyed, and sometimes I even did things deliberately to make my parents angry. Therefore, after studying the "Disciple Rules", I realized that the quality of family, career and body are not just my own business. We must remember that "the body, hair and skin are received by the parents, and dare not damage them, which is the beginning of filial piety."
Reading the "Disciples' Regulations" gave us a good revelation as first-time parents: we must educate children to first honor their parents in daily life and to be careful in what they say and do. Be careful and spend more time with people with noble ideas in your daily life. After studying, you should read more and learn more scientific and cultural knowledge. Everyone knows this truth, but when it comes to practice, people often ignore it.
Today’s children are all only children. Parents often try their best to let their children learn more skills, such as painting, singing, playing piano, and learning foreign languages. Their intentions are all good. Parents It is understandable that we hope that our children will become successful. However, excessive coercion will cause children to have a rebellious mentality, hurt their young minds, and is not conducive to their growth, which is unacceptable. Through reading, parents will master the correct guidance methods, patiently solve problems that arise in their children's daily study and life, let their children understand the rules of life, and cultivate their children's traditional virtues
"Disciple Rules" also Let us know that we must have a respectful attitude in some small things in daily life, in front of others and behind others, and when we are alone. Respect will become a naturally revealed quality of a person. Respect and humility are inseparable. Without inherent humility, it is difficult to be truly respectful to others. "Modernity brings harm, but modesty benefits." "Humility makes people progress, and pride makes people fall behind." Although I have read many famous aphorisms like this since I was a child, I have never realized that humility is an extremely beautiful quality. Instead, I often Competitive, proud, and arrogant. Looking back, pride and complacency have indeed caused a lot of harm to oneself, and also made one fall far behind others. "I am angry when I hear it, and I am happy when I hear the praise. Harmful friends come, but good ones are gone; I am frightened when I hear the praise, but I am happy when I hear it. I am straight to the point of understanding, and gradually get to know each other." is one of my favorite verses. No matter how great a person's ability is, there will always be limits. No one is perfect, and people always have shortcomings, so they need help and reminders from others. A person has only one pair of eyes and ears, and the range of what he can see and hear is very narrow. If he can be open-minded, it is like having many more pairs of eyes and ears, and the range of what he can see and hear is greatly expanded. , then you will go higher and further and achieve greater achievements.
Studying the "Disciple Rules", I think, is not only a process of improving personal cultivation, but also a process of ideological sublimation. It is very necessary for a person's growth. Love everyone around you and love this world. Only in this way will this society become a harmonious society and the world will become a harmonious world.
