As the old saying goes, "It is beneficial to open books, and to accumulate good deeds and reduce happiness" refers to two aspects of self-cultivation: one is to study, and the other is to do good deeds and accumulate virtue.

"Open-book is beneficial" is an idiom, which describes that it is always beneficial as long as you open a book to read. It is often used to encourage people to study hard and reading more books will benefit them. The ancients said, "There are poems and books to flatter in the belly." . Books are the summary of historical experience, and reading can make history clear; Books are the crystallization of social culture. Reading can deeply understand the truth of life, understand the vicissitudes of the world, and increase natural and scientific knowledge. Books are the key to human wisdom. Liu Xiang, a scholar in the Western Han Dynasty, once said: "Books are still medicine, and good reading can cure fools."

My master mentioned in the article "Talking about Reading in Leisure-Talking about Reading": "Reading is the most important thing in the life of scholars and literati, and it is also the daily homework of all people who pay attention to self-cultivation." But how to read this book? Master also gave clear instructions: "Learn from Zhang Zi, a disciple of Confucius. It is not good for disciples to cultivate themselves without reading. He should read the ancient classics and the current social code of conduct and learn from history. " At the same time, it is proposed that "not all books can be read". As the British writer Fielding said, "Bad books are like bad friends, which may harm you. "We must choose the best books that are most valuable, insightful and suitable for our own reading.

Even if our practice has reached the realm of managing the country, we still need to "accumulate good deeds and reduce good fortune" to protect ourselves and our descendants.

If there is a good family, there must be Qing Yu, a good family, and this benefit will continue to future generations. Master mentioned in the article "Talking about the" Surplus "and" Seeking the Deficiency "of Good Virtue": "If you leave a blessing to your descendants, you must use gold and silver in everything; Jide is an industry whose origin is beautiful houses and fertile fields. "It is better to leave gold and silver for future generations than to accumulate virtue; Accumulate virtue and do good deeds is the real industry, and it is an inexhaustible beautiful house and fertile land.

The best example of "amassing good fortune" is Yuan Lefan in the Ming Dynasty. Jackson Yungu asked him to do more good deeds, do good deeds and change his destiny. From then on, Yuan Lefan began to do good deeds, starting from the initial small goal of 3,000 good deeds, and finally achieved the big goal of 10000 good deeds. After he worked hard to do good, his fate changed completely. Later, according to his own personal experience, he wrote "Four Chapters from Fan", describing the process of changing his destiny.

It can be seen that reading can change fate, and accumulating goodness can cultivate auspiciousness. Reading more books, reading good books, doing good deeds and accumulating blessings are compulsory courses in our life.
