1. In our traditional Chinese culture, we are most afraid of having too much happiness, too much success, and too much peace in our lives. Without a sense of worry, it is like taking poison, poisoning yourself to death.

2. Knowledge is not literature. A good article means a person’s literature is good; knowledge is a person’s knowledge. As for knowledge, even if you don’t know a word, you may still be knowledgeable - be a good person. , do things right, absolutely good, absolutely right, this is knowledge.

3. This is the best of times and the worst of times. The contribution of Western culture has promoted the development of material civilization, which can be said to be happiness on the surface; bad means that people are busy in the competition for survival, fearful of the destruction of war, and troubled by the insatiable sea of ??desire. . Mentally, it is the most painful. Humanity is facing a new crisis.

4. People often ask me why I have such good knowledge. I tell them honestly that this is the result of memorizing these ancient books before I was thirteen years old.

5. A person should be noble, but some people are seeking to be noble, or to show off that they are noble, so they have to bear the pain and sacrifice. Then there is no need, this is extraordinary, extraordinary is not the spirit of true self-cultivation.

6. A good doctor will never save a person who is not sick; a teacher will not show the way. Delicious food and delicious meals are not enough to persuade people to eat; exotic treasures and treasures may not move the thoughts of honest people. Today's world is dominated by science and technology, and without the development of personality, it is chaotic and useless. Education is just selling knowledge. This is the fundamental source of chaos and the source of distress. Only when science, technology, philosophy, religion, literature and art, and personality development education return to one body, return to their roots, and develop in a balanced manner can there be hope.

7. What is career? Confucius's "Book of Changes" calls it "the people of the world who take action are called career." A person can do one thing throughout his life and make a contribution to the public, the country, and the entire society. This is considered a career.

8. If you want to ask, when will the world realize peace and harmony? I say, mankind may never realize it. If humans really have such a society, the universe will be destroyed.

9. When learning, you must not be afraid of loneliness or desolation. Only with this spirit and attitude can we talk about learning.

10. Our Chinese cultural property is too great. If we don’t understand ancient Chinese and traditional Chinese, we have lost the key and the door of this treasury cannot be opened.

11. I often feel that it is not terrible if a country dies, it can be resurrected. If a country’s culture dies, it will never stand up again.

12. Knowledge is not literature. A good article is a person’s literature, and a person’s knowledge is a person’s profound knowledge. As for knowledge, even if you don't know a word, you may still be knowledgeable - being a good person and doing the right things is knowledge.

13. If a person can truly learn for the sake of learning, he will not blame God or others, but ask himself, why can’t I stand up? Why haven’t I achieved this goal? It’s my own knowledge, Various issues of cultivation and practice. I reflect deeply on myself, and I don’t have any thoughts of resentment in my heart. Taking the current concept as an example, this kind of psychology is an absolutely healthy psychology, and this is what makes a gentleman.

14. Today’s world is dominated by science and technology, and without the development of personality, it is chaotic and useless. Education is just selling knowledge, which is the fundamental source of chaos and the source of distress. Only when science, technology, philosophy, religion, literature and art, and personality development education return to one body, return to their roots, and develop in a balanced manner can there be hope.

15. We all often hear that "getting carried away", but according to my personal life experience of decades, I also need to add another sentence "getting carried away". Some people are good at first. When they are rich and proud, they handle everything properly and are polite to everyone. But once they are frustrated, they don't even want to see people. They have a disgusting look, a sense of inferiority, and all kinds of things. All the troubles have come, and the person has completely changed.

16. There is no good or evil in politics, military, or diplomacy, only interests. How to deal with it temporarily, you must know how to deal with it.

But it should be noted that although there is no good or evil, right or wrong, there is still cause and effect.

17. Buddhism is like a department store. If you have money and leisure, you can go shopping. You can go shopping and buy things. You can also not go shopping at all, but society needs it; Taoism is like a pharmacy, which includes military strategists. , the thoughts of political strategists, and even astronomy, geography, and medicine. When a country or a nation is sick, it must go to this drugstore; Confucianism and Confucius and Mencius are the food store, which is eaten every day. We must have a deep understanding of the evolution of Chinese culture and history, and the future What to do is to study the Four Books.

18. Today’s world, with its advanced material civilization, is on the surface the happiest era in history; but people are busy competing for survival, terrified by the destruction of war, and overwhelmed by the sea of ??desire. Difficult to fill and troubled. Spiritually, it can also be said to be the most painful era in history. People are born inexplicably, live helplessly, and finally die without knowing why.

19. The whole world is dominated by money, and money determines status. Without money, there is no freedom. There is no truly independent and outstanding personality and cultural accomplishment, but only a mess of so-called personality flaunting and money-oriented. Even scientific research, education, and academia are all under the command of money. They have no spiritual support. Once they lose their jobs, it will be like the sky is falling.

20. Pneumonia was the greatest threat to mankind in the 19th century, cancer was the greatest threat to mankind in the 20th century, and mental illness was the greatest threat to mankind in the 21st century. Now is the era when mental illness begins. I find that many young children have mental problems. It boils down to a problem of education. The success or failure of a country or society focuses on culture and education.

21. The Buddhist Statue Department Store has a wide variety of department stores, so you can go shopping if you have money and time. You can go shopping and buy things, you can not buy anything, you can also not go shopping at all, but society needs it.

A collection of Nan Huaijin’s quotations

1 The whole world is dominated by money, which determines whether one is noble or not. Without money, there is no freedom. There is no truly independent and outstanding personality and cultural accomplishment, but only a mess of so-called personality flaunting and money-oriented. Even scientific research, education, and academia are all under the command of money. They have no spiritual support. Once they lose their jobs, it will be like the sky is falling.

2 The hardest thing about learning is to be mediocre. People who are content with being mediocre can do anything.

3 Heaven is good, but some people would rather die than get tired of hell. Although the paradise world is enviable and longing for, some people are willing to bathe in the boundless sea of ??suffering forever and take suffering as pleasure. Rather than giving up one in favor of one, it has already gone in the opposite direction. It is better to forget each other and not be obsessed with truth and falsehood, good and evil, beauty and ugliness, then you can achieve the wonderful and carefree way.

4 Some people do whatever it takes to start a business, and they often like to quote the words "the ends justify the means" from the Western religious revolutionary Martin Luther. But you have to be careful, don’t just say half of what Martin Luther said. He meant: “By any means necessary, achieve the highest morality.” Now take a stab at this sentence, cut it in half, and use “by any means necessary.” , instead of "fulfilling the highest morality", which is very dangerous.

5 We often see the four words "overcorrection", "overcorrection" means crooked. When you see something crooked, you must correct it; if you correct it too much, it becomes crooked again. In other words, it's either leaning this way or that way. In short, "excessive correctness" means crookedness. The same is true for etiquette. It needs to be moderated. Excessive adjustment is not good. It is wrong for a young man not to be polite at all, but if he is polite all day long, if he is too polite, people will misunderstand him and flatter him, so "knowing and being harmonious" means understanding the neutrality of one thing. Tao, to neutralize and adjust it.

6 Today’s respect for teachers is just a slogan. The people who truly respect teachers are primary school students. I think you all have this experience. If our children study in primary school, they will talk to the teacher when they come back. What did you say? What did the teacher say?

7 Confucius said in the "Xizhuan" of the "Book of Changes": "When a minister kills his king and a son kills his father, it does not happen overnight. It happens gradually." When Confucius wrote At the time of "Book of Changes·Xizhuan", it was a time of turmoil in the Spring and Autumn Period.

But Confucius believed that "it didn't happen overnight" - it wasn't formed in one day. Zhuangzi, a Taoist, said: "Hurricane originated from Pingmo." Hurricane is what is now called typhoon in Cantonese and Fujian. Now Westerners use Chinese transliteration to translate it, and it is also called typhoon. We saw that the power of the typhoon was so violent, but when it first rose on the water, we only saw a leaf of duckweed on the water. It moved slightly, and then a stream of air came up from the water, and gradually grew bigger and changed into Become a typhoon. This Taoist saying means that whether it is an individual, a family, a society, a country, or the world, it is the same. If you don't care about small things, then big problems will all arise from small things.

8 In history, many people did not do what was right. For many things, they knew clearly that they should do it, but most of them did not dare to do it because they had no choice. The same is true for us as human beings: "You can see through it, but you can't bear it. If you want it, you can't do it." For example, if you smoke cigarettes, you know all the harms of this hobby and you shouldn't smoke it. This is "you can see through it," but you always have it in your pocket. It's putting a pack of cigarettes - "can't stand it". For many things, I think they are right in theory, but when I do them, I feel that my physical strength is not enough. This is "I can think of it, but I can't do it." This is true for personal future, and it is also true for world affairs.

9 If people can get rid of greed and jealousy, what is its opposite? Only helping people, only complimenting people, only cultivating people, wishing others well, and all glory going to you, brother, that is Don't be jealous. What is learning Buddhism? This is learning Buddhism! Do you think that kowtowing to the Buddha, chanting sutras, eating vegetarian food, and asking for the Buddha’s blessings is learning Buddhism? It would be better for you to ask these four words to bless you. You have really removed the four words “greedy, jealousy,” , you are still more than half way to becoming a Buddha.

10 People who grow up successfully in hardships often lead to abnormal deviations due to psychological shadows. This kind of deviation means that there is always a kind of hatred and hostility towards society and people, not trusting anyone, let alone sympathizing with anyone. The stinginess of loving money as much as life is still a secondary phenomenon of psychological abnormality. On the contrary, a thoughtful and knowledgeable person, although he has grown up through hardships, is more compassionate and generous. Because he understands life and the joys and sorrows of the world.

12 There are two things in the world that cannot be tested, namely politics and military. These two things are all-encompassing and ever-changing. Historically speaking, which one is better among politics at home and abroad in ancient and modern times, autocracy, monarchy, democracy, and collectivity? Who can draw this conclusion? Especially in modern China, in the past few decades, all Western ideas and cultures have been moved to the stage of China. I have played it before, but Western ideas come from Western culture. What is the result? Therefore, people who are in politics must understand life, have experience, and experience it more.

13 A person must first learn to enjoy loneliness before he can understand life and realize a higher realm of life.

14 The importance of the seed of Alaya Consciousness can be imagined, "When the cause and the fate meet, the retribution will be received by oneself." Therefore, people should not have greedy, angry or delusional thoughts in a single thought. Otherwise, the nature of Alaya Consciousness will sow evil roots and bear bad fruits in the future. The good roots planted will bear good fruits in the future. .

15 What is politics? What the Chinese call politics means "rectify yourself before rectifying others." If you can't do it yourself, how can you lead others?

16 My childhood was in a private school. At that time, I was very disgusted with reading the Four Books and Five Classics, because in the past, when teachers questioned students, they only said, "You will understand in the future." I don't know how long this "future" will last.

17 In past history, there were three basic principles for talents, namely talent, morality and learning. Some people are born with good character—good character often comes mostly from nature—but they don’t have talent. We know that people with moral character can maintain their status. It is very good to teach such people to sit in the rear areas. However, if we teach them to try to open up a situation and rush out, they will not be able to do it. He does not have this talent. He only has the talent to maintain his status. There is no pioneering talent. Therefore, those who are successful should pay more attention to moral character. It is difficult to have both talent and virtue, but there is one thing that can make up for it, and that is learning, using knowledge to cultivate the missing side. Although some people are naturally talented and virtuous, they still need knowledge to cultivate them.

18. Zigong talked about Confucius’s gentleness, kindness, respect, frugality, and yielding. He was talking about Confucius’s cultivation, which was the culmination of ancient Chinese traditional culture. He had such profound cultivation, so his The purpose is the "Shu Shi Shi" in ancient my country. He has the idea of ????saving the world and saving people, which is his great cause we mentioned earlier. The great cause of the Qianqiu is knowledge and thought. The cause of the Qianqiu was very lonely at the time. For example, Confucius, Laozi, Sakyamuni, Jesus, Muhammad, etc. were not taken seriously at the time, but their virtues lasted forever and their reputations are known throughout the ages. Confucius's eternal career can only be achieved by gathering the culmination of Chinese culture, thought, and spirit, clearly recognizing his own tasks, and sacrificing the glory of reality.

19 The purpose of education in China for thousands of years is not to make a living, but to teach us how to be a human being. Vocational skills are learned separately. Moreover, education starts with prenatal education, with tutoring as the most important thing, and then learning from the teacher. Personality education and cultural cultivation last throughout life. Therefore, in addition to political power and wealth, society must also have independent and outstanding personality and character as the mainstay of society.

20 Anyone in the world can only do three things in his life. He is either deceiving himself or others, or he is being deceived by others. Do you think people in this world can escape from these three things? If they can escape from these three things, they will be outside the Three Realms.

21. Anyone in the world can walk after doing three things: deceiving themselves and others and being deceived by others.

22 There are two things in the world that cannot be tested, namely politics and military affairs. These two things are all-encompassing and ever-changing. Historically speaking, which one is better among politics at home and abroad in ancient and modern times, autocracy, monarchy, democracy, and collectivity? Who can draw this conclusion? Especially in modern China, in the past few decades, all Western ideas and cultures have been moved to the stage of China. I have played it before, but Western ideas come from Western culture. What is the result? Therefore, people who are in politics must understand life, have experience, and experience it more.

23 The Confucianism of Confucius and Mencius is like food stores, which require food every day. During the "May 4th Movement", pharmacies were not attacked, nor were department stores, but food stores were destroyed. After knocking down the grain stores, we Chinese people don’t eat and only eat foreign bread. This is something we are not used to. If we eat it for a long time, we will have stomach problems.

24 The greatest threat to mankind in the 19th century was pneumonia, the greatest threat to mankind in the 20th century was cancer, and the greatest threat to mankind in the 21st century was mental illness. Now is the era when mental illness begins. I find that many young children have mental problems. It boils down to a problem of education. The success or failure of a country or society focuses on culture and education.

25 A good doctor will never save a person who is not sick; a teacher will not show the way. Delicious food and delicious meals are not enough to persuade people to eat; exotic treasures and treasures may not move the thoughts of honest people. Today's world is dominated by science and technology, and without the development of personality, it is chaotic and useless. Education is just selling knowledge. This is the fundamental source of chaos and the source of distress. Only when science, technology, philosophy, religion, literature and art, and personality development education return to one body, return to their roots, and develop in a balanced manner can there be hope.

26 This is the best of times and the worst of times. The contribution of Western culture has promoted the development of material civilization, which can be said to be happiness on the surface; bad means that people are busy in the competition for survival, fearful of the destruction of war, and troubled by the insatiable sea of ??desire. . Mentally, it is the most painful. In this sharp contrast between developed material civilization and poor spiritual life, mankind is facing a new crisis.

27 There is a couplet from ancient Chinese that combines two sentences: "Filial piety is the first of all good deeds, but the original intention is not the same, and the original deeds are not filial. There are no filial sons in the poor family. All kinds of evil are the first, and the deeds are ignored without regard to the heart. "On the heart, there are few perfect people in the world." His "original heart is not original" only depends on whether his heart is filial or not. For example, a person is very poor and wants to buy a can of milk powder for his parents, but he really has no money and cannot afford it, so he feels very painful. He only hopes to slowly save some money before buying it. As long as he has this heart, as long as his emotion is true, we cannot say that he is unfilial.

"It turns out that there are no filial sons in poor families." If it must be shown in fact, then there will be no filial sons in poor families.

28 Knowledge is not literature. A good article is a person’s literature, and a person’s knowledge is profound. As for knowledge, even if you don't know a word, you may still have knowledge - be a good person and do things right, this is knowledge.

29 Increasing conceit means that people originally only have a condescending mind, but for some reason, the role of conceit is brought into full play. For example, people who are knowledgeable and knowledgeable are most likely to suffer from slow growth. Not only knowledge, but also all people who have achieved some achievements in any aspect will inevitably increase their arrogance towards higher things. For example, smart people already think they are great. If a smart person adds knowledge and experience, if he takes a bad path, it is what the ancients said: "Learning is enough to help the traitor." It is better not to learn, but knowledge will help others. Do evil.

30 Some people only like to release animals, which is one of the roots of good deeds. However, I often advise people not to release animals randomly in the city. For example, if you go to the market to buy some animals and release them, not only is this not releasing them, but it is killing them. Some people who sell animals know that some people like to release animals, so they try their best to catch them and sell them. Even if you release an animal today, it will be captured again tomorrow, so it is very difficult to actually release it. Sometimes rescuing a small animal is not necessarily a good deed. Doing good deeds requires wisdom. For example, some people are fine without money, but if you help them, they will have the capital to do evil. Therefore, good deeds done without wisdom will turn into bad things.

31 Without the cultivation of the world, there will be no achievements in the world.

32 We often see the four words "overcorrection", "overcorrection" means crooked. When you see something crooked, you must correct it; if you correct it too much, it becomes crooked again. In other words, it's either leaning this way or that way. In short, "excessive correctness" means crookedness. The same is true for etiquette. It needs to be moderated. Excessive adjustment is not good. It is wrong for a young man not to be polite at all, but if he is polite all day long, if he is too polite, people will misunderstand him and flatter him, so "knowing and being harmonious" means understanding the neutrality of one thing. Tao, to neutralize and adjust it.

33 You should pay attention to which country each economist is from, and which country he stands on. The United States now promotes neoliberalism, which I think is an aggressive economy. Those writings are bandit ideas. I often say, don’t think about joining the WTO. After joining, the United States will come to acquire, the United States will take shares, and the United States will merge. Is that a good thing? Have you ever thought about it? Because you don’t know your own culture. I don’t know where I stand anymore

33 You have to pay attention to which country each economist is from, and which country he stands on. The United States now promotes neoliberalism, which I think is an aggressive economy.

Because you don’t know your own culture. I don’t know where I stand anymore

34 “Respect is closer to etiquette than shame.” Be respectful while being polite. The so-called respect means being solemn and serious about things in your heart. It does not mean you are respectful when you see someone saluting. Even if you don't salute, when your friends are in trouble, you will know the infinite concern without saying it. Therefore, whether a person is respectful or not, although the superficial attitude is important, what is more important is the inner matter. Therefore, respect is etiquette. Why should people be respectful to each other? "Stay away from shame" to avoid unnecessary shame.

35 I have never deceived others in my life, but I would rather be broken into pieces than become a complete mess. But he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

36 All living beings in the world are not selfish, and they will never become Bodhisattvas or Buddhas. Only those who only seek to benefit all sentient beings and not seek self-interest are the true Bodhisattvas. Only by fulfilling the precept of "benefiting all sentient beings" can one become a Buddha.

37 There is a couplet from ancient Chinese that combines two sentences: "Filial piety is the first of all good deeds, but the original intention is not the same, and the original deeds are not filial. There are no filial sons in the poor family. All evils are the first, and the deeds are not the heart. "On the heart, there are few perfect people in the world." His "original heart is not original" only depends on whether his heart is filial or not.

For example, a person is very poor and wants to buy a can of milk powder for his parents, but he really has no money and cannot afford it, so he feels very painful. He only hopes to slowly save some money before buying it. As long as he has this heart, as long as his emotion is true, we cannot say that he is unfilial. "It turns out that there are no filial sons in poor families." If it must be shown in fact, then there will be no filial sons in poor families.

38 Our Chinese cultural property is too great. If we don’t understand classical Chinese and traditional Chinese, we have lost the key, and the door of this treasury cannot be opened.

39 A person should be aloof, but some people are seeking to be aloof, or to show off their aloofness, so they have to bear the pain and sacrifice. Then there is no need, this is extraordinary, extraordinary is not the spirit of true self-cultivation.

40 If you are poor and you are poor, you will never be worried. If you are poor and sad at the same time, it is not worth it. It will be very unfair to become poor and depressed.

41 If you want consumption to stimulate production, it is best to fight every day. So you see, the United States is instigating wars everywhere. This is the biggest consumption stimulus to production. Now, the United States is advocating the so-called neoliberal economic thought. You go and study this neoliberalism, completely stand on the standpoint of your own country, use economic weapons to rule the world, use money to control people all over the world, and become economic warlords. What kind of culture is this? We need to think deeply!

42 Today’s world, with its advanced material civilization, is the happiest era in history on the surface; spiritually, it can also be said to be the most painful era in history. era. People are born inexplicably, live helplessly, and finally die without knowing why.

43 According to psychological research, people can easily discover their own mistakes. Everyone has done something wrong or said something wrong. Do they know it? Absolutely, but human beings have a shortcoming, especially those who are not truly cultivated, and cannot correct this shortcoming. This problem is that you clearly know that you are wrong, and you will find many reasons in the second second to support your mistake. There is no way. Therefore, once a mistake is discovered, one must have the courage to correct it. This is true knowledge and morality.
