"Respecting others is respecting oneself" (Interpretation of the Analects of Confucius, Day 151)

Nikkei Day 456 (Regional Party Day 151) 10)

Classic original text: When you raise a chariot, you must stand at attention and hold the Sui Sui. Don't look inside, don't speak harshly, don't point fingers in the car.

When getting on the bus, be sure to stand upright first, and then hold the handrail to get on the bus. In the car, don’t look back, don’t speak loudly, and don’t point your fingers.

Zhi Sui means that the driver will hand the rope to the passenger to make it easier for him to get on the bus.

Just like when we get on a bus now, if there are no seats, we stand upright after getting in the bus, and then hold on to the handle or the iron rod.

Confucius always maintained his dignity and was in awe everywhere. Although these actions are very subtle, we can see the Master's daily intentions.

To not look inwards means not to look back, but only to look forward. When you are riding a bus, if you suddenly look behind you, it will often cause many people to look behind you, making the people behind you feel uneasy and embarrassing for everyone.

When riding in a car, the driver is concentrating on driving. If you distract him by talking to him, an accident will occur, so it is called silent speech.

If you don’t point fingers, you don’t point with your hands. This is to avoid people thinking that you are doing something? ! Therefore, when the car is moving, try to be as stable as possible. This is cultivation.

Buddhists talk about precepts, concentration, and wisdom. The purpose of keeping precepts is to gain concentration. Concentration can produce wisdom. The connotation of precepts is to stop evil and cultivate good deeds.

Although our nature is perfect and adequate, when we do not manifest our nature, our hearts are always floating. Then we must use precepts and rituals to regulate our hearts and let them Gradually settle down.

In many actions, Confucius was able to act according to etiquette. He was meticulous, accurate and appropriate in what expressions, actions, and words he should have for different people, different things, and different environments. stick.

We say that respecting others means respecting yourself. This is the charm of personality.
