Why is education so famous? Among the students he teaches, there are too many successful people. At that time, no one in the later generations was uncertain, and no one was amazed. This is a great educator. His enlightenment spread in ten directions and will last forever. What kind of career is greater than this? Don't! Where does this education come from? From wisdom. Where does wisdom come from? From virtue. Buddhism teaches us that the first thing is to want Xiu De, where can we get wisdom without virtue? I tell you, without morality, you only have troubles. Ordinary people have no morality and often have troubles. Master Huineng, the sixth ancestor of Zen Buddhism, has virtue. Look, he met his teacher, the fifth ancestor, monk Ren. He told the teacher that "wisdom always grows in the hearts of disciples". If the teacher hears that students can say this, the teacher will know that students' moral cultivation is enough, so they often increase their wisdom. Wisdom is ingenious and convenient, and it can educate all beings, so morality is fundamental!

China's Confucianism, why not lay this foundation! Kong Old Master Q achieved his morality and wisdom, but he really wanted to learn from the Duke of Zhou. Duke Zhou was virtuous, knowledgeable, intelligent and talented, which helped him become a king and laid the foundation of the Zhou Dynasty for 800 years. Great achievements were admired by Duke Zhou. Kong is an idol, and he wants to learn from him. Indeed, he has the morality, knowledge, wisdom and ability of the Duke of Zhou, so he travels around the world. Unfortunately, no monarch would use him, so he had to go back to his hometown to teach. When he returned to his hometown, he was sixty-eight. When he returned to Lu, Kong died at the age of seventy-three. So he went back to teaching for only five years, and after five years of teaching, he could become a teacher for generations to come.

So I often say that Kong Old Master Q didn't even dream of it. He wanted to be Duke of Zhou, but he didn't succeed. As a result, he became a generation of famous teachers, more famous and respectable than Duke Zhou. He didn't expect it. I didn't expect his five-year education to have such a great influence on the world. Why did he achieve so much? Why can't these teachers compare with Confucius? There are two factors here, one is that morality is not comparable to Confucius, and the other is that fate is not comparable to Confucius.

Morally, Kong Old Master Q, really, is from the style, knowledge, sincerity, integrity, self-cultivation and confidence. He took root here and didn't say it until he did it. Although later generations did the same, there were different opinions! Wu Ge and Wu Ge are unclean, while Wu Ge is a broken worry. Even if the troubles are broken, the habits are still there, unlike Confucius and Confucius Old Master Q Q, so "Confucius' virtue, softness, courtesy and frugality" are great scholars of all ages, and they are not comparable to Confucius in the five aspects of "things". Confucius' virtue, purity and intolerance! These morals of these great scholars in later generations are impure and mixed, not as pure as Confucius, and not as pure as Confucius' and inner cultivation.

The second is fate. Kong Old Master Q is a student. We see in the biography that there are 3,000 people and 3,000 disciples. There are 72 people, namely inheritors, preachers and students. What a great influence! It's been more than two thousand years. There are not so many students in China, and there are not so many students with so many achievements. Among the successful students, one is 35. Even many students are really successful, one or two. Seventy-two people, masters, generations can afford to be teachers.

In the teachings of Sakyamuni Buddha, regardless of others, they often follow the crowd, with 1255 people, more than the master. These 1255 people are all successful, and they are all descendants of the Buddha, just like Master's seventy-two sages. Among this 1255 people, we often read "all are big arhats" in the classics. What is the status of the big arhat? Brother Bodhisattva, Fayun Bodhisattva. It is worthy of respect to show the teacher's virtue, wisdom and strength from his disciples.

The most important thing for people to do evil and do good is to see its influence.

We see in Fan's Four Disciplines that the most important thing for people to do evil is to look at its influence, the thickness of this theory and the size of crime. Its influence range is very small, and its influence range is very short. He does good, though small, but not big; He does evil, and the evil is small but not big. If what he does has a great impact and lasts for a long time, it is good for him, great good, evil for him and great evil. Regardless of the impact, regardless of the time! Therefore, in our daily life, we should know what kind of impact it will have on society and the future.

I am not filial to my parents. For the time being, this is a trivial matter. What's the big deal! But in terms of impact, this is what you didn't expect. Not being filial to parents has influenced many young people. When they see me like this, I am unfilial. He imitates me, and he is not filial. I turned my back on my teacher, and those people followed me when they saw me. They also turned their backs on my teacher, and their sins came from this place. In other words, the more people you influence, the longer you influence, and the deeper your sin. You have fallen into hell, when can you get out? Your influence has completely disappeared. If people in the world forget you, you can go out of hell. You have to remember this! If you slander and run amok, if you make it into tapes, videos and CDs, this is your evidence. When will you get out of hell? All your evidence has disappeared in this world. There is one piece left, and you can't get out of hell. Do you think it's terrible?

In ancient times, without these things and writing books, your books were circulated in the world. As long as there is one, it will affect others to see this and become their own evil deeds. You can't leave hell. In this world, those books are gone, and only when they disappear completely can you leave. It's convenient to print now. Have you thought about this? Careless words and deeds will have a negative impact, and this is coming, in big trouble! There is a person who knows Jaken according to your evil thoughts and is doing evil things. Your crime will attack immediately, just like a disease, it will attack again. I regretted it at that time, only to know that I didn't care when I did it, thinking it was nothing.

I often say that Buddhas, Dharma Bodhisattvas, and Arhats are all good examples for people in the society, and they are all here to help all beings realize. They will never let all beings have negative thoughts and opinions. No, they can be negative, but the thoughts and opinions of all beings are positive; If all beings do not have this ability, they will never show negativity. But this program is hard to know! Why? If the Bodhisattva tries to be negative, he will realize that this person has done enough. In addition, the people who look at him are wrong, and he becomes negative; Bodhisattva is this man. This is the most difficult level for us to learn Buddhism, and it is not easy to break through. Even when reading the Bible, we often see it, so you must read it carefully. Who did the Buddha say these words to? What kind of person this person represents in the world, you have to see clearly and tell him! What words are directed at me and what words are directed at you, this is a question asked by the university, which is not simple.

Therefore, the Buddha said in the Great Classic that "no one can interpret Buddhism, but wisdom cannot be understood". If no one talks about Buddhism, even the smartest people in the world can't understand and explain the true meaning of Tathagata. Then who will say? People who enter the realm are not people who enter the realm. He doesn't know. How many people have entered this field today? Where are you going to find it? This becomes an impossible thing. I really can't get it out. What should I do? I can't find anyone in this world. Looking for the ancients. The ancients were great teachers, which is reliable. No matter which sect is great, you can learn from it and you will succeed.

Perspective on the so-called "good people are not rewarded"

It is easy to understand that there are good and evil in the world without memory. The ancient sages of China talked a lot. Confucianism and Taoism say, "If you plant a good cause, you will get a good result", and "Good is rewarded with good, and evil with evil. It's not that you don't report it, but it's not time". Goode tells us that this man has made bad karma all his life, but he has got good karma. It seems that in this life, he has not been punished by evil, and his life is very rich and his status is very high. What is the reason why he did bad things? Buddha often says in the scriptures that he was blessed in his previous life. Although he made a bad business, what is the discount? Discount, already a lot of discount, he is still blessed. A great blessing, because if you make all the bad karma, even if you fold 80%, he still has 20%; His 20% blessing is still stronger than the average person, that's all.

In addition, there is a phenomenon that this person has been a good person all his life, with good heart and good behavior, but he has been poor all his life, even short-lived, or suffered unexpected disasters. What most of us see is: you are optimistic about people, good people are not rewarded, and what goes around comes around is false! No , you 're going the wrong way. The Buddha tells us in the scripture that cause and effect go through the third life, and what he gets in this life is due to the bad nature of the previous generation. But in this life, kindness and good deeds have improved a lot, and many improvements are not as good as his remaining evil, so he will still get what he deserves. The Buddha's truth is thoroughly explained!

Confucianism also speaks, but after listening to it, I always feel a little reluctant, not as clear and thorough as Buddhism. What did Confucianism say? If a person does not do evil, he will still be a big official and enjoy great happiness. Confucianism says that this is "the ancestors' spare capacity", that is, the blessings of their ancestors are too thick, and they enjoy the blessings of their ancestors. Good intentions and good deeds have no good results in the end, and the results are very bad. Confucianism says that his ancestors committed too many crimes. Therefore, although his descendants are kind-hearted and do good deeds, they still have no way to oppose the sins of his ancestors. Confucianism finally came up with a truth, which is not as thorough and convincing as Buddhism said.

Therefore, we must know that whenever we encounter obstacles, we should immediately go back and reflect, find out the reasons for the obstacles, or eliminate them ourselves, and the obstacles will be gone. This man doesn't cooperate with me and thinks I'm not pleasing to the eye. In what way should I treat him to improve his attitude towards me? We can't be antagonistic. Both sides should realize that this is Bodhisattva Road. Even if the other person doesn't realize it, I realize that it will take you a long time to influence. He is biased against me, and I am not biased against him; He treated me badly and I treated him well. In this life, he can't turn back, he can't realize, he can't improve his attitude towards me, and he will understand when he dies. On his deathbed, he thought about the contact with many people in his life, which one was true to me and which one was false to me, and he understood. Even if he dies in this life, he is unconscious. He will realize in the afterlife, and he will realize in the afterlife. There is no one left in Buddhism.

Be sincere, equal, kind, kind, eternal, modest, and respect others. You should keep a low profile, so that you can get mutual assistance and cooperation. Your attitude is too high, others can see that you are afraid, afraid, and want to do something for you, but dare not. Why? When you are unhappy, your temper will come out, and others will stay away from you and dare not do things for you. Why? I'm afraid that a little thing will upset you and you'll fly into a rage. If you have these habits, you should know how ordinary people treat you. One more thing is better for you, and one less thing is better than nothing. Then you are very bitter and tired. You do everything alone, and no one dares to help you. It's not that people don't want to help you. Many people are willing to help you, but they are afraid to help you. You should reflect on yourself, know yourself and turn over a new leaf!

Successful career, everyone has his strong points, good! I can't say that I did this work alone, but the credit is mine alone. This is too selfish and narrow-minded. I did a good job in this matter, and everyone's credit is the public; If it is not done well, the responsibility will be borne by one person. This man is a hero, not a mortal. So I often wonder why the Buddha is incompetent.
