If you build a basic personality, it's like building a house and laying a good foundation. If you lay a good foundation, you will not be afraid of landslides and earthquakes in the future. You can conquer nature and turn bad times in the world into good times. Why is the world not good? You see, people in the world now only know that profit is the only thing, only know how to get rich, and think that profit is the first. In this way, you feel that profit comes first, and what you do is mercenary, so you forget morality and don't remember that you are a man at all. You only know that I studied hard, how to make more money, how to get a good reputation, and how to work hard on this fame and fortune. This is something that deserves our attention and sadness.
Now some young people are addicted to TV and this computer, so some young people take drugs and deal drugs in primary school. Taking this as their ability, they did this unnatural thing without reading a good book, ignoring the power of benevolence, morality and harming others and themselves, and turned it upside down, even forming all kinds of bad habits of killing, arson, robbery and theft, and all kinds of bad behaviors. The root of being a man-we should be patriotic, and how to be patriotic can you love your country, your family, your life and your own life. This is much more important than property. You don't know how to love your country, your family or your life. What's the point of this? Just make some money. Without money, you won't do so many bad things. If you have money, you should eat, drink and be merry as much as possible. Do you think this is an enjoyable life? Is being a man just for appetite?
Why should young people be filial to their parents? Because parents are the mother and foundation of human beings, and we are born from our parents. We should have a sense of gratitude. It is not easy to raise this child because of the hard work of parents. Then children grow up and can fly with hard wings, regardless of their parents. Although the old man has children, he is also like a lonely old man. Nothing can comfort him, and no one has a good impression on him. So it is forgetful to go out and develop freely at the age of 0/8 in this country. Once you have established this foundation, he will understand how to be a man, how to benefit the world and how to serve the country faithfully. This primary school must first learn the spirit of this book. Reward is to repay parents for this kind of parenting, so watch the lamb kneel down and the crow feed back. Lambs need to kneel when they are nursing. The crow brought up the little crow. The old crow was powerless and couldn't find anything to eat, so the little crow fed it back. You see animals and know how to repay your parents' kindness. Therefore, filial piety to parents is the foundation of human beings, and the fundamental foothold of human beings is innate. Tao is the road, law and principle that we should follow.
Therefore, "filial piety" is the foundation of human beings. The word "filial piety" means filial piety to parents, which is the foundation of being a man. This pupil should pay attention to filial piety, but no one in the west teaches filial piety. This teacher teaches people how to be a person who loves life, country and family. Students can't hear such lessons and theories, so although they study, they are all confused and don't know what it is to be a man. I don't know what it feels like to be a man. Primary schools should be filial and middle schools should be loyal to the country. When you are old, you should be filial to your parents and the three treasures. As young people, we should be familiar with and practice this truth when we are young. But now education is on the verge of bankruptcy, and no one teaches this important education, and no one regards this fundamental education as F.
So I said to a gentleman from the Department of Education in Washington, "Now education all over the world is on the verge of bankruptcy. What a terrible, dangerous and noteworthy thing you are talking about. Therefore, middle schools must learn how to be loyal to the country. Being loyal to my country doesn't mean that I take my soldiers to invade other countries. If you invade other people's national life, your property will be lost. How can I be loyal? Loyalty means cherishing one's own country, not invading others' countries and protecting one's own country. Protecting one's country does not mean having troops, weapons or modern weapons to kill people. This matter is putting the cart before the horse.
What is this? Fundamentally-to be a good personality. We should attach importance to education. Education should learn how to be a person who is beneficial to mankind, a person who contributes to the world, a person who is beneficial to the people and a person who is beneficial to the world. Everyone should remember this, don't be busy for yourself, every hard move is for yourself. This is selfish. We study patriotism and how to protect our country in middle school. Then universities should learn the fundamentals of being human in a deeper level. You can't just fall in love without growing up, and men and women don't obey the rules; I think that male students are monsters without girlfriends; Female students without boyfriends are also considered monsters. Then, if this continues, the world will be terrible. You must cherish your life, your family and your country. With this, not only will you not fall in love when you are immature, but you will also not neglect reading and moral education. This is called inversion, so you are the stupidest person.
Why is education on the verge of bankruptcy? Think about it, this young man and woman are crazy, crazy, and still talk about love between men and women in this way. This is like planting a grain, or planting a seedling, which is not yet mature. This grain has not been harvested and is not yet mature. It's no use cutting it at this time. When both men and women are immature, you destroy each other. Can be said to be the worst trend in the world.
Then college students should learn the eight virtues of benevolence, righteousness, Taoism, morality, filial piety, loyalty and faith, and moral ethics to save the bankrupt education. This is not a conversation. In this simple place, you can do it well and everyone can do it. Therefore, we have educated human beings to understand morality and ethics, and we all know this filial piety, loyalty and sincerity. This is a panacea and a treasure to save young people. Nothing is more important than this. Therefore, we have a very useful method, to be ambitious, to study the space, to study this and that. This is that you have not done well in life, and everything you have done is fake. This is the purpose of the Holy City of Ten Thousand Buddhas. Everyone does not dispute, everyone is not greedy, everyone wants nothing, everyone is not selfish, everyone is not self-interested, and everyone does not talk nonsense. You said that if the world is not peaceful, the world will be peaceful and the world will not argue with anyone. This kind of "competition" is the core of victory and failure. If you violate the Tao, you will have four hearts. How can it be samadhi? " But people's education is also the pursuit of the end, pursuing fame and fortune in that place, and earning more money after reading books. How can we have power and status? People who have this idea are not scholars at all. You are all wise young people, you should choose the right truth for yourself, and you should not turn it upside down for fame and fortune.
I know you young people like to listen to what I say, some are against it, some don't like it, and most don't like it. But I can't say what others like to hear just because I don't like it. I'm bored and don't want to listen anywhere, but what you don't want to listen to is exactly what I want to say. The less you want to hear it, the more I want to say that I have this temper.
