Five typical examples of tolerance

The story of tolerance 1: anecdotes of the prime minister

Once, when the barber was shaving Premier Zhou, the Premier suddenly coughed and the knife immediately scratched his face. The barber was very nervous and at a loss, but to his surprise, Premier Zhou didn't blame him, but kindly said to him, "It's not your fault. I didn't say hello to you before coughing. How did you know I was moving? " Although this is a trivial matter, it shows us the virtue of Premier Zhou-tolerance.

Story of Tolerance 2: Liuchi Lane

Zhang, the prime minister of Qing Dynasty, and Ye, the assistant minister, were both from Tongcheng, Anhui. The two families live next door, both want to build a house, and they have a dispute over the land. Mrs. Zhang wrote in Beijing, asking Prime Minister Zhang to intervene. After all, the prime minister is knowledgeable. After reading the letter, he immediately wrote a poem to persuade the old lady: "A letter of a thousand miles is just a wall, why not let it go three feet?" "The Great Wall of Wan Li is still there today, and Qin Shihuang is not seen." When Zhang Mu saw that the book was reasonable, she immediately stepped back three feet. Ye Jia was deeply ashamed to see this scene, and immediately put the wall back three feet. In this way, a six-foot-wide roadway was formed between Zhang Ye's house and the courtyard wall of Zhang Ye's house, which became a famous "six-foot alley". What Zhang lost was the ancestral homestead, and it was indeed a good reputation of harmonious neighborhood and immortality. Story of Tolerance 3: Zen Buddhism

According to legend, one night, an old Zen master was walking in a temple when he suddenly saw a chair near the corner. At first glance, he knew that a monk had violated the temple rules and went out for a walk. The old Zen master walked to the wall without saying a word, moved the chair away and squatted down on the spot. Later, a young monk jumped over the wall in the dark and jumped into the yard.

When his foot fell to the ground, he realized that he had just stepped on his master, not a chair. The young monk suddenly panicked and was tongue-tied. But to his surprise, the master did not reprimand him sharply, but said in a calm tone, "It's cold at night, so you should put on more clothes."

We can imagine how the disciples of the old Zen master felt after hearing this. In this tolerant and silent education, his disciples were not punished for his mistakes, but were educated.
