① The ancient stories about tolerance, short and concise

The story of tolerance 1: Buddhist Zen sayings

According to legend, there was an old Zen master in ancient times. One night While walking in the Zen monastery, he suddenly saw a chair in the corner. As soon as he saw it, he knew that a monk had violated the temple rules and crossed the wall for a walk. The old Zen master did not say anything, walked to the wall, removed the chair, and squatted on the spot. After a while, a young monk actually climbed over the wall, stepped on the old Zen master's back and jumped into the yard in the dark.

When he landed on the ground, he realized that the person he had just stepped on was not a chair, but his own master. The young monk suddenly panicked and was speechless. But to the young monk's expectation, the master did not scold him harshly, but said in a calm tone: "It's cold in the night, go and wear more clothes."

We can imagine the mood of the disciple after hearing the old Zen master’s words. In this silent education of tolerance, the disciple was not punished by his mistakes, but educated.

During the Qing Dynasty, Prime Minister Zhang Tingyu and a minister named Ye were both from Tongcheng, Anhui. The two families lived next to each other and both wanted to build houses. There was a dispute over land. Mrs. Zhang then wrote a book in Beijing and asked Prime Minister Zhang to intervene. After all, the prime minister had extraordinary insight. After reading the letter, he immediately wrote a poem to persuade the old lady: "The letter from home is just for the wall, so why not give it another three feet? The Great Wall is still there today, and Qin Shihuang is nowhere to be seen." Zhang's mother understood the letter and immediately understood the reason. He took the initiative to move the wall back three feet. Seeing this, the Ye family felt deeply ashamed and immediately moved the wall back three feet. In this way, a six-foot-wide lane was formed between the courtyard walls of Zhang Ye's family, which became the famous "Six-foot Lane". What Zhang Tingyu lost was a bit of his ancestral homestead, but in exchange he gained neighborhood harmony and a reputation that will last forever.

Tolerance Story 3: The Prime Minister’s Anecdote

Once, when the barber was shaving Premier Zhou’s beard, the Prime Minister suddenly coughed and the knife immediately scratched his face.

How did you know I was going to do it?" "Where are you moving? "Although this is a small thing, it allows us to see the virtue of Premier Zhou - tolerance.

Tolerance Story 4: Cigarette Story

Once, several buddies went to a friend’s house to watch football.

Men cannot watch football without cigarettes. It wasn't until the end of the game that we realized that we had smoked three packs of cigarettes without knowing it. My friend’s wife also stayed with us. However, she didn't say anything. Just open the windows and let the fresh air in when we are not paying attention. We thought it was strange. Why don't you care about him smoking like this with us? a buddy asked.

My friend’s wife smiled slightly and said: I also know that smoking is harmful to health, but if smoking makes him happy, why should I stop him? I pray that my husband can live happily to the age of 60, rather than reluctantly live to the age of 80. After all, a person's happiness cannot be bought at any time or with money.

When we saw this friend again, he had quit smoking. When asked why, he smiled naively and said: She can think about my happiness, and I can't let myself leave her 20 years early.

Story 5: Marriage Past

An old mother told the guests her secret to keeping her marriage happy on the day of her 50th golden wedding anniversary. She said: "From the day I got married, I was ready to list 10 shortcomings of my husband. For the happiness of our marriage, I promised myself that whenever he made any of these 10 mistakes, I would Everyone is willing to forgive him. "Someone asked, what are those 10 shortcomings? She replied: "To tell you the truth, in the past 50 years, I have never listed these 10 shortcomings in detail. Whenever my husband does something wrong and makes me jump with anger, I immediately remind myself: Forget it. He is lucky, he made one of the 10 mistakes I can forgive. "

This story tells us: In the long journey of marriage, the sun will not always shine and the flowers will bloom. , there are also summer heat, winter cold, wind, frost, snow and rain. Faced with some small conflicts in life, if you can learn tolerance and tolerance like that old mother, you will find that happiness is actually around you.

In life, tolerance is really an indestructible force. Friends who tolerate each other will stay together through thick and thin; couples who tolerate each other will grow old together; a world that tolerates each other will be peaceful and beautiful. We all might as well be more tolerant and more tolerant?

Lin Xiangru's retainers thought he was afraid of Lian Po, but Lin Xiangru said: "Qin did not dare to invade Zhao because of me and General Lian. My tolerance and concession to General Lian was to put the country's danger first and my personal safety." Put your personal grudges behind you!" When Lian Po heard this, the story of Lian Po "asking for forgiveness" began.

After reading it, his family felt that Dong Duxing was right. So he took the initiative to give up a few feet when building a house.

2. Tolerance is the supreme virtue in human life. Because tolerance contains the human soul, because tolerance can transcend everything, because tolerance requires a broad heart.

The lack of tolerance will cause the personality to deteriorate from greatness to even less than ordinary.

(4) Extended reading of the story of tolerance:

1. Ordinary "tolerance", that is, to forgive others for their temporary faults, not to waste money, not to hold grudges, and to be kind and kind. Be a generous person with anger. Tolerance and gentleness are often more effective than excessive revenge when encountering conflicts. It is like a cup of clear spring, which can wipe away the temporary hostility between each other and make people calm down, so that they can see the original cause of things clearly. At the same time, I also saw myself clearly.

2. Tolerance not only melts each other's ice, but also radiates the heat of love into each other's hearts. In an era that has been commented by some as "materialistic", where the bottom-up space is shrinking day by day, isn't it the tolerance that happens between two horses that people lack? Choosing tolerance means choosing understanding and tenderness, and at the same time choosing the vastness of life.

3. The famous writer Fang Long once quoted the definition of tolerance from the "British Encyclopedia" in his famous book "Tolerance": Tolerance is to allow others to act or judge freely; to tolerate others patiently and without prejudice. Opinions that are inconsistent with one's own views or accepted views. The definition of tolerance in my country's modern Chinese dictionary is: being generous and magnanimous, without caring or pursuing.

2. Tolerance is a kind of wisdom and power. Mr. Tao Xingzhi’s Four Candies

As early as half a century ago, Mr. Tao Xingzhi put forward the ideas of democracy and tolerance. Infiltrate it into your own educational practice and let them play a wonderful role.

When Mr. Tao Xingzhi was the principal, one day he saw a boy hitting his classmate with a brick, so he stopped him and asked him to go to the principal's office. When Principal Tao returned to the office, the boy was already waiting there. Tao Xingzhi took out a candy and gave it to this classmate: "This is to reward you, because you arrived at the office before me." Then he took out another candy and said: "This is for you too. I won't let you hit your classmate. If you stop immediately, it shows that you respect me."

The boy took the second candy doubtfully, and Mr. Tao said: As far as I know, you hit your classmate because he bullied girls, which shows that you have a sense of justice. I will reward you with another candy.

At this time, the boy was so moved that he cried and said, "Principal, I was wrong. No matter how wrong my classmates are, I can't take this approach."

Mr. Tao took out another candy and said: "You have admitted your mistake. I will reward you with another candy." My candy was finished and our conversation was over.

3. Tolerance is a kind of wisdom and strength. A friend of Guan and Bao

Guan Zhong was a native of Qi in the Spring and Autumn Period. When he was young, he did business with Bao Shuya. When he made money and divided the accounts, Guan Zhong always took more. Everyone was very angry. Bao Shuya said: Guan Zhong is not a person who is greedy for petty gains. He takes more because his family is poor. I am willing to let him take more.

Later, Guan Zhong joined the army. Every time he fought, he huddled at the back, and when retreating, he ran to the front. Others called him a coward. Bao Shuya stepped forward to stop others from laughing at him, saying that the reason why Guan Zhong was like this was He did it because he had an old mother at home who needed his support.

After hearing these words, Guan Zhong was very moved and said: It is my parents who gave birth to me, but it is Bao Shuya who can truly understand me! From then on, the two of them became friends of life and death.

But it is said that Qi Xianggong had two sons. The eldest son was called Jiu, and his mother was from the state of Lu; the younger son was called Xiaobai, and his mother was from the state of Ju. Guan Zhong said to Bao Shuya: After the death of Duke Xiang of Qi, either Jiu or Xiaobai will succeed to the throne. Now we are going to teach Jiu and Xiaobai respectively. No matter which one of them becomes the king, we will recommend each other.

Bao Shuya thought this was a good idea, so Guan Zhong became Gongzi Jiu's teacher, and Bao Shuya became Gongzi Xiaobai's teacher.

Duke Xianggang of Qi was a foolish king and was killed by his ministers. At that time, Young Master Jiu was in the State of Lu, and Young Master Xiaobai was in the State of Ju. The ministers decided to welcome Young Master Jiu back to the country to become king.

The state of Lu sent people to escort young master Jiu back to the country, and the state of Ju sent people to escort young master Xiaobai back to the country. Guan Zhong was afraid that Xiaobai would return home first, so he caught up with young master Xiaobai and shot him with an arrow. Prince Xiaobai pretended to be hit by an arrow and deceived Guan Zhong. Then he and Bao Shuya quickly returned to Qi and became the king of Qi, namely Duke Huan of Qi.

Duke Zhuang of Lu was very angry when he heard that his son Xiaobai had become the king, so he sent troops to attack Qi, but he was defeated and returned. Under the pressure of Qi, Lu killed Jiu and sent Guan Zhong back to Qi.

Duke Huan of Qi wanted Bao Shuya to be the prime minister. Bao Shuya said, "Guan Zhong is a man of great talent. He is ten times better than me. I hope the king will not regret him for shooting you and let him be the prime minister."

Duke Huan thought for a while and said: OK, I will meet him first to see what he is capable of.

Duke Huan of Qi chose a day to personally bring Guan Zhong to the palace, and Guan Zhong discussed his policy of governing the country with Duke Huan of Qi. Guan Zhong spoke eloquently, and Duke Huan of Qi listened with great interest. The two talked continuously for three days and three nights. Duke Huan of Qi was very happy and handed over all the affairs of the country to Guan Zhong, calling him Zhongwen.

After Guan Zhong died, Duke Huan of Qi asked Bao Shuya to be the prime minister. Bao Shuya said: I am too clear-minded about good and evil, so I may not be qualified for the job. In order to make Bao Shuya the prime minister, Duke Huan of Qi drove his three favorite villains out of the palace, and Bao Shuya became the prime minister.

4. There is a story in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in which Zhuge Liang captured Meng Huo seven times.

After Liu Bei's death, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu, prepared for the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains. At that time, in the southern part of the Shu Kingdom, at the junction of Yunnan and Guizhou, Meng Huo, the chief of the ethnic minority, launched a rebellion. Zhuge Liang decided to personally lead the troops to quell the rebellion and relieve this worry first. Some people suggested that sending a general south would be enough to destroy Meng Huo, and the prime minister would not have to go deep into that barren land. But Zhuge Liang had a longer-term consideration. He wanted to treat Meng Huo with both kindness and power to win over people's hearts.

Meng Huo was brave and heroic, and he was very prestigious among the ethnic minorities. Zhuge Liang ordered his men not to hurt Meng Huo but to capture him alive.

In the first battle, the Shu army, under the command of Zhuge Liang, captured Meng Huo. When the soldiers escorted Meng Huo into the camp, Zhuge Liang personally untied him and asked people to prepare a banquet in his honor.

The next day, after Zhuge Liang accompanied him to visit the Shu army camp, he asked Meng Huo: How is our military camp? Meng Huo not only did not praise it, but said: It's just that. I didn't know your reality before, so I was defeated. Now I have seen your deployment. If you let me go back, I will definitely defeat you in another fight.

Zhuge Liang smiled and let Meng Huo go. A few days later, Meng Huo led his troops to challenge, but was defeated and captured again. Meng Huo still refused to admit defeat, so Zhuge Liang let him go again.

Meng Huo fought again and again with Zhuge Liang, fighting seven times in a row and being captured seven times. For the last time, Meng Huo was escorted to the Shu army camp. The soldiers passed down Zhuge Liang's general order and said: The prime minister did not want to see Meng Huo again, so he ordered Meng Huo to be sent back so that he could reorganize his troops and come back to decide the outcome.

Meng Huo thought for a long time and said: Seven captures and seven attempts have never happened since ancient times. The prime minister has given me a lot of respect. Although I don’t have much knowledge, I still understand the principles of life. How could you not give the Prime Minister face like that? After speaking, he knelt on the ground and said with tears: Prime Minister Tianwei, we will never rebel again!

Zhuge Liang was very happy and quickly helped Meng Huo up and asked He entered the camp, hosted a banquet, and finally politely sent Meng Huo out of the camp and asked him to go back.

From then on, Meng Huo surrendered to the Shu Han wholeheartedly. He did not rebel until Zhuge Liang's death. This objectively cleared away worries for the Shu Han to send troops to the Central Plains, and greatly promoted the stability of life and economic development of the ethnic minorities in southwest China. The wisdom of tolerance:

Zhuge Liang captured Meng Huo seven times, demonstrating wisdom and tolerance to the fullest, and won long-term peace and stability.

Tolerance is acceptance, accepting all rivers, regardless of past grudges, and embracing everything with a broad mind. Only those who can accept the world can gain the world. The reason why successful people achieve great things is that they know how to tolerate.

5. Tolerance is a kind of wisdom and strength. Tolerance is a kind of kindness

Picasso didn’t care about the fake paintings pretending to be his works and was never particular about them. When I see forgeries of his paintings, the most I can do is black out the forged signatures.

Why should I make such a fuss? Picasso said that people who make fake paintings are either poor painters or old friends. I'm Spanish and I can't quarrel with my old friends. Moreover, those experts who authenticate the authenticity also have to eat, and I don’t suffer much.

6: Napoleon’s Tolerance

Napoleon developed the virtue of tolerating others during his long military career. As the commander-in-chief of the army, he often criticized soldiers, but every time he was not domineering and could take good care of the soldiers' emotions. Soldiers often readily accepted his criticism and were full of love and gratitude for him, which greatly enhanced the combat effectiveness and cohesion of his army and became a powerful force on the European continent.

In a battle to conquer Italy, the soldiers were very hard. Napoleon patrolled the sentry at night. During the patrol, he found a patrol soldier asleep leaning against a big tree. He did not wake up the soldier, but picked up his gun and stood guard for him. About half an hour later, the sentry woke up from his sleep. He recognized his supreme commander and was very frightened.

Napoleon was not angry. He said to him kindly: Friend, this is your gun. You have fought hard and walked such a long way. It is understandable and tolerable that you fell asleep, but At present, a moment's negligence may ruin the entire army. I happened not to be sleepy, so I stood for you for a while. Be careful next time.

Napoleon did not curse, did not reprimand loudly, and did not put on the airs of a marshal. Instead, he criticized the soldiers' mistakes in a serious and gentle manner. With such a generous marshal, how could the soldiers not fight bravely? If Napoleon did not tolerate the soldiers, it would only increase the soldiers' sense of resistance, lose his own prestige among the soldiers, and weaken the army's combat effectiveness.

⑥ A story about tolerance

Let me tell you a copy. According to legend, there was an abbot in ancient times who had a very high moral character. He was usually kind, helped the poor, and made many good friends. Because of this, she was deeply respected and loved by the people within a hundred miles. It is said that one day, a girl in the village at the foot of the mountain became pregnant because of her secret love with her sweetheart. This was an immoral thing in ancient times. The girl's family was very angry and blamed the girl. At the same time, when they asked who the man was, the girl did not dare to tell the truth about her boyfriend. Under repeated questioning by her family, the girl said she was the abbot against her will. So after the child was born, the family immediately sent the child to the abbot and gave him the child. The abbot cursed him a lot. But the abbot did not defend himself and took the child. The abbot's status in people's minds plummeted, and his reputation as a "hypocrite" and "old pervert" spread far and wide. Wherever he went, there were people asking him. Spit, the saddest thing is that in order to prevent the child from starving, the old abbot has to drag his old body through the streets to find milk for the child every day. After a long time, the girl finally found her conscience and the family spoke out The truth was revealed, and her boyfriend also stood up and took responsibility, and insisted on marrying the woman. So the family found the abbot, apologized to the abbot, and held an apology ceremony. When others asked why they had to marry the woman when it was not their fault. To take the blame, the abbot replied: "If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?" From then on, the abbot became more respected, and after his death, people built monuments to commemorate him.
