Those who love going out love to return, and those who have gone have been blessed to come.
A person with a kind heart can live his life as a ray of sunshine, and he will shine brightly no matter where he is.
Kindness is sometimes a soft voice; sometimes it is a subtle action; sometimes it is a scene of life; sometimes it is a kind of generous tolerance.
But kindness, more often than not, is just a kind intention.
The opening chapter of the "Three Character Classic", a textbook for elementary school students, says: "At the beginning of human beings, nature is good. Nature is similar, but habits are far apart. If you don't teach, nature will change."
Kindness is human nature. . The heart's desire to be kind is the return of the soul to its original nature and the eternal destination of human nature.
Those who love others will always be loved by others, and those who respect others will be respected by others.
Kindness will teach people sincerity, kindness will teach people respect, kindness will teach people integrity, and kindness will teach people tolerance.
Kindness is the seed for creating a better life. Kind people will be blessed later.
Kind-hearted people, like the spring breeze, like summer flowers, like autumn grains, like the winter sun, bring warmth to others and warmth to society.
Laozi's "Tao Te Ching" says that "the best good is like water", and "water" has "seven good things": "Living in a good place, having a good heart, being kind and benevolent, speaking good faith, governing righteously and well, doing good things, being able to do good things." Good times. "
Human kindness is like the character of water, benefiting all things without competing, so no one in the world can compete with it.
So, kindness is a broad mind and a great wisdom in life.
The Holy Instructions of Emperor Guan said: "Read good books, speak good words, do good deeds, and be a good person."
The Sutra of Emperor Guan's Enlightenment says: "All good deeds should be carried out with confidence; although people have not seen them, gods have already heard about them; blessings and longevity are increased, children and grandchildren are added; disasters are eliminated and diseases are reduced, and disasters are not invaded; people Xianning, the auspicious star is shining."
It is all about teaching all living beings to have a kind intention.
If people's hearts are good, although blessings have not yet arrived, disasters have been far away.
Kindness can turn obstacles into a smooth path and suffering into happiness.
"Tai Shang Inspiration Chapter" says: "The husband's mind originates from good, and although the good is not done, the good fortune has followed; or the mind originates from evil, and although the evil has not been done, the evil spirit has followed. . ”
Good and evil are like the seesaw that keeps rising and falling in the human heart. Good thoughts give rise to evil thoughts. With kind thoughts throughout your life, blessings and good luck will gradually increase, and disasters and diseases will gradually decrease. vice versa.
When blessings accumulate to a certain extent, danger can be turned into safety, and misfortune can be turned into blessing. Don't say that good people are not rewarded. Good deeds will be rewarded with good deeds, and you need to wait until the merits are completed, and you will be blessed in your soul and avoid disasters.
Wen Zhengming, a talented man of the Ming Dynasty, was known as the "Four Talents of Wuzhong" together with Tang Bohu, Zhu Zhishan and Xu Zhenqing. He was highly respected in the literary world for his noble character and kind-heartedness.
Wen Zhengming and Tang Bohu were born in the same year, but their destinies were very different. One was extremely talented, while the other was a late bloomer.
Tang Bohu was able to write big characters at the age of 5, read and recite his books, and compose poetry at the age of 9. He was called a "child prodigy". At the age of 15, he was ranked first in the Affiliated School of Suzhou Prefecture. At the age of 28, he ranked first in the Zhongying Tianfu Township Examination and was known as Tang Jieyuan.
Wen Zhengming could not speak or walk at the age of 2, could still stand unsteadily at the age of 6, and could not speak clearly at the age of 9. He took the provincial examination nine times in his life and failed every time. At the age of 53, he was recommended by Li Chongsi, Minister of the Ministry of Works, to enter Beijing as a tribute student. After assessment by the Ministry of Personnel, he was awarded a position waiting for an imperial edict in the Hanlin Academy.
The turning point in life's destiny often comes from one's own moral cultivation.
After winning the imperial examination, Tang Bohu hung out in the entertainment venues and played and sang every night. Zhu Zhishan used the metaphor of a thousand-mile horse to persuade him to cultivate both internally and externally, and not to be arrogant and willful because of temporary success. Wen Zhengming also used the words of his father Wen Lin to advise Tang Yin: "Ziwei (Tang Bohu) is talented and should be exposed, but he is frivolous and may not succeed in the end; my son will be far away one day and will be out of reach." It means: Tang Bohu, my father said that although you are talented, you are frivolous. If you continue to be willful, you may accomplish nothing. But Tang Bohu was so arrogant that he was not only ungrateful, he even wrote back and said: I was born like this, if you don't like me, don't be friends with me.
The next year, Tang Bohu went to Beijing to take part in the joint examination. He was imprisoned for his involvement in the Xu Jing Examination Case and was dismissed as an official. From then on, he became wild and unrestrained, expressing his love for romance and the moon. When he was poor, he exchanged poems and paintings for wine money. At the age of 54, he spent the rest of his life in loneliness and depression.
Completely different from Tang Bohu's romantic and unrestrained style, Wen Zhengming did not have Tang Bohu's extraordinary intelligence and talent, but he had the diligence to make up for his shortcomings, and he also had the character of being strict with himself and lenient towards others.
After Wen Zhengming became famous in the literary world, a large number of fakes appeared on the market.
Someone caught the forger on the spot and reported it to Wen Zhengming. Wen Zhengming took the forger's work over, looked at it, and said, "This person's artistic level is not lower than mine, but I'm just a little more famous than him." The forger was not pursued. The forger later even took the forgery and asked Wen Zhengming to help him sign and seal it. Wen Zhengming also readily agreed.
The disciples were puzzled and asked him why he condoned the forger.
Wen Zhengming explained: "Anyone who can afford to buy my calligraphy and paintings is from a wealthy family; and most of those who hide their talents and use my name to sell calligraphy and paintings are People from difficult family circumstances.
If he can't sell calligraphy and paintings because of my words, wouldn't it be even more difficult for his family? ”
Wen Zhengming’s kindness and kindness, and his good character of always thinking about others, can be seen from this.
Another time, Wen Zhengming visited a wealthy family. At that time Before the host came out, Wen Zhengming was lying on the bed waiting for him.
Soon, someone sneaked in and looked around. Because the bed was covered by a mosquito net, the man didn't see Wen Zhengming. Wen Zhengming could see him.
The man thought there was no one in the room, so he hid a gold cup on the table in his sleeve and ran away in a hurry.
Wen Zhengming guessed that this person committed the theft because he was poor. When the host came out, Wen Zhengming said to the host: "I have something urgent at home today, so I borrowed your gold cup first. The servant has taken it away. "
The host heard this but did not respond. Wen Zhengming added: "How much is your gold cup worth? If I cannot return it in time, I will compensate you with the same amount of money. The host said, "Okay." ”
After Wen Zhengming returned home, he immediately borrowed the money and repaid it to the owner, and never told the person who stole the gold cup about it.
Wen Zhengming was a noble character, and even Tang Bohu, who had always been arrogant and arrogant, also secretly admired him.
It is said that when Tang Bohu celebrated his fiftieth birthday, he was already in poverty and had abandoned his relatives. Only Wen Zhengming came to celebrate his birthday.
Tang Bohu was moved and wanted to worship Wen Zhengming as his teacher, saying: "I think I can compete with you in terms of artistic achievements in poetry, calligraphy and painting, but in terms of knowledge and conduct. Go ahead, I can only hide my face from you and walk away. ”
As the saying goes, accumulating good deeds can lead to blessings, and accumulating virtue can increase life expectancy.
Wen Zhengming treats others kindly, accumulates virtue and does good deeds, and enjoys a long life. On the day Wen Zhengming died at the age of 90 , still writing epitaphs for others, and passing away sitting upright can be said to be a good death.
This is also the blessing brought by kindness.
"Yi Zhuan" says: "The accumulation of good deeds." Home, there must be more happiness. ”
Wen Zhengming had kind thoughts and lived like a beam of light.
His family was harmonious. He married his wife Wu when he was 22 years old. Since then, he and his wife have been loving and affectionate. We grow old together and love each other for a lifetime.
The descendants and descendants are also shrouded in this kind and holy halo, all of them are clean and outstanding, and their families are prosperous.
The descendants and disciples of the Wen family gather together. The Wumen calligraphy school became popular in the south of the Yangtze River. His son Wen Peng not only inherited the family style in calligraphy and painting, but also founded the Wumen seal cutting school and became the founder of the literati seal cutting school.
Great-grandson Wen. Zhen Yu was an upright man. He was awarded the first prize in the second year of Tianqi's reign and was awarded the title of editor of the Hanlin Academy. He later became the left minister of the Ministry of Rites and a bachelor of Dongge University.
Kindness is the foundation of all blessings in the world.
Ji Xiaolan said in "Notes of Yuewei Thatched Cottage": "Blessings are based on virtue and cannot be prayed for; disasters are based on accumulated evil and cannot be saved. If you can do good, even if you don't sacrifice, God will help you. "
Moral education, blessings from gods, and the final assessment criterion is the kindness of the soul.
Emperor Guan Sheng said in the "Awakening of the World": "Ask for a son and you will get it. Son, if you pray for longevity, you will be blessed with longevity; wealth, honor, fame, and fame will all come true; whatever you pray for, you will get as you wish; all misfortunes will disappear, and thousands of auspicious things will gather; such blessings can only be achieved by good deeds. "
Kindness is not only an intention, but also a belief.
"Liaofan's Four Instructions" said: "Sincerity is in harmony with heaven, blessing is coming, watch. The good must be predicted in advance. When disaster is coming, it is necessary to predict it if it is not good. ”
Kindness is not only a habit, but also a kind of practice.
The cultivation of kindness requires the persistence of morality. Only when you have a yardstick in your heart can you have standards in doing things.
