The "ruling the country by virtue" advocated by China government for many years is amazing! From this place, we can see that China has a bright future. How to implement morality? Start with Disciples Rules! If we don't start with the rules of disciples, morality is just a slogan.
Then deep roots are really disciples' rules, deep roots! The primary schools handed down from ancient times in China are different from our present primary schools. What primary school learns is rooted, the education of ethics and morality, the education of treating people and things, and the education of daily life. Teach you how to be a man and how to be a good person from an early age. Being a good boy at home, being a good student at school and being a good citizen in society are the teaching goals. Therefore, in ancient education, reading was aimed at sages, not making money. Today, if we want to succeed in Buddhism, help this society, resolve contradictions and disasters, and truly achieve stability, peace and happiness, we still need to take root in education. There is no other way.
Tang Enbi believes that only Confucius and Mencius and Mahayana Buddhism can solve the social problems in the 2 1 century. What is the way of Confucius and Mencius? Confucius said benevolent, Mencius said righteous, so you can be a representative. Confucius and Mencius' theory is benevolence and righteousness. Benevolence is love, love education; The word "righteousness", in modern terms, is to serve all beings, do their duty, regardless of remuneration. This is benevolence and righteousness! Righteousness is self-sacrifice, and religion stresses sacrifice and dedication, which is what Confucianism says. Buddhism says that "compassion is the foundation, convenience is the door", "don't do all kinds of evil, all good people pursue and purify themselves", which is Mahayana Buddhism. Really, such principles can really resolve disasters, oppositions, contradictions, misunderstandings and conflicts in pre-modern society and promote social security and peace. A general said it well.
Now it's completely gone! Never mind studying, I have never heard of it. This is the root of social unrest, and we should know it, so we really don't know anything about the ancients in China. He can be popularized by the whole people and society, and men, women and children can learn together. Now everyone knows how to be a good person. Today, everyone understands etiquette and abides by the law, so the country is really peaceful and prosperous. Therefore, this kind of basic education cannot be ignored.
In the past two years in China, I have heard children in China read the Bible, which should be a movement for several years. There is a professor Wang Caigui in Taiwan Province who preaches everywhere in Chinese mainland. I was in Hong Kong two months ago and he came to see me. Although it is counterproductive to encourage children to read the Bible, what is the reason? Reading classics is a good thing. If you don't follow the procedures of the ancients, there will be problems. Children have a good memory and read more books, surpassing their parents. The high arch held me back. It is a very serious problem to look down on parents at home and teachers at school. So I talked about the importance of disciple rules. He didn't discuss the problem with me. I've heard that people say they don't attach importance to disciple rules and don't advocate learning. No! Disciples' Rules is fundamental! What does the Disciple Rule teach? It teaches people to be filial to their parents and respect their elders. You have filial piety and respect, and it is right to enrich it. Just like building a house, filial piety is a steel bar, a pillar or a pillar. You do this well first, and then build the wall to decorate it. This is a skeleton! More important than anything else, he doesn't have this thing, of course, there will be problems.
