“Filial piety is the first of all virtues, and filial piety is the foundation of virtue.” China is a country that attaches great importance to filial piety, which is a traditional virtue in our country. When I read the first chapter of the "Book of Filial Piety", a familiar sentence appeared in front of me: "The hair and skin of the body are received by parents, and they dare not damage them. This is the beginning of filial piety." It turns out that it comes from the "Jing of Filial Piety".
The translation is as follows:
Our body and life are given by our parents, and for parents, their children’s health and happy growth are their greatest satisfaction; It is also very unfilial to hurt one's own body or even to make one's parents worried, which is also a great harm to the parents. Therefore, taking good care of our bodies and loving ourselves is filial piety to our parents.
In today's society, many people do not take their health seriously, lead irregular lives, have bad living habits, often stay up late, smoke, drink, overeat, etc., which make the body's sub-health state worse and worse. The more serious it is; when some people encounter setbacks and blows, they will hurt their bodies at will, or even give up their own lives. It is extremely unfilial to not cherish themselves and not consider the feelings of their parents.
Nowadays, we often see news about empty nesters and the elderly, which makes people feel special. "You raised me and I will grow old with you" should not just appear in lyrics and articles. Just as parents are unwilling to miss the growth of their children, we should not miss their aging either. "Old", I sincerely hope that parents can have something to rely on, have something to support, have something to be happy about, and have something to do in their old age.
The following is the meditation part:
This sea is very blue, and on the endless sea, seagulls are flying freely, some are spreading their wings, some are chasing and playing, and fluttering from time to time With wings flying; some were fishing happily, and others were singing happily...
After the excitement, the sea surface became calm, and there was a slightly smaller seagull, pecking at it one after another. From the sea, a calm and gentle voice came from the sea: "Little seagull, what's wrong? Are you worried?"
The little seagull lowered his head and said, "I really want to fly like other seagulls. Go to a very far place and have a look on the other side of the mountain. I haven’t been there yet..."
The sea was still lapping the waves slowly, and another voice came: "You can do it too. Have you encountered any problems?"
The little seagull said dullly: "My wings are not strong enough and I am still very thin. I am afraid that I can't climb that mountain or reach that far. "
Dashan seemed to hear the little seagull's answer, and heard a hearty voice: "Little seagull, don't be afraid, can you fly to the top of this mountain? If you can, just hold on a little longer. We have crossed this mountain. Although this mountain is very tall, it is not as scary as you think." A gentle voice came from the sea: "Yes, little seagull, don't be afraid, we are. I will always be behind you and support you. Starting from tomorrow, you will practice flying over this mountain every day and bring me a flower until you can confidently fly to where you want to go. Come on!"
"Really? Can I do it?" The little seagull's voice began to get excited.
"Yes, you have to believe in yourself!" The mountains and the sea answered in the affirmative in unison.
In the following days, the little seagull always flew hard, flying hard over the mountain, bringing a wild flower from the foot of the mountain and then to the sea.
Until one day, the shadow of the little seagull has not been seen in the sea, but it is still waiting patiently.
After many days, the figure of the little seagull appeared, bringing beautiful flowers that had never been seen before to the sea, and exciting good news: "I did it! I can also fly to the other side of the mountain, In a place so far away..."
Happy laughter seems to come from the mountains and the sea. The sea is still so quiet and peaceful, and the mountains are still so majestic and majestic...
