At present, there are three students who read with me every morning, two in grade one and one in grade five. After reading this poem this morning, I talked to them about Buddhism. Some people may think, what does such a young child talk about? You got it? Actually, this is an inaccurate understanding of life.
In fact, I only started to get in touch with these in the first grade of primary school, and it was already a very late start. In fact, when everyone was still in his mother's womb, he began to be conscious, conscious and able to understand many profound things. That's why the so-called "prenatal education" is really useful. According to historical records, when Zhou Wenwang's mother was pregnant, she didn't watch evil songs, listen to lewd and rude voices, or say anything arrogant. I never even sleep crooked, sit crooked or stand limping. What's more, I don't even eat food that is cut inappropriately and smells fishy. I won't sit on the mat and let the musicians recite poems at night. In fact, it means that all the information you pass on to the fetus is pure, noble and beneficial. Therefore, Ji Chang was born smart. If you teach him too much, he will know ten. People all admire this because of Tairen's good prenatal education.
Therefore, from the perspective of learning, if parents understand education, they must let themselves listen to many pure and elegant classics with their fetuses during prenatal education, so that most children are born smarter and have higher understanding. I witnessed this with my own eyes. I have come into contact with several extremely smart and sensitive children.
On the contrary, many adults are influenced by the acquired environment and ideas from birth, becoming more and more biased and narrow-minded, self-righteous, and less and less intelligent and savvy. Children are naive, but they are more simple and open-minded, can accept anything, and can observe and think without prejudice. At this time, if you are indoctrinated with all kinds of fallacies, it is easy to form an acquired concept and become more and more stubborn. At this time, if we can effectively guide them to read widely and widely, it will be easy to lay a broad ideological vision and life pattern.
I focused on one word: Shuiyue. It is in the eyes of Buddhists that everything in the world is a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water. It looks very bright, bright and real, but it is not so real, but in fact it is like a reflection. For example, Zou Jiahui (one of them) recited a poem last night. His back was dizzy and his eyes were full of tears. He doesn't even know the simplest words. He must have been very angry then. But it felt real. Looking back now, is it still so real? Can you still see it? Can you still see and touch yourself in tears last night? That self, as well as the mood at that time, what the teacher said at that time, now, isn't it like a mirage, a dream bubble? ..... In fact, at this moment, you can't touch yourself at the last minute. Now you are reading after breakfast, and you can't touch yourself after breakfast ... So, if you can look at the things in front of you in this way, your heart will be much calmer, and you will not be shaken by the pressure of study and the teacher's criticism, and you will be more focused and efficient in taking your own way and doing your own thing. If you study and live with this attitude, your mind will be much simpler, your mind will be much smarter and your body and mind will be much more relaxed and happy. ...
? In fact, as the poem says, "Shuiyue is as quiet as your faith, and ichthyosaurs follow your chanting", Shuiyue can communicate Zen with them and ichthyosaurs can listen to Brahma. The infinite wisdom of Buddhism is like a shower of compassion, which can nourish all beings equally. Once upon a time, there was a monk talking to a pile of stones. A couple of birds heard about Buddhism, thinking that only human beings, the spirit of all things, could return to their original nature, so they ran over and died, reincarnated as human beings, and heard about Buddhism. Of course, we don't advocate becoming a monk or a monk. Now that Buddhism has come to an end, there are too many chaos, and it is easy to go astray and unconsciously. What our education advocates is to integrate Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism and the West at all times and in all countries, to gain a deeper insight into the fate of the universe and life with a broader vision, so as to face real life more intelligently.
You don't have to think that children don't understand. It is important to create a subtle, little by little edification, long-term contribution, self-wise environment. Sometimes I listen with relish and smile; Sometimes it sounds like listening to gobbledygook, clouds and mountains; Sometimes I scratch my head and frown; Sometimes it is normal to dance in surprise. As long as it continues to disturb their hearts and minds and can have a fair direction to lead and run through, that is good.
At the age of six, Sima Guang followed his father to listen to the discussion of adults. How many words did he understand at first? Finally, he created a master historian. When Li Zeju and Li Zekai were eight or nine years old, Li Ka-shing asked his son to sit in a special chair to attend a high-level meeting. How many words did they understand at first? It is said that at first, the two brothers were more interested in novelty and fun. Once I saw my father and the directors discussing their work, everyone was flushed, blowing their beards and glaring. The two brothers were scared to tears. At this moment, Li Ka-shing said, "Don't be afraid, children, we are fighting for work. It's normal, we can't get past the wood, and we can't argue clearly! " ..... It is conceivable that such edification has had a great influence on the extraordinary achievements of the two sons today. And the edification of culture, the accumulation of knowledge, the opening of wisdom and the tempering of thinking are not the same.

Original poem:
Send the monk back to Japan
Don Qian Qi
You can come to China whenever you have the opportunity; The road is foggy and the ship is sailing in a dream.
Tianhai floated up again, and the boat sailed to the edge of the distance; Beyond the mundane, you will naturally feel the light of Fa Zhou.
The mood is quiet, and everything is as unreal as water and moon; The inner government of Shiguo will come out to listen to your chanting.
The most lovely thing is that there is a Buddha lamp that illuminates the soul; Sailing in Wan Li, your eyes are always bright.
