In "Teacher's Theory", it is said: "A teacher is a teacher, so he preaches and teaches." Among them, preaching ranks first. It can be seen that since ancient times, the requirements for preaching have been very high.
So, what is "Tao"? The so-called "Tao" is truth. To preach is to spread the truth. In the sense of the laws of the world, truth is the way to be a man; In the sense of secular law, truth is the way out. Teachers who spread the truth must understand and practice the truth by themselves, and cannot say one thing and do another. Otherwise, he can't spread the truth. What he can spread can only be truth, knowledge and even some seemingly true fallacies. At present, the most common phenomenon is that many people who don't know the truth are self-righteous in spreading the truth, but they drown out the correct voice. As a result, fewer and fewer people know this truth and practice it. Therefore, it doesn't matter if a person can't do the unity of knowledge and action for the time being. He should at least know where the right direction is, constantly improve his ideological consciousness and actively seek Tao. On this premise, he can guide students to explore the truth. Otherwise, he will only let others fall off the cliff with him.
So, what is karma? This "karma" is different from the karma in Buddhism, but the wisdom gained through study, thinking and practice. In other words, it is a kind of wisdom different from Tao. Many people simply understand it as knowledge in books, but in fact, its significance is far more than that. Like knowledge, it refers to knowledge, thought, realm and so on. It is very important, but it is easy to be understood in a narrow sense.
What is "confusion"? The so-called "confusion" is pain and confusion, which can be divided into two types: one is confusion caused by negative factors such as materialism, greed, ignorance and hatred; The other is the confusion of knowledge, which is caused by cognitive obstacles composed of living environment, learned knowledge and life experience. Solving doubts is to crack and eliminate these two kinds of pain and confusion. However, if you can confuse people, you must first do it yourself. If the teacher himself is still puzzled, pursuing material desires all day, coveting enjoyment, being troubled by the senses and enslaved by material desires every day, pursuing beauty with his eyes, pursuing bel canto with his ears, and pursuing food with six impure roots, even the most basic troubles and puzzles are not broken, how can he solve the students' doubts? How can I be a good teacher? A good teacher must be a true intellectual, social elite, time elite and national elite. There are not many such people. He won't live in a daze like most gangsters and listen to other people's advice. The real elite is by no means a pleasant person, and will not compromise the gangster's remarks. They will try their best to shout with a confused voice, even if they can't wake up an era and the whole world, they will make their own voices. For example, Chen Yinque, Liang Shuming, Ma Yinchu and others.
In their time, everyone was inevitably involved in all kinds of storms. If you stick to yourself, you will face terrible tyranny and prison. However, even in this social environment and background, in order to pursue human truth and world peace, Chen Yinque and others still do not hesitate to confront the mainstream, stick to their own opinions and always tell the truth.
Real intellectuals should at least have the spirit and behavior of responsibility, but today, with the infinite expansion of desire and the gradual lack of conscience, this statement, including this spirit, has become the laughing stock of gangsters, and under the tide of utilitarianism, almost no response can be heard. This is also the reason why many people are in mediocrity at present.
Therefore, everyone who has yearning, awe and responsibility should not think too much about many possibilities in the future, but keep a sincere yearning heart. Then, under the influence of the spirit of benefiting the people, under the nourishment of the whole world, and under the enlightenment of transcending wisdom, light up your heart and make yourself stronger and more handy day by day. If there is a good chance in the future, he may become a real cultural inheritor, a real intellectual and a real master. If there are more and more such people, the world will add a lot of light.
