"Follow the Tao, and you will surely achieve success"
Dear Teacher Boren, the volunteers who have given great love, and the families of the eighth session of the Duxing Class, hello everyone!
It has been nearly a hundred days since I entered the Duxing class. I have become accustomed to listening to guided readings, reading original texts, and studying excellent homework every day. I have learned more and more deeply about my husband’s wisdom and mind. When selfish desires strike, you can control yourself and your heart will no longer be constrained by selfish desires. The sense of self-identity is gradually improved. I no longer care about other people's evaluation of myself, and I will not be easily influenced by other people's evaluation of myself. I will not be easily proud and complacent, and I will not be easy to belittle myself. My inner joy will become more and more pure. Work and life are getting better and better. Thanks to Yangming Xinxue.
This week, I had a profound feeling after studying "Preface to Sending Zong Bo Qiao Baiyan" and the introduction of "Follow the Road, Success Will Be Achieved" by Master Boren.
This article is about Qiao Baiyan’s academic discussion with his husband, which is very classic. On our way to study the culture of sages, it gives us great inspiration. We know the direction of our study more clearly, and let us walk more firmly on the bright road to conscience. We must understand that the culture of sages is the root. If we learn the culture of sages well and understand the way of sages, we can manage our perfect life. Without the foundation of sage culture, no matter how much you study, it will be just a castle in the air.
In this article, Mr. Wang proposed the key to learning. Learning is valued for expertise, learning for excellence, and learning for integrity. In today's society, in the era of knowledge explosion, if you are slightly negligent in learning, you will fall behind the times and be abandoned by the times. At this time, the specialization, precision and precision mentioned by Mr. are particularly important. "You forget your taste when you eat, you forget your sleep when you sleep, your eyesight doesn't change, your ears don't change your hearing." Learning requires concentration and excellence. But it is even more necessary to "learn to value integrity" and to return to the path of conscience for the ultimate goal of learning. Dao, the main road. Outside, the path of thorns can be easily reached. We must work hard on the way and seek the way of sages. In today's society, how to understand the way of saints and sages, from a broad perspective, we must have lofty ideals, dedicate ourselves to the country, the nation, and the common people, and not for personal gain. From a small point of view, when you are a person, you must act according to your conscience. If your heart is right, things will be right.
In the face of the epidemic, some people risk their lives, while others flee. In fact, heroes are ordinary people around us. When the motherland needs them, they just act according to their conscience, without hesitation, regardless of life and death, and rush to the most dangerous front line. Those who run away from battle have lost their most basic conscience. Even if there is no epidemic, their lives will be constrained by various selfish desires. Responsibility and dedication have never been absent from their lives. They care more about their own fame and gain, so all their efforts are only for themselves and their own comfort zone. These exquisite egoists , further and further away from the Tao.
Fortunately, we hold hands with the saints and embark on the bright road to conscience. We must always be alert to whether expertise, precision, and integrity are based on the way of sages, conscience, and justice. Only by working hard on the path and truly understanding the laws of all operations can we be truly specialized, precise, and correct. . "That's why he specializes in Tao, which is called specialization. He is good at Tao, which is called essence. He who specializes in chess but not Tao is specialization. He is good at words but not Tao, which is eccentric." The real By following the Tao and accumulating our own virtues, our life path will become smoother and smoother, and our interpersonal relationships with the people around us will become more and more harmonious. The way of sages and conscience is the bright road. Only by working hard on the way can we realize our perfect life. If we work hard on external techniques and deviate from the direction of the way, it will be a thorny road and it will be difficult to reach the ideal shore.
This mind is unmoved, and all kinds of things are born in it. Follow the road of conscience and reach the other side of success.
Thank you Mr. Yangming! Thanks to Tutor Boren! Thanks to the class committee volunteers!
