Chapter 489: I Have a Good Heart
Bai Gyu explained: "Why? The reason is that he has not formed a scale, a climate, and an organization that has inherited and continued! He has only one heir, you. And you! Now there is no fame, not many people believe you as a young man.
And Confucius! Three thousand disciples. The most famous disciple was seventy-two people, and all of them helped him spread Confucianism from generation to generation. It is precisely because of this that Confucianism will inevitably become stronger in the future, surpassing Moxue and Taoism ......"
Zhuangzi didn't debate with his father-in-law anymore, he didn't want to argue, he already knew what his father-in-law meant. That day, Zhao Dacheng revealed some information to him.
At this time, it no longer makes sense to argue with Yuezhang about the disadvantages of Confucianism. Yuezhang is a drunkard, he doesn't mean to drink, he is not talking about the right and wrong of Confucianism or Taoism, but! He is talking about how to spread his own doctrine and ideas.
How to spread!
How to spread more effectively?
The way Confucianism spreads is worth learning!
So! The old man, Bai Gui, meant: I want him to change the way of transmission.
In fact! Master Yang Zhu's contribution to Taoism is also indispensable.
However, due to the characteristics of Taoism itself, it is not as flamboyant as Moxue and Confucianism. People who truly understand Taoism are generally reluctant to become prominent in today's world. They were "wise and self-preservation" and did not want to risk their lives to preach, which caused the obscurity of Taoism.
In fact! Taoism is truly the first school in the world.
Survive! How to survive and live a better life is a philosophy that everyone knows! So! Taoism is the world's first university sect.
Taoism is the science of survival! The study of healing the mind!
And he, along with Master Yang Zhu and those Dharma protectors, was different from most Taoist scholars. Because of their different backgrounds, they were willing to dedicate themselves to Taoism.
A Taoist scholar with a family, the first thing they have to do is to protect themselves, then their families, and then the people around them.
And those of them who have no family, no worries, and who have died once or several times, don't care about death. Anyway, if you die, you will treat yourself as if you are dead. It was with this idea in mind that he went out to spread the word in public.
"What do you mean?" Zhuangzi asked tentatively, "Isn't it?" ”
Seeing his son-in-law ask, Bai Gui smiled with relief. It's really "son-in-law can be taught"! As soon as he said this, his son-in-law understood what he meant.
"Drink!"
"Drink!"
Bai Gui put down the wine glass, looked at Zhuangzi, and nodded with satisfaction.
Zhuangzi picked up the wine jug again and filled it for Master Yue.
"That's what I mean!" Bai Gui glanced towards the door, lowered his voice and said, "I hope you will use this place in the Qiyuan as a base, your Zhuangzi's dojo." ”
"Dojo?" Zhuangzi pretended to be surprised.
"Dojo!" Bai Gui nodded affirmatively and said, "If you go aimlessly to spread Taoism, you will only end up like your master Yang Zhu's predecessors, and you will get nothing!" Nothing has been accomplished! I think! ”
Bai Gui accentuated his tone, and continued: "You first use the method of Taoism to govern the Qiyuan here, so that everyone here believes in Taoism and follows Taoism in life, like this!" Isn't it better? Think about it? You can't even manage such a small place as the Paint Garden, how can you govern the world? What about saving the world? Isn't it? ”
Seeing the old man looking at him, Zhuangzi shook his head and said, "I will govern the place of Qiyuan, as long as it takes about a month, it's okay!" I govern the Song Kingdom, and it will take about a year to govern. I will govern the Great Zhou world, and it will only take about ten years! But? ”
"But what?" Bai Gui asked excitedly.
"But? Let me govern the Great Zhou world, I must have force to ensure it! Without force to protect the Fa, I may not be able to govern it for a hundred years! It's the same with governing the Song Kingdom, without force to protect the Fa, everything is in vain! ”
"That's right! My son-in-law too! Baekyu looked even more excited. After being excited, he lowered his voice and asked, "Where did you get the force?" ”
"So! I had no choice but to travel around the world to preach and try to make as many people as possible aware of the doctrine. ”
"Why don't you form your own force protector?"
"It's not that I don't want to! It's that I don't want to start a war, I don't want to drag the people into the war, and I don't want to lose their lives! I don't want to be insulted by future generations, I don't want to be like Master Yang Zhu, who has obviously contributed to mankind, but he has ended up with a bad title......"
"Your name?"
"No!"
"Then why do you care about fame? Why don't you learn from your master Yang Zhu's predecessors, do what you want to do, and do what is beneficial to the people in the world? ”
"I'm kind-hearted!"
"You have a good heart?"
Hearing Zhuangzi say this, Bai Gui shook his head a little angrily.
"I can't bear to see others die before they live to old age, and I can't bear to see other people's families ruined and wives separated. I can't bear to see the misery of other people's lives, and I can't bear to see other people's lives so miserable.
That's it! It's all the consequences of selfishness and war!
In fact! If we are not so selfish and don't live only for ourselves? We can all live, live well!
It is because some people only care about themselves and live without caring about the life and death of others, that all of us do not live well!
It is because of the selfishness of some people that this society is disturbed.
It is because those people do not understand life and do not know what life is for, that they live so ignorant and disturb society......"
People who don't understand how to live is life, how to live is the best way to live, they still fantasize about the beautiful future, they still plan the life of their children and grandchildren, and they plan the beautiful future of mankind, either self-deception or arrogance.
Speaking of the great principles of life, Zhuangzi sets one by one. Taking this opportunity, he gave his father-in-law a life philosophy lesson.
Bai Gui listened for a while, and then looked at Zhuangzi shaking his head and waving his hand.
interrupted: "You have a point! But? You can't bear to see what you're looking for, and when you keep interrupting, you'll only be able to see this scene forever! This scene is repeated forever in the world.
When you travel all over the Great Zhou world, you will see other people die every day before they live to the end of their lives, and you will see other people's families ruined and wives separated every day. You will see the misery of others every day, and you will see the misery of other people's lives every day.
Since you're not in it for fame, you should be judged! Use Taoism and force to save the world.
Right now! I believe in you the idea of Taoism, you have mastered it all. You also said just now that if there is military protection, you can govern the Song State well in a year or so. If there is a guarantee of force, you can govern the Great Zhou world within ten years. So? Why don't you pursue it? Just like Confucius back then, he pursued persistently and spent his whole life pursuing?
Let alone? All you need is 10 years!
Good! Even if the 10 years you are talking about are under the premise of being guaranteed by force. Right now! I ask you? How many years can you develop your own force? Force! If you don't train you, you won't have force! If you don't organize and cultivate, you will never have your own team! ”
"This?" Zhuangzi was speechless for a moment.
To be honest, he really didn't think about this problem and used force to promote his Taoism and save the world.
