Chapter 531: Saving others is equivalent to saving yourself
Nian Fu said: "Tell me, it may also be a matter of fate, I have been here for so long, I met Chu Chu earlier than you, you said that you were accepted as an apprentice by Lu Dongbin, but I am a stupid person here, and I am still looking at it here, which immortal can be taken alike!" ”
Xiao Tianshu said: "Hehe, why is this trouble? Now Lu Zu can't look down on you, oh! No, Lu Zu didn't see you at all! Maybe, if you see it, you don't necessarily look down on you. Besides, even if Lu Zu doesn't accept apprentices, maybe there are other immortals who can see you......"
Nian Fu said: "Something else, other immortals? Who the hell is it? Can there be other immortals in my life......"
Thinking about it, the chances are slim! I don't know which fox fairy my ancestor offended, and now he has been ruined and destroyed, unrecognizable, one generation is worse than the next, and the generation is shorter than the generation, you say that a person doesn't even have a life, what chance is there to get the guidance of the fairy master!
Xiao Tianshu said with a smile: "Of course, there are chrysanthemums that are fancied, don't think about it anymore, these things only look at chance, and they haven't come yet, but the time is not right, when the time comes, it's easy to say, "Tao Te Ching" says: The way of heaven is beneficial but not harmful, and the way of the saint is not to fight. Lao Tzu's purpose of preaching the way of heaven and nature is nothing more than to let people learn from nature and learn the pure heart and precious personality of the saint. ”
Nian Fu said: "You say, am I not as good as you? How do you usually behave, and do you have any rules and lessons? Or do you say that your master taught you some family precepts or ancestral precepts, tell me about it, and I will also learn and ......"
Xiao Tianshu said with a smile: "This master doesn't teach anything, but he teaches the Tao Te Ching, and the master often says that only kindness can last." If you are an honest and honest person, you will definitely be favored by God. ”
Nian Fu said: "What is it, what is it that honest people should do?" ”
Xiao Tianshu said: "First, the personality is strong, and the foundation of one's life
Lao Ziyun: The big husband is thick, not informal, practical, and unrestrained.
Our ancestors talked about the "way of loyalty and forgiveness" and the "way of heaven" because they wanted to teach us how to behave. The gentleman stands up with generosity, does not live in shallowness, simplicity and innocence, and does not live in flashiness. If you want to accumulate the thickness of your personality, you must be sincere, kind, pragmatic and simple. Don't worry about small things, don't be confused about big rights and wrongs, and think about others before yourself. ”
Nian Fu said: "This sounds too honest, is it easy to be bullied?" Are there any examples of this, and how have you lived? ”
Xiao Tianshu said: "The Tang Dynasty judge Ren Dijian was late for the banquet and punished him for drinking according to the rules. The guards were negligent for a moment, and even presented the vinegar jug as a wine jug. As a result, Ren Dijian took a sip, unbearably sour, and was about to be reminded. It suddenly occurred to me that if it was broken at this time, the guards would not be able to escape the scourge of killing. So, Ren Dijian gritted his teeth and drank it all. Legend has it that at that time, he "vomited blood and returned". When the news of this incident came out, the city was full of sensations. Everyone was amazed by Ren Dijian's character. This kind of kindness is the heart of the husband, and it is the bearing and responsibility. Kindness is a kind of heart, but also a kind of bosom. It abandons the worldly calculations and releases the tremendous power that accommodates hundreds of rivers. ”
Nian Fu said: "Hey! Sure enough, it earned a reputation for losing money......"
Xiao Tianshu thought to himself, this year after year, this is not very clear, and I don't get along with him much, and I don't know what he thinks in his heart, I didn't expect that he was a blind cat who killed a mouse, and said a few words to him, he felt that his heart was upset, and he thought that things were quite extreme, did he really have to talk to him about this look......
Xiao Tianshu said: "Second, be kind to others, establish the foundation of life, Lao Ziyun: things are either damaged and overflowing, or overflowing and damaged. Lao Tzu believes that the extremes of things must be opposed, and when the instruments are full, they will be tilted. Don't do more than the limit, and don't make the mistake of thinking that you will lose yourself by giving for others. When we do what we can to fulfill others, our gains are immeasurable. But to do good deeds, don't ask about the future, what we do is actually fulfilling ourselves. A farmer was working when he found a young boy struggling in a swamp and calling for help. So I ran over and rescued him. ”
Nian Fu smiled: "This sounds good, how is it?" ”
Xiao Tianshu said: "The boy's father was a wealthy businessman. In order to repay the farmer for saving his son, he paid for the farmer's son to attend the best local medical school. Decades later, the farmer's son learned and discovered penicillin, a cure for tuberculosis. And the son of a wealthy merchant, in a serious illness, was saved because of this penicillin. The discoverer of penicillin was the famous medical scientist Fleming, and the son of the saved wealthy merchant was British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. Life is a wonderful cycle, and when we help others, we will also receive gifts from others in different forms. Being kind to others is the basic principle of everyone's life, and only in this way can we be as peaceful and serene as the ancient sages expected. ”
Nian Fu said: "Ah! How blessed ......"
Xiao Tianshu said: "This is not a blessing from God, this is a blessing they have accumulated by themselves, which is equivalent to doing good deeds, and finally saving their own life, or saving their son's life......"
Nian Fu smiled: "That's right......"
Xiao Tianshu said: "Third, modesty and kindness, the source of success, Lao Ziyun: it is not self-righteous in the end, so it can become great." The strength of a person is not the rhetoric of eloquence, but the strength of convincing. A respectable person is often a person who is talented, modest, and discreet. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the patriot Kong Yu was modest, studious, diligent and down-to-earth. After his death, the monarch of the country gave him the title of "Wen", and people honored him as "Confucius Wenzi". Confucius had a student named Zigong, who was also a patriot. He thinks that Kong Yu is not called "Kong Wenzi" as people say, and he is overrated. He felt that he could not understand, so he went to Confucius for advice. Zigong said: "What is so great about Kong Wenzi, why should he be given the title of 'Wen'?" Confucius replied: "Confucius was intelligent and studious, and had the courage to humbly ask for advice from those whose status and knowledge were inferior to his own. and not to feel ashamed, so give him the title of 'Wen'. When Zigong heard Confucius say this, he immediately felt happy and convinced. Throughout the ages, loyalty and honesty have always been the unchanging creed in dealing with people. If you are loyal, you will be favored by God after all; Acting loyally will surely win the recognition and respect of others. If you have kind friends around you, please cherish them. ”
Nian Fu smiled and said: "Hahaha, my good friends around me, like you and Chu Chu, are good people, I know how to cherish it, your purpose has been achieved, I have been educated, hahaha......"
