"Can a saint be reached through study?" And deep puzzled.

"It's nature." Luo Hongyun said with a smile.

"So how can I learn to be like Yan Hui?"

Luo Hongyun said: "The essence of heaven and earth generates the five elements, creating the existence of people, and the essence of people is true and quiet, when people are not formed, the nature has all the goodness of benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith, etc., after the formation of the stimulation of external objects and touched the heart of people, then there are seven emotions and six desires, before the emotions are not saturated, when people's emotions reach the point of fiery, people's hearts become shaky, human nature is burned, all wise people choose to restrain their emotions, so that the neutral, in order to nourish nature. ”

"But teacher, what does this have to do with learning?" He Shen was even more puzzled, he didn't understand why it was just a matter of discussing for learning, and why it involved the theory of human cultivation.

Guan Mingyu, the chairman on the side, coughed twice, signaled to be calm, and listened carefully to the teacher's lecture, and the teacher must have a reason for saying this.

Sure enough, Luo Hongyun paused for a moment, took a sip of tea, glanced at the students below, and continued: "Dark people don't know how to restrain their feelings, indulge their feelings, so that they go to evil, restrain their pure and good nature, and let it be lost. ”

After listening to Luo Hongyun's speech, Heshen instantly felt a chill down his spine, the teacher was warning him that he was not enough to restrain himself.

Luo Hongyun continued: "The method of learning lies in the clarity of the heart, knowing the direction of progress and then striving to achieve such a goal, this is the so-called clear sincerity, making oneself sincere, lies in the sincerity of believing in the way of the sage, acting decisively, holding the city, is to be firm, so that loyalty and righteousness will always remain in one's heart, and do not forget at all times, if this is the case for a long time, you will make yourself stable in benevolence and righteousness, and your appearance and demeanor will conform to the etiquette norms, then you can avoid evil, get peace, and take the path of the sage." ”

Yun Ji got up and said: "Teacher, didn't Yan Hui practice 'don't look at incivility, don't listen, don't speak, don't move'? ”

"As Yun Ji said, this is in line with the Confucian etiquette, everything is done in courtesy, stop at etiquette, so as to avoid the invasion of the outside world, maintain good deeds, be cautious and not relaxed, and do not be angry with others, do not make the same mistake twice, this is the way of Yan Hui to love the sage, and learn from it."

Luo Hongyun said to He Shen: "Are you still confused?" ”

"The students are not puzzled, thank you for the teacher's answers." He Shen saluted Luo Hongyun and returned to his seat.

"But the teacher, Yun Ji is puzzled, who taught everything about the saints? Is there a saint above the saint? ”

Luo Hongyun nodded and said with a smile: "You sit down, the question you asked just now is exactly what I want to talk about next." ”

Yun Ji sat back in the eyes of the students.

When Luo Hongyun was lecturing, Yun Shi often asked some strange questions, isn't the so-called sage already the top of the university? How can there still be a saint?

Teacher Fang Cai answered, husband saints, all rely on the inner self-restraint to achieve themselves, for the future generations of example, so the reason why a saint becomes a saint is naturally his own mind to view the world.

The people of the Hereafter are all imitations.

Otherwise, how could there be no saints after Confucius?

Like Mencius and the like, they can only call them sub-sages, but they have not reached the height of saints.

"All saints naturally understand without thinking about it, and they can integrate the truth from nature without hard work, and reason is the top of all things, just like Yan Hui must think about it to have a harvest, and he must work hard to achieve moderation, and the saint is still one step away, so he can only hold on to himself, but he can't reach the realm of a true saint."

"Teacher, I have some place to argue with your point of view."

"A saint also needs to work hard to be able to integrate the truth, and a saint is not self-taught."

Ever since Yun Ji said this, the people around him gasped. This Jiang Yunhe actually dared to refute the words of the mountain chief, this is the rhythm of heaven.

And depending on how you deal with yourself in the future, the teacher will definitely punish Jiang Yunji for his recklessness. The scene seemed to be divided into three factions, some people began to gloat, some people showed worried expressions, and some people agreed with Yun Ji, as if Yun Ji spoke their hearts.

Luo Hongyun smiled with satisfaction.

"Then tell me how the saints learned?"

Yun Ji took a step forward and said: "The student thinks that the saint is also a saint who becomes a saint after studying, take the saint Kong as an example, he has several teachers, in order to study, he is forty years old and travels thousands of miles to find Lao Tzu, follow him to learn etiquette, not only that, but he also learns from his own students, so that after that, he has achieved his own name as a saint." ”

"Well, you're right." Luo Hongyun said.

Well? How is it that there is no imaginary punishment? Jiang Yunji pushed the teacher's opinion!

"Later generations do not understand, thinking that the saint is born to know, not through the study of the name of the saint, so the way of learning has disappeared, today's people do not learn by self-recuperation improvement, but pay attention to reading other people's things, think that the ornate text is the representative of learning, such a person will not achieve the achievement of the saint."

Luo Hongyun asked Yun Ji to go back to sit again, Guan Mingyu stared at Yun Ji for a long time, he wanted to pry Yun Ji's head open to see what was inside.

Even he didn't dare to refute it openly, this little baby has such courage, it really should be praised.

"When you are studying, you should also pay attention to the fact that learning is to improve your mental recuperation, not to learn for the sake of learning, I know that many of you come to study in my Luoyang Academy to gain fame, even so, without good cultivation, no matter how big an official is, you can't get the happiness you want."

After Luo Hongyun finished speaking, Guan Mingyu on the side helped him up, which means that today's lecture is over.

"Yes."

Everyone stood up and saluted Luo Hongyun, he gave Yun Ji a look, and then went to find him. After Yun and Ming, Luo Hongyun slowly left with the support of Guan Mingyu.

Yun and the trio walked on the path, and Huang Zhuyu chattered about the phenomenon he saw in class today.

Today, Yun He refutes the remarks of the mountain chief, this is the first part of Luoyang Academy.

"Say, how do you have such courage, you don't know, the senior brothers all hold their tails and behave as people, the teacher's words are carried out like a holy decree, you are the first person I have seen who dares to face the mountain chief."

Yun Ji was speechless, to be honest, about these problems, he was already six or seven years old.
