After Liu Xiubin finished speaking, he picked up the book of "Book of Rites" on the stage and read.

He had just finished reading, but unexpectedly, Zhang Shaofei said with interest: "Brother Xiubin, I seem to be ..... in this "University" you just read."

"Seems like what? Didn't you understand? Liu Xiubin paused for a moment, and then said, "It's no wonder that when I started listening to my husband, I also seemed to understand it." When he said this, he looked at Zhang Shaofei, "How about waiting for Brother Fool to interpret it for you?" ”

Zhang Shaofei smiled faintly and said "oh" noncommittally.

Liu Xiubin picked up the cup of fragrant hot tea on the coffee table, took a sip, moistened his throat, and said solemnly as if a teacher was teaching a student: "In the sentence 'Mingmingde' at the beginning, the first 'Ming' is a verb, showing the meaning of carrying forward, and the second 'Ming' is an adjective, which contains the meaning of noble and glorious. ”

……

Zhang Shaofei was listening quietly. In fact, as early as his childhood, in Lu Xueru's school, he was already familiar with the "grammatical characteristics such as verbs, adjectives, imaginary words, prepositions, part-of-speech discrimination, sentence components, structure, subject-verb-object-definite complement, and clear separation of trunk branches and leaves" taught by Mr. Lu. Out of politeness, Zhang Shaofei listened intently.

In the end, Liu Xiubin commented: "The first sentence is the purpose of the University, which is to promote noble virtues, to care for the people, and to achieve the highest level of goodness. ”

When Zhang Shaofei heard this, he couldn't help but hit his hands and said excitedly: "Brother Xiubin, you explained it so well!" ”

Liu Xiubin looked at Zhang Shaofei's expression and thought: This is a big article on governing the country and leveling the world! He didn't quite believe that Zhang Shaofei could understand and understand "University".

Liu Xiubin looked at Zhang Shaofei and said, "Really? Wait for the foolish brother to read a few more words, and you can hear what it means. ”

"Hmm." Zhang Shaofei nodded.

"Knowing and then there is determination, determination and then being quiet, being quiet and then being peaceful, being safe and then being able to worry, and then being able to get after thinking." Liu Xiubin read a sentence casually, put down the book, and asked, "Brother Xian, do you understand?" ”

Zhang Shaofei couldn't help but applaud: "The book is so well written!" From another point of view, this is talking about Buddhism and practice! ”

When Liu Xiubin heard Zhang Shaofei say this, he really couldn't cry or laugh! Helplessly, he asked again: "Brother Xian, did you hear me right?" I am reading to you the "University" from the Confucian classic "Book of Rites", not the Buddhist scriptures narrated by Shakyamuni Buddha. ”

Zhang Shaofei said: "Whether it is Buddha or Confucianism, they are all edifying people. Take the paragraph you just read, the so-called way of university is in Mingmingde, Mingmingde is to see the heart and enlightenment. How can it be Mingde? The method mentioned in the book is very correct, first of all, we must achieve 'stop', know the stop, and then have a decision. After the kung fu is cultivated at home, it will be able to be truly quiet, and after it is quiet, it can be peaceful, thoughtful, and thinking, and only through thinking can the door of wisdom be opened, and only then can it be clear and virtuous, that is, clear mind. These teachings are exactly the same as the process of practicing precepts, concentration, and wisdom in Buddhism. ”

Liu Xiubin looked at Zhang Shaofei in surprise, as if he didn't know him.

So, Zhang Shaofei explained in more layman's terms: "The precepts mentioned in Buddhism are like dense forests, with which the wind cannot blow in. With this protective layer, our hearts are just like a quiet deep pool in the forest, always in a quiet state where the surface of the water does not have waves and the sediment at the bottom of the water is not overflowing, which is Ding. In this fixed state, not only the water quality is clear and transparent, the things in the water can be seen at a glance, and the water surface is as calm as a mirror, which can shine on the sky and the earth; The wind and clouds in the sky are changing, the birds in the air are low, and the wind and grass on the ground are all hidden. At the same time, it is clear that it is unmoving, and it will not be disturbed by the chaos of the outside world. This is the wisdom that comes from concentration. This kind of wisdom is not wisdom, not knowledge, but the most fundamental wisdom of man! ”
