Chapter 469: Moral Teaching

Xiao Yi continued: "Therefore, Xiao Yi suggested that each family should find their own way. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoDon't try to learn your own way from all the people in the world, but teach people according to their differences, time and aptitude, and jointly promote the great virtues of the world. ”

Sage Confucius has 72 disciples, according to people's temperament, according to their aptitude, all the disciples have achieved extraordinary. Therefore, Confucianism is well aware of the principle of teaching students according to their aptitude. Yu Linfeng then asked: "How can you find your own way and teach you according to your aptitude? ”

Xiao Yi replied: "In today's world, the people's virtues are different, and the good and the bad are uneven. Subdivided, Confucianism, Mo, Buddhism, and demons, the four schools of morality face quite different crowds. Such as the virtue of the demon family, it should be used for people who are difficult to find food and clothing. Such people are still struggling on the verge of life and death, and their thoughts are only for survival, and they cannot reach the level of love at all. In order to live, you can endure humiliation and bear weight, so you should give the way of the demon family, so that you know how to survive without breaking the law. In fact, for such people, not breaking the law and not violating others is virtuous. ”

After hearing this, the sentient beings nodded silently, especially the many people who were deeply touched.

It is true that for a person who cannot even be guaranteed food and clothing, it is simply impractical and of little use to impose a great deal on him.

Xiao Yi said again: "Cang Liao knows etiquette and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing." Confucianism advocates benevolence and benevolence, and benevolence loves others. For those who have no worries about food and clothing, the Confucian way of benevolence should be applied. Most of these people are above ordinary people, and their status is higher than ordinary people. At this time, Confucianism should teach benevolence and virtue, guide such people to be people-oriented, political and virtuous, help the poor, and create a better world together. ”

Yu Linfeng was the first to nod his head and had no objections.

Although Confucianism advocates benevolence among the people of the world, the main groups of people it faces are mainly those who are above the common people. In the teachings of Confucianism, the ideas of "the people are precious, the society is light, and the monarch is light", "love the people with frugality", and "the people are the foundation of the state" are all teaching those who are in power to love the people. Although Confucianism runs private schools, there is no class of education, but the purpose of "learning and excellence is a master", its purpose is still to hope to serve the government with morality.

Xiao Yi's theory is extremely true to the true meaning of Confucian benevolence.

Xiao Yi said again: "The way of the Mohists lies in loving everyone, which is a higher level than the way of Confucianism. ”

When Yu Linfeng heard this, his brows frowned slightly, although he was a little displeased, but he did not interrupt with words. Confucianism is self-denial and repentance, and the level of self-cultivation is really incomparable to other schools.

I only heard Xiao Yi continue: "In the way of Confucianism, there is a distinction between a gentleman and a villain, and the attitude towards the gentleman and the villain is also different. However, the Mohists treat everyone equally, teaching the world that no matter whether they are politicians at the top or poor people at the bottom, they should respect and love each other. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Yi turned to the direction of the Mo family and said, "The benevolence of the Mo family, Xiao Yi yearns for it and admires it very much. But Xiao Yi had to admit that the benevolence of the Mo family is beyond reality, especially for today's chaotic world, it is simply a dream and it is impossible to realize. ”

The master of the Mo family was silent and unmoved. Mo Qianshou asked, "Why do you say this?" Because Xiao Yi said politely, he was not angry.

Xiao Yi replied: "The love of the world can only be achieved when it is in the same position. For example, if the other party is dressed in fine clothes and beautiful food, while I am ragged and hungry, how can I love others? ”

The Mo family disciple was silent, but there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes. The way of the Mohists is the way of the people, and its ambitions and ideals are unmatched by other families. Although its Tao is revered by the people, it is precisely because of its lofty ambition that many Taoism theories are divorced from reality and are still difficult to realize. The disciples of the Mo family knew it in their hearts, and they were also distressed by it.

Xiao Yi continued: "Therefore, Xiao Yi believes that the center of the current Mohist religion should be above chivalry, not love. When the teaching of Confucianism is successful, the superior is virtuous, and then the people are taught to be virtuous and love all sentient beings, and then it will be a matter of course, so that everyone can be treated equally and realize the world of true benevolence and virtue. ”

Mo Jiu suddenly let out a long sigh and said, "What Xiaoyou said is extremely gist, Mo has been taught. ”

Xiao Yi said: "Juzi praised it. ”

At this time, the atmosphere of the audience has quietly changed, and the original air of doubt has almost disappeared, replaced by infinite reverence.

Xiao Yi finally faced the Buddhists and said: "The virtue of the Buddhists lies in cultivating one's own mind, which is applicable to people all over the world. If everyone in the world can practice the way of Buddhism, everyone is good, the aggregates are empty, and all beings are equal, why should there be rulers in the world?"

Master Likong recited: "Amitabha, what the donor said is extremely true. ”

But Xiao Yi's words changed, but he said: "It is said that at any time, you can advocate the world to participate in Buddhism and purify your soul." However, Xiao Yi believes that in the face of the current complicated world, it is not appropriate to promote Buddhism. ”

Master Likong was stunned and asked, "Why is this?"

Xiao Yi said: "In today's world, people's hearts are impetuous, materialistic desires are rampant, and most of the people who can concentrate on cultivating Buddhism are the common people. Under the influence of Buddhism, the common people are accustomed to being submissive, and when faced with the oppression of politicians, even though there are thousands of complaints, they still remain silent and let them act arbitrarily. In this way, the people become more and more servile, not only can not make the world peaceful, but on the contrary, it promotes bad spirits, which is not conducive to the fairness and justice of the world. ”

Master Likong suddenly lost color and said, "This ...... This ......" but he was speechless.

The people of Yuzhou Buddhism accounted for the majority in the venue, and they were all in an uproar when they heard the words.

Xiao Yi's words not only erased the merits of Buddhism's moral teaching, but also had a sense of resentment. How can Buddhist disciples and believers not be surprised? But when we think about what they say, there is indeed some truth. The belief in his heart was denied, and suddenly everyone was at a loss.

Xiao Yi's voice was high, overpowering the crowd, and said: "As the ghost family said, it is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. When the world of peace is truly realized, despite the teaching of great benevolence, it is still impossible to get rid of the poison of fame and fortune. The slightest carelessness can bring about the end of a peaceful world. Therefore, Xiao Yi turned the teachings of Buddhism into the last teachings of mankind. When everyone in the world is equal and everyone loves others, and then edified by Buddhism, people can feel peaceful, not vain, and regard fame and fortune as empty. In this way, we can ensure that the peaceful world will not be extinguished and will last forever. ”

Only then did the Buddhist disciples understand the meaning, and their hearts were relieved, and they recited "Amitabha Buddha" together.

Xiao Yi paused for a moment and said, "At this moment, everyone should understand that the virtues of the four families not only face different crowds, but also have different teaching times. When the Legalists emphasize the rule of law, the world will inevitably experience turmoil. The people are in distress, and they dare not speak out, and they will surely be resentful. Once the grievance is too deep, it is likely to lead to riots. At this time, the way of the demon family should be applied, so that the people can endure the humiliation for a while, so as not to die due to violating the criminal law. At this stage, when the chaos is set right and the people are forced to learn morality, the people have to endure even if they are dissatisfied. ”

Although the people listened to it with no color, they listened to it for a long time, and firmly believed in their hearts that what Xiao Yi said was to realize the world of peace and prosperity, so they forbeared.

At this time, I suddenly heard Xiao Yi say: "This stage is also the stage of the Dharma Master Defu that Xiao Yi just said!" (To be continued.) )
