Chapter 28 What is a gentleman?(2/2)
Thinking of this, Zhou Xuan felt inexplicably relieved.
After reading the Sage, these monsters should also understand human etiquette and civilization!
Immediately afterwards, Sun Wukong expressed his problem.
"But master and disciples read the Sage's Scripture and found that there are many unclear things. For example, the word 'gentleman' appears 107 times in the book."
"This book of Sages is full of details, but there are so many gentlemen appearing in it. It is obvious that the way of 'gentleman' is the core of the whole book."
"However, my disciple is stupid and doesn't understand what a gentleman is, so I still ask the master to clarify his doubts and answer his questions."
Tsk tsk...
Zhou Xuan was really surprised.
These days, even a monkey is familiar with the scriptures of saints.
Good guy, really a good guy.
Unexpectedly, the monkey not only read the book of saints seriously, but also clearly counted how many times the word "gentleman" appeared in the book. It was so terrifying.
"If you don't learn enough, you are afraid of losing it. If you don't feel ashamed to ask, you know it."
Zhou Xuan nodded and praised.
If you don't answer Sun Wukong seriously, you would be sorry for his hard work.
After pondering for a moment, Zhou Xuan said: "A gentleman has nine thoughts: seeing clearly, listening wisely, looking warm, looking respectful, speaking loyally, doing things respectfully, doubting and asking, thinking about difficulties, and thinking about meaning.
.
The so-called gentleman is the righteousness of heaven and earth, the sage of the world, and the model of the world."
After listening to Zhou Xuan's words, the monkey looked confused.
Listening to your words is like listening to your words.
These words are the same as if they were not said.
After scratching his head, the monkey continued to ask: "Master, how can one become a gentleman?"
"A gentleman doesn't care about his heart when discussing his deeds. There is no gentleman in the world. After all, no one is perfect." Zhou Xuan said, "If knowledge and action are unified, then we should also consider his heart when discussing his deeds. The only gentleman who can judge his heart is a saint!"
After hearing this, the monkey's eyes lit up.
A gentleman does not care about his heart when discussing his deeds; a gentleman only cares about his heart when discussing his heart.
It turns out that if you want to cultivate yourself into a gentleman, you must first discuss your deeds and then your heart.
Only when knowledge and action are united can one become a gentleman.
Sun Wukong completely understands what a gentleman is, a gentleman reviews his deeds, and a saint cultivates his mind!
My heart is the heart of heaven.
This is the saint!
The monkey was completely shocked. This Sage Sutra can not only cultivate Taoism and become an immortal, but also become a saint if you can cultivate the heart of a gentleman!
"Disciple completely understands."
"One word from the master is worth ten years of reading."
After understanding what a gentleman is, Sun Wukong bowed deeply to Zhou Xuan.
With just a few words from his master, he suddenly understood the way of a gentleman and the method of a saint.
This made him admire and admire him even more.
The figure of Master in front of me is as unfathomable as the mountains and the sea.
Knowing that the monkey understood something like an enlightenment, Zhou Xuan couldn't help but nodded.
No matter what Wukong understands, it is the monkey's own business and has nothing to do with him.
"Study about reading. If you don't understand anything in the future, you can ask me."
"There is no limit to the sea of learning. Learning does not happen overnight. You must be diligent and eager to learn, and you cannot fish for three days and dry the net for two days."
Compared with monkeys, human power is destined to be unable to defeat demon power.
So Zhou Xuan has already thought about becoming a teacher after leaving this island, traveling around, teaching and educating people.
Teaching this monkey can be regarded as fate.
Although he is a monster, it is also good to read some sage books such as the Four Books and Five Classics to cultivate his temperament, so as not to smash, smash, loot and burn everywhere, and do a wave of zero-dollar shopping. In the end, it was said that Taixu Tian Zhou Xuan taught him to do this and put his
The name came out.
Zhou Xuan must not be angry to death this time.
You can only teach monkeys when reasoning with the other party is useless.
Only then did force be used.
This is the correct answer.
Otherwise, like the monkey in Journey to the West, even if he blew up the Lingxiao Palace, he looked very majestic at first glance, but in the eyes of outsiders, it was still a barbaric act, immoral, and annoying.
Force should be a last resort.
Only when the monster understands what is meant by "a gentleman speaks but does not use his hands, and uses force only to make fools talk to him calmly" can this be the right way.
The monkey has learned etiquette, which is the most terrifying thing.
Sun Wukong's eyes lit up after hearing his master say that he could come for advice at any time.
Rather than knowing the way of a gentleman, Monkey cares more about getting the guidance of Master Zhou Xuan, which is the most precious wealth in the world.
If the master taught Taoism by himself, his practice would be a thousand miles away, and there would never be any bottlenecks!
Afterwards, Sun Wukong knelt down on the ground excitedly: "I am grateful to my disciple for being able to receive Master's teachings!"
Unexpectedly, Wukong knelt in front of him again, and Zhou Xuan was stunned.
I'm just teaching him some useless principles, so there's no need to be so excited.
Zhou Xuan waved his hands and said: "It doesn't have to be like this. The road is long and long. You should search up and down and make it a common practice. This small amount of Taoism is not worth three kowtows and nine bows. Just go ahead."
"Yes, Master."
Sun Wukong bowed to Zhou Xuan again before leaving the master's room.
He was extremely happy because the master was so kind that he actually taught him how to practice.
In this way, not to mention the Heavenly Immortal, even the Taiyi Golden Immortal is not a problem.
Master also said just now, ‘It is common practice to cultivate well’.
Only by treating spiritual practice as daily practice can you accomplish great things!
Think of this.
Chapter completed!
