Learning "Disciple's Rules" Experience, Thoughts

Learn and practice the "Rules of the Disciples", feel the traditional cultural classics

The general preface of the Rules of the Disciples opens with this education: The Rules of the Disciples, the sage training, the first filial piety and fraternal duty, the second respect and trust. The first is filial piety and fraternal duty, and the second is respect and trust. If you have the ability to do so, you should learn the language. It starts from the root of human beings and teaches us to shape our own virtues in these aspects. The first filial piety and fraternal duty means that one must first have love in one's heart and honor one's parents. If a person can't even respect his parents, who have nurtured him, then he has lost the fundamentals of being a human being, and he can't even talk about heartfelt respect for his elders, leaders, colleagues, brothers, and friends, and it's hard to get approval for what he has done. Secondly, we should be prudent and trustworthy, which means that we should be honest. From the smallest person to the largest enterprise, if a person cannot treat others honestly, then what does he rely on to gain a foothold in society? If you love all people, you should be kind to them. If one has the ability to learn, one should learn the language. It means that we should be equal and benevolent in our dealings with the public, and we should always be close to those who have benevolence and virtue, and learn from them. The above things are the fundamentals of learning, and they must be done. If there is still room for learning after doing these things, we should also learn some other aspects of knowledge to enrich ourselves. This is to educate us how to deal with people, how to learn, to often learn the strengths of others to make up for their shortcomings, from all aspects to discipline themselves, improve their own quality and cultivation.

Studying the "Rules of the Disciple" is to carry out the saint's teachings into life and implement them into every word and deed. Learning the "Discipleship Rules", I think it is not only a process of improving personal cultivation, but also a process of sublimation of thought. Love the people around you and love the world. Only in this way will this society become harmonious.

After learning the "Disciple's Rules" I understand a lot of truth, in the face of which I have a feeling of hate to see each other, which "into the filial piety", "out of the brotherhood", "respect", "faith", "faith", "faith", "faith", "faith", "faith", "faith", "faith", "faith", "faith" and "faith". The "Entry Rules of Filial Piety", "Exit Rules of Brotherly Love", "Honesty", "Faith", "Love for All", "Kindness", "Yu Mechanical Wen" form a complete moral system. The core of the system is the "Way" and "Virtue" of being a human being, which is commonly referred to as "Morality". In the study of "Discipleship Rules" at the same time I also repeatedly read Mr. Cai Lixu's "Happy and Full Life" this treasure book, the more I read, the more I feel that it is indeed a treasure book of life wisdom in the world. Mr. Cai's "Tao" is the law of nature that transcends time and space. "Virtue" is to teach human beings how to obey the laws of nature and not to violate the principles of being human. Its essence is the relationship between father and son, between ruler and subject, between husband and wife, between the young and the old, and between friends and friends. It teaches us how to cultivate our bodies, according to the order of cultivating the body, aligning the family, ruling the country, and pacifying the world; without cultivating the body, it is impossible to align the family, rule the country, and pacify the world.

China is an ancient civilization with 5,000 years of splendid culture, know and repay, respect for the elderly and love for the young, treating people sincerely ...... these fine traditions from ancient times to the present day are well known, open the "Disciple's Rules" to read, as if in the civilization, in the ethical way of being a human being in the middle of the road.

Filial piety is the first of all good things. The first step is to make sure that you have a good understanding of what you are doing and how you are doing it," he said. The "Rules of Discipleship" tells us that we must start from the smallest detail, and that we must realize that filial piety is always there, not just a moment's thought.

"To repay a favor, to forget a grudge, to complain is short, to repay a favor is long." These are enough to make my heart happy, the ancient saying: "Receive a drop of water, when the spring to repay." The Book of Discipleship teaches us to be thankful. Be grateful to those who give us life, to those who give us knowledge, to those who give us food and clothing, to those who give us shelter, and to those who have criticized us. Keep the love of others in your heart forever and draw on the virtues of others. Perfect yourself and touch others.

After reading the Rules of Discipleship, I realized that the words and deeds that I used to take for granted or that I thought were right, turned out to be deficient in one way or another.

In the ancient times, "The Rules of Discipleship" was a guideline for being a human being, and it still influences more people in the contemporary times, educating us on how to be a human being. What matters in life is not the appearance of life, but the essence of life. The most important thing in life is character. To do something, one must first be a man. Civilized and healthy conduct and noble moral sentiments is the real self home, is to shine the eternal sunshine of the soul! I am reading the "Discipleship Rules" carefully, but also took away the dust on my soul.

I remembered who once said this

If you:

Sow the seeds of thought, and you reap the words;

Sow the seeds of words, and you reap the deeds;

Sow the seeds of deeds, and you reap the habits;

Sow the seeds of habits, and you reap the character;

Sow the seeds of character, and you I'm not going to be able to do that.

Studying the "Rules of Discipleship", I was impressed by its deep connotation. Due to my own ignorance, I wrongly understood many of the sages' teachings, and I even rebelled and regarded some traditional cultures as feudal dregs. In the past, I never really felt that "we are proud children of China". I thought it was an empty slogan. But at this time I understand the real reason why the Chinese nation has lasted for thousands of years; the real reason why the Chinese nation is loved by the people of the world: because we have a very deep cultural heritage! We have an excellent cultural tradition! The creation of generations of virtuous Chinese children! We are a "state of etiquette". We are a nation of etiquette, friends, modesty and kindness ...... Thousands of years of culture have produced so many excellent virtues in Chinese children. But why is it reported that in Notre Dame in Paris, there is "Please do not make loud noises" written in Chinese; in the toilets of the Royal Palace of Thailand, "Please flush after defecation" is written; in Pearl Harbor in the United States, the garbage cans are clearly written with "Please throw your garbage here"? Please dispose of your garbage here." ...... The moral standard of the Chinese people has fallen to the lowest point! This also reminds me of the "Magazhou Incident", why would a smart college student who had won a national competition do this to his roommate who had once ridiculed him? One of the roommates was spared because he had once volunteered to help Magazhou serve a meal. This has aroused widespread discussion and concern in society about the moral problems of young people.

As an educator, since we recognize the lack of traditional Chinese cultural education in modern family education, we should make up for it by starting with our current school education. So that the students we train will not suffer setbacks and failures due to a lack of morality when they go out into society.

The Disciple's Rules are based on the Three Character Classic. The etiquette norms in it are the fundamentals of being a human being. Just like a big tree, the tree will grow luxuriantly only if its roots are firmly planted. To be a human being, only when the most basic morals are established, a person with a humble, respectful, kind and fraternal heart will be invincible in his future life and work. Just like painting, let the child without the foundation of painting to play the imagination to create is not going to create an excellent work of art. If a person does not know the basic principles of being a human being and acts arbitrarily according to his own will, then he will not be accepted by others and he will not be happy in life. I have not received formal education in traditional culture, but after learning the discipleship rules, I feel that I have the responsibility and obligation to pass on this cultural treasure on the basis of a correct understanding of the ancient Chinese culture. I sincerely hope that all of us educators can realize this and start from the smallest detail of our classroom education to help each student establish a correct outlook on life.

It's been a year since I had any real contact with traditional culture. In fact, this calculation is not necessarily correct, because everyone living in the Chinese land has been influenced by traditional culture at any time. After all, culture is a continuous transmission process. As one of my language teachers said, "Whether it is the son of a family or a village boy in the mountains, whether it is a little literate or illiterate, his words, actions and every move all show the Confucian culture of upbringing". I have a deeper and deeper feeling about these words. An ideology has been perpetuated on the Chinese soil for thousands of years, so where else can the people here not be affected? Although traditional culture has been repeatedly devastated in modern times, she still has a strong vitality on the Chinese soil.

In my opinion, the Rules of Discipleship contains traditional ideas such as the Book of Filial Piety and the Rites of Passage, and especially regulates actions. The so-called rules of Disciple's Rules also means to regulate. Originally, this book was intended to be used as a children's primer, about the same utility as the Three Character Classic. However, our people nowadays, generally lack this kind of education, so it is appropriate to study this classic now. Especially nowadays, when social ethics are out of order and people's hearts are not in good shape, and people of good will call for repositioning our education to emphasize humanistic thinking and humanistic care, and to create a harmonious society and a harmonious world, studying the classics is especially necessary.

The process of learning is a process of identification, and the influence on oneself is a subtle process. For example, when we learn the "Rules of Discipleship", it should be easy to memorize it, but it takes time to really have a beneficial effect on a person. A person must have some principles in dealing with the world, and they are subconsciously governed by these principles. Having studied the Discipline of the Disciples, it is to implement the teachings of the sages into one's life, in one's words and deeds.

Learning the "Rules of Discipleship", I think it is not only a process of improving personal cultivation, but also a process of sublimation of thoughts. It is very necessary for a person's growth. Love the people around you, love the world. Only in this way, this society becomes a harmonious society, this world becomes a harmonious world.
