Why do children go to private schools to learn classics?

Yes, I have already said it ... but our teacher, Mr. Liao, said that everyone wants to see you anyway. Come and have a look, and I will let everyone have a look. (Laughter). If everyone has seen enough, I'm finished. (Laughter) Actually, I've said everything I want to say, and it's not because we've been promoting it for a long time. I've been talking about reading the Bible for a long time, so I'm done, not really. I finished my speech from the first scene. Until now, if everything comes back. However, some people, he said, want to hear it, even if they repeat it. Yesterday, I met a man in another place. I met a man who looked like a madman. He said he wanted to watch one of my videos. He said that he had watched it more than 300 times. I said if you're crazy, like this. How can you watch a video so many times? It is such a simple truth. I said you must know it by heart if you watch it more than 300 times. He said, yes, I can not only recite, but also be stronger and better than you if I want to talk. Very funny, very happy, like this. I hope everyone here has the same spirit and ability. Therefore, he himself intends to promote reading classics. If he has children, his children must be Bible readers. So I also hope that you, not only you know, but also promote it.

So today, some of our parents send their children to private schools to study classics-children who study classics in private schools all day, please raise your hand, I think. All right, please put it down, almost half. Your child has already started to read the Bible, more or less, at home or in a community Bible reading class, reading for dozens of minutes or an hour or two every day. Please raise your hand and have a look. All right, put it down. Raise your hand if your child hasn't started reading yet. (Only one person raises his hand) Oh, maybe you don't have children yet. (Laughter)

If you have children, you should start. If you don't start, it will be too late. Then if it hasn't started yet, I will persuade him to start as soon as possible. He can't wait a day. If it has already started, but only a small amount of reading, only a few minutes, dozens of minutes, hours a day, all good, it is good to have reading. But I advised him to work as hard as possible. Then the greatest strength is like a private school. Sending to a private school is different, and you can also study at home. You don't have to go to a private school to learn classics. But there are two principles that need to be well balanced. One is to read the Bible honestly, and the other is to read the Bible widely. Be honest and generous. Then, private schools are the most honest and generous places. What is honesty, is to be honest, read the real classics, start from the Analects of Confucius and start from the deepest wisdom. But just reading, there is no other mode, only reading all the time, not playing any games, not even reading extracurricular books, reading famous books all day, which is called being honest, the more honest the better. Then there are many more. Many refer to spending a lot of time, mental energy, and even reading classics all day long. This is called a lot. So many results can be seen for six hours, eight hours, ten hours at most, and not many for more than ten hours. After about eight hours, the limit was almost reached. This is called a lot. Generally speaking, in our own home, or going to a community reading class, or going to a school where teachers teach reading at the same time, we can't achieve the two principles of honesty and conformity, so if we have the conditions, we should try our best to realize our unfulfilled wishes. Why do I advocate this-do things according to reason and don't listen to other people's advice? Then why did you do it? Why do I advocate this? In fact, I am not advocating a theory and then pushing it to the extreme, thinking that this is the only most important thing in the world and must be done. I didn't say it directly. It's that we should act according to reason. Therefore, when I say the theory of reading classics, I should never think it is a theory of reading classics, but an education and an educational theory. The theory of education is also different from other general educators. And this kind of education should think about what education is for. Only by thinking from the root causes can we solve the problem. If we don't touch the root cause, everyone who does education will say that the ancients had their educational ideas, China had China, and the west had the west. So now that the whole world is almost unified, where is the concept of education in the world unified? Now it is unified with the United States. Taiwan Province Province also learns from the United States. The mainland used to learn from Soviet Russia, and now it also learns from the United States. In fact, the former Soviet Union, Russia and the United States are almost the same, so the United States represents the highest development of the whole West. So now we are studying in the United States, so our education in China is very similar to that in the West, at least the educational theory is very similar. So now the whole world is doing this-everyone should realize the truth of being a man and doing things, that is, not all people in the world do this, which is right. Be sure to think like this: this must be done right. Doing the right thing means doing it according to the truth. We only ask whether the truth is correct, not whether the whole world does it. Of course, it is even harder to ask westerners whether to do so; Let alone ask whether Americans are doing this, or whether our government is doing this; Of course, we can't ask our neighbors if they do this. You can't ask yourself if you've done this before, only one thing is right: should you do it according to the truth? Just ask this question, don't ask anything else.

The basis of educational truth: whether it conforms to the comprehensiveness of human nature connotation and the course of human development, then educational truth should have a basis, not who has the final say. Americans can't control it, and I can't control it, but the authenticity of education can be tested. Is it human? Then everyone knows what human nature is. So don't talk about human nature. Everyone knows what human nature is. Think about it. Everyone knows that. Therefore, everyone knows whether education is done correctly. Then if you know, you should do it truthfully. We consider education from the perspective of human nature. However, education from human nature should be done, so we think that human nature has two aspects. On the one hand, it belongs to moral wisdom, which is human nature. We all hope to cultivate children with moral wisdom, and of course we also hope that our life is moral wisdom. On the other hand, we hope to cultivate learned and talented children. We also want to be knowledgeable. In fact, learning and talent also belong to one aspect of human nature, and morality and wisdom belong to another aspect, but together they are the content of all human nature. So now many people think that most of our education pays attention to knowledge, not even talent, but only knowledge. Knowledge should be rich, so that it can be gradually transformed into talent. And this talent is related to your temperament and wisdom. Otherwise, applications with talent and knowledge may bring trouble, which is worse than those without knowledge and talent. So the highest knowledge is morality and wisdom. Everyone probably knows. But do you think about whether our education conforms to such human development? Can such talents be educated? If not, then there is something wrong with this education. You can't go that way of education. Now I think many people will sigh, many parents will sigh, many scholars will sigh, and our government will sigh. Our national personality is incomplete, and sometimes it is not even knowledge and talent, let alone morality and wisdom. No one dares to think. This shows that this kind of education is wrong. I knew this educational mistake at once. So we can't let children do this kind of education. So we can think about education from the perspective of human nature. At least you can imagine what education is right and what education is wrong. In other words, education that can develop morality, wisdom and knowledge should be more correct. It is wrong and unreasonable to develop only the undeveloped side or a small amount of education. Next, it depends on the development of human nature. Is a person who has developed slowly since childhood. His humanity, his moral wisdom, talent and knowledge were not completed at once, but gradually. So when should we teach him how to learn and what to learn in order to develop his whole humanity? So when he has grown up, it will be too slow for you to ask him if he has developed all his personality. So we should pay attention to this problem from the childhood. By grasping these two questions, we can know what education is reasonable and what education is unreasonable. After understanding the truth, you should grasp the education of children-you should do the right thing and do what you think is right.

Then, after listening to the truth of reading classics education that we are advocating now, please think about it. Say it's not a person. This is the first point. Is it in line with a person's development process? The second point is to see if it can develop all the contents of human nature with such development. If not, the education of reading classics is also unreasonable. If you can do it, and only by reading classics can you do it, then you must do it. Then if you do a small amount, you can develop well, so you do a small amount. If you have to do a lot to develop well, you have to do a lot. That's it. Then the confidence of reading classics education is not what you see others do, nor from whose propaganda. It's better not that you see the effect, but that you understand this truth. Then, you do it according to the truth, and there will be results. If you get results, everyone will do it. Although we haven't done this for the time being, we will definitely do it in the future. So there are very few people who do bible study now, even less in the world. Now there are only two nationalities doing it in the world. One is Jewish, the other is China. Jews and China people have a tradition of reading the Bible, especially children. The Jews didn't give up, China gave up now, but the people of China are now reviving. Just us, few people. Jews are the whole nation, although the proportion of Jews in the world population is very small, accounting for only about three thousandths. But the Jews who won the Nobel Prize accounted for 30% of the world. Therefore, the proportion of Jews who successfully cultivate talents is one hundred times that of the whole world. Jews, on the other hand, are a nation that has taught children to read the Bible since childhood. You have to think about it. There are so many people in China who don't study the Bible. Now they are going to study it. We seldom learn the Bible more than the whole Jewish people. Think about it. If this road is educational and can train talents, how many talents will there be in China in 20 years? Then if your child is still in childhood, he will start training now, and after twenty or thirty years, he is likely to be a talent. Even if he is not a great talent, we will cultivate him by cultivating a great talent. He is also a medium talent, so we must grasp the education of a child. Because time is gone forever. Then how can you be sure? How dare you do something that no one else has done? Everyone goes to school. Why doesn't your child go to school? You should think it over carefully and don't act in a hurry. Be sure to think it over before you do it. The so-called knowing is doing. You know, you have to do this. The deeper you know, the more powerful your actions will be. So if some people know how to read the Bible, but they don't ask their children to read it honestly, we can know that that person's concept is not very deep, and he doesn't understand it very well. Then, if you find a better way of education, it will be easier to train talents and make a child get the greatest development than if we honestly read a lot of classics. Just tell me and I will promote your education in the future. Because I am not advocating the education of reading classics, I am advocating education, because this kind of education is most in line with the principles of education and human nature, so we do this. You should think so in the future and say so when you tell your relatives and friends, otherwise he will think that you have been brainwashed. He said that if you are brainwashed, you can say, yes, my mind is clearer and clearer, which is also true, because my mind needs washing, and it will be a mess if it is not washed. So being brainwashed is a good thing. However, we are not forced to brainwash, but really wash our hearts with truth. We would rather be brainwashed. However, by brainwashing, we mean being forced to instill some ideas in you. We're not anymore. Everyone needs to think independently. You should do the right thing and do what you think is right. Parents will be happy when their children read the Bible. I hope all our parents can reach this standard. In this way, your heart will be safe. Your peace of mind, your children's peace of mind, your children's peace of mind, the teacher will be very smooth when teaching classics, and children will easily enter the classic world. Then the child's mind enters the classic world, and when reading the classics, it is delicious. Reading classics is a very happy thing, and he is also very happy. A few days ago, in a school, I heard the teacher say that one of their students was reading the Book of Changes and licked his mouth when he read it (the teacher motioned for licking his mouth). In this way, his tongue licked. The teacher said, why lick your tongue when reading the Bible? He said, it's fun! The more he read, the more enjoyable he became, so he licked his tongue. That's it. This is beyond ordinary people's understanding and puzzling. Most people say that reading the Bible is so painful. Can I harm children? Why not go to the Bible study class? So he won't be happy until he reads the Bible honestly. Reading three-character classics and disciples' rules is also good, but the happiness is not so deep. It's good to play games, tell stories and read classics, but you can't have such concentration. If a person has a certain concentration, and then he goes to read, the classics will become one with his heart, and he can understand the truth of the sages of heaven and earth in silence. Don't say he doesn't understand Why do children change their temperament when they read more famous books? Where has he changed? He even changed his eyes. Why? You can't find one reason after another, but when you combine them, you will know that this kind of reading is effective. One of the most cost-effective investments: reading classics is a lifelong brewing, and the more you grow up, the more you can show it. Because the child is so young, he can only absorb it, but he can't show it. He is still a 15-year-old child who can read classics. He knew a little at that time, but he didn't know enough because he didn't brew enough. Therefore, reading the Bible is brewing. After absorption, our life will brew. It takes a lot of time to brew, and there must be a lot of classics in order to have a brewing effect. Therefore, it takes a long time to read more classics. But don't say, we study for the future, and now we should study hard, right? Not really, because he doesn't need much now, so after reading the Bible, he can use what he needs now. So some people say, do you know classics? I said, see what you say. Some people say that classics are so deep, of course they don't understand, which makes sense. But it seems to me that his understanding makes sense. How can I put it? Some people say that the depth of classics is the knowledge of governing the country and leveling the world, and it is the wisdom of saints. How can our children know such high knowledge when they are so young? This seems to make sense. But what do I mean when I say he can understand? He can understand what he understands now. Even a kindergarten child came to read the Bible. Reading the Analects of Confucius can read the Book of Changes, and he can understand it. How can he understand? Can he understand the truth of heaven and earth? No. He can understand what kindergarten children should understand. How did you know? He will naturally understand. Then ask him again, he is so young that he naturally understands? Oh, asking so many questions naturally makes me angry. I said, go back and see if your child is alive or dead, and you will understand when you are alive. You have to believe that this is life, and we are alive! When a child reads the Book of Changes, don't say that he needs to know everything. At least he read the Book of Changes and recognized hundreds of words, so don't think he doesn't understand. In fact, some wisdom can't be said, and he can't say it yet. Besides, he is so young and can understand so much wisdom. It's impossible, and he doesn't need it if he knows. What's the point if he knows? So it just fits the development of life, so now it's time to absorb it. When God arranged for us to absorb, we had an ability called brewing ability. What is brewing? Like wine, distiller's grains, sealed and fermented in it, how it is fermented is unknown to scientists, and you can't analyze how it is fermented. This is called brewing. If you don't seal it for a while, it will be immature, so the longer it is sealed, the longer it will be? The more fragrant. God's arrangement of our lives is also such a process. Just right, the most reasonable. You see, a child, his life is protected, he doesn't need to face complicated world problems, he is an innocent life. Now God has given him a high absorption capacity. He absorbs everything he sees and leaves it behind, which means that his ears are like tape recorders and his eyes are like cameras. He left it behind, not just something that is not dead. If this thing dies, it dies in life, but if it lives, it lives like yeast in life. Then the classic is alive, and he is slowly brewing. He is so small now, just like his ability, it is just a small ability, and this small ability can cope with his life in kindergarten now, even smarter and smarter than ordinary children learning kindergarten lessons, and can cope with his life better. So he's okay now. You hardly need to tell him the Book of Changes. It's no use telling him, because what you just said must be profound, and then he can brew what he needs now from the classics he reads, and it is often beyond his age. Think like this! So don't worry about what he knows now. By the time he was a teenager, it had been brewing for seven or eight years. His ability can cope with the world, his teenage life, and better than ordinary people. Of course, when he grows up, he will be in his twenties, thirties and fifties. At each age stage, what he has read before will gradually mature and will gradually provide him with great ability. You take this opportunity to let him absorb it easily and put it in his stomach, and our life will work for us, eh, isn't it easy? It's not that our life is working for us, but that God is working for us, so as long as we try our best, we will instill this classic into his life, which will accompany him all his life and have its new meaning every year, just suitable for his age and status. How does institutional education waste a child's life? If you haven't read such books since childhood, you only read kindergarten books since childhood. I tell you, when you get to primary school, the books you read in kindergarten are useless. You waste it, it can't be brewed, because it is dead, at least on the surface. So our whole world now, including studying in China, all the lessons we teach our children are facing the world at that time. And the world a kindergarten faces is very shallow. What does our teacher teach him? Teach him only superficial knowledge. He can live in his world, and he doesn't know if the child will grow up in the future. So the kindergarten teacher said, I teach him kindergarten classes. What about our primary school lessons? Primary school classes will be learned in primary schools. He will go to college in the future, 18 years old to study, okay? When I was eighteen, it was too late, I told you! Because it has not been brewed, it entered the university for brewing. So why are young people nowadays called uneducated? They have no wisdom, no temperament and no morality. In fact, his knowledge is not enough, and his interest and ability in reading are not enough. People have thus wasted their lives. So, if we can know the course of human development, don't worry, we will know what you should do. Moreover, God arranged the development of human life and gave us a very clear and simple way. So you did what God wanted. Your education is simple, relaxed and happy, so that it can last a lifetime of knowledge and talent, as well as morality and wisdom, as simple as that. Comparison between reading classics and doing school homework-reading classics is enough, reading classics is enough, what about other homework? So some people say that it is enough for children to read the Bible all day long. Don't we still have a lot of homework to learn? Some people say so. There is nothing wrong with us having a lot of homework to learn. However, he asked, is it enough to study only classics? What about other classes? If you had known the truth just now, you wouldn't have asked this question. Why? Because of the so-called other subjects, what are the so-called other subjects? It is the knowledge he needs at that age. For example, in the third grade of primary school, you go and see what you learned in school in the third grade of primary school, do you know? Learn what a nine-year-old should look like, right What is the knowledge of a nine-year-old child? It's as simple as that. It's easy for a capable person to learn these simple knowledge. So homework is to be done, but homework is so easy, so superficial, its value is so small, so little, so easy to do, we will use little mental strength to finish it, so for example, a person with great ability has so much ability that the content of homework is so little, and he has so much ability to do so little work. He just needs to do it with his fingers.

So why do we often say that reading the Bible is enough? Because reading classics is to cultivate great ability. Pay attention to this problem. If your ability is too small, you must devote yourself to these courses for eight hours. If a person's ability is a hundred times, he can learn all the lessons he has to learn for eight hours in just a few minutes. Why not cultivate children's great abilities? Why should he spend eight hours learning his useless things? Let me ask you something. So, are we blowing our own horn? You can answer what you just said, when God arranges us to absorb a lot, we always absorb it for him, and he can brew and absorb a lot of advanced knowledge and a little ability when he is alive, which is even greater than superficial knowledge and 100% ability.
