Three basic mistakes that people cannot make

Teacher Nan Huaijin 2021-10-22

Confucius said: Being poor in virtue but having a high position, knowing small in mind but having a great plan, and having a low strength but having a heavy responsibility, which is rarely too far!The Book of Changes says: The tripod folds its feet and covers the duke. Its shape is rich and inauspicious.It is impossible to say anything.

The tripod folds its feet and covers the duke. Its shape is rich and inauspicious!This is the line word of the nine and four lines of the Ding Gua.The tripod has broken feet, which is a tripod with one foot broken.The character "Ding" used to be a pattern, but now it is written in the character "Ding".In ancient times, the tripod was a rice cooker used by the family. Before the Tang Dynasty, the big families used tripods to cook rice. In "Preface to the Pavilion of Tengwang", there is a saying about the Zhongming Ding Food House.

Chinese people say that big families are living together for five generations, and a family of one or two hundred people is much more complicated than a society!There are three daughters-in-law, eight granddaughters, and more than a dozen great-grandchildren. Plus three women in one vegetable market. Look at how many vegetable markets a family has!That society is extremely complex.Therefore, there was a Zhang Gongyi in the Tang Dynasty who lived in the five generations, and more than 100 families with bells and stewed food, big pot of vegetables, everyone took a bowl and left. They must not use a small kitchen to show fairness.

Emperor Shizong of Tang summoned him and asked him with emotion, what method can be used to handle family affairs so well?Zhang Gongyi wrote a hundred words of forbearance, and later generations called him Zhang Gong Bai Ren.As a leader and a parent, that's it.This tolerance is not just tolerance!Tolerance has many meanings. You must endure your anger and tolerate everything. As a parent, only tolerate can you respond to all changes and be in trouble.Zhang Gong Bai Ren is a very famous story. The emperor nodded after reading it, yes!right!right!Being an emperor is sometimes very hard.People who are leaders have different opinions, messy reports, frank reports, and flattering people who are good at being leaders every day. They all know that they know that they are tolerant.Tolerate!It's very difficult!

This line means that this tripod cuts off a foot, and a pot of hot rice is turned out, and it is turned on the face. Its shape is very ugly, and the rice is also scattered on the ground. If you can't divine this line, do business and do things, it can be said to be a mess.Although you won’t go to jail, you may become a rat crossing the street!

The saying that virtue is weak but respectful means that one does not have enough morals and knowledge, but his position is very high.It means that when we do business, we find a fool to be the general manager. Especially now when people do business, they call their wives the chairman. The checks are famous for their wives, and if something happens, the wife goes to jail.The wives do not understand the principle of being weak and respectful. They are clearly people who cook at home. Now that they have the title of chairman, they must be unlucky.

If you are wise but have great plans, you don’t have wisdom. If you want to be an official, the better, the more money you make in business, the better, or if you want to buy an island to be the king, you don’t have enough wisdom, but your plan is very big, and you are small and big.The strength is small but the burden is heavy. I can't carry it on my shoulders. I have to drag my luggage on my plane with my wheels, but I think I am a strong man with a thousand pounds. Isn't that bragging?

From this we know that there are three basic mistakes that cannot be made:

First, you have poor virtue and noble status, and you are not good at morality and knowledge. Everyone will praise you, especially monks. They become monks at a young age and worship you when they see you. That is really terrible!Do you think you can achieve enlightenment if you shaved your hair?Not that.

The other two are small wisdom but great planning, and small strength but heavy responsibility.If these three precepts are violated, it will be too bad, and there will be few exceptions.So Confucius said that if you can overflow the rice, you can't eat it after pouring it into a pot of rice, and you will make yourself bubble.

This phenomenon is beyond responsibility.I must have self-knowledge. Can I take on this burden and take on this responsibility? I must first weigh myself.
