Login i Login hs, Php r even being sued by the parents. Currently, we live in a world where
the relationships between people, between people and their environment, between
parents and children, between husbands and wives, and between employers and
employees are disintegrating. Parents no longer act like parents. Children do
not act like children. Without proper education our minds become polluted and
our family system disintegrates, as evidenced by an ever-increasing divorce
rate. Soon planet Earth will no longer be fit for us to live on. Many of us are
fearful for our futures and the futures of our children. We hope that by
reintroducing this book, it will provide guidance for parents and children. In
this way, future generations will benefit from it and our world and society at
large will be more at peace, and we will all have a better place to
live.
As mentioned before,
Confucius said: ¨A good student and child must first learn to be dutiful to his
parents, and also be respectful and loving to his siblings.〃 In accord with the
ancient Chinese educational system, this book starts by teaching us how to be a
good dutiful child when we are at home, and how to be a respectful and loving
sibling when we are away from home, including how to be respectful to our
elders. Therefore, these two duties are the headings for the first two chapters.
The first chapter is on ¨Xiao,〃 which is a Chinese word that means being dutiful
to oneˇs parents. All the ancient saints and sages thought ¨Xiao〃 was the most
important duty in a personˇs life. This chapter teaches children the proper
conduct on how to talk to and behave in front of parents, and what their correct
attitudes and manners should be.
The second chapter states
the principle and standard of conduct for the younger sibling towards the older
sibling when the younger siblings are away from home. In Chinese, the word ¨Ti,〃
which means sincere fraternal love, describes the love between siblings. In
Buddhism, its meaning extends further to include conduct towards all persons who
are older and as the same generation as ourselves. This chapter then further
expands this concept towards our elders. It teaches us how to show respect to
the elders and what our correct attitudes and manners should be.
Even though in this book
there is no separate chapter on the standard of conduct towards our teachers, it
is understood that all the principles and standards taught in this book should
also be applied to our teachers.
The third chapter teaches
us how we should be cautious in whatever we do daily, whether we are interacting
with people, matters or things. The fourth chapter teaches us how to be a
trustworthy person. It teaches us that we need to be cautious in the language we
use, in our behavior, and in our thoughts. We must also believe in the teachings
of the saints and sages. A saint is a person who truly and thoroughly
understands the facts about life, and about this universe. In China we call them
saints. In India, people call them Buddhas. In western culture people call him
God. Actually we are all talking about the same thing. All their teachings come
from hearts that were true and pure. They have all seen the truth and this truth
will never change with time. Therefore, no matter who they are as long as they
are saints, Buddhas or God, they speak the same truth and if it is the truth,
then their messages are the same.
The fifth chapter tells us
that a person must love all equally. The love it talks about is universal love,
not worldly love. It teaches us that as human beings we should have compassion
for all people. To be a person of compassion, we must first start by being
filial children: respecting our parents and by loving our siblings. Then we
should learn how to expand this love and respect to include all who are parents
and siblings. Eventually we will learn to love all people equally.
The sixth chapter teaches
us to be close to and learn from people of virtue and compassion. There is an
old Chinese saying that a person with virtue and compassion has no enemies.
¨Xiao〃 and ¨Ti〃 have been the very foundation of Chinese culture for five
thousand years. Those two qualities separate a person from an animal. ¨Xiao〃 and
¨Ti〃 are the minimum requirements for being a human, while compassion and virtue
are the highest standards set by Confucius for being a human. For us to reach
the highest standards, we must first fulfill our duties to our parents. But
where can we find these people who are truly compassionate and virtuous so that
we can be close to them and learn from them? The world today is in great
turmoil. It would be a difficult task if not impossible to find even one person.
If we cannot find that person, the next best thing is to follow the teachings of
saints and sages from the past and learn from them. If we belong to a religious
group, we can always follow the teachings of our religion. We can select from
any one of the groups just mentioned and just follow the respective teachings to
be our guide in this life.
The seventh chapter tells
us that after we have accomplished all the above duties, we should further study
literature and art to improve our cultural and spiritual life. Confucius set a
standard for us as to what kind of books we should read and what kind of books
we should avoid. The kind of books we should read had to have a positive effect
on us. Any book that causes a negative impact should always be avoided.
Confucius expected every one of his students to be a balanced person, whose
inner qualities, like a personˇs virtues and integrity, had to match that of
outside, which were developed from the study of literature and art. Only then
will this person become a truly refined person, with integrity and a noble
character.
