德育的故事【大禹克儉】

夏禹、娶塗山氏。僅四日。不以私害公。即去治水。後啟生。呱呱而泣。禹三過其門而不入。在外八年。功成後。受舜禪為天子。菲飲食而致孝乎鬼神。惡衣服而緻美乎黻冕。卑宮室而盡力乎溝洫。孔子賢之。   孔子之稱禹。曰、吾無間然矣。以禹之功高天下。德垂萬世。尊為天子。富有四海。而猶菲飲食。惡衣服。卑宮室。民到於今稱之。世人曷不以禹為法。克勤於邦。克儉於家。不自滿假。則惟女賢。   【白話解釋】   唐堯皇帝的時候。遍地發了極大的洪水。百姓們不能夠安居。所以叫大禹去治水。這時候、大禹新娶了他的夫人塗山氏。才四天。他不肯為了私事。妨害公事。所以就拋棄了家室去治水了。後來他的兒子名叫啟的生下來了。小孩子呱呱地哭著。大禹仍舊努力做著公家的事。有三次經過自己家裡的門口。可是沒有一次走進去。這樣的在外面有八年。大水畢竟給他平治成功了。後來虞朝舜皇帝把天子的位置讓給大禹。所以就叫做夏禹王了。夏禹王的做人。對於自己喝的吃的。都是很菲薄。可是敬鬼神卻很盡著孝心。自己所穿的衣服很不好。可是對於祭服和禮帽。卻收拾得很美觀。自己所住的房屋很矮小。可是對於人民田間的水路。卻盡力的講究。因此孔夫子很稱美他的。 【大禹克儉】2

Talk philosophy to a fool 對牛彈琴

對牛彈琴 【duì niú tán qín】有一個叫公明儀的人給牛彈奏古雅的清角調琴曲,牛依然像先前一樣埋頭吃草。不是牛不要聽,是曲調不悅它的耳。公明儀於是用琴模仿蚊蟲和牛蠅的叫聲,以及失散的小牛的聲音。牛就擺動尾巴豎起耳朵,小步走並聽著音樂。 啟示: 對牛彈琴- 比喻對不懂道理的人講道理,是白費口舌;也常用來譏笑說話不看對象的人。 如社會上大多數人都不太懂和尚尼姑出家的原因?更弄不懂他(她)們天天在寺院裡幹什麼? 可也許對出家人而言,他們的思想境界是超常的,智慧是打開的,出家人知道對一般人講修道之理,好如對牛彈琴。 因為修道的人是明白了更多世間的理,如“因緣關係”,”業力輪報” 和“善惡有報”等等,明白了人生的真諦和意義。 所以我們要多破除自己思想上的舊觀念,常試著用發展的眼光來看待周圍的所見所聞。 Long ago, there was a famous musician named Gong Mingyi. He plays the zither very well. But , occasionally, he does some silly things. One day, he … Continue reading
