The time has come to read the scriptures. In the past, the whole society knew how to respect the classics and respect the sages, and wherever children went, it was a blessing. Children read classics in the school, and when they return home, they still read classics, because there is no TV or network at home, and parents do not even allow their children to read novels, and they are not even allowed to read poems and songs, for fear of affecting him to read classics.
Someone asks a Bible reader, are you happy reading the Bible? Did the teacher hit you? Do you like the academy or not? Do you like to read the classics? Do you like to read the classics or do you like to go back to your old school? ......
A child who is good at reading classics, when you ask like this, he will immediately shake, and he will think that not everyone recognizes reading classics like his parents, and why should I read classics when people don't read classics? Do you think about how he feels in his heart?
So in such an era, it is difficult for a child to settle down and read the classics, his heart is easy to let go and difficult to receive, you are not honest and large, not only the only one, reading the scriptures, how can he read the classics well?
In our time, pollution is on the rise. If we do not firmly grasp the reading of the classics, the strength is not enough, it is difficult for the child to have enough immunity, it is difficult for him not to be engulfed by the times. You don't read the classics honestly a lot, but the pollution is "honest a lot"! When a child goes out, it's pollution.
I came home for the New Year, full of homesickness, took the train to our city railway station, got on a minibus, and a police film was playing on the minibus, and I rushed home with the deafening sound of gunfire, and when I got off the bus, my mind was blank. And the children are watching!
In the case of increasing social pollution, if we read the classics without a little strength, casually, in society, can children withstand the rolling torrent of society? In the chaotic world, you have to increase your efforts.
What is most valuable in all learning? What is the most powerful way for a child's growth? Of course, it is still the most valuable and powerful way of the classic. Do you teach poetry and song to have such an effect? Do you teach piano, chess, calligraphy and painting with such an effect? Do you tell stories with such an effect? Of course, there will be some effects, but it is relatively small.
Parents in this era, the mentality is easily shaken. A little wind and grass in the society, the parent's heart will be up and down, he has doubts about reading the Bible, he began to worry about the future of the child, worried about whether the child in the school has been thoughtfully cared for, so that one worry and two worries, when the child goes home again, he will feel it.
The child is very sensitive, he will definitely capture the changes in the psychology of parents, he will definitely show that he is not willing to go to school, unwilling to read the classics to show you! As long as parents have such worries, thinking that the child is painful to read the classics and live in the school, the child must show him a very painful look to show you, you don't think that you don't know if you don't say it. Some parents say, I have given your child to you, do I still not believe you? Don't believe you, do I dare to send? Seems to make sense. But he was always monitoring the school's every move, a little problem was immediately nervous, the child had a cold and fever, bumped and bumped, all of a sudden nervous, he was nervous, as soon as he was nervous, the child immediately did not want to read. Because the child feels that the parents and the school are not one heart, he has a hole to drill.
So today, it is really not easy for a child to read the classics, first of all, the parents must agree, and then the grandparents can not stop, if the grandparents are too strong, the child still cannot read the classics. In this way, if there is a little wind in the society, such as which private school has a problem, beating the child, as soon as the news report comes out, the parents see it, and they begin to worry that the child's reading status will be affected. In this case, it is difficult to say how long a child can read in the school, and some parents vow to let their children read the Bible for ten years, but when the child occasionally has a small problem, he panics and rushes away.
A child in our hands can read the Bible for a few years is unknowable, we are not like the system of education, the child there with the masses to climb up level by level, is stable, you can plan well, but we do not have this condition, so sometimes I say that we are not doing education, we are doing the work of salvation, saving the child in the water and fire! Catch up one is one! You caught him so hard that you let him read the scriptures, hoping that he would go on the right path, but maybe one day he would go away, and you would never be able to catch him again.
There was a mother who was very determined to send her child to my school to read the classics, and just one day after reading, the child's grandmother rushed over and cried, and the look of grief seemed to be life-threatening, so she had to quickly let her take the child away. Then this child will only have one day to read the Bible, and his blessing will only be one day, no way!
So in this era of environment, you don't have too many delusions, you honestly read a lot of classics, this child comes, we will be in place in one step, read the Bible well, so that he is most worthy of him. You teach the Disciple Rules for one year, teach "Three Hundred Thousand" for another year, and then tell stories to explain and explain, maybe in the third year he will leave. So what was most important to him in his life? Or the classic is the most important thing to him! If he reads here for a year and memorizes the Analects of Learning Mediocrity, you are worthy of him, and you are worthy of his parents, and you are worthy of the hard work of his parents to send him out to read the classics! So honestly reading the classics in large quantities is not convenient, not irresponsible, but the most responsible!
Mr. Ji Qian said, "Those who are not blessed cannot read the Scriptures, and those who do not have great blessings cannot read the Scriptures in large quantities." Before, when I heard such words, I would smile and think of it as "Professor Wang's humor." But the longer I have been engaged in Bible reading education, the more I truly feel that a child, a person, and a family cannot read the Bible without considerable blessings.
What is the Sutra? What is Bible reading? Reading the Bible is different from any other education, any other study that you have come into contact with, that you have learned, that this is different, that it is not at all the same, that it cannot be compared.
Reading the Bible, reading the way of the sages, the way of heaven and earth, the highest, deepest, and most vast wisdom of mankind, are all condensed in the scriptures. Reading the Bible, reading is the heart of the sages, the heart of heaven and earth, in harmony with the sages, with the heavens and the earth, so that a mediocre and ordinary life, transcended into a wise and eternal life. Any other education or study can only change one's life more or less, deeply and shallowly, and only by reading the Bible can one change one's life completely and completely.
Therefore, the ancients said: Everything is inferior, only reading is high.
Therefore, the ancients said: Loyalty is passed down from family to family for a long time, and poetry books are passed on for a long time.
Therefore, the ancients said: Scholars are the treasures of the country, and Confucianism is the treasure of the table.
Therefore, the ancients said: Although the ancestors are far away, sacrifices must not be dishonest; although the descendants are foolish, the scriptures must not be read.
……
Therefore, if you look at the Bible reading with a casual and sightseeing attitude, three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, and there is no ride, it is really a small look at the Bible reading, passing through the treasure mountain and not entering, and not knowing the value of the treasure.
If you encounter resistance, interference, difficulty, blows in your Bible reading, it is normal, you have to think, what are you doing? How easy is it for you, an ordinary man, to enter the core of wisdom at once, to capture the most brilliant wisdom in the world to transform and improve your life, to be friends with the sages, and to become one of the "sage circles"?
You let your children learn English, learn Math, learn piano, learn taekwondo, learn to cook... No one will stop you, but as soon as you read the Bible, someone will inexplicably come out and stop you. Of course, you have to climb out of the mud pit, and the person who is accustomed to the ease of the mud pit will definitely hold you back, whether it is good intentions or malicious intentions. At this point, you must know what you are doing—you are reading the Bible!
If you encounter difficulties in the process of reading the Bible or guiding your child to read the Bible, such as feeling bored, the child is crying and crying and unwilling to read the Bible, the progress is slow, the body is in such and such a situation, so if you want to retreat, you must also think, what are you doing? The Western Heavens have to go through 9981 difficulties, and you don't have the slightest difficulty to face when you read the Bible? Gentlemen are difficult first and then gain, do not experience wind and rain, where to see the rainbow? When I saw someone who had sworn to send his child to the school to read the Bible, the child unfortunately had a few days of prickly heat, and he was shocked and rushed away. Are you here to read the Bible, or are you going to the streets to buy groceries?
Not long ago, Mr. Ji Qian spoke to the students of the Bible Reading Teacher Training Class, and asked at the beginning:
"What virtue do you have?" What can be done? Can you let go of everything and come here to read so purely?
"What virtue is there?" What can be done? Able to read in this way?
"What is the virtue in particular? What can be done? Able to read such books? ＂
Yes, what ability do you have to have the privilege of reading the greatest book in heaven and earth? What blessing do you have to know these greatest people in the book, to share their hearts and minds, and to walk with them? So it is not easy to read the Bible, especially in our time when the tradition of Bible reading has been cut off for nearly a hundred years. A person, a family, if you want to jump out of the inertia of history, the mold of the times, and read the Bible for a long time and steadily, it is really easy to talk about, how to vacuum the colorful phoenix, flat up the ground and rise from the sky. But is it really hard to read the Bible? Non also! Reading the Bible is actually the easiest.
Isn't it? If you want to read the Bible, you don't need a fortune, you don't need a high-rise building, you don't need a diploma, you don't need a famous teacher, as long as you can afford to buy a book, you can read the Bible immediately, and you can teach your children to read the Bible right away. The metropolis can read the Bible, the poor countryside can also read the Bible, the Miao clan can read the Bible, and the children of the cold door can also read the Bible. Heaven is fair, and she makes the most intelligent wisdom available through the easiest way. A person, a family, can read the Bible as long as they want to read the Bible, regardless of whether they are rich or poor. Su Fugui, "reading" is rich; Su is poor, "reading" is poor; Su Yidi, "reading" Is yidi; Su Affliction, "reading" is suffering. The Scriptures are nowhere to be read.
Therefore, the difficulty of reading the Bible is not in external conditions, but in seeing faith. To speak of equality, this is true equality; to speak of freedom, this is true freedom. However, is it not a pity that such a simple and feasible thing concerns one's life is not happy to be unhappy? No wonder Mr. Ji Qian lamented that those who do not read the Bible are not blessed enough!
