We then study the Disciple Rules, "Pan Love the Crowd." "All men must love, and the heavens shall fall together, and the earth shall be carried together." This sentence makes us really feel the spirit of fraternity in it, as long as it is a person, it is the same kind, regardless of ethnicity, race, religion, all must love each other. The same is born of heaven and earth, nourished by all things, and should be used by you and me to help each other and cooperate.

The ancients said, "A gentleman is different from a man, and he has a heart." "The ancients said that the reason why a gentleman is different from ordinary people lies in his intentions. Those who have a good heart will not only be the same as the sky and the earth, but the people who get along with you will be infected by you, and they are all peaceful.

The heart of a gentleman is not only the heart of loving and respecting others, but also the heart of cherishing life, so that he can be called a gentleman, otherwise he is a villain.

The only reason why man is human is this compassion. What makes us human beings and animals is that we have this kind of loving, compassionate heart.

"All men must be loved", it is for people. But if we want to be gentlemen and sages among men, then we must have compassion not only for people, but also for plants and animals.

Bai Juyi once wrote a poem about it, "Mo Daoqun's life is small", and he said that this "group" not only represents people. We all know the structure of the word "group", one is a gentleman's king, and next to it is a "sheep". "Jun" represents the spirit of all things, and "sheep" represents the animal kingdom.

We all think that the lives of animals seem to be very humble, not as noble as us. I often chat with friends and say, "It's very easy for you to have a sheep die, so what if you want a dead sheep to come back to life?" He said, "There's no way. From this we can see that in the face of death, people and animals are equal, there is no distinction between high and low.

"General flesh and blood", it is said that when we are attached to our parents and even children, animals are the same.

"Persuade the king not to beat the bird with the branches" is to persuade you not to hit the birds with the branches, why? "The Son looks to the Mother in the nest". When our children are at home, they look forward to the early return of their parents, and the same is true of animals.

Look at our ancient poetry cloud again: "Love rats often leave food, and pity moths do not light lamps." "You see, the ancients were kind, loved rats and often kept food, and cherished moths without lighting lamps. In the past, kerosene lamps were lit, and there were lights, so moths would die a lot of times. It can be seen that the ancients were really benevolent and fraternal to the extreme.

Therefore, we should respect each other, learn from each other, and care for each other with people and animals.

"All people must love, the sky is the same, the earth is the same", the heart of fraternity is first applied to parents, brothers and sisters, and gradually extends to love animals, cherish material life, this is the real implementation of fraternity, but also the most fundamental cornerstone of our human beings, we can not underestimate.

In our dealings, we must communicate with people with a non-demanding heart, that is, "do not seek retribution for giving kindness, and do not regret it with others." When we give grace, we really don't ask for anything in return, and we don't regret what we give.

Confucius said, "Ren is beautiful", which means that we should take benevolence as the standard in our hearts and reach the realm of benevolence, that is, to achieve the realm of truth, goodness and beauty. Therefore, each person cultivates himself and his family, and then naturally spreads his influence without deliberately expanding his influence. At the same time, it is also necessary to "love all things". We must cherish all the utensils and let them really make the most of them, rather than being deliberately damaged by us. We don't always think about ourselves, care more about and love all the people, things, and things around us, as long as everyone has this idea, then the living environment around us will definitely become as beautiful as heaven.

We must understand that "all people must love, the heavens are the same, the earth is the same", we are nourished by heaven and earth, our spirit of fraternity begins with loving our parents, loving our brothers and sisters, loving society, loving the country, and loving the world, turning selfish little love into fraternal love, so that we can truly have the qualifications to be human and truly live out the taste of human beings.
