Confucius fell ill, and Zilu asked for prayer. "Prayer" is repentance and goodness in order to pray for God's blessing.
Confucius asked, is there such a thing? Is it useful?
Zilu said, yes. When giving the eulogy, don't people always say: "Pray to the gods in heaven and on earth for you" - I don't know if this road is in a hurry, the teacher is sick, he uses the memorial service eulogy to say things, maybe he has thought of the memorial service.
Confucius said, Oh, then I have been praying for a long time!
The disciples were so anxious about the teacher's illness that they asked god to bless them, but they forgot that the teacher had said that the sacrifice to the gods was because they had respect in their hearts, respected heaven and earth, respected heaven and earth, respected heaven and reason, and respected human morality, and demanded themselves strictly in this way, not for God's blessing and avoid disasters and profits. If it is for the sake of blessing, for the sake of gain, do not sacrifice to God!
Then Confucius has always respected God and respected others, and has always demanded of himself in this way, so he said, "Qiu Zhi Pray for a long time." I've been praying for a long time, what day or thing am I not praying for? Do you still use temporary "God" feet?
