Reshaping life starting from the Junior Class of HKUST

Chapter 59
"In today's popular terms, it is the outlook on life, values ​​and world outlook, plus their respective philosophical tendencies.

Let me talk about the outlook on life first: Taoism takes letting nature take its course and self-improvement as its concepts.

Buddhists take love for all living beings and selfless dedication as their concepts.

Confucianism takes self-improvement and meritorious service as its concept.

Let’s talk about values: Taoist culture promotes social harmony through its own perfection.

Buddhism realizes the value of life in the process of offering love to others.

And what about Confucianism?It is to constantly improve oneself to realize value.

As for the worldview, there is a big difference.

Taoism attaches great importance to nature, believes that the world operates according to laws, and advocates governance by doing nothing and letting nature take its course.

Buddhism emphasizes that the heart is the world, as long as the heart is pure, the whole world is also pure.

Confucianism regards the world as a stage to show itself. "

"After talking about the Three Views of the Three Schools, let's look at why the Three Views are so different. Then we have to start with their original teachings. According to the current fashion, it is their philosophical orientation.

Taoism is a transcendental philosophy.

Buddhism is a mentality of being born into the world, and doing things in the world.

Confucianism is entirely a worldly philosophy.

Thoughts determine actions.

It is obvious that Confucianism has developed more because it is closer to us.The rise of Confucianism among the three schools has also become inevitable.

These are some of my shallow understanding. "

"Oh, it seems that this student appreciates Confucianism!" Academician Qiu laughed.

"It's not to say that I particularly appreciate Confucianism, but the Confucian approach may be more beneficial to the public. Especially Zhang Zai's four sentences of Hengqu in the Song Dynasty:
Establish a heart for the world, establish a life for the living and the people, inherit the knowledge of the past saints, and create peace for all generations.These four sentences have actually brought Confucianism to its peak, and students also believe that our generation of scholars should pursue these four sentences. "

As soon as Wu Zhe finished speaking, "Papa" applause sounded from Academician Qiu's hands. This young man is really good, no matter in terms of vision or angle, he is absolutely unique.

As Mr. Qiu's applause sounded, other people in the classroom also applauded, which is an easy-to-understand explanation.Everyone can be regarded as having a certain understanding of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism.

"What's your name? Which college do you belong to? Are you interested in joining me as a graduate student?" Academician Qiu asked Wu Zhe after everyone's applause stopped.

"Junior Academy Wu Zhe, a freshman in grade 04. I'm afraid I won't be able to graduate from you yet." Wu Zhe also bowed to Academician Qiu.

"Oh, from the Junior Court! In this way, you can write me a detailed paper on the views just mentioned. No problem!"

"no problem."

What else can Wu Zhe say at this time?I only secretly smiled wryly, I didn't expect that my first thesis was not about mathematics, but about literature and history.

"Well, you sit down first! After the class is over, get me the contact information. I will communicate with your school about your skipping class. Okay, let's continue the class. Let me talk about it next—" Academician Qiu continued course.

"He is Wu Zhe from the Junior Court! He is really amazing!" This is the emotion in many people's hearts.You must know that being valued by an academician is no longer a problem, and papers are also invited.According to Academician Qiu's grades, the thesis is probably at the SCI level, even if he is in the literature and history category, it is quite remarkable.

----------

After class, Professor Yuan Wenshu from the Junior Academy went directly to the office of the Junior Academy, and talked on the phone with Academician Jin on the way.Make an appointment to meet at the office of Zhang Detong, the director of Wu Zhe's class.

When Professor Yuan arrived, Vice President Jin Xuehua and Professor Zhang Detong and Professor Qian Feng from class 2 were already waiting for him.

After entering the room, Dean Jin was not polite to Professor Yuan, and said directly: "Old Yuan, what is the specific situation?"

"That's fine, let me explain the situation in detail first." Professor Yuan began to tell everyone about today's events.

"I don't object to religious beliefs, but I'm afraid that he will be obsessed with it. The higher the level of comprehension, the deeper he will be involved in this aspect. There are not only one or two in Beijing University! I believe everyone knows how good Liu Zhiyu's qualifications are. , that is someone who can fight Tao Zhexuan without losing the wind. But now? One is a monk, and the other is the youngest full professor at Harvard University. The other one, Wu Zhe is only 15 years old, and it is time for guidance."

Professor Yuan's words are not unreasonable. There are now more than 1400 students in the junior class, and only more than 1200 graduates.There are many reasons for this, but the one above is by no means ruled out.

"Well. According to Professor Yuan, this matter needs to be taken seriously. Professor Zhang, please tell us about Wu Zhe's performance." Dean Jin said to Zhang Detong.

After hearing Professor Yuan's words, Zhang Detong became a little anxious. After all, he is the class teacher, and he is very optimistic about Wu Zhe.Hearing the dean's request to talk about Wu Zhe's situation, he immediately opened his mouth and said: "Student Wu Zhe's talent is the only one I have ever seen in my life. He got full marks in all the exams at the beginning of the semester, and he is also proficient in five languages. As a class leader, he can unite people and convince everyone. He is very popular, and he is usually cheerful! And the teacher who tutored him in the math and simulation competition said that as long as Wu Zhe plays the national first prize normally, there will be no problem at all."

"Hehe, I believe this is very popular with everyone. At that time, there were almost 20 people who stood up for him! Good guy, and a female classmate also stood up."

Speaking of this, Professor Yuan paused for a moment and then suddenly said: Female classmate?By the way, do you think it has something to do with puppy love? "Professor Yuan asked.

Zhang Detong, Dean Jin and the others looked at each other and said: "This does not rule out the possibility, young people love it. It is also human nature. Another thing is to pay attention to campus bullying. But with Wu Zhe's skill, if he does not bully others Very good."

Several people glanced at each other, it seemed that it was a juvenile emotional problem.Then you have to do a good job of communication.

"Ahem, I think you can communicate with Professor Zhang about this matter. We are not against falling in love! Although Wu Zhe is already a college student, he is still young and belongs to puppy love after all. His parents are not around, and we as teachers need more attention." Pay attention and care. But we must pay attention to the method and method, and we should not be too opposed to falling in love, and don't make him feel that all thoughts are empty and he has really gone to become a monk. Professor Zhang, you have to grasp the speed here." Dean Jin cleared This is where the throat comes in.

Zhang Detong's face is full of embarrassment. Are you talking about letting him talk or not letting him talk about it?He has no experience in dealing with puppy love!It's all in college, who cares about it.But when the dean spoke, Zhang Detong could only agree.Let's chat with Wu Zhe first!

While chatting here, Dean Jin's phone rang.Looking at the call, it was Academician Qiu's call.Dean Jin stood up and went outside to answer the phone.

After answering the phone and returning, everyone saw that Dean Jin's face was a bit unsightly.It's not good to ask directly what happened.They could only stare at him in silence.

"Then Wu Zhe is really promising. He can make an academician call me to intercede. Lao Qiu fell in love with Wu Zhe, saying that he has a high understanding, especially a deep understanding of religion, and let us cultivate in this direction. Zhang Detong, what are you doing? Is it because the people in your class are too busy? People who study literature and history are digging people to our junior college. You should pay close attention to people. Listen to Professor Qiu’s talk about Wu Zhe’s understanding of religion. They are very knowledgeable in all aspects, especially in Buddhism. They had just exchanged after class. Some of the knowledge of ancient Sanskrit that Wu Zhe raised was not very clear to Lao Qiu. If Wu Zhe really becomes a monk, Zhang Detong and I will be the first to find you. "After speaking, he got up and left.
