恕道待人 Being lenient towards others 五孝班 沈宇成

大家好,我是五孝班的沈宇成,今天我演讲的题目是恕道待人。

Good afternoon,everyone. I am Oscar from G5B. My topic is being lenient towards others.

 

恕道待人是孔子对为人处世、人生修养的一句概括。意思是不要对别人要求太高,要宽恕他人,也要推己及人。凡事替自己想也替人家想,就是对任何事情要客观,想到我想要的,别人也是要的。换句话说,是“己所不欲,勿施于人”。

Being lenient towards others is the summary of getting along with people from Confucius. It means that we should not be too strict to others, we should be lenient towards others. It calls for using one’s own mind to infer and understand other people’s mind. In other words, one should not impose on others what he himself does not desire.

 

恕道待人要宽容别人,当别人犯错的时候,要包容他们的错误,并给别人帮助。不要用自己的标准去衡量别人,要给别人成长空间。

Being lenient towards others means being tolerant to others, when others make mistakes, we should be tolerant to them and help them. Do not use your own standards to measure others’ behaviors , what’s more, we should provide development space for others.

 

譬如悉达多,当他在修行当中,有五个人追随他一起修行。悉达多在菩提树下开悟,他认为不该苦修,而应该回归自己。可是那五个同修对悉达多半途而废的行为感到不齿,他们离开了他前往别处去修行了。最后,悉达多开悟,变成佛陀,并且找到了那五个人,传授了他们修行的法门。

We take Siddhartha as an example. Five people followed him to practice together. Siddhartha became enlightened under the linden and believed that instead of practicing penance, he should return to the original intention. But the five followers were so disgusted by Siddhartha's behavior that they left him and went to other places for practice.Finally, Siddhartha became a Buddha, he found the five men and taught them how to practice.

 

让我们做一个恕道待人的人吧!

Let’s be lenient towards others!
