天綱倫常什麼意思

天行健,君子以自強不息;地勢坤,君子以厚德載物。

As nature‘s movement is ever vigorous,so must a gentleman keep improving himself;as the earth is strong and vast,so must a gentleman be generous and tolerant to bear all things。

秋言物語 I——32 如何“趨吉避凶”

“趨吉避凶”這個詞我們常常說起,但怎樣才能做到“趨吉避 兇”,我想很多人都無從知曉。

古聖先賢除了告訴我們“積善之家必有餘慶,積不善之家必有 餘殃”,還告訴我們“禍福無門,唯人自招”。這些話都明確地指出 吉與兇是事物從起因到結果的過程。但人們往往只會看事物的結果, 而不能看到事物的起因。我們長期處在“知其然,而不知其所以然” 的狀態。

例如,夫妻之道。從倫理道德上講,夫妻之道乃乾坤之道。乾 為天,坤為地;乾為男,坤為女。換言之,夫為天,婦為地。《易 經》有言:“天行健,君子以自強不息;地勢坤,君子以厚德載物。” 這就是乾坤定位,這就是男女平等。平等的地位,不同的屬性!而現代人卻大肆強調男女平等,往往忽略了男女不同的屬性!

一個家庭,丈夫為天,妻子為地。丈夫要效仿天,自強不息, 週而復始;妻子要效仿大地,厚德載物,包容和承載,即使能力大 過丈夫,也要在心性和品質上守護著丈夫的地位。如果想掌控丈夫, 那就是倒反天綱,錯亂倫常,必有災禍發生。

秋言物語 I——32 如何“趨吉避凶”

因此,如何趨吉避凶?從人道的倫理道德開始,從夫妻的乾坤之道開始,從而悟得天地不滅的真諦!

We often talk about the phrase “get for good fortune away from the evil”,but how can we really get it。 I think a lot of people do not know how to really achieve it。

Ancient saints not only told us “A family that accumulates merits is bound to have extending blessings, while a family that continues to do evils is doomed to have endless disasters。”,but also told us also that “there is no door for the evil or good, and only one person can recruit himself。” These words clearly indicate that good and evil are the processes of things from the cause to the result。 People will often only see the results of things, but not the causes of the results of things。 We have long been in a state of knowing it, but rather than knowing why it is。

For example, the way of husband and wife。 Ethically speaking, the way of husband and wife is the way of the heaven and the earth。

The Chinese character “qian”(乾)means the heaven, “kun”(坤) means the earth。 Qian stands for male; kun stands for female。 In other words, husband is the heaven and wife is the earth。 The Book of Changes has said, “As nature’s movement is ever vigorous, so must a gentleman keep improving himself; as the earth is strong and vast, so must a gentleman be generous and tolerant to bear all things。” This is the position of the heaven and the earth。 This is the equality of men and women。 The equal status, the different attributes! Modern people, however, emphatically emphasize equality between men and women, and often overlook the different attributes of men and women!

In a family, husband is the heaven and the wife is the earth。 The husband should follow the example of the nature and strive for self- improvement。 The wife should imitate the earth, cherish the virtues, embrace and carry the burden。 Even if her ability is greater than that of her husband, she must protect her husband‘s position on the nature and quality。 If you want to master and control your husband, it is to rebel against the nature。 If you violate the law of the nature and morality, thus disasters are doomed to follow。

Therefore, how to get for good fortune away from the evil?

Starting from the moral ethics of humanity, and from the way of husband and wife, so as to realize the undying truth of the heavens and the earth truthfully!
