Confucius Kung Fu Tzu was born in China in 551 B.C. during a period of political anarchy. He taught that social order should start with personal cultivation (tu thân). He stressed on the right relationship between father and son, husband and wife, ruler and subject, to maintain harmony in the family first (tề gia), then extending this order to the country (trị quốc) and the whole world (b́nh thiên hạ). He dealt with neither theology nor metaphysics, and focused on moral integrity and correct political conduct to foster a peaceful and harmonious society. He died in 478 B.C.Kung Fu Tzu teaching was recorded in the
The Saying of Confucius Be not concerned at want of position; rather focus on cultivating thy real intrinsic value. Sorrow not at being unknown, but seek to be worthy of note. A heart set on Love will do no wrong. Love is to conquer self and turn to courtesy. Could we conquer self and turn to courtesy for but one day, all mankind would turn to Love. Strength and courage, simplicity and meekness are akin to Love. A man of worth can always talk, but talkers are not always men of worth. Love is always bold, though boldness is found without Love. A gentleman considers what is right; the vulgar considers what will pay. A gentleman trust in justice; the vulgar trust in favor. A gentleman is generous and fair; the vulgar is biased and petty. A gentleman looks within for guidance; the vulgar looks unto others. A gentleman is easy to serve, and hard to please. The vulgar is hard to serve, and easy to please. To know what we know, and know what we do not know, that is understanding. When asked about death, Confucius said: "We know not life, how can we know death". Fight thine own faults, not the faults of others. At initiating lawsuits, I am no better than another. To stay lawsuits is what is needed. To rule is to set straight. If we give an upright lead, who will dare walk crooked? The man of upright life is obeyed before he speaks. On friendship: "Talk faithfully to your friends; guide them with skill. If this prove vain. stop". A man who is earnest, encouraging and kind may be called "educated". Earnest with friends, encouraging and kind towards his brothers. Without thought for far off things, there will be troubles near at hand. Do not do unto others what thou wouldst not they should do unto thee.
The Book of Songs says: The hawk soars to the heavens
above That is to say, there is no place in the highest heavens above nor in the deepest waters below where the moral law is not to be found. The moral man finds the universal law beginning in the relation between man and woman; but ending in the vast reaches of the universe.
I Ching - Book of Changes This is the holistic science of foreknowledge by arranging and observing the subtle alternations of yin and yang, referred to as the Inquiry of Changing Signs. The ancient sages revealed all the possible combinations of yin and yang in a system called I Ching. They discovered that by throwing coins, seeds, or yarrow sticks in a prescribed manner, one could arrive at a specific arrangement of yin and yang which would comment on a question asked. By observing the balance of yin and yang changes expressed in a symbolic picture, one could determine the consequence of particular events and make good decisions that are harmonious with the apparent and latent aspects of any situation. The purpose of practicing the I Ching is to learn the balance of movement without following one's impulses toward an extreme and without becoming intellectually assertive.
