Confucius is Prophet



The following is my answer to "Why God did not send prophets to China"

God did send Prophets to China. Many. Fu Xi 伏羲, Zhou Wen Wang 周文王, Kong Zi 孔子(Confucius) are Prophets.

The reason you're asking this question is because you put a narrow definition to the word Prophet. You version of Prophet is from the Abrahamic religions.

Prophet simply means the one who is able to experience Divine's consciousness and is able to receive the divine messages from God.

Remember, God's teachings vary in different places.

Confucianism stresses the importance of Humanity rather than God because the way to become a better human is also the way to glorify God. (Heaven in Confucianism context)

Confucianism & Political System



Today I want to talk about one of my favourite topic - Confucianism. 

Confucius has always been my spiritual guide.

Confucianism says that there is only goodness in human.  There's no "sin" in us. We've given the Love from God (Tian 天、Tai Ji 太极), which is also our naturally born conscience.  

Confucianism says that the capable ones are going to be leader eventually, regardless whatever political system they're in. This is the law of nature.  Because God arranged the path for them to become the leaders. Confucianism is always about to go back to the Law of nature, which is the divine law of God.

According to Confucianism, leaders have great responsibility to the people they lead. Leaders have heavy duties to perform. Leaders themselves have to lead by example. In return their followers will pay respect to them. So it's a two way thing.

Leaders have to always stay humble all the time because God is there watching all human. God is all that is. Staying humble is also very much aligned with the law of nature. If you're not against the law of nature, then yes you're on the right path and God will always take care of you.

So, democratic or not, does not really matter. There's no perfect system. Every system has flaws and can be misused for evil purpose. Most importantly, every individual must live the "Jun Zi 君子" out from them, and get rid of the "Xiao Ren 小人" that resides within themselves.

The True Form of Fasting



Here is how fasting works: 

When God tells you to stop eating, you will know its a message from God. There is no doubt at all. The message is very very clear. 

Throughout the fasting process, you will not feel hungry. You will not suffer at all because you don't feel hungry or feel uncomfortable. This is only when you fast according to God's order. 

When do you break? Very easy, either you receive God's order, or you start eating when you start feeling hungry again. Yes it is that simple, because eating when hungry is the the natural way. God will never not mean to make us suffer. God will never want us to go against the nature, for nature laws are God's creation. 
 

Wrong way of fasting is, you intentionally get into standby mode before fasting or before breaking. Stop doing that, because once u start doing that, you are not fasting for God, you think about your interest. Your intention to fast hence becomes impure. 

In the true way of fasting, there is no room for preparedness or readiness. You fast immediately when you are being ordered by God to fast. This form is the Total Surrender to God and yes this form is the PUREST form of you.

淺談中國土豪現象與儒家對策



我特从书里抽出这段与众分享。书尚未写毕,希望八月可完稿,十月出版。为我加油吧!

所分享之文字如下:

中国自改革开放以来,经济突飞猛进,“生下”为数众多的“土豪”,“先让部分人富起来”的策略圆满完成,剩下的是让所有人富起来。土豪是富人,不过并非每位富人都是土豪。土豪是带有“乡土”味的富人。所谓的“乡土味”其实主要指的还是土豪们一身的乡下习惯,时而随地吐痰,时而大声喧哗,时而凭有钱而不愿排队,时而挥金如土。土豪活在消费至上的资本主义社会,是可以活得非常好非常舒服的,不过土豪与传统的富人相比,两者同样有钱,但还是有些“地位不均等”。有些富人如乔布斯和比尔盖茨或李嘉诚等往往是普罗大众的“偶像”,许多杂志书本都很喜欢访问研究这些富人,而人人也喜欢向他们学习致富秘诀。所以,他们不仅富有,还获得多人的尊重。至于土豪虽富,却因一身的乡土习惯而赢不到尊重,国际公民社会的人往往对其自持有钱而不遵守公民秩序而看不过眼,故有人以土豪称之,来区别其他比较有“现代”涵养的富人。

发生这种事,有时这是大环境的影响,非土豪之罪。要知道中国在改革开放之前,曾经历了十年文化大革命,一个人活在文化大革命时期,本来一切身心都奉献给了文化大革命的“正确价值观”,但突然间政府说要“改革开放”,引进资本主义世界来的资金,政策突然一百八十度转换,踏上资本主义的路,价值观彻彻底底有别于文化大革命时期。文化大革命时期革走了传统价值观的命,所以踏入改革开放时期的中国人,根本已经是价值观混乱,而可说是在身处摸索期,尽力保护自己的利益,免为他人所欺负。

所以,复兴儒家的好处,在于为大家带来的“礼”。你我无须学习所谓的公民社会规范。因为孔子最最最推崇的礼已经很足够应付现代城市公民社会所需了。前人唾弃礼的核心精神,使礼变成一条条的教条,丧事生气与活力,最后整个社会因活在恐惧中,渐渐堕落,乃至不堪抵抗西方资本主义文明的魔力。你我要做的就是避免步上前人后尘。

一理通萬理、一教通萬教



今夜听印度教师尊开示,竟令我在儒学上有所领悟,真是“一理通万里、一教通万教”。亦是孔圣所谓的“吾道一以贯之”。

兼得以从中获得灵感,写入我的书内,非常开心。

我还问师尊两个藏在心中数年却一直解不通的敏感问题:

一)旧约圣经里的上帝为何不仁慈,因人拜金牛而震怒。要如何看待。

二)穆圣为何下令人摧毁天房内的偶像。

我曾往基督教和回教读物视频等寻找这两个问题的答案,却无法令我满意。

师尊所给的答案不仅令我疑惑全消,其答案还完全无损这两教的声誉。

非常感恩。

我只能说,解经典要解得准,一定要用心来解。

感谢上天给予我这经验。
