The word "virtue" actually covers such a huge secret!

To the right of "virtue" is "ten eyes and one heart". Let’s talk about the word “one” here first. We all now understand "one" as a number, and think that one is the simplest. In fact, this number is the most complicated. It has the most explanations in "Shuowen Jiezi". What does "one" mean in it? "In the beginning of Tai Chi, Tao stood in one, created heaven and earth, and transformed into all things." Therefore, this "one" is the ancestor of all things, the ancestor and origin of all things. From one, Yin and Yang are derived, and heaven and earth are derived. So this horizontal line actually separates the heaven and the earth, with the sky above and the earth below, and "ten" means "the world in ten directions, all directions". So it is very interesting for everyone to see the word "virtue". The "ten eyes" above the "one" means that the sky is full of eyes. The heart under "one" is of course the human heart, so God's eyes look at the human heart. There was a saying in the past, "There is a god three feet above the head" and "The dark room is full of heart, and the eyes of the gods are like lightning." That is to say, God's eyes are everywhere, and the eyes of the sky are looking at the ground. This shows what the ancients believed to be "virtue", that is, no matter whether anyone is looking at you or whether there is any legal investigation, your behavior must comply with the laws of heaven to be the real "virtue".

Laozi said: "All things respect Tao and value virtue." All things cannot come into existence without Tao, and cannot be achieved without virtue. The survival and development of all things in the world and on earth are due to moral upbringing. Virtue is a high-energy substance that is invisible and intangible but does exist. It can be said that the word "virtue" determines everything about a person, and the amount of virtue determines a person's blessing and destiny. As the ancients said: "Those who are virtuous will gain" and "those who are virtuous will lose". For ordinary people, without "virtue", you will have no blessing; for those who practice chain, without "virtue", you will not be able to cultivate the chain, because cultivating the chain is "turning virtue into merit", and you do not have the "virtue" to transform "achievement". Therefore, "mind" (including "virtue") is the most basic and crucial thing that enables practitioners to improve their level and obtain high "gong".

People's good and bad fortunes are closely connected with virtue. Having virtue is a blessing, and not having virtue is a disaster. This is the true meaning of "the way of heaven has no relatives, but always associates with good people". In ancient classics, "Shang Shu?" "Gao Tao Mo" describes the nine virtues of the Communist Party - the standards for nine kinds of behavior: "Broad yet firm, soft yet upright, willing yet respectful, chaotic yet respectful, disruptive yet perseverant, straight yet gentle, simple yet incorruptible, strong yet restrained." , strong and righteous." In "Shang Shu?" In the chapter "Hong Fan", there are also three virtues mentioned: "The first is integrity, the second is strength and restraint, and the third is softness and restraint." In "The Rites of Zhou?" In the chapter "Di Guan", there are also six virtues mentioned: "knowledge, benevolence, sage, righteousness, neutrality and harmony". In The Analects of Confucius, Confucius talked about the five virtues of "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith". The ancients had great respect for the gods, heaven and earth, and were able to abide by the Tao and observe virtue. Therefore, they had good moral character and great blessings.

People in today’s world often make morality nihilistic and superficial, thinking that the word morality is just a kind of preaching without real connotation. Its meaning and its huge material and spiritual energy. Therefore, people today are far from the Tao, lack virtue, have little blessings, and suffer many disasters.
