Confucius and his Views

To understand Confucius, one must know some of the history of Rai Na and the philosophical values of China. We have come to realize that no soul can transcend the thought environment at the time of its birth. Therefore, the position of confusion cannot be grasped if one does not grasp the Ch'i climate of the day.

Chai Na seers have worked hard to understand human nature, secrets of nature and truth. The curiosity to know about spiritual education, about the Supreme Being, about the Self is less visible among Chai seers. Chinese philosophers have discussed a lot about what are the best traits and what is the moral way of life. It means that they have given priority to practical problems. How should a human being behave in the community and in the family? Who is the best Vulu? What are the qualities of an ideal person? What is ethics? Should the social order be like a ladder? What is its purpose? Chinese philosophers have shown special talent in answering such questions. Tao tradition, Chai Na Buddhism, Neo-Confucianism can be said to be transformations of ancient Chinese philosophy.

It is indisputable that there were many thinkers in China before Confucius. But their teachings and their doctrines were not so successful. There may be many reasons for that. We cannot prove this with historical evidence. If we consider this as the first stage in the history of Chinese philosophy, the second stage begins with Confucius.

The Chinese name Kung Futgu is Latinized as Confusion. Canaphusus means master or official. In response to the question of what is an officer, he said 'an officer on knowledge' Confusion was born in a state called 'Lu'. He decided to become an educator. The Duke of Chou joined the temple as a worshiper and learned all the religious rituals. Kalakra Mana acquired knowledge in religious subjects. Due to this reason, many people from distant countries used to come to learn the rituals of Confucius. The ritual is called 'Lee' in Chai dialect. Kan (The Religion of Li or ritual) for centuries. Confusion in many governments in those days of values for righteousness

He made mistakes. But he gave up that they were not in accordance with his feelings and took Adhya Panam as his main profession. Even during the time of Confucius and even before that, the upper classes had education. Education is the right of every citizen, if there is no education, we are cattle Confucius taught that caste distinction is destroyed by virtue and education.

He worked hard for 40 years and taught 3,000 people. Confucius was the reformer. He introduced new reforms in religion and politics. He brought changes in the attitude of the rulers and in matters related to religion. So far we have come to know the religious beliefs, social and political conditions during the period of confusion. Let's learn about the newly introduced confusion in these fields.

With the fall of the Chou kingdom, China was in chaos at that time. Ethics, justice and righteousness have become worthless. Signs are out of place. When the country is in turmoil, man fights for fundamental principles. There is less attention on the beliefs and customs that come from ancient times. In such situations, innovation is needed. No one dares to come up with new ideas. Anyone who dares to come forward is ridiculed. But thinkers, philosophers and social reformers do not aim at these. Only then will philosophical thinking develop. He scrutinized and filtered the ancient ideas rationally and adapted them to the conditions of the day. In the effort, Kanyu Shus had to let go of some old feelings. Some t's have new meanings. This applies to all reformers. The intensity of the movement depends on the capacity of the reformer. Now here does it say that the reformer must be new. Old things can take on a unique shape when they are put in order. It may seem like a novelty then. This Shayam of Kanyushaspatla is 100 percent true.

Since ancient times in Chai Na, many sacrifices have been made to satisfy the spirits. Among these ghosts, the ghost called 'ti' is given more importance. Chai Naws believes

that spirits monitor the daily activities of humans and determine their fate. They fear that if these ghosts are satisfied, they will get wealth and happiness and if not, they will destroy them. They thought that all their sufferings were curses of ghosts. Those who do not do anything that does not contact ghosts. Tien was the main deity worshiped in the Chou kingdom. They also created many gods.

All of them considered the sky to be their home. All dead kings were thought to be in heaven. They were imagined as 'concil of gods'. They thought that they had absolute power over human beings, and that they could be the factors of human development and development, and they did not go to the basics of Confucianism.

Critics and historians have dismissed it as a cowardly act of confusion. Nothing can be said clearly in this matter. Confucius was more interested in social, political and moral reforms than in religious matters. When parents die, they mourn for three years. Confucius endorsed this practice as it developed devotion to the father and mother. He said that all superstitions and customs should be considered reasonably and its purpose should be identified. He needs such beliefs to keep the family together and to fear the elders. Even if such things cannot be proven demonstrably, some should be believed based on the standard of suspicion. The actual proof of these things is mind-blowing. Sathyam is also dangerous for those who benefit indirectly

Namoo said it was unnecessary. Consciousness did not reveal a definite opinion about the gods, demons, and demons. Kanafushan praises King Yu for his sacrifices. When asked how to serve gods and demons, he said to learn to serve man first. He said that after knowing about life, one can think about death. He said it is better to show due respect to the gods and demons and keep them away. Critics felt that these sentiments were contrary to tradition and that skepticism had taken root from them. He did not want to depend on one king or village headman or another. Similarly, one should not rely on gods and demons. Be loyal to the village headman and the king as much as you have to be loyal. This principle also applies to deities. If you depend on it, personality will perish.

Excessive force and sacrifices cannot remove the corruption in the community.

Confusion neither rejects nor accepts the benefit of Ailas and the effectiveness of Yagas. He said that social restoration is possible only through hard work. Some say that if they fall sick and suffer from confusion, some say that they will pray, and some say that they will be sacrificed, meaning that everything will happen according to God's will. The body is meant to work hard. To be strong, the body cannot work hard when it is sick. So to keep it strong, confusion trusts in the tie. Ten means heaven money,

We have noticed that dai vechchlan and dai vami have various meanings. Die said that he took up the reform movement because of the revolution. Chai felt that he was sent by God to bring about changes in the culture. When dangerous situations arise for him, he is free to act according to his will. He does not aim at the risk that others can do nothing without God's will. He said that he did not do wrong knowingly, he knew that his innocence was divine. He said that after his death he will join the presence of God.

Some would argue that Confucius did not say that justice and moral behavior always lead to success. Happiness, wealth, success - all these depend on many factors, he said. Ethical behavior leads to mental happiness. Ethical behavior develops out of a desire to help others. This gives great pleasure. When they were in trouble, they used to cry to the gods to fulfill their needs and make sacrifices to the gods to get rid of their troubles. Essentially, they strive to achieve a purpose. He used to think that he would get things done through sacrifices. On that day, various kinds of sacrifices were offered to fulfill wishes. Confusion teaches to reject evil In those days, Confucius wanted to stop such atrocities.

He sent the present through his disciples to the existing kings. He also sent the present to punish some who follow these rules. It is foolish to mention human sacrifices in Chari Traka texts, in texts about dynasties and in royal edicts. Hence there is no trace of human sacrifices being practiced in Yna in ancient times but their prohibition. But 20th century, archeology has uncovered hundreds of human corpses, skulls, bones, and mounds. According to them, it is evident that there were nervous sacrifices in the Han period.

In those days there was a custom of inheritance of kingship. This was not accepted by Confusion. They said that if their ancestors were kings, they should be kings. They believed that their forefathers were in heaven and were only following their rules. They used to advertise illegally. All this is pure foolishness and confusion. Rajyadhi Karma is hereditary. Confucius said that the kingship should come according to the qualities of the person. This shocked many people. Those who didn't understand him called Confucius a rebel. They tried to kill him for the second time. But Confucius put a burden on the god and escaped.

He said that a human being should have morality, courage and intelligence. Sacrifices cannot provide these qualities. He says that the more a person develops morally, the more merit he earns. Therefore moral life is important but it is a sacrifice. Many kings gained their power through such teachings. Confucius tried to divert people from superstitions to rationalism, from tantra to logic, from sacrifices to a moral way of life. Some places have failed. In some places Parabhava Mandi Nadu. In some places life was threatened. All this is not calculated. If you ask what is the purpose of sacrifices, let God know that he does not know

Nani said. Critics felt that Confucianism taught contradictions by claiming that rational thinking is all that is free. There is some truth in this. But Confusion's opinion is different. He emphasized that everything is God's decision. He said that human behavior should be examined when caught in danger. Man has freedom. He said that man has the freedom and independence to commit suicide. Therefore life is not divinely ordained, there is no contradiction here. Dry freedom may or may not change. We don't know that. He appears to be a rationalist only to those who fully understand his nature. Even the Buddha embraced Karmasiddhanta.

This is what Karri looks like when he rejects the soul. Confucianism does not teach passivity, that everything is divine. Everything requires human effort. Without human effort, even the gods do not help. All religions and creeds should be respected Life cannot go by clinging to them. We don't care too much about things that are out of our control. Heaven, gods, sacrifices - these are things beyond our control. So the less we think about these things, the better we will not misuse the powers and intelligence that God has given us. If they are used for the sake of the community, it will be like keeping the Dai Vajna. So work with faith in God, then the gods will not be angry. Good
luck if you follow the path will come

The word Tao has six meanings. We know that these meanings were in use even before Kanyushasa. The word au is used in 'Ena Lext' in the six meanings of 'road' or 'way', 'conduct', 'telling the truth', 'guide', 'activity' and 'method'. Of these, the most important method is michi naru. There is a place for righteousness when it is in the way it should be as an individual, community or state. There the gods are satisfied. When they are in the way they should be, when they walk in the way they should walk, there are no problems in the community. If there are fewer problems in an association, the association runs on a moral path. Confusion said that his path and purpose are one and the same. He said that his path is full of au. He said there is no other way except.
