Sinopsis

The teachings of the great Chinese philosopher Confucius have had as great an impact on the culture of the Far East as The Bible has had on the culture of the West. As they are presented here, The Teachings of Confucius consists of 'The Analects,' 'The Great Learning' and 'The Doctrine of the Mean.' The Analects is the most important of the teachings of Confucius. It is a collection of speeches and discussions between Confucius and his various disciples that illustrate his precepts: that anyone, regardless of his station in life, could become a superior man by living a virtuous life.The Great Learning is a protocol for living, even the humblest actions of everyday living. It is embodied by the practice illustrated by the Seven Steps.The Doctrine of the Mean deals with the means of achieving perfect virtue by following the middle way. It is a Heavenly prescription of the golden path by which learning and teaching ultimately unfold into perfect virtue.Like other great teachers, Confucius advocated action based on empathy, on practicing The Golden Rule by only doing unto others as you would have them do unto you. His aim was to improve the value and quality of life for all mankind.Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission.

That being established, all practical courses naturally grow up. Filial piety and fraternal submission,-are they not the root of all benevolent actions?'The Master said, 'Fine words and an insinuating appearance are seldom associated with true virtue.'The philosopher Tsang said, 'I daily examine myself on three points:-whether, in transacting business for others, I may have been not faithful,-whether, in intercourse with friends, I may have been not sincere,-whether I may have not mastered and practiced the instructions of my teacher.'The Master said, 'To rule a country of a thousand chariots, there must be reverent attention to business, and sincerity, economy in expenditure, and love for men, and the employment of the people at the proper seasons.'The Master said, 'A youth, when at home, should be filial, and, abroad, respectful to his elders. He should be earnest and truthful. He should overflow in love to all, and cultivate the friendship of the good. When he has time and opportunity, after the performance of these things, he should employ them in polite studies.'Tsze-hsia said, 'If a man withdraws his mind from the love of beauty, and applies it as s
