The military is always the model of the direction of the old society. Men and women are opposites, like water and fire. No one wants to be a minor to receive the blessings of the people. But how to look at the military and the minor?

Confucius suggests that the military and the individual are distinguished by the two words  "virtue" . Monks consider virtue to be the life that self destines, while the virtuous person is virtuous. Here are the basic points that distinguish the two types of people.

1. Intellect

Wisdom not only refers to intelligence, cleverness, improvisation or high learning. Many high school students, smart but not yet reached the realm "military death." In addition, many impatient, active, even if the intelligence is also just indecisive.

The intelligence of the nobleman sometimes does not manifest in normal circumstances, just as the water surface of the lake does not ripen. Their wisdom is not the smartest time to seize the benefits for themselves but the high wisdom, luminous heart, generous tolerance.

Monks get static, calm, peace in mind. The act of moving, the more broken the work, always anxious, anxious. The intelligence of the military is to benefit people, for the country. The intellect of the little man is just a little care for himself.

2. Assignment

The military coupled friends as pale as water, the sub-human as the alcohol. As water is not meant to be bland, tasteless, but because water is pure, pristine, is the origin of all things. Water does not smell tasteless, but no one can lack water that can live. Alcohol is hot, but it only makes people sink in the moment of drunkenness, waking up everything is empty, drinking too much wine is tired, body, harm.

In the relationship with others, the military has always practiced the doctrine: " What you do not want, do not make people " (Confucius). They are committed because of profound meaning, not derived from benefits, reputation. They treat people with integrity, integrity, justice, impartiality.

The individual is the result of the raft, based on the words of interest that gather together. In their hearts are full of suspicion, suspicion even though the face said laugh laugh. They use tricks to eradicate dissenters with their own, causing many karmas, eventually harming themselves.

The military "harmony" without "copper", the "copper" who does not "harm". 

Speech and Behavior

The words of the high priest say heavy weight as Thai Son Mountain. There is a sentence: " The most common language, four code search " (say a word, four horses hard to chase). It was a word when it was not able to record, also the words of the nobleman is very prestigious, can not change.

The military "harmony" without "copper", the "copper" who does not "harm". Italy said that the gentleman speaks with peace and harmony, tolerance but not three must, follow the other. And the little man guessed that other people to accompany the words that in the heart is another belly, unpredictable.

The gentleman received, tolerate all opinions disagreement, also do not hide his heart, outspoken straight from the words. But the minor is always hiding his thoughts, with the face that is not content.

4. Gases

The air of the old man is still a matter of many people discussing. But in general, it can be summed up in a few sentences: not afraid of the strong, carrying the weak, the unyielding, the wealthy, the poor, the poor.

People often mistakenly think that the military must have the arrogant temperament, considering himself the only one between heaven and earth. But that is just the temperament of the lovelorn, the sky with the region. The gentleman cavalier, calm, living the Heavenly Heaven, according to the heart that still receive the highest reverence.

The gentleman in formal dress, calm in the soul, do not make fun of, too. And the little ones boast, and the voices of their voices are raised, and their soul is moved like monkeys leaping, and their horses are swinging, and they are not free.

5. Direction

Spiders living in the bushes do not know the lice of birds by the blue sky. The direction of the high-ranking troops, stretching four tanks, the view zoom out of the small gains before the eyes. They follow the Dao, increasingly enhance their realm, increasingly sublimated. The lesser, on the contrary, increasingly descending, disappeared by low desires.

In fact, that also reflects a completely objective truth. Only when it comes to the noble values, one can rise up and escape the ordinary life. In the immediate future is only small benefits, physical material is no way to let go of the mind that elevates his level.

6. Access

What a military life pursue, pursuit is the virtue. The thing that pisses people off is anxiety. The cultivation of virtue is the foundation of the air, the spirit, the spirit of death. The only small gains are made up of profiteers, not left-handed, right and wrong.

What a military life pursue, pursuit is the virtue. 

7. Educate

The gentleman always takes care of himself as the key, not let go. This practice shows that while contradictions, collisions, they can look inward, look at themselves, see the error itself since then constantly remodeling.

The opposite person always directs his gaze to others, refusing to look at himself. They ask others to be very high but to let themselves loose, not to expect their desire. They never find fault in themselves, always attribution to others. So before the trouble, they themselves are very embarrassing, instead of the main light conduct the sneaky surreptitious out of the lowly.

Someone said, " It's hard to be a military man in modern times. Thach Sanh is less, Ly Thong is much, where troops have martial arts land? " In fact, the military is living according to the Dao. The Tao is the eternal, which governs all things, including the human society. How can those who do not follow the Tao can survive forever? And why the heavenly advocates, the heaven is no longer in place again?

No matter what the society, the nobleman is always received respect, love. Because they are the elite of society, who can decide the nation's fortune. Many people have heard stories about Mengfeng, a famous ancient man.

Generous chivalry, trượng means, raising in the house 3, 4 thousand guests, reputation resounding. Fortunately, allied with Wei, Han beat Qin all three times, approaching Ham Coc. Qin retreated on entrenched, dare not go out. The sovereign countries see the good fortune of the country so good, then do not dare dare to invade the territory. A great man of such power! END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.4/7/2018.
