The story of a Confucian scholar during the Tran dynasty in Hai Duong, shows the immutable morality: Growing melon is melon, growing beans is pea, the sky is immense, sparse but does not fall.
Dubbed "The ancient heavenly pen", Nguyen Du's Truyen Ky Luc Luc (living around the 16th century) recorded the mysterious stories that contain moral lessons based on universal values ​​are still right for to this day. Most people today say that it is a fictional literary work, and those who have faith consider it a genuine reminder of human morality. In the busy and intense flow of history, what remains is not gratuitous, largely moralistic in it.

Read old stories to remember the old religion, people who still remember the old religion are not afraid of decadence.
Under the Tran dynasty, there was a Confucian man named Pham Tu Hu of Cam Giang (now Cam Giang district, Hai Duong), studying under Mr. Duong Tram. He often admonished Tu Hu for being arrogant, from which he tried to modify, becoming a person of good character. The day the master moved, all the other students left, only Tu Hu made the house next to his master, took care of the tomb, worshiped properly for three years to return home. After forty years of age, when Tu Hu failed to pass, he went to the capital to study on the shores of West Lake.
One morning in the fog, he saw a golden crown of pearl fly up into the air, and then there was a car with pearl beads attached to it. When Tu Hu stole a glance, he saw his teacher Duong Tram. When he tried to collapse, he waved his hand and said, in the middle of the road, there was no place to talk, tomorrow night to the North gate of Tran Vu temple, teachers and students chatted.
According to the teacher, Tu Hu shopping and bringing food to bring, teachers and students meet happily. Duong Tram said the reason why he had just died was so obvious:
“When I was alive, there was no good thing to commend, only or to keep the true faith of my teacher, cherish the words with paper, whenever I see them drop down and burn them. His Majesty, he commended that he had a good heart and asked for permission to resign as an official at the door of Tu Dong (meaning the residence of the Emperor). Yesterday, I prayed that he would go to heaven and pray to meet you, that's because our teachers and students have a predestined relationship ”.
He also said he looked after the exam literature, the high and low names of students in the world. That Prince of Death asked about his recommendation path. He said that Tu Hu had a talent that few people could match, but because of his pride, he was caught late by the Imperial Army.
“Just like your talented literature, at this time no one else could match, let alone you have a loyal and honest loyalty; There are times when they often take literature and arrogance with others, so it was only late that they had to stop to have to falter. virtue is thus ... ”


Zhuang Yang also praised the virtue of the Confucianism, criticizing the Confucian scholars who were cunning and treacherous. As a matter of cause and effect, Tu Hu recounted the names of the visiting officials who were imposing on the monsters and wished him to tell them their fate. Zhuang Duong asserted:
“Growing melons gets melons, beans are planted. The sky is immense, sparse, but it does not fall. Just because time has not come yet. Now we tell you clearly, in the sky and the earth, in response to samsara, there are only two species of good and evil. Those who work hard to do good, but still alive, the name was written in the Imperial Palace. People often do evil, do not wait until death, the sentence was completed in the Underworld. So when Nhan Hoi lived in an alley and died as a priest (1), Vuong Bang used to have a good sense of pride and died without a beard on the ground (2).
Not like people in the world, you can borrow so that you can be an official, you can get money from the plague, the punishment is too abusive, the reward is too natural, you bow your head hard, even though cowardly also reminds Up, he won the time, thanks to bribe that from. You should try, don't sow karma in your next life. ”
Tu Hu then asked me often to come to the Imperial Shrine to pray for a dream, to inform me about my future career, but it was unclear what the real outcome was. Zhuang Yang laughed that the Emperor did not care about such trifles. But those who are pure and devout to your heart may see.
Seeing that Hu Hu wanted to see the fairy realm, Teacher Zhan asked the Emperor to let him be satisfied. Yang Yang Station led Tu Hu to visit the buildings in Thien Tao. What is the "door of virtue" in which there are more than a thousand living elves who love everyone, though they do not have to devote all their money to almsgiving, but know that depending on the time, they will not be stingy, not snobbish. , which the Emperor praised as having Nhan.
Which is the "Door of happiness", of which there were more than a thousand of elites who lived in filial piety, the Imperial Army praised them for their heart and soul, so they were allowed to stay here.
In the "Confucian Gate", there were thousands of famous gods such as To Hien Thanh, Ly dynasty, Chu Van An, Tran dynasty, and Han, Duong dynasties, etc. born into the mundane world as a prime minister, a scholar, an Doan.
In the morning, Tu Hu had to bid him farewell to the lower world. The following year, he took the exam and passed the Ph.D examination. Since then, all the sand catastrophic blessed Tu Hu, often told about the teacher in advance.

In the final commentary, Nguyen Du said: Legendary story, the gentleman should not indulge, but if it is related to morality, the right moral advice should be transcribed and transmitted.
Now as the story of Tu Hu, there are so many moralities in them. Those who are arrogant, though knowledgeable and loyal, will still be punished by God, but will slow down their career. The borrower who is an official, thanks to the money to buy the stripped, cowardly, perverted, wicked people, will bear the retribution. The story also advises that prayers to the Holy Spirit must not be heard much, they must be heard, but one must have a pure heart, no desire, no prayer. At the same time advising people to live when doing good deeds, filial piety, righteousness, practicing Confucian morality. Good faith or disaster is based on the type of good or evil, will certainly report, just not until the time is not seen.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.6/4/2020.
