Treating Others with Kindness and Care
Part 5

What is Di Zi Gui 弟子規?

Di Zi Gui 弟子規 is an older Chinese book that was influenced by the moral teachings of Confucius. It teaches us how to be a better person by describing how we should act, what kinds of habits we should have, and the proper way to look at life. 

If we can put these guidelines into practice, we will make life easier for ourselves and be a better member of society. We can never be too old or too young to learn how to improve ourselves, so any adult or child can benefit from studying the teachings in Di Zi Gui.

In our Di Zi Gui video series, we will go over a modernized translation of the teachings a few lines at a time, so that you can focus on making small changes and not feel overwhelmed by all the suggestions. Once you have successfully adopted the habits and changes from that particular video, you can move on to the next one and continue to steadily improve over time.

Together, let’s learn how to be a better person by making small but meaningful changes.

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT:

Praising the goodness of others is a good deed in and of itself.

When people are praised and recognized, this encourages them to try even harder.

Gossiping about the wrongdoings of others is a wrongdoing of its own. If the gossip causes severe harm, disaster is sure to follow.

When we encourage others to do good, this help us both build up our virtues.

If we do not try to dissuade others from doing wrong, that reflects poorly on both of our characters.
