每週金句-No.114 君子以禮義養心,則心廣體胖。

君子以禮義養心,則心廣體胖。

  心性平穩安定,內守禮、外行義,在為人處世、待人接物所展現的樣貌與行儀舉止,看似樸實無華,卻由內散發出含藏的萬千氣度,讓他人不由自主地想要追隨效法。倘若,失了方寸節度,貪婪物質享樂,追逐聲色犬馬,樂此不疲,於是自身清澈通達的智慧受到障蔽,如何能夠做出明智、無愧的判斷呢?因此,仁人君子,要選擇何種處世方針,便不言可喻。

  A superior man nourishes his heart with courtesy and righteousness and he will then have a clear conscience and good physical well-being. If he is greedy for gains, his spirit will be fuzzy and his morale will collapse.
