Disciples

Chapter 8

Original
If you say something, you must tell it, and if you oppose it, you must face it;
There is permanence in residence, and there is no change in karma.

Translation
Don’t forget to tell your parents before you go out, and don’t forget to inform your parents when you come back, so that your parents won’t worry about us; you must live in a safe and stable place, and don’t change your job at will, so that your parents won’t be able to find you for a while and worry .

allusion
During the Three Kingdoms period, Lu Ji of Wu State was very filial, and his filial piety was well known.Lu Ji was a clever child. Because he loved reading, he was well-informed and known as a "child prodigy". When he was 6 years old, Lu Ji met the famous Yuan Shu in Jiujiang.He could answer Yuan Shu's questions fluently, neither humble nor overbearing.Yuan Shu appreciated Lu Ji's profound knowledge very much, so he made an exception and gave him a seat and also gave him oranges to eat.After Lu Ji ate one, he thought that his mother could not eat it, and felt very regretful, so he secretly put three in his bosom, wanting to take them home to honor his mother.Unexpectedly, when Lu Ji bid farewell to Yuan Shu and bowed in bow, the mandarin orange fell out of his bosom.Yuan Shu was shocked by this, but Lu Ji didn't feel embarrassed by it. On the contrary, he said calmly that he was carrying oranges to honor my mother.This kind of answer made Yuan Shu appreciate him even more. Lu Ji is not only highly talented, but also has a very good character.His filial piety is widely spread.
