這是一個真實的故事！
.
.
中國春秋戰國時期，有一位叫「甘羅」的小孩子，他爺爺是宰相。甘羅的爺爺受到奸臣迫害，皇帝為了刁難他，出了一個既特別又非常可笑的難題，要甘羅的爺爺找到公雞蛋；如果找不到，就要殺了他。
.
甘羅的爺爺在家裡非常著急，十二歲的甘羅知道之後就說：「爺爺，這個容易！我代替爺爺您上朝吧。！」
.
早上五更天還不亮，甘羅就等在了朝堂外。
早朝時間到了，皇帝在朝堂外見到這麼個小娃兒要見他，就好奇地應允了。
皇帝說：「小娃兒，你來找我有什麼事啊？」
甘羅：「我叫甘羅，我爺爺是甘老丞相。但是我爺爺病了，所以我來替我爺爺上朝。」
.
皇帝：「你爺爺生什麼病呢？」
甘羅：「他坐月子呢！」
皇帝一聽樂了：「你爺爺是個男人還會生小孩？」
甘羅：「是啊，男人不能生小孩，同樣的公雞也不能下蛋啊！」
.
因此，機智的甘羅，使甘老丞相躲過了這一難。後來，皇帝就允許十二歲的甘羅進朝幫皇帝料理政務。
.
所以，「知識就是力量」，知識多重要啊！
當你有了知識，加上合理運用的話，那就是智慧、就是能量——有時可以改變人的命運。
.
讓我們在週末共修一起來聊聊「德者、智者、能者」。
祝願朋友們都能學會，運用知識去創造更精彩的人生！

喜歡就請分享，多傳多福!

#週六共修預告、#德者智者能者、#金菩提宗師開示、#公雞下蛋 、#甘羅rnrnThis is a true story!
.
During China’s Spring Autumn Warring States period, there was a child, Gan Luo, whose grandfather was the prime minister. Due to evil ploys by court traitors, his grandfather fell out of favor and the emperor gave him a special and ridiculous task – to find eggs laid by a rooster. Failing which, he would be prosecuted.
.
Gan Luo’s grandfather became very anxious and worried. When 12 years old Gan Luo learnt about this, he comforted his grandfather, “Grandpa, this’s easy! I will take your place during the imperial hearing!”
The next morning, Gan Luo was already waiting outside the imperial court before sunrise.
The emperor was curious to have a young child attending his morning court and granted him entry.
The emperor asked: “Young child, you come to me for what matter?”
.
Gan Luo replied, “My name is Gan Luo and my grandfather is senior Prime Minister Gan. I am here to represent my grandfather as he is sick today.”
Emperor asked, “What’s your grandpa’s illness?”
Gan Luo responded, “He’s in confinement!”
The emperor was amused, “Your grandpa is a man; how can he bear a child?”
Gan Luo replied, “Indeed! Man cannot give birth just like rooster cannot lay eggs!”
With Gan Luo’s wit, the senior Prime Minister Gan escaped this difficult task. Subsequently the emperor allowed 12 years old Gan Luo to help in his administration.
Therefore, 「knowledge is power」 and knowledge is so important!
When you have knowledge and is able to apply it rationally, it is wisdom and energy. At times it can also change destiny.
.
Let’s discuss 「The Virtuous, The Wise, and The Capable」 during this Saturday’s Group Practice. Let’s learn how it can change our life and destiny.
.
We welcome everybody to share their views. May all learn to use knowledge to create a more splendid life!
