子曰：“非礼勿视，非礼勿听，非礼勿言，非礼勿动“。本来三界唯心，万法唯识。（指十方三世一切有漏无漏法，皆因八识心王而有而显，八识心王复依第八识及无明而现于三界，无明业种及上烦恼随眠复由各自第八识所持而藉缘变现色身及世界山河，唯依第八识心而有，依第八识心而现，以第八识为根本。 心者：总有八识，唯第八识如来藏恒常坚住不坏，自凡夫位乃至成佛，皆是此识。） 但是如果我们的修行境界还没办法到达那样的高度，那么就要 不符合礼不看，不符合礼不听，不符合礼不说，不符合礼不做； 要符合礼的看，要符合礼的听，要符合礼的说，要符合礼的做。Confucious taught his students do not watch, listen, speak or do anything that does not ahere to the ethical standard. We have to be very vigilant in adhere to the rules. This requires constant introspection and self-reflection. And be alert the sway of the mind. I have to admit this is very hard to achieve in an environment bombard with all the information explosions. The power that be intentionally want to create many disinformation to confuse people, as they are afraid to the correct information that expose their not-so-decent intentions and abusing of power.
Amitabha Buddha taught something similar in his 48 vows. Amitabha Buddha’s 16th vow (out of 48 total vows) is: [16] If I should attain Buddhahood, yet humans and heavenly beings in my land would even hear the name of any unwholesomeness, may I not attain perfect enlightenment. (Reference to: Categorizing Amitabha’s 48 Vows in the Infinite Life Sutra )
This vow indicate to us the importance of culture and environment in influence our mind, body and spirit. That was why Amituofo had worked very hard to create a western paradise for advanced being to further cultivateboosting their practices. So Amituofo and Confucious teach us the same thing about interaction with media.《四种清净明诲》这是修出轮回的基础，是戒律中最高的“摄心为戒”。淫心、杀心、盗心、妄心，都是无量诸佛共同宣说的内容，是放之四海而皆准的恒定准则。 These practices is to help you depart from the four type of attachments. 所谓由戒生定，由定发慧，是为三无漏学。
Grown up in China Fujian Province where there was a general deep culture influence of Chan Buddhism and Confuciounism, I could not understand the widespread corruption and decline of moral standard in America, until I read the reseach paper Eclipse of Rent-Sharing: The Effects of Managers’ Business Education on Wages and the Labor Share in the US and Denmark by Daron Acemoglu (MIT), Alex Xi He (University of Maryland), and Daniel le Maire (University of Copenhagen). Fundamentally, the business degree including MBA education, which posts a huge number of college enrollment and tuition income, has plague the nation with a selfish mind and rent seeking greed, the silent destruction to the world is more violent than that of the neclear weapons.
When the elites of a country leverage their social status and power for self enrichment, the country has no hope. We see this manifested in sex offender, financier and international sex trafficking criminal Jeffrey Epstein. JPMorgan allegedly processed more than $1bn for Epstein over 16 years. Now four years after his death in prison, still questions swirl as lawsuit draws billionaire investor deeper into Epstein scandal. ‘Rambling’ Emails Reveal CREEPY Correspondence Between Jeffrey Epstein & Bill Gates: Report. “He’s Not Being Honest!” – What’s Elon Musk’s Connection To Jeffrey Epstein? Tara Lee Rodas, She is risking her life literally exposing the Biden Adminstration as ‘Middleman’ In Child Trafficking Operation.. She gives her opening statement on the child migrant crisis to the House Judiciary Committee.
Financial Money had turned into corruption of every cornor of the society. Even the most top power circle can not avoid such downfall. Max Blumenthal Details What Elites Are HIDING At Secretive Bilderberg Meetings.
The elites’ ethic debasement ranges from political arena to business, diplomatic circle to military group, from CEOs to school education, the decay from toxics of the mind is beyond words to describe. The research paper (Eclipse of Rent-Sharing mentioned above) provides evidence from the US and Denmark that managers with a business degree (“business managers”) reduce their employees’ wages. Within five years of the appointment of a business manager, wages decline by 6% and the labor share by 5 percentage points in the US, and by 3% and 3 percentage points in Denmark. Firms appointing business managers are not on differential trends and do not enjoy higher output, investment, or employment growth thereafter. Using manager retirements and deaths and an IV strategy based on the diffusion of the practice of appointing business managers within industry, region and size quartile cells, we provide additional evidence that these are causal effects. We establish that the proximate cause of these (relative) wage effects are changes in rent-sharing practices following the appointment of business managers. Exploiting exogenous export demand shocks, we show that non-business managers share profits with their workers, whereas business managers do not. But consistent with our first set of results, these business managers show no greater ability to increase sales or profits in response to exporting opportunities. Finally, we use the influence of role models on college major choice to instrument for the decision to enroll in a business degree in Denmark and show that our estimates correspond to causal effects of practices and values acquired in business education – rather than the differential selection into business education of individuals unlikely to share rents with workers.
According to AFL-CIO, The average S&P 500 company’s CEO-to-worker pay ratio was 272-to-1 in 2022. The Wikipedia wage ratio revealled that in 2017, the Leader of the Opposition Jeremy Corbyn called for an enforced wage ratio for any company awarded a government contract, of 20:1 between the executives and the lowest-paid employee. Switzerland had set a Popular Initiative “1:12 Initiative – For fair wages” by a referendum in 2013. In Canada, The Wagemark Foundation, a Toronto-based not-for-profit organization is working to create an international wage standard certifying organizations that can prove they operate with a wage ratio of 8:1.
Confuciounism is the totall opposition of the Mercantilism. 子曰：“无欲速，无见小利。欲速，则不达；见小利，则大事不成”。为什么不要只关注利益？孟子跟梁惠王讲了一个故事，深有启发。不与民争利；欲望是无止境的，民众得到再多的利益，也是永远不会满足。 只有让大家不要关心利益，而是关心仁义才能得到长治久安。 这里的仁义就是利己和利他。 如果整个国家的人都是自私自利，只有每一个人都能关心他人，整个国家才能得到蓬勃发展。 孟子的思想就是集体主义精神.
第二方面是与民同乐而不要独乐，这是仁政思想的另一个体现。 古之人与民同乐，故能乐也。 周文王修建高台灵池，百姓非常喜欢， 因为周文王与民同乐。 夏朝的夏桀是个暴君，他独自享用高台灵池，却得不到快乐。
第三，仁者无敌。 养民教民。 要战胜别人，首先要自强，要能战胜自己。让百姓辛勤劳作， 让人们学习孝悌忠信.
第四，国家领导应该推己及人，把自己的恩惠和仁德推广开来，给人民树立好的榜样， 他的影响力就会越来越大， 保民而王，莫之能御也。
王孟源【金融】【戰略】國際金融未來趨勢
【後註三，2023/09/18】因爲美式MBA教育所帶來的商界文化腐朽，是消滅生產效率、推高貧富不均的重要推手，我在上周的訪談節目（參見《龍行天下》）中甚至開玩笑，說他們是現代社會的最大毀滅力量之一，甚至可怕過戰略核武。
於是有讀者和我分享了一篇論文（參見《Eclipse of rent-sharing: The effects of managers business education》），針對美國和丹麥商業主管接受MBA教育後的實際表現做了詳細統計分析，發現他們不但不增加產品銷量，連對利潤都沒有絲毫貢獻，唯一可以測量到的差異，在於他們大幅改變了薪資結構：削減底層而圖利高層。論文作者進一步確定，支付這些薪資的資金來自公司舊有的生意傳承，和他們的“管理”毫無關係。總結來説，資本主義體制是圖利大資本的設計，而商學院教育在其中所扮演的角色，在於通過誘惑鼓勵經理階級參與分贓，來為掠奪勞工生產價值做普及和掩飾；這些MBA別説對國家社會，就是對公司和商場也是毫無正面價值的毒藥，有興趣深究的讀者可以參考聯想的案例。
