Abstract

This article , is to want to pass Vladimir Zealand grams sense treatment to learn theory, the future of Confucius, Mencius, regardless life of ideas, to build up - Confucian sense treatment study. Vladimir Zealand grams learn the significance of treatment, is to emphasize is that people have a "seek the will of the meaning," and this sense of desire, is the clinical side of life is suffering, the misery of life, you can highlight out. Moreover, this sense is God has given me a unique mission, I must take responsibility to complete this mission. So, that is, In order to show an "attitude of value", is also able to complete the "ultimate meaning." This thought of Confucius, "known fate" and Mencius "established order" of Italy, is in line with the meaning in Ephesians treatment Zealand grams Concept learning management. Confucius, Mencius are from experiences in life, to feel "born in Germany", "day so people will drop big responsibility", there is a sense of mission derived from the day. But, well, Mengsuo Zhang was the ultimate meaning of life is to focus on virtue or very influential high-spirited, that is their goal in life is to become Germany, sanctification. This point, and Vladimir Zealand grams emphasize the meaning of each human life is unique some are different. However, this study is the Confucian sense that this treatment characteristics and values. Dr. Viktor E Frankl's Logotherapy mentions that everyone has a desire to search for meanings. We call this desire "the will of meaning". Frankl believes that when people suffer from pain, he will find his own "ultimate meaning". In this paper , we research Confucius and Meng-tzu's discussion of destiny. In the thought of Confucius "Know the Mandate of Heaven" and Meng-tzu's "Set Up Your Destiny" , we can find some ideas of Confucian Logotherapy's. Both Confucius and Meng-tzu's destiny thoughts were inspired by the experience of life. Especially through suffering, Confucius and Mengtzu found they had a mission from Heaven.For instance, Confucius says "Heaven gave birth to the virtue within me ... ... "and Meng-tzu says" when Heaven is going to give a big responsibility to someone ... ... ". The Confucian Logotherapy emphasizes the meaning of morality, such as to Hold Our "Moral Original Mind" . This is different from Frankl's Logotherapy. In Frankl's opinion, everyone's "meaning of life" is different. But in Confucian Logotherapy, the "ultimate meaning" will only be one: that is, to become a sage
