Chapter 424 Interpretation of Suffering and Safety
In addition to the intense and serious study and training, the leader also explained the word "bitter" to everyone. Say this word "bitter". You can see that the two random grasses on it look like human eyebrows, and a high cross in it is
The word "mouth" below a person's nose is the word "bitter" when it appears on a person's face. Whether a person is poor or rich, alive or dead, it is always bitter. Many people blame God.
, hate their own situation, but don’t know that people are born with suffering. And only by knowing that life is born with suffering, can people have a broad perspective and achieve perfect cultivation.
Life is like a dream, both illusory and real. This short life is like a white horse passing by. It is like a flick of a finger, like a dream in Huainan. For most people, life has come to an end in less than 30,000 days, and there is no satisfaction in it.
There are many sufferings in life. Buddhism says that there are eight major sufferings in life: the suffering of birth, the suffering of old age, the suffering of illness, the suffering of death, the suffering of not getting what you want, the suffering of resentment and hatred, the suffering of separation from love, and the suffering of the five yin beings.
Sufferings in life will accompany you throughout your life. Only by looking at them lightly can you be able to calm down. There are no exceptions to the eight sufferings in life.
Suffering of birth. That is, everyone has the suffering of birth, but they have forgotten it. For human beings, the pressure of all conditions during birth is suffering. When we are in the womb, the womb is the smallest prison, and the fetus cannot straighten its arms and legs.
Shrinking into a ball, it's like being in a prison, which is extremely painful. In addition, we have to endure all kinds of impurities in the womb, such as amniotic fluid, blood, etc., which is really painful. When the fetus is born, it has to get out of the small vagina, which is like
Two mountains weigh on the top. The mother suffers, and the baby also suffers. Every mother knows this, so the baby cries loudly as soon as he is born and suffers unspeakably. In addition, the baby's skin is very delicate, and he is exposed to hot and cold air as soon as he is born.
, the body feels as painful as being pricked by needles. In addition, the fetus feels safer in the mother's belly. As soon as it is born, it feels as if it is lost, helpless, painful to death, and scared to death, so life is a kind of suffering.
Suffering of old age. That is, our body and mind decay and decay, giving rise to all kinds of painful feelings. The body ages, slowly becomes disobedient and useless; and our mind gradually becomes weak and our thinking becomes slower and slower, and so on.
They are not as good as others, so they feel miserable; they are useless when they are old, their faces are wrinkled, their backs are hunched, they are senile, they cannot do anything, and they die in misery. Some elderly people have nothing to do at home and are worried about being abandoned by their children, and it is difficult to escape loneliness and alienation.
, it is rare to find warmth and family affection; when you are young and strong, you will be full of friends, high-spirited, and high-spirited, but no one expects that your situation in your later years will be so lonely, lonely and desolate, so it is always a kind of suffering.
Suffering from illness. That is, the four major diseases of the body are out of tune and all kinds of diseases are present, so suffering. There are various kinds of diseases, some are very mild, some are serious, and some are hidden diseases that are difficult to detect and end up with sudden illness. The most terrible thing is toothache.
, the pain is so painful that your family will give you three points. Actually speaking, "eating" is a disease, and being greedy is also a disease, but these are mental diseases. What we are talking about here are physical diseases. Our bodies are like machines, and they will eventually function.
To become bad means to be sick, so illness is a kind of suffering.
Death is painful. That is, we end our lifespan, die of illness, or are forced to die by natural disasters or man-made disasters. When we are dying, the scene of death is unbearable, and fear arises spontaneously. Some people are frightened when they die.
The complexion turns blue, and the appearance of death is terrifying; when some people die, they don't want to die and hold on tightly with their hands. If one day we find that we can't move our hands, it must be terribly painful; when a person is about to die, all parts of the body slowly
Being unable to move, you must be feeling panic inside. This is the suffering of death.
Everyone knows that life, old age, illness, and death are painful, and they have even become numb and have no choice but to accept it. Everyone says that they are going to die anyway, so what do you want to do? If you don’t think about it, won’t it be painful? But that is when death has not come yet.
When it comes, you have a big mouth and like to talk big words. When it really comes, you will be afraid of death. If someone points a knife at you, you will be scared to death, that is, you are afraid of death - death is painful. This
Even if you just point the knife at you and haven't really touched you, you are already so frightened. When the time of death or when death really comes, there will be no need to mention it, so death is a kind of suffering.
The bitterness of not being able to ask for something. That is, we use various methods and means to hope to get the things we like or realize some of our lofty ideals, but in the end we go through a lot of hard work and still can't get it. This is called the bitterness of not being able to ask for something.
"Seeking" is a kind of "desire". If you don't get what you ask for, it becomes suffering, and it is the most common kind of suffering. Because people have too many desires. With so many desires, we simply cannot realize or obtain them.
, so not being able to get what you want is the most common kind of suffering.
Resentment will cause suffering. That is, we cannot avoid our enemies and enemies, and we often meet each other. This is called resentment and suffering. For example, a couple has a happy marriage and love, but they quarrel and fall out later, but for the sake of their children, the relationship between the husband and wife
It's hard to break the relationship, and you have to meet every day; or you are a wage earner, although you are at odds with your boss, but for the sake of family income, you have to sacrifice yourself for five buckets of rice, and you have to meet with a boss you don't like every day; there are also some colleagues who have quarreled with you once
After the fight, the two of them stopped talking when they met. For some reason, you couldn't leave him and had to meet him every day. This is where resentment leads to suffering.
Parting from love is painful. That is, being separated from your closest relatives and loved ones causes pain. Due to certain causes and conditions, your beloved leaves you and you are reluctant to let go, so you feel pain. For example, for parents, their daughter gets married or
My son is studying abroad, and missing him always starts after a breakup, and he often worries about it. Some are sad and shed tears, and some are unable to eat or sleep. These are not too serious. What is serious is the love between men and women.
However, they were torn apart, and many lovers committed suicide by jumping off buildings, committing suicide by drowning in rivers, burning charcoal... There are so many of them, too numerous to mention. In the West, there are Romeo and Juliet; in the East, there are Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, these lingering and great lovers
Love stories often make those who sympathize with them burst into tears.
The five yins are blazing and suffer. The five yin are the five aggregates, namely: form, feeling, thinking, formation and consciousness. The five yin gather into the body and burn like fire, from which the first seven sufferings arise. The form yin is blazing and the four elements are
If there is no adjustment, there will be suffering from diseases. If the receiving yin is strong and the acceptance of distinction is strong, all the sufferings will be intensified: the thinking yin will be strong, and the thoughts will pursue each other, and there will be love and separation, resentment and hatred, and all kinds of suffering will not be achieved. The walking yin will be strong,
All kinds of karma are created, and they are the cause of subsequent retribution, and because of their actions, they are constantly changing, and they suffer from the suffering of aging and aging. When the yin of consciousness is strong, delusion and karma are created, and they pass through three lives, and they suffer from the suffering of life and death.
Among the five aggregates, except "color" which refers to the body, that is, physiological factors, the other "feelings, thoughts, actions, and consciousness" all refer to psychological factors. Color is what the eyes see; receptors are what the heart perceives.
; Thoughts are the thoughts of the brain, actions are the actions of the body, and consciousness is the opinions of the heart.
The suffering of the five yin blazings refers to the suffering caused by the convergence of physical and psychological factors. All our desires, joys, worries, pains and other feelings will accumulate here. Due to the above seven sufferings, our five yin will produce ignorance and troubles.
It keeps burning in our hearts, making us feel anxious, bored, depressed, miserable, and always feeling indescribable pain and troubles. This is the suffering of the five yin blazing. And the pain of the five yin blazing is externalized into life.
Suffering is the suffering of old age, illness, death, the suffering of not having what you want, the suffering of resentment and hatred, and the suffering of separation from love.
After interpreting the word "bitter", the teacher laughed and pointed at his face and asked everyone.
"Is it bitter?"
Everyone said in unison: bitter.
In addition to this leader talking about "suffering", there was another leader who talked about "safety", which left a very deep impression.
He warned everyone that after everyone returns to their jobs, if they really want to have a "safety string" in their minds, they must take care of their own safety. This safety has many meanings. He did not elaborate on other meanings.
It’s up to everyone to figure it out for themselves.
He just warmed everyone up lightly.
"The work we are engaged in is inherently high-risk work. Currently, we do not have personal accident insurance for everyone. Whether we are going for safety inspections or accident investigations, we are all in a high-risk environment.
.Once an accident occurs because you have not done a good job in your own safety work, or you have misjudged the safety status of the environment you are in. In addition to not being able to receive accident compensation like employees in production and business units, you will also have to deal with others.
It would be uncomfortable to say, 'I am still engaged in safety work, but I have not done a good job in safety work'. So everyone must pay special attention to their own safety. Don't go to really dangerous places."
Finally, I did not forget to put a "seal" for everyone. "Just listen to these words and keep them in your heart. I will not admit to saying these words when I leave this door."
