Three, six metempsychosis the bitter life

Buddhist scriptures have suffer all things, it is not just only say life, he covers the entire universe sentient beings, intentional life forms of knowledge.All kinds of living beings according to its survival form is divided into three, six (five), four, 9, 25 and other categories.

Refers to the living beings live permeating the three major categories:

(1) community, these beings are men and women, male and female, Yin and Yang, diet, men and women, sleep this three kinds of most basic needs, belong to this kind of human and animals.

(2) the color world, although there are fixed in the shape of a physical body, but without the need of food, men and women, sleep, living in peace and quiet meditation, according to the depth of the meditation is divided into four zen 18 days.

(3) the formless realms, there is no fixed form physical body, the permanent peace of heart in deep meditation, according to the depth of the meditation is divided into the empty place endless, endless knowledge, not at all, not to think about four days.Is the division of three worlds based on repairing the meditation from shallow to deep changes of body and mind."

Five or six refers to the life and death after five or six."A hell, underground prison, it is the most evil for suffering abyss.2 am, wandering around for food, hungry bear hard, bitter end.Three beast, all non-human animals.Law of the jungle, kill each other.Has the human to their slavery, thrash, slaughter, suffering heavy.Four asura, ocean, is a kind of ghosts, who have power but no virtue.Five people.Bittersweet, is six heave hub, good can have to go up to heaven, evil will fall hell, beast, am three respectively.Six heaven, refers to the celestial beings.Their pure bliss and hard (or less), and long service life, moral, avatar at ease.But not beyond life and death, are still not falling into evil way.Some of the six Indian Buddhism department sent to delete asura said only five.

All beings are permeating the life and death, in the three worlds six heave flow endlessly."Miscellaneous, including the" twelve 294 by the Buddha says: all beings "body bad life, also after the body", people die, rotting flesh disappeared but mind immediately metempsychosis elsewhere.Cycle of endless, suffering is endless.Only death alone, alone, suffering, no stopping, not self-knowledge.No matter how, still can't get away from physical and misery.

Cycle turned out to be one of the main doctrines of ancient Indian brahmanism, think four caste in sequential, reincarnation, shengshengshishi hit the same forever.Buddhism and transformation development, absorb the idea advocated beings in operation before, are equal, are the virtues of their evil deeds to decide the transformation of the afterlife.Before no relief, sentient beings respectively in accordance with the industry and interesting to the world of good and evil, there are five or six.In the six spread known as living beings.Sentient beings because of the inheritance of the unfinished in the six by the endless flow of samsara, referred to as a cycle of six."The world's great spiritual tradition, of course, including Christianity, clearly tell us that death is not the end.They also have a vision of the future, our life sacred meaning.Despite so many religious doctrine, however, is still a spiritual desert in modern society, most people think that life is only so much.For the afterlife, if there is no real or genuine belief, the lives of most people lack any ultimate significance.

"Death broke out, make a lot of people regardless of the consequences, by hook or by crook, under the excessive desire, mad grab, become a corrupt official, liars, thieves, drug, drug traffickers, Wolf....Psychological slightly lower, led to a variety of psychological problems and depression and other mental diseases;Lack is believers are easy to master cheng yen tricker, strayed into a trap of a cult.This problem, there is growing along with the social development trend.Shall be investigated for the deepest reason, it should be said that life and death issues haven't been solved properly, people lack of living in the life and death for the reliable faith.

View from ethics, decided the outlook on life, life attitude, careful consideration will die off, is the precondition of deciding how to active life, pay attention to the philosopher and that advocated "leading to death".Buddha face to face with the fundamental problem of the owner, will be unconscious of death anxiety becomes conscious, sober look within life, revealing the defects and social evils in life, and try to use the wisdom of the clear opening up out of the life and death avenue, successively as the center, give people enough to make a belief.In today's era of "wealth growth, loss of meaning", this kind of wisdom, no matter for everyone, or to the whole human society, are so realistic."

Four, personal when rare degree of life and death

Buddhism is different from most religions to the solution of the ultimate concern to the absolute faith to the gods of heaven and earth, it is pointed out that rely on our own strength to self liberation and eventually walked out of the cycle of life and death pain.

"Poor blind turtle floating wood, although after violations, or phase.Ignorance drift ordinary five fun, temporary complex person, very difficult to he!"The seaThere is a blind turtle, long service life, to the surface once every one hundred years.Along with the wave drifting in the sea with a piece of driftwood, there is a round hole in the middle of the driftwood.Blind turtle neck to enter the driftwood round hole, it is unlikely a difficult.But person of rare, as blind turtle into the hole.Myriad samsara, the person is rare.So, everyone can be born to the earth, is very precious and rare.Especially in Buddhism spread in the society, it is very rare.

Buddha value life, good for human, mainly because people to transcend life and death of Buddhism and Taoism have study conditions.Beyond life and death, on the one hand, the difference between life and death have to suffer the force and the desire to inspire beyond life and death;On the other hand, must want to have to reflect on their situation of leisure, rational, and to help willpower.In three everynight to the beings in the six, but our human life is short, bittersweet, most easily come from old and celebrate all the bitter and the urgent need of relief.For that matter, such as hair, from another perspective, is worth us fortunately.The pain is nourishes the wisdom of flowers, is indispensable to bear fruit Buddha soil and fertilizer.Is, therefore, the Buddha is also called dead for three taught the world beyond the life and death of teacher.

Another thankfully we human capital is one of the characteristics of their own endowment "intrepid memorization"."Intrepid memorization" also means a strong willpower, enterprising, memory and understanding ability.Because we humans have the ability to be able to have the knowledge and wisdom."O long including by, the world is" the Buddha said: I wait for the south people pursuit of state excels in three big six desires day, ghost dao, and most of the other three states: "one intrepid memorization, can manufacture industry, the intrepid memorization, practice the Vatican hard line, three intrepid memorization, its soil."That is to say we humans, has a strong creative ability and the slaughter.And have very strong self-discipline and self-control, can consciously in accordance with the code of ethics discipline yourself, control their own desires, purify the mind.And the Buddha was born, is a highly developed for human wisdom and will power concentrated expression.These strengths are based on human "intrepid memorization" as the prerequisite, that is to say, willpower and rationality is the most fundamental human features, is the humanity can liberate itself, eventually walked out of the cycle of life and death pain simply rely on.
