In the vast universe, the birth and disappearance of every life is like a moment between heaven and earth. We have hurried through this earthly world, some of us seek fame and fortune, some of us yearn for eternal love, and some of us are immersed in the pursuit of knowledge. However, no matter how noble or humble our pursuits are, the beginning and end of life always follow the same law - "come by chance, go by necessity".
Master Hongyi, a master who is well versed in the mysteries of life, often admonishes ** in the process of practicing and teaching the Dharma: "Life and death have fate, and wealth is in the sky." This sentence speaks of the impermanence and inadmissibility of life. Our arrival is the result of countless causes and conditions, and it is an accident in the universe. Our departure is the inevitability of life and a manifestation of the laws of the universe.
The accident and inevitability of life
The birth of life, from a scientific point of view, is a 1 in 1000 million probability. The union of sperm and egg is the result of countless accidental factors. And the departure of life is an inevitability. Whether it's illness, aging, or an accident, the end of life is inevitable. This contradictory unity of chance and necessity is the uniqueness of life.
In his practice, Venerable Hongyi has a deep understanding of the contingency and inevitability of life. He believes that the arrival of life is a kind of fate, and it is a blessing from the previous life. The departure of life is the inevitability of the cycle of cause and effect, and it is a law in the universe.
Wisdom in the face of life and death
Since the arrival of life is accidental, and the departure of life is inevitable, how should we face life and death?Master Hongyi gave his answer: "The cycle of life and death is the norm. When you are alive, you live, when you die, you die, and you can be liberated by going with the flow. ”
In the face of the arrival of life, we should be grateful and cherish this rare opportunity. The birth of every life is a miracle in the universe, and we should cherish this miracle and treat ourselves and others with love.
In the face of the loss of life, we should learn to let go. The end of life is an inevitable law of the universe that we cannot change. However, we can choose what attitude we want to take towards it. We can choose to accept it calmly and meet the end of life with a peaceful mindWe can also choose to wallow in grief and pain, unable to extricate ourselves. And Venerable Hongyi tells us that only by calmly accepting the departure of life can we truly liberate ourselves.
The meaning and value of life
Since the arrival of life is accidental, and the departure of life is inevitable, how should we find the meaning and value of life? Gen-la Hongyi believes that the meaning and value of life is not in its length, but in how we live it.
We should cherish every moment of our lives and treat ourselves and others with love. We should pursue those things that are truly meaningful, to experience those things that nourish our souls. Whether it is family, friendship or love, it is a precious treasure in our lives. We should manage and maintain these relationships with our hearts and make them the best memories of our lives.
At the same time, we should also use our lives to influence and change the world. We can make this world a better place through our own efforts and dedication. Whether it is a small act of kindness or a great cause, it is the embodiment of the value of our lives.
Meditation between life and death
Venerable Hongyi emphasized in his practice: "Between life and death, Fang is the place of cultivation. "In the journey of life, we must not only face the challenges of life and death, but also face all kinds of difficulties and setbacks. And it is these challenges and setbacks that give us the opportunity to practice and grow.
Through practice, we can better understand ourselves and the true meaning of life. We can learn how to face life and death with a peaceful mind, how to deal with others with compassion, and how to deal with problems with a wise heart. And these practices can not only make us more happy and satisfied in life, but also make us more calm and peaceful at the end of life.
Coming is accidental, going is inevitable", this is an eternal law of life. We can't change the beginning and end of our lives, but we can choose how we want to go about every moment of our lives.
Let us cherish every encounter, every experience, every insight; Let us treat ourselves and others with love, deal with problems with wisdom, and embrace everything with compassion. In the journey of life, we will continue to practice, grow, and surpass ourselves. When we face the end of life, we can accept it calmly, say goodbye calmly, and move on. In this way, we can perform a wonderful life drama on the stage of life!
