What is the purpose, meaning and value of life and life? ( Part 1)

Author St. strict master

If life has no purpose, life will be very empty. If life is lacking in meaning, it will be like walking corpses, why do you want to live with suffering. If there is no value to survive, not only the survival itself becomes redundant, but also wasted much of the world's resources. The purpose of life, the mortal is to report the debt, Bodhisattva is to monasticism also wish. The meaning of life, because the human body is rare, but also able to know good and evil, can be good to evil. The value of life, is able to self-interest, adult adult, more plot merit, growth Fu Hui.

I have heard a mother sighed and said: 'like my woman, born cold, headless, alive in the world, neither useful nor meaning. 'At that time, she had a boy less than ten years old, after hearing, it seems a little fear, immediately said to his mother:' Mom, do not say this, I need you, for me, The world you are the most important! I can not have no mom! After the mother heard, she realized that she was playing a very important role in the child's mind, and felt comfort and comfort, and that was her determination of the values ​​of life.

Animal 's instinctive form of life

The article said: 'food color also. 'That is, diet, men and women, but the human instinct. Whether it is civilized or barbarians, will have their instincts of survival, is the diet; also have the ancestors of the instincts of the family, is to have children. Eager to their own life to continue, can not be no diet, at the same time after the physical maturity, eager to get a spouse, there are men and women of the couple life. This is known as the innate instinct of mankind, because it is very similar to other animals such as dogs, cats, mice and even fish. Therefore, the purpose of human life, if only this is the lowest level of life, it is the same as the instinct of the same animals.

Many people are at a loss of the purpose of life, that life is helpless regret. Since the acceptance of life, only the only thing resignation, Gou stole to live. Basically, this is still the animal instinct level of life. Most people often produce these thoughts and are not easy to detect. Of course, no one likes to admit that he belongs to this animal instinctive level. But I often ask: 'Amitabha, Master, why should I suffer in this world?' 'Why am I so bitter?' 'Master' s how much of my debt owed to my predecessors? In the end when to pay off? 'Many people know that they have distress, but can not find why the root of life, but also can not get rid of the burden of life, neither willing to live, but also had no alternative to live.

Obsessed outlook on life

Many people misunderstood that life is endless pursuit of satisfaction and hard work, so only chaos blind fight, ignorant life.

(A) in order to protect the safety of self and hard work

Many people because of lack of security, eager to obtain protection, have to use savings money, investment in real estate, the purchase of stocks as a security guarantee. That the more the property, the more secure. For their own future, or children and grandchildren's life without fear, spend a lifetime of time, hard work, drain camp, and even the old. However, the tangible property and authority, can really bring the most reliable security, but there is doubt.

Tang Dynasty, there is a big poet Bai Juyi, official residence prefect, Mu Ming Road, Zen Master (called bird nest Zen master) live in the forest of Qin Wang Shan, and thus to visit. When he saw the Zen master tree, he shouted: 'Be careful! Zen Master is too dangerous! 'Zen Master did not mind Italy, and persuaded Bai Juyi their own care, and said:' the risk of being too much better than me! 'White Shou mind surprised, he was high, is a local head, where are protected, do not understand the intention of Zen Master, so ask Zen Master:' disciples of Zhenjiang, what is the danger? 'Zen Master replied:' should be careful, water, wind, fire four into the body, every day with you mischievous, sick and sick at any time waiting, greedy anger crazy doubt, often with you, is not dangerous? 'Bai Juyi listen, very agree with Zen Master's argument, because as long as the scope of life and death in the impermanence, from where the security!

(B) in order to pursue the name, benefit, power, bit, potential and struggle

Whenever people are in poverty, they are eager to gain wealth. When once owned by the wealthy, they hope to get fame, followed by the pursuit of power, power, social status and other growth. If you can reach a call, look at the side of the point, they think it is worthwhile this life. However, the standards of desire continue to improve, difficult to meet. From the hope of one side and hope to be able to look at a country, and even look at the world, with more at the same time, the more eager to get more. So, the time of life, then bet on the endless pursuit of this, constantly desperately struggling, just to meet the desire can never be satisfied.

(3) to compete for vanity

Many people are another kind of trouble, is often compared with people than the level of long. As a result of the heart of the drive, when their own performance is not as good as others, they will heart chagrin, continue to lash themselves, forced their own hard work, so exhausted, is to keep people with a higher. Once the failure, then self-pity, painful, life caught in the troubles of self and unable to extricate themselves. When the victory, arrogant arrogance; failure, blame. Regardless of success or failure, are rolling in trouble.

But also in order to meet their own vanity, hope to get others look at each other, although the income is not rich, but not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy brand-name clothes, take the luxury sedan, wear precious jewelry, to do show off; some people, No, to win lose, obviously has been in trouble, still dead to face, this is called swollen face to pretend to be fat, then why bother to Zai!

(D) like a stupid dog

Summed up above, are obsessed with the outlook on life. In fact, many people are caught in this level, even can not know self-help. The situation is like a stupid dog, around a straight like a diameter ruler to the trunk of the trunk, and found the tree side of the dog tail, was originally its own, but mistakenly thought it was a wild dog, so constantly chasing , Thought to have to catch it can not, but the result is very poor and tired of their own, more pathetic, do not know why it is so exhausted!
