1. Suffering -the life of a person is to be repaid by karma. According to the karma of the previous life, those who correspond to humanity are reborn as human beings. At the beginning, the love is the kind of love, the blood of the parents, and the knowledge karma is the womb. Under the raw entrails of the mother's abdomen, above the cooked viscera, dirty food is pressed on top, and foul smell is smoked on the bottom. When the mother drinks cold, it is better than ice, snow and skin, such as entering the ice hell; when the mother swallows hot, it looks like boiling soup, which is the same as the hell of wok soup; when the mother eats thick, it is like a mountain and stone, like a mountain hell . In particular, the fetus is filthy and narrow, dull and embarrassed, going in and out of the mother's breath, all kinds of freedom are not allowed. The secluded prisoner in October is like a forbidden prison. At the time of birth, the skin is soft and cut like a knife by the wind, and the pain is beyond words. Because of the baby's dementia, I can't understand what to say. I only know that from this croaking cry, countless pains come out. Thinking that a person lives in one's life, from then on I don't know how much suffering I will suffer. This kind of suffering, ancient people once described him as a tortoise shelling, and the pain can be known! As for the misery of dystocia, it is even more unbearable. The lives of mother and child are in danger, and those who are human cannot escape this hurdle. Master Sheng'an's poem said: "The wind of karma blows the knowledge into the womb, and the prison guards are deeply hidden and sad. Whenever the hunger hangs upside down, frequent shocks and coarse food will come down the mountain...". I also have a poem that says: "In this life, you should return to bliss, and you don't want to have a baby in the next life."
2. Old suffering -years are ruthless and unknowingly, they can urge people to a place where "everything is lost, others are retired to Tibet", so traumatized that we are really hurt everywhere, mixed with sickness, and the roots are rotten. Weak, weak, mentally weak, dizzy and deaf, backache and bone aches, stuttering and missing teeth, all actions are unsatisfactory, do you see suffering? But there are no immortals in the world. The poem said: "Wedding tears and secretly thinking about childish joy, seeing others empty talk and being a strong man". Yu Yi: "You must work hard to send a message, and don't wait for the awakening to come too late."
3. Sickness and suffering -a person does not have a thousand days to be good, and a flower does not have a hundred days of redness. Is there anyone in the world who is diseased? Occasionally, if the four major factors are not adjusted, all the roots will suffer, the diet will be useless, and the rest will be restless. Just talk about dizziness, toothache, and pain. Besides, Chen Ke is very sick and has been seriously ill for years! The sickness was severe, and Zhang Fei, who had been rectified during the Three Kingdoms Period, was extremely frightened and helpless. Poetry Yun: "The four major causes are occasionally behaved, there is no way to arrange this body, the residual light will not be a dream, and the raindrops at night are full of sorrows." I said: "When you are healthy, you can't follow the same path, and you will know that you are too late to confess when you are sick."
4. Death and hardship -life is like a dream, with strong illusions, and there has never been an immortal. At the end of the world and the four major separations, the pain of cramps and bones is unspeakable. The ancients described it as skinning a live cow, and it was frightening to think. As for the tragic death, the broken bones and the separation of the head, let alone talk about it. And when he was dying, his family members walked around the couch, said goodbye, and all the karma suddenly appeared. It was really sad, terrified, and fateful in an instant! Silent and lonely pass away, the journey is faint, and there are many grievances. If you arbitrarily create evil karma and fall into the three paths during your lifetime, the suffering will be even more unimaginable! Shi Yun: "Knowledge of God will be exhausted, impermanence, the four separations are difficult to advocate, the shelling of turtles is really painful, the crabs in the soup are in panic...". I said: "When you recite the Buddha, you must be guided, and you will be happy when you return to bliss."
Fifth, love and separation from suffering -the good times are not constant, the desires are deviated, although life is impermanent, but the separation of love is also a big affliction in life, the reunion of family members, the love of parents and wives, caused by cause, or Life and death, or death, or even if the family is separated and the people dies, such a life is hard or hard. Shiyun: "Life and death are the most traumatic, every word is heartbroken, Yu clan resigns Xiang Yu in the account, Ming concubine immediately thanks the emperor...". Remaining meaning: "Understand the birth and death of cause and condition, and be separated from sorrow if there is no love."
6. Resentment will lead to bitterness -there are two ways of saying this: First, the enemy will meet, and hatred will occur like a thorn in the eye. The first is that the old age is injustice to become the relatives of the six relatives, living together in one place, being annoyed by each other, hating each other, wanting to be partial, meeting in a narrow way, and inevitable, do you see hardship or not? Shi Yun: "Everyone wants to avoid hardships and human sentiments. Who knows that Suye recruited himself, defeated Zhang Xunsi as a ghost, and died Xiao Clan would like to be a cat...". I also have a poem that says: "It is good to see Buddhism as a sea of lotus ponds."
Seven, can't ask for suffering -there are people who want nothing in the world? Fame, wealth and longevity, if you can’t ask for anything you want, you will be sad or resentful. For example, wealth and no children, poverty and exhaustion, failure in school, loss of business costs, and so on, the loss of desire is also a great regret in life. Poetry Yun: "Sail boats are often seen in the sailing boats, the rankings are partial to the people who fall behind, and the hard work is hard for the rest of the life, and the textiles are still hanging for many years...". Yu Yi: "Prosperity and failure are life-threatening, and poor life is always up to the sky."
Eight, the five yin is fierce and suffering- "five yin", that is , physical perception , thinking and consciousness. "Chi", hot too. "Sheng"'Many too. "Yin" also obscures. It means that these five methods can obscure our original true mind and make it impossible to manifest. The color yin is the body of the karma that is felt, and the consciousness of the four yins is the illusion caused by the touch. As a result, the illusion of mind and body is in the state of six dusts (colors, sounds, fragrances, touches), which confuses karma and attracts distress. The worries caused by the five elements such as Yiyan and the five dusts such as predestination are seyin. According to the five senses, the worries caused by the five dusts are received as yin. The troubles caused by thinking of the Dharma Chen according to the six senses are Xiangyin. The troubles caused by constant examination and consideration according to the seven consciousnesses are Yin Yin. The troubles caused by the subtle flow of the eight consciousnesses belong to consciousness yin. This five-yin trouble is raging like a fire, burning the body and mind of all beings at night, and the suffering is beyond words. Wisdom should be used to eliminate them. One Amitabha is wisdom water. Shiyun's forcing the body and mind to suffer a lot, there is no place to cry out in mourning! The heart and intestines are broken, and the love is hard to break, and the hatred is not withered when the blood and tears are dry.' Yu Yi's "The Three Realms have no peace in the same fire house, how can we go to the west by chanting Buddha". This five-yin blazing suffering is the root of all suffering. Of the eight sufferings, the first four sufferings belong to the body, the last three sufferings belong to the suffering of the heart, and the last suffering encompasses the body and mind. The first seven are different (don't refer to one kind), which are the result of the past feelings, and the last suffering is the total (summing all sufferings), which is the cause of the present heart action and suffering for the future. Causality is implicated, continuous, endless suffering, when will it be released? Don't be afraid! Everyone should recite the Buddha as soon as possible to survive. In addition, there are natural and man-made disasters, swordsmen, fire and water, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and even cold, mosquitoes and gnats.
In short, these eight sufferings refer to humanity alone, and all human beings have their own divisions. I am not afraid that you are respected as the son of emperor, richby prince, and no favors. The so-called from the president to the common people, regardless of high or low, regardless of male and female, there is no one who can be immune, and there is no escape. Let alone the unfortunate, who were born in this troubled atomic age again, bombing rain and beacon smoke, anytime, anywhere, there is the possibility of suffering. But thinking about it, there is no one in our entire life that is not buried in pain. The Three Realms Fire House, the sea of suffering in the world, is really true.
Or some people say: "Of course everyone can't avoid the first four sufferings. As for the latter four sufferings, the rich and the rich may be immune to them"? Answer: In one life, there is absolutely no ability to gather love and love, all of them are predestined, and the wishful things are desired. Moreover, the rich and the rich have their special pain-such as defending bandits, protecting status, panic invading, or even framing. , Isn't this bitter? Only the world of bliss will never have these painful things, it is said: "The name is still unknown, let alone the facts"! Why don't I hurry to recite the Buddha and seek survival in the Pure Land?
