Thank you very much Fortunately, with the protection of this rattan, I was finally saved! The traveler breathed a sigh of relief, but when he looked at his feet, he was shocked: it turned out that there was a rough and unfathomable deep sea under his feet! There were three poisonous dragons in the raging waves, waiting for him to fall with their mouths open. The traveler trembled unconsciously, but what was even more frightening was that two white mice and black mice were biting each other against the life-saving rattan. The traveler shook the rattan desperately to get rid of them, but they didn't mean to go away at all, and every time they shook the rattan, water drops dripped from it, which was honey dripped by bees building nests on branches. Because honey is so sweet, travelers completely forget that they are in danger of dying, but Tao Tao enjoys it very much.
What is the moral?
Walker: All are sentient beings. Including you and me, of course.
Wilderness: Endless loneliness Wilderness is an endless and lonely life. From the moment of birth, people started their life journey blankly.
Autumn dusk: Autumn dusk is a metaphor for a short and lonely life. Although everyone has relatives, family and friends, there are no soul friends who want to pour out everything to each other and understand each other. Even husband and wife may not be able to understand each other and live. The reason why life is lonely lies in the loneliness of this soul. Don't you feel lonely and sad?
White bone: The white bone on the roadside is the death of our family, relatives and friends in the journey of life. This is to alert us and feel the pressure of the "tiger of impermanence".
Tiger: A hungry tiger is a metaphor for his own death. Everything that exists in this world is impermanent, and death is the most terrible thing in life, so the Buddha used the metaphor of a tiger. Now the tiger of impermanence suddenly comes at you, but because you think this is a very horrible fact, Ping doesn't want to think about it. And if you think that Buddhism has something to say about death and you feel gloomy and disgusted, then you have completely misunderstood Buddhism. Although I have forgotten death all my life and avoided it, death will surely come. This mentality can't solve the problem of death. Only by facing death and being solved can we get absolute happiness. That's why Buddhism mentions death. As a traveler, you instinctively avoid death, go to the hospital as soon as you get sick, or fight death with drugs, but you still can't escape.
Weak pine trees: pine trees refer to money, property, reputation, status and so on. Even if there are more of these things, there is nothing you can do in the face of death. People who have made brilliant achievements like Qin Shihuang and Emperor Gaozu can't help feeling that life is like a dream when they are dying, and they will die alone. Can you have money, property, fame and status and greet death with a smile? On the verge of death, I can't take anything away. So it is impossible to face death with a smile.
Rattan: It's a metaphor of "not yet, not yet, I won't die yet". I think there are still 20 or 30 years to live, but even if I think "there are still 10, 20 or 30 years", how long do you think? Think about it: ten or twenty years have passed, and it just disappeared like an "ah" dream. Ten or twenty years later, your same "ah" has become a thing of the past.
Rats: Black and white rats that keep biting vines refer to day and night. They are shortening your life span with each other. To live today is to die today. Even during the Chinese New Year holiday, you are eating your life all the time. So in the end, the rattan must be bitten off, which is "death".
What happens after death?
Everyone in life is a passer-by, and it is also a dream to get together for a hundred years.
Nothing in the world can bring an empty-handed wind, Yamaraja.
As a traveler, you can only fall into the deep sea of poisonous dragons that don't know the bottom. And after you die, there will be "afterlife events."
