Misgurnus anguillicaudatus drills tofu metaphor: Three realms are unsafe, just like a fire pond.
There is a dish (of course, this example may be a bit cruel, I hope everyone will have mercy. However, this example can illustrate the present situation of our life. It's called Misgurnus drilling tofu. I wonder if you have heard of it?
Just put the loach in a cold water pot, add firewood to the bottom and the water temperature will get higher and higher; The loach didn't know it at first, but swam around in the pot, swimming around. Do you think this loach has a goal? It swims from east to west and from west to east in it, but no matter how it swims, it is in the pot. When the water temperature is getting hotter, the loach will swim faster and faster. It is in a hurry! But it still has no goal. Just in a hurry. What shall we do? I have no choice but to swim around. At this time, the chef will take a piece of cold tofu and put it in. The eager loach, attracted by the cold tofu, got into the tofu to avoid the heat outside. Slowly getting hotter and hotter, getting more and more familiar, and finally dying in it can't get out. This is called "loach drilling tofu", and you drill into it yourself.
The pot is like a three-world fire house;
The fire below, like our greed and troubles, is heating up;
The loach in it is each of us;
Cold tofu is the joy of the five desires in the world, wealth, color, fame, food and sleep. These seem to make us feel happier and can temporarily reduce our distress. All people, like a loach hidden in tofu, just for the convenience of Yan Luowang, even the five-desire tofu and your loach are fished up-this is actually our life.
So most people have no goals in life. He just swims around in this round pot that will never be separated. Anyway, even the talented people in the world, even the lean people, are still in the samsara and have not gone out! The three realms of insecurity are like fire!
