Death: What is love? Is there true love? I gave you all my love, I gave you my whole life, just because you once said you loved me.

Four classic love stories of Buddhism:

Reprinted from Zhang Yubin

(1) Who buried you in your last life?

Once upon a time, there was a scholar who made an appointment with his fiancee to get married one day. On that day, my fiancee married someone else. The scholar was hit by this and could not afford to get sick. The family tried their best to do nothing, and it was dying. At this time, I passed a monk, learned about the situation and decided to enlighten him. The monk went to the bed and took out a mirror from his arms to show the scholar. The scholar saw the vast sea and a murdered woman lying naked on the beach. Passed by a person, took a look, shook his head, and left ... Passed by another person, took off his clothes, covered the woman, and left ... Passed by another person, walked over, dug a hole, and carefully buried the body. ...

Suspicion, picture switching. The moment the scholar met his fiancee. Wedding candle, held up by her husband ...

Scholar unknown so.

The monk explained, did you see the dead woman on the beach? It's your fiancee's past life.

You are the second person to pass by and give him a dress. She fell in love with you all her life just to repay you.

But in the end, she will repay that person with her whole life, the person who buried her last, and that person is her current husband. The scholar realized that he started up from the bed and recovered.

(2) Spider and Cao Zhi

Once upon a time, there was a vowel temple. Every day, many people burn incense and worship Buddha, and the incense is very strong. On the beam in front of the Yuanyin Temple, a spider made a web. Because it is smoked by incense and devout worship every day, spiders have Buddha nature. After 1000 years of practice, the Buddha nature of spiders has increased a lot.

Suddenly one day, the Buddha visited the vowel temple and was very happy to see the incense here. When I left the temple, I inadvertently looked up and saw the spider on the beam. The Buddha stopped and asked the spider, "It's really fate that you and I finally met. Let me ask you a question. What do you feel after practicing for more than a thousand years? "

The spider was very happy to see the Buddha and agreed quickly. The Buddha asked, "What is the most precious thing in the world?" The spider thought for a moment and replied, "The most precious things in the world are' not getting' and' losing'." The Buddha nodded and left.

In this way, after another thousand years, spiders are still practicing on the beams of Yuanyin Temple, and their Buddha nature has greatly increased. One day, the Buddha came to the temple again and said to the spider, "You are all right. Do you have a deeper understanding of the problem a thousand years ago? " The spider said, "I think the most precious things in the world are' not getting' and' losing'." Buddha said, "Think again and I'll come to you again."

Another thousand years later, one day, a strong wind blew a drop of dew onto the spider web. The spider looked at the dew, saw it crystal clear and beautiful, and suddenly she fell in love with it. Spiders are happy to look at manna every day. It thinks this is the happiest day in three thousand years. Suddenly, a strong wind blew away the dew. The spider suddenly felt that she had lost something and felt very lonely and sad. At this time, the Buddha came again and asked the spider, "Spider, have you thought about this question for a thousand years: What is the most precious thing in the world?" The spider thought of manna and said to the Buddha, "The most precious things in the world are' not getting' and' losing'." Buddha said, "Well, since you have such an understanding, I will let you go to earth once."

In this way, the spider reincarnated into the butler and became a rich woman. Her parents named her spider. In a blink of an eye, the spider was sixteen years old and became a slim girl. She is very beautiful and lovely.

On this day, Staff Sergeant Lang Ganlu, the champion of the new department, the emperor decided to hold a celebration banquet in his back garden. Many young girls came, including Spider and Princess Changfeng, the little princess of the emperor. Champion Lang performed poems and songs during the dinner, which was so talented that all the girls present were fascinated by him. But the spider is not nervous or jealous at all, because she knows that this is the marriage given to her by the Buddha.

A few days later, as luck would have it, when the spider accompanied her mother to burn incense and worship Buddha, manna accompanied her. After burning incense and worshiping Buddha, the two elders were talking. Spider and manna came to the corridor to chat. Spider is very happy, and finally can be with the person he likes, but manna doesn't show love.

The spider said to Ganlu, "Don't you remember what happened on the spider web of Yuanyin Temple sixteen years ago?" Ganlu was surprised and said, "Spider-woman, you are beautiful and attractive, but your imagination is a little rich." Then I left with my mother.

Spider son came home and thought, since the Buddha arranged this marriage, why not let him remember it? Why doesn't manna have any feelings for me? A few days later, the emperor summoned the new champion Ganlu and asked her to marry Princess Changfeng. Spider and Prince Cao Zhi got married. The news came as a bolt from the blue to the spider. She never had a different idea. Buddha did this to her.

For several days, she didn't eat or drink, and she was worried. Her soul is about to leave her body, and her life is at stake. When Prince Cao Zhi knew it, he rushed over, threw himself on the bed and said to the dying spider, "That day, among all the girls in the back garden, I fell in love with you at first sight, and I begged my father for permission. If you die, then I will not live. " He picked up his sword and prepared to commit suicide.

Just then, the Buddha came and said to the spider's soul, "Spider, have you ever wondered who brought you dew (sweet deer)?" It was brought by the wind (Princess Changfeng), and finally it was taken away by the wind. Ganlu belongs to Princess Changfeng, who is just an episode in your life. Prince Cao Zhi is a grass in front of Yuanyin Temple. He looked at you for three thousand years and admired you for three thousand years, but you never looked down. Spider, I ask you again, what is the most precious thing in the world? "

After listening to these truths, the spider seems to suddenly realize. She said to the Buddha: "The most precious thing in the world is not' not getting' and' losing', but happiness that can be grasped now!"

Just after that, the Buddha left and the spider's soul came back. When she opened her eyes, she saw Prince Cao Zhi who was about to commit suicide. She immediately put down her sword and hugged the prince affectionately. ...

(3) Waiting for the Millennium

There is a beautiful young girl with a rich family and many talents. The threshold of her family was almost broken by the matchmaker. She still doesn't want to get married because she has been looking forward to the appearance of the only thrill.

One day, she went to the temple fair to play, and caught a glimpse of a young man in the crowd, knowing in her heart that it was the one she was waiting for. However, the scene was crowded with people, and she couldn't get close to him anyway. In the end, she could only watch her sweetheart disappear in the crowd. After that, the girl looked for the man everywhere, but the young man disappeared out of thin air and never appeared again. Lonely, she prayed only at dawn and dusk every day, hoping to see that man again. Her sincerity touched the Buddha's heart, so she appeared as she wished.

The Buddha asked her, "Do you want to see that person again? 」

"Yes, even if I have a look! 」

"What if you give up everything you have, including loving your family and living a happy life? 」

"I am willing to give up" girls are obsessed with love.

"You have to practice for five hundred years to meet him. You won't regret it, will you? 」

I have no regrets.

So the girl turned into a big stone and lay in the wild. After 499 years of wind and sun, the girl didn't feel bitter. Sadly, I haven't seen anyone for more than 400 years, and I can't see any hope, which makes her face collapse. In the last year, a quarrying team came, took a fancy to her, chiseled her into stones and transported her to the city. It turned out that a stone bridge was being built in the city, so the girl became the guardrail of the stone bridge. On the first day when the stone bridge was built, the girl met the man who had been waiting for 500 years! He hurried across the stone bridge. Of course, a man won't notice a stone staring at him. The man disappeared again.

The voice of the Buddha appeared again: "Are you satisfied? 」

"no! Why am I the guardrail of the bridge? If I am placed in the middle of the bridge, I can touch him and touch him! 」

"Want to touch him? Then you have to practice for 500 years! 」

"I do! 」

"Very bitter, don't you regret it? 」

"No regrets! 」

This time, the girl turned into a big tree and stood on a busy road. Many people pass by every day, and the girl watches it every day, but it is even worse, because countless hopes have brought countless hopes. If it hadn't been for the first 500 years of practice, the girl would have collapsed! As the days passed, the girl's heart gradually calmed down. She knew he wouldn't show up until the last day. Another 500 years. On the last day, the girl knew he would come, but she was no longer excited. He finally came! Still wearing her favorite white gown, her face is still so beautiful, every time the girl looks at him. This time, he didn't rush because it was too hot. He noticed a big tree by the road. Have a rest, he thought. He came under the tree, leaned against the roots, closed his eyes and fell asleep. The girl touched him, and he was close to her! However, she can't talk to him about this thousand-year-old lovesickness. Only try to gather the shade to keep out the sinister sunshine for him. This man only takes a nap because he has something to do. He patted the dust on his robe. Before leaving, he looked back, touched the trunk gently, and then left without looking back!

When the man gradually disappeared, the Buddha appeared again.

"Do you still want to be his wife? Then you have to practice. 」

The girl calmly interrupted the Buddha's words: "I really want to, but I don't have to." 」

"oh? 」

"This is very good, love him, don't have to be his wife. 」

"oh! 」

"Has his present wife ever suffered like me?" This girl is very thoughtful.

Buddha nodded slightly.

The girl smiled: "I can do it, but it's not necessary." 」

At this time, the girl seems to find that the Buddha sighed slightly.

The girl was a little surprised: "Does the Buddha have something on his mind?" 」

"That's good, there is a boy can wait for you less in one thousand. In order to meet you, he practiced for two thousand years. The Buddha's face was full of smiles.

(4) Four wives of businessmen

Once upon a time, there was a man who married four wives. The fourth wife is deeply loved by her husband, and he stays with her whether sitting or standing. The third wife was obtained through hard work. Her husband often talked sweetly around her, but he didn't love the fourth wife as much as he did then. The second wife and husband often meet and comfort each other, just like friends. As long as we are together, we will be satisfied with each other. Once we are apart, we will miss each other. The first wife is like a maid, bearing all the heavy work in the family. She is in all kinds of difficulties, but she has no complaints and has almost no place in her husband's heart.

One day, the man is going to make a long trip abroad. He said to his four wives, "Would you like to go with me?"

The fourth wife replied, "I don't want to go with you."

The husband hated her heartlessness, so he called his third wife and asked, "Can you go with me?" The third wife replied, "Even your favorite fourth wife won't go with you. Why should I go with you? "

The husband called his second wife and said, "Can you accompany me abroad?" "I owe you, I can send you out of the city, but you want me to accompany you abroad, and I can't promise."

The husband also hated the ruthlessness of the second wife and said to the first wife, "I want to travel abroad." Can you accompany me? "

The first wife replied, "I left my parents and entrusted myself to you. I will never leave your side, no matter whether I am bitter, happy, alive or dead." No matter where you go and how far you go, I will be with you. "

His three favorite wives refused to accompany him, so he had to leave Beijing with his first wife, which was by no means a suitable candidate.

It turned out that the foreign country he was going to was the world of death. Monogamy and monogamy are human consciousness.

The fourth wife is human. Man loves his body as a husband loves his fourth wife. However, if the time comes and life ends, the soul will always leave alone with the evil of this world, and the body will fall to the ground and there is no way to accompany it.

The third wife is no different from the wealth in the world. No matter how hard it is to save the treasure, you can't take a penny when you die.

The second wife is parents, wife and children, brothers, relatives, friends and servants. People live in the world, love each other, miss each other and are inseparable. When death is in charge, he will cry and send it to the grave outside the city. It won't be long before I gradually forget about it and get back into life.

The first wife is a person's heart, and we are inseparable. It is so closely related to us, but it is easy for us to ignore it and focus on the illusory body instead.

Maybe you just put a coat on her. Maybe there is a better scenery in your environment, but you didn't notice it.
