Thank you for being alive.

Lead: From birth, we are going to die step by step every day. When you wake up every morning, you should be glad that you are still alive, so that you can cherish everything you have and give it with gratitude, so that life is meaningful. No wealth or power can bring life back. Respect and make good use of life.

Because sentient beings have too many emotions, the Buddha taught 84,000 different methods to cope with the different emotional troubles of sentient beings. It is impossible for a hospital to have only one department, but it should be divided into many departments: surgery, internal medicine, orthopedics and so on. Each department can be subdivided, so many kinds of drugs are needed. Only a few drugs can't treat so many different diseases. Treatment requires thousands of drugs, and it is necessary to prescribe the right medicine according to the actual situation of each patient.

There are too many heart diseases in all beings, and heart diseases need cardiotonic drugs. Buddhism is the best heart medicine. People who can meet Buddhism and practice Buddhism with sages and masters are very blessed.

As Mahayana Buddhists, when we wake up every morning, we should first tell ourselves, "I'm so glad I'm still alive." . I don't know how many people will wake up and say to themselves, I have said many times, we must learn to be glad that we are still alive.

Why do you want to emphasize it repeatedly? Because if you don't have this mentality, you won't cherish your life. People will ask, who doesn't love his life? This so-called "love" is mostly out of selfish considerations. When we say that we cherish life, we thank ourselves for being alive, our parents, our country, everything in the world, all buddhas and bodhisattvas and all sentient beings.

You need a lot of efforts and care from life to wake up. Therefore, from being glad that you are still alive, to cherishing every moment, cherishing every fate, cherishing everything, and then working hard to repay kindness. Only in this way can life be more meaningful.

Some of our disciples are terminally ill with cancer. For them, every day they live will earn another day. They are sincerely glad that they are still alive, cherish every moment of their lives, and strive to make their lives shine and make their lives more meaningful.

Most healthy people don't cherish their bodies at all, and they don't cherish every day they live, so life is basically wasted.

There are many people who have 30 thousand yuan now, but not many people who have 30 thousand yuan to live on. Living to over 80 years old is definitely a long life. It's also 30 thousand yuan. Isn't it strange that many people are nervous about money but not many people are nervous about life? If the money is gone, you can still make it. Is life useless without money? If you can only put 30 thousand yuan in your bag and let you take out one yuan every day, the money in your bag will become less and less, and you will become more and more nervous and insecure. This sense of helplessness that is gone forever is how human beings feel about the passage of life. We should respect life and make good use of it.

There is no wealth, power or strength in this world, which can be exchanged for a new life. As long as you are born, your blessings are the same, unless you keep accumulating virtues and doing good deeds and remit the karma and blessings of longevity to the "wealth bank" of your life. This longevity factor must be an indefinite career in your life. If you are employed, even if you are released for life, you will still die if you die. Even monks and virtues, or closed-door practitioners.

The 900-year-old Dragon Tree Master was cut off by the successor of Lexing King with auspicious grass; The venerable Mulian, known as the first magical power, was stoned to death by outsiders ... in our current words, it was called "sudden death". They practice so hard that they can't escape this profession.

The process of becoming a Buddha is not exactly the same, and it will be different according to personal circumstances. Just like the Nirvana and Nirvana of Lohan, the difference is that one purifies the body and the other does not completely purify the body.

So, stop doubting and muttering: Why do I still catch a cold after studying Buddhism? I studied Buddhism. Why did I get sick? This is telling you that what goes around comes around is true. If you just say that you studied Buddhism, everything will be fine, you won't get sick, and the cause and effect are all false. Your karma has not been completely purified. How can you not get sick?
