There are two types of diseases: external and internal patients.
External diseases are various diseases such as stomach pain, cancer and lung disease.
Their greatest threat is just to death, and their influence is only in this life.
Internal suffering is afflictions such as greed, hatred and ignorance.
Because they can drive our body, speech, and mind to commit all kinds of bad behaviors such as killing, causing disasters to prolong the future of countless kalpas to suffer terrible pain and retribution, they are definitely more serious than external diseases.
If we suffer from severe stomach problems in this life, we will suffer only a few years of suffering, at most it will only be sick to death.
But if we develop a strong sense of anger, it will cause rationality and even kill animals, which will lead to the cause and effect of many lifetimes and the rebirth of the three evil realms, and will never be restored.
This series of many sufferings comes from only a thought of anger.
From this we can see that heart disease is extremely terrible.
The pain of death does not only refer to the joints and the pain they suffer during death, but also includes the fear and anxiety that will accompany it.
We have already discussed these in detail when discussing the process of death just now and will not be repeated here.
In the human world, in addition to the above four sufferings, there are also sufferings that cannot be obtained, suffering from separation, suffering from hatred, and suffering from the five aggregates of resentment.
Relatively speaking, the sentient beings who are reborn in the animal realm are the ones who suffer the least among the three evil realms. Few living on land and most of the sentient beings who live in the sea.
From the smallest insects to whales and elephants, they all belong to the animal realm.
In addition, there are animals that we don’t see often, such as the Dragon Clan and the Golden Winged Bird, which also belong to the animal category.
Some animals have only one day, while others can live for as long as many kalpas.
As long as we observe the eating of animals on land, we can understand the pain of this path slightly.
Animals wandering in the wild suffer from cold, heat, hunger, thirst, hunted and eating each other for a long time.
Animals raised by humans are also miserable by labor, whipping, and even slaughtered to take their skin, flesh and bones.
The lives of hell and hungry ghosts are not in time to practice Buddhism because of great suffering.
All living beings in the animal realm are ignorant and unwise, so it is unlikely that they can understand Buddhism, so they cannot practice good deeds.
Among them, only a very small number of animals are exceptional.
Therefore, once you fall into the animal realm, you will suffer pain until your karma is eliminated and another small good in the past is mature, and you will be expected to be a human being again.
Think about it, how many times we have killed in this life, which will lead to countless reincarnation in the three evil realms, and will never be restored.
The suffering of hungry ghosts is slightly less than that of hell, but greater than that of animal realms.
If we compare intelligence, the intelligence of hungry ghosts is higher than that of animals. All living beings in the hungry ghost realm are born from the fetus, and each fetus will give birth to hundreds of Japanese devils.
The causes and conditions of being born in the hungry ghost realm are not only common bad karma, but also related to the karma of refusing to give alms, stealing, or not saving when you see difficulties.
The lifespan of sentient beings in this realm is uncertain, and some hungry ghosts can live up to tens of thousands of years in the world, and they are suffering from the painful consequences caused by bad karma for a long time.
All beings in hell can’t see them with the eyes of ordinary people.
All living beings in the hungry ghost realm can be seen with the naked eye.
Hungry ghosts scattered in different places, and some of them scattered in the world on earth.
In the city on earth, it is unlikely that there will be sentient beings in the hungry ghost realm lingering.
But in the wilderness, sometimes you will see a fireball or a firelight at night, which is the flame that spurts out from the mouth of a hungry ghost who lingers in the dark.
Most hungry ghosts suffer from the pain of hunger and thirst lingering in the dark, and are also bullied by the powerful people in their path.
They can be divided into three categories: external obstruction ghosts, internal obstruction ghosts and dietary obstruction ghosts.
Because of past karma, external obstacles have encountered various external obstacles over the years, which prevents them from eating.
They have big belly and will never be full.
Their feet are very small and thin, like dry firewood branches that are almost broken, and they can hardly bear the weight of their bodies.
When they see food from afar, they have to fall and touch and try hard to move forward. However, when they approach food, due to their karma, the food will become all kinds of uneasy things, and the drink will also turn into unsweet liquids such as phlegm, pus, blood, or urine.
In addition, the external barrier ghost will give birth to multiple Japanese devils in one child. Moreover, the Japanese mother has a very strong mother and loves her son as if she is alive, but she cannot find enough food to take care of her children, which only increases pain.
The instinct ghost's mouth is emitting fire, and his throat is as small as a pinhole, so even if he successfully finds food, he cannot swallow it.
Even if they can swallow food, after entering the stomach, not only will they not make them feel full, but will make their stomachs burn and be very painful.
Whenever the food is damaged, the food becomes flame, weapon or all kinds of things that cannot be eaten.
When a hungry ghost looks at a river, the entire river will dry up, preventing it from quenching its thirst.
Why do these incredible situations happen?
This is because the karma of all living beings in the hungry ghost realm is the heaviest and their blessings are extremely low.
For the same cup of water, due to different karma and blessings, sentient beings in heaven, sentient beings in the human world and hungry ghosts will meet it as different things.
The living beings in the heavenly world see water as delicious nectar, and humans with slightly lower blessings see an ordinary cup of water in the cup, but the hungry ghosts see it as pyuria!
Objectively speaking, this cup of water is still a cup of water, but due to the karma and blessings of different sentient beings, it appears different things to different sentient beings.
In order to help all living beings in the hungry ghost realm, we can practice the method of offering smoke and food or small-scale offerings, etc.
Through the blessing of Buddha's power and mantra power, practitioners can turn the smoked smoke or the donated water into food and drink to save hungry ghosts, thereby relieving their pain.
By the way, sometimes we listen to folk legends that people will become ghosts when they die. These ghosts still look the same as before they die, and have been lingering in their former residences for a long time. This is an incorrect folk superstition, and the sentient beings in the hungry ghost realm are different from the ghosts described in folk legends.
Among the six realms, the pain of the hell is the most serious.Folk legend says that the Ten Palaces of Hell and the Eighteen Hell are just a general term. In fact, it can be subdivided into four parts: the Eight Hot Hells, the Eight Cold Hells, the Nearby Hells and the Lonely Hells.Except for the lonely hell, the other hells are created by the collective and common karma of sentient beings.Those who commit the most serious evil deeds will be reborn in the hell and will be able to leave the suffering of this path after tens of trillions of years.The sentient beings in hell do not come out of the mother's womb, nor do they come out of the egg, but are produced by transformation.All beings reborn in the eight hot hells suffer all kinds of great suffering.In some hot prisons, sentient beings will kill each other, but they will not die. They can only endure the pain of being killed over the years and cannot escape.In other prisons, sentient beings will be burned until seven holes are smoked, dismembered, or put into molten copper and cooked until the skin is broken and the flesh is rotten.These are the tragic situations that have been transformed into when the evil karma of the past matures, and they are extremely painful.In the Eight Great Cold Hells, sentient beings are forced by different degrees of cold suffering, and may even be frozen and stand stagnated for tens of billions of years, but will not die because of their karma.I won’t describe the sufferings of other hells in detail here (Note: Referring to the master’s work “The Wheel of Life and Death”, in short, the hell path is the most painful path among the six paths.
The Six Paths of Reincarnation Picture is also known as the Six Interests of Mind Picture, the Six Interests of Life and Death Wheel. The statue is carved from the "Six Interests of Reincarnation Sutra" in the south rock of the Great Buddha Bay of Baoding, with a niche of 7.8 meters high and a width of 4.8 meters.
There is an original giant wheel with a diameter of 2.7 meters in the niche, called the Six Rhythm Wheel. According to Buddhism, this wheel is a wheel that carries people to run life and death in the three realms and six paths.
The carving of the wheel outside the wheel, the holy king of the wheel, the Buddha of the three generations, has ugly faces, blond heads, fangs, feet, turtle heads, and wings, and arms around the giant wheel, indicating that the karma of life is irreversible.
The six wheels are divided into four levels: curly hair practitioners sitting down in the center of the inner layer.
There is a pig on the left, a pigeon on the right, and a poisonous snake on the seat.
The three animals represent the three poisons of ignorance, greed and anger respectively. Buddhism believes that there are many evil karma in life, among which the three poisons are the most important, which becomes the root cause of all evil karma.
Therefore, it is called the Three Ungood Roots and is listed as the first of the fundamental afflictions.
Six threads of light emitted from the walker (center of the circle), and directly shot out the wheel, dividing the giant wheel into six parts.
The six parts of the second level are the so-called six realms, that is, the consequences produced by six kinds of karma.
Directly above the second floor is the way of heaven, carving the sun and the moon around the top of Mount Sumeru, and there is an An Palace on the top.This path is clean and bright, magnificent, and cannot be compared with the human world.
The right of the way of heaven is the way of humanity. Four people wear crowns and robes, and stand with objects. This way is where people live and where humans live.
On the left side of the Heavenly Way is the Asura Dao carved with three heads and six arms, holding various weapons.
Asura was originally a brave and good at fighting, and he was victorious in every battle. He had the same ability. However, because he was too angry and angry, he was driven out of the Heavenly Way and descended to the Asura Way. The second level of the Asura Way is the Hell Road engraved with a pitch-black hell gate. A horse-faced jailer was about to throw a sinner into the oil pan.
This path is where all sufferings gather and miserable.
On the right side of the Hell is the Hungry Ghost Realm, where a hungry ghost holds a person with his hands and bites his head.The most painful of the hungry ghosts in this way is not only often hungry, but also rarely get a meal for thousands of years. Even if you get it, you will be immediately burned by fierce fire and burned to ashes.On the left side of the Hell Road is the animal road, which carves a lion, a cow and a horse for people to drive and eat each other.This Tao is where all animals gather.
The third floor statue expresses the basic content of the Twelve Relationships of Dependence, that is, the cause of suffering and the name of sentient beings. A general of Rakshasa is engraved in the small round niche in the middle of the third floor.
Wearing a uniform, holding a sword, sitting in a dangerous position.
The following are engraved in sequence along the counterclockwise direction: an old man sits leisurely and tiles beside him; a monkey sits in a row, a fisherman sits on a boat and fishes; a practitioner meditates meditation; a man and a woman rubbing hands with each other; a woman stands and a man who wants to sit tells the story; a mother holds a baby in her arms; a young man kicks a clay pot and beats an old woman; a pregnant woman; a waiter supports an old man; a sick man; a coffin, two women cry with their coffin; a man sits together and talks, showing sadness; a man covers his face with both hands, feeling sad; a woman holds a child on her back and bids farewell to the man; a man holds the reins tightly, holding a horse without riding.
These statues in turn express the twelve links in the Twelve Theory of Dependence: ignorance, action, consciousness, name and form, six places, touch, feeling, love, attachment, existence, birth and old age (illness), death, sorrow and distress, and other conditions or cause and effect in life.
External diseases are various diseases such as stomach pain, cancer and lung disease.
