1. Facts and famous sayings about life and death

When we exist, death has not yet come to us, and when we die, we are no longer there. If a person correctly understands that there is nothing terrible about terminating existence, for him, there is nothing terrible about living.

Regarding death, the ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus once used this discussion Fight against the fear of death: "As for yourself, you have to get used to the idea that death has nothing to do with us... You have to get used to believing that death is something that has nothing to do with us, because all good and evil, good and bad, are felt For this reason, the correct understanding that death has nothing to do with us makes us happy about the fact that life is mortal. This understanding does not add endless time to life. It liberates us from the desire for immortality. If a person correctly understands that there is nothing terrible about ending life, then for him, there is nothing terrible about living. Therefore, the most terrible of all evils. Death is insignificant to us, because when we exist, death has not yet come to us, and when we die, we are no longer there.

Death leaves a huge legacy to the living. Sadness and pain. Of course, the dead don't know it, and they don't care, but the living people realize its horror because of death. In other words, people die not for themselves, but for bystanders.

If a person correctly understands that there is nothing terrible about ending life, then for him, there is nothing terrible about living. 2. Beautiful sentences about treating life and death correctly

If you know correctly. Life and death are inevitable processes, so life itself is dignity.

Because there is no way to separate survival and death; the inevitable coming of death is already determined at birth. Therefore, survival is not inevitable. It is not troublesome and pitiful, and death does not need to be sad or miserable; it depends on our attitude towards life and death.

Life and death are a broad and profound topic for different people. There are different views, ideas and positions.

This topic has gradually attracted attention from both Eastern and Western people in the past three decades. There are many scholars from various perspectives such as philosophy, religion, and medicine. Let’s discuss it. In Tibetan systematic Buddhism, there are many discussions about this kind of issues, and I have generally read some of them. However, today I am not discussing it from the perspective of Tibetan Buddhism, but from the standpoint of Chinese Han traditional Buddhism. Let’s talk about the dignity of life and death.

I am not a scholar or expert on death studies. I only know how to explain it from the perspective of Buddhism, my understanding of Buddhism, and my experience and observation of life and death. ; Today’s speech, I divided it into eight sub-topics. Many Buddhists have a negative feeling about life, thinking that life is helpless, suffering, and a burden. This is the reason why they do not understand Buddhism. .

The Buddha said: "The human body is rare, and the Dharma is hard to hear." The wisdom life of our Dharmakaya is how to become enlightened? How to become a Buddha? To become enlightened and become a Buddha, we must use our physical body to achieve the goal of practice; the physical body is the life of the physical body, and only in the process of human life can we hear the Dharma and practice the Dharma.

Many people think that practicing cultivation means going to the Pure Land of Buddhism to practice. This concept is wrong. Because if a Bodhisattva wants to become a Buddha, he must be in the human world, not in the form of other types of living beings.

You must first have a human body before you can arouse your mind; you must arouse the bodhisattva heart, cultivate the bodhisattva path, and then become a Buddha. Therefore, the human body is the most lovely and precious; from an ordinary person to a Bodhisattva, from a Bodhisattva to a Buddha, they are all cultivated in the human world.

The birth and death of life are closely related and inseparable. Death is certain at birth.

Life may not be joyful, and death may not be sad. If life has no dignity, how can there be joy? If death has dignity, why should it be sad? If we know that life and death are inevitable processes, then life itself is dignity. Because there is no way to separate life and death; the inevitable arrival of death has been determined at birth.

Therefore, survival does not need to be troublesome and pitiful, and death does not need to be sad and miserable; it depends on our attitude towards survival and death. If there is no dignity in survival and living, then what is so regrettable about death? What's so exciting about life? On the contrary, if death is dignified, then what is there to be sad about? 3. The dignity of life is experienced and displayed by living a meaningful, valuable and purposeful life.

Human life is a stage and a process of life and death. The dignity of life can establish its meaning and goals from many aspects such as ethical relationships, social perspectives, historical judgments, philosophical theories, religious beliefs, etc.

However, today I am not discussing the dignity of life and death from the perspective of a Buddhist. From a Buddhist perspective, life exists for the purpose of receiving retribution and fulfilling vows.

The wishes made in the past must be fulfilled; the karma made in the past must be repaid. Therefore, life exists because of the fact of cause and effect.

The value of life is not to be evaluated and judged by objective others, but to take responsibility yourself to complete the responsibilities that you must complete in this life, and at the same time try to use your limited resources. Life, make the highest and greatest contribution. Everyone plays many different roles in the world, such as parents, husband and wife, children, teachers, students, etc.

Therefore, we must do our best to fulfill our responsibilities, enrich ourselves, and make contributions without asking for anything in return. Just think about how to be beneficial to others, and use all your material and spiritual abilities to dedicate one, two, or even many people. This is the value of life; even to a natural environment, you must Fulfilling the responsibility of protecting and making sacrifices is doing work that benefits oneself and others, and is also practicing the Bodhisattva path.

This requires a general direction as your eternal destination. You must share everything you have with others and dedicate it to all sentient beings.

At the same time, continue to make aspiration, hoping that you can grow and dissolve, be able to integrate and transcend, and make endless contributions. If such a goal is established, no matter whether life is long or short, it will be extremely dignified.

Life is a right, and death is also a right; life is a responsibility, and death is also a responsibility. When you are alive, accept it and use it; when it is over, accept it and welcome it.

I often say to patients with terminal cancer: "Don't wait for death or be afraid of death. Living one more day, one minute, one second is good. Cherish the life you are alive." Because survival and death are both. It is an inevitable phenomenon in infinite time; when you should not die, you should not seek death; when you must die, there is no use coveting life.

Life and death are closely related. From the day everyone knows the fact of life, they must be mentally prepared to face the coming of death.

You must know that the person who dies may be you, or it may be a relative or friend. Such a thing may happen at any time. This is not to make young people fear death and scare them with death, but to make them grow up Only knowing the fact of death can help us grow wisely. When Shakyamuni Buddha was more than ten years old, he discovered the fact of human life process, from birth, old age, illness, to death. This prompted him to practice, to realize the Tao, to grow, to gain great wisdom, and then Saved humanity all over the world.

(3) We should cherish life, respect the value of life, and use life to grow ourselves and contribute to others. No one has the right to know when death will occur; therefore, know that it will come, but do not worry about when the fact of death will occur.
