The meaning of sacrificing one's life to seek the Dharma means; Sacrificing one's body: giving up one's body; Seeking the Dharma: Seeking the Dharma. Originally, it meant that Buddhists did not hesitate to sacrifice themselves and seek scriptures from afar.

In this way, it is said that Shakyamuni practiced asceticism in the snow-capped mountains in his past life, and was called "the master of the snow-capped mountains". Heaven and earth saw the monk's penance, turned into a rakshasa, tested his heart, and read the half-verses that the Buddhas said in the past: "All actions are impermanent, and it is the law of birth and destruction."

Tuas was overjoyed when he heard half of it, and resolutely gave up his life to throw himself into the cliff in order to seek the second half of the story ("life and death have been destroyed, and silence is joy"). For example, the "Heart and Earth Meditation Sutra Preface" says: "When the Buddha used to be in the ordinary man, he entered the snow-capped mountains to seek the Buddha's way; The body is brave and diligent, and the whole body is sacrificed for half of the body.

There is also a Buddhist allusion, which is contained in the volume of "Five Lantern Huiyuan". Hui Ke sought Dharma from the first ancestor of Zen Buddhism, Bodhidharma, stood in the snow all night, and cut off his left arm to show his sincerity. This is also a well-known example of sacrificing one's life to seek the Dharma.

There is also Xuanzang's westward trip to India to obtain Buddhist scriptures, and after hardships and unchangeable will, he finally arrived in Tianzhu and retrieved the Buddhist scriptures. It became a major event in the history of human culture.
