Why every cat must have been a monk in a previous life

Remember the saying; Is there a lot of monks in front of the gate of hell, that is, if a monk does not practice before his death, he may fall into hell because he does not get rid of greed and hatred during his practice, and it is still good to be reincarnated as a cat, which is caused by the monk's behavior during his lifetime. However, these are just legends, just a kind of admonition to practice devotionally, not enough evidence, just for reference.

This idea is actually an inaccurate legend or a humorous expression that the cat was not a monk in his previous life.

There is no direct connection between a cat as an animal and a by-living path, while a monk is a human identity. In Buddhist beliefs, monks usually practice to achieve liberation and transcend samsara, but this does not mean that they can become cats or other animals in samsara.

Therefore, the idea that every cat was not a monk in a previous life is just a humorous comparison between cats and monks. In reality, the cat and the monk are two completely different entities, with different life trajectories and ways of being.

Do you think it's possible? Buddhism (monks) have only appeared for less than 3,000 years, which means that there were no monks 3,000 years ago, and cats have existed on the earth for at least a few million years. Oh, it's April Fool's Day, and that's the problem!

The first floor is incisive, but why do some people still believe in Buddhism?

Clearly, man needs a true God in his heart to fill his emptiness. If you can't find a true God, you can only look for it randomly, or simply make one yourself.

1. The role of cats in ancient cultures

In ancient cultures, cats have always been regarded as mystical animals, worshipped as gods or pets by people. In ancient Egypt, cats were regarded as sacred animals and were worshipped as incarnations of the goddess Bastet, and as such were revered and protected. In Japan, cats are seen as a symbol of luck next to the oak chop; In China, cats are "mysterious, agile and majestic" and are also regarded as good rat catchers.

As a result, cats played a soft, mysterious, and spiritual image in people's minds, and their status in ancient cultures was highly revered.

2. Similarities between cats' behavioral characteristics and humans

The most characteristic feature is that the cat is an independent, autonomous individual, often wandering around, hunting, and grooming its own hair. These also share a lot of similarities with humans. In addition, cats have deep, mysterious and quiet eyes, they can recognize human language and affection to a certain extent, and sometimes even seem to actively cater to human emotions.

This has some resonance with the characteristics of human beings with emotional cognition and independent thinking, and to a certain extent, there are more similarities between humans and cats.

3. What the cultural values of cats have in common with humans

The place of cats in ancient cultures and their role in the human mind has long transcended physical existence. In various cultures, cats are regarded as auspicious, energetic, lucky, and guardian in different cultural forms such as legends, poetry, and paintings. The existence of these cultures not only deepens the interaction between cats and humans, but also increases the deep connection between the cultural value of cats and life, and such a relationship will bring people life value, cultural value and harmonious coexistence between man and nature.

4. The connection between the mysterious identity of the cat and the past life of humans

Legend has it that cats keep shuttling back and forth in the long river of time. Does this mean that cats are some kind of existence in a human past life? There is no way to verify this question, but what is certain is that there is an inescapable connection between the mystery of cats and the past life of humans.

In other words, there is an unusual connection between humans and cats, which transcends the temporal, cultural and social connections of the present, and deepens the identity of these two living beings. This kind of identity blending, or symbiosis, is the best explanation for the cat being seen as a human in a past life.
