    The Buddhist view of life and death is very profound and unique. According to Buddhist teachings, birth and death are a cyclical process called samsara. Reincarnation refers to the phenomenon of continuous reincarnation of life in different births and deaths.

    In Buddhism, life and death are not an absolute end, but a transition.

    Buddhism holds that the birth and death of a living being is driven by the karma of its past lives. Karma is the cumulative result of what an individual does in his or her life. Good karma leads to a better life in the next life, while bad karma leads to a life of suffering and unhappiness.

    Therefore, a person's rebirth and death are influenced by the karma of their past lives.

    The ultimate goal of Buddhism is to get rid of samsara and reach nirvana. Nirvana is a state beyond the cycle of birth and death, which means eternal tranquility and liberation. To attain nirvana, one needs to practice, accumulate merit, realize wisdom, and eventually eliminate the afflictions of greed, ignorance, and naivety, so as to transcend the cycle of birth and death.

    In Buddhism, life and death are seen as an opportunity for people to gradually free themselves from the suffering of samsara through the practice and practice of the Dharma. Therefore, Buddhism encourages believers to actively practice in their lives with a view to moving towards the path to liberation in future lives.

    Vajra Prajnaparamita Sutra (excerpt).

    All sentient beings and the like.

    If oviparous. If viviparous. If wet. If metaplasia.

    If colored. If colorless. If you want to. If you don't want to. If you don't think about it, you don't think about it.

    I have brought all of them into nirvana. And extinguished.

    In this way, there are countless boundless beings who are extinguished. There are no sentient beings who have attained extinction. Why.

    Subodhi. If the Bodhisattva has my appearance. Physiognomy. The appearance of all beings. The longevity of the face. That is, non-bodhisattvas.

    Dafang Guangyuan Jue Shuduo Sutra (excerpt).

    Good man. What a cloud. It is called all sentient beings. The one who bears witness by the heart.

    Good man. For example, there are people. Adaptation. Forget yourself.

    Four chords are slow. Adopt the good party. Micro needle wormwood. Then you know that there is me. It is the evidence of the past. Fang is my body.

    Good man. Its heart is even. Evidence is as it comes. After all, I know. Pure nirvana. It's all my face.

    Good man. What kind of person is the cloud. It is called all sentient beings. Enlightened Person.

    Good man. Realize that there is me. He will not recognize me. What I realized is not me. The same is true of enlightenment.

    Enlightenment has been exceeded. All witnesses. All of them are human. Good man.

    Its heart is even. Enlightenment nirvana. It's all me. Less understanding. Prepare for evidence. All celebrities.

    Good man. What a cloud and what a living being. It is called all sentient beings. The heart is self-enlightened. Unattainable.

    Good man. For example, there are people. So it is. I am sentient beings.

    then know the other person. Speak of sentient beings. It's not me, it's not that.

    The cloud is not me. I am sentient beings. It's not me. The cloud is not the other. I am sentient beings. It's not my fault.

    Good man. But all sentient beings. Enlightenment. It's all me.

    And I'm human. Unattainable. There is something. The face of all beings.

    Good man. What is the life phase of the cloud. It is called all sentient beings. The mind is pure. Those who have realized it.

    All karmic wisdom. I don't see it. It's like a lifeline.

    Good man. If the heart sees. All enlightened beings. It's all dirt. The one who is awakened. Never leave the dust.

    Such as soup and ice. There is no other ice. Those who know the ice sell. Save me, feel me. The same is true.

    Good man. Beings in the last days. Not four-phase.

    Although it has been through many eons. Diligent monasticism. But the name is there. It won't work out. All holy fruits.

    Hence the name. Fa-rectification in the last days.

    Why. Recognize everything I am. For Nirvana. There is proof and enlightenment. Fame accomplishes the cause.

    For example, there are people. Take the thief as the son. The treasure of his family. It doesn't work out.

    Why. There is my lover. Also love Nirvana. I love the roots. It is the phase of nirvana.

    There are those who hate me. He also hates life and death. I don't know who I love. True life and death. Don't hate life and death. The name is not liberating.

    I wish you all good luck. Bow to all the Buddhas of the ten directions.

    Shakyamuni Buddha).

    Amitabha) Medicine Buddha Liuliguang Buddha).

    De Nei Feng Yan Wang Buddha).

    If a person looks down on life and death, he will not feel too much nostalgia for other things, so he will not cherish everything around him, but if it is a matter of righteousness and righteousness, he can only say that the other party is a strong-willed person. Seeing through life and death is a concept and theory. For example, life is impermanent, life is all suffering, coming and going is empty, and reincarnation is selfless.

    Our body is the body of the four false combinations, and there is birth and death everywhere in the world. Life and death, suffering endlessly.

    Buddhist practice is to get rid of birth and death and achieve eternal existence. Only by seeing through and letting go can we realize the truth. It is necessary to cultivate the precepts and set wisdom.

    To cultivate enlightenment and purity. To attain Buddhahood. That's why this road is being built.

    Our teacher, Shakyamuni Buddha, is the one who has succeeded and completed the Buddhahood. He is our great mentor and great dependence. We should strive to practice according to the methods taught by our teachers to reach eternity. There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south.

    There are three most difficult points in life to understand, one is to enjoy loneliness, one is to learn to part, and the other is to see through life and death.

    Among these three points, it is the most difficult to see through life and death. Loneliness is learning to be alone, parting is to be at peace with encounters, and seeing through life and death is a combination of loneliness and parting, if you don't understand the first two, then you will never be able to see through life and death.

    1. Passing away. Because self-nature is neither born nor destroyed, neither increased nor decreased, neither impurified nor impure. To live is to die, and to die is to be reborn.

    2. Buddhism believes that there are four types of death:

    1) Death at the end of life: This is the so-called end of life of the slag, just like the lamp oil burns out, the lamp will naturally be extinguished, and the longevity that ordinary people expect is actually an upper limit. The so-called "there are those who are born and die in the twilight, those who are born in spring and summer and die in autumn and winter, and those who die in ten years, a hundred years, and a thousand years.

    It means that life expectancy is limited, and it is impossible to escape.

    2) Death at the end of the blessings: The scripture says: "The world is ignorant of life and death, and the naked eye is ignorant of sin and blessing."

    The lifespan of all sentient beings is like a bubble in the water and soil, and once all their blessings are squandered, they will naturally die. This is the same reason that a rich man who has lost his money becomes a beggar and will eventually starve to death and freeze to death.

    3) Death quietly: It is generally called "horizontal death", which is not supposed to die, because of an accident, unable to avoid it and the head is different, such as: death in battle, death in a car accident, assassination, and being bitten by tigers, leopards, jackals, and ......etc., are difficult to know in advance, as the saying goes:

    Three inches of qi are used in a thousand ways, once impermanence is resting", is to describe this kind of change.

    4) Death freely: The first three kinds of death are unpredictable and involuntary, but this kind of free death can be grasped and autonomous, that is, the realm of "life and death freely" in Buddhism. There are many profound ancient virtues in Buddhism, which are born if you want to be born and die if you want to die, and you are not bound by the general limits of life and death.

    1. The famous "Six Ruyi" in the "Diamond Sutra" of the Six Ancestors Huineng: Everything has a way, such as a dream like a bubble, like fog and electricity, and should be viewed as such!

    2. Meaning: Life is too short and will pass quickly, even if you are rich, even if you are the richest man in the world, once death comes, what is the difference between you and a worthless beggar? Life's wealth, career, and family are all illusory and unreal, and life's glory, wealth, fortune, fortune, and fortune are all fickle.

    3. Why did the Buddha choose the world, to be born in the world, to be born in the world, and to become enlightened in the world, the purpose is to purify all sentient beings and remind the world that "birth, old age, sickness and death" are the impermanence of life. Life and death are fast, and so should enlightenment. Fuxian Bodhisattva Warning World:

    The day has passed, and life has decreased, like a fish in less water, what is the joy of Si?

    The public should be diligent and diligent, such as saving the head, but the mind is impermanent, and be careful not to let go. How urgent life is, the so-called time goes by and there is no turning back, this is a reminder that we need to turn into enlightenment, and to go beyond the six realms of reincarnation. Only by knowing the truth of life and understanding the impermanence of life and death can we be born in adversity and die in peace.

In fact, it can be said that Confucianism does not know death, but Confucianism retains the reality of the fear of death in life. And the choice that makes Confucianism really face the righteousness of sacrificing life and forgetting death is purer for itself, and the experience in the world is more real, and only then can it refine its true heart. This is also the practice of Confucianism, the enlightenment of Confucianism.
