2 Fear of life
Zhang Quanmin
Before his death, Master Hongyi repeatedly told his disciples to put his body in a niche, and a bowl was placed under every corner of the niche, which was filled with water to prevent ants and insects from being burned innocently when they climbed onto the corpse. After reading the biography of Master Hongyi several times, I am always deeply moved by Master Hongyi's deep sympathy and awe for life.
When I was in high school, rats often came out to steal food in the corner of my backyard. I don't know why, a cruel idea came to my mind, quietly hiding by the wall, waiting for the mouse to come out and scald it with boiling water. As a result, a big mouse was scalded by boiling water and shrank into the hole in the wall with a scream. I don't know if it is dead, but I didn't realize my cruelty at that time, because "when a mouse crosses the street, everyone shouts", in the eyes of human beings, the mouse seems to have a thousand reasons to die. However, it was two months later, which aroused my greatest touch and regret: I saw the big mouse in the backyard again. It is still alive, but its body is covered with white spots left by burns, but the most painful thing is that it is still pregnant with a little mouse, with a big belly, slowly looking for food on the ground. I can't express my feelings at that time. I just feel that the word "life" suddenly stands out in my heart. I just feel how despicable my behavior is. This feeling may seem ridiculous to others, but for me, it was at that time that I gradually felt the meaning and weight of life.
French thinker Schwaetzer once wrote in Fear of Life: When he volunteered to go to Africa to practice medicine, one evening, he saw several hippos swimming side by side with their boats in the river and suddenly realized the loveliness and sacredness of life. As a result, the thought of "fear of life" suddenly appeared in his mind and became the cause he tirelessly advocated and pursued since then.
In fact, only when we have awe of life, will the world show infinite vitality in front of us, and we will always feel the nobility and beauty of life everywhere. Small ants moving on the ground, birds singing on the branches in spring, antelopes running at the foot of snow-capped mountains on the plateau, whales swimming in the sea, etc. , have enriched the life world. We will always get the epiphany and joy of life through experience.
Therefore, whenever I read those stories about life, I always feel the unbearable weight of life in my heart. For example, in the Sahara desert, the female camel jumped into the pool in order to let the young camel drink the water that could not reach; In order to let the young antelopes escape, the old antelopes jumped on the cliff one by one, and let the young antelopes jump to the opposite hill with them as springboard at the moment of falling; When the eel is fried in the oil pan, it always bows in the middle, just to protect the fish eggs in its belly; A female wolf looked at the little wolf who died in the hunter's trap, sobbing and howling in the cold moonlight ... In fact, it is not only human beings who have the divine glory of life.
Sometimes, we fear life to love human beings more. Feng Zikai once advised children not to step on ants with their feet and not to kill ants with fire or water. He believes that he did this not only because of sympathy, but also because he was afraid that the child's little cruelty would expand in the future, so that he would fly a plane to bomb innocent civilians.
Indeed, we are afraid of all life on earth, not only because human beings are compassionate, but also because their fate is human destiny: when they are all killed, human beings are like the last domino, and then fall down.

5 Wild animals
Tian Lei
Once, I was deeply attracted by Animal World on TV, although I didn't like watching TV that much (and it was an enduring popular program). I like it, not because I seldom see the freshness of these fierce large wild animals, but because of the freedom and ferocity of galloping between heaven and earth in the wilderness, the will of life to defend life and hard foraging, and the independence, self-esteem and self-confidence of that life in me.
I once saw a photo and was deeply moved by it. Those are a pair of snow wolf eyes, staring at me intently, firm, deep, heroic and breathtaking. It has accumulated great strength, ready to attack or respond to attacks for food at any time, and defend its existence and dignity.
I have also seen a photo of two zebras galloping in the desert, and the dust raised on the ground highlights their unrestrained upward momentum of holding their heads high and screaming; It is magnificent and heroic, and it is more and more stirring against the background of lead-gray dark clouds, just like a thrilling battle song on a dusty ancient road.
This is a cold and oxygen-deficient zone with an altitude of more than 5000 meters. Any animal may die of hypoxia, and the existence of life is extremely difficult. However, with their strong desire and unyielding will to survive, they still migrate on a large scale, struggling to find water and grassland, and stubbornly living in dangerous silence, forming a life melody that beats on the vast grassland and becoming a life landscape on the beautiful grassland.
Appreciation, there is. After all, in the city, living in a reinforced concrete space, you need to face and cope with the pressure at work and the competition between people. It is extremely rare to have a chance to see wild animals. Especially large wild animals; Not to mention witnessing and personally feeling the heroic spirit of galloping freely in mountains, grasslands and wilderness.
But more often, it is often infected by this wild passion; Eager to be as energetic and passionate as they are; Listening to their strong rhythm and melody of life, and swinging strong responses and beliefs in the depths of the soul can be traced back to the sincere belief in life born in the primitive human period, and finally realized life.
It is precisely because of the existence of other creatures in nature (especially wild animals) that human beings are no longer lonely in this world. Wild animals are not only friends of human beings, but also equal lives like human beings in the world, with personality, soul and passion for publicity-passion for their own life dignity and pursuit of struggle.
Freedom, self-confidence, unrestrained, passion, life should be like this. Without wild animals, we are isolated from nature by civilization. How can we appreciate the wonderful life and understand the true meaning of life?
For nature, every creature is equal and free, and life is full of passion. Nature is full of cruel competition: there are proud victories, tragic failures and even more ruthless deaths; There is sweetness, more hardship and suffering; But in any case, you can't and won't live without passion.
The competition of nature is cruel and wild, but the whole nature is harmonious and perfect. Human beings come into this world, which is also an integral part of nature. Longing for wildness and returning to nature is a nature buried deep in human hearts.
Restrain yourself, be kind to creatures, respect life and protect nature. There can't be only human beings left on the earth, and the earth doesn't just exist for human beings.
