Since the infinite robbery, we have been ignorant, confused and upside down, creating all kinds of bad karma and rotating six ways. It is difficult to start centrifugation. So, be sure to activate! We should inspire it, arouse our sense of alienation and inspire our admiration! There are also two ways to stimulate this: folding and combining folding and taking. Like a sad father, Sakyamuni Buddha told us about the world's five evils, all kinds of disappointments and all kinds of evil dramas, in which we worked tirelessly.
What kind of living condition are we? The second half of Infinite Life Sutra vividly describes the sufferings of our mother-in-law in the world. The first is the endless majesty of the Western Heaven, and the second is the five evils and five pains of the women's world. These two verses are put together, alas! Western paradise is a cool swimming pool! Western paradise is a pure and beautiful home! This is a grand fire rally! This is a pit! This is a prison! This is a burning house! Only in this way can it be activated!
Then let's expand it specifically. This activation comes from our understanding of it and from our wise observation of it. The reason why we ordinary people have no wisdom is because we are confused, deceived and ignorant of the truth on the surface of life. Why did Sakyamuni Buddha talk about four truths and bitter truths first? Each of us lives in suffering, but we don't realize our own suffering. This is an inversion of confusion. It is a little wisdom to realize that we are suffering, which is a bitter truth. But often most people don't realize that, especially in the current market economy, when this material civilization is relatively developed, he feels very satisfied every day!
Last year, I met a small boss, chubby, wearing brand-name clothes and red. He asked me a question. He asked Buddhism, and there was no end to his sufferings. I feel very happy. What does this mean? If you don't know the truth, then you need profound wisdom to understand the suffering of life itself through this illusory, so-called illusion of happiness.
As a prince, why did Sakyamuni Buddha become a monk? It is precisely because of the physical pain of physical illness that he can't let go. Even if he is the son of heaven and the world is rich, he can't solve this problem, so he can't feel at ease. He wants to solve the most ontological problem in life, he wants to become a monk, and he also wants all beings to leave these eight hardships! Therefore, we should always observe the suffering of this world wisely, and then we should welcome the joy of the western paradise, and we should constantly learn from the pure land and the Five Classics in Buddhist scriptures. The pure land method of self-talk without asking reflects the ultimate compassion of the Buddhas who come to transform all beings and leave the sea of life and death!
Many classics have questions and talks, and only chanting Buddha does not ask and talk. Why can't all beings ask? Don't even dream about it! However, this method can completely give all beings the benefits of nirvana, so when you see that all beings can be trusted and mature, say it quickly! Be an uninvited friend of all sentient beings and benefit the real interests of all sentient beings!
Through Sakyamuni Buddha's announcement to us, comparing the state of the two places is indeed a bit rational, and we will not hesitate to make a choice. Let's talk briefly about the eight great sufferings in this world. Whether you are an emperor or a general, you will suffer the same.
We have suffering in this world, and birth itself is a kind of suffering. We are in the dark stage of ignorance and greed. Seeing this kind of predestined relationship between parents, he threw it in the past, and throwing it in the past has a function of pretending to be himself. Freud said that if he was interested in male roots, he would instinctively reject his mother and pretend to be a role! In this way, he will become a baby girl and reincarnate as a woman. If he is interested in female roots, he will instinctively reject his father, take on a role and become a boy. Then his parents' blood and his knowledge of Araille were mixed together, and he was born. In the mother's body, between raw and cooked dirty, it is to stay with shit every day.
Then suck mother's four rivers, fire, water and wind to grow his six roots. This process is very bitter! It stays in a very dark place, just like a prison, called a fetal prison! Mom eats hard food like a mountain falls, and drinking a glass of ice water is like an ice hell! He has suffered so much. Then, when he was pregnant in October, he came out of the narrow birth canal and hung upside down. He came into this world with that cry when he came out. The wind blows on the skin like a knife. Let's forget this bitterness now! Then you die in the western paradise and leave this bitter day! Not from the troubles of the reincarnation of lust, but from the will to read Buddha. The fruit of Amitabha's enlightenment is the lotus for us. This lotus flower represents the Buddha's enlightenment in the mire of our troubles. The parents of Jiupin Hehuahua are metaplasia, the metaplasia of Hehuahua! Not viviparous! So, when I went to the western paradise, I left my misery. However, among the three realms and six roads, this kind of suffering is round after round. It is better to be a human fetus in this life, and it may be worse to be a horse fetus, a cow fetus or a donkey fetus in the next life.
In this world, aging is a pain. Our thoughts and thoughts have the concept of time, and this time is based on our thoughts. The past thought is the past, the present thought is the present, and the coming thought is the future. This is San Ji in the past, present and future. But this concept is illusory, so the concept at this time is also illusory, which is called "the heart does not correspond to the law" in the hundred laws. Einstein's theory of relativity also tells us that time is illusory, just a tool to explain something, not the truth of the objective physical world. However, in this delusion of eight senses, when we think about migration, we will inevitably get old and feel old and bitter.
Look at those old people in the street. A few days ago, we also went to a nursing home. It's shaking! Metabolism, immune system decline! Various diseases! I can't even eat, and my teeth are falling out! Then at this time, he is very lonely! If you are old and have no faith, it is very lonely! I look forward to his children coming to see him every day. That child is too busy now! Don't come alone, talk to others like this. What are you talking about? That's just a memory of his seemingly brilliant past! What I am, what I am, but you always talk about it. Who wants to hear it? If you don't like it, he'll have to nag! So young people are most afraid of the nagging of the elderly! However, it should be noted that young people will be old themselves if they want to understand the old man, so to tolerate and understand the old man's nagging, you should enrich and respect him.
From the perspective of modern psychology, it is very pitiful for an old man without spiritual sustenance and religious belief. If he has a belief that he can recite Amitabha, then he is very comfortable. It doesn't matter whether his children look at him or not. He also wants you not to look at him. Look, he still won't let him read Buddha! He doesn't say that he doesn't miss Buddha. He goes to the streets every day, sitting on the street and watching the passing pedestrians and cars. His face is covered with dust. He just looks at it, and you see if it's pathetic. Bitter and old people don't like it. We all have to go through this process.
Suffering from illness, our four big bodies are like four poisonous snakes in a basket! How can we serve it? This snake will be ungrateful to the villain! If you bite it, it won't work. The imbalance is great, and 10 1 person gets sick. Therefore, each of us has experienced illness. When we are sick, we feel depressed. When we have a high fever, we feel as bad as in hell. Now everyone is really afraid of getting sick, but they have to face it.
There is no such thing in the western paradise! In the pure land of the west, it has left this heart of life and death, and it has no migration in spring, summer, autumn and winter! He won't get old! He is King Kong Rona Shen Yan, and he won't get old! The body composition of the dead in this western paradise is no longer our flesh and blood. Similar to the fusion of light and magnetism, the so-called pure body, electrodeless body. He doesn't have as many bacteria and viruses as we do. He won't get sick! Then there will be no medical insurance problem in the western paradise! Don't need so many doctors! So I left my old bitterness and illness.
We still have to face a problem in this world. This problem may be the last thing we want to face, but we must face it-death! How bitter! All beings are afraid of death! Life is worse than death! No matter how much it costs, even an hour, a minute of life will not be spared! Therefore, in the end, even if it is terminally ill, blood transfusion is needed, and the whole body is filled with tubes and oxygen bags! Why? He has a yearning for life. He doesn't want to leave this world, but he must leave this world. At this time, his pain is like peeling a turtle! How painful! Plus, he doesn't believe in cause and effect and has no practice. Where will he go after death? He's at a loss, dark and scared! Is the so-called out-and-out atheist, and now he's scared! But many people are too afraid of this and don't want to die, so he avoids this question.
Few people talk about death. Even if he saw many deaths, he thought it was someone else's business, not his business, and he would not die. Even if he lives to be over 90 years old, you should congratulate him. Oh, I wish you a long life! He will be unhappy, how can you let me die early! Therefore, he is persistent and nostalgic about life, but he must go. He is bitter! However, this life-oriented and life-hungry religion pursues eternal life! Taoism also pursues immortality! Feather to the sky! Christianity will live forever! Other religions want to do this, and it is very difficult to surpass it in the face of death. But when I went to the western paradise, I lived indefinitely. This unspeakable monk robbery will never die! A lifetime of mending a bodhisattva is equal to a lifetime of amitabha!
Why are they infinite? Because he proved the spirit and the body. When there is life and death, there is time, and when there is time, there must be aging and death! You are a fairy, a fairy, even if you practice meditation until you have to think about it, your tiny heart of birth and death has not been broken! Will fall into reincarnation! Just like a fish was frozen, but this one melted and it came back to life. None of this can solve the problem. Only when the contract proves that Nirvana is immortal can it be truly infinite. This is nirvana's constant joy and purity, a kind of sexual virtue that transcends time! In the western paradise, Amitabha's merciful blessing made us leave death and live indefinitely, so we should think about death every day during this period of life! We can't avoid this problem and implement the ostrich policy like ordinary people who don't practice. It is out of the question.
Buddhists directly solve this problem, and the problem of death is to learn this death and meet this death every day! I think about it every day. Did I solve this death? ! The death of karma in this period is the beginning of the rebirth of our pure lotus in the west and the birth of dharma wisdom. In pure land practice, it is called "Wen Yin Cheng Bu", and Wen is the reason of pure land when we read Buddhism. Lotus Metaplasia is such a literary achievement! At the moment of success, the karma of the world of women disappeared.
On his deathbed, Amitabha brought the lotus to the front, which is the cause of our pure land. When we were born on the lotus, the five aggregates of the mother-in-law world, such as wax prints, were made of wax. When the wax inkpad goes in, the wax becomes an inseparable part of the seal. After burning, the wax melts and the seal appears at the same time without gaps, which is called Wen Cheng Yin. When you reach the pure land of the west, you will gain infinite life and solve the problem of death in this world. This is called life and death. When we know this truth, a Buddhist pedestrian is very calm and happy in the face of this death, and he will not be afraid.
So many Buddhists left this world with very bright smiles at the end of their lives. Away from all fears and anxieties, he was filled with joy. You see, at the end of his life, before he met Amitabha, what expression in the world could match that kind of happy and heartfelt smile? We say that this world stresses hospice care, pure land practice, the name given to us by Amitabha, and the place where the western paradise will stay. This is the greatest and most comfortable hospice care! We should convey this kind of hospice care to all sentient beings and let them have a home. Even if you are terminally ill at the end of your life, it is usually a very painful time. If you convey Amitabha's compassion to him and let him recite the Buddha, he can live in the name of the Buddha, and this pain will be greatly reduced.
There are many examples in this regard, which have a strong sedative and analgesic effect. I really want to ask, what is pain? Actually, it's a little painless. What hurts is our illusory heart. If we put all the sincerity in the name of Amitabha, the body itself is a stinking bag and a fake thing. Separate this body from this painful heart, and you will feel at ease, and there is no harm in having a bitter experience. Look at the current Hindu believers. Why does he practice some asceticism? Pass something so sharp through your body, or hook your muscles with a hook, and do so. In fact, he is also a kind of spiritual training. If he is trained to have a certain degree of separation between the perceptual system and the body, he will have no pain and he will be very comfortable. Actually, he can be separated.
The question of death must be raised every day. Yinzu said that if web workers never forgets this dead word, the pottery industry will become his own. We don't want to avoid it, and we really can't avoid it. When the Buddha was alive, he asked his disciples, how long is life? Some disciples said it was only a few days, but the Buddha said he didn't know. Some disciples said that at a dinner party, the Buddha said he didn't know; The last disciple said that life is in the breathing room, and the Buddha is sure that this is it. Life is in the breathing room. If you can't get in at one breath, you have to part. We are dying every moment of every day. On the one hand, it is our own karma. We suddenly got a disease, got an epidemic, and even died suddenly at night. Our heart stopped beating, it just stopped beating.
This refers to our physical karma, and then look at natural disasters, which we can't expect. This kind of tsunami is found in several countries in Indonesia. Once tens of meters of waves come, all the boats, houses and so on will be swallowed up. Singapore is also in this marginal zone. Do you think this is dangerous? If this tsunami rolls around, Singapore, a tiny place, will go into the fish's stomach before it reacts, won't it? Therefore, when we think about this, we will feel the sense of urgency and urgency of life, and we must not be vague. We can't imagine how long I can live. I can live to be 80 or 90 years old and then die of natural causes.
This understanding of life, impermanence and suffering is very slow. In the Lotus Sutra, the Buddha told us that the fire house is a metaphor, and the three realms of the fire house are full of suffering, which is terrible. In the view of the rich elder, the interior of the house has rotted and may collapse at any time, and the fire has started outside. However, a group of rich people and old people's children are still playing in it, the room is dirty, and there are all kinds of poisonous snakes, scorpions and wild animals, but these children are still having a good time there. The rich elders told them to come out quickly, but they ignored me. I am very happy here. Why should I go out? Because they don't understand that there is a fire outside, the pillars of the whole house have been chewed up and may collapse at any time.
They don't have this sense of crisis, they don't understand, but the rich and the elderly can see clearly outside and are worried. They are all their own children and must be released. So he hurried to the fire house to persuade everyone to come out quickly, but he was still disobedient and disobedient. The rich old man knows what these children are thinking and what they want, and also knows that they like to play with sheep carts, deer carts and ox carts. He said outside, come out, I have a sheep cart for you to play with, a deer cart for you to play with, and an ox cart for you to play with. As soon as these children heard that there were sheep, carts, deer, carts and cows, they all liked them very much, so they ran out of the house and ran out. The rich old man sat at the crossroads and was relieved to see the children coming out. It's out anyway. It didn't give a sheep cart and a deer cart, but an unexpected big white ox cart. Be persuasive, Bodhisattva, enter the door of the fire house and tell us that there is no time to stay in this world.
However, we don't know the truth, and good teachers are also bitter. "Come back, the magic kingdom can't stop, rob will flow. The six roads must pass, and there is no rest everywhere, only smelling sorrow and joy. After this life, enter the city of nirvana. " Come back, come back quickly, I have been wandering for too long! What is this world? This is a magical town, a magical hometown, and a place ruled by Papman. You can't stay in magic town. Now, do you see whether our world is full of demons and dances? The devil has many cadres. He regards this as lust, hatred, jealousy, vanity, struggle, laziness, laziness, arrogance and doubt, all of which are the hands of the devil. How many of us are out of the devil's control now? Now it's time for Papman, the demon king, to sing a triumphant song. Look there, everyone is in the magic range. Who can get out?
If you want to jump out of the clutches, you have to have no Amitabha in the south, and the magic town can't stop. Since the infinite robbery, we have been wandering among the three realms and six roads for a long time. We have been to heaven, to earth, to hell, and so on. We have been to all six roads. Hear, everywhere is lamenting, sad voice, unhappy. Now let's ask, do we have a sense of happiness living in this so-called era of high material consumption?
On the mainland, a reporter once interviewed several rich people in Zhongguancun and asked them how they felt about life. As a result, none of them felt happy. When some big entrepreneurs talk to me, they often sigh that they are very unhappy. Although there is a lot of money, there is a saying in the mainland that some people are poor. But his explanation of the connotation of happiness is that happiness is to do what you want to do, meet the people you want to see and say what you want to say, which is so simple but impossible. People can't help themselves in the Jianghu. What's the fun of meeting people you don't want to see, saying things you don't want to say and doing things you don't want to do? I only heard a sad sigh. However, I am fortunate to hear about the pure land of Buddhism in this life. We should try our best to solve the problem of the cycle of suffering and reach the nirvana city of the western paradise.
The practice of chanting Buddha is to solve the problem of life and death. The important thing in life is birth, illness, death, but it's hard to say, and it's hard to raise this issue to such a high level. Human beings have been in this cycle for a long time, and it is not easy to raise the issue of life and death to the supreme position of life to solve it. In addition, in order to solve this problem, a Buddha has helped us and blessed us. Yesterday, we visited the original museum. We came to Singapore in the early days of Nanyang. These people's lives are really hard. This is a bitter history of China people coming overseas.
In the late Qing dynasty, due to the decline of the country, Chinese citizens did not live well at home and did not have the conditions to live and work in peace and contentment, so they drifted overseas to make a living. It was a narrow escape. It was a hard life, and I was in that state. However, how many people who lived in that state at that time were born centrifugal? Several others heard Amitabha's merciful call: Come back, come back, wanderer, you can't wander like this any longer! It's hard to hear and believe, so I'd rather live in a very, very dark corner and live without dignity. This confidence is hard to come by.
Master Yin Guang lived in a temple in Beijing in his early years. One day he came out for a walk and met a beggar who was about fifteen or sixteen years old. Master Yin Guang induced him, you read a Buddhist name, I will give you a penny, beggars can't read it. Master Yin Guangda said that if you read ten Buddhist names, I will give you ten pence. Don't read them. At this time, Yinzu felt sad, so he took out his wallet (about 400 yuan) and said that as long as he recited the Buddha's name, he would give you a money. Just read until the whole bag of money is used up. At this time, beggars still can't read. He not only stopped reading, but also cried, so the printer gave him a penny and left.
Yinzu said with emotion through this incident, "It's so heartless". You sent him a pile of money and he didn't even look at it. How deep is our karma? In this case, we really need to get rid of it. All of us here, life is getting better and better these days, but it is like a bright light. This life is not necessarily reliable, and the next generation is even more uncertain. Where will the next generation go? After all, those people who came to Nanyang in the early days were still individuals, not bad. It is impossible to say that they will die in the next life. Find out the distance quickly, it is infinite to go to the western paradise.
Look at love again. Everyone has a love, affection, love of husband and wife, love of children, but often relatives always leave. In wartime, or looking for a job, the pressure of survival and so on. This separation is bitter at this time. I don't want to leave. I hope it is sooner or later. But people are separated, just like cowherd and weaver girl. He is bitter, don't let him go.
Resentment will be bitter, and the last person you want to see and the most annoying person will meet every day. Hey, the road is so narrow! In fact, this is in line with the law of life, and the enemy will have a narrow road. If your enemy is in the United States and you are in Singapore, how can you become an enemy if you don't meet? I must be your colleague, husband and wife, father and son, sister, neighbor, and communicate with you every day, but I can't pass you. Then why? Because you owe him a lifetime, a lifetime, or his life, or his money, or his feelings, or whatever, you have to meet anyway to get rid of this debt relationship.
So you feel bad, but you feel bad. You have to consider paying your debts. You should be good at dissolving this enemy and turning hatred into good results. We can't make things worse in this life. How could he be sorry for me? What should I do? Then you're not complaining. ! Thinking about paying off debts, the enemy is the enemy. Alas, finding a husband by myself, how to eat and drink, and being so lazy all make me work hard to earn money to support him. You should support him, because you owe him, so you should calm down a little.
This son didn't live up to expectations. He spent a lot of money on me and made a lot of money without giving me a penny. This is also normal. You owe him money, so you want to pay your debts. However, there are no enemies in the western paradise, but all the good people in the world will meet in one place. They are happy when they meet, admire each other and help each other. Without my consciousness and what I have, they feel the same. Everyone is happy to see it, but it is bitter to leave resentment.
There are no parents, wives and children in the west, and he doesn't care about parting. They are all Taoist friends, and Taoist friends are wise. You are in the western paradise today, and you will soon go to another world, become a Buddha and become a Buddha. This parting has nothing to do with it. He won't feel pain, and he has nothing to feel. Nowadays, people are suffering from feelings, which is harmful to people. Especially men and women in love, it seems that his whole world is each other, so love is the most deceptive.
Oh, I love him, how noble he is and how small I am. This chemical secretion factor completely beautifies each other, and the more beautified each other, the smaller I am. The other person doesn't love me. It's over. My whole world is over. then what Kill yourself. Don't be deceived by this feeling! The western paradise has dissolved this feeling, turned this feeling into a kind of compassion and solved it with wisdom. Therefore, without love, you will be bitter and resentful.
In this world, you want nothing more! Let's think about it. Because we have desires, we have all kinds of pursuits to the outside world. However, no matter how hard we try and struggle, there will always be times when we can't satisfy our desires in a certain position, so we feel bitter. And people's desires are endless! When you earn100000, you see that others have100000 and want to pursue1000000. When you have 1 100,000, others still have1100,000. When you have 100 million, people still have 300 million. When you have 300 million yuan, you don't think you are in the top ten.
It used to be difficult to live without a house. Now there is a three-bedroom apartment with four bedrooms. When I live in a four-bedroom apartment, there will be a villa by the sea. This heart is very unbalanced, so he has to keep up with the competition, so he has to struggle and struggle. Because these villas, including those famous cars, are the embodiment of his identity and value. When I was a director, I felt that I still had the position of minister. When he becomes a minister, he wants to be president. When he became president, he also held the post of Secretary-General of the United Nations. Tasting it is delicious. In this position, there will be a wheel king, and the gods in the sky will be much more comfortable. Therefore, all this is hard to fill!
We can't suffer here. The best solution is contentment. Although contented people live in huts, they live in heaven, while dissatisfied people live in heaven like huts. How can I be satisfied? That is, if you want less, you can be satisfied, and if you are satisfied, you can always be happy. This is a happy prescription that ancient sages told us.
You can't find happy satisfaction in the outside world. In fact, what he pursues is external things, and he has not fundamentally solved the problem of life value. He believes that the higher the official position, the greater the wealth and the more books he writes, which is the expression of his self-worth. When you express everything outside as your self-worth, he will always be in a state of anxiety. Therefore, people should seek heartfelt satisfaction and self-worth affirmation. Looking inward, the modern market economy society, since industrialization, has a very troublesome phenomenon, that is, the market economy has triggered people's greed, because the operation of enterprises is to pursue the maximization of profits. In this era of market economy, it is utilitarian to evaluate people's value, depending on whether you make money or not. Ancient moral standards and aesthetic standards are eclipsed in this era, as well as religious values. Every day, we are suffering from this kind of suffering.
For this, people who study Buddhism must pass this pass, and there is no need to ask. Not asking doesn't mean you shouldn't work hard. That's not what I mean. In our hearts, we should have the wisdom to regard this world as a dream bubble and have a mind to be born. It is not surprising that the so-called cause of joining the WTO in the spirit of being born is humiliating. As long as we do our part, what will happen? Don't be too persistent. But ask about cultivation, don't ask about harvest. Because whether you have this thing in your life has something to do with whether you have Xiu De in your previous life. What you can't get, you can't get what you want. It's inevitable that you hit something, whether you like it or not.
People have their own lives. Of course, this kind of life can be transformed, so it is called fate. Because what we have now, a person's subjective initiative and various choices of human behavior can have a certain impact on the original life. Of course, if you have little power to change, your life trajectory will still follow the original trajectory. You must have a lot of good karma now, or you have a lot of evil power, which makes the trajectory of this life deviate. Therefore, this life is. Even modern molecular biology and genetics reflect this problem.
In 1944, the Austrian physicist Schrodinger published a pamphlet entitled "What is Life". In the book, the author clearly points out that DNA may be the carrier of life information coding, which greatly influenced and inspired young scientists at that time. 1953, Watson and Crick jointly put forward the double helix structure of DNA molecules, marking the development of biological science into the stage of molecular biology. In the double helix molecular structure of DNA, all the information of your life is encoded, so your future life behavior is the process of decoding this genetic code. Therefore, life has a destiny. When Schrodinger wrote what life is, he also said that life is not a blank sheet of paper, but comes to this world with a blueprint. However, after leaving this world, the karma of this life is added to the information program in this genetic code.
We return to this world with a new blueprint, so the length of life, health or not, the size of blessings, and the size of official positions in our world all have its original genetic code at work. Therefore, understanding these things is the dream phase produced in the illusory karma of our sentient beings. See if it's good or bad. Anyway, it is illusory, dreaming. However, although we are dreaming, we are trying to have a good dream, but you are a good dream, a dream, so we must put this desire in our minds and dissolve it.
Nowadays, many people are too obsessed with this and live too painfully. Let's compare it every day. Alas, there is no TV to watch. Now I have a 14 inch color TV, and others have a 24 inch color TV. Your heart is very unbalanced. You have to keep comparing. To compare, it is necessary to compare in all directions. When we are riding a donkey, it is of course unbalanced to watch others ride. Why is he riding a big horse? But you should also look back. There are people pushing carts in the back.
A sweaty cart is very hard. I am pushing a sweaty cart here, and I have to push these heavy things on foot. Seeing someone riding a donkey in front of him, he was also unbalanced, but he could look back and see a disabled person with crutches behind him. At this time, he should think that I can still have six complete ones, and I have to balance it in my heart. Sometimes our sense of happiness is often felt when we lose it. Alas, we don't cherish it! We are in good health these days, and it is normal not to cherish it. Once I got sick one day, for example, I suddenly had a waist flash last month, and I couldn't even bend my waist, so I felt I could bend over and bend. This is a kind of happiness! When I can't get up, I grin with pain when I move, and I feel really painful when I lose it.
Therefore, we should be grateful every day, thank God, and thank Buddha and Bodhisattva for their blessings, so that we can live without too much pain.
