What are the eight difficulties?

Question 1: What do you mean by the Eight Difficulties in Buddhism? The' eight difficulties' that hinder the understanding of Buddhism refer to the eight difficulties of not accepting Buddhism and not listening to it. It also makes eight difficult, eight difficult, eight flawless, eight idle, eight inappropriate, eight evil, and eight out of season. According to Nine Classics of Chang 'an and Twenty-nine Classics of Eight Difficulties of Zhong Ahan, the eight difficulties are as follows: (1) Being in hell, all beings feel trapped in hell because of their evil deeds, and suffer all night, without seeing Buddha or hearing Dharma. (2) Hungry ghosts are difficult. There are three kinds of hungry ghosts: (1) The heaviest hungry ghost in the industry is a robber who has not heard the name of water for a long time. (2) Hungry ghosts, the second most important in the industry, only seek to cleanse the purulent bloody stool in the world. (3) Hungry ghosts who go into battle lightly will be driven away with knives, guns and sticks when they are full, and the rivers and seas will be full and miserable. (3) When animals are in trouble, there are different kinds of animals, and there are also different reasons. Either they are raised by people or they live in mountains and seas, and they are often whipped and killed, or they devour each other, causing endless pain. (4) If you can't live long, you will be punished with five hundred robberies, that is, the day when you don't think in the fourth Zen. People who have no thoughts can't do it with their thoughts, such as ice fish stinging insects. There are many places for practicing heretics, but it's hard to see the Buddha, and it smells bad. (5) The harder the border area, the harder the place, and the harder the place, the translation is victory. People born here have lived for thousands of years, seeking pleasure and being uneducated. So they are not allowed to listen to the Buddha. (6) Being deaf and dumb is very uncomfortable. Although these people were born in China (referring to Mojito in the middle of ancient India), their karma is deep, deaf and dumb, and they have no roots. Although they were born in the Buddha, they could not see the teachings of the Buddha. (7) The wisdom of the world is hard to argue, saying that although it is clever, it is just learning foreign classics and not believing in Buddhism. (8) It is difficult to live before the Buddha, and it is difficult to live after the Buddha, indicating that the industry is heavy and life is thin. If you were born before and after the Buddha, you may not see the Buddha or hear the Dharma.

Question 4: What do you mean by "four or nine students, eight difficulties and three roads"?

It refers to the three realms, six roads and four kinds of beings.

1, oviparous: all beings hatched from eggs, such as chickens, snakes, fish and ants;

2, viviparous: born by the mother's fetus, such as people, elephants, horses, cows, donkeys and so on. ;

3. Humidity: It is produced by moisture in wet places such as feces accumulation, carrion and weeds, such as mold and mosquitoes;

4. Metaplasia: Those who have nothing to trust, such as all beings in heaven and hell, are transformed by their past karma.

Nine have:

It refers to nine places where all beings with desires, * * and no * * * live. The world of desire: five interesting mixed places;

* * *: Leave the happy place of life, settle down the happy place of life, leave the happy place and give up the clean place;

Nihility * * *: No space, no knowledge, no place, no place to think.

Because these nine places are the result of missing karma, they are called nine.

Eight difficulties:

It refers to eight dilemmas in which feelings can't meet Buddha and smell Buddhism.

1, hell is hard

2. Hungry ghosts are difficult to deal with

3. Wild animals are difficult to deal with

These three difficulties are endless sufferings. You can't see the Buddha or smell the Dharma.

4, longevity is difficult: with its extremely long life, or think that it is impossible, such as ice fish stinging insects, it is difficult to see the Buddha.

5. It is difficult to live without a Buddha: it is said that the industry is heavy and thin, and the Buddha is not allowed to see the Buddha before and after his life, and he is not allowed to smell the Dharma.

6. It is difficult not to be born in China: where there is Buddhism, it is called China; On the contrary, there is no place for Buddhism to spread in the border areas.

7. Six roots are not difficult: although these people were born in China and deserve to be Buddhas, they don't have all the roots and can't see the teachings of the Buddha.

8. It's hard to be born in Jaken: It is said that although he is smart and makes money, he only cares about learning foreign classics and doesn't believe in the born Buddhism.

Three ways:

It refers to the three evils of hell, hungry ghosts and wild animals.

Question 5: Introduction to Buddhism: What do you mean by three roads and eight difficulties?

1 Sanskrit as! t！ A^v AK rifle! Ann! a^h！ , Paliwen is here! t！ Huckham! a^。 Refers to the eight obstacles of not meeting Buddha and not listening to Dharma. It also makes eight difficult, eight difficult, eight flawless, eight idle, eight inappropriate, eight evil, and eight out of season. According to Nine Classics of Chang 'an and Twenty-nine Classics of Eight Difficulties of Zhong Ahan, the eight difficulties are as follows: (1) Being in hell, all beings feel trapped in hell because of their evil deeds, and suffer all night, without seeing Buddha or hearing Dharma.

(2) Hungry ghosts are difficult, and there are three types of hungry ghosts:

(1), the hungriest ghost in the industry, has a reputation of not smelling water.

(2) Hungry ghosts, the second most important in the industry, only seek to cleanse the purulent bloody stool in the world.

(3) Hungry ghosts who go into battle lightly will be driven away with knives, guns and sticks when they are full, and the rivers and seas will be full and miserable.

(3) When animals are in trouble, there are different kinds of animals, and there are also different reasons. Either they are raised by people or they live in mountains and seas, and they are often whipped and killed, or they devour each other, causing endless pain.

(4) it is difficult to live long. This day takes 500 robberies as its life, which is the day of no thinking in the fourth Zen. People who have no thoughts can't do it with their thoughts, such as ice fish stinging insects. There are many places for practicing heretics, but it's hard to see the Buddha, and it smells bad.

(5) The harder the border area, the harder the place, and the harder the place, the translation is victory. People born here have lived for thousands of years, seeking pleasure and being uneducated. So they are not allowed to listen to the Buddha.

(6) Being deaf and dumb is very uncomfortable. Although these people were born in China (referring to Mojito in the middle of ancient India), their karma is deep, deaf and dumb, and they have no roots. Although they were born in the Buddha, they could not see the teachings of the Buddha.

(7) The wisdom of the world is hard to argue, saying that although it is clever, it is just learning foreign classics and not believing in Buddhism.

(8) It is difficult to live before the Buddha, and it is difficult to live after the Buddha, indicating that the industry is heavy and life is thin. If you were born before and after the Buddha, you may not see the Buddha or hear the Dharma.

Three ways:

Blood road, knife road, fire road.

A threesome is about animals, hungry ghosts and hell. Most of the deaths of animals will bleed, so animals are called blood roads. Either being killed by someone or being killed by the other side, the law of the jungle. Now there are often animal wonders on TV. These animals kill each other. Ghost Dao is called Dao Dao, and ghost is timid. He has done many bad things, and he is always afraid that someone will hurt him, so he is called Daolu. Hell is a fire path, even if it is cold, there is fire. The Buddha said that almost all religions in the world say that there is fire in hell. So these three roads are blood road, knife road and fire road, which is the so-called three roads.

Question 6: What is the background of the seven difficulties and eight sufferings on earth mentioned by the Buddha? Most people who like the Japanese Warring States know that there is a character named shinya yamanaka. One of the most famous stories about Ishinosuke in the mountains is that he prayed to the new moon in order to revive his family, saying that he was willing to endure seven difficulties and eight hardships. However, on the Chinese Internet, I did a search and was surprised to find that most articles introducing shinya yamanaka mistook this word for seven difficulties and eight difficulties. So I think it is necessary to write an article to correct it. Seven difficulties and eight sufferings come from the concept of Buddhism. Although there are many numbers in Buddhism, it is difficult to remember, but the concept of seven difficulties and eight hardships may have been accidentally remembered as seven hardships and eight difficulties. But if you understand it deeply, it is not too difficult to remember. Eight bitter, in fact, only four bitter. We are all very familiar with this. Later, Buddhism felt that these four kinds of sufferings were not enough to sum up all the sufferings in the world, so it added four kinds: love parting, resentment and lofty aspirations. So it became eight bitterness. The bitter truth in life is summed up as four bitter and eight bitter in Chinese Han Jing, and this word (four bitter and eight bitter) is still a common word in Japanese at present. Knowing this, we can know that there are only eight pains and no seven pains. Buddha said: there are eight kinds of sufferings in life: "birth, old age, illness, death, resentment, love separation, ambition and prosperity." ; Buddha looks at life, and each of us is experiencing these hardships! ~ the first pain: life is the first of the seven pains, that is, living. "Life" is the foundation of all subsequent sufferings, and living is suffering. Just as axioms in geometry generally do not need to be proved. Second Bitterness: As time goes by, the energy, health and memory of the past are all in blowing in the wind, and the fear of getting old is becoming increasingly clear. The fear of "being old" is essentially a fear of "getting it and then watching it lose". People who have experienced simplicity have a relatively calm attitude towards old age, because life has not changed much and there is no need to lose it. The more energetic people are when they are young, the stronger their resistance to old age ―― once they have no energy, they don't want to taste the sweetness of memories quietly, so it is logical to bite their hearts all the time when they are lost. If you get old, your relatives, lovers and friends leave you one by one, and only one person is left behind, it will be really bitter. In Greek mythology, there was once a woman who was conceited of her outstanding weaving skills and declared that "Athena, the goddess of wisdom, could not weave such beautiful cloth". Athena became a mortal woman to compete with and win. The goddess then punished the woman for "immortality". Thousands of years later, this woman's relatives, friends and lovers all died, and she was too old to be like herself. She can only weave all day, and she has no strength to do anything else, so she becomes a spider. There is a similar legend in Indian mythology, except that someone prayed to God for immortality, but forgot to pray for immortality. The final result is similar. It can be seen that the fear of old age has always existed in all ethnic groups. Excerpted from the third bitterness of the network: the disease comes like a mountain. Although not many people have played boxing, the feeling of being suddenly knocked down has been experienced by all those who have been seriously ill. Yesterday, I struggled to pull the mountain out of the world, but today it is difficult to tie the chicken. If the disease is not fatal, it will be as painful as reeling. When you are sick, you can do nothing but sleep. But sleep is not infinite. When you sleep to a certain extent, you can only enjoy your illness with your eyes open. In addition to physical torture, the test of illness on the mind is also worth pondering. As the saying goes, "there is no dutiful son before a long bed." The filial piety of all virtues is likely to retreat before he gets sick, let alone other feelings. Generally speaking, the patient's mood will not be too good, sometimes giving people an inhuman feeling; If you are sick for a long time, most people have gradually become accustomed to it and are indifferent from the habit. Finally, they ignored the differences between patients and ordinary people. Therefore, the cold feeling before bed after a long illness is also different. Acute diseases test the body, chronic diseases test the mind, and minor diseases test patience ―― Ask friends who have rhinitis and migraine around you, and you will get a lot of helpless talk about how to deal with these minor terminal diseases. Some people like asking for trouble, so they always want to get sick, but even pain is not the most willful pain. The fourth kind of pain: the horror of death lies not in the process-this can be ignored-but in its irresistible. The only thing a man knows about his destiny is that he will die. Most people don't like death, and naturally they are afraid of its inescapable ultimate essence. The pain of death lies in knowing that there is a tiger in the mountains, so we can only walk on the mountains ―― even Song Wu can't beat the tiger. When people are no longer afraid of death, it will disappear as a feature of pain, and it can even be used as a kind of enjoyment ―― once an old couple went out, the old man ... >>

Question 7: What do you mean by "seven disasters and eight difficulties" in the Book of Changes? I checked the information and saw a word "three difficulties and eight difficulties", which appeared in A Dream of Red Mansions this time. According to the encyclopedia, the word has Buddhist annotations, as follows: Buddhism believes that the world is a catastrophe from formation to destruction, and it goes through four stages: "success, living, bad and empty". In the later period of "robbery", all beings acted strangely and their life expectancy was shortened, and then disasters such as famine, disease and sword soldiers occurred one after another, which was called "small three disasters". At the end of the "evil robbery", more terrible fires, floods and storms occurred, which were called "three major disasters". The last storm swept the world away, thus entering an "empty robbery". Song? Volume II of Guo's Painting Records records that at the end of the Tang Dynasty, Zhiyun and Shang had painted several "three disasters in disguise" walls in Fuxian Temple in Luoyang. "Eight difficulties" refers to eight situations in which it is difficult to practice when seeing Buddha: "One is hell, the other is beast, the third is hungry ghost, the fourth is deaf-mute, the five generations of discerning eyes, before and after the six Buddhas, the seventh is depressed and single, and the eighth is longevity." The first three difficulties are "three evil ways", plus "blindness and deafness", which is called "bitter barrier" "Yu Dan Yue Guo" is the northern continent among the four continents, which means "victory" and happiness without wisdom; People live long and have no wisdom. The above two kinds of difficulties are called "music obstacle" difficulties. In addition, those who are "wise and knowledgeable" are self-righteous, which is called the difficulty of "increasing evil"; Those who are "before the Buddha and behind the Buddha" can't see the Buddha and hear the Dharma, which is the so-called difficulty of "being good and hiding". Then I saw a word similar to "seven disasters and eight difficulties", that is, "seven sufferings and eight difficulties". This word also comes from Buddhism, that is, the seven sufferings of life: birth, old age, illness, death, resentment, love, separation and ambition. Eight difficulties are the explanations of the eight difficulties in the first three disasters. I think seven disasters and eight difficulties should be similar to these two words. I can only find these materials, I hope they are useful to you.

Question 8: What do you mean by inhumanity in the Eight Difficulties of Buddhism? Of the six ways, only one can listen, think and practice, and the others are "inhuman", and it is not easy to practice when suffering.

Hell is very bitter. You can't see Buddha or smell Dharma.

It is difficult to starve and endure great pain.

It is difficult and painful for animals.

It is difficult to live long, but it is difficult to see the Buddha and smell the Dharma.

Question 9: What are the "seven difficulties and eight difficulties" in life?

Most people who like the Japanese Warring States know that there is a man named Ishinosuke in the mountains. One of the most famous stories about Ishinosuke in the mountains is that he prayed to the new moon in order to revive his family, saying that he was willing to endure seven difficulties and eight hardships.

However, on the Chinese Internet, I did a search and was surprised to find that most articles introducing shinya yamanaka mistook this word for seven difficulties and eight difficulties. So I think it is necessary to write an article to correct it.

Seven difficulties and eight sufferings come from the concept of Buddhism. Although there are many numbers in Buddhism, it is difficult to remember, but the concept of seven difficulties and eight hardships may have been accidentally remembered as seven hardships and eight difficulties. But if you understand it deeply, it is not too difficult to remember.

Eight bitter, in fact, only four bitter. We are all very familiar with this. Later, Buddhism felt that these four kinds of sufferings were not enough to sum up all the sufferings in the world, so it added four kinds: love parting, resentment and lofty aspirations. So it became eight bitterness.

The bitter truth in life is summed up as four bitter and eight bitter in Chinese Han Jing, and this word (four bitter and eight bitter) is still a common word in Japanese at present. Knowing this, we can know that there are only eight pains and no seven pains.

Then let's talk about the seven difficulties. There are many sayings about the seven difficulties in Buddhism, which refer to all kinds of disasters. Specifically, that is to say, the sun and moon, stars, fire, rain, evil wind, hyperactivity of yang, evil thieves are hard to lose; It is also said that fire is difficult, water is difficult, Luo Cha is difficult, sword is difficult, ghosts are difficult, shackles are difficult, and thieves are difficult; It is also said that many people are hard to be infected by diseases, invaded by other countries, rebelled by their own borders, the stars become strange, the sun and the moon become thin, eclipsed and sad. The fourth argument is: it is difficult for kings, thieves, fire, water, Luo Cha, tea, ghosts and poison.

We are not Buddhists, so there is no need to delve into it. However, although we are not familiar with the seven difficulties, we are very familiar with its negative seven blessings.

The Buddhist scripture says: seven things are difficult to destroy, and seven things are good for life. Although there are seven blessings in Buddhist scriptures, they are not explained, which gives future generations room for imagination. According to this sentence, the Japanese created seven blessed gods: Huibishu, Daren, Pishamenton, Youcai, Bao, Fu Lushou and Shoulao. (There are also auspicious days and orangutans instead of Fu Lushou and Shoulao. )

Seven blessings correspond to seven kinds of blessings respectively, and the Japanese also have corresponding definitions of seven blessings: legal meaning (that is, incorruptibility), blessings, prestige, love of beauty, wealth, popularity and longevity.

As long as you remember that the seven difficulties are the opposite of the seven blessings, you will naturally not make mistakes into eight difficulties.

However, although there are no seven difficulties, there is also a saying about the eight difficulties.

There is also a saying in Buddhism, which is called three roads and eight difficulties. The three paths are the three samsaras we usually talk about: beast, hungry ghost and hell. Eight difficulties are eight obstacles that hinder the practice of Buddhism and Taoism. The content is "three roads plus longevity days, northern Luzhou, blind road, wisdom road, before and after Buddha".

Therefore, some people use the word "eight difficulties" to describe the disasters in the world, while others extend it to "hunger, thirst, cold and heat, fire, water and soldiers", but these usages are relatively rare.

Anyway, in Yamahara's article, Ishinosuke said, "Wish, me, seven difficulties and eight difficulties, and give", which is certain. And "seven difficulties and eight sufferings" is also a very common saying used to describe various disasters in Buddhism.
