Why do people call "Five Blessingg"?

The word "Five Blessingg" comes from The Book of Songs and Hong Fan. Now it has become a household word. Almost most people know the idiom "five blessings", but few people know what "Five Blessingg Five Blessingg" means. As for Five Blessingg's truth, few people understand it.

What the hell is Five Blessingg? According to the classic book Hong Fan, Five Blessingg in Five Blessingg was endowed with longevity, wealth, corning, virtue and a beautiful death.

Longevity' means that life is not premature and life is long.

"Wealth" means wealth and status.

Kangning' means good health and peace of mind.

Virtue is kindness, generosity and serenity.

"A good death" means knowing your death in advance. At the end of his life, he left this world peacefully and freely, without any disaster, physical illness or worries.

Second, there is no perfect happiness in the world.

Five Blessingg can form a happy life together, but it is not good to be apart. For example, some people live for a long time without happiness, some people are rich but in poor health, some people are worried about poverty, some people are rich but worried, some people are satisfied with living a poor and leisurely life, some people are poor but die a fair death, some people are rich but live for a long time, and finally they do not die of natural causes. There are too many circumstances in life, and Five Blessingg is complete. The rest is a fly in the ointment and a flawed blessing.

Why is Fu incomplete?

The bad situation in this life is the result of the bad karma we created in previous lives (including previous lives). For example, people who loved cruelty to animals in their previous lives or lives were sick in this life; Those who killed in the past will get short-lived bitter fruit in this life; People who were stingy in their previous lives or lives will be poor in this life; People who were arrogant in previous lives or previous lives are humble in this life; People who are excited and angry in their previous lives or lives are ugly in this life; Killing humans or other animals in a cruel way in the past or last life will lead to natural death in this life.

A long-lived and poor man is stingy with charity because he once loved animals; Rich and short-lived people kill animals because they love charity; Ugly and rich men used to be generous, but they easily lost their temper; People with dignified appearance and humble status are the result of forbearance and discipline in their previous lives and contempt for others. In a word, Five Blessingg has defects, mainly because he is not thorough in doing good deeds and accumulating virtue.

Five Blessingg is karma, and human karma depends on four laws: Heaven-the law of nature; Morality-the trial of human moral court; Law-a mandatory requirement that a person cannot violate; Yin law-judgment of the underworld.

In Five Blessingg, the most important thing is the fourth blessing-"the virtue of kindness". Kindness, generosity and quietness are the best' blessings', because virtue is the cause and root of happiness, and happiness is the result and expression of virtue. Only by doing good deeds at any time and accumulating virtue can we cultivate the other four blessings and make them grow continuously.

In Five Blessingg, the most important blessing is longevity. Without longevity, there will be no other blessings. The following list says the first blessing-"longevity"

Third, the mystery of life.

Since ancient times, life expectancy has always been a very mysterious problem. No one knows when death will meet us unless the yogi makes spiritual efforts. Maybe twenty years later, maybe next year, maybe today, maybe the next minute, car accidents, earthquakes, heart diseases and other accidents may happen at any time. It's really scary. Because all of us don't know when we are going to die, it is particularly appropriate to use the idiom' precarious' for us. In chapter 42, the Buddha warned his disciples to "do as you are told, only in the breathing room", which means that if you don't come in one breath, you will be isolated from the world. When you are alive, you should study hard, actively do good deeds and practice hard, so that you will not be as anxious as a crab when you are dying. Realizing the fact that life is impermanent is of great benefit to us, because people who realize that life is impermanent will no longer be dissolute and greedy. Realizing the impermanence of life is the beginning of wisdom.

Achievement in the world is not necessarily related to life and death.

Wealth, knowledge, status, beauty and life and death are mostly irrelevant. Even if wealth is like a prince, the world is like the sea, status is like a public official, and appearance is like a beauty, when disaster comes, you will still be in a hurry and die. If beautiful women and talented people can live long, there will be no saying that' beautiful women are unlucky since ancient times'. So don't be proud of your beautiful appearance.

We can't think that Yan Luowang is still sleeping just because he is young. We won't come to you so soon. Note: the deceased in the coffin is not necessarily an old man. On the journey of life, many people lie down before reaching the finish line. Therefore, the ancients were wary of us and said,' Don't wait until you are old to learn the Tao. Most solitary graves are young people.'

It is difficult to predict the time of death, some are stillborn and die before birth, and some babies die long after birth, with jaundice or hemophilia; Some children were killed by cars when they lived to be three or four years old; Some grew up and were accidentally killed or injured when they were young.

People can't despise others with wisdom, many people die because of wisdom. For example, when I was in primary school, there was a monitor named Ouyang next door who was the first in everything, but he died of pneumonia in the fifth grade of primary school. In the sixth grade, another high flyers named Liu died of a neck tumor.

With wealth and status, you can't be arrogant. You see, from the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Qing Dynasty, the average life expectancy of emperors in China was only in their thirties. American President Kennedy has status, talent and courage, but no one would have thought that he would die so early. Elvis Presley, who started as a singer, had a private jet, a theater and bodyguards, but died suddenly.

Believing in religion does not necessarily lead to longevity. For example, there is a young man in Pingtung who believes in Christianity and is very devout. He just graduated from college and was called by the Lord because of a plane crash. When I was a graduate student, there was a student in the Department of Enterprise Management named Tu Youyou. He believed in Buddhism and became the president of the Buddhist Association. Unfortunately, when he went to Coral Pond for an outing and waded across the river, he slipped and drowned. This is not because Buddhism is ineffective, but because his family is not good and he can't learn Buddhism, so he can't change his profession.

The purpose of quoting these real stories is to show that secular knowledge and skills can only solve small problems in life, but not big problems of life and death. All religions are committed to finding the answer to life and death, and the only one that can completely solve life and death is Buddhism. Believing in Christianity, Catholicism and Mormonism can ascend to heaven, but it is inseparable from the six divisions in the wheel of business. Although the teaching methods and principles of Buddhism are perfect, it is not enough to believe them. Only by constantly understanding and implementing them can we prove the eternal truth and truly solve the problem of life and death. We can't think that if we believe in Buddhism, terror won't come to us so soon, so we will be careless. We should know the fact that it is difficult to change jobs. Unless you have real kung fu in practicing Buddhism, you can live and die freely, and you are really sure about the problem of life and death. You must work hard and study hard, and you can't slack off at all.

Fourth, the reason and fate of longevity.

The length of life in this life is basically determined by the practice of previous lives. This is a constant, so smart fortune tellers can often calculate a person's life, but this constant is not a fixed number. The behavior in this life can change life, doing good can increase life span, and doing evil can reduce life span.

Reasons for longevity-kindness, compassion, loyalty and filial piety, gratitude, forbidding killing and releasing, stopping evil and cultivating good.

The fate of longevity-calm, not angry, regular life, regulating diet (not overeating), adequate nutrition, not overworking, etc.

Kindness and longevity

The length of life has nothing to do with wealth, status, common sense, beauty and ugliness. But it has a lot to do with compassion. As the saying goes, "Benevolent people live long". Exactly. Kind-hearted, tolerant of others will be rewarded. No life in the world can exist on its own. Every life is supported by many other factors, just like every point on the ball, it exists without the support of other points. Even a poor tramp is still supported by sunshine, air, water and land. The road he walked was built by others, and the caves, bridges and corners he lived in were also supported by nature and society. The most rudimentary food, clothing, housing and transportation can't be born by yourself. Without nature and the public, not a single cell in our body can exist. Others support themselves, but also support others. This is heaven, that is, Farr's natural law. Heaven does not allow selfishness. People can get their share of support, but there is no selfish reason. Benevolent people who conform to heaven can increase their happiness and prolong their life, while selfish people who violate heaven can decrease their happiness and shorten their life.

(2) Loyalty, filial piety and longevity

Loyalty and filial piety are the foundation of protecting life and ensuring the smooth passage of life. Our life consists of two parts: material and spiritual. Matter comes from heaven and earth, and spirit comes from gods. The god of heaven and earth is embodied in the place where each of us was born, grew up and lived. Therefore, it is impossible for a country or a nation to do things that harm the earth and all mankind. And individuals can't do anything that harms the interests of the country and the nation. Hometown is the source of our life energy, and ancestors and parents are the channels for the transmission of life energy. Therefore, loyalty and filial piety are the lifeblood and life channel to protect us. Without loyalty and filial piety, the energy of life is insufficient. Completely disloyal and unfilial, it becomes a rootless branch and can only live by the residual energy in the branch. Filial piety is to cut off one's own life root, and infidelity is to cut off everyone's life root, so the crime of infidelity is far greater than unfilial, which is why most people have chosen loyalty since ancient times when loyalty and filial piety cannot be satisfactory; Traitors and traitors are often punished the most severely. When people don't know what to do, protectors will pursue it, and traitors rarely come to a good end.

(3) Gratitude and longevity

There are about four people in this world: 1. Where there is no kindness, there is kindness. 2. Where there is kindness, there is kindness. 3. Where there is no kindness, there is no kindness. 4. Where there is kindness, there is no kindness.

In other words:

1. Where we shouldn't be grateful, everyone knows that there is something to be grateful for, and we are grateful. Such people will not die in a damn place, but will live in a place where they can't live. This kind of person who can repay kindness and gratitude is a first-class person and a man of practice. Where no one can see him, he can still see God. Where no one can be safe and blessed, he will still be safe and blessed.

Where we should be grateful, we know that we should be grateful. Such people are ordinary people, but few. It is inferior. Such people live where they can live and will not die where they will not die.

3. We are not grateful where we should not be grateful. Such a person will not live where he shouldn't live, but will die in a damn place. There can be no miracles or miracles. This is the third class.

I don't know where I should be grateful. Such people are inferior, just like animals, but worse than dogs. Such a person will not live where he should live, but will die where he should not die.

(4) No killing, release and life.

According to the principle of behavioral response, banning killing and releasing will increase life expectancy, and vice versa.

Definition of homicide:

1. Killing for life: killing living things, making the living animals and plants lose their precious lives.

2. Deprive others of their lives: Deprive others of opportunities or jobs on which to make a living.

3, cut off the road of life: make people or animals have no way to go and fall into death, such as blocking ant holes. Or bargain, making people bankrupt and unable to support their families.

4. Pushing people to a dead end: or words, or physical behaviors, make people stimulated or seriously hurt, and can't live.

5. Grab other people's business; When buying and selling, do whatever it takes to make other people's business fall into their own hands.

6. Stealing relief funds: serving public office, stealing public funds to relieve suffering, so that people waiting for relief lose relief.

(5) Stop evil deeds, be a good person and live a long life.

Good gives birth to yang, evil gives birth to yin, and yang naturally lives long.

Remember: you don't have to spend all your blessings and you won't die young.

Fu Lushou and his children are both agricultural products. They have to shed blood, shed tears and sweat to cultivate their hearts, and they have to work hard to irrigate, fertilize, repel insects and weed before they can cultivate and plant.

Never do anything that harms your happiness and shortens your life.

Don't be a stranger, don't do heartless things, lest you be cornered.

Everyone will inevitably make mistakes, but don't let your temporary confusion become a heavy burden and burden that you can't get rid of all your life. When everything becomes new, we are reborn and resurrected.

Everyone will inevitably ask for forgiveness, and helping others is also helping themselves, because God always decides how to forgive us according to how we forgive others.

Let the other person live a long life, and you will live a long life. If you want to live a long life, you must not do short-lived things.
