What is the meaning of living in this life? What exactly do we want to do? People of different levels must have different answers. People usually yearn for wealth, status, and respect. In the journey of life, many uncertain factors will appear. The final result may not be as you wish, but if you can make sincere efforts and persevere to the end, the result will definitely not disappoint you too much.
Buddha said that life is suffering. Everyone will experience the " Eight Sufferings " throughout their life, namely: birth, old age, illness, death, love and separation, hatred and meeting, seeking and not getting to know, and the five aggregates are blazing. No matter what age or qualifications you are, as long as you are alone, you have to experience these kinds of sufferings.
The cycle of birth, old age, sickness and death cannot escape. In life, our expectations may not come true. We hope to be with our dear, but we always have to separate for various reasons.
Because we are obsessed with ourselves, we always think that our ideas, opinions, and practices are correct. Others must follow their own. If they like, they will be together. If they want more, they will be more disgusted. They will be too disgusted. They will have long avoided it because there is a distinction between love and hate, and they will also have a lot of troubles.
And the "five aggregates" are " Five aggregates ", form, feeling, thinking, actions, consciousness, everything you see, hear, feel, think, act in your mind, acts made, thoughts deep in your consciousness, etc., you will become attached to them and are reluctant to let go, which results in the previous " Seven Suffering ".
If we can think from the opposite side, when you let go of these persistences, distinctions, and there are no so many desires and delusions in your heart, you will also get real happiness. Whether life is suffering or happiness seems to be two extremes, but in fact it can be achieved only in one thought.
A thought of attachment and discrimination, and a variety of emotions such as love and hate are produced. If you let go of your thoughts and have a pure thought, you will gain freedom and happiness. If you can be your own master, you can observe your thoughts and moves carefully and constantly train yourself to control it well and not allow it to change with the external environment, and you will get closer and closer to the Tao.
The so-called letting go and purity are of course not to do nothing or pursue nothing, but to know clearly what you are doing, where the end is, and where you have achieved it. You are experiencing every process and clearly aware of it, but you don’t have so many delusions and emotions. At this time, you will gradually understand the true meaning of life and the meaning of life.
