China has accumulated a profound cultural charm of prosperity for five thousand years, and it contains unprecedented spiritual connotations, which have pointed out the direction for future generations to understand the world and transform nature and light up the lighthouse. Today I will discuss with you the profound connotation of the saying "Save a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda".

If you want to understand the meaning of "save a life, it is better to build a seven-level Buddhist temple", you must first understand what "Butu" is?

The so-called "Futu" is an Indian term, also called Sanskrit "Sutupo", also known as Futu. Later it was rewritten as " pagoda", which is a form of building in Buddhism, namely the so-called pagoda. This pagoda building was originally used to worship relics, Buddha bones, , etc., and later to worship Buddha statues and collect scriptures.

In pagoda buildings that worship relics or Buddha bones, they are all odd, generally one, three, five, seven, nine, etc. The more famous the Buddha practiced, the more layers of the pagoda were.

For example, after the death of Sakyamuni Buddha, there were only seven layers of pagodas that worshipped his relics in various countries. Therefore, people believed that no one in the world could surpass him anymore, so they regarded the seven-story pagoda as the highest pagoda in the Buddhist world, that is, the highest "pagoda" is the seventh floor.

Speaking of this, it is easier for everyone to understand the saying "Save a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda". That is, if you save a person's life, it is better than building a seven-level pagoda, which has immeasurable merits to persuade people to do good deeds.

In the Buddhist Tathagata Sutra "The Buddha's Speaks of Scolding" in the Buddhist Tathagata Sutra, the Buddha said: "It is better to live one person than to build a temple of hundreds of Buddhas. It is better to live one day when people live in the ten directions. If you have good intentions, your blessings will be difficult to measure."

"Journey to the West" Chapter 80 says: "Save a life is worse than building a seven-level pagoda. Go and save him quickly, it is better to go to the sutra and worship Buddha."

or above are all persuading people to be brave enough to save someone when they see that they are in danger of their lives. If you do such a good thing, you will definitely be blessed.

is in today's society, and it also advocates social trends such as bravery and mutual care. This is of great significance to a harmonious society, enhancing social civilization, and advocating social morality.
