What is the meaning of life? Why do you feel that life is meaningless and you suffer from negativity? Yue Ming Cang hai

Why do I feel that life is meaningless and I don't have the strength and heart to do anything, but at the same time I feel negative and painful for myself all day?

Master Jing Zong replied: I think life is meaningless. I think many people may have such an instant feeling. Some people last quite a long time; Some people are not like this for the time being because they are young and inexperienced, but they will definitely feel this way in the future; Some people already have this feeling, and then try to get rid of it, thinking that they have got rid of this mentality.

All this is to show that life should be meaningful, but we can't find the meaning of our troubled life, so we are miserable.

For example, living at home needs a house, but without a house, it is of course painful; Having health, but not having health, is of course painful; Money is also painful, and no money is also painful; We must have the respect of others and the love of the public, but without these, it will be very painful. This is a specific problem.

As far as life is concerned, the greatest stability of life is to establish the goal and meaning of life.

It is necessary to have the purpose and meaning of life, so that life is valuable and has a sense of direction, security and stability. But if we don't find these, we will certainly fall into the pain of persecution.

It is not necessarily a bad thing to think that life is meaningless. It shows that we have pursued and explored in life, but we haven't found the meaning of life yet.

People who can pursue, explore and feel this way have a certain depth.

Ordinary people have enough to eat and drink. The so-called eat drink man woman thinks such gangsters are enough. For them, there is no deep pursuit of life, no sense of powerlessness and meaninglessness.

This sense of powerlessness and meaninglessness, if pursued further, can enter Buddhism if guided by good deeds and good knowledge; Once you enter the Buddha, you can truly understand the purpose, value and significance of life, you will be complete, you will be enriched, and your life will be enriched.

Therefore, I hope and wish that you can pursue this issue again. Give you a goal to explore from Buddhism.

We see that there are often many great artists, philosophers, thinkers, some outstanding poets and writers in the world, and many of them have committed suicide. Why?

Because they are sensitive and think about life, they finally find that there is no answer and no meaning, so they can't live, and they would rather not live.

What I'm talking about here is deliberation, and not everyone will come to this step.

Then there are some people who dare not pursue it in this respect. If they fail to meet after pursuing Buddhism, they will be very painful because they have no answer.

So he took an evasive attitude, kept flowers and dogs, and wrote to escape this meaningless feeling.

Or some people think, "you see, I have artistic accomplishment, and I am already meaningful;" I am serving the public, and I am already very meaningful; I believe in a certain religion, I believe in the Lord, I rely on God, and I am meaningful. " To some extent, we also hope that their lives will be stable, at least temporarily, but these are not true.

He doesn't understand why white people are people, what is human life and the essence of human life, and of course it has no real meaning.

As I said just now, being able to settle down to some extent is a blessing, if not a real meaning.

There is no amitabha in the south.

Q: It is often said in Buddhism that life and death are important things. What exactly is a "matter of life and death"? How to solve it?

Master Jing Zong replied: Many things happen every day in the world. Because of our short-sightedness, we often regard trivial matters as major events.

The Infinite Life Sutra says that "the world is thin and vulgar, and * * * is not in a hurry. In this play, I am extremely bitter and diligent, and I am self-sufficient. "

Everyone thinks these are important events in life, such as having children, taking exams, working, having a successful career, and offering sacrifices to ancestors. This refers to ordinary people.

Some big entrepreneurs, politicians, diplomats and scientists think that the pollution of the earth's environment is a major event; The earth may be destroyed in the future, so it is a big deal to develop space and make immigration plans now. Now artificial intelligence is developing, which is a big deal.

However, all major events are not as important as life itself, such as the truth, essence and perfection of life.

Therefore, if the mystery of life and death is not solved, everything will be like a dream. In the dream, even if you make a fortune and lose money, it is meaningless to wake up.

The so-called "life and death" is a special proposition of Buddhism and the life proposition of all sentient beings.

①

That is, no matter what great events, everything is always in the cycle of life and death, which is the foundation. Any prosperity and happiness in the world is based on this.

If this foundation is not firm, Buddhism says that "life is short, and all actions are impermanent", like a building built on the beach; Building a building is very important. If the foundation is not laid well, won't it collapse? In any case, the world is unstable.

If we master the essence and fundamental meaning of life and the unshakable truth, then this is of course the most fundamental event.

②

"Life and death" is to solve the great distress of endless cycle of life and death, which is the fundamental purpose of being reborn as a human being.

It is human nature that makes it possible for you to solve this problem. People are smarter, can smell the law, and have a bittersweet taste.

If he enjoys himself too much, he will relax, just as heaven and man are too relaxed, he will not practice Buddhism, rarely.

If you are too agitated, you have no energy and brains, such as being a pig or other animal, you are stupid; If you are a hungry ghost, you will find food all day and suffer in hell every minute. How do you have time to practice?

Therefore, it is difficult to practice in the three evils of heaven.

Humanism has its advantages and advantages, such as strong memory, strong willpower and strong creativity. In addition, bitterness and joy alternate. Therefore, the human body is the most important Taoist treasure in the world.

If you can break through the shackles of life and death in this life like Guanyin Bodhisattva and be flexible, won't the great events in this life be completed?

So how to solve this great event?

It is almost impossible to solve the problem of eating and drinking Lazarus by yourself in this life.

Fortunately, there is pure land practice and there is no Amitabha in the south, which does not affect the so-called major events in this world. You still do it. As long as you sincerely hope to have a pure land and recite this Buddha's name in the morning and late at night, then you will have a bright life of Amitabha, and Buddha and Bodhisattva will greet you with lotus flowers at the end of your life. Once you reach the pure land, you will never be able to transcend the samsara and achieve supreme nirvana.

Buddhism not only points out that life is bitter, life and death are important, but also has solutions, including 84 thousand methods, but the simplest and most unique method is chanting Buddha.

This method can not only solve our own life and death, but also solve our parents, couples, fathers and sons, brothers and friends who are predestined friends with us. Just tell them that such a simple and easy way can solve life and death. What a good method.

The happiness of life and the truth of the universe lie in the words "there is no Amitabha in the south".

Q: There is no Amitabha in South China. What do people live for? Just to survive in Elysium? What is the meaning of life in this world?

Master Jing Zong replied: I think this question is very real, very powerful and profound.

What do people live for? Now so many people get depressed and jump off a building, how many people don't know why people are alive, and few people ask this question, because there is no answer, everyone is embarrassed to ask.

You ask him, "Why do people live?" He didn't know, "you go looking for trouble, why do you ask this? Make money! Read! " Most people don't ask these things, bypass them, ask them without an answer, and they are bored there.

But you asked, this question is to be asked. Then he asked: "Many Buddhists say that they die for the western paradise, is it just to survive in the paradise?" Is there any other purpose? If it's just to survive in the western paradise, what's the point of being busy with work and life? " I think people should consider the purpose of life, which shows that you are thinking about life and thinking deeply.

Perhaps everyone's answer is different, the answer of every religion in the world is different, and the answer of philosophers is different.

But I think there is a greatest common denominator, that is, everyone lives for happiness and happiness.

No matter what religion or person, no one has ever said "I live to pursue misfortune", right? It's all about pursuing happiness and happiness, which is no problem. This is the unanimous answer of everyone.

Next, we should consider: What is happiness and happiness? How can we achieve happiness and happiness?

①

In fact, people in this world are very greedy. For example, if you make a fortune, you earn 5 billion yuan and want 5 billion yuan. In short, everything will be extremely beautiful. In this way, your happiness and happiness will always be infinite and limited.

Thinking about your health, I still feel that living 120 years old is not enough. You want to live 150 years old. 150 years old, preferably 500 years old. When he became an emperor, he also wanted Dan medicine, such as Qin Shihuang and Han Wudi, and sent boys and girls to ask for Dan medicine. Why are they like this? It is also for the pursuit of happiness and happiness.

I became the master of the world. "When you people die, you die. I am the emperor. Can I die? " What shall we do? Find an alchemist and find an elixir of life. I think this is understandable, and I can't say that they are ignorant.

This is also a pursuit on behalf of mankind, always happy and happy, without obstacles.

Therefore, we should pursue happiness and happiness, and ultimately there is only one trend, that is, to achieve infinity.

Have you thought about it? As long as it is limited, it is impossible to be happy. Your health is limited, your wealth is limited, your ability is limited, and your wisdom is limited. How can I be happy?

Therefore, a person's pursuit of happiness and happiness, to achieve absolute security and perfection, must break through all limited obstacles, whether material or spiritual.

But how easy is it? In this case, various religions were born. Some people rely on religion to achieve this, saying, "God is infinite, and you are blessed by God."

Buddhism stresses practice and realizes that there is no life, forbearance, immortality and becoming a Buddha, which is of course boundless.

Say "very happy", if you are dying, can you be happy? Your life is limited, and you won't live long. Even if you are happy, your wife can't be happy, and you have regrets; Unfortunately, children can't be happy.

As the saying goes, we have love, even if it is realized, if we can't let others get the same complete happiness and happiness, we still regret it and remain incomplete.

Therefore, in order to achieve true and complete happiness, this goal, if guided correctly, will inevitably reach infinity, which is self-interested and altruistic.

②

Buddha is conscious, aware of others, aware of perfection. Self-awareness, complete wisdom, eliminating troubles; Realize others, get rid of their own troubles, help others reach a perfect situation, and he will get a perfect happiness and happiness.

Buddha talks about nirvana and always enjoys my purity. Buddha's life is infinite, and so is light. There is nothing in the universe that he doesn't understand.

If you are confused and ignorant about life in the universe, are you happy? You can't be happy if you don't understand this in your heart.

Therefore, starting from man's natural instinct to pursue happiness to the extreme, he will inevitably become a Buddha and reach an infinite realm-infinite light and infinite life.

This goal, as we mortals, is difficult to talk about. Its direction and goal determine that we should live in a paradise in the west. If you live in the western paradise, it is nirvana.

The name we read here is the name of infinite light and infinite life, so this is naturally completely consistent with the purpose of our life.

I think this is a reasonable conclusion. Of course, some people think that he has a way to achieve it by himself, and he doesn't necessarily need to live in the western paradise. This is the practice of the holy gate in Buddhism.

Some people may take other routes. He has no karma, no blessings, and no wisdom to choose Buddhism. He may have heard that God is the creator and depends on him. For the time being, he thinks so, but it is actually impossible.

Although as followers of Buddhism, we understand that this is an unrealistic route, but we also understand him. Personally, I think it is understandable that people have the right to choose in order to pursue truth, happiness and happiness.

It just shows that he hasn't enough wisdom and luck to choose the right route, but this choice is much more noble and solemn than those who don't choose, which is also the value and significance of his existence.

Man is willing to pursue infinity and happiness. He is working hard, and he will find this direction sooner or later. He will never find this direction if he doesn't work hard.

Believers, admirers and even some crooked people are also pursuing happiness. It's just that the direction and reason should be right. Some people took the road of committing crimes. His purpose was not to commit crimes, but to make more money. Then he was insatiable and went to prison.

Of course, this direction and method are obviously wrong. Others, such as doing good deeds and accumulating virtues, are of course good, but they are also untrue.

Only by establishing the purpose of life can our real life be meaningful; If the purpose of our life is not established, our real life is meaningless.

Just like when we walk, every step under our feet is meaningful, because we have a goal and a future. Our goal is clear, our future is bright, and the pace under our feet is meaningful, isn't it?

If you just wander around like a bug and don't know where to go, what's the point of it taking a step? It is the future that determines the meaning of the steps under your feet.

Life is the same. Once our goal of becoming a Buddha in the western paradise is determined, every step of our life is meaningful.

No matter what we do, even if we live at home like others, the meaning is different, because our goals and destination are different.
