He was imprisoned for 34 years, had a throat chain, and had 1,000 corpses thrown away...

source | Zhang Shisan said ( ID:zhang13shuo) 01 Recently, a video really made me cry. In the video, a little monkey led by a monkey-shower suddenly stopped beside a child during the performance. It approached carefully, grabbed the bracelet on the child's hand, and pulled it down hard, trying to help him break free. Immediately afterwards, the little monkey raised his head, pointed at the chains around his neck with his fingers, and looked at the child beggingly. “Are you trapped, too?Look at the chain around my neck, it is thicker than yours.” It thought that this child, like himself, was imprisoned in the same fate and was a slave tied with a chain. It can't escape, but it really wants to save the child. In fact, we all know that the child is wearing a silver bracelet of blessing on his hands, and the shackles on his neck are the shackles for life. How could humans be willing to lock themselves in a heavy chain? What humans enjoy more is to dominate the lives of other species.
Many times, I see human nature in animals, but in human beings, I see animal nature. Remember the killer whale that was imprisoned for sperm Tilikum Is it? To hunt orcas, people would sit in fishing boats, hold forks tied with ropes, block them into a narrow bay, use planes to patrol over the air, and even throw bombs into the water. The fishing team likes to pick young whales, and the reason is very simple: the freight is cheap and more obedient. Many young whales are already bleeding profusely during their pursuit. How can I exchange money for injuries? It's a hindrance to put it on the boat. The fishing team simply peeled off their stomachs alive, filled them with stones, and threw them back into the sea to let them sink by themselves. Want to escape?The front is full of land, the back is full of harpoons, and the top of the head is full of monitoring your planes. Whether you can survive is a question. Tilikum It was caught in the aquarium like this, when it was only two years old. It once had an entire ocean, but was trapped in a cage with a water depth of less than 10 meters. Tilikum There are 8 performances every day, one hour each, 7 days a week, and you must stay excited every minute. If you perform poorly during the day, you will have no food to eat. When you return to the cage at night, you will be attacked by other whales. The next day you will go to amuse the audience with your injuries. later Tilikum I became more and more depressed and often chewed on the guardrail. Even so, I didn't get a trace of sympathy. Instead, I was injected with a lot of contraceptives and sedatives, and forced to make money. After being tortured for a few years, Tilikum His temper became increasingly irritable and he couldn't continue to perform. But it is not that easy for it to end it all.Can't swim anymore?You have to continue making money even if you lie down. The aquarium continues to be imprisoned Tilikum, Take away its sperm manually regularly to cultivate more money-making tools. exist Tilikum36 When I was aged, it left forever due to gastric ulcers, lung infections, depression... Tilikum He was imprisoned for 34 years, while the average age of wild killer whales is between 80 and 90 years old. Not only did it not live well, it could not even have it died decently. Animals are not born with acting talent, nor are they unable to perceive pain. Can't refuse mean agreeing, and not being able to speak means happiness?Why? Can you trample your life with a knife in your hand, and can you lock your life with money in your pocket?Why? 02 Three years ago, a documentary called "Black Elephant" attracted the attention of the people across the country. Elephants are a very small number of animals that are freely conscious and dependent on their mothers, just like humans. Female elephants will never be willing to separate from their mothers for the rest of their lives, while male elephants will live independently only when they are teenagers. But tourists have to watch performances and merchants have to make money. Who would pity them? After the baby elephant is caught, she will be tied up with iron chains and stuffed into a wooden cage, standing day and night. Want to bend your legs?If found, you will be stabbed by a sharp spear, which will lead to the head, neck and ears;Intimidated by electric shock sticks. Want to sleep?Then nail the feet all over the nails. The wounds that tear them after the nails are removed will keep them awake. Elephants have a memory that is far greater than humans, and the hippocampus that controls emotions is 50% higher than that of humans. These pains, as long as they live, will be recalled over and over again. What we see is that they will roll up their brushes with their noses, draw beautiful small trees and flowers, and draw a happy family of three. But what we don't know is that the elephant's nose is covered with nerve endings, and those brushes are forced into it with crossed sticks. The elephant looks thick in skin and flesh, but can sensitively sense mosquito bites. Even if it is large, its fragile spine cannot bear the weight of two adults. But even so, they still have to carry metal seats and two or three tourists on their backs every day, walking around the cheers of everyone. There are thousands of ways to enjoy happiness, and the most hateful one is at the cost of the blood and tears of animals. Last year alone, more than a thousand sharks were trapped by fishing nets and leftover garbage. I never think eating shark fins is so noble. After those fish are cut off, they are like humans losing their arms. They sank helplessly into the seabed with two blood holes, watching themselves being eaten by other fish, but they were powerless. We all know that bullfighting competitions are very passionate, but that's because they are tightened by belts. Jumping up and down is not because they are so painful. Baby bears stand and play with balls and jump ropes, looking so cute that we actually forgot that they were reptile animals. The young bear was pulled out of its claws one by one, tied its neck with iron chains, and learned to walk upright while suffocating. Brand-name leather bags look very high-end, right? But that means that countless animals have to face the fate of being skinned. A steel needle more than one meter long runs from the head to the spine and straight to the tail. The more complete the skin is, the more valuable it is. Gao Xiaosong said: "Humans are the most special species in the world.But when survival is within reach, we forget that we are just one of these thousands of species.” Everything in the world really has a cycle of cause and effect, and human beings will eventually pay for their own desires. Isn’t it a self-rescue for humans to save nature?03 We are not the only life on earth. Human life and natural life are linked together. Do you remember the wildfires caused by climate deterioration at the beginning of the year? 5000Tens of thousands of mammals, 62 million birds, and 389 million reptiles were killed, and millions of people were threatened with life. It takes 100 years to absorb the carbon dioxide released by wildfires. Residents are forced to smoke 6 second-hand smokes every day, and many people die due to aggravated respiratory illness. Global warming, large areas of low-lying land are flooded, more typhoons have increased, floods and disasters have endangered the lives of more people, and Antarctica is even more a red sea. A large-scale locust plague broke out, and all the crops that were planted with hard work were destroyed. I don’t know when the next time I had enough food and clothing. The virus invasion has led us to wear masks now. If we are not careful, it will be forever separated from heaven and man. We are always in control of nature and dominating the world.But when our own lives are controlled, we realize that we are so helpless and confused. The simplicity of the great way is the law of the development of all things in the universe, the essence of Chinese culture, the philosophy of Chinese Taoism, and the great truth is extremely simple, so simple that it can be explained in one or two sentences.The so-called "true transmission is one sentence, false transmission is ten thousand books.""The beginning of all things, the great way is simple, and the evolution is complex" comes from Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching".The great way is simple, not only is it valued by philosophical schools Taoism, Confucianism, etc., but it is also a state of life in life. The great way is simple, the great way is invisible, and the great way cannot be. This is a state of advanced merit of naturalness and returning to simplicity.In this state of pure and inaction, selflessness, and unity of man and nature, if you do not seek to achieve success, your skills will naturally grow;If you do not seek treatment, your body and mind will naturally adjust;If you do not seek functions, the functions will appear naturally;If you do not seek the world of big and small, the meridians will naturally be unobstructed. The most profound truth is the simplest and most ordinary truth.Turning the most complex into the simplest is the most clever one.The greatest man appears noble only because of simplicity. The way is simple, and life is simple.Enlightenment, when you are profound, it is simple, and when you are simple, it is profound. From seeing a mountain as a mountain, to seeing a mountain as a mountain, the realm is different, from simple to complex, and then from complex to simple, it is sublimation.The meaning of life lies in simplicity. When a person practices to a certain level, he will be indifferent to some things and will be simple. You can understand others, but others may not necessarily understand you. In fact, people do not understand but agree with them. Be proficient in the heart and simplify in the body.Torturing the soul is the ultimate question for human beings. Simplicity is not only a kind of ultimate beauty, but also a kind of ability and a realm.If you see through it and don’t say it thoroughly, you will have a high level;Look hazy and heart-wrenching;To understand or not, to know or not, to deliberately not see through, to be thorough;Knowing that things in the world cannot be seen through is that they are thorough. If you understand them, you will not understand them after understanding them. It is rare to be confused. “The most simple way is the wisdom of being a human being. To be a human being, to turn a complex thing into simplicity, that requires wisdom.To return complicated things to simplicity, you need wisdom, ability, and determination.Wise people like the simplicity of the great way, so they should not flock to their achievements and benefits;Fame and wealth cannot be burdened by it.Be indifferent to show your ambitions, and be quiet to achieve far-reaching results.We must be simple, do things steadily, and use wisdom to simplify difficulties. Sending favors and humiliation for fame and fortune is pure like the innocent virginity of childhood, and simple as the fertile soil cultivated by my fathers. Only those who are in a calm mood can see the leisurely "the setting sun shines on the ruins, and the cows and sheep return home in the poor alley", listen to the sound of nature of "the lotus wind sends autumn air, and the bamboo dew drops clear sound", and feel the emptiness of "the empty mountains are not seen, but people are heard."Tao Yuanming is such a person, so he was able to recite the quatrain "Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, leisurely seeing the southern mountains";Ouyang Xiu was also such a person, so he could still write "The Drunken Old Man's Pavilion" leisurely when he was exiled. The way is simple, and life is simple.Simplicity is not material poverty, but spiritual freedom;Simplicity is not the emptiness of life, but the simplicity of the soul.The highest truth is that the truth is simple is often the simplest. People should learn to live simple, simple, act simple, let go of their own selfish thoughts, and go beyond the cage of their own desires, and truly forget their thoughts, forget their consciousness, and enter a state of forgetting oneself and forgetting things. The complexity of life comes from confusion, and use "benevolence" to resist temptation and use "wisdom" to relieve confusion.Not confused is the sign of life from complexity to simple.There are three thousand weak waters, and I only take one scoop of drinks;There are all kinds of life, and we must end up together.Be happy to forget your worries, and keep your truth simple is the "simplest way" of life. There is a story about the simplest way and the ordinary mind is the Tao: a practitioner asked the old Taoist priest: "What did you do before you attain enlightenment?"The old Taoist priest: "Chop wood, carry water, cook.""The practitioner asked, "What about the after you achieve enlightenment?"The old Taoist priest: "Chop wood, carry water, cook.""The practitioner asked again: "What is enlightenment?"The old Taoist priest: "Before he achieved enlightenment, he was thinking about carrying water when chopping wood, and thinking about cooking when carrying water;After achieving enlightenment, chop wood as soon as you chop wood, carry water as you carry water, and cook as you cook."The dialogue between the old Taoist priest and the practitioner enlightens us, and many of the highest and profound truths are contained in some extremely simple thoughts. The way is simple, life is simple.A thousand people have a thousand ways of living and life. After walking through the years and life, they have many feelings in their hearts, let go of everything and be at ease;Let go of the moment and be at ease now. Many problems in life do not need to be kept in mind, and many burdens in life do not need to be carried on your shoulders.Only by letting go of one thought can you feel the joy of a simple life and the pleasure of the flying heart.If you want to change something, you must first find yourself back.We all have potential energy, but it is easy to be covered by habits, blurred by time, and consumed by inertia.We should remember what we should remember, forget what we should forget, change what we can change, and accept what we cannot change.We must face the past with the least regret, face the present with the least waste, and face the future with the most dreams. The way of heaven and earth is simple.Life is short, don’t want to be too complicated, just live a simple life.Once the drama of life begins, no matter how stage frightened you are, you have to end the drama.The biggest challenge in the process of growing up is that some sections of the road can only walk quietly by themselves. Happy work and simple life are the happy life. People must know how to be content and always be happy. All sadness, pain, and all things that cannot be given up are just a transition in life. If you skip it, you can become more exciting. The best life is a simple life, a cup of tea, a table, a quiet place, a dull life, and no distractions.But a simple life requires all kinds of efforts, so that you can enjoy life with carefree and happy care.Life is generally perfect, and what is imperfect is the mentality. People who don’t know how to appreciate will use pickiness to make everything incomplete.Be simple, act naturally, grasp the right position, follow the circumstances, and accept reality calmly;Do things simply, do not cause trouble, do not cause trouble, do not be afraid of trouble, do not regret, do not complain, and do not hesitate to what you do. Life is a long confrontation, some people laugh at the beginning, while others win at the end.Try to smile, try to look back, relax yourself, not force, not be listless, or impetuous.A simple life, follow your heart, be at will, be as you like, be content, smile, be calm, and be calm. No matter how hard or tired you are, as long as you keep moving forward, your own scenery will eventually appear. Whether life is easy depends on how you live.The situation lies in the state of mind. If the state of mind changes, the situation will also change.The more you want life, the more nervous and complicated you will become, and the less easy it will be.On the contrary, the less you ask for life, the easier it is to satisfy and be happy.The bright moon in the mountains is originally the master of the unpredictable, and if you have time, you are the master;The great way is simple. If you live in the present, you will be happy when you are content. Enlightenment into the state of tranquility without any worries, the moon of the mind is bright, and the state of tranquility is fully revealed;A calm mind will naturally be calm and free, and a happy life will be like water to smile in life, which will further reveal the charm of a calm mind.In life, dullness is the truest, silence is the most beautiful, and the lasting thing in life is not prosperity, but dullness, not excitement but joy.Keep a childlike heart. When you are unhappy, tell your friends about your worries without any restraint. When you are happy, laugh unscrupulously. Perhaps all the sorrows will flow away in the conversation, and all the tension will be released in the laughter.Like a child, live a simple life, live happily, keep the original mind, everything is beautiful. There is always a story in life that I want to tell but it is difficult to speak. In this way, it gradually composed into a song in my heart.This is how people are. They always yearn for what they cannot get, and only those who lose will feel precious.The so-called gains and losses, love, scenery, and stations are all slowly dissipated in the dust of time.Although it is difficult to let go of some things, things that do not belong to you will eventually go far. A person’s life is destined to experience a lot.On the road of the world, there are laughter, tears of grievance, ignorant persistence, confidence in success, and alertness of failure. Every experience is destined to be precious.The richness of life is due to the compassion of the heart, the beauty of life is due to having a normal heart, simple life makes people relaxed and happy, and simple ideas make people peaceful and peaceful.Because of simplicity, we can deeply understand the lightness of life, and because of simplicity, we can deeply understand the quietness of the soul.The most wonderful sutra The Dharma taught by the Buddha did not exceed these five times and eight teachings. After the Buddha became a Buddha, he preached for forty-nine years and gave more than 300 lectures, which was entirely for the Lotus Sutra.The Buddha just started talking about the Great Avatamsaka Sutra, and people with Hinayana cannot accept it;In the future, the Buddha would "hide the big and show the small", and would not talk about profound theories, but to talk about very simple principles. This is "Agama".In order to lead the two vehicles to make a wish, it is said to "Agama";Then let’s talk about “Fang Huan”, which is step by step.After "Fangshu", he said "Prajna" and taught life wisdom;Only by having wisdom can one obtain and reach the stage of the wonderful Dharma of the Lotus Sutra, and only by hearing the Lotus Sutra. However, this Lotus Sutra is the most rare to hear and most difficult to encounter;When Shakyamuni Buddha said the Lotus Sutra at that time, five thousand monks heard the Buddha’s teachings, “This is too unbelievable!Too unreliable!"They stood up and left, leaving the seat and stopped listening."Five thousand withdrawals", you can calculate that five thousand disciples ran away at that time, so this sutra is not easy to believe. The Buddha said, "Stop!end!end!"I said three "stop", what should I stop?"Don't stop, it's hard to think about my Dharma." The Buddha said, "I won't talk, I won't talk, I won't talk, I won't talk, I won't talk, I won't talk about the Lotus Sutra anymore!"Why?My Lotus Sutra is so wonderful!It is hard to think and it is hard to believe.I'd better not say it, I won't say it anymore, don't say it anymore!"But Venerable Shariputra must ask Shakyamuni Buddha to speak the Lotus Sutra.Sakyamuni Buddha worked hard for decades, and was preparing to speak the Lotus Sutra for the wonderful principles of the perfect teaching and reality of the Lotus Sutra, and then he said "Agama", "Classics, etc.", and "Prajna";The Dharma Assembly I mentioned before was paving the way for the Lotus Sutra, which is called "the right to implement".It seems that the road is being repaired and prepared to go to New York, or to Washington, United States, Beijing and Beijing.When the road was first built, I went to Washington, Beijing;After many years of cultivation, I arrived in the U.S., Beijing, Washington.But even though the road has been built, some people are unwilling to go to that place and say, "If you are willing to build this road, you are practicing it."I won't go!I can't go there!"So the "five thousand withdrawals" are the same.Now let’s talk about this Lotus Sutra. This is really the entire Three Thousand Great Thousand Worlds, and all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the ten directions are particularly happy.We who study Buddhism must take a break from our busy schedule and listen to this Buddhism in our busy schedule. This is the most wonderful sutra. If we miss this most wonderful sutra, we will not be able to obtain this wonderful method;If you don’t get the “wonderfulness”, it will become bad.So we all don’t want to be bad, we need to find this “wonderful”.Then if you want to find the word "如", you must make some hard work and take a break from your busy schedule with a firm heart to study this wonderful method;Therefore, we must have a strong mind to understand this wonderful method.【Editor's Notes] Quoted from "The Wonderful Mahayana Dharma"A brief explanation of the Lotus SutraMaster XuanhuaspeakDescription)Listen to the Lotus Sutra onceThen your wisdom will be incredible in the next life If you uphold the 84,000 Dharmakaya and the twelve sutras, you will give a speech to others: Suppose you uphold all the 84,000 Dharmakaya and the 84,000 Dharmakaya and the 84,000 Dharmakaya and the 84,000 Dharmakaya and the twelve sutras to others.The twelve sutras are: He will chant and give a prophecy in his long journey, and he will speak without asking.The metaphor of cause and condition and ability, which has never been found in this life.The discussions were composed of twelve sections, and the thirty-three major discussions were recorded extensively. All listeners will obtain the six supernatural powers: to enable all those who listen to the sutra to obtain the six supernatural powers: the ability to understand the heavenly eyes, the ability to understand the heavenly ears, the ability to understand the other mind, the ability to achieve fate, the ability to completely defile, and the ability to achieve the divine feet.Even if you can do this, you will not be embarrassed: Even if you can do this, it is not a difficult thing, and it is easy to do. After I was destroyed, I heard this sutra and asked about its meaning and interests. This would be difficult: after I died, if anyone could hear this Lotus Sutra and ask about the principles of the Lotus Sutra, its purpose and sect, this would be a very difficult thing. Think about it, now you listen to the Lotus Sutra, but you are not here to listen to the sutra;This is the most difficult thing for you to listen to the sutras. You should not miss this opportunity, you should listen to the Lotus Sutra!When I hadn’t talked about the scriptures before, I wouldn’t tell you this “difficulty”;Whether it is difficult to listen to the Lotus Sutra, you have to think about it yourself.Now that I talk about this article, I will tell you that it is the most difficult thing to have the opportunity to listen to the Lotus Sutra.Don’t talk about us ordinary people, the clones of Tathagata and Shakyamuni Buddha, who all came to listen to the Lotus Sutra. If you listen to the Lotus Sutra once, your wisdom will be incredible in the next life. Why are you so stupid now?Why are you so angry now?Why do you have so many obstacles now?Why do you have so many delusions?This is because you have never heard of the Lotus Sutra!I have heard of it, you have heard it once, twice, or missed a lot of opportunities, so there are still so many obstacles now.After you listen to the Lotus Sutra now, remember not to miss it once. You can listen even if you understand it, and you can listen even if you don’t understand it.Because I understand, you might as well know more;I don't understand, I must understand.So don’t miss it, it’s more valuable than picking up a million taels of gold a day!
