Greek philosophy has also embodied the concept of echoing with the immortality of the Buddhist soul. Plato once said: "The soul is immortal, and the soul will not steal any piece of flesh, because the soul does not actively cooperate with the flesh throughout its life., Instead, it avoids the body, has been focused on itself, and has continued to practice, its true meaning is to practice calm and die, ｏｒ can also be called the practice of death. Socrates also said to those who opposed him: "Is the world you live in good, ｏｒ is the world I'm going to go to good? It's hard to tell you apart. "He believes in an eternal and beautiful world, so he is not afraid of death. When Buddhism believes in the immortality of the soul, unlike Western philosophy, it believes that the soul can be transformed. Its fate is determined by his performance of good and evil in his life, and according to the six rounds of return. Therefore, the Buddhist culture of life and death guides people to practice good practice when they are alive. After death, they can go to the happy world and get Nirvana. Buddhist classics are vast and profound. The characters such as Sun Wukong and Pigs, which are popular among the people in China, come from the classic "Journey to the West". The prototype of the story is also taken from Master Tangzhaogaosengxuanzang to India. However, Buddhism also has many simple and simple stories that reflect the teachings of Buddhism through the legend of life and death. Manjusri is one of the four Bodhisattvas and is in charge of wisdom. A layman wanted to see Manjusri, chose a auspicious day, set up a diet, and set up a tall seat, placed in the first place, waiting for Manjusri Bodhisattva. As a result, after the banquet began, there was an old man who was dirty and ugly. He walked to the high chair and sat there like no one. The layman looked very angry and immediately drove him down. And the old man was cast out, and sat down again, and was driven down again seven times. After the banquet was over, the layman went to the Buddhist temple to burn incense and once again sincerely worshipped the festival, hoping to see Manjusri as soon as possible. As a result, the layman dreamed of a voice saying to him that night: "How can you not know Manjusri? You 've sent Manjusri away seven times today. The way of Manjusri Bodhisattva is in the spirit of equality, so he specifically asked if you can treat people with equality. How can you see Manjusri like this? "This story emphasizes the" equality of all beings "in Buddhism. Only such equality can we understand the knowledge of good and further see that life and death are also equal. Even life and death can be broken with an equal heart, let alone a snobbery about poverty! According to the "Miscellaneous Words", once there was a virtuous person who believed in the Buddha all his life and later suffered serious illness and died. His wife is extremely sad and can not extricate himself for a long time. He often uses many foods to provide food. The sage saw this situation in heaven and felt too stupid and deeply pity. Therefore, it turned into a shepherd boy and fed the cattle in the field. Suddenly the cow suddenly fell to the ground and died. The shepherd boy suddenly cried and still fed the cows to eat grass. This caused many people to watch and laughed that he was too stupid. The cows were already dead. How to feed grass? Why so sad? At this time, the wife and children of the sage also heard the news. The shepherd boy replied, He is not stupid. Although the cow is dead, he still sees the cow. However, this sage has long since died, the remains have been buried in the ground, the wife is still to worship, but also so sad, can the dead bones can know? The wife and children of the sage were immediately spotted and freed from mourning. This story reminds people that it is the right way to commemorate their ancestors that they should break away from depression and sadness as soon as possible and actively practice Buddhism and do good deeds. There is a story in the "Six Degrees Collection". When the Buddha was doing the Bodhisattva, he had a quiet meditation. Suddenly, he ran into a scorpion inside his clothes. The Buddha caught the scorpion, but the heart was sad and did not pinch. It was gently placed on the bone next to it. As a result, the lice were full and ate on the bones for seven days. After seven days, the lice died. After many generations, Bodhisattva became a Buddha. Once he led his disciples to preach, he encountered heavy snow. In the snow, there was no family at all. At this time, suddenly saw a courtyard, an elderly person waiting for the ｇｒａｎｔ, and for the Buddha and all disciples to provide warm grants. The end of the seventh day, the snow has not stopped, the Buddha insisted on leaving. When he returned to the house, the disciple was puzzled. The Buddha sent Ananda back to the original courtyard. As a result, even the servants were arrogant and completely different. Ananda asked Buddha, why is this so? The Buddha replied that because this was originally an elderly person, he devoted himself to the seven days of grace; After seven days, the gratitude has been settled, and naturally there is no original attitude. The disciples suddenly realized. This story shows the reincarnation of Buddhism and the theory of cause and effect. It reminds the world that in his lifetime, he should work hard and care for all beings. Even for small life, we must have a heart of compassion in order to plant good causes and produce good results. As a kind of "life and death", Buddhism attaches great importance to hospice care. Master Lushan of the Ming Dynasty said: "From the ancients, the monk was a matter of life and death, that is, the Buddha was born, and it was also to show this event. There is no Dharma beyond life and death, and there is no life and death outside the Dharma. "The secular people have different states of life, and the life events encountered are different. However, only life and death are the same, and all beings are equal. They must go through this process. Buddhism's emphasis on hospice care seeks to free the world from the pain and fear of facing death. In the Tibetan Life and Death Book, there is a full interpretation of the correct attitude of the dying person. "Now that the last yin has fallen on me, I will give up all my climbing, desire, and perseverance, and I will go into the clear awareness of the teachings without confusion, and will send my consciousness into the void of my senses. When I leave this flesh and blood, I shall know that it is a transitory apparition. In other words, the dying person should recognize himself at the moment before his death. The original body of flesh and blood is only a brief illusion. If I can not do so, their families should have the responsibility to help them complete it before they can help them to live in a happy world. Until now, the folk funeral etiquette also has some marks left by Buddhism on the theory of life and death. For example, July 7th is one of the Buddhist prayers for the dead. That is, every seven days is a memorial day, and the memorial service is held until 779 days. This is related to the teachings of Buddhism. Buddhism believes that there are six ways in life. There is a "middle yin" stage between death and life. It seeks life in the underworld. It takes seven days as a period, and seven days must be reborn. Therefore, there is a loss of "July 7 Zhai", and it has the same thing as the traditional Chinese soul concept and is quickly disseminated and implemented. Many famous people do not reject Buddhist doctrine and even practice it. Su Dongpo, a writer of the Song Dynasty, often communicated with monks and Buddhas. For example, Buddhist monks and other monks were his friends. His name "Dongpo" was also the abbreviation of "Dongpo layman" and even replaced his original name and became more known to the world. Li Shutong, a master of modern culture, once wrote a beautiful verse to this day: "Outside the long pavilion, the ancient road is surrounded by fragrant grass. Late wind whistles the sound of the willow flute, sunset mountains. The length of the sky, the corner of the earth, knowing that the cross is half falling. One dune turbid wine is full of joy, do not dream of cold tonight. "At the age of 39, he was a monk at the Dinghui Temple in Hangzhou, and he was a master of Hongyi. Master Hongyi once said: "If you are seriously ill, you must not be frightened. Therefore, the suffering is the Karma of the world, ｏｒ it is also the suffering of the three ways of evil in the future.
