My secret love for Bai Yueguang turned out to be my blind date

Chapter 267 Looking at Death From Another Angle

The next day, Baofeng Temple in Jing'an.

A group of three climbed up the steps, admiring the scenery of the temple, and the famous "Ma Zu Xing Jungle, Baizhang Li Qingguo" in the history of Zen Buddhism also started from then on.

"Buddhism gives the concept of reincarnation and karma about death. It tells us that death is not the end, but the end of the past. You still have a future. Death may represent hope? This life is suffering, and the next life can be expected." Ma Xi Kankan And Tan, "Taoism is detached and awe-inspiring towards death, because in the concept of Taoism, people are eternal, and only by practicing can they live forever, otherwise they will turn into gas and return to heaven and earth."

Su Ye nodded beside him, affirming that Taoism is a native religion of our country. It can be traced back to the alchemists in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods. It is written in the "Taiping Jing": The death of all people in the world is not a trivial matter. Once you die, you will never see it again. The sky, the earth, the sun, and the moon. People live between the sky and the earth. Everyone has a life and cannot be reborn.The last sentence shows that Taoism believes that death is like a lamp going out.

And Ma Xi continued, "Confucianism's views on death, Confucius said, respect ghosts and gods and keep them far away, and don't blame power to mess with gods. Confucius didn't discuss the issue of ghosts and gods. But because Confucianism attaches great importance to death, it says that it is prudent to chase after the end. Respect from beginning to end."

"In my country, Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism are the three major religious and cultural subjects. The attitude towards death is cautious, detached, and fearless, but no matter what it is, it shows that death is a very important thing."

Su Ye nodded, "Yes, death is an issue that has been discussed since ancient times, because death cannot be experienced and cannot be replaced. It can only be faced by oneself forever, and everyone cannot avoid death."

Xu Qingyuan echoed, "Because it is inevitable, most people are actually afraid of death, or death is not terrible, but the unknown and nothingness after death. No one knows what it looks like after death, so they are afraid Or death may easily erase a person's efforts and traces of existence. In the face of such great terror, we will naturally be powerless and afraid."

Ma Xi looked at Su Ye, "Su Ye, I know there is a saying in philosophy that learning philosophy is to prepare for death, because any problem about people can be peeled off layer by layer, until the end, the core must be Death. So what do philosophers think about death?"

"Brother is right. Death is an unavoidable problem, and philosophy has been trying to solve this problem, so some people say that philosophy has become the last responsibility of thought and provides people with a spiritual refuge." Su Ye is not in a hurry, " In ancient Greece, Epicurus, as an atheist philosopher, believed that when we are alive, death has not yet come, and when death comes, we are no longer there, so death has nothing to do with us.

The German philosopher Heidegger has a very famous concept about death called: Towards death.He gave meaning to death again. Only through death can the authenticity and integrity of life be reached, and death is a part of life.

The French philosopher Sartre regarded death as an established fact external to our lives, which is contingency and absurdity. People who smoke and drink live longer.Therefore, Sartre thinks that we can abandon the fear of death and look at death with a calm attitude.

In my country, Sartre's ideas are similar to Zhuangzi's. Zhuangzi said: life and death are fate, and they have the same night and day, which is heaven.It means that life and death cannot be controlled by people, it is fate.Just like the change of day and night, the four seasons are a natural phenomenon.That's why Zhuangzi said: Husband bears me in shape, labors me to live, loses me to old age, and rests me to death.Therefore, those who are kind to my life are also good to my death.It means that life and death are actually the same thing, and the attitude towards death is to be kind to life and death, and death is just for us to have a good rest.”

Xu Qingyuan shook his head, "The sages mentioned by the younger brother are correct, but they cannot be used as a reference. Life is nothing serious except life and death, and it is said that there is great horror between life and death. Not most people can face death with this state of mind. Just like me As mentioned earlier, most people are afraid when facing death, we need a reason for people not to be afraid.”

Su Ye frowned, "People are always afraid of the unknown, and it's too difficult not to be afraid at all. Then, can I change the question of senior brother: death separates relatives, dissolves meaning, and rots greatness. Useless?"

Ma Xi nodded and said, "Your brother's question is valid. People hold a negative attitude towards death. In addition to the fear that Old Xu said, there are many other reasons. Simply entangled in fear is narrow."

Xu Qingyuan understood that he was being overwhelmed, so he hurriedly said, "Young brother is right, so how do you think the younger brother can reverse his negativity?"

"Another angle." Su Ye had a faint wry smile on the corner of his mouth, "Under modern education, each of us understands that people cannot live forever. This is a prerequisite. Suppose a person is terminally ill and knows that he only has three With a life span of one month, will he still feel sorry for himself? I think he may be in the early stage, but he may accept this fact in the later stage. He will enjoy life and accomplish what he wants to do. What about a healthy person? After 900 months, death will come. If this limit is set, I think death will not be a bad thing, it will urge people to work hard to do everything in a limited life.”

To be honest, Su Ye is calm about death, but he is also helpless, because death cannot be resolved, no matter whether you are calm or unwilling, you will eventually die.So, why not look at it with a peaceful mind?Fighting will only make your limited life less.

As a philosopher, as a public program, Su Ye had a voice in his heart telling him to convey optimism, so Su Ye added, "French materialist philosopher Diderot said a word: live to live To be fulfilled is to die happily. Death cannot be dispelled, so while alive, do everything you want to do, enrich your life, broaden the breadth of your life, and sublimate your soul, so that you will not be sad before you die It's a pity, but I can happily accept the arrangement of fate."

For a while, the atmosphere was a little silent, and the three of them looked into the distance.In fact, the three of them knew each other very well. Su Ye didn't say some things, but just looking at Su Ye's expression, Ma Xi and Xu Qingyuan also understood, not to mention that both of them were pessimists to a certain extent, otherwise Xu Qingyuan would have said nothing just now. Will not drill into dead ends.

Death can't solve it, and what can't be done in life is death
The topic of the last issue was such a bad topic
