There are eight hardships in life: offering sacrifices to the Yang family

"The Buddha said the eight sufferings"
The Buddha said that there are eight sufferings in life: birth, old age, illness, death, separation from love, long-term resentment, not being able to get what you want, and not being able to let go.
These eight sufferings are the process that a person must experience personally from birth to death. I have a lot of emotions about this sentence, which is worthy of people's constant understanding or thousands of words to explain and commemorate. Birth, old age, illness and death have been the same since ancient times and cannot be escaped.
You can't hide. That's why some Western philosophers say: People are born to experience all the suffering in the world and then understand the true meaning of life. When you realize transcendence, it will gradually fade away. It cannot be said that it is not profound and it cannot be said that it is not mean.
?
These eight sufferings gradually turned into a strange and strange round wheel, wrapping all living beings inside it. This sentence became a heavenly secret, and finally became reincarnation. Life after life, people come and go, but they can't get out of it.
I am reminded of Li Ye’s poem "Eight Arrivals" that I read in college:
From near to far to east and west, from deep to shallow clear stream.
As high as the sun and the moon, as close as possible to the distant couple.
When I finished reading it, I was shocked by its simplicity and profoundness, then I sighed, and finally there was a sudden silence, and a helpless sadness surged in my bones. The Buddha said that if there are leaks, everyone will suffer. The "leak" here
, refers to troubles. If you scratch away three thousand trouble threads, you will continue to be sad because of it. Sometimes it is delusion to be unable to let go, but it is empty when you let it go. Wrong attachment is karma and madness. Originally, we were meant to be a
As a worldly person, if you don't want to see the Tathagata with all the four elements in vain, then you can continue to be crazy.
If you are not crazy, you will not survive!
"Yang's Crazy Life"
Please forgive me for using the adjective "crazy" which seems to be derogatory but is actually great. I can now pat my chest and say that Chapter 128 "Eight Sufferings in Life" in "Step by Step" is the best and most important thing Guan Guan has written so far.
There is no other sensational chapter, this is the only one. At least, the eyes of me, a fool who has been immersed in Buddhist scriptures recently, are moist.
Although Yang has long been aware of the need for lunch boxes, because of this servility, low self-esteem, and narrow vision of the old mother, she will be more or less a liability to Brother Hao's future development. She will definitely not leave Ding's house while she is alive.
Then the filial Ding Hao will face a dilemma.
However, when Guan Guan really wrote Yang to death, he suddenly felt a tearing pain similar to Brother Hao's. This is the greatness of motherhood, which can only be compared to the heaven and earth that nourish all things. If
If a father's love is like a mountain, then a mother's love is like an ocean.
Ms. Yang, from the beginning of the book, has been well-behaved, even a little lackluster and has no highlights at all. Like any traditional Chinese woman, she is kind and virtuous, but she is also like other lower-class maids at that time.
Humble and servile. What I want to say is that the sad thing is that the servile women of that time, and the Yang family, are pitiful.
This playful and lovely woman at the time was finally tormented by scandals and the hardships of raising children. This simple-minded woman, her biggest wish at the time was just to serve the girl and her uncle for the rest of her life, simple and pure.
Then the unscrupulous Mr. Ding took her body after drinking. From then on, she was secretly married. In the end, despite the pressure from Mr. Ding and the contempt of the world, she insisted on giving birth to Ding Hao, a stupid child.
Perhaps Mrs. Ding was so distraught because of this incident that she went back to her parents' home angrily. As a result, she met the victims of the disaster and lost her life. At this point, she saw that Mr. Ding said that the Yang family's sale contract nineteen years ago had been made in front of her.
When the noodles were burned, I didn't feel that Mr. Yang was slavish and loyal, but more sad and sad.
Perhaps Yang really loved Master Ding from the bottom of his heart, so when he took advantage of his drunkenness to belittle her, he gave in half-heartedly. Another important reason for staying in the Ding family as a slave was probably
It was a huge feeling of guilt and guilt in my heart. I was sorry for my young lady, and she committed adultery with my uncle. Later, when the young lady died, this debt became a permanent scar in her heart. I was sorry for my young lady, and I was even more sorry.
Uncle.
These things were too heavy. How could she, an ordinary little woman, carry them? So she aged quickly and was often in poor health.
I no longer hate Mr. Ding. At least he was holding Yang’s hand when she died. Perhaps this is just the small happiness that this poor woman has been praying for all her life. She cannot die in his arms.
Here, she must have him hold her hand. When Yang's little happiness came true, it was the time when the wife turned against her and almost fought against each other.
Mr. Ding was finally willing to hold her hand. This may be more appropriate and real than any sweet words or eternal vows. Note that when Yang went there, she wore a bitter smile. She regretted that she would never see her son again.
Recognizing the father and son of her beloved, they became as close as one family. Looking back on her life, Yang felt that she had suffered to the extreme. She was happy with all the hardships and hardships, but the fact that the father and son turned against each other became her biggest regret before she left.
When Ding Hao grabbed the soil with his hands and dug the grave, what appeared in front of my eyes again was the scene from "Dragon Babu". When Xiao Feng dug the grave with his own hands to bury A'Zhu, I cried. A man is willing to do this to the point of self-mutilation.
To pay homage to a woman in this way, he must have loved to the extreme and regretted to the extreme. This woman must be his closest and most beloved person, such as his wife, such as his mother.
"The promise of cattle and sheep beyond the Great Wall is an empty promise", Xiao Feng failed to fulfill his promise to accompany A'Zhu to herd horses and sheep outside the Great Wall.
Ding Hao will eventually be able to leave Dingjiazhuang, Bazhou City, and even the Northwest, and establish a large foundation; Miss Zhe, Miss Tang, and even many beautiful women will become Hao'er's wife. It is a pity that the Yang family will no longer be the wife of Hao'er.
I can't see it either. The bitter smile on her face when she died probably contained regret and bitterness for not being able to see Haoer get married.
From the moment Ding Hao vowed to stand out in front of his mother's grave, "repairing the tomb, renovating the tomb, and renovating the mausoleum", it foreshadowed that Hao'er would rise from the grassroots to greatness, and eventually break the earth and become the king.
Mausoleums have been dignified only by the royal family since ancient times!
