Buddhist Story: Touching Story of Humans and Animals: Animal Love

Buddhist stories: A touching story between people and animals 2023-08-12

Animal Love

Bai Juyi, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, left us a poem with every word, which is meaningful: Who says that the lives of all beings are small, and the flesh is just like skin.I advise you not to hit the birds on the branches, and your son is in the nest and hopes that his mother will return.

Mother's love is equally great, without the difference between species and region.In the African savanna, an explorer had encountered a cheetah, fighting between humans and animals, it was difficult to solve, and both sides were severely damaged.Finally, the explorer stuffed his fist into the cheetah's mouth and suffocated it to death.The explorer got up with difficulty, staring at the cheetah, whose eyes were wide open but could not move, and staggered back to the camp with pain.

He found his assistant to carry the cheetah's body together, but when he returned to the scene, they were surprised to find that the cheetah was missing.Following the bloodstains, they chased to a big tree and saw an animal nest under the roots of the tree, with the cheetah inside, and the beautiful leopard prints were clearly visible.They tinkered for a long time, but there was no movement. It turned out that the cheetah was dead.When they pulled the dead cheetah out, they were stunned. It turned out that there were two hungry leopards behind the female leopard.At this time, the explorers understood that the reason why cheetahs died with their eyes open was that they could not let go of their children. As for dragging their seriously injured body back to the nest, they were to feed the last bite of milk to the two hungry children!

The tiger does not eat its children if it poisons, and the mother loves all living beings!

However, compared with animals, how noble is our human nature? Sometimes, even if we enter the animal realm without malicious intention, it will cause harm to the animal, let alone deliberately slaughter.Not long ago, I heard a story about rhino told by a colleague in India, which was sad: when a tourist was riding an elephant and traveling through the forest, he met two rhinos, big and small.In order to get a better viewing effect, the tourists drove up and walked to the middle of the two rhinos. However, the female rhino was furious because she could not see the young rhino and rushed towards the elephant.In order to protect tourists, the security guard shot and killed the female rhino. The tourists were safe, but since then, there was one mother missing and one orphan added in the world.

Currently, the only artificially raised white-fin dolphin is called Qiqi, a male. He has lived alone and lonely at the Wuhan Institute of Aquatic Animal Research for more than 20 years.Qiqi was caught by Hubei fishermen in Dongting Lake on January 12, 1980. To this day, he still has deep scars on his forehead that were hooked by a large iron hook.In order to find a spouse for him, the kind-hearted human caught a female porpoise named Zhenzhen in 1996. Unfortunately, he died of depression in less than half a year.

At that time, three dolphins were captured. One of them thought they were females, so they were released. Unexpectedly, they were a family of dolphins, and the mother was released. The next day it was still spinning and yelling in place.The two ends caught were father and daughter. The daughter was young and weak and repeatedly fell down. The father was afraid that his daughter would suffocate to death, so he used his strength to lift his daughter up, and in the end, he died of exhaustion.Zhenzhen, who had just lost her mother and then lost her father, lived alone for several months, and was forced to get married and brought to Qiqi's pool. She became depressed and died of illness soon after.Nowadays, Qi Qi is old and still alone.

When humans encounter misfortunes, they often blame others and do not know who the animals are attributed to.

A ruthless person may not be a true hero. How can a pity your son not be a husband? Those who know whether the wind is roaring wildly, look back at Xiao Yutu.This is a poem by Lu Xun. The rabbit is like a tiger. Even the tiger is full of pity for the wind and roaring, not to mention the bird, let alone the human being! People’s hearts are not old and morals are degraded, which is not just ecology.In many aspects, the ancients were superior to the modern people. For example, the raising of wild birds, eating game, killing animals, hunting, etc. that everyone is accustomed to, have long been criticized by ancient sages.But now, we still talk about shark fins, bird's nests, etc., but we don't know that shark fins are the fins of sharks, that is, their limbs; bird's nests are nests built by swiftlets with saliva to nurture offspring. For the sake of a mere mouth and stomach, we have to cut off other people's arms and offspring. What kind of virtue is it?
