As the saying goes, Qingming is for family. Such a good day coincides with everyone's holiday. How can we not come out to break through hell for everyone? If the deeds done in previous programs were not enough to make him successfully fall into hell, then this one will definitely send Chen to hell! After this episode, I guarantee that Teacher Chen will fall into eternal hell. You can't even listen, listening is a sin. So I advise everyone to retreat. You are only a few tens of seconds away. It should reduce the penalty. You can still be saved by withdrawing now, but if you continue to listen, I dare not say more. Let me tell you, it's called the 18 layers of hell. And where did these 18 layers of hell come from? It will also involve the scriptures of Buddhist teachings and the scriptures of folk beliefs. It will also mention a religious sect that had a profound impact on later generations during the Wei-Jin period. It was founded by Master Faxian. It was strictly prohibited by the imperial court during the Tang Dynasty. It disappeared during the Song Dynasty, but the teachings of this religion have never disappeared. It has even had a profound impact on what we believe today. For example, concepts like the "Mofa period," "releasing life to earn merit," and "18 layers of hell" are all related to it. This religion has also influenced some later scriptures. We can even say that the original versions of these scriptures are the Ksitigarbha Sutra and the Sutra of the Ten Kings. Since it involves a Buddhist scripture, I will be scolded to death in this episode. Because it cannot be criticized, criticism will make everyone's hearts break, right? Alas, it doesn't matter. If I don't go to hell, who will? Even if there is no risk of going to hell, I must personally send myself to my doom. Some friends always say, "Ah, do you have any scriptures to refer to?" Alas, forget it. Even if I say no, no one will believe it. To prevent everyone from always scolding me without evidence, I will give you the evidence in this episode, so that Chen is proven. There is really no way to deny it. Let me personally scare you. Will this really happen? What disappeared is to go and research this topic. This topic is too complicated, so I have spent almost two days collecting information. I specifically stayed up late to explain to everyone the possible "tide of retreat" that might be triggered. I cannot personally destroy my own future, and I cannot personally push myself into hell. So watch this episode. If you want to be a "job seeker," then you cannot miss this episode. Okay, let's officially begin. How can we not be polite to everyone first? Whether you have faith or not, I think everyone has heard of the concept of the 18 layers of hell. So, where does this concept of the 18 layers of hell come from? First, let me clarify a few concepts for everyone. In the early Buddhist scriptures, for example, the Agamas mention the eight great hells. Each great hell has ten small hells below it, but it does not mention the so-called "18 layers of hell." Therefore, the concept of the 18 layers of hell is not in the original scriptures. It was formed after Buddhism was introduced to China and combined with local culture and beliefs. It became widely circulated in novels and folk tales during the Ming Dynasty and gradually became a part of Chinese traditional culture. You might retort, "The 18 layers of hell are not true, but the Buddha also spoke of great hells." If you have some knowledge of Buddhist teachings, you will understand that the Buddha often used analogies when speaking. He would also speak in a way that different people could understand, according to their aptitude, level of comprehension, and cultural background. This is called "skillful means." If we do not consider the historical background of the Buddha's words at that time, or the context, and take his words, or even his examples and metaphors, as literal truths, then it will be troublesome. Our understanding will be greatly mistaken. This means that the truth he spoke each time will not change, but the way he expressed it will. This is the point we mentioned in the last episode: we should not mistake the pointing finger for the moon. We should believe the Buddha's intention and understand what he wants to express through his metaphors, rather than directly interpreting the content he speaks. Why did the Buddha use metaphors? Because society at that time was more than 2,000 years ago. There were no modern concepts like the subconscious, confirmation, or revolution. Moreover, in the social environment at that time, most people were illiterate. They could only be persuaded by metaphors, stories, or parables. Furthermore, the era in which the Buddha lived was an era of religion and teaching. He hoped to borrow some existing religious concepts to explain the root of things and to establish a structure through which we could change our destiny with our own hands, to resolve the fatalism and oppression in the religions of that time. It is not just about transcending ourselves and reflecting on our inner hearts. Your inner hatred will not continue to cause you pain and lead you to eternal suffering. The hell that the Buddha spoke of does not mean that you will go to hell, nor does it mean that there is a place called hell. The cycle of reincarnation he spoke of does not mean that you will be reborn as a pig, or an Asian, or a ghost, or a celestial being. It does not mean these things. Hell also does not represent eternal punishment. No one is eternally damned. These are all metaphors. Why did we come to this conclusion? First, we need to look at the historical background of the Buddha's era. The Buddha's era was in India in the 5th to 4th centuries BC. At that time, Indian society already had a strong concept of reincarnation, karma, and retribution. The religion of Brahmanism, that is, the concept of reincarnation, was not invented by the Buddha. It was a product of another primitive religion, Brahmanism. So why did the Buddha mention these concepts? Let me give a simple example. For instance, if a common person comes to ask the Buddha a question, "Where do people go after they die?" And "Why is it so unfair? I have committed karma, and I want to repent. What can I do? Do you have anything to teach me? Can you tell me how to resolve it?" What do you think the Buddha would do? The Buddha would answer them according to their original beliefs, knowledge, and background. If they strongly believed in reincarnation and hell, then the Buddha would explain and guide them based on this foundation. In the logical view mentioned by the Buddha, hell is actually just a phenomenon, referring to a feedback mechanism for the things they have done. It is not that there are gods or ghosts punishing them. Because one of the core concepts of primitive Buddhism is self-karma. All the results we encounter are our own doing, not that someone is punishing you. Therefore, when the Buddha talks about hell, he hopes that you will understand that this is actually a natural law, not some kind of retribution. Beings are born and die because of causes and conditions. You are truly your own master. Just as fire can burn people, poison can cause people to die or get sick, and evil deeds will naturally bring about consequences. Therefore, it inspires everyone to think: will the actions I am doing now have consequences? What will happen? Remember one point: it is believed that the soul is immortal. The moment you leave the human body, if you are still carrying hatred, then in the next life, you will continue to experience this hatred, continue to be angry, and continue to carry hatred. Is this equivalent to reincarnating in hell? You are angry today, you are hateful today, and then you will experience extreme pain. Then you will continue this extreme pain, and then again this extreme pain. As long as you continue to resent and hate, you will continue to cycle in this hell. This is what he wants to express. In fact, other realms are the same. How do you cycle in the realm of hungry ghosts? It is your insatiable desire. It is never enough. My wealth is not enough, my status is not enough, my power is not enough. Then you will continue to be not enough, not enough, not enough. Then you are cycling in the realm of hungry ghosts. It is the same in the realm of animals. You are like a fish, or a blind worm. Then in your next life, you will continue to be a blind worm. This is what is called the three realms. It does not mean that you will truly become a "mean, crooked" creature, and then your neck will be so dry that you cannot even drink water. Hell is not because there are some eternally burning mountains and seas. The Buddha is not telling you these things. The so-called entering hell actually refers to us being led by our own karma, and because of our own psychological magnetic field, we repeatedly experience these things. Buddhism also advocates that the soul is immortal. Therefore, these psychological influences will affect you for a lifetime. When you have resolved your own causes and the consequences you have created, then you will no longer need to stay in this realm, whether it is the realm of hell, hungry ghosts, or animals. Therefore, hell is not a terrifying concept, nor is it something the Buddha made up. Secondly, it does not represent eternal punishment. It is just a natural phenomenon. If you release a bird, the bird will fly back to your side. No one punishes you. If you punch someone, they will punch you back. If you kill someone, they will come back. If you scold someone, your own scolding will come back to you. It's simple. Let's compare what the Buddha originally said with our current understanding, and we will understand how much we have distorted things. For example, the eight great hells mentioned in original Buddhism have now been expanded to the 18 layers of hell, and even more. According to records, there are as many as 36 hells with specific descriptions. We will introduce them to everyone. As for the scriptures on hell, the Agamas mention the eight great hells. What we have now is the concept of the 18 layers of hell. It mainly comes from a folk scripture, the Sutra of the Ten Kings, and a scripture that suddenly appeared during the Ming Dynasty, claiming to be from the Tang Dynasty and by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. However, of course, when copying scriptures from the Tang Dynasty, such a book was not found. This scripture, besides Chinese, is completely unavailable in Pali scriptures. This means it only exists in Chinese versions, which is already suspicious. Don't rush to refute. Later, I will explain this issue in detail. The purpose of the hell mentioned by the Buddha is to guide people on how to escape from these causes. What the 18 layers of hell propagate is fear. Why use fear to control people from doing evil? The method of control is like Jin Ping Mei. In terms of doctrine, Buddhism emphasizes impermanence, compassion, and inner cultivation. The legends of the 18 layers of hell emphasize punishment and adherence to divine rules. In terms of the subject, you would not expect Sakyamuni Buddha to punish you, would you? Buddha does not judge, nor does he punish. It is the causes and conditions you set in motion, the karma you set in motion, that determines your destiny. This karma is not the karma of power. These concepts are all related to the 18 layers of hell, which have a subject that punishes you.
For example, there will be judgments of the mighty, judgments of the dead, judgments of the condemned, and so on. In terms of judgment, the original teachings emphasize your own karma and your own actions. As for folk legends, there will be things like public officials, mirrors of karma, and rituals. Or, if there are family members who help you chant scriptures, then it can alleviate your punishment. In terms of the old way, the original way is that you must cultivate, you must be compassionate, you must have a benevolent heart. And the enlightened ones, their main principle is that you might as well release some turtles, you must release some fish, you must chant scriptures, you must even chant my name, so that I can help your relatives cross over, so that I can ask for your release from hell, I will burn some things for you. It's not right to burn pants and sparrows for boys and girls. It's not right. Oh, it's a transaction. It's like doing these things to avert disaster. In fact, we have already simplified it to such a simple comparison, and you already know. The core logic of the eighteen layers of hell is four things. The first is moral terror, described to shock the masses, so that their behavior is controlled. The second is the logic of life, which is to be able to use some merits to commute the sentence. Yes, you are in our hell, complete this ten-thousand-year social service order, then you can become human again. It doesn't matter if you have made mistakes. Use some merits to compensate for the public, accumulate points, or your killing karma doesn't matter. Like the King of Desire, chanting scriptures, looking in the mirror. It doesn't matter if you have killed 100,000 people. We can help you. There is also folk belief, which institutionalizes the entire underworld. It takes that Chinese system, and in the underworld, for example, there are the Ten Kings, there are some, there are Ox-Head and Horse-Face, there are some dark gods. They are linked. The fourth is to use the method of exploration to achieve a faster social effect. Let's look at each layer of hell and see what kind of people are punished, and you will know. For example, widows, don't change the price. You must be filial to your parents. You must worship your ancestors. The whole system is already different. The Buddha talked about hell because the people who came to consult him and ask him questions at that time, most of their beliefs were Buddhist beliefs. And most people didn't know much, and they didn't have modern psychology or other knowledge. As a Buddha, how can you explain these principles clearly to them? You can only explain clearly using what they can understand. The Buddha intended to explain through the concept of the three realms, that is, the concepts of hell, hungry ghosts, and animals. The behaviors and beliefs like greed, hatred, and delusion in our hearts will push us into some bad spiritual realms, and trap us there, unable to get out. Everyone has the opportunity to cultivate, everyone has the opportunity to change this outcome. As long as you are willing to change, it's fine. Now, I will give a not-so-accurate analogy. The Buddha really borrowed the concept of the six realms of reincarnation from Hinduism as an analogy. The six realms of reincarnation that the Buddha talked about actually refer to different states in our hearts. For example, he himself was a prince. In the palace, he saw his father and others living in wealth and luxury. Because it was too comfortable, his heart had no inclination towards cultivation at all, and he didn't think about improving his inner self. The realm of Asura is like other countries. At that time, India was also chaotic, with one conquering another. These people all had power and status, and were very wealthy, but they fought. Although they were worried, their hearts were full of jealousy and they liked to compete with you. The human realm is when he traveled everywhere and saw ordinary people. Sometimes good things happened and they were happy, and sometimes they were unhappy because of something. So, there are always opportunities for reflection. This realm is the most ordinary realm of ordinary people, isn't it? He also saw some lower-class people, like puppets, doing whatever they were told, like dolls, at the mercy of others, but they didn't know they were being manipulated. What's the difference between them and animals? He also saw some people like hungry ghosts, with excessive greed, feeling that nothing was enough, wanting everything for themselves, wanting to snatch your things, their hearts are like hungry ghosts. There are also some people who live in hatred and resentment, just like what we often call hell now, forever unable to escape suffering. It's like living in hell for a lifetime. So, the Buddha's meaning is that as soon as a thought arises, you are already in the six realms. You don't need to die to go to hell. If our hearts are full of hatred and anger, then we are living in hell now. Now, I will give an example from life, and you will understand immediately. For example, a few days ago, someone left a message on my channel, saying that Teacher Chen makes such garbage videos. I was furious. I was so angry that I couldn't sleep or eat for several days. My heart was full of anger. I thought about how I could make an episode to expose him. As soon as I thought of the other person, I became angry. Life felt like living in hell. Does this state resemble the inner fire described by the Buddha? Another analogy is that I already have a lot of money, I have resources, status, cars, houses, a wife, but I feel that other things are better, more beautiful. I feel that my food is not enough, my affection is not enough, my attention is not enough, things are never enough, not safe enough, not rich enough, I am afraid of losing. Does this resemble the realm of hungry ghosts described by the Buddha? I don't know if it's like a hungry ghost with an empty stomach, always unable to eat enough, always unhappy. I can give a few examples of other realms. Born with a silver spoon, spending the day playing and eating, what else is there to do? There is no ambition, only knows how to play. But of course, they don't do bad things, and they don't have much spiritual pursuit. So, that is heaven. Is it a good thing? It's not necessarily a good thing. But of course, they don't have to suffer physical pain. What is the realm of Asura? Well, it's like many CEOs of listed companies. They like to attack others, to swallow other companies. You have a lot of money, why bother? Why do you still want to increase the fighting spirit? The names are also like that. Why do you want to see through others, see through their clothes? See through their shoes? What is the realm of animals? Well, it's like people who tell you what to do, you do it. They don't think, they follow hatred. In fact, they don't even know what they are doing. So, the Buddha is not asking you to regret after death, to make amends. Instead, he wants to ask you where you are now, where you want to stay, or if you want to walk out of these six realms. If you want to, you need to know where your heart's desire is. Is it in the human realm, heaven, Asura realm, hungry ghost realm, hell, or animal realm? When you realize that you are actually in hell, then you must not continue to follow these thoughts and implement your actions. Don't fall into these mistakes anymore. Then you will slowly come out. You will no longer stay in this hell and can return to the human realm. If you are willing to cultivate the Four Noble Truths, then you can transcend. That is what the Buddha said. But is this how everyone understands it? Everyone thinks about these things. If you understand this one thing, you will no longer have the inference that you can help your mother suffer. The Buddha also told you that you can help your mother suffer, you can chant scriptures for her, chant scriptures for your relatives, how can that help her suffer? She has already gone through one life after another. It is only because you want your heart to change that you can leave your original realm. What does chanting scriptures have to do with it? What does another person chanting have to do with it? What does it have to do with you helping her? If she doesn't change, whatever you do is useless. The Buddha's gentle and philosophical expressions can be distorted to such an extent. It can be said that it makes me speechless. Why do people still believe in such theories, such talk about the eighteen layers of hell? Because people have never seriously looked at what these so-called eighteen layers of hell actually punish, and what kind of people they punish, and how absurd their duration is. In the following time, I will explain to everyone one by one what these so-called eighteen layers of hell are. However, because this saying has been embellished too much in novels and folk legends, there are actually more than eighteen. In the folk legends, the eighteen layers of hell actually have thirty-six. Ah, I found them, there are thirty-six. Many hells you hear about already sound absurd. And these absurd things, you are still afraid of them now. It's like watching "Chucky" and "Annabelle" and being scared for ten or twenty years. They are things that do not exist, but you are still afraid and it affects you. It might even affect your children, because you will tell them. And the eighteen layers of hell are not like what we understand, like climbing one layer after another. They are more like different judicial institutions. For example, like the court of property, the court of arbitration, or the court of minor offenses, the court of death, the court of city affairs. Of course, suddenly there are one or two hells that are more advanced. You might have a district court, a high court, and also general regional courts, arbitration courts. In short, it is not like what you understand, like climbing one layer after another, going down layer by layer. That's not the meaning. The "layer" refers to different levels, different scopes, not one or two layers. Okay, after talking for twenty minutes, we finally get to the main topic, talking about the eighteen layers of hell. I will first go through them with everyone, and then talk about them one by one. The first layer is the Hell of No Release, the second layer is the Hell of the Great Hell, the third layer is the Hell of Iron, the fourth layer is the Hell of the Ball, the fifth layer is the Hell of the Peak, the sixth layer is the Hell of the Fire, the seventh layer is the Hell of the Wandering, the eighth layer is the Hell of the Mountain, the ninth layer is the Hell of Blood, the tenth layer is the Hell of the Volcano, the eleventh layer is the Hell of Stone, the twelfth layer is the Hell of the Mountain, the thirteenth layer is the Hell of the Shooting Worm, the fourteenth layer is the Hell of the Pet, the fifteenth layer is the Hell of Iron, the sixteenth layer is the Hell of the Mo, the seventeenth layer is the Hell of Falling, the eighteenth layer is the Hell of Darkness. Of course, besides the first and last layers, different places also have different versions. I will also mention other hells. The nineteenth layer is the Hell of Iron, the twentieth layer is the Hell of the Fire Ox, the twenty-first layer is the Hell of the Farm, the twenty-second layer is the Hell of the Mirror, the twenty-third layer is the Hell of the Prison, the twenty-fourth layer is the Hell of the Feet, the twenty-fifth layer is the Hell of the Mountain, the twenty-sixth layer is the Hell of the Cloud, the twenty-seventh layer is the Hell of the Embryo, the twenty-eighth layer is the Hell of the Shooting, the twenty-ninth layer is the Hell of Falling, the thirtieth layer is the Hell of the Cold, the thirty-first layer is the Hell of Poisonous Smoke, the thirty-second layer is the Hell of the Four Gods, the thirty-third layer is the Hell of the Wilderness, the thirty-fourth layer is the Hell of the Vision, the thirty-fifth layer is the Hell of the Prison, the thirty-sixth layer is the Hell of Return. Okay, let's focus on introducing the classic hells to everyone, so that when you visit them one day, you will know where to visit. Okay, the first layer is the Hell of No Release. What does it mean? The first stop is the Hell of No Release. This is the lightest punishment in the eighteen layers of hell. And, Teacher Yi, oh, you met me in hell. Oh my, what's wrong? Which hell are you going to? I'm going to the Hell of No Release. I'm queuing up, preparing for the Hell of No Release. Everything is the best arrangement. The Hell of No Release is convenient for me to go back to make char siu. Don't worry, my friend. Tomorrow will be better. Let's first see what kind of people will fall into this first layer of hell. When they are in power, they like to lie, to slander, to argue. Then they will come to this Hell of No Release. After arriving, there will be special little ones to serve you. They will then use a cold iron rod to hook you out. This is to make you suffer.
Oh, they certainly wouldn't pull slowly all at once, pulling your profit, so you can take it to roast pork. Pulling your rope to seven to fifteen kilometers, so long, that's still not enough. They still have to pull your rope to the wall and place the profit on top, as if filling it, to tear your skin apart. To tear, to stomp, making you unbearable. Then you might ask, "Ah, what punishment am I supposed to endure here?" The records are the same as Ah Wah's first song, a curved hook, a green face. Because this hell, its origin is the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vow Sutra. In this sutra, it mentions a thing called "Xie Di Yu" (洩地獄), but it doesn't mention specific details, nor does it say how many times one has to be Yang, how long one will suffer, or the degree of pain. The original text only says, "If there is a hell named Bu Xie, there is a hell named Jian Dao, there is a hell named Huo Jian." It just says these hells exist. The detailed descriptions from before, such as pulling the rope to 400 li, which is seven to twenty-five kilometers, and a thousand li to your profit, are found in some folk beliefs or in books like "Rou Li Bao Chao" (肉力保抄). This means these details are secondary creations, or even tertiary creations. I will explain why it's tertiary creation later. According to these sayings, as long as you have told a lie or broken a promise in your life, you will go to this hell. Now, let's do a statistic. Every day, approximately seventeen million people die worldwide. Multiply that by 365 days, which means sixty-two million five hundred thousand people die globally each year. Among these sixty-two million people, three percent are sentenced to Xie Di Yu because of breaking promises. The number of queues for those being punished each year is almost two million. Then the problem is, one ghost being punished takes an hour. Wow, so you have to queue for tens of billions of years. Therefore, what truly worries you is not just queuing, but the queuing itself is the real punishment. Now, if according to the rules of Xie Di Yu, what kind of people would enter this hell throughout history? Needless to say, Qin Shi Huang would definitely go to this Bu Xie Di Yu. Because of his... who is it? He is definitely there, operating the propaganda machine, spreading hateful remarks. Who else? Those who are manipulators, those who are hypocritical. They will definitely go to this hell. Yes, I want to lie down, then go back to roasting pork. Ah, but I thought, it turns out I have to queue for tens of billions of years. I really feel scared just thinking about it. I dare not give up! Alright, let's go and see the second layer of hell, Zhan Di Yu. Its direct origin is "Rou Li Bao Chao". The setting of this hell is already absurd by today's standards. But in ancient times, you know, some people liked to remarry. Those who remarry for life, or those who facilitate remarriage, this hell is specifically for those who teach widows to remarry or help them find partners. "Oh dear, did you come here to find a match? What, you're not married yet? Let me introduce you to a widow!" Besides teaching widows to remarry, who else? Those who break up couples, those who deceive, those who fake marriages, these kinds of people will also go to this Qian Di Yu. After arriving in this hell, ghosts will use giant iron scissors to cut off all your limbs. It's amazing, your limbs will grow back in hell. After they grow back, they will be cut off again. Just cutting is not enough to vent hatred. They will also burn you with fire and blow wind on you, tormenting you continuously. In ancient times, men had to farm, fight wars, and die for the king, which was normal. But under ancient concepts, a woman remarrying was considered a serious offense. Therefore, many young women, perhaps their husbands died within a month, and under social pressure, they had to remain widows for life. This hell, in our modern eyes, is already an absurd existence. Think about it seriously, think about what this hell's setting serves. It actually serves politics. Aren't there many similar hells? Those who organize speed dating, they will go to this hell. And this value system is clearly not from Buddhism. It even originates from... Let's do a simple calculation. If among the global deaths, two percent are involved in widow remarriage, deception, or emotional manipulation, then one million people go to this Qian Di Yu every year. If you are greedy, your sentence for cutting off your hand is... Currently, there are over 1.5 billion souls queuing in Zhan Di Yu. The third layer of hell, Tie Di Yu. The trees here are really made of iron. The branches of these trees are all sharp knives and iron. What kind of souls can be so fortunate to come to this Tie Di Yu? In life, those who commit rape, force abortions, or force abortions under power, engage in incest, adultery, sexual exploitation, sexual transactions, father-son relationships, wife-swapping, or sow discord between people, all these will lead to this hell. After arriving, when it's your turn to queue, the evil ghosts will drive you up the tree to climb. It's terrifying. Climbing the tree, your palms and body will be cut by these iron swords. The ghosts will continue to... you will continue to climb upwards. The swords will injure your hands, feet, and body. You say, "I'm not afraid to climb up." Then the ghosts will take sharp blades, take swords, and pierce through your back. After piercing your body, they will pull them out and continue to stab. If you still don't climb up, they will hang you on the tree and stab you continuously. If you fall from the tree, the ghosts will chase you and force you back up to repeat the process, until you have repaid all your karma. Those who commit rape will receive a punishment of five hundred to a thousand years. If it's rape or forcing abortions, then sorry, you have to stay here for three thousand years. But if you do such things throughout your life, repeatedly, they won't care about this place, and you will be directly thrown into Wu Jian Di Yu. Among the annual deaths, one percent are involved in such crimes. Every year, six hundred thousand more ghosts queue here. If the average sentence is fifteen hundred years, then there are probably over ten million souls queuing now. What? You see your neighbor, Mrs. Chen, going to fight? Please don't fight! You will harm your family! You will go to Tian Xue Di Yu. Her wife beat her. What business is it of yours? Your justice is useless. You will also go to Tian Xue Di Yu. The sentence here is so long. The fourth layer of hell is Zhong Di Yu. Its direct origin is "Rou Li Bu Jin". What are the crimes? It's disrespecting parents, elders, speaking disrespectfully, signing bad contracts, refusing to take responsibility, long-term estrangement. This is very typical. Because it's clearly not from Buddhism. It's like... those who teach people to replace their wives, sorry, you will definitely go to this Zhong Qiu Di Yu. Chen Xiang will be thrown into a giant stone bell. It's like the bells used for traditional Chinese medicine or rice. The ghosts will take iron hammers and smash until he is shattered. It's amazing. After Chen Xiang's bones are shattered, they will recover. After recovering, they will be thrown in again and smashed. Every time they are smashed by ghosts, it will be heartbreaking. Why is this done? The second is to break his wolf-like bones. The actual punishment depends on the degree of your disrespect. If you unintentionally disrespect, for example, forgetting to pay respects for three days and nights, it's only a few hours. You will only be smashed for three hundred to five hundred years. But if you intentionally sign bad contracts, or even scold your parents, then you might be smashed by ghosts for one thousand to three thousand years. If it's worse, it's great disrespect, not caring about superiors or inferiors, causing harm to relatives. Then you will fall into this Wu Jian Di Yu forever. Sigh, just thinking about it is really... The fifth layer, Feng Di Yu. Its origin is Buddhist scriptures. What kind of people will enter this Ju Feng Di Yu? It's murder, severe violent harm, inciting others to kill, military massacres, killing innocent people, killing oneself, contract killers, war crimes. The method of punishment is that your whole body will be bound. The ghosts will take their feet and start from your head, down to your lower body, tearing you apart. After tearing you apart, they will sew your body back together. After sewing, they will tear you apart again. According to the records of killing karma in the scriptures, if you commit general murder, for example, not premeditated murder, your sentence will be five hundred to a thousand years. But if you intentionally kill multiple times, it will be three thousand to ten thousand years. If you are so evil that there is no difference, like in war, then you will enter this Wu Jian Di Yu forever. I think there are many emperors in this hell. The sixth layer is Tong Chu Di Yu. Its direct origin is "Rou Li Bao Chao". What bad things will lead to this hell? Arson, evil deeds. Sinners will be tied to a rat. If this hell really exists, I think Zu Yong (足庸) couldn't become an immortal. He should be suffering punishment below now. Also, tyrants, Xiang Yu, burning Rome. Lu Tong Di Yu Pao. The seventh layer is the real deal, the classic, You Huo Di Yu. Its origin is the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vow Sutra and "Rou Li Bu You Zha". It's corruption, abuse of power, betrayal of loyalty for personal gain, ruining families. Those who ruin families will go to this You Huo Di Yu. After arriving in this hell, the ghosts will take off their clothes and then push you into the oil. They will use ladles to push you down. You float up, and they push you down again. They will fry you until you are completely fried. After frying you until you are hollow, they will leave you aside to recover. After you recover, they will fry you again. This process of frying you until you are completely fried is... "Oh, ghost officer brother, my hands hurt from frying. Can I rest before frying again?" Do you think you are at home frying chips? Stop for a moment. I was a KOL in my life. If you are willing to give me a moment when you are promoting advertisements, I will give you a pair of pig heads. Sigh. Okay, okay, let's do an advertisement first. Pig head peanuts, a part of hell. Even ghosts like pig head prizes. Oil. Ghosts also use it. Generally, those who secretly steal office supplies, steal A4 paper home, and harm the company's interests, will be fried for a thousand years. But because of public interest, it will be two thousand to five thousand years. If you deceive the entire country, for example, during floods, embezzling funds, causing floods that kill tens of millions of people, then at this moment, you will greatly fall...
Alas, you will fall into this hell of no respite, where you will eternally suffer. You will continue to hallucinate and be terrified. You should now be in the midst of being punished.
Upon arriving at the eighth layer, the origin of this hell is the "Earth Store Bodhisattva's Original Vows Sutra." It punishes those who steal, smuggle, rob, or forcibly seize others' property, destroy religious property, or plunder resources. All these acts will lead to this hell. You will be forced by demons to run up a mountain covered in sharp spikes, with every step piercing your feet. Blood will flow to your voice. If you commit these acts while alive, your entire body will be covered in wounds, as if you were being cut by a thousand knives. The demons will stab you with their strength. If you smuggle without resorting to violence or causing serious harm, the punishment is approximately 300 to 500 years. However, if you commit robbery or violent plunder, it is 1500 to 3000 years. If you dare to plunder resources, causing disaster victims to suffer losses, it is 5000 years or more, or you will be sent to this hell of no respite. It is possible that you are still down there now.
The ninth layer of hell is the Blood Pool Hell. This hell is quite famous and is mentioned in the "Earth Store Bodhisattva's Original Vows Sutra" and other texts. The sins punished here include insulting women, using violent force to force abortions, destroying marriages, abducting married women, or causing postpartum hemorrhage. You will automatically fall into this hell. All these acts will lead to the Blood Pool Hell. It's no wonder, haha. So this is what hell is like. Oh my, even menstruation is a sin. What is the method of punishment? You will be thrown into a bottomless blood pool. The composition of the blood is very particular, including menstrual blood and fetal blood. There are also blood snakes and other creatures that will bite you as soon as you fall in. Therefore, in ancient times, do not tell people you are menstruating, as you will go to hell. You also cannot let others find out, or you will be in trouble if the ox-headed and horse-faced demons know.
Alright, if you fall into the Blood Hell due to menstruation, or for minor offenses like sexual harassment or molesting women, the sentence is approximately 500 to 1000 years. If you are a demoness who forces people to have abortions, the sentence is even longer.
Alright, the tenth layer of hell is the Volcano Hell. Its origin is in the "Law of the Bodhisattva's Original Vows Sutra." The sins punished here are related to arson or natural disasters, such as instigating war or inciting the masses to overthrow the emperor. All these acts will lead to the Volcano Hell. You will have to come here to suffer the punishment of being boiled alive. The worst offenders will be thrown into a boiling volcano, causing your entire body to be incinerated. The flames will penetrate your bones and flesh, burning you to ashes, and then you will be reborn and burned again. During a volcanic eruption, sinners will be spewed out by the volcano and then fall back underground to be burned again. After being burned to ashes, they will be thrown back into the volcano by the demons to continue burning.
If you use words to provoke and cause two families to fight, these are minor offenses, and you will receive a punishment of 500 to 1000 years. If you dare to incite hatred against the king, organize violent crimes, then I'm sorry, you will have to endure ten thousand years in this Volcano Hell. If you instigate war, causing large-scale deaths, you may fall into the hell of no respite.
The eleventh layer of hell is the Tin Press Hell. Its origin is in the "Law of the Bodhisattva's Original Vows Sutra." The sins punished here are abusing power, oppressing others, and kicking people when they are down. Yes, if you kick someone when they are down, even after death, demons will kick you down. The worst offenders will stand under a giant rock, and a huge rock will repeatedly press down on their entire body. The limbs and head will be crushed by the falling rock. Miraculously, your body will recover, and the process will repeat. Sometimes, if there are not enough demons in the Tin Press Hell, they will do it together. If you lightly push ordinary people to a dead end, forcing them to jump off buildings or commit suicide, the sentence is 1500 to 3000 years. If you systematically oppress the common people for a long time, causing immense social pressure, you will fall into the hell of no respite.
The twelfth layer of hell is the Feces Hell. Its origin is in the "Law of the Bodhisattva's Original Vows Sutra." The sins punished here are scolding people, slandering people, spreading vulgar and lewd language, insulting ancestors and cultivators, spreading malicious gossip, and provoking people. All these acts will lead to this Feces Hell. The punishment involves being thrown into a pit full of feces. You will truly have to eat feces. In addition to eating feces, there will also be creatures that bite you. In short, it is extremely foul-smelling. When many demons smell the stench, they will vomit. After they vomit, your vomit will return to the feces. Then, the demons will force you to eat what you have vomited. You will continuously vomit and swallow it all together with the feces. Your mouth and nose will be completely blocked by the feces. Generally, those who speak profanities and curse will fall into this Feces Hell for 300 to 500 years. If you dare to slander and frame people, or if you are punished by the teachings, it will be about 2000 years. However, if you systematically organize counter-revolutionary teams to deceive people, you will fall into the hell of no respite.
Actually, after falling into the Feces Hell, we will come out and watch some Minecraft. Let's continue talking about the thirteenth layer of hell, the Insect Hell. Its origin is in the "Law of the Bodhisattva's Original Vows Sutra." The sins are plotting to harm others, being unable to tolerate others' success, provoking and harming others, and exploiting people's weaknesses for personal gain. The punishment is to have your clothes stripped off and be thrown into insect holes. Poisonous insects will enter your body through your orifices. The poison of the poisonous insects will spread throughout your body and into your stomach, where they will lay eggs and hatch. Then, they will bite and rot your stomach from the inside. Similarly, after you recover, they will continue to bite. Generally, those who are jealous or cause serious harm will be punished for 500 to 1000 years. Those who systematically plot and harm others for power will be punished for 2000 to 5000 years. Those who have been harming and attacking people for a long time will, I'm sorry, fall into the hell of no respite.
Let's quickly talk about the fourteenth layer, the Weight Hell. It also originates from the "Law of the Bodhisattva's Original Vows Sutra." The sins are cold-blooded murder, indifference to others' suffering, lack of compassion, betrayal of friends and lovers, and not helping those in need. These sinners will be pressed between iron plates, like a sandwich, layer by layer. Each layer represents the suffering you have caused others. The weight will directly crush your heart, lungs, and all your organs until they are shattered, causing you to suffer and suffocate. After dying, you will be reborn and crushed again. Generally, those who are indifferent to others and lack compassion will be punished for up to 700 years. If you betray others, it is 1500 to 3000 years. If you use others' emotions for personal gain and then abandon them, it is 5000 years or more, or you will be directly thrown into the hell of no respite.
The fifteenth layer is also from the "Law of the Bodhisattva's Original Vows Sutra," the Net Hell. It punishes those who harm others, trap them in schemes, commit crimes under the guise of righteousness, and reap benefits. These sinners will be bound by iron nets. The sharp parts will be inserted into your body, as if they are constantly piercing your flesh and blood. Ordinary harm to others is 8500 years. Harming others to death is 1000 to 6000 years. Long-term control of people or being a subordinate in a fraud group will lead to the hell of no respite.
The sixteenth layer is the Skinning Hell, also from the "Law of the Bodhisattva's Original Vows Sutra." The sins are hypocrisy, pretense, and outwardly patient but inwardly malicious behavior. You will fall into this hell. You will be tied up and have your skin peeled off. After your skin grows back, it will be peeled off again. Sometimes, demons will use iron hooks to tear off your skin, or they will have evil spirits peel off your skin. Generally, those who are hypocritical and deceitful will be punished for 500 to 1000 years. Those who are long-term hypocritical and deceitful merchants will be punished for up to 4000 years. Those who use their image to deceive others and harm them will fall into this hell.
The seventeenth layer is the Falling Hell, originating from the "Law of the Bodhisattva's Original Vows Sutra" and the "Law of the Bodhisattva's Original Vows Sutra." The sins are murder, cannibalism, creating poisonous mushrooms, mutilating corpses, and those who take pleasure in harming the weak. The punishment is that your hands will be bound and you will be hung in mid-air. Then, from the sky, like rain, sharp blades will fall, cutting you into a thousand pieces. Each cut will be a painful stab. Similarly, you will die and be reborn, and then continue to be cut. Generally, those who slaughter animals for profit will be punished for 1000 to 2000 years. Those who mutilate corpses will be punished for 5000 to 10,000 years. Those who commit genocide will fall into the hell of no respite.
The eighteenth layer is the Extreme Hell, also originating from the "Law of the Bodhisattva's Original Vows Sutra." It punishes those who are evil, have no conscience, disrespect heaven and earth, knowingly commit crimes, repeatedly do evil, are extremely cruel and inhumane, and are indifferent to others' suffering. These people will fall into this hell. After falling here, there is no light. This place has no heaven, no earth, no sound, no spirit. You will fall into loneliness, fear, and spiritual torment. Ordinary offenses will be punished for 3000 to 10,000 years. Those who commit extremely serious crimes will fall into the hell of no respite.
The nineteenth layer is the Iron Hell, punishing those who mock the law, trample on nature, harm sentient beings, disrespect religion and traditional beliefs, deify themselves, claim their words as scriptures, fail to enlighten sentient beings, speak profanities, severely insult ancestors, and disrespect the heavenly way. These sinners will be bound by iron. Demons will use giant iron combs to scrape your scalp, like scrubbing a pot, until your skin is worn away. They will specifically scrape your mouth and tongue because demons accuse you of being talkative and having a poisonous tongue. The punishment for your poisonous words and disrespect for ancestors is 500 to 1000 years. Those who publicly deceive and are lowly will be punished for 1000 to 4000 years. Those who write their own scriptures and teachings will fall into this hell of no respite.
The Ox Hell originates from the "King Sutra" and the "Law of the Bodhisattva's Original Vows Sutra." The main sins are the destruction of animal life, killing animals with cruel methods, violating the principles of nature, offering sacrifices with poisonous tongues, disrespecting the words of heaven and earth and spirits, and openly promoting violent culture for profit. These sinners will be tied inside a bronze bull. Then, fire will be used to burn the bull from below. When the bronze bull is burned, you inside will be roasted and your tongue will be burned.
The twenty-first layer is the Dragon Hell, originating from the "Pure Sutra" and the "Law of the Bodhisattva's Original Vows Sutra." It punishes those who pollute water sources, poison people, create disasters, and merchants who sell poisonous food and products. All these people will fall into this hell. This Dragon Hell is filled with water, mud, and poisonous insects. The entire person will be submerged in it until their organs rot. The demons will also force you to drink the poisonous water.
The twenty-second layer is the Mirror Hell, originating from the "Earth Store Bodhisattva's Original Vows Sutra" and the "Law of the Bodhisattva's Original Vows Sutra." It specifically deals with hypocrites, two-faced people, and those who pretend to be patient but are inwardly malicious. These sinners will be forced to stand in front of a giant mirror. The mirror will reflect the person's dark deeds and inner thoughts throughout their life. Each time their inner thoughts are displayed, they will collapse once, and their soul will shatter once.
The twenty-third layer is the Ultimate Hell, originating from the "Supreme Induction Sutra" and the "Law of the Bodhisattva's Original Vows Sutra." It punishes those who betray their relatives and benefactors, destroy their lineage, do not think of preserving their heritage, and harm their family members. These people will be pressed by demons into the ground, with their skin, heart, eyes, and joints being pierced. After their bodies are completely blurred with blood, they will recover and be crushed again.
The twenty-fourth layer is the Foot Hell, originating from the "Earth Store Bodhisattva's Original Vows Sutra" and the "Law of the Bodhisattva's Original Vows Sutra." It punishes human trafficking, child trafficking, and forced prostitution of women and children. The punishment involves the sinner being hung upside down by their feet, and demons using giant foot knives to cut from their heels, severing their feet. With each cut, your feet will grow back, and then be cut again. Human trafficking of one person...
People are in this 1500 to 2000 organized human trafficking, which is 3000 to 5000 years. The 25th layer of hell, the "Heart Hell," presents a distorted image of hell and the corresponding actions of physical labor and money protection. These actions are betrayal of family affection, killing parents and children. If family members harm their closest relatives for inheritance, use power and money to destroy their own families, then this person will be dragged out from the depths. Then some evil spirits will take a stone and smash the heart, and then use iron wire to sew you up. After that, they will continue to crush it. The heart will be shattered once. The scenes of family members who once hurt you will be replayed. It is also recorded in some versions that the hearts will be stimulated once. All the relatives' zeros will be marked out for you, even your neck will be scared like this.
The 26th layer, "Fetal Cloud Hell," originates from the "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vows Sutra" and the "Dharma Talk on Eradicating Sin and the Sutra of Children's Recitation." There is also physical labor and money protection. Those who abort fetuses, cause miscarriages, and still sell them as fetuses will be entangled. Every day, you will hear ghosts crying in your ears. This person will be trapped in their own blood, and thousands of ghosts will possess them. Once possessed, they will be thrown around, saying, "I don't want you!" This is hell.
"Dragon Hell" teaches how to buy char siu bao. Sorry, this time the char siu bao or har gow is for your parents, elders, or to harm the reputation of relatives in public. All will fall into this "Dragon Hell." The physical labor and money protection, and the "螺胖徒" (likely a mistranslation or specific term) will bind the sinner with a giant dragon, like a large crab, binding their limbs. Then, the hellfire water will be used to steam you until your flesh and skin are dried. The sound of dripping water, the sound of the water dripping from steaming, is like the tears of your parents dripping down. After steaming, you will be taken out and laid flat. Then, each time you are steamed again, your parents who were once treated poorly will speak in your ears, recounting the scenes of when you hurt them. "Ah, don't hit, don't hit, father!"
The 27th layer, "Snake Hell," is mainly for those who use others' trust and strength to engage in illegal activities. Then, some hellfires that are like trees will entangle their limbs and enter their bodies, causing them to suffer.
The 29th layer, "Falling Stone Hell," targets those who forcibly occupy houses, steam them, demolish them, destroy feng shui, and damage family relationships. These people will stand at the edge of a cliff, and giant stones will continuously roll down. These stones will crush their limbs and skulls. After being crushed, they will be restored, and then the stones will roll down again. At this moment, the family members will appear on a mountainside, watching you being rolled by the stones, and will clap their hands and say, "Good! Die!"
The 30th layer, "Chilling Hell," originates from "Taishang Ganying" and "Bu Chao." It is for those who deliberately delay, procrastinate, neglect, and affect the fate and interests of others. They make empty promises to relatives and friends for a long time, shirking responsibility. This person will be in an extremely cold region, attacked by fierce winds, and their skin will be cut by ice blades. Their limbs will be unable to move. Their hearts will freeze. They will be repeatedly made to experience fear and betrayal.
The 31st layer, "Poison Hell," also originates from "Bao Chao." It is for poisoning, polluting water sources and land. These people will be punished. In that place, every day, you will be forced to inhale the poisonous gas you once created. Those who were harmed by you will emit black smoke and surround you, scolding you until your spirit collapses.
The 32nd layer, "God Hell," originates from "Bu Chao." It is the "Electric Hell," specifically for those who deceive sentient beings by impersonating gods and spirits. This sinner will be trapped by thunder and lightning, struck day and night. They will deliberately strike your tongue, pack your throat, and strike until it is烂 (rotten/torn).
The 33rd layer, "Desolate Hell," originates from "Wang Jing" and "Rou Li Bu Chao." The corresponding sins are desecrating graves, having no flesh in the corpse, not respecting parents, not respecting ancestors, causing family members to be unwilling to go to the grave, and even burying their own ancestors in a feng shui location or on a dragon脉 (vein). All these will lead to hell. Alas, if you are human, you are wrong. Are these dragon veins and these places for your family to collide? Your family should be buried in a place where they can rest in peace.
The 34th layer, "Hell," originates from "Shang Gan Ying" and "Rou Li Bu Chao." It is for those who commit crimes, spread evil heresies, deceive sentient beings, and are greedy for food and drink. They will use hot iron hooks to hook them. It is likely that the translation above is different.
The 35th layer, "Gazing Hell," originates from "Wang Jing" and "Rou Li Bu Chao." It is for those who are evil and unrepentant, knowing they are evil and deliberately doing so, obstructing good deeds, attacking the righteous, being cruel to the innocent, and enjoying the torment of life. After you die, the evil deeds you committed in life will be replayed like a movie. You will be forced to watch these scenes until you are terrified. There will be no salvation, no Buddha will save you, no one can save you.
The last layer, the 36th layer, "Zero Hell!" This originates from "Chao." After experiencing the above hells, if there is still no remorse, humanity is completely extinguished, life is like dirt, and good is completely denied. Then, you will be directly shattered, your soul will be wiped out, and your soul will be unable to reincarnate in the future. In the future, you will not even have the qualification to be reborn, and you will directly descend to the lower realms to become the lowest form of life. Alas, finally finished talking about these 36 layers of hell. That is the grand scene. After you finish watching, you will know what's what. Do you think these hellish studies sound like something the Buddha would say? If we think about it with normal logic, you know that the Buddha would not say these things. So why do these scriptures, especially the "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vows Sutra," contain so much of this content? Where does it come from? First, let's analyze this "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vows Sutra."
This scripture is very popular among the Chinese folk. However, it is also very controversial. Most scholars believe it is a dangerous scripture. Why? Because this scripture only has a Chinese version. The folk also have the "Dizang Sutra of Ten Thousand Wheels," but this is not the one. This scripture is a translation by Xuanzang, which scholars recognize. Because it is not only that you can find a version in one language, but you can also compare it with different languages to see its origin. The core figure in the "Ksitigarbha Sutra of Ten Thousand Wheels" is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is an ascetic. That is, he himself is not a disciple of the Buddha. He has the status of an ascetic. Moreover, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has great compassion for the Earth, that is, the world we live in. He said he wants to endure suffering in this world, not like other Bodhisattvas, such as Guanyin Bodhisattva. She will endure suffering in the Pure Land in the future. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said, "No, I will endure suffering in the Earth," that is, in this world we live in, endure suffering. That is, of course, they will not say "Earth." They will endure suffering in the Saha world, that is, in our land, endure suffering. It is truly a place like hell, with no escape. He likes to endure suffering because it is too difficult. I would rather go to other realms, such as the Pure Land, and then come back to help the sentient beings of this land, rather than endure suffering in this world. But Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has a preference because he himself is an ascetic. "I will not enter hell, I will not become a Buddha." I am telling the truth. The land is roughly like this. It is not that there are no Bodhisattvas. Why did Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva make such a vow to endure suffering in the Saha world? Because the Buddha, Shakyamuni, also made a similar vow, which is that he also had to endure suffering in the Saha world. Then, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva heard this and felt very moved. So he said, "I will also follow the Buddha's actions and endure suffering in this Saha world." Therefore, in other Buddhist concepts, people like Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva because Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva guards our Saha world. It is not like other Bodhisattvas who feel it is too difficult and are not suitable to go to the Pure Land to enlighten sentient beings. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva comes from the south, that is, from the south of India. He has also used various methods to enlighten sentient beings. This is roughly the content of the "Ksitigarbha Sutra." It is about these things. And what we are widely circulating among the folk now, the so-called "Dizang Sutra," which only has a Chinese version, the "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vows Sutra." What does this "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vows Sutra" say? It says that before the Buddha entered Nirvana, he entrusted the Saha world to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Yes! Ah, I am getting more and more finished. Alas, before he came to this world, the Earth, the Saha world, was entrusted to you. You come and enlighten sentient beings. Only you can enlighten them, others cannot. I am the only one. You help me be an intermediary, watch over this world until the future Buddha is born. Then you hand it over to him. Thank you. I am ready to drink the poisonous mushroom soup. That's it. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva received this entrustment from the Buddha. This passage is not in the "Ksitigarbha Sutra of Ten Thousand Wheels." Besides adding a very good opening for Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the remaining content of the "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vows Sutra" talks about the retribution of karma. For example, if you do this and that, you will fall into such and such hell, and the hells have such and such names. It also talks about how Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva teaches sentient beings. It is about rituals. How do you worship Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva? Then you will have merit. I teach you things, and if you follow these scriptures to do them, you will accumulate merit. If your relatives have died, their sins committed during their lifetime are not important. If you follow these rituals, it can help your deceased relatives to be reborn. For example, if they were originally going to suffer for 10,000 years, but now because of your help, they might suffer for 9,000 years. But if you ask your son to help them, to help them chant my name, then maybe it will be 8,000 years. If you ask your father to help chant, then it will be 7,000 years. If you ask your mother, your grandmother, your great-grandmother, then it will be 2,000 years. If you happen to know someone who can chant for them. Well, congratulations to you, my fellow human beings. This time, you may have the opportunity to directly... Aren't you surprised? If you are still alive, and you are still alive, then you can chant my name in front of them, Ksitigarbha, I love you. If you chant these seven sentences, you will gain more merit. It's actually very good. You can calculate it yourself and help them reduce their suffering. Isn't it very helpful to help them reduce their suffering? I don't know. If you chant my name, those ghosts and spirits will protect you. Normally, if you don't chant my name, those ghosts will scare you. But once you chant my name, the ghosts will know, "Oh, it's one of ours. It turns out you are." Also, if your child is followed by ghosts, harassed by ghosts, or scared by ghosts while taking a bath, as a parent, if you help them chant the "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vows Sutra," even if they are finally killed by a ghost, or scared to death while taking a bath, they will have a good outcome. They can also be reborn into a good family. Also, when you chant the words "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva," many spirits will watch over you. Alas, don't you think it's cruel? That's right, that's the universal light of Buddha. Also, the "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vows Sutra" can directly transcend those ghosts and spirits who are hostile to you, so that they can no longer bother you. Ksitigarbha, I love you. Ksitigarbha, I love you. That's right. That ghost will be transcended. Also, if a baby is born with a rare disease, it's not important. If you chant "Ksitigarbha, I love you, Mommy, let's walk," it's really curious. This scripture and us before...
Regarding the differences of the Earth Store Sutra, it can even be said to be a creation, a scripture created by the Chinese themselves. So why is it called a "dangerous scripture"? It's not that this scripture is necessarily false, but rather because of three reasons.
First, its translator did not translate this scripture. This book appeared in the early Ming Dynasty, and in the literature before the Ming Dynasty, there are no records of this scripture.
Now, here, knowledge needs to be supplemented. In ancient times, it wasn't that you could just translate scriptures as you wished. For example, like Master Xuanzang, he obtained the emperor's son's permission to translate scriptures. Without the emperor's permission, you could not arbitrarily translate and publish such books. Therefore, official scriptures are usually recorded in historical records, but this one, the Earth Store Bodhisattva's Original Vows Sutra, was not found, nor did any other evidence show that it originated from India. Furthermore, the translator of this scripture is not found among the names of the Buddhist scriptures he translated, and this scripture is also not found.
When we look back at the correct scriptures, the Earth Store Ten Wheels Sutra, it does not explicitly mention that the Earth Store Bodhisattva is specifically in charge of hell, but this book does. We even believe that the Earth Store Bodhisattva came from here. So, what problems have arisen?
We need to mention a religion that appeared during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, called the Three Stages Religion. It is a product of the "sleepy" era. It was founded by a Dharma Master in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Why is it called the Three Stages Religion? It is because it divides the world into three stages. The first is the stage of the Right Dharma when the Buddha was alive. The second stage is the stage of the Image Dharma after the Buddha's death. And the third stage is the stage of the Decline Dharma long after the Buddha's death, which is what we often talk about, "Oh, the Decline Dharma period is here again, every year is the Decline Dharma period, it's so scary!" Listen to Master Xuanzang. In the Northern Wei Dynasty of the False Jin period where he was, he already said that it was the Decline Dharma period. Yes, thousands of years have passed, and it is still the Decline Dharma period. The Decline Dharma has not even ended yet. Are you very surprised, everyone? But don't worry about it. In any case, its religious concepts deeply influenced later Buddhism.
So, what does the Three Stages Religion talk about? It talks about the Bodhisattva of the Earth Store. This sect emphasizes and says that the end of the world is a certainty, meaning that the Earth will be destroyed. But you don't need to be afraid, because we have the Earth Store Bodhisattva, so we are not afraid of destruction. You are good. You common people hear that our Earth is about to be destroyed. Why do I see you still holding pinwheels and playing? Aren't you afraid? You buy escape tools, gas masks, and bags of rice. You don't need to be afraid of the Earth Store Bodhisattva. Therefore, in the end of the world and the Decline Dharma period, only the Earth Store Bodhisattva can save the common people. This concept is actually derived from the Three Stages. And these views are not mentioned in the Earth Store Ten Wheels Sutra. The Three Stages directly turned the Earth Store Bodhisattva, who had a Buddha's vow of universal salvation, into a savior of hell in the Decline Dharma period.
The Three Stages even say that if you are still chanting mantras and chanting this sutra in the Decline Dharma period, and not chanting to the Earth Store Bodhisattva, then, sorry, you are going down the wrong path. So, no one will save you, and you will go to hell, unless you repent and start chanting to the Earth Store Bodhisattva, then the Earth Store Bodhisattva will save you.
So, in fact, I personally do not oppose the Earth Store Bodhisattva. The Earth Store Bodhisattva did not say these things. It was the Three Stages Religion that re-created the Earth Store Bodhisattva through its rituals. Later, the impression became deeper and deeper among the common people. We even no longer call the Earth Store Bodhisattva the Earth Store Bodhisattva today, nor do we call him the Earth Store King Bodhisattva, or the Earth Store King. This king directly gave the control of hell to the Earth Store Bodhisattva. He is the king of hell, which means directly associating the Earth Store Bodhisattva with hell. The "Peanut" of the Earth Store King in the fifth paragraph, meaning it became more and more popular, mixing things from other religions into these rituals. The Three Stages Religion is actually a typical cult system, because it promotes fear and greed.
First, it tells you that the world will be destroyed. Then, it tells you that after the world is destroyed, all people will go to hell. Well, then, after going to hell, the only person who can save you is the Earth Store King. So, how can you get to the Earth Store King? You need to repent, you need to go to the temple, you need to do good deeds, you need to offer incense, you need to make offerings to the Earth Store Bodhisattva, and to real people. This is a typical psychological manipulation. First, scare you, then ask you for money. The positioning of this religion's product is the Earth Store King, the only savior who can transcend hell and the world, the leader of the Three Stages Religion. And its target audience is the common people, especially those who have lost loved ones, fear karma, and are blind. Its marketing strategy is to "farm and hear," meaning to write touching and emotional stories.
"Oh, look at Mu Lian, he saved his mother in the same way. He knew his mother had gone to the realm of hungry ghosts, so he went to her grave every day and night, singing and singing. 'The emptiness is vast, the moon is bright, and the relative!' Oh, it's truly moving to heaven! After singing this song, his mother no longer had to be a hungry ghost and could eat white rice and char siu. Wow, the power of this song is so strong! In the future, we might sing this song at Dharma assemblies to reduce people's reliance on this kind of belief." Then, many ritualistic products were created, such as "transference of souls," "appeasement of grievances," "invention of merits and demerits," and "copying of debts." Not only that, but it also deepened people's fear through detailed descriptions of hell, constantly circulating scriptures and worshipping idols.
So, from this perspective, the belief in Earth Store is not accidental. It's just that the Earth Store Bodhisattva unfortunately became the central figure of this commodity. In fact, all gods can be packaged in this way and then sold. Although the Three Stages Religion was regarded as heresy after the Tang Dynasty, the methods it invented have always influenced later generations, and influenced them very deeply. Later texts like the Ksitigarbha Sutra of the Ten Wheels and the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vows Sutra completely adopted the concepts of the Three Stages. It can be said to be a seamless connection, continuing to control people's minds and bind their morality through fear and greed. The emergence of these beliefs has eroded the depth of original Buddhist practice, which emphasizes self-cultivation. These beliefs have become formalism, relying on rituals or helping others to do good deeds. That is, since someone can do good deeds for me, I don't need to cultivate or practice. I have money, so I can find someone to do it for me, to cultivate for me. Right? Can you imagine people turning what the Buddha said into KPIs? That is, accumulating merits is nothing, right? It's not about being lazy, right? In fact, this practice, like Western theories that use hell as a tool for punishment, is completely detached from the original teachings of Buddhism. And as for the Ksitigarbha Sutra, it is even more outrageous. It extensively uses emotional appeals, threats, and manipulation to influence people's psychology, and even shapes the Chinese society's imagination of hell and retribution.
So, in my definition, this book is not a sutra, but a book that leads people to superstition. It is a guide. One of the reasons why Asia is so superstitious is because of these thoughts and beliefs that obscure the truth. The publication date of this book is between 121 and 150 AD, during the Guanghe period, and even the author is unknown. Its famous title is "The Great Praise of the King of Desire," meaning, "You believe these things? Yes, I'm writing them, I'm telling them now. Don't you believe them?" The Ksitigarbha Sutra has many different circulating versions, some even with illustrations. Moreover, people widely distribute this book in Buddhist temples and ancestral halls to allow people to repent and reflect. So, don't say that this Ksitigarbha Sutra, although not a sutra and not a correct scripture for salvation, its influence even surpasses many official scriptures. Think about the "Eighteen Levels of Hell" in Tiger Cannon Villa. You know how deeply it has influenced the common people. And one of the reasons I dislike this book the most is that it magnifies small mistakes in life into fatal karma, creating dependence on fear and greed. It exploits the moral conscience and fear in everyone's heart. It is what I have always opposed. Acting out of fear, the Ksitigarbha Sutra, in order to make young children and uneducated people understand, has drawn numerous illustrations in different eras to meticulously depict scenes of ghosts and gods beating your head, opening your body, and blood flowing. Its visual impact is even more direct than words, able to penetrate people's minds. Countless temples and Buddhist halls constantly depict such terrifying paintings or print such images to strengthen the belief that hell truly exists. Moreover, the punishments it preaches are often related to political indoctrination and are punitive. For example, if someone lies, they will go to hell. Oh, if a woman has more lovers, she will go to hell. Do you have a mother? Do you have a grandmother? Do you have a daughter? This is typical thinking. Can you imagine a Buddhist saying these things? You can't even achieve basic gender equality. Oh, if you criticize Buddhism, you will go to hell. Then you are a gangster. I think, to put it bluntly, even if I cursed in front of the Buddha, when the Buddha was alive, he wouldn't say, "Wow, teacher, you're going to hell this time." The Buddha would just smile. He would only feel that I was not enlightened and feel pity for me. He wouldn't even have the thought of criticizing me. I haven't seen the Buddha, and I've been away from the Buddha for thousands of years, but I can infer that the Buddha is such a person. But you people, you don't know? It's because you deliberately twist it. These are the true Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and what these scriptures preach and depict is just a petty and narrow view. From this point alone, we can infer that these scriptures are not telling the truth. The degree of absurdity is such that even if you have parents, you wouldn't believe it. To this day, it is 2025, and there are still many masters and many people preaching about hell, hell, hell, hell, hell, even saying that they can go to hell to visit hell, and that they have seen ghosts and relatives in the underworld. Oh my god, life is already enough. Why do we still need to use these things to escape everyone's inner turmoil? In ancient times, powerful and wealthy people could do whatever they wanted, and the law could not implement justice. So, using these methods to act, I can actually understand. But today, shouldn't we put all our energy, or more energy, into building laws, rather than creating fear? To this day, people are still using these kinds of fears to scare ignorant people, making them afraid to go out on the 14th of July. Is doing this really good? Making a person superstitious and handing over their destiny to a wealthy master, do you really think doing these things is right? In my eyes, you are all trash. Perhaps you disagree with my way of expressing myself in this episode, perhaps you think I am too...
Have you ever thought about what kind of people in this world today are truly following religion, and what kind of people are still remembering these signs of mine? I feel I am truly ignorant and shortsighted, because I am only joking with you, while they are treating you as a joke. True liberation from hell should begin with you no longer fearing hell. It is already 2025, we should abandon these outdated beliefs. We should no longer act out of fear of doing evil, but rather act out of reason. I hope those of you who have come here can seriously think about this question. Please do not mistake superstitious activities for true faith. True faith always originates from the elevation of thought and inner peace. It will absolutely not be fear. How can you expect a person who has achieved enlightenment to have a heart full of fear? Do you see the hearts of Buddhist followers full of fear? Do you see the heart of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva full of fear? Do you see the heart of Jesus full of fear? Do you see the heart of the Lord full of fear? Yes, but why does the religion you believe in still propagate fear? Is this point not worth you reflecting on, not worth you pausing to think about what you are doing now? Although I do not agree with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva himself promoting fear, there is one sentence I strongly agree with. That sentence is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's vow: "Hell is not empty, I will not become a Buddha; sentient beings are not liberated, I will not attain enlightenment." This sentence is very moving. It is a great source of inspiration, a great... Actually, we just need to think rationally. A person who would say such a sentence, would they use fear to manipulate you? The whole thing fundamentally does not make sense. In the scriptures, in my opinion, perhaps only this sentence is true. Okay, this episode that has caused so much suffering is finally over. I actually did it with all my heart. The reason is that I know even if I make many more episodes with the same content, there will still be a large number of people in this world who continue to believe in these fear-mongering ideas. I do not ask you to completely agree with my views, but I hope that during these few hours of the program, you will have at least one minute to rethink what you have believed in. Just this one minute is enough. I hope this spark, this tiny particle, can make your future life better. Alright, the time for this episode is almost up. We will immediately move on to the review section of the previous episode. Let's calm our minds and get into a relaxed state. Congratulations to Andy for contributing 15 minutes. I think, teacher, you should put these aside. If it's a series, maybe there will be some religious people who will come to bother me. This episode, I can consider it to be relatively mild, meaning compared to today's episode. I feel today's episode is simply the most intense. It should be more than just a mild punishment, I think I will be criticized again. The power of this episode is not inferior to the episode about the history of major punishments. I feel that everyone often misunderstands, thinking that I am against religion, that I am very anti-religion. Actually, no. Although I am not a follower of religion, I personally, in terms of ideology, still agree with the philosophy of religion. And I like to speak the truth. I don't like to beat around the bush. You can't just say things vaguely. You really have to speak out. Otherwise, in this world, you will only hear one voice. You will only hear the voice of the fourth person, "Qi Xiang Tou Xiang," right? Silver is the sixth. Sis says she's coming back to comment. Thank you, thank you. AW says "seconds." Thank Jackson for saying "first incense." Which one am I? Ninth place. Tenth P says in the books "On Becoming Smarter" and "How to Become Smarter," there is an example of a "gold coin" and a "silver coin." Ten half-dollar coins and five dime coins. Because it's not stated that gold coins are definitely more expensive than silver coins, maybe ten half-dollar coins are the gold coins, and five dime coins are the silver coins. So the answer might have two levels. Okay, this thinking is not bad. We should indeed question the standard answer. Well done. Li says "first incense, first time!" I want to say, Qi Hao Shi, you are really great. Thank you. Thank you very much. You can feel the praise from the beautiful girls. Really great, really great. Olive, thank you for falling. You usually don't finish. You've finished. Being in the top 20 is already very impressive. This says thank you for the support. Xiao says "insert incense first." Thank you for your support. Har witch says "listening during vacation is great." Yes, it's a holiday. No matter what, Bian says "first." No matter what, even if I only listen to the program every day, even if the content is like this, I want to continue to blindly support you. And I want to supplement for you. The war is about Billy's personality integration. Because of social problems, he was sent to Lima Hospital. Due to resource issues, there were no suitable doctors there. So the treatment method was to rely solely on electricity and psychiatric medication, causing his already integrated personality to split again. The situation is somewhat similar to before, in that prison. I read the book "24 Billy" three times. Oh, thank you for the supplement. Because I haven't experienced "Billy's War," I thought it was mainly about his marriage and happy life. Oh, it turns out it's still so tragic. Also, if I were to listen to it alone today, regardless of whether the content is good or bad, I should declare that our fate is almost over. At that time, you should not blindly support. It's sincere, sincere. Perhaps this path has already ended. We must bravely walk a new path, because people change. Besides blindly supporting ourselves, we cannot blindly support anyone, including myself. I am saying this sincerely. If one day, I am no longer the me of today, and I betray my values of today, I think it is possible. But does that mean that what I say at this moment, at this time, will become bad because I become bad in the future? It will not. You can continue to remember the good, but you should abandon what can no longer provide you with nourishment. That is the best for you and society. Only then will we not fall into superstition. Do not blindly support. We should re-examine every day: should I still believe in things today? I welcome everyone's support, and I also welcome everyone to leave. Please do not place your life on me. I am very touched by your love. So I also hope to give you something truly good. Jon says "keep it up." Thank you. This says "long time no see, Xiang." Which place am I? You are 19th. This says "recently I don't want to add to the teacher's burden, so I leave fewer comments. It's rare to see such an early comment. I'll leave a comment first and then listen. Keep it up, keep it up." Thank you all. Thank you for paying attention. These details are really so much. Thank you. Finally, there's something to watch. Which place am I? You are 20th. This says "welcome everyone." Zhao Ming says "internal debt." Wow, really. Welcome, welcome. So happy. It's the first time I've heard from a friend who has listened to everything. Welcome, welcome. Leave more comments when you have time. This says "forget it, don't know me anymore." Look, if you can understand, it proves your age. Haha. This says "support first." Thank you, of course, I'll insert it first. Sorry, it's inserting incense first. Sorry about that. This says "poisoned by Teacher Chen Nuo's heart." Chen Nuo's heart is too much. Haha. Wei Han Ming says "28th." Finally, there's a winner. I really like this episode. I listened to it twice. The second time I listened at double speed. It felt like challenging my hearing. Yes, you won't be able to turn back. If you're used to listening to those voices, you won't be able to go back. You'll feel that my current speed is slow. Randon says "38 minutes to offer incense. Which place can I be? You should be 29th." This says "check-in." Torry says "support, support." Sha says "32. Incense. Support first. I'll comment after listening. I won't say much after listening. Blind support. Done, done. I won't bother you anymore. I need to keep listening." I'm so happy to hear you read my comments. It really feels like a lottery, like a radio DJ reading their listeners' messages, like taking calls. It's happening, it's happening. Yes, not only do you feel your wish is fulfilled, but I also feel mine is fulfilled. Actually, I used to really want to read letters on the radio, but I never had the chance. I didn't expect to have the opportunity to do this now. So we have mutually fulfilled each other's wishes, right? This is Markc's 3rd heart. This says "I can't believe I reported Chen Zhuang back to offer incense. I listen to you every day. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your support. Remember to click the incense." Thank you, thank you for your appeal. You can help click when you have time, but if you are driving and it's inconvenient, please do not risk it for the sake of clicking. There are other drivers. Dave says "first comment. I love listening to you talk about books. Support, support." Thank you. Welcome. Cheng De says "just now I thought of an example. And intelligence quotient. It was once said that those who brag about themselves are all failures. Initially, psychologists tried to test children of different ages and then re-educate them. But some people mistake IQ for intelligence itself. They only tested themselves. A test is just a test. Just like younger children in the developmental stage can easily get higher scores, especially girls who develop earlier, so they have an advantage. Moreover, there are also differences between cultures. The analogy of fingers and... really answers many contradictions. Thank you for this information. Yes, I agree. That is, charm is that it has a lot of critical thinking. And this thinking allows us to see the essence of many things more clearly. This is also why I have a good impression of Buddhism. The analogy of fingers and... is really great. SAT says "the map is usually the majority in society. Can it be called mainstream? But people nowadays generally lack thinking. And most people have their so-called fixed maps, but how many people can see a different map? The difficulty is the same as changing a person's values. It's the same. That is, we need to go against the mainstream, but we also need to make society understand and tolerate the minority. The minority is lonely. The minority is lonely. But even if everyone doesn't believe you, you must believe in yourself. I think this mindset is essential. There are also posts. AI says "reporting that I crossed 12,000 kilometers to anel. The food and environment are very good. Highly recommended. That night, there was also Sister Che teaching her private gourmet magic. Thank you for coming. Thank you. You are too thoughtful. My shop cooks fish. Thank you for coming. Hong Kong is 40, the same age as me. Is this really good? Learn to be yourself. Everyone says this. This says "it's like Ling Shuo's words are very attractive. I guess he must be very handsome. Cute. I'm not handsome. And this is a mature man. So don't have too high expectations. Usually, people with nice voices don't look that great. But thank you for listening. It's nice to listen to. Every episode, I have to start from the first episode and listen again. Listening while reading the text, I can fully feel and imagine the characters' appearances. You've done a great job. Thank you for coming. Thank you. Alas, I haven't written recently. I'm still stuck at episode 15. I wrote up to episode 15. I haven't touched the later ones. This says thank you for your explanation. Take a deep breath. De Gu says "three episodes are released. I'll offer incense before sleeping. Your three episodes are my morning. My eye drops. Today it's reversed. My three episodes are yours. It should be your turn." Sh says "rarely released. Within an hour, I saw incense being offered first. Listening together. The dialogue is very long. There's a lot to listen to. So I've listened to fewer new episodes. There are still 5. Listen slowly. Also, the power of the present moment. It's not what you think. Welcome, welcome. Listen to everything. This says "great. Only one day of continuous rapid progress and change."
Change, I think it's hard for me to decide, because just now it was the teacher who was constantly burning to the sky. By the way, at least this is a training ground for you. I've been listening to your programs since your YouTube subscriptions were only 6 or 7. And it was since you started talking about new spirituality, you went through a transformation of body, mind, and spirit, and then expanded to a larger field. I have been growing with your sharing and content all along. I never thought your channel would suddenly break through to 100,000. You really demonstrated it perfectly, didn't you? What is called hard work and persistence. Seeing this really encourages me. The key is not being willing to take that step, believing in yourself that you can change. As you said, the map of life is always changing, and we have to adjust our direction with the scenery, reposition ourselves, and grow together with continuous effort. If you can do it, we can do it too! Wow, that's great, that's so encouraging. Thank you, it really touches my heart. Thank you, that's right. You can definitely do it. With these two hands and the belief in our hearts, we can do anything. Even if you say I'm a Feng Shui master, I'll say the same thing. This is what I'm talking about. I'm bothering you. Well, I've caught your age range again. I'm saying, there's also a book. Thank you, teacher. Thank you, Mik. Thank you for your support. Thank you for the super thanks. Okay, thank you for being from home. Yes, I'm happy because I'm also from home. You save time commuting and getting tanned. Isn't that right? So, I'll wait for the teacher to talk about the book again. It feels like it's been a long time since I've talked about books. Yes, I feel like I might have been lazy lately, or maybe the books I've chosen lately are actually difficult. I've been talking about a book every two days. Feng Shui, in today's social environment, to completely ignore the map is indeed difficult in actual operation and practice. However, after watching this intangible thing, it is indeed helpful for us to think a little more in our daily lives. Thank you for not disclosing your name, for your super thanks. Mo says, thank you for not reading my name, don't read my name, don't read my name. I've subscribed to your channel for half a year, and I've watched all your videos. This is my first comment. The most terrifying thing is to have your map used by others and then be threatened. First, for example, first, aren't you gay? Why do you speak so harshly? Aren't you supposed to be good? Why don't you have more money? I have to work to support the whole family? Don't you always listen to good things? Why can't you do everything you say? All the books? Can't you share? Why can't you listen to my daily work reports? Ten years ago, I had two invincible maps. Now these two maps have been shattered by being threatened. The first map is me telling myself every day that I am good, that I can do anything. The second map is reminding myself every day to try and not be rewarded. Sometimes your own map needs to be hidden, not to be known by others. Once known, it will be used by others to threaten you. Slowly, you will be lost. Your own map is used to bring yourself out when you are lost and discouraged. But now it has become a threat to others. Today, I really only have one map left, which is the one from my past life. Golden age. Cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry. Oh my, men, right? Sigh, let me give you a clue. Sigh, no, it's really serious. I should actually express sympathy. Sigh, really, but I don't know why I find some resonance in you. Well said, I really think you are practical. Keep the map for yourself, don't tell everyone. I never thought of this angle. Thank you for the inspiration. However, I think the other party, although they may have some critical tone, it might be their way of expression or their habit. At the same time, they are also expressing their demands. For example, sometimes they hope you can be their support. This is also a kind of thing. You can see if you are like this. There is room for maneuver. So there are two things left. Then it really depends on the situation. I don't think we should compare. First, I'm not as good as everyone thinks. I also have my habits, I make decisions, I get confused and stupid sometimes. So there's no need to compare, because we can only meet in this way. Everyone can only see the good side of me. It's hard to see my difficult side, or my unbearable side, right? So no matter what the other person says, you should appreciate yourself. Secondly, I think a family should be shared by everyone, and the burden should not be placed on you. I support you on this point. But of course, if possible, we can reduce the burden on the other party. That's okay. But even for women, I have always maintained the view that you should never rely on men, because this will make you very passive and make you lose your sense of self. Women should have their own lives and their own work. Even if the money you earn is used for everything, you must have your own source of income. Then I think everyone can communicate on an equal footing. Otherwise, women will become a dependent role. Sometimes there are some grievances, you have to endure them. To put it bluntly, sometimes a scumbag husband tells you that you eat my food and live in my house. Then you can't do anything. So you can also, from this aspect, open up to him, let him realize that, actually, I am not alone. Can you do it? Can you do it? I don't know. Is it you who is brainwashing me, or am I brainwashing you? Thank you for your support. Feng says, today I have books to listen to again. Thank you, teacher. Recently, I really like listening to your books from one or two years ago. One or two years ago, it was when you just started talking about books, right? Because before, I mainly did new spirituality programs. But unconsciously, I've really talked about books for two years. Actually, I feel quite amazing about this. Of course, I praise myself, but it's actually a great achievement. I mean, I've talked about over 400 books now. I feel a bit crazy. After that year and a half, maybe I've talked about a thousand books. What is the concept of a thousand books? Many people may never have read a thousand books in their lifetime, right? Wow, this is truly a great achievement. I should give myself a round of applause. Feng says, hearing the comment to this point, prepare yourself. Your worldview is very large and very complex. Just naming the characters is a challenge. Then Cheng says, yes, it's really too big. Other fantasy novels are one or two volumes. But 40,000 is the whole universe. Countless planets, stories spanning tens of thousands of years, combining space, aliens, and genes. If you read the original in English, there are a lot of Latin words. Just remembering all the gene names, not to mention those that have become dark history, their characteristics are already difficult. Wow, this is very important. Wow, this is really something. To be able to create something so deadly is truly valuable. I'm afraid I'm setting the bar too high and don't know how to deliver later. Thank you for your support. Jason says, I won't leave. I'll blindly support you. You plan your map. I believe human planning is not as good as divine planning. Even the arrangements of the black-clothed people may not be beneficial. As long as the destination is clear, walking more detours is like sightseeing. Is it the divine service of life? Thank you for your blind support. I'm happy. But like what I said to no one, we should re-examine the same person every day. This is the most ideal way. Ah, but as the saying goes, it's hard to change nature. I can't change so easily. I think Ha says, the 60th incense stick. Reaching the 60th original. M, keep sharing, come on. This says your voice is really nice. Although sometimes when you make a sound, it's a bit startling. I'm always listening while doing other things. Your constant sharing, sometimes the acting is a bit over the top. Thank you, thank you. Bao Rou Geng, if you are eating or drinking, be careful. It's not that serious, but you will laugh to death. Praising words are really nice. This says, Teacher Chou, this is my first comment. Welcome, welcome, Teacher Chou. Your feelings are reasonable and not biased. The map is just a tool. Many people use it as a rule for life. Then, this is really a disaster. Oh my, will I get diabetes? Thank you for the Hong Kong heavy news that no one gave you. I really want to hear it. I seem to have recorded two episodes. It seems like I recorded them. What is it? You should search on Google. I think there are. Ah, but those programs, I felt they were not good. So I didn't do them later. Because many people have said it. Actually, what I say is similar. I feel, ah, then doing it becomes meaningless. So I didn't do it. Moreover, the information and perspectives of others are very good. Ah, so I feel that the programs from before were really ugly. Ping says, I really like Teacher Chou. He always encourages us to think independently and think outside the box. This is still important, right? I always observe the people around me, and then I find that many people are trapped by a box. Of course, even myself, I also have it. I am also trapped by some boxes. So I always re-examine myself. Am I bound by some beliefs? When I think I am too right, when I believe in something too much, then I will reflect on whether I have a problem. This has become my habit. So I think everyone should be like this. Only then can we improve and not stagnate. Congratulations, fish. I saw the latest news from AnS on IG. Looking forward to it, looking forward to it. I wish your business success. With the guidance of the toe public, you can commit crimes every day. M says someone committed a crime. Thank you all for your support. Thank you all for your support. You are all too kind. I am also happy for fish. Sometimes happiness is really simple. You say, what merit do we have in this matter? Right? Everyone, in a state of no expectation, did something happy, making this place happy. Then I feel the whole thing is complete. The customer is really great. The happiness gained in the spiritual realm is itself a gift. JODC says, wow, this episode is great. I like using maps to metaphorically represent various types of thinking limitations. It's easy to understand. Actually, it's exactly the value you talked about today. So the loyal ones will not speculate, will keep updating. This map says my map is good. You're scaring me. This is a great compliment. It's like I'm just painting a picture. I hope it's your turn next time. Thank you for the super thanks. Ah, let me treat you to a meal first. Thank you. Psychologists and psychiatrists are different. Psychiatrists can prescribe medicine, psychologists cannot. Actually, Billy doesn't really need to sit. It's just that he sits in a psychiatric hospital. It's like the current small ones who only eat those sounds. Thank you very much. Thank you. And thank you for your dog and consultation. Let's not be so polite. This says, at that time, the book was good to listen to. Looking at one thing more, it turns out to be so difficult. To have such thinking. For those who come out of school, it's a great learning experience. I hope my daughter can understand this different aspect earlier. But she's only five years old. There's still a long way to go. Sigh, don't worry. With good parents, children will not be bad. Don't worry, you should have confidence in yourself. SKW says 72. Now reporting. Says thank you. Maples says, reached floor 77 and still haven't passed. I don't dare to spit. But I still can't help it, right? I really want to ask you. In the afternoon, I'm listening and talking. I have no comments, right? Teacher Chen, right?
Husband, opportunity is not Mr. Chen. While filming, I asked a question, "I've been here for a long time, what does 'wet' actually mean?" It means maybe all day long some English pronunciations are not accurate. It's really, really difficult, really, really true, those characters, those death-people. English new words, TBS then UP, it means literally standing up with no paper. This is actually a YouTube term, it means "like," "like" and so on. Then say "wet," I always have difficulty pronouncing these sounds, that is, that "lick" one. The "ha" then? The one considered to be pronounced relatively well, "wet" is really what I always do. It is said that one needs to book free time and then remind oneself. At that moment, I thought of a sentence: "It is because we have life that we have a map to match our lives." But the master is still our soul. Since life has a map, and the map is also equally lost, living like that, unless you are reincarnated. Then I would rather have something deeper, right, well said. Whether there is a next life or not, we treat this as our only life. Whether I am 60, 80, 90, or 100 years old, I will always consider today as the last day. We should cherish the present moment, and only then will we not regret our lives. If we always sigh, "Oh well, I'll do it next time, I'll work hard in the next life," then you have many excuses, right? No matter what, I want to live brilliantly. I also want to fulfill my mission and dreams in this life. Perhaps this is self-hypnosis, but it still makes us full of motivation. These beliefs are beneficial to us. Conversely, those who say, "Oh, it's too late to do anything," "Oh, it's too late to start now," I feel that these kinds of beliefs are toxic to us. Even if they are true, we should not believe them, because then we will be stuck, and we will live pessimistically and arduously. It is truly fortunate to be in this era, with teachers to listen to. Yes, thank you. Thank you everyone for supporting me. This sentence is also for you. I am also very happy in this era, I am also very fortunate, to have you listening to my program, to have you willing to accept my blessings, right? So, the so-called "law of French揮 law," "essence," these eight words are expressed too well. It's really lucky. Congratulations, congratulations, within the first part, "star," then you say you are good. "Head wine," first time up, welcome, welcome. "Spring," then, "teacher's frame," it's a good book I was reading earlier. The "map" is actually a designed scope. When you use it, you just follow its settings. Then, listening to you continue to talk, at 69 minutes and 28 seconds, you say, "Don't cater to the audience's taste." This is exactly another book you mentioned. The book says, "People always lose themselves to conform." And the audience's taste, it's also a map. Actually, just be yourself, and that's it. I support you. Actually, I will watch whatever you say. Oh, these are truly spiritual touches. After listening, there is a surge in my heart. Thank you, thank you. We, this "cross-cross skirt," will slowly practice until everyone becomes a "master of the soul" and can comfort. "Sharp A" says, "Thank you, teacher, for the suggestion on my comment. I will carefully handle my friend's problem." This "snow win" channel is really special. It provides knowledge, encouragement, elevation, and self-reflection. It is also a very warm channel for communication and sharing. Thank you for your creativity, which gives me a space to rest. Every day I will find your old videos to listen to. I also thank you. Thank you. You come to support me every day. Seeing a hometown is a very happy thing. It's one of the things in life. After getting to know you, I have indeed gotten to know and understand myself more. I grow continuously every day. However, in my life, I still rely on "ugly teacher" and a map or GPS to find my true self and the goals I want to achieve. You are welcome to be my "blind husband" for now. This is my eternal. However, wait for you. You must walk by yourself. If possible, you should become a "blind duke" for others. Then this blessing can be passed on, right? Then you say, "How about we go to Hong Kong for dinner and a movie? I'll cover everything." Then you say, "Aren't you doing it in Macau again?" "Oh, I'm sorry, I can't. I've helped you." "Okay, I won't disturb your gathering." Then you say, "It's not easy to pull myself up from rock bottom. I thought I could use my own experience to help friends who are feeling down, but they seem to feel better seeing me more miserable than them. That's why they like to be with me. How should I save myself?" This is human nature. Some people are more outgoing, some are more low-key. Right? We understand human nature. Do you have any priority now? Adjust your state, make yourself more relaxed. You don't have the energy to care about others' emotions yet. Besides, we are all adults. Whether they are happy or not, you are not responsible. If they choose not to be happy, if they choose to use you to enhance their sense of happiness, then this is their problem, it is a problem of their character. You don't need to. And we also need to slowly learn to read. When necessary, we can even make a new friend, or play with one or two friends. Then perhaps there will be some new changes in life immediately. Yes, don't let them be unhappy. Maintain your own emotional state. You just pulled yourself up from rock bottom. You've recovered well. Spend more time, like small animals, taking care of yourself. "MA" then says, "The purpose of learning rules is to break them." This is my advice, but I can't say it in front of students. They have to reach it themselves. Because in most people's thinking frameworks, teachers should not say these profound words. But sometimes I really wonder if people are really like that. It depends on who you know. If you are a dormitory director, the one wearing glasses, then of course you wouldn't say these things. Right? The class advisor doesn't want to say these things either. But if you are not a director, then of course you should strive for independent thinking. Right? Is that what you're saying? "K" then says, "This map thinking is not as detailed as you described." Regarding multiple personalities, search "multiple personalities" on YouTube. It's like, someone left a comment. Ah, thank you, thank you for providing this information. I'll go and see how they are. "Master's Frame," this book, its theme is very good. But, to be honest, I don't know if it's because of the translation. I haven't seriously compared it with the English original, because I read the Chinese version. So I feel that sometimes its examples, its wording, are not clear. It makes me not understand when I read it. So I feel I can't understand it clearly, and it's hard to explain it clearly to everyone. So for some examples, I didn't use the examples from the book. I'd rather understand its meaning and give my own example to explain its meaning. Sometimes, it's like, after giving one example, I'll give many more. Then slowly, the things I dig up become more and more. I remember when I was doing this book, many, many situations like this occurred. So it's really thanks to the translation not being very good. So I have more room for development. "Ah" then says, "Thank you for your sharing. I really like these philosophical topics you talk about." I am a Christian, but I find that the teachings in the church are a bit... I feel they are for conforming to others, but they demand exclusivity. I truly respect other religions. When discussing these topics, I have my own views. So I don't go to church anymore. I also feel that there is a reason why we are called "耶 L" (Jesus). For example, if we go to "deo" (temple), or if we definitely cannot "撞" (collide/disrespect), but we go to "山" (mountain), "路" (road), "老母" (mother), if they are old, wouldn't they ask me to "裝響" (pretend to be respectful/wear bells)? Ask them to do it themselves? My mother has a bit of difficulty entering. If she can't move, she can't do it even more. And my mother, they choose to teach. Wouldn't I also disrespect their thoughts and demands? Is a person like that a Christian? I can't agree. Religion also needs to be lived. The original meaning of religion is to make us better people. It's not to make me like that. I won't do it. When this passage of inner confession is heard, I admire it very much. I strongly support you. I support your way of thinking. Use your own soul to distinguish good from evil. My thoughts are the same as yours. I feel that the original reason for religion's existence is to make us more loving, wise, and empathetic. We actually just need to ask our inner selves when we are struggling with something. Listen to the voice of our inner selves. What do we really want? In fact, all rules, all regulations, can no longer lock us. Just like today's topic. Although I am not a Buddhist, sometimes when I ponder concepts, I fall back into Buddha's thinking. I would think, if Buddha said this sentence, or if Buddha encountered this situation, what would he say? What would he think? How would he teach us? In fact, we can quickly get the answer through reason. So I believe you are doing the same thing. Your heart knows where the answer is. Respect your inner feelings, respect your family's wishes, and don't just follow superficial rules. I don't admire these. I think you are amazing. If I were to encourage you with one sentence, it would be: "True faith is not about confronting others, but about learning to overcome everything with love." If Jesus or God went to the mountain today, what do you think they would do? To respect people, to make them happy, they would follow them to chant scriptures, they would follow their situation. Right? I believe Jesus would definitely do that. He would definitely be with their hearts. This heart has already surpassed many superficial rituals. So I think you are amazing. You are not wrong. Even Jesus himself would not be angry about these things. Right? Although I am not a Christian, I also firmly believe that Jesus would not do this. He might even give you a kiss. Yes, truly, truly. How could a sincere person distinguish these rituals? "MMMA" then says, "I have the same struggle in church, but I don't agree with many things. I say them out loud to avoid unnecessary arguments, because I know in the end there are no winners. Even if I win the argument, they will still do it. I can only come here to learn, because I know there is rational discussion here. For example, you say Christians don't burn incense, and in my view, this should have come from thousands of years ago, when others said they didn't believe in other countries' gods, so there was a need not to follow other countries' religious rituals. I understand this, but these are things from thousands of years ago. Now, burning incense, I feel it's just a gesture of respect. It doesn't mean that by burning incense, you will believe in other religions. So I feel respecting others' customs is not a problem. But they also say that if people know you are a Christian and see you burning incense, it will give them a bad impression. Then, if people see you deliberately disrespecting others' customs, wouldn't that give them an even worse impression? This point is also very interesting. Yes, your discussion is great. Ah, thank you. Thank you for not thinking I am an idiot. You are still willing to chat with me and consider me a friend.
This is a place I am very happy about. Thank you for understanding what my original intention is. I don't hate Christianity; what I dislike is blind faith. So I am truly grateful. Thank you, AER. What about the sharing? Have you gone back to the Disney photo developing shop yet, these little friends? Rossy said, this episode, you really have to watch it. How can you not watch it? It's super worth it. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Rossy, Rone said, regarding the film about algorithms and deduction. Before, I said this is not very good, it will make people unknowingly boxed in. And I myself, I quite enjoy listening to the songs and watching the films you play. And I understand clearly. I have choices. I can choose to listen to other types of songs. I feel that in life, whether it's algorithms, or other maps, values, they are all just references. As long as we clearly understand what this is, and then judge whether or not to believe in this kind of value system, that's enough. You said this book explains it very clearly. This book is very high quality. I greatly appreciate it. When Rony, your passage, I completely agree. The author writes very well, the author is very good. But just by its title alone, it has saved the entire book. Master Dante said, "long" first, what is it? I remember seeing you in the last episode. You are thinking. I haven't posted a book review video for a few days. Is that right? One day apart is like three days, so we haven't seen each other for three days. It's really like nine months have passed. You are right, it's really "long." This one said, 12 minutes and 12 seconds, no more. No one knows me anymore. Goodbye. Nothing else. It's over. You don't love me anymore. This song can be said to be one of my top ten songs that give me goosebumps. You said, are there 100 comments? I don't know, I can't see it anymore. This one said, I will remember. It's true. Honestly. MMA said, the only thing that can be done for this is parents. No one understands their children better than parents. Society should provide more economic and other support to parents, so that they can spend more time with their children and teach them. This is more beneficial for the future of young people, and more beneficial for the entire society. These are called long-term investments. Yes, although it's difficult, it's a very difficult thing, but it is indeed a good direction. No pressure from the big picture. More time for children is itself an investment. Is it? Fisher said, Teacher, hello. Very interesting. You use a "confusion map" to describe it. I want to share something from a few years ago. When I was meditating for ten days, I gained some insights. Even the tables and chairs, every second is changing form, let alone human emotions, moods, personalities, thoughts. Every moment changes. So thoughts arise and pass away. This is the first time I realized what impermanence is. So I have heard of impermanence and also reminded myself that the low points, frustrations, failures, or excitement and happiness of this moment will not last forever. So it's okay to feel what you feel in the present moment. It does not represent your core self, values, or even your true thoughts. So I would describe myself as upgrading myself every day, every moment, updating to the latest state. Whether it's relationships or business status, every experience can train us on how to use this skill next time we encounter similar situations. Today's me relies on how much you give yourself from the world when you are alive. Actually, I always feel that everyone is living for the first time. There's no need to be so hard on yourself. Just treat it like playing a game. There will be difficult levels. Life is more exciting and has more stories because of them. Let me share a recent story about the present moment. My boyfriend recently broke his anterior cruciate ligament. It was his first time in the hospital. Many worries and anxieties came out. I was very scared that after a week, I wouldn't be able to travel to Europe. Afterwards, I could only tell him, three weeks is too far away. I'll think about it today. Why don't you think about the distress? Ask the doctor everything. If you are scared, be scared about when the surgery will be. Maybe in a few days. You feel good. You can even breakdance. That's amazing. Truly a master. Truly a practical person. This belief is amazing. It's getting stronger and stronger, boss. So I am very happy. I feel your current state is very fit. And what you can't see and your current state are a perfect match. Amazing. I hope you continue to strive, continue to soar. And I wish your boyfriend a speedy recovery. Mimi, it turns out to be a historical tour. I also started from a pure heart. It's been a few years. You've been here since those hundreds of thousands. You can truly say you've witnessed the growth of the entire channel. And looking back at many past programs, my expression wasn't so fluent. I've witnessed my own progress. Just like this episode, it's like talking about the 18 levels of hell. Actually, I've talked about it in historical programs before. It's just that I talked about it very briefly. Wow, when I listen to it myself, I feel embarrassed. I really didn't speak well. There was too little useful content. Mostly I was just messing around. So I feel happy to see myself transform from one state to another. It's very encouraging. You've been witnessing this process. Happy. This one said, this episode is spoken too well. The content is coherent and fully responds to the inappropriate remarks from a few days ago. Thank you, thank you for your support. This one said, first, I want to ask, what is your email address? Please ask. I have left an email address for you. Please check it. Thanks. Said, thank you, teacher. Listening to your sharing, I also feel like I've gained something. Although I may not be able to use the map immediately, at least I know I am using a map. It's like I don't understand, I don't understand, but I do understand. You definitely will. Maps can be used. They must be updated. So all maps will be outdated. One day, we will have to say goodbye to them. Even if we don't want to, we have to say goodbye. These are the essences. They are already here. Great. This one said, I haven't listened yet, but looking at the cover, isn't it a masterpiece? Everyone can predict it. You won't. I feel that compared to this episode, the last episode was not as good. I mean, regarding this matter of a masterpiece. God said, a famous quote about sleeping. Leap with your fingers. Don't treat Buddhist scriptures like a folk song to be recited. The finger is just a tool. What we truly need to learn is wisdom. Only then will we become Buddhas. Wow, this passage is too great. I have nothing to add. It's spoken so well. And it's even meaningful. JJ said, it's really great. Teacher, you are very relatable. I just came out of a ten-day retreat at the Vipassana center. Inside, it's all about the Buddha's teachings. Understanding the universe and natural laws. All things arise and pass away. Through objective observation and feeling, it helps us to escape suffering. I myself have no religious beliefs. This is because no single religion can answer all my doubts. I have always wondered why. Why are there things that shouldn't be asked? I haven't deeply researched all religions. I only know that the ultimate goal of religion is to make people understand why they do or don't do certain things, why they go to heaven, why they go to hell. Instead, the Indian teacher clearly conveys that the Buddha's teachings do not advocate for all religions. Openly accepting all religions, but simply treating oneself and the world with compassion. Encouraging independent thinking. Absolutely accepting freedom of will. It's free. It operates on donations. It's not a commercial organization. I saw the latest spiritual course. Those who are interested and have the affinity can learn more online. By the way, if I really had to choose, it would definitely be the big toe. Alas, thank you for liking it. Thank you for sharing. Okay, I feel the whole concept is good. It's interesting. They are asking for this website. Thank you for your sharing. When you read this passage, it's like we are following you into Vipassana. It really creates an image. That's great. Vibi said, the inner dialogue in the first part is like the dialogue in the book I'm currently reading. How to... If you have time, you can take a look. Thank you, thank you e, thank you for your recommendation. B said, this episode is really great. It's like it has opened up a dimension for me. So important. So let's start with Champagne. Thank you for the super thanks. Mon said, a small support. Thank you. Thank you. Okay, listen. Will there be a thinking framework playlist? I specifically made a playlist, didn't I? I actually made a playlist with logical frameworks. It's inside. I'm thinking if I need to make it into an episode. Maybe an hour long. Combining several episodes into one episode. It can be considered a book. Andy said, first, from 2:06 to 2:34, what are those maps? They are people's thinking frameworks. What I mean is that in every field, there are its own rules. In all aspects of life, there are. For example, if I am a man, the map society assigns to me is to be strong, not to cry, to be the head of the family, to be a man. But are these suitable maps for me? School for a student is to be good, to be obedient, to study, to be quiet, to be well-behaved, to be compliant. So, are these frameworks... We can accept these frameworks, we can use these frameworks first. But we need to constantly update them and rethink them ourselves. Are these frameworks really correct? Are they really as they say? Even "Christians cannot burn incense," "Christians cannot do this and that," these are actually maps. But is this map a real map? In real life, we will encounter many things. This map cannot solve them, cannot explain them. So if we rigidly follow this map, the way it teaches us to act, we might fall into a trap. We might go to the wrong place. That's generally what I mean. This one said, when the teaching video comes out, the time is good. The Master accompanies us. My husband drove from home to the mountain, it took 3 hours. The Master accompanied me. Thank you. But I'm cheering for you, Japan. Alas, it's really good. I am now appearing in various parts of the world. I feel it's very surreal. The whole event is me being there, but my voice is there. Can't be a radio DJ? Is that right? Too kind, too great, you are all family. SP said, this time the sharing is more of the early programs. Hey, you don't plan to listen to those embarrassing ones anymore, do you? Let it be. Don't listen anymore. Ger said, "Abide in no place, and you will give rise to the mind." Is that right? I will roughly translate it. The meaning of this sentence is, don't cling to anything, but act, love, and live from your heart. This is something worth our devotion. Thank you, Sandy, for the super thanks. Sandy said, first of all, thank you. I've been listening to you for a few months. Kindness. Thank you very much for the content of this book. I completely agree. Even if you are a makeup artist, you have to update yourself. So your theme, Buddha, I feel a bit uncomfortable. Your content also says to remember well, not to be confined by the maps you give us. Wouldn't the theme be better called "Master Huang Ji Ceng"? Wouldn't it be more attractive? More attention-grabbing? Anyway, it's an attractive theme, isn't it, teacher? It's just a way of expressing it. The Buddha said, people can be punished. You are a good attempt. Thank you for your support. Thank you for your good intentions. Thank you for your reminder. Let me tell you my original intention. Actually, in my heart, I feel that the Buddha is more important than remembering. I'm not saying I'm better than the Buddha. That's not what I mean. But people's attachment to the Buddha is too much. This attachment has turned the Buddha into a god in our hearts. Actually, this hinders our inner practice. I understand. I understand. That title might make you a little uncomfortable. Because that feeling is like on YouTube, asking me to remember YouTube, asking me to give up YouTube. There is a feeling of discomfort. But that's not what I mean. I mean we need to let go of this attachment, even this.
The name, the name of Buddha, this word, we also have to let go. Our attachment to the Dharma, it is actually attachment. I feel that there is a saying that is very well said. And also, earlier there was a sentence, "Let alone the non-Dharma." My title is just a name, it is not a real thing. It is a finger. In the process of our cultivation, in our lives, whether we are constantly writing or not, and our attachments, ultimately we have to let go of even Buddha. Letting go of Buddha is not saying, "Oh, I am so proud, I am so good, I have transcended." It is that we let go of our attachment to Buddha, our attachment to the Dharma. This is a milestone. Buddha is of course a great teacher, but this kind of dependence hinders our progress. So, I first said, I have two reasons for this name. The first reason is that actually the whole theme I want to talk about, actually means this. We should ultimately let go of all maps. Even if my map is very accurate, very beautiful, very classic, we are reluctant to part with it. One day, we will not be a guided person. Am I? I am not considered anything either. So letting go does not truly achieve my meaning. Letting go of Buddha is what Buddha wants to see. Perhaps some people will disagree, but it doesn't matter. I hope to explain my meaning clearly, and I also hope you understand why I feel this way. Thank you Sandy, thank you for your understanding.
So, first of all, can you tell me about the external art of Buddha? Oh, let me confirm if I have seen it before. Sometimes I don't remember those names. Sometimes I have to see it first to know. Oh, it seems like you changed your profile picture yesterday. I wanted to leave a message, but the Wi-Fi was broken, so I couldn't. So, I will talk about what I wanted to say yesterday. Wishing everyone a happy holiday. Did anyone get a haircut? I didn't. But, if someone got a haircut, I think the classmates who got a haircut, I said we are the class pigs, not teachers. But I forgot. I stayed up late last night, the last chance to stay awake, because I fell asleep. So I was making notes there. Then I suddenly thought of a method. I cut a circle from the paper and filled it with red. Then I put some double-sided tape on it. After that, I secretly went into mummy's room. I quickly stuck the red circle on it. After that, I quickly left. I went back to my room and saw that she didn't notice. So I took a picture of her. Oh my, it looks like a clown, it's really funny. "24 Hours with Billy" is really good to watch. Ah, this is youth. This is being with friends. Looking at the relationship between you and your mother. Okay, it brings back all the memories of when I was young. I also like to prank my dad and my mom. I prank my dad more. It means my mom is not that playful. It means I am very naughty. It means, you know, children also have some mischievousness. It means I used to wash dishes here. Then I would go to the back and pull down my pants. Then expose my buttocks. It's really damn funny. Actually, I also...
And also, when I was young, I used to play hide-and-seek with them. I would tell them to find me in the house. Actually, the house is not big, right? There are only a few places to hide. So I always hid in the closet. So my daddy could never find me. So I thought, "Am I stupid? He can never find me." But actually, after I grew up, my daughter always likes to ask us to find her in the house. She likes to play hide-and-seek. She also deliberately hides so we can't find her. So I understood then. It turns out that daddy deliberately couldn't find me before. So I don't know, I don't know if your mother deliberately let you prank her, or if she was really sleeping soundly. Ah, enjoy this time. It's a good memory. But when you have a family, you will feel that these are all happy memories.
Pulle said: "Hello, is there a chance to talk about "Red Dream"? I think this story is very interesting and I am looking forward to you telling it." Ah, I feel a bit guilty. I didn't plan to talk about it before, but ah, I found it difficult to talk about because the characters are complex, and you really need to do some research to talk about it well. I organized it for a while, and then I felt like I was talking nonsense. So I put it aside for now. "Red Dream" is actually a book that I have never dared to talk about, because it is really difficult to talk about. Give me some time to research it. Rocky said: "Hey, you are so funny. Ah, I want to hear you talk about sex." "Sex will be discussed later." Then he said: "I just listened to episode 17. It's good. Your voice is different from the early programs." I usually record in the car because the sound quality is not as good. So the voice is not as clear. Then he said: "I appeared again because you ignored other children. The main reason is that I am following "Earth's Strange Cities" and "History of Lies." So I appeared in this persona. But I understand. Thank you for sharing your hardships. I understand because of the platform and the place. This time I know you have found your favorite direction. Of course, you are welcome. I will always be here. Hahaha. Of course, I know you are well-intentioned. Thank you. Thank you for your continuous support. It's just a small thing that you know. Right? Mimi Jodi, Bruce, Bai, they all said, it's a small thing, right? You haven't done anything yet. From the infinite grievances and the surrounding environment, find a little space to help. My eternity is not coming, it's real.
Let's look at the podcast side again. "Time Flow" said that a while ago, I watched "24 Hours with Billy." Today I want to talk about it again. I am very interested in split personality. For a while, it made me doubt. Where does human consciousness come from? Yes, this is something we may never understand in this lifetime. Right? But all research is valuable. If you are interested, research more. Maybe you will become an expert soon. Maybe you can tell me the answer. Who knows? I also really like "24 Hours with Billy." You actually finished talking about it. You are really amazing. Okay, now it's time. The current time is 1:39 AM. Listen, I have to go. My daughter always says she wants to see ghosts. Last year, I took her once. She is completely not afraid of these things. She feels like it's just playing. Does everyone understand? It's okay. I feel very happy. At least in her heart, she doesn't feel that death or these things are scary or terrifying. I feel that actually, when I was young, at her age, her psychological state was good. I used to watch too many ghost movies, so I was actually very scared. When I was young, I would remember it. For example, when I went to some cemeteries or tombs, I would see those pictures. Then I would have a deep impression. I would always cover my eyes. I would see those pictures, pictures of people I didn't know. Then I would be very scared of many people. My daughter doesn't have this at all. She doesn't think these are scary things at all. She thinks there will be some skeletons dancing. Ah, I think her inner world is very interesting. She really doesn't need me to help her break through hell. So I feel very happy. This matter makes me...
Declaration: I hope that the content of this episode can, to some extent, break through some of your hell, allowing everyone to rethink the meaning of life and the meaning of the afterlife. I hope everyone is no longer afraid of this. I hope everyone faces life positively. Okay, the time for this episode is almost up. If you feel that the information in this book is helpful to you, remember to like this video, subscribe to the channel, or share it. So, like my production. We will see you tomorrow. Bye bye.
