“Realize that life and death are like flickering flames, and that suffering is endless. Take the Mahayana Vow to be friend all things. Vow to take on the illimitable suffering of sentient beings, and to lead them all to ultimate bliss.”
Here isa book from Chou Ta-kuan Cultural & Education Foundation, especially about the biography of Chou Ta-kuan, 10 years old, a young poet fighting cancer, had great enthusiasm for life. Even He was born in the pure land, but the spirit he lived on was “love your life and live it happily” ; “be nice to others – respect their lives ; be nice to nature – protect the life of earth”.Give me a lot inspiration about the meaning of life, and how to prepare our self from sickness and death. This book has a lot motivation for people whose still didn’t realize about impermanent, that life and death are like flickering flames, and that suffering is endless. Cancer is biggest number of death in this world, that’s all connected with the change of our nature and the condition of our earth. The pollution, junk food, chemical etc is the reason of cancer. And the suffering because of cancer is endless and Death is the final.
And this is one from a lot beauty poems of Chou Ta-kuan;
Plant TreesChou Ta-kuan
Since that spring we knew about the tumor in my right leg,
We started to plant a tree everyday
At hospitals, we planted a tree of health,
At churches, we planted a tree of love,
At schools, we planted a tree of hope;
Someday,
We are going to plant ourselves as trees,
From one generation to another…
Trees grow to be a forest of health,
Trees grow to be a forest of love,
Trees grow to be a forest of hope.
