The Life Of A Human Being Is Within His One Breathe....
The Life of a human being exists within the process of one breathe.
Once the breathe is stopped, the man will die!
Suppose I were able to live for one hundred years. Indeed, among the millions of people, how many can really live for one hundred years?
Just take an average count of the breathing of a man who can breathe for sixteen times within a minute, then in an hour he will breathe 60X16 = 960 times.
In a day which consists of 24 hours, he will breathe for 24 X 960 = 2340 times. In a year which is 365 days, he will breathe for 365 X 23040 = 8,409,600 times. Then in a hundred years he will breathe eight billion four thousand million times
Every time when I breathe in the air and send it out, I will be losing one breathe ...Oh, poor me, everyday I lose 2,3,040 breaths. In a year I will be losing 8,409,600 breaths. Our lifespan which amounts to tens of years will come to an end when I finished sending out the last breathe.
From here, we can see that life is indeed short and impermanent!
Some people say, "As soon as a child is born, he begins to die",
Indeed, the day we come to the human realm, is also the day when we start walking towards death!
In this Saha World, what is that in life which is really worth our clinging to?
Because I want to be liberated from the Saha World of the five turbidities, I am mindful of the Buddha, "NAMO AMITABHA" May I be born in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss
