Why do you say husband and wife: after a hundred years of tempering, they can help each other in the same boat, and after a thousand years of tempering, they can sleep together? ! ~~!

It takes a hundred years to cross the boat and a thousand years to sleep on the pillow. This is to describe how difficult it is for men and women, old and young, to tie the knot: sharing the same bed in this life is a good deed of 1000 years of practice in the previous life, so it can be seen that it is not a blood and tears in the previous life that can achieve the goal. Matter is not transferred by human consciousness, that is to say, reality is not what you think-quite in line with the logic of dialectical materialist world outlook.

"Help each other in the same boat for a hundred years, and sleep with each other for a thousand years." It is a word "fate". There is life, there is death, there is gathering and there is dispersion, and opportunities are all in one word. * * * It goes without saying that it is not a fate that couples, teachers and students, classmates, comrades-in-arms, neighbors, partners, even neighbors on the train, and even the crew and passengers of the whole train can come together. This is not fate. How can we meet by chance in the vast sea of people? If it's not fate, what is it?

Fate, though revealed by Buddhist scriptures, captures the cognitive things that everyone understands, feels and cannot express. You don't need to be a gifted scholar or an extraordinary saint. As long as you have decades of life experience, no one has such a feeling: people and things are wonderful, neither early nor late, but unintentional. The world is vast in space and endless in time, but people and things like dust and dirt can meet at the same time and place, which is dozens of times more difficult than the gathering of nine planets in space. Many things and opportunities have such characteristics: welcome, avoid! You can't refuse to come, but you can't ask to come. This is not fate. What is this?
