All living things possess spirits, yet humans stand as the supreme spirit among all creation.

 All living things possess spirits, yet humans stand as the supreme spirit among all creation.

Nantai


 

When it comes to heretical superficial Buddhism, a reminder is necessary. Online abound stories of animals blocking roads to save people and released creatures repaying kindness by rescuing humans, invariably concluding that all things have spirits. Such claims may mislead people.

 

Is it true that all things have spirits? Absolutely, entirely correct. Spirits reside not only in animals but also plants. Even stones and tiles, deemed inanimate, carry spirits, albeit at a lower level.

 

How can this truth mislead people? The answer lies in those tales of animal rescues.

 

Such incidents do happen without doubt. Still, would spiritual creatures save people for no reason? Rarely. Humans hold far greater spiritual power. Masters versed in the I Ching and yin-yang principles can predict fortunes yet seldom intervene to save others. Why? If misfortune is one's destined karmic retribution, intervention violates heavenly secrets. Rescue never erases debts; unpaid dues will eventually be settled, merely delaying the karmic outcome instead of resolving it.

 

Even Buddha cannot alter fixed karma, and wise sages never meddle with karmic cycles. How could an animal dare defy heavenly laws and save people out of nowhere if it truly possesses spirituality?

 

Animal rescues do occur frequently, all governed by karma. Those saved are protected by their own past virtuous deeds; ultimately, people redeem themselves.

 

Virtuous individuals are guarded by benevolent deities that perceive past and future. Unable to directly warn humans, these invisible guardians enlist tangible animals to deliver alerts.

 

In essence, these animals act on behalf of protective deities. Do not misdirect gratitude, nor blindly worship animals as personal guardians.

 

Fundamentally, one shall nurture kindness and wisdom, comprehend cosmic truths and laws, and abide by natural rules. Render assistance to suffering animals when capable, and refrain from excessive speculation.

Turn Ningxia Tourism into the One-of-a-Kind "World’s No.1 Cultural Tourism Delight" 【Grateful Ningxia 03】

  Turn Ningxia Tourism into the One-of-a-Kind "World ’ s No.1 Cultural Tourism Delight" 【 Grateful Ningxia 03 】 Nanfai Turn Ningxia Tourism into the One-of-a-Kind " World ’ s No.1 Cultural Tourism Delight" In cultural tourism development, uniqueness comes first. The scope of your uniqueness defines the scope of your dominance. If a tourism feature exists nowhere in the world but here, you hold the trump card of global cultural tourism. This is the core principle. Ningxia ’ s small land area is seemingly a disadvantage, yet Singapore and Israel are also small in size — no one would dismiss them for being tiny. What lies at the heart of the matter? As an ancient saying goes: A mountain gains fame not for its height, but for the immortals dwelling in it; a river gains magic not for its depth, but for the dragons lurking within it. Though Ningxia is geographically small, it becomes boundlessly remarkable with the arrival of the No.1 Iconic Male Figure and World ’ ...

  Выдерживает 1200 ° C , но не благодаря клею ? Эта лента от Beijing Feipufu — честность , заложенная в технологию . В сфере высокотемпературной промышленности есть один тип продукции , где честность ценится дороже , чем характеристики — это самоклеящаяся керамоволокнистая лента . Многие клиенты , впервые беря её в руки , инстинктивно спрашивают : « Сколько градусов выдерживает этот клей ?» Ответ : сам по себе клей не термостоек . Он не предназначен для склеивания при высоких температурах . Тогда зачем он нужен ?

如意金箍棒算什么？且看北京费普福的“捆仙绳”！

 如意金箍棒算什么？且看北京费普福的“捆仙绳”！ 话说《西游记》第三回，美猴王为了寻一件称手的兵器，直闯东海龙宫。那龙王先是差人抬出三千六百斤的九股叉，又奉上七千二百斤的方天戟，猴王皆嫌太轻，连道“轻！轻！轻！” 直到那一万三千五百斤的如意金箍铁棒现世，霞光艳艳，瑞气腾腾，方才入了猴王法眼。悟空耍弄一番，将那铁棒晃成碗口粗细，矗在深海中如擎天之柱，唬得那老龙王心惊胆战，龙子龙孙缩颈低头。 但列位看官有所不知，那定海神针虽能大能小、通天彻地，却有一桩天生的毛病——它只管得住东海的波涛，却耐不住人间的烈焰！ 您想，若是将这宝贝塞进太上老君的八卦炉里，不等老君念咒，那镔铁就得化成一滩铁水。何以故？它终究是个铁疙瘩，怕火！ 可如今，北京费普福工程技术有限公司从“火”里炼出一件真正的宝贝，唤作—— 陶瓷纤维扭绳。 要说这件宝贝，可比那金箍棒厉害多了。金箍棒重一万三千五百斤，搬起来费劲；这扭绳质轻若云，托在掌中浑似无物。 金箍棒怕火，遇着三昧真火便成了烧火棍；这扭绳却是天生的“火中精” ，任凭炉内温度烧到 1050℃，它自岿然不动，神色不改；哪怕短时间急升至1260℃，也不过是洗了个桑拿，身上的那点“热收缩”率，不过是打个哈欠的功夫。 更妙的是，那金箍棒只会蛮力硬撑，而这费普福扭绳却外柔内刚。它用高强的陶瓷纤维（硅酸铝纤维）纺纱扭制，既可如丝线般柔软，随意编织弯曲，用以塞住炉门缝隙、缠住高温管道，滴水不漏；又可内藏不锈钢丝增强筋骨，任你如何拉扯，它自岿然不动。 前些年石棉横行，虽能防火却害人匪浅，像个妖怪害人性命。这费普福扭绳却是绿色环保的“正神”，无毒无害，专门替代那害人的石棉，做真正的“防火英雄”。 当年悟空若不在龙宫寻宝，而是来北京费普福转一转，定要惊呼：“这哪里是绳子？这分明是老孙的护身法宝！拿来堵了火焰山的裂缝，拿来缠了金箍棒的棒头，便是齐天大圣也烧不坏、打不烂！” 这便是： 东海龙宫藏铁骨，不如费普福丝绳。 千度烈焰浑不怕，护得人间永太平。 后记： 诸位若是家里有“炼丹炉”要密封，有“火焰山”要隔绝，不必去龙宫借宝，只需认准北京费普福。这绳子股股扭成，直径从3毫米到150毫米皆有，规格齐全，是您高温密封、隔热保温的“定海神针”！
