Between birth and death,

Three in ten are followers of life,

Three in ten are followers of death,

And men just passing from birth to death also number three in ten.

Why is this so?

Because they live their lives on the gross level.

He who knows how to live can walk abroad

Without fear of rhinoceros or tiger.

He will not be wounded in battle.

For in him rhinoceroses can find no place to thrust their horn,

Tigers no place to use their claws,

And weapons no place to pierce.

Why is this so?

Because he has no place for death to enter.

 

Lao Tzu - (Tao Te Ching, chapter 50, Translation by Gia-fu Feng and Jane English)

 

 

People who believe that the material world is all are pleased with a person's birth ,and lament a person's death.

A journey to this world trapped in a cage called the body and separated from the truth is such a great learning.

We originally do not need to be let sentiment interfere with that we enter and get out of this world like the battlefield.

To live is to use the time given to grow the soul and achieve the goals the soul has laid out for the growth of the soul.

Just obsessing with living by animal instinct is not the way the soul grows.

Life set by the soul is a life to learn black, a life to experience white, and varied on time and each soul, but if you stray from your soul's way and it becomes impossible to return to it anymore, your human life will be reset by Tsukiyomi.

That is passing from birth to death.

The reset is encountering rhinoceros or tiger, for example.

No matter how short-lived it is, life will end once when you complete the mission imposed on your own.

Do not concern yourself with how long the life is.

You will never encounter rhinoceros or tigera that is not planned for the soul as long as you live your life to grow your soul.
