今天的課程,提到宗教信仰的力量节芥。
為什么一個國家只有信奉神靈才能強(qiáng)盛呢平匈?一份堅定的信仰能夠?yàn)槿祟悗砟男┖锰幠兀繜o法得到驗(yàn)證的神靈還值得我們?nèi)バ欧顔幔?
1)信奉神靈可以: inspire hope, devotion, sacrifice; offer comfort to the hearts of the distressed, courage to embattled souls藏古,can stir or frighten the self-seeking individualist into some moderation of his greed, some control of his passion.
2)一份堅定的信仰能夠?yàn)槿祟悗恚篿f to belief in God is added belief in personal immortality: the hope of another life gives us courage to meet our own death, and to bear with the death of our loved ones; we are twice armed if we fight with faith.

宗教提到的終極關(guān)懷增炭,就是去思考人死了之后會去哪里。讓我想到了西藏的藏民拧晕,她們對于宗教的信仰隙姿,就是為了讓自己死后可以得到天葬,身體放在神山的山頂厂捞,在達(dá)賴做完法后输玷,被禿鷹吃干凈。所以在生前會努力行好事靡馁,且保持身體健康欲鹏,不吃藥不做手術(shù),因?yàn)樯眢w一旦做了手術(shù)臭墨,就是不完整的哮翘,也不能進(jìn)行天葬了秸仙。
甚至很多人,會把自己一年積蓄的90%拿出啦捐贈給當(dāng)?shù)厮聫R,也是這里提到的署驻,it can frighten the selfseeking individualist into some moderation of his greed冰单。
