Three Types of Doors

Long ago there was a prince, he asked the teacher a scholar: "How is my life's journey." The teacher replied: "In the journey of your life, you will meet with three kinds of doors, every door is written above a line of words, when you see it you will surely understand what I say. "

Finally the prince began his journey. Not long later, he met with the door first. Above the door is written "Change the World." Prince then thought, in accordance with the ideals of me I had to change the world, change the things I do not like to see. Finally he did in accordance with the plan. Several years later he met again with the second door. Written thereon "Changing Others." The prince thought, I am with my brilliant mind will teach others, so they can be more developed. In the end he met with a third door. Written on it "Change Yourself." Prince thought, I'll change my character to be even better. Finally he did it all.

One day, the prince was reunited with his teacher, he said: "I've found three types of doors in my life journey, which I understand is" Changing world "is better to change the existing everyone in this world. Instead of changing the other person is better to change ourselves. "Scholar teacher who after hearing his words with a smile replied:" Maybe it's better you walk back, with careful see clearly the three types of door. "

Prince with a half-believing half sanctions walked back again. From a distance he saw the door of the third, but apparently not the same as when he came, from this side look above the door read, "Trying to Accept Yourself." At this moment the prince understood at the time he changed himself he felt life was very difficult and suffer because he can not recognize and accept her own deficiencies, he was always pursuing the ideals that are beyond its capabilities, which cause he could not see the advantages it has. At this moment he became aware of and respect ourselves. Prince continued on his way to walk back. He saw the door of the both the words "Attempting to Accept Others." At this moment he understood why he was so upset, because he can not recognize and accept differences of opinion between himself to others, he always could not understand the difficulties of others. At this time realized he should gracefully accept others. Prince to continue his journey, he saw the door first written above it "Trying to Receive World Here." At this moment the prince understands why when he changed the world he's always failed, because he refused to accept that many things in this world can not be done by human hands, thus making he was not doing good things she could do. Now he understands that the world must accept for what it is.

At this time the scholars were waiting for her teacher and told the prince: "I think, now you know what it means to live in peace and quiet?." (Minghui School / hui)

A Sad Animal Story

I don’t remember much from the place I was born. It was cramped and dark, and we were never played with by the humans. I remember Mom and her soft fur, but she was often sick, and very thin. She had hardly any milk for me and my brothers and sisters. I remember many of them dying, and I missed them so much.

I don’t remember the day I was taken from Mom. I was so sad and scared, my milk teeth had only just come in, and I really should have been with Mom still, but she was so sick and the Humans kept saying that they wanted money and were tired of the "mess" that me and my sister made.

So we were crated up and taken to a strange place. Just the two of us. We huddled together and were scared, still no humans hands came to pet us or to love us. So many sights and sounds, and smells! We are in a store where there are many different animals! Some that squawk! Some that meow! Some that peep! My sister and I are jammed into a small cage. I can hear other puppies here. I see humans look at me. I like the little humans – the kids – best. They look so sweet, and fun, like they would play with me!

EUTHANASIA is a procedure performed by a vet in which the animal is painlessly killed by a lethal injection. For our pets that are in pain or terminally ill or just old, this can be the last humane thing we can do for them

All day we stay in a small cage, sometimes mean people will hit the glass to frighten us, every once in a while we are taken out to be held or shown to humans. Some are gentle, some hurt us. We always hear "Aw, they’re so cute! I want one!" But we never get to go with any one. My sister died last night, when the store was dark. I lay my head on her soft fur and felt the life leave her small thin body. I had heard them say she was sick, and that I should be sold at a "discount price" so I would quickly leave the store. I think my soft whine was the only one that mourned for her, as her body was taken out of the cage in the morning and dumped.

Today, a family came and bought me. Oh, happy day! They are a nice family, they really, really wanted me! They bought a dish and food and the little girl held me so tenderly in her arms. I love her so much! The mom and dad say what a sweet and good puppy I am. I’m named Angel. I love to lick my new humans. The family takes such good care of me, they are loving and tender and sweet. They gently teach me right and wrong, give me lots of good food, and lots of love. I want only to please these wonderful people! I love the little girl and I enjoy running and playing with her.

Today, I went to the veterinarian, it was a strange place and I was frightened. I got some shots, but my best friend the little girl held me softly and said it would be OK. So, I relaxed. The vet must have said sad words to my beloved family, because they looked awfully sad. I heard "severe hip dysplasia", and something about my heart……I heard the vet say something about backyard breeders and my parents not being tested. I know not what any of that means, just that it hurts me to see my family so sad, but they still love me, and I still love them very much.

I am 6 months old now. Where most other puppies are robust and rowdy, it hurts me terribly to move. The pain never lets up. It hurts to run and play with my beloved little girl, and I find it hard to breathe. I keep trying my best to be the strong pup I know I am supposed to be, but it is so hard. It breaks my heart to see the little girl so sad, and to hear the Mom and Dad talk about "Now might be the time". Several times I have gone to that vet’s place, and the news is never good. Always talk about congenital problems. I just want to feel the warm sunshine and run, and play, and nuzzle my family. Last night was the worst, the pain had been constant. Now it even hurts to get up and have a drink. I try to get up but can only whine in pain.

I am taken in the car one last time. Everyone is so sad, and I don’t know why. Have I been bad? I try to be a good and loving dog – what have I done wrong? Oh, if only this pain would go! If only I could soothe the tears of my little girl. I reach out my muzzle to lick her hand, but I can only whine in pain. The vet’s table is so cold. I am so frightened. The humans all hug and love me, and they cry into my soft fur. I can feel their love and sadness. I manage to softly lick their hands. Even the vet isn't so scary today. He is gentle and I sense some kind of relief for my pain.

The little girl holds me gently and I thank her for giving me all her love. I feel a pinch in my foreleg. The pain is beginning to lift, and a peace descends upon me. I can now softly lick her hand. My vision is becoming dreamlike now, and I can see my mother and my brothers and sisters in a far off green place. They tell me there is no pain there, only peace and happiness. I tell the family goodbye in the only way I know how – a soft wag of my tail and a nuzzle from my nose. I had hoped to spend many many moons with them but it just wasn’t meant to be.

"You see" said the vet, "pet shop puppies do not come from ethical breeders!" The pain ends now, and I know it will be many years before I see my beloved family again. If only things could have been different.

That's incredible act of a Small Boy

A child in China on January 27, 2006 received high awards from the government because otherwise have done "EXTRAORDINARY DEEDS." Among the nine people winning the award, she is the only child chosen from China's 1.4 billion population. What makes it remarkable fact is the considered attention and devotion to his father, always working hard and never give up, and the behavior and words that create a sense of sympathy.

Since he was 10 years old (year 2001) this child abandoned by his mother who had had enough of living with her husband who was very ill and poor.

Since then, Zhang Da, thus the name of the boy, live with the father who does not work, can not walk and sick. He was too young to bear a heavy responsibility, but he still struggled.

He went on foot through a small forest. Because no breakfast, trip, he ate the leaves, seeds and fruits which he met. Sometimes he tries to eat a kind of fungus or the grass, so he knows which ones are acceptable and which are not his tongue. Home from school, he worked cutting large stones. Wages as a mason used to buy rice and medicine for his father.

Every day he carried his father to the bathroom, wiped and also bathe her father. She buys rice and made to eat his porridge.
All affairs of other father who did she do it alone. Drug treatment is expensive and distant places to make Zhang Da thinking to find the best way to treat his father. He also learned about drugs through a book that he bought secondhand. He studied how a nurse gave the injection. When she felt able, he himself injected his father.

When the awards ceremony took place, the host asked him what he wants Zhang Da "Is money or other. Here there are many officials, businessmen, there are also hundreds of millions of national television broadcasting audience, they can help you! "But what is shocking Zhang Da anyone, he simply said," I just want my Mommy back!. "

This story was not only touching but also admiration. A 10-year-old child can run a heavy responsibility for five years. The difficulty of forging the child's life has become a formidable figure of a child and never give up. Zhang Da arguably rare because it is very different from modern children. Currently many children that everything was always facilitated by their parents. For reasons unfortunately, parents are always helping his son, even though the child is able to do so. There are children who are in elementary school are still fed, and to wear and still be assisted.

MORAL:
Child's potential is often forged difficulties arise precisely when, if the step children are always facilitated the creativity and the power struggle will not grow. Therefore, there is a proverb that says, "Make it easy DO NOT CHILD ALIVE TODAY, FOR LATER IN THE DAY trouble."

Third son can not tolerate humiliation and want to come out to give lessons for the bastard. Zhiding lock the door and told his children: "He was drunk and it was dark. It is hard to see who he is. Let him curse and do not bother arguing with him." The bastard then took mud and put it on the front door. He continues to condemn until losing his voice and breathing hard. And the bastard finally bored and leave. Because he was drunk and without clothes, she was cold and tired to scream. Finally the bastard died in the middle of the night as well.
Bastard wife thought: "When he was yelling and insulting Chen family, they shut the door and did not return. So they did not come out to fight with him. So we did not have a case to complain to the authorities of justice rule." Therefore, his wife had to buy a coffin and buried her own husband.
