He has three heads and six arms(三頭六臂)
According to the Buddhist worldview, each of us enters reincarnation after death.
We will enter one of the six realms of samsara because of our actions and virtues in this life.
One of them is Asura.
Asuras are between righteousness and evil,
and their strength is so great that they can even compete with the gods.
They have bad tempers, they complain and
get angry often, and they like to fight with others.
There is a description of them in a
Buddhist classic of the Tang Dynasty in China.
They like to use force to solve problems,
and they often cause a lot of disputes.
They would fight with each other, and they
would provoke the gods in the heavens.
They like to hear some flattering words,
they often want to deceive others, and their hearts are full of resentment and
anger.
Their bodies and faces are ugly, they have
three heads and eight arms, and they have amazing strength.
They are so tall that they can catch the
sun with a raised hand and smash the clouds with a wave.
Their stride can go over mountains, and
their stride can go over the ocean.
The original text of this idiom is that he
has three heads and eight hands. But it was later rewritten that he had three
heads and six hands.
This idiom is used to describe a person
with great abilities.
Dear friends, what inspiration or thoughts
do you have after listening to this story?
How do you usually solve the problems you
encounter? How do you keep yourself from getting angry and complaining easily?
I hope this story will give you something
new to gain.
三頭六臂(He has three heads and six arms)
根據佛教的世界觀，我們每個人死亡後就會進入輪迴。
我們會因為自已這一生的行為與德行進入六道輪迴中的其中一個。
其中之一是阿修羅。
阿修羅們介於正義與邪惡之間，他們的力量很大，甚至可以跟天神抗衡。
他們的脾氣很壞，他們經常抱怨與發怒，他們喜歡與別人爭鬥。
中國的唐王朝的一本佛教經典中，有一段關於他們的描述。
他們的喜歡用武力解決問題，他們常常引起很多的紛爭。
他們彼此之間會打架，他們也會挑釁天界中的神。
他們喜歡聽到一些諂媚的話，他們經常想要欺騙他人，他們的心中充滿著怨氣與憤怒。
他們體型與臉孔都很醜惡，他們有三個頭與八支手，他們擁有驚人的力量。
他們的身材很高大，他們舉手可以抓到太陽，揮手會粉碎雲朵。
他們的跨腳可以越過高山，他們邁開大步可以越過海洋。
這句成語的原文是他有三個頭與八隻手。但後來改寫成他有三個頭與六隻手。
這句成語被用來形容一個人具有強大的能力。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或有怎樣的想法呢。
你通常如何解決你所遇見的問題呢?你如何避免自己輕易的發怒與抱怨呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
