The song of the stubborn cow

 

The song of the stubborn cow

 

Agudengba and his donkey walked along the path of the temple and unexpectedly saw a group of cows resting on the ground. The leader of the group of cows was the old cow master.

Agudengba asked Lord Niu: In the Buddhist world, the status of cows is not as high as that in Hinduism. In India, it is said that cows have a high status. Is this true?

Master Niu said to Agudengba: Indians are divided into three, six or nine grades, and Indian cattle are also divided into three, six or nine grades. In India, the white bull is the mount of Lord Shiva. Among them, the white bull with a hump is the most noble, followed by the ox, buffalo, etc. Therefore, in the Hindu temples or murals that everyone sees, the image of a white cow with a hump often appears, but there are basically no oxen or buffaloes. Some freight drivers will paint white cows on their vehicles instead of scalpers or buffaloes.

Lord Niu continued to Agudemba: Hindus drink milk and use cow dung as fuel, but they never eat beef. Even McDonald's in India does not have beef burgers. They specially launched the world's only vegetarian burger for Indians. Therefore, in the living environment of Hindus, cows can run around happily. Cows can go wherever humans can go on the streets, stations, bars, and restaurants. In an absolute sense, humans and cows are equal. No, actually the cow has a higher status.

The donkey was very excited after hearing what Master Niu said. He said excitedly: There is an afterlife, and I must be reincarnated into a cow.

Mr. Niu smiled: On the eve of every major disaster in India, the white cows on the street would be protected. For example, during the mad cow disease epidemic, before India went into lockdown, the white cows on the streets disappeared and they were protected by Hindus. India may not be able to protect Indians, but it can definitely protect Indian cattle; Indians may not fight for Indians, but they will fight for Indian cows, especially white cows. Smart donkey, if you want to be reincarnated into a cow, you must become a white cow. If you become a cow, ox or buffalo, then you will be the lowest cow in the cattle group, just like us now, you will also Living on the streets, you have to take control of your own survival.

Mr. Niu said to Agudengba: There is no democracy, freedom and fairness in this world. This is true for humans and the same is true for the cattle people.

At this time, the cattle sang a rough and wild song "Survival in Adversity":

 

We are a herd of enslaved cattle,

Before his master could raise his whip, he jumped on his feet,

We always survive in suffering,

Only suffering is the guide.

 

Facing the years of misfortune and suffering,

You have to believe that everything will pass,

Just as the night is followed by dawn,

You don't have to be depressed and desperate when you encounter setbacks.

 

Happiness always uses the raw materials of misfortune,

Only then can we brew sweet wine,

We will not be overwhelmed by misfortune,

Surviving adversity is a stubborn pursuit.
