Chapter 368 The Story of the Sheep, the Lamb, and the Hen 1. Motherly Love is Great



Reciting Buddhist scriptures and practicing good deeds are indeed unique ways to fulfill filial piety. By sincerely reciting Buddhist scriptures and practicing good deeds, one can ascend to the highest heavens and even break through the peaks of the sky with the help of the boundless power of Buddhism.

Filial piety is so great that its influence is profound and boundless!

Every line and sentence is closely tied to the theme of filial piety, as if filial piety has been integrated into the words themselves.

If anyone dares to betray filial piety, then the ethics and morality of the world will collapse instantly.

The entire article does not deviate from the core of filial piety. Once filial piety is lost, the human ethical order will fall into chaos.

Therefore, we must always remember filial piety, and recite it aloud: once, twice, three or four times, five times, six times, seven or eight times; nine times, ten times, countless times. Filial piety is the foremost of all virtues.

If one can persistently recite it a hundred or so times, one can dispel disasters, avert calamities, and comprehend the complete essence of filial piety—the "Hundred Filial Piety Classic".

Moreover, the ancient writer Li Mi also mentioned the saying "the filial piety of crows" in his famous work "Memorial to the Throne". He cleverly used the story of crows feeding their parents to profoundly express his deep respect and filial piety towards his grandmother.

This emotion is sincere and moving, touching the reader deeply.

Thinking of this, Ye Ying couldn't help but recall a short story she had once read on Baidu about "a lamb begging to kneel and suckle".

Long ago, a ewe gave birth to a lovely little lamb.

From then on, the mother sheep gave all her love to the little lamb.

As night falls, the mother sheep gently calls to her lamb, inviting it to snuggle up beside her and fall asleep. She wraps the lamb tightly in her warm body, dispelling the chill of the night and allowing it to drift peacefully into a sweet dream.

When they go out to forage during the day, the mother sheep will carefully lead her lamb and never leave its side.

They are like each other's shadows, inseparable.

However, the world is not always full of kindness.

Sometimes, some ferocious wild animals will try to attack the lambs.

But each time, the mother sheep would step forward without hesitation, using her hard horns to fight fiercely with the enemy, doing everything in her power to protect her lamb from any harm.

One day, just as the mother sheep was nursing her lamb, a hen happened to pass by.

It waddled over, looked at the lamb nursing, and said sarcastically, "Oh dear, look how pathetic this little lamb is, kneeling on the ground to nurse! My children wouldn't be so cowardly!"

After saying that, the hen clucked and laughed, as if she was quite pleased with herself.

When the mother sheep first heard the hen's mockery, she neither got angry nor argued back.

She simply looked down at the lamb silently, her eyes filled with love and determination. She knew that the lamb knelt to nurse not out of weakness or incompetence, but out of gratitude towards its mother.

This instinctive behavior is how lambs express their affection.

Just then, the lamb seemed to sense its mother's gaze. It raised its head and looked at its mother. In that instant when their eyes met, a deep affection and gratitude were revealed in the lamb's eyes.

Then, it bleated softly and continued to nurse.

The mother sheep responded softly to her lamb's bleating, gently licking its fur with her tongue as a gesture of comfort and encouragement.

In this simple yet heartwarming scene, maternal love is perfectly embodied—selfless, resilient, and profound.
