All Talk About “Wolf Child Effect”

All Talk About “Wolf Child Effect”

The experience in several years after one’s birth affects his/her whole life. There was a baby, who was stolen by wolves after birth, and two years later, hunters rescued his from the wolf cave. This guy was called wolf child. Scientists using their whole lives can not teach him back to human. In his whole life, he can not learn human’s language, think like human, live like a human, and can not use tools. When he eats, he swallows like wolves; and yells like wolves when he gets pain. He does not like eating cooked food, and only like eat raw flesh meat. He can live over ten years, even tens of years, in human society, however, tens of years training in human society can not dissolve the influence from wolf cave during that couple of years. How terrible!

Try to imagine, if a baby lived in family with strong greed, anger, foolishness for several years, even if he leaves far way from that environment, wolf child effects will also company him in his whole life. During his life, it is very hard for him to get rid of the impress of his childhood. Except that like Milarepa he experiences soul training like changing bones and embryo.

What more scaring is, the wolf child does not know that he becomes wolf child. He thought others may live same way as him. When Five Poisons eat out his wisdom, when delusion covers his heart wisdom, a person will lost his nature like wolf child. So called Buddha is the ultimately enlightened person who found himself the nature of wolf child, won himself continuously, and got rid of dilution.

Each of us should know, since we merged in the dirty environment, I can not avoid having some wolf child characteristics, although we did not realize by ourselves. We may have many shortcomings, and bad brutal habits, and we need to purify our souls, uncover the innate human light. When one day we leave far away from foolishness, away from greed and anger, wiping off dust in soul, letting the innate wisdom shining, we will enlighten as Buddha did.

However, the process of enlightenment is not as simple as saying that, it is a very hard soul process. When I was very young, I thought about wining myself, and wrote it as scroll and put on the head of bed to warn. Until today, it is almost thirty years, but I still dare not say I have fulfilled what I pursued before. What can comfort me is that I leave abjection, greed, foolishness, and that my heart light is shining from the remaining dust, although I have some distance from the aim.
