On Fuchengmennei Street in Beijing, there was a big meat restaurant called "Jiu Ruchun", which was doing very good business. One night, the manager dreamed that countless people were coming to him to ask for their lives, and he knew that he was killing all kinds of things. He said to them, "How can I pay for the lives of many of you alone? I won't do this business anymore, and I'll ask some monks to recite sutras and Buddha's name, so that I can overthrow you all, okay? Most of them said, "Yes." A few of them refused. The minority refused, saying, "You killed us for a few dollars or a few cents, and it's too cheap for you. The majority persuaded the minority to say: "He should implement it." The manager said, "Decide to implement it, or come back to me." The manager said, "I've decided to go ahead with it, or I'll come back to you.

When it was time to kill at five o'clock, the shopkeepers got up to kill, and the chickens and ducks all ran out of their cages and dispersed. The manager said, "We're not open today, we don't want to kill the ones that are running out of the door. The manager said, "We're not opening today, we're not going to kill the chickens and ducks.

Tianming invited the proprietor to come, said the night dream, quit the business, decided not to do. The owner of the cloud: "You do not want to kill, we might as well change the rules, as a vegetarian museum. The owner said, "Since you don't want to kill, we might as well change the rules and make it a vegetarian restaurant. The restaurant is still called "Nine Ru Chun". Therefore, the number of vegetarians is quite large, and it is more developed.
