The following is the revelation of the feast master. I hope you can refer to it and learn about your own practices:
Prostitutes, butchers, fishermen, hunters, wine merchants and others can all believe in Buddhism?
Of course. The kindness of Buddhism is as vast as the sea. As long as you have confidence, you can enter the Buddha and become a disciple of the Three Treasures.
Although, in the five precepts of Buddhism, lewdness, killing and drinking are forbidden. At the same time, these industries listed above are also called bad karma, bad karma or improper karma. However, people living on the island can't live except fishing; Indigenous people living in mountainous areas will starve if they don't hunt; It is impossible for poor women to engage in other occupations to seek the minimum needs of life unless they engage in prostitution, laughing and dancing. If the previous generation ran a butcher or wine industry, they just learned the skills of a butcher or wine industry to make a living. If these are the only reasons for survival, Buddhism does not require them to give up their original jobs before they come to believe in Buddhism. But once they believe in Buddhism, if they can try to change careers, Buddhism will actively encourage them. Because the purpose of Buddhism is to encourage everyone to engage in the cause of kindness and justice. What's more, those industries are a crime in themselves. People who don't obey the precepts have their fundamental sins, although they don't commit them.
Buddhism doesn't think that they are breaking the rules because they can't change careers because of the actual situation. Because the initial belief in Buddhism can only be converted to the three treasures. Although it is what Buddhism hopes, it also has many merits, but it is not importuned. If you don't keep the commandments, you don't have to keep them. No commandments can be broken, and there is no sin in breaking them. If you want to be disciplined, the opportunity to be disciplined is always waiting for them. Among the five commandments, discipline as much as you can. If you can't keep it after you quit, you can quit at any time, and you will be innocent after you quit. After quitting, you can take it again. If you give up abstinence, abstinence is a sin!
Buddhism is very generous. Although you can't abide by the minimum five precepts, as long as you have a little confidence or respect for the Sambo, you will have great merit, that is, you have planted a good root for becoming a Buddha in the future, not to mention converting to the Sambo. After converting to Sambo, you only need not believe in other religions, and you don't have to accept the Five Commandments. Therefore, Buddhism will not exclude anyone who wants to believe.
Amitabha!
