Share the vegetarian thing with you. Although we may not see the changes in our bodies with the naked eye, the instruments can see them. Share with you: This time, a microcirculatory detector came to our store, and all our colleagues tested it. Through the microscope, we saw that they all had heavy metals and toxins in their bodies, and their blood was thick and blood vessels were blocked. When I tested it, I said that my constitution was cold and weak, but there were no heavy metals and few toxins in my body. The teacher asked me if I was a vegetarian, because vegetarian blood was relatively clean. This contrast was quite different. So sometimes we may not feel it, but vegetarianism is really good for our health. Therefore, brothers who are not vegetarians should eat more quickly and their health will get better and better.
Vegetarianism also has conditions, not just eating vegetarian dishes such as green vegetables and tofu. Bodhisattva told us to protect our bodies, let us practice on earth, not let you eat your body without killing animals and eating vegetarian food. Therefore, the Bodhisattva is merciful and allows us to eat eggs, milk and dairy products, because many eggs can't hatch chickens, and there are many nutrients in them, so that your body will gradually balance. The most important thing is to eat more soy products, including protein and soybean lecithin. For example, vegetarian chicken, soybeans and peanuts ... Many people eat only vegetables and radishes every day, and the oil and water are scraped away. You can go to a vegetarian restaurant like Taiwan Province to buy vegetarian ham and duck, season and slice them yourself, and cook them together with vegetarian dishes. Cooking is also very important. You can think of various ways to cook them, roast them, stir-fry them, or make spring rolls ... Vegetarians should constantly come up with patterns to eat, otherwise they will be too single and their health will collapse seriously for a long time. Monks and nuns knock on wooden fish and recite scriptures to sweep the floor without working, so it doesn't matter if they eat tofu and vegetables. We have to work. We have to work. Because many people are vegetarian, they should eat peanuts, whole grains, beans, walnuts and chestnuts every day, which are very nutritious.
Vegetarianism-cultivating compassion
The director continued to tell you today, why should we be vegetarian when we study Buddhism, and why not kill animals? In fact, the Bodhisattva has told us for a long time that all sentient beings have Buddha nature. What is sentient beings? All sentient beings with life have Buddha nature. For example, if our ancestors, or our younger generation, commit iniquity, they will have been reincarnated as beasts after their death. At that time, if he was a dog, if you killed the dog in your home, in fact, you would have killed a sentient being. Moreover, the Bodhisattva said that all sentient beings have Buddha nature, and they should be regarded as Buddhas. What do you mean, treat everyone as a Buddha? It is to treat everything as a bodhisattva, because buddhas and bodhisattvas see all living beings as buddhas. We say that Buddha is all sentient beings, and all sentient beings are Buddhas. Therefore, we have the foundation of becoming a Buddha. We may have been a Buddha in the past, and we may also become a Buddha in the future. I am a Buddha and you are not a Buddha. If you can believe this, you have enough precepts. In other words, I may already be a Buddha, or I used to be a Buddha, and you are the future Buddha, just like we call many people "little bodhisattvas" now. If you can believe this, everyone believes that we will be able to become a Buddha, and your precepts are sufficient. If you can respect all sentient beings and treat all sentient beings as Buddhas, your world and your quality are sufficient, which shows that you can already believe that you are an unfinished Buddha.
So, we should give up killing. We can't compete with it because we want to kill people, because we want to kill wild animals and animals, and for the sake of killing people's health, we can please me with it. You kill people, eat them yourself, put some soy sauce and vinegar, and you still think it's very delicious. In fact, how cruel it is. As we all know, there is a shop in Guangdong that eats monkeys. Like people, monkeys are kept in small cages. When those little monkeys saw a man coming in, everyone put their hands over their eyes. Because the killing began immediately, they dipped the small cage into the water and the little monkey died. When these little monkeys saw their colleagues being killed like this, they had no choice but to cover their eyes. Just like the Japanese killed China people in the past, we saw them killing our compatriots. What can we do? You know, killing is a heinous crime, and those who kill will go to hell. People in the world are used to killing. Do you know how many people are killing? Do you know how many chickens and ducks are killed every day? In this small place of Hong Kong alone, 10 million chickens are killed every day. Think about it, killing is such a sin. And now we casually kill chickens, ducks, dogs and rabbits. It's nothing at all. We still have to eat. How can we eat?
We are used to many things, just like swearing, and we are used to killing, so we must understand that we can't kill. Including offering sacrifices to the gods and ancestors, raising relatives and entertaining guests, and not being a gift without meat. These are all past ideas. I think that this gift can only be made with meat, but it can't be made without meat. Think about it, it is extremely tragic to raise relatives and entertain guests, thinking that all sacrifices to the gods and ancestors require meat and people's lives in exchange for your support. Kill other people's flesh to show that you are sincere in filial piety, and parents are unwilling to accept it. Kill the family's spirituality to filial piety yourself. After many people kill, he will leave his feelings, and his life will become more and more miserable. Just like a pig killer, his family will not be rich in this life, his life will be miserable, and his emotional luck will get worse and worse. Think about it, some sentient beings have been reincarnated six times since the beginning of robbery, which may be our parents, brothers, wives and dependents; Think about it. You used to be your relatives. If they are reincarnated in the animal path, you are still taking revenge and killing. Bodhisattva once advised us in the scripture to abstain from killing. We must know that we can't kill, because we must have compassion, and we can cultivate compassion, so that we can stop killing, and fewer people believe in it. Therefore, we should learn from Buddha's great compassion, and we can't take other people's bodies to support others and ourselves. This is evil.
Listeners and friends, as we all know, Buddha's great compassion shows everything, not only to people, but also to all sentient beings, so we should avoid killing. We can't kill some small creatures, such as shells, clams, pig teeth, tripe and liver, which will make people feel uneasy after eating, because these things are eaten in your body and because you eat things from animals into humanity. For example, I used to be a good person. After my thoughts were filled with the theory of hooligans and robbers, I was no longer like a person. You were like a hooligan and a robber. Your theory has caused you to forget that you are a person. So, to understand that we don't know, that was the past. Now we understand, understand, and we are enlightened. We can't kill any more, let alone kill animals and eat them. You have to think that when you kill an animal, it also hurts. It feels, but it can't talk.
Some people say that people who can't talk are born for me to eat. Don't you have a brother who is dumb, should you kill him, too? Have you eaten? These are all absurd theories. The director told everyone that we must not kill anything. You know, although people and animals have different shapes and different souls and consciousness, their pain points are the same. They are all creatures, just like a child who is not sensible and a sensible adult, they are also human beings. You can't treat them as foreign bodies. Therefore, every animal, including advanced animals such as human beings, has spiritual sensitivity, that is to say, a spiritual object has IQ and something to understand. We pay attention to five ethics and eight virtues, that is, we don't let people kill, steal, indulge in debauchery, and what we are talking about is that we don't let people harm others or ourselves. What we say is to get along with each other sincerely, and we should love animals and people. Therefore, killing their meat, that is, after you kill animals, eating the meat of those animals yourself will make you get what you deserve. Think about it. In the history of China, many people were rewarded for killing. In history, many people have killed people, and in the end they have no good results. Think about Libyan President Moammar Gadhafi. He killed countless people, and his final result was to be killed. What good result did he have? Since ancient times, a murderer will hang himself.
We should learn from the sage's point of view. We can't use others, and we can't use animals to support our bodies. You know, those who harm people and creatures must be mediocre and extinct, that is to say, if the ancestors do not accumulate virtue, they will certainly harm his next generation; If the ancestors are wicked, it will certainly affect his next generation. The director has an audience. His ancestors have killed people, and all his children are mentally ill. Therefore, it is necessary to understand that "the survivors in Qing Yu are celebrating the surplus of the victims", that is to say, you have a little disaster and a little happiness now because you did a little good and did a lot of bad things in your previous life. People who accumulate good deeds have been subjected to the afterlife, which is much better than those we don't understand yet. Therefore, as parents, we should think about our children. We can't do many unnatural things, because if you do unnatural things, you will affect the growth of your next generation. For example, we are in Australia now, and many people don't care about their health. Many women drink and smoke when they are pregnant, and finally give birth to disabled children. Isn't it because of their mothers that the children suffer after they come to earth? When a child comes to the world and suffers so much, he is looked down upon by others at school. When he studies, others can learn, but he can't. He looks half big and half small. When you say it, you know that there is something wrong with your brain. You have brought your child a lifetime of pain. This is what you have done.
Therefore, people should understand, we must break for a while. Many people feel very happy when they eat something in their mouths, but he can't understand that he will suffer great disasters forever, and he will suffer these great disasters forever and will leave them to his descendants. Listeners and friends, medicine has now proved that a vegetarian will be peaceful, beautiful like flowers and plants, and grow taller and taller like an ear of rice, but his head will still hang lower and lower, and he will be modest and cautious. Let's think about it. Carnivores have sharp teeth, but we are not carnivores. Our intestines are very long. You will know if you learn a little knowledge. People's intestines are very long, which is beneficial for digestion, but carnivores have very short intestines, such as tigers and lions. Therefore, carnivores, when meat goes in, it will be excreted quickly, while people will bypass the intestines after eating it. If the meat is not put in the refrigerator, it will stink in a few hours. Although we cook hard before eating it, it is still meat. After a long time in your stomach, it still can't turn out and can't be absorbed. After a long time, how can things not grow in your intestines? So understand, we can't eat meat, let alone live meat. Doctors have long advised us to be vegetarian as we get older. Being vegetarian is good for our health.
I have said so much to my friends in the audience today, hoping that everyone will have compassion. Where is the compassion of people nowadays? A little girl in Foshan, Guangdong Province, who was only two years old, was run over by a car. None of the 10 people on the side went to the rescue. Only an aunt who picked up garbage went to save her and donated her 24,000 RMB for picking up garbage. Aren't people upside down now? What on earth are rich people doing? For the sake of money, fame, and profit, we do unnatural things all day, bully others all day, and be selfish all day. In order to make money, we do not hesitate to harm others' interests. And those scavengers, those old mothers, their conscience still exists, which is why those who have been repaired in previous lives have a blessing in this life, while those who have a blessing in this life will not be repaired in this life, and when he is in the next life, he will have no blessing. Therefore, people who suffer hardships will cultivate their hearts; He who suffers hardships will know how to cherish happiness. He can't be happy if he doesn't suffer. Just like a child born in a wealthy family, money is just a digital concept to him. Will this child cherish money? And why can the children of the poor take charge early, because he knows that money is hard to come by.
