Some lives are gods in heaven, some lives are in hell, some lives are ghosts, and some lives are people like us, but people also have different fates. But some lives are fish, chickens, ducks, snakes, cockroaches, ants and mosquitoes that you can see, which is the so-called "animal path." These are all life, and the Buddha told us that all life has feelings. What I just said is "sentient life", and vegetables, fruits and trees are called "heartless life", which are not within the scope of reincarnation. What we call the scope of samsara is that these gods, people, hell, ghosts and beasts are constantly samsara, and samsara is suffering. As human beings, we can at least decide our own lives, but a fish and a bird can't decide, even those pigs, ducks and fish that are raised to be killed are even more pitiful. Today's public hearing, if a person is sitting here and letting you decide his life and death, I believe you will have an empathetic and integrated feeling: "You are a human being, and I am also a human being", which can save you as much as possible. I hope there will be no more death penalty in this world, and no more lives will be slaughtered in this world. We have set up a "Chinese Nursing Association". The contents of the Association hope to help no one commit suicide, have an abortion, be put to death or have a precious life killed again. Because of this, we have to set free to save lives. More importantly, as a disciple of the Buddha, we also know that all life is constantly in reincarnation. Therefore, ladies and gentlemen, we have been reincarnated for millions of times. Every life has a father, a mother and children in the process of reincarnation. So think about how many times we have been reincarnated, so every life has been our father and mother. Maybe he is now in paradise, maybe he is in heaven, maybe he is. So we have to save him. This is the definition of release. All men and women are my parents, and all life has been our parents. Today, we are talking about release, not about which life can be saved and which life should not be saved. Today we are talking about releasing animals, not the so-called ecological problems. The life planted in Taiwan Province can live, but the life of exotic species will die. Today, when we talk about releasing a bird, we don't mean that a bird was caught today, so don't let it go. Everyone, think about it. If that bird is your son. We are talking about the law today. Who should be punished? The government or these conservationists should stipulate that we can't catch wild animals. This is not to prohibit us from saving these lives. We have to make it clear. In the teachings of Buddhism, we are told not to kill life. Because killing life, life is reincarnation, it will produce karma, and reaction will produce pain and hatred, and human beings will produce disaster and suffering. Then this life that we killed and ate, in the process of reincarnation, will seek revenge from you in the future and have a bad relationship with you. There is still a very important issue. Some people are discussing it. Today, it is wrong for you to buy birds and fish to be killed and release them. This concept is all wet. Because people who have this idea have no idea of equality. These fish are going to be killed just like our father, mother and children are going to be killed. Can we not save them? This is a question of whether there is compassion. Of course, compassion comes from the understanding and understanding of life. Knowing the equality of life, knowing the reincarnation, and knowing all life are our parents, six relatives, even a small ant. Therefore, we are actively saving lives and releasing them, and we are not afraid of being laughed at, because the person who laughs at us knows him and he doesn't, and we have to sympathize with him, so it is unreasonable for us to oppose releasing them. If he is a Buddhist, we can't understand him. As a Buddhist, the Buddha tells every Buddhist not to kill anything, not to eat it, and to be a vegetarian so as not to kill it. Further, if you have the ability, you should set free and save lives, but someone will answer, it's not right for you to release snakes and snakes to kill frogs, so it is! But is the snake going to die? But snakes still have to be saved, and it is right not to let them go wild, because if you let them go wild, they will eat other animals, then you are killing animals, and you are putting a tiger in Taipei. You're not trying to save lives, you're trying to satisfy your own merits, but it's certainly not right to eat a lot of people. So what our so-called nursing association is doing and releasing are those lives that won't harm other animals and destroy the ecology, such as fish put in water, which belongs to eating algae and grazing, so let's release them. What about frogs? From my personal standpoint and from the standpoint of the Nursing Association, we will not let go, but we will save. We borrowed and rented many nursing parks in Taiwan Province, and sent these frogs to the market to be dissected and slaughtered alive. We collectively surrounded them in that place and bought feed for them to eat. Ladies and gentlemen, it is painful to do this kind of work, but it is necessary and worthwhile. The so-called conservationists now mean to protect all lives, not only the lives of Taiwan Province species, but also the dogs from being killed. Then pigs, chickens and ducks can be killed at will, so this conservation is still limited or narrow. Just being paranoid about a certain animal is not the so-called equal compassion of Buddhism. No life is born to be slaughtered by human beings. At this time, conservation and even release are the real concepts of equality and compassion, so the Nursing Association is to protect all life, and because of this, we have held many life-saving release activities. On the one hand, it is necessary to save these lives, and on the other hand, it is necessary to remind those who save lives to cultivate equal compassion for all lives. Just as you see us Buddhists crossing our hands, this right hand represents all Buddhas, and it also represents the five Tathagata's state of complete achievement, no pain, and full of compassion and ability. This hand represents the "five interesting beings" of reincarnation: heaven, humanity, beast, ghost and hell. So when you close your hands, I, all Buddhas and all reincarnated lives are equal, and we all have to love it. So I think someone once told me that you bought a lot of lives to set them free. This is a business. Everyone, life is priceless! These lives are obviously going to be killed, and one hundred people are going to be killed today. How much money you have, you will buy it. Life is because you have empathy, and you don't want to see him killed and suffering. Some people say that your release caused some animals to die and get injured during transportation, and even a few animals died because of acclimatization. Everyone sounds right, but if you don't save these animals, they will all be killed. If you save them, 90% of them will still be alive. This is the real ecology. Why? Because the Buddha also told us that there are many killings in this world, it will cause many diseases, infectious diseases, cancer, violence, family breakdown, money theft, accidental death, car accidents, fires, earthquakes and tsunamis. In the teachings of Buddhism, it is all because of human robbery, and a large number of human breeding life eats and kills it, resulting in a kind of reaction and karma. If you have such an idea, won't you let it go? Unless you don't know Buddhism, you don't know Buddhism. Although some people claim that I am a Buddhist, the essence of Buddhists is compassion. An ant and a mosquito stung him. Please don't laugh at us. When the mosquito bites us, we won't kill him. Like my son and my mother, the mosquito is drinking my milk, and he says the mantra of great compassion and Buddha in his heart, hoping that it will drink my blood and become a mosquito transcend in the end, and don't come back to be a mosquito again. Today, we are also defined as releasing fish, turtledoves and pigeons to be slaughtered, and maybe they can't all live. But with confidence in what the Buddha told us, we will recite the Buddha's name to it. Be a fish and a beast for the last time, so that it won't produce hatred, reincarnate well, and go back to be a god or a man in the sky. What the Nursing Association is doing is not just releasing the animals. The most difficult thing for us is to protect lives, such as cattle, sheep and pigs. Guys, you may laugh at us for being so stupid. There are nearly 2,000 dogs that will be euthanized and abandoned in the nursing park. It is a great burden for us to spend at least 700,000 Taiwan dollars a month. But the life of a dog is equal to that of a person, and so are those cows. Believers have compassion and sent it here, so we must try our best to raise it. Wu Guoyu in today's market is going to be slaughtered. Even if it costs 20 yuan, 50 yuan or even the same money, we can save more lives. Therefore, farms in the south, when their fish grow up, have to be sent to the market in large quantities for slaughter. Let's go and give it to him. Please sell it to us. If you sell it to us, you won't have to make a killing business, and your hearts will be safer. Let's find a suitable place and release it without destroying the ecology. Ladies and gentlemen, can you say this is wrong? The person who does this kind of thing is criticized or his body is dirty, but its starting point is a kind of compassion. He just wants to accept the criticism of others. He is a disgrace, but he is an empty wisdom at heart. A fish is equal to my life. Since we want to save lives, how can we just set them free? We must have learned through a long-term investigation that fish will not harm other ecosystems before we can do it! Marine fish, also marine fish, we choose milkfish. It eats algae bean fish, and it won't eat other small fish. Tell me to buy a lot of bass. It will eat other small fish. Even when you go to the market, any kind of fish belongs to eating and eating, so we can't let it go wild. It's not for the sake of releasing, for the sake of so-called merits, it's up to you, so we'll let it go wild and urge it to eat small fish in the sea. Think about a big bass, it can grow so big, it may eat tens of thousands of small fish in its life, then this is of course destroying the ecology! It's not about whether it's expensive or not. So we absolutely respect all life! The birds in the bird shop today, no matter whether his price is high or low. If we let it go wild, it can't survive. We can't be irresponsible. Just throw it away, just like leaving a child on the side of the road, no! These birds that can't be released in the wild, if they are going to be slaughtered, we have to rent land, borrow cages and hire workers so that they can have feed there and survive safely and naturally. Every day, I put a Buddhist spell on it, hoping that it will not suffer from the reincarnation of animals after giving up the newspaper in the next life. We can't just leave these here! As you know, racing pigeons. When the old racing pigeon came back and lost, its owner broke its head and let it die. We asked him to buy some for 50 yuan, some for 40 yuan and some for 35 yuan. We spend money to build cages and let these pigeons live there for half a year or a year. We dare to open this place because we think it is his home. Otherwise, if you save it, it will fly to its original place, and its owner will catch it and kill it. If we want to release birds, we will order birds from the bird shop and tell us when we will release them. You can catch some wild birds for us to release. Ladies and gentlemen, this is not a Buddhist! Buddhists are compassionate and wise. Don't hurt the free animals for your own merits. But then again, ladies and gentlemen, in order to make money, these businessmen catch birds with this mentality of "I'll put them in a cage for you anyway"! If someone buys it, he earns a little money; Nobody buys these birds, and they die naturally. Over there, everyone. Are you going to save it? Of course you have to save it! We saved it, and then we advised these bird catchers not to do such things again! It doesn't matter if we give you more money. We put these birds back into nature, and we will give all the merits back and forth to these people who are catching birds in the future. I hope these people can find a better industry, and don't do this kind of evil business to hurt themselves! Hurt these birds! But you can't say, "Don't buy it! Let these birds die of natural causes. Lock him up for life. Don't let him catch him again. 」。 Ladies and gentlemen, the starting point of the whole release is whether you have compassion! But this "compassion" is definitely not "paranoia." I only love stray dogs. I'm going to buy some chicken for my stray dog to eat and give it to eat. This is not "Buddhist compassion"! This is because you like a certain kind of pet. All the animals raised in our nursing park give it vegetarian feed in order to prevent him from recreating the evil behavior of "killing". Therefore, releasing is the real love for life! Is really helping the whole society! From the cause and effect of Buddhism, if many people are released, there will be no wars, infectious diseases and all kinds of disasters in this world. If a person often kills, or even someone wants to save his life and set it free, you stop him and condemn him. Everyone, see if it will cause hatred (I am not sad enough). This animal was stopped by you! As a media worker and a so-called scholar, I want to save lives today! You stop him! Will this reincarnation of life hate? There will be more "killing" in this world, and there will be more disasters in this world. So why release it? It is because of compassion that we want to save all lives! But compassion needs wisdom. You can't just let it go, and it won't harm the ecology or the survival of other animals. If you put a snake anywhere, even if it is nontoxic, it will eat frogs and small animals. This won't work! You bought a pangolin today. You set it free and it ate a lot of ants. This won't work! Therefore, everything that the Nursing Association is doing is released, which can be done after careful consideration. In Buddhism, what we set free has merit. Good is rewarded with good, and evil with evil. We also want to return these merits to the government officials, school teachers and even all of you in our country. Buddhist scriptures are well written. Why is a person sick? Even cancer! Because the act of "killing" will affect the present world from the past. Today, your parents got cancer and got sick. We all want me to give you my life! How do we give it? Guys, it's simple. It's about saving lives that are going to be killed. Then these fish live, and it will not kill other lives, and live happily. It was destined to be slaughtered! Then let's let it out, let it out, and take such a reaction. It will live a long and happy life without hurting other lives, and give it back and forth to the sick elders' families. Why did you stop this good thing? Help mankind to reduce the suffering! Let him reduce his illness! Let his family be happy! Make him happy! Even now, many young ladies have abortions, and she is very sad! So the Nursing Association kept telling her not to have an abortion! But she had an abortion, so we told her not to do it again, and to be vegetarian and read the scriptures. Then what do you want to save? Look, some pregnant fish have a lot of eggs in them. Put it back in the sea and its river, and it will carry on the family line. By doing such a reaction, an abortion person can get rid of her sin of abortion, and also make her happy inside and her body happy. And she doesn't have to have a bad relationship with this aborted child. This is a good thing! So Sakyamuni Buddha's so-called Elysium. In any pure land of Buddhism, there is no killing karma there. Why can the gods in heaven ascend to heaven? There are no animals being killed in the sky, so it is called heaven. Everybody have fun! All disasters in the world come from a large number of breeding and slaughter. What the Nursing Association can do today is a little bit of life, which is only saved by us. We have little money, but can we save more lives with this money? So we went to buy a lot of fry. Especially in milkfish, fishermen take a milkfish and a 50-cent as live bait. Guys, do you want to save it? These fish will not harm other lives! If you knew, of course you would save it. Similarly, I have one hundred thousand dollars today, which can save two hundred thousand lives. Why don't I do it? But today, aren't you going to buy these fish? Where did you come from to be given to you? Therefore, someone once said, "We should set legal restrictions on buying and selling.". He doesn't understand this thing when making this law. We sympathize with him and we have a chance to explain it to him. Therefore, some people have investigated the release of many temples, saying that these believers are greedy for merit. Ladies and gentlemen, he has merits and can be healthy and happy. Why not? Why do you object? All life is your mom and dad, your own children. Why do you object to it being saved? What are the reasons? Compassion is not enough, even Buddhists don't understand the teachings of Buddha! So many of us Buddhists, you have received a Bodhisattva precept, or a precept of becoming a monk. The Buddha tells you that when you see that life is going to be slaughtered, you should use your ability, methods and money to redeem its life and save it. This is the responsibility of Buddhists! This is a commandment! How can a Buddhist object to saving lives and releasing them? We can't oppose the release! We mean how to set free, which can be done more satisfactorily and will not harm other lives. Today we're going to buy small fish that are going to be killed or used as bait. This is not a profiteer! Businessmen don't raise them for your release! It's the cheapest to buy them when we release them, a few cents each! We just ask him to sell it to us, not to the market, to slaughter it and to the fishing tackle shop as bait, so please him. We have to go to the fish pond ourselves to catch these fish. We have to personally supervise and use various methods to reduce the damage to the minimum! Of course, some people will find fault and say, "Look! Don't buy the fish that were good in the fish pond, they won't be hurt during transportation. 」。 But have you ever thought that you won't buy it! These fish are a little bigger in a few months. Are they all dead and sent to the market? Even if you can save ten out of ten thousand, this is compassion! This is why we should release it! Because all life has feelings and has the right to pursue happiness and happiness. As disciples of the Buddha, we know the appearance and image of life. Although it is different from the essence of life, the so-called Buddha nature and feelings are the same. Therefore, the Nursing Association is not dedicated to releasing people! For the supernatural beings, we feed and cross it; For all sentient beings in the inferno, we let go of the flame, enlarge Mengshan and cross it; For the sentient beings in heaven, although they are happy now, we advise them to be bodhicitta and become bodhisattvas. Otherwise, the gods will end up enjoying themselves and will fall in the future. For humane beings, we should respect life and understand the meaning of life, and don't spend life on desire and enjoyment. Don't let your life hurt other lives! Being a vegetarian is of course the best! But obviously there are many lives, and now they are going to be slaughtered! Because some people say, "Being a vegetarian is a complete release. Just don't release a vegetarian. 」。 That's true, but obviously there are a lot of people, 24 million in Taiwan Province, 1 million are vegetarians, and more than 20 million are killing and eating meat. Can you go to from ruin? Of course we have to save it! So if the state legislates, tell the people not to release them. It becomes a law without justice! We also hope that this country will not have abortion or death penalty. If everyone knows the truth of life, the principle of life and the truth of reincarnation, the world will become a peaceful and happy world. Therefore, I hope that all the great virtues, gentlemen and ladies attending the public hearing will think about this issue together! To save all lives! Let's not object to saving lives. We can have a meeting to discuss how to save more lives safely! This is the responsibility of the national government, not people who are not understood by one or two people, who are not compassionate enough and have cognitive problems; Or being hyped by the media, or email you and surfing the internet every day, you just follow him. Then this is a dark world! At the same time, stand in the nursing association and stand in Buddhism! We should appeal to those who oppose the release to stop and not oppose it! Why is that fish you are opposed to? It was supposed to be saved. You object to them not being released. Our father will be killed again, and our children will be killed again. It's not that you only like to save a certain kind of animals, others deserve to die. Some of the raw laying hens raised in the market and the poor fish in the fish ponds can't be released. We rented a lot of fish ponds (perhaps because it can go to eat small fish), so we bought it and hired someone to take care of it for life. But we can go back to nature without hurting our lives and carry on the family line happily. We try our best to save it. This is the real definition of release! It is only for this reason that we respect all life, reduce the disasters of the world and mankind, and cultivate the compassion for the equality of public life. So you have seen our release in other media, especially when Haitao was attacked! I don't think I have any complaints. Because this is our lack of promotion of life education, this is our responsibility! But as long as a child is aborted and a chicken and fish are to be killed! We will always try our best to save it! Even if there is no way to save it, it was killed. All the merits and demerits of our daily practice of chanting Buddha should be returned to him. Those who wish to kill can change their minds and believe in cause and effect one day. I hope that the killed animals will not hate and get the pain of the last life. Reincarnate as a human being in the next life, and even go to paradise. People who want to oppose killing realize the equality of life. Don't study animals and protect them because of personal thoughts. Studying the bird ecology in Taiwan Province, is it difficult to kill all foreign birds? Don't be paranoid in a certain category! Taiwan Province and foreign countries are either expensive or cheap. A dead elephant and a living ant, the life value of the ant is more important than a dead elephant. Talent is not important, people are life, and any small fish is life. Therefore, I hope that the public will listen to your good knowledge and virtue, and everyone will think about it together. How can we save more lives? Then we are a caring person. Equal love is the world religion, regardless of religion. Animals are not created for human beings to eat. This is not the truth! A dog, a small fish, a caught bird and a pigeon are all equal! I hope that at this public hearing, everyone will brainstorm and discuss how to save more lives! How can we sort out those who don't understand the definition of release and criticize it so that they can understand it? Because they make mistakes, but they don't know what they are doing. We have to sympathize with him! If every life spoke, "Please help me!"! Please don't kill me! Please don't eat me! "None of us will do it. We have a lot of pigs, which is very painful. We have a lot of ostriches, chickens and ducks, watching them eat grass. We also begged those chickens to lay eggs all their lives and use them as feed alive. We bought it a 25-dollar, 20-dollar, we have a lot of animals, we have many caring people, and even he is not a Buddhist. Wear slippers every day and get dirty. After these chickens died, we helped them cremate and read Buddha like human beings. Please take a look at these works, even those who don't understand the definition of release and criticize it. Doing these jobs is criticized and called a fool every day! No why! Fish is not born for people to eat or catch. So it doesn't matter if you don't like the release, don't object to the release and don't object to others saving lives. Look at your heart, a fish, a bird, a pig, a dog; Empathy, it also has feelings, it has also been a parent of others, and it does not want its children to be slaughtered. Everyone present, if your son is kidnapped, threaten you to take out 1 million. You're really going to chip in. But a fish 1 yuan, 5 yuan, is it not life? Why not buy it and release it? Of course, we will buy and buy in large quantities, hoping that he will return to his happy and natural life and enjoy his life. We also tell those fish farmers that you can change jobs if you can, and you should not sell them to fishing tackle shops in the market or sell them to others to eat live fish. Sell it to us, and we can collect as much money as we can, and try to save it if we can. This is a Buddhist's understanding of the Buddha that all beings are equal and all beings are parents. Therefore, I hope that the great virtues will support life just as you support yourself. Let's save lives! We sympathize with those who don't understand, and we have to explain to him very softly. This is the real purpose of all of us gathered here! A small fish and a chicken feel the same as our life. Let's join the ranks of saving lives and helping the world! Amitabha!
