Master Cheng Gang replied: People have three jobs: body, mouth and mind. With their mouths, they can also do good things, do bad things and do bad things. There are two kinds of oral occupations, one is language occupation and the other is diet occupation. As everyone knows, it is sinful to lie and deceive people, to say all kinds of untrue things for your own benefit and to harm others and yourself. Although the degree is different, the essence of lying is common. Two tongues, two hooks; Yee language is a gorgeous silk fabric. For Yee, Yee language means some low-level, obscene, vulgar and confusing words. Bad words, hurtful words, abusive words, annoying words; Or gossip, nonsense, if there is no benefit, or joking, that is, not serious.
Orthodoxy is based on the eight right paths of Buddhism to initiate our words of purity. We should speak pure Buddhist language, so that we can understand people's hearts, feel them consciously, be selfish and altruistic, measure ourselves, and initiate interests for ourselves and all beings. So one is the oral career in language, and the life and death career is based on language.
I told you this morning. You can't just say that. In the scripture, the Buddha said that the serious oral industry also degenerated us into hell, hungry ghosts and animals. Just like in the world, we can make all beings feel happy by saying Buddhist words and interests; If it is harmful, vicious language can even make all beings lose their lives and suffer greatly, so this language can't be spoken casually.
There is a saying in the world called "Be sensitive to things, but be careful what you say". Just have something to say, think twice before you act. Should we say this, what is harm and what is benefit, and then introduce our positive language?
The other is diet. Diet is (another form of) oral industry. Greedy for the flesh of all beings, gluttonous for wine and meat, such as chicken, fish, eggs, leeks, garlic, tobacco and alcohol. These diets are taken from the identity of all sentient beings, which makes them suffer greatly from bloodshed and sacrifice. Besides, these foods smell bad, and after eating them, they will feel sleepy and unable to meditate. They attract evil spirits, recite scriptures and incantations disrespectfully, have unclean mouths and have no induction.
To make the three industries clean, fundamentally speaking, we must speak the right language and not say a word of gossip, nonsense or joke. Don't be greedy, the good ones don't be greedy, the bad ones don't hate, let nature take its course, especially the flesh of all beings, and break its five meats. The five meats in China are garlic, small garlic, garlic moss, garlic sprouts, leeks, small root garlic, green onions, shallots and onions.
In the Shurangama Sutra, the Buddha said that there are four kinds of pure Zoroastrianism and five kinds of meat should not be eaten. Five meats refer to these five stinking diets. Because after eating them, the Buddha said in the scriptures that monty came to lick our lips from the outside and approached us, so he recruited evil spirits, became dizzy and lustful, and didn't feel chanting. Because this diet smells bad. this is a ...
In addition, alcohol and tobacco, it is also a hobby, a bad habit, a hobby is a desire, no smoking, no drinking. In addition, the smell of tobacco and alcohol is foul, which makes the oral industry unclean.
Buddhist precepts are norms and rules that make our oral profession clean, so we should speak clean words. Buddhist disciples who study Buddhism from the heart do not eat the flesh of all beings. This is a basic practice and a basic symbol of being a good woman, a good woman, a good man and a good woman at home. Theoretically, this should be the case, so that we can correspond to the three conversions and the five commandments and the law of not killing.
Because we eat the flesh of all beings, if we want to think, say, make, say and read, they are all vicious creations, which are harmful and dark, born and dead, and bitter. It is better to take convenience and cut it off. However, all kinds of karma and karma in family and society are not allowed, but not because we don't allow it. We have no karma for committing crimes, and we must follow it when we have a career. So this depends on our personal understanding.
Because we are eager to learn Buddhism, how to correctly understand and treat it (must be clear). But as for saying that you can't eat meat, you can read the truth of the crime. How about this method? The mantra of extinction is that there is no way out of the bad karma we have created in the past. It can be eliminated by reciting the seven Buddha's curse, but we already know it is an evil artifact, which constitutes such a vicious artifact of life and death. Then we will eat meat, launch this vicious artifact, then recite the curse of extinction, and then extinguish the sin ... because the Buddha is compassionate, but the Buddha is out of reach.
For example, if it is inevitable to kill in the world, he will kill, and then recite the death curse and cross over. This is meaningless not only in our Buddhism, but also in the world. Because animals and the like, when they are people, they kill innocent people indiscriminately, causing endless harm and overeating to the bodies of all beings. So in the end, I followed the cause and effect and found myself an animal persecuted, slaughtered, sacrificed and eaten by others.
However, there is a shadow on the pole, and cause and effect have consequences. After we eat it, it is a karma, and this karma has been formed. We know this is a sin. If we do this again, we will do what we know and then use mantras to eliminate it. In this case, one is that the Buddha didn't teach it in the scriptures, so we can't find the basis, because we can't say what the Buddha didn't say; The other one doesn't make sense from the world, and neither one is appropriate.
If you recite a mantra, you should clean up the three karma. If you are not greedy, don't spit out your tongue, don't rot, don't slander, and don't say strange things, you will still eat the meat of five birds, don't eat the meat of all beings, and don't kill thieves. Mantras are the secret teachings of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, the names of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and the orders of ghosts and gods ... After the three realms are clean, we will recite mantras on the altar, and the mantra is also a mantra. This is consistent-consistent with our purification of body and mind, practice and elimination of karma.
If we do karma in front of us and then use a spell to remove it later, because we have already eaten meat and our mouths are not clean, it is inappropriate to recite the spell again, which is also contrary to the teachings of the Buddha. If we don't know that in the past, we didn't believe in Buddhism, ate meat and ate five meats, owed debts to all beings, and our mouths were unclean, now we know Buddhism and swear never to eat the meat of all beings again, and then we can eliminate evil and increase happiness by reading the inspiration of Buddhism and the mantra of God.
Where there is a spell, there is a Buddha. Therefore, it can't be said that after eating meat, you can recite incantations and curses to eliminate it, which is against Buddhism.
In addition, after eating the flesh of all beings, the mouth is not clean, and there is no induction in chanting Buddha. In addition, it is not the way to go on like this for a long time, because it is unconditional not to eat the flesh of all beings and not to kill their lives. Therefore, since we are eager to learn Buddhism, we should take advantage of the convenience to persuade our relatives and friends to cut off contacts. This is a way out and a bright source.
If the truth of eliminating sin can be eliminated, then the Buddha can't say that he can't eat the flesh of all beings. Eating the flesh of all beings and breaking the nature of great compassion is not what the Buddhists in the third world want to see. People who eat the flesh of all beings, the Buddha said in the scripture, even if we practice Buddhism and meditate, we will fall into the magic road in the future-the demon king above, the demon man below and the witch below, and then fall into hell, hungry ghost and animal road. Why?
Because the evil spirit has not been removed, it is in debt to all beings, eating the flesh of all beings, wearing the skin of animals, and forming a karma with animals, and it cannot go beyond the restrictions of animals. Therefore, in this sense, this method is not a feasible method, it is not feasible, it will be chaotic, and it is inconsistent with the Buddha's method.
Seven buddha's curse of the Buddhist is incredible, and it can really be read sincerely, just like pouring ice on hot soup. However, it refers to what we have done in the past, and now we realize it and do it when we are lost. Then the buddhas and bodhisattvas will be endowed with incredible power, and we will have a bright heart. We should thoroughly turn evil into good for light, and buddhas and bodhisattvas commend us for treating the mind and turning it into practice, so this is consistent with our practice and purification. This is a fact.
Because wild animals kill innocent people, do evil, and eat the flesh of all beings to satisfy their greed, they finally lost their lives and were persecuted by others.
Therefore, as a Buddhist disciple, we should be merciful, merciful, not only not killing creatures, but also not eating the flesh of all beings, and then concentrate on chanting. In this way, the accommodation industry can be eliminated quickly, and the disease is extremely interesting. Because this is the root of this great event, killing and eating meat is a heavy physical and mental evil, so we must cut it first, because we are greedy for the meat of all beings, so killing and bleeding. If everyone is a vegetarian, who will kill the living? There will be no killing.
Killing is the first evil, and killing is the crime of killing. The Buddha said that killing an animal's life, eating its flesh, wearing its skin, forming karma with animals and increasing its tolerance cannot go beyond the limits of animals. Not only the bones and muscles, flesh and blood, and brain marrow of all beings are the identities of all beings, but generally speaking, milk, goat milk, eggs and the like are also the identities of all beings.
Strictly speaking, this problem depends on how we understand and treat it. There is a difference between standardizing, purifying and strictly demanding one's own practice and carelessness. Our practice should be thoroughly purified, just like this jade, pure and flawless.
Just like this bucket, it was poisoned in the past. Now if you want to put the nectar, you have to wash it thoroughly, leave a little poison, put the nectar in, and your body will be poisoned and can't be used. Without doping, it is pure without doping. What we think, say and do are all related to the cause of online affairs, and they are all initiated by extraordinary merits, and they are not mixed with evil spirits. In this way, the heart is clean, the country is clean, and we will win.
If you keep eating the flesh of all beings, you will always get sick and your heart will not be removed. For example, like the example in this world: it is obviously not good to hit people even though you know it is not good to hit them, but you still have to hit people and apologize after hitting them. When we practice, we must stop all evils, leave nothing behind and do nothing. Eating meat is a serious and heavy sin. You have to cut, cut, chop, fry, fry and burn. We have the heart to see and eat. This kind of seed of life and death is planted in the eight-knowledge field, just as seeds are planted in the soil, poisonous weeds are planted on the ground, and poisonous weeds have to grow. So we should have compassion.
What is bodhicitta? Buddha said that compassion is. "If you have a big heart, you can hit ten places." The heart is incredibly big. Good intentions can eliminate crime and increase happiness. Don't be fettered by the karma of life and death in the world, make it convenient, explain the truth, avoid it as much as possible, and never launch such bad karma. Eat today, eat tomorrow, there is no end.
However, when reporting in the future, it is self-inflicted. Although parents are close relatives, they are different from each other, and no one will suffer for us. Therefore, life is impermanent, and now I understand that personal life is rare and Buddhism is hard to meet. Now I smell Buddhism, and I am persistent from generation to generation, creating karma and reincarnation. Life is impermanent and short, so every moment is very precious to us who study Buddhism.
"Get rid of the old industry with fate and never create new disasters." If we have the merit of chanting, then we will eat meat and eat meat, and both good and evil will be rewarded. Why do we have a happy life and a bitter life? That is, when we create karma, we create evil causes and good causes at one time, and there are both good and evil. Therefore, in this life, all joys and sorrows have to be paid, paid, and now paid, all based on the results and discoveries of karma.
But now that we know its sin, we should not overeat when we know it. It's better to cut it off for convenience. Don't make mistakes.
