Unfortunately, metaphor can't be used as evidence.
Buddhism believes that people may be reincarnated as animals after death. Indians practiced Zen 2,500 years ago, and some people used magical powers to see them. However, their insight into the sky can't make him understand why his avatar saw some people go to heaven to be humane after death, some people continue to be humane after death, and some people go to the beast road after death.
Su Shitong, the avatar of Sakyamuni Buddha, can see through cause and effect, so he said he saw something. This is why Buddhism believes that there are six divisions in the wheel of karma. It's not just Buddhism. Some people may have other religious beliefs, or they may not have any. For some reason, they cultivated or acquired magical powers, and they also saw the existence of six divisions in the wheel of karma.
How do you explain the killing between animals?
Tell a story first. Two people made a bad wish before their death: "To kill many people after death". Later, after their death, when their evil wishes matured, they cast a ghost road and turned it into a heady hag, taking away a lot of lives. Of course, their evil deeds will also sow evil consequences.
Animals have different shapes and instincts, all of which are related to their previous lives' personalities and wishes. Their evil desires have matured and become carnivores, so they can survive by killing for a lifetime, and their evil deeds can't avoid the consequences.
Like a murderer's instinct to kill. You mentioned "not evil, but instinct". Isn't the killer's instinct evil? Of course not, their instinct comes from their previous wishes and habits, and evil deeds will also plant cause and effect.
Let me turn to a related story. The following "I" refers to the author, not me.
On May 20th of the year before last, when Chang Rui's monk came to my house, she told me such a thing. She said:
There is a dog in our temple. The dog is responsible for watching the gate. How did it come from? One day, a farmer came to the temple with a newborn puppy in his hand and told the master that my bitch had given birth to a litter of dogs. Only this one doesn't eat, put it in front of the nipple, don't eat or feed anything. At this rate, she will starve to death one day. What do you think, master? Master looked at it and said, OK, you can give it to me. Later, Master took the puppy and sent someone to the kitchen to get cakes (steamed bread). The master put it in his mouth, bit it in his hand, and then put it in the puppy's mouth, and the puppy ate it. In this way, the puppy grew up in the temple.
This temple is called Ruxiang Temple, and it is also an ancient temple. Later, only ruins were left. In recent years, many lay people in Tianjin have tried to raise funds to rebuild this temple. Ruxiang Temple has an indissoluble bond with Tianjin laity.
One day, some lay people in Tianjin were chatting in the street. When they talked about "Ruxiang Temple", a passing woman suddenly stopped and said, "Sorry, sisters, I just heard you talk about Ruxiang Temple. Where is it? " "Ruxiang Temple is in Shaanxi." "Can you show it to me?" "Do you also believe in Buddhism?" "I don't believe it." "You don't believe in Buddhism. What are you doing there? "
"I'm sorry, I will tell the truth. I had a dream the other night, in which my son stood clearly in front of me and said to me,' Mom, don't be sad, I have been watching the gate at the Ruxiang Temple.' When I wake up, I feel my son is the same as when I was alive. "
The layman asked, "What happened to your son?" She said sadly, "My son left in a car accident a few years ago."
Everyone saw her sad expression and promised to take her with them in a few days without asking much. A few days later, they arrived at the Ruxiang Temple. As soon as the woman entered the door, she asked the master, "Where is the reception room of the temple?"
The owner of the temple said, "Our main hall has just been built, and the wall has not been built yet. How can I have a reception room? Here is Xiaohu watching the night every day. " Hearing the situation of Xiao Hu, the woman was shocked: "Ah! Xiao Hu, when my son was alive, his nickname was Xiao Hu. " When she said this, the lay people present were very surprised and took her to find Xiaohu. Seeing no one, the women shouted "tiger, tiger!" At this moment, a dog came running from a distance. It recognized its mother in a previous life, knelt at the feet of its own mother, opened its mouth and cried, with tears streaming down her face. ...
This thrilling scene made everyone present cry. The woman couldn't restrain her grief, holding the dog and crying loudly: "Son!" Tiger! What the hell is going on! "
On May 20th, when Rui Shi told me about it, he burst into tears and said, "If only I had a camera and a video recorder. This scene is so touching. Anyone who is on the scene can't believe the six divisions in The Wheel of Karma! "
In order to investigate this matter clearly, in the spirit of seeking truth from facts, Chen Jushi and Wang Jushi and I began to follow up this matter. We arrived at Guangling Temple on March 20th, 1999. At first, the walls and ground of the temple were not leveled, and a big clock in Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty was not hung. We met the abbot of the temple, the old mage Huan Di. Unfortunately, the old master is ill. After he knew our purpose, he only said, "I only know that people cried dogs at that time." I am not in front of me, and I dare not talk nonsense about other situations. "
My dog died on1August 6, 1998/kloc-0, so we didn't see the dog or the client in this long-distance investigation. After going back and forth to Tianjin, we found the photos of dogs according to the clues provided by everyone, and at the same time found the Tianjin layman who built the Ruxiang Temple at that time. Among them, Li said, "Every time we go to the temple, we find a phenomenon that tigers don't bite Tianjin people. Once I saw Xiaohu tear a man's clothes in Shanxi with my own eyes. Tigers are fierce when they bite people. I went to Ruxiang Temple eleven times. Every time I leave the temple, I say hello to the tiger:' Tiger, we are going back to Tianjin. See you later. You should practice well and seek a paradise!' It is true that the tiger cried when he finished speaking. "
