Iron beads enter the belly ("Cause and Effect Witness" )

Gong Fu from Kunshan is good at using bird guns.In the summer of the year of Renyin in Shunzhi, fire was used to illuminate the gunpowder in the gun. Mars burst into the medicine, and the fire was spurted out, and the beards were burned. The iron beads died from their chest to their abdomen.

[according to ]Such people will definitely fall into the Iron Pill Hell (A layer in hell.There are hot iron balls, and the prison guards drive the sinner to capture them, and their hands and feet will be burned. )。If you are born into the human world, you should receive three kinds of retribution: one is fire injury, the other is death from a cannon; the third is death from a frightened and crazy death.Sakyamuni Tathagata was the Trayastrimsa king and fought against Asura countless kalpas.When he came back, there was a golden-winged bird's nest on the big tree.Indra thought: “If my soldiers come, the bird eggs will definitely be damaged."The driver ordered the driver to turn the thousand-spoke wheel.When Shura saw Indra suddenly turned the wheel and retreated in fear.Because of the power of charity, Indra won the victory (Detailed release of "The Sutra of the Resurrection of the Age of Life" )。Indra could not bear to hurt an egg, let alone the ordinary people who were blessed can see it.All living beingsIs it like grass?

Persuading to slaughter

Although pigs and sheep are animals, fear of death is the same as us.For example, when a pig farmer just received the price of a butcher, the pig cried and refused to eat it. Although he couldn't say it, he knew that his life was in his heart for a moment.So when you are tied up, your wail is shocking, and when you go out, you hide and dodge.The butcher took a step, and the pig was terrifying. When he saw one person, he hoped that he would save him. When he arrived at the butcher's sect, he saw the butcher reaching out to grab him and holding a knife, he shouted loudly.It is called heaven but the sky does not give a ladder, it is called earth but the earth does not borrow a hole.Looking around is nothing more than killing oneself; looking forward and backward are all tools that harm the body.Suddenly, I lay on my back on the bed, and the sharp knife penetrated my abdomen.This is like boiling oil initiation, this is like thousands of arrows piercing the heart, the sound turns low due to extreme pain, and the eyes are closed due to blood. Such suffering cannot be said, can't be said, can't be said, can't be said, can't be said, can't be said? It's a pity! When this pig was a human being in the past life, did not have parents cherished it as brothers and feet? Helplessly, the chef treats it as mud and sand; does not have wife and children cherish it as confidant, and can't butcher kill it as grass.The evil karma in the previous life was terrible, and only then did I know this day; where are the heroes of the past today? If you don’t seek liberation, everyone will inevitably do so.Once you enter the cycle of reincarnation, you will fall in all directions.Therefore, the Western Pure Land should always be practiced by men or women;Avoid killing and release animals，If you are wise or foolish, you should encourage yourself.Please look back now and don’t wait until the next life will regret it.

Pigs seek life ("Awakening the Message" )

In the early years of Chunxi of the Song Dynasty, at the intersection of Jingshan Road in Taizhou, there was a man named Zhao Ni who worked in the butcher industry for generations.One night I dreamed that there were hundreds of thousands of pigs, and they all spoke human words and told him, "We were killed and suffered all the pain. Today your sin is full, so leave quickly."The next day he was about to get up to slaughter the pig, and suddenly screamed and died in a mad manner.

[according to ]I heard that the butcher killed pigs and stabbed the heart with a sharp knife, and the pig died, otherwise he would still scream.Alas! I am sure this pig will have killed him in his previous life.His killing is with his heart; he must have eaten meat, and the meat he eats is with his heart; he must have slandered the Three Jewels, and he slandered the Three Jewels, and he also slandered the Three Jewels.If your heart is done by itself, can you not suffer?

Anger and killing are retribution (See "Jingjietang Bicheng" )

Shao from Zhejiang works in the butcher industry, raises several pigs, and slaughteres them according to their fatness and thinness.Suddenly, a pig knelt down and shed tears. Shao had no compassion, but instead killed it with anger.It rained slightly that day, and the meat was placed on the chopping board until the evening.Shao was very resentful and stood on the stool wearing slippers, took the meat and hung it on the iron hook of the beam of the house. Unexpectedly, he used too much force and the stool fell on the stool. The meat fell on the ground, and the hook passed through the palm of his palm, and the person hung it on it and couldn't get down.The family hurriedly rescued him, and Shao Yi fainted from pain.When I was brewing wine, I ate it with wine and lees when I was in pain.It was so dirty that it was clearly a pig. He died after lying on the bed and shouting for more than 20 days.

[according to ]The common feelings of human beings do not want wealth, but the butcher is extremely poor; the common feelings of human beings do not want to die well, but the butcher will definitely die suddenly; the common feelings of human beings do not want to reunite with their families, but the butcher is dispersed, so why do that job? When the Buddha was alive, there was a butcher who taught his son how to kill sheep. The son wanted to join the Buddha and became a monk and did not accept his advice.The father was angry and locked a sheep with his son in a room and said, "If you don't kill this sheep, you will commit suicide with this knife."The son pondered for a long time, thinking that he would rather die than break the Buddha's precepts.So he raised his sword and committed suicide. In the blink of an eye, the soul was born in the Trayastrimsa Heaven and enjoyed infinite joy. (See the "Candravada" for details )。Therefore, Master Lianchi said, "I advise people in the world that if they have no livelihood, they would rather be a beggar and beg for food.It is better to endure hunger than to live by creating karma.”

Advise the chef

Today, people only suffer great losses, suffer great suffering, and make great grudges for the word "food and clothing".It is unnecessary to suffer, suffer, and make grudges. Why? The industry that hurts children is just to serve parents and support their wives and children, and you will have food sooner or later.However, the business of other industries may not be unable to serve parents, support their wives and children, and have a meal sooner or later.So isn't it very stupid to make enemies for generations? If you have to do this in the industry, then if you live in the toilet for a long time, you can't come out? Alas! People today say that changing careers is inconvenient, and you don't know how to wear hair and horns. (animal )Later, there will be even more inconvenience! Why not resolutely change when it is inconvenienced since childhood?

The same car broke (See "Self-Calling Edit" )

Fanghu, Hangzhou, works as a chef and opens a butcher shop at the same time.In Hangzhou, it is customary to kill animals and sacrifice gods at the end of the year, and then they will hold a knife and kill animals for others from house to house. It has been many years.Later, when he entered Chang'an, he was drunk and slept on the road. Suddenly, a big cart passed quickly, crushing his chest, abdomen, lungs and intestines. No one he saw was covering his nose.

[according to ]Those who kill, end up with pigs, sheep, chickens and dogs, stare and stick out their tongues, and can't remember them all.These are all things that do not know Buddhism, so they create such karma.A kind and gentleman should be compassionate, tactfully enlightened, and advised him to change his career. If he could repent, he would not only save tens of thousands of creatures.Why bother with other people’s ridicule?

Dead like a loach (See "Killing Jiong" )

Chen Wu, a native of Xiuzhou, said the roasted dried loaches were delicious and people rushed to buy them.Later, Chen fell ill and just jumped in the bed, his whole body was festered.Only then did his wife say that Chen cooked loaches with the most miserable method. The current disease is very similar to the death of loaches.

[according to ]The scripture says: "Everyone fears a knife and a staff, loves life span."It is common to people in the world that they cut the head of a loach and their bodies are still jumping. How willing is it.How can Chen Wu come back to life and tell all the people who kill loaches?

Eels are creampied ("Record of Nursing Life" )

A small man from Wuxing sold eels to make a living, but later he developed evil sores. Each sore was shaped like an eel head, and his whole body was entangled and he died of pain.His wife and children also starved to death one after another.

[according to ]Zhou Yu, a bachelor, once cooked eels. He saw that there was a body bent upwards and his head and tail was in the soup. He saw that there was a seed in his belly. He just arched his body to avoid the soup.I sighed with pity and never ate it.

Rebirth ("Longshu Pure Land Text" )

Zhang Zhongkui of the Tang Dynasty killed a chicken to make a living.Later, I got sick and saw a man in red trance driving away the chickens and pecking his eyes and hands, in pain.An old monk heard that, he hurriedly prepared a Buddha statue for him, burned incense and saluted him, chanted the holy name of Amitabha Buddha, and asked Zhang Zhixin to recite it.After half a day, suddenly the room was filled with strange fragrance and Zhang Anran passed away.

[according to ]《Ksitigarbha Sutra》It is said: "At the time of death, others chant the name of Buddha's name for him, and all the sins and obstacles will gradually be eliminated, let alone sentient beings claim to be self-recited.” (When you are dying, others can help you chant Buddha's name, which can eliminate your sins, let alone chanting yourself )Because of the evil appearance, Zhang Zhongkui turned his mind to recite the Buddha's name, and his sincerity was ten thousand times more than ordinary.Although there is a serious crime, it is like a thousand-year-old dark room, and it is illuminated by a light.What sins are immortal and what blessings are not born? In the past, Amitabha Buddha made forty-eight great vows before he became a Buddha.It says: "If I become a Buddha, my reputation will be beyond the ten directions, and the human and heavenly being happy to hear it, they will be born in my world, and hell ghosts and animals will also be born in my world.” (See the "Big Book of Amitabha Sutra" for details )。So I know that no matter whether it is a celestial immortal or a ghost, as long as you can chant the Buddha's name, there is nothing you don't want to be guided.Isn’t it a shortcut to transcend reincarnation?

Advise the opening of cooked wine shops

Everyone knows that there is a spring coming, and each family has a rice valley for spring coming.Everyone knows that there is a next life, so why not cultivate the blessings of the next life? For example, killing as a livelihood, it is originally intended to eat, but before the life span is reached, there are causes of death and sudden death, there are causes of terrible causes, after death, there are causes of repaying debts, and there are causes of hell.Isn’t it because the gains are very little and the losses are very large? A kind person earnestly tells the killer to those who kill, and will receive infinite blessings.

Difficult appearance (See "Good Life Record" )

Zheng in Hangzhou opened a cooked food hotel and killed many lives.When he died, he saw a group of animals coming to ask for his life and said that the chicken was coming, so he flapped his arms, as if the chicken was killed and its wings were scattered.When he said that the goose came, he stretched out his neck and waved his arms, his throat was dull and he made a sarcastic look.He said that when the turtle came, he shrank his head and hands and feet, and looked like he was plucked into a ball.Every time I say something, I will make the appearance of something being killed, and die if I do all kinds of evil.

[according to ]Someone asked: "Everything is created by the mind. Since Zheng killed his life when he was alive, it is not the same type of life, but the one who asked for death at the end of his life is not the same type.Then, in the following life, will you receive one animal retribution in a few kinds? Or in addition to the other retribution?” Answer: “Since the karma of killing is very heavy, you will receive heavy retribution from the evil paths of the three paths.The retribution of the three evil paths is over, and then the revenge is paid to collect debts and repay their lives.If in the past, if there are many chickens killed, the chicken will be first received; if there are many turtles cooked, the turtles will be first received.The same is true for killing other lives.For example, if you owe a debt, you should pay it back first.”

Snake proliferation

In the summer of the 17th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi, there were people selling eel noodles in Nanjing, and the houses were full of markets.One day, when his wife was about to give birth, a big snake came out of her belly and gave birth to hundreds of small snakes, crawling around the room. The woman was scared to death.

[according to ]Killing like this, the heart turns into a snake first, how can there be no strange snakeBad retribution?

Advise fasting (This article is the ultimate goal of abstaining from killing )

The disaster of swords and weapons, in humanity, is seen every decade or every several years.As for the animal realm, there is nothing that will not be seen for a day.In the world, whenever the rooster crows in the sky, there are countless cruel butchers, holding sharp swords in their hands, and strangling all the beasts.At that time, animals knew that disaster was coming, jumped loudly, shocking the earth, unable to rescue them, and were each faced by people. (Evil ghosts )，The abdomen is split and the heart is pricked, the intestines are pulled, and the lungs are pulled, and the sorrow is constantly poured into the boiling soup, causing great trouble.In a moment, in the world of Yanfu, tens of millions of creatures, their heads and feet are separated from each other, and their bones and flesh are covered with stars.The accumulated corpses can exceed the top of the mountain; the collected blood can dye the rivers red; see the phenomenon, the tragic situation exceeds the new massacre; listen to the sound, it exceeds the thunderous tremor.The beginning of such infinite evil karma is caused by our eating meat.Then the guilt of eating meat will be repaid.People often say, "I have never done evil, why should I fast?" Alas! How could you know that when you are resting in bed, there are people you don't know who have committed evil karma for you first? What's more, "the body and hair are accepted by your parents." You cannot nourish it with different flesh and blood.I once saw a medical book saying: "Pregnant women eat crabs and suffer from vertical births."And said: "A man eats a male dog (Male dog genitals )，Can strengthen aphrodisiac."The crab's temperament is rampant. Eating its taste requires rampant nature, so it is rampant. (Difficult )。The dog's temperament is the most lustful. Eating its taste will lead to lustfulness, so it can strengthen yang.This is true for crabs and dogs, and then all birds, beasts, fish and turtles must be true for them.Today, people eat countless smells of water and land from childhood to old age. After accumulating for a long time, the flesh and bone marrow around them will be too heartbroken.Therefore, knowing that keeping fasting is indeed a pure and noble style. People who do not hold the precept of killing dare not use this principle to force it. Since people who hold the precept of killing can do not use this principle to encourage each other?

Dreams of gods ("The Book of the Fruits" appears )

Zhang Erqiu of Kunshan is the elder brother of Mr. Bing'an.He especially believed in the Three Jewels and tried his best to do good deeds. In the winter of the Wuyin year of Chongzhen, he invited the monk Dashuzheng from Sanfeng to conduct a meditation period in Qingliang Temple.Zhang accidentally ate fresh fish and eggs. That night, he dreamed of the temple gate and saw more than 50 gods with green hair and fangs on the eighth part of the Dragon God. He was about to leave and asked in a hurry why.Answer: "We are the gods who protect the temple. You are the master of the expectation. You go home and eat meat, so you are leaving."Zhang asked for repentance in his dream, and the gods came back.From then on until the end of the March meditation period, we insisted on fasting.

Break the vegetarianism and reward the karma (The next three things are the same as before )

Wei Yingzhi of Kunshan is the son of the Zishao clan.In the spring of the Gengwu year of Chongzhen, he slept in the same room with Zishao, and suddenly cried in his dream and recited the Buddha's name.Zishao asked in shock and replied, "I dreamed of the underworld and saw the officials in the underworld coming with a life-and-death situation. My name was in the hanged book.The following note says: 'One day in three years, I will hang myself in the study.'What sins do I ask? I answer 'There is no way to escape the karma', and I ask what method can I avoid it. 'There is no more than long-term fasting and chanting Buddha's name, and diligencePracticeBetter, maybe it can be exempted'."So Wei said to Zishao, "Nephew, I have been practicing wholeheartedly from now on.""Then he held a long fast, chanting Buddha's name in the morning and evening, and diligently improved for eight months.Later, friends from the Wenshe laughed and said, "This is just a dream."How could a man be confused?” From then on, fast gradually broke.In the spring of Guiyou year, I closed the door for no reason and hanged myself in the study.I dreamed of the same dream for three years. (Such literati are the world's worms, and their eyes are like beans. They can be pityed, but there are many. )

Eat meat and finally fall into a state of destiny

Pinghu's advice (Official name )Ma Jiazhi, whose courtesy name is Peiyuan.In the Jiaxu year of Chongzhen, he passed the imperial examination and practiced integrity.When he was appointed as the county magistrate, he followed the instructions of an official and killed two small officials who owed grain.On New Year's Day, I suddenly saw two ghosts expressing their graves. The horse said, "This is what a certain Taiwan official means.""The ghost said: "I am the two of you, and if you ask questions, you can tell.But because he was furious and could not be distinguished, he died unjustly.Now, although we both dare not take any life, the master will die soon.Be the city god of Puqi County."The horse was very disgusted.So he kept the fast and worshipped Monk Xuedou Shiqi to become a monk. His Dharma name was Xingdan and his name was Sengxiang.I have been practicing purely for twelve years.I accidentally ate eggs because of a minor illness.At night, two officials said, "I can't keep it because I broke the precepts.I should go to Puqi one day."Die when it expires.
