What do you mean you don't kill people?

Not killing is a code of conduct that abides by Buddhist thought, respects life, is charitable and does not harm life. In Buddhism, all beings are equal and life is valuable, so we should not hurt and destroy other lives because of our own selfish desires or interests. The significance of not killing is not only to protect human life, but also to protect animals, plants and the whole nature.

Not killing is a moral principle that has a far-reaching impact on the whole society, human beings and the environment. It can guide people to form a sympathetic and peaceful mind, and enhance people's moral concept and spiritual cultivation. People who learn not to kill will respect life more, weaken their dependence on material things, and be more conducive to the purification of the soul, thus making the society more civilized, harmonious and stable.

The practice of not killing animals requires us to make some efforts in our daily life. First of all, we should understand the importance of all kinds of life, advocate vegetarianism in shopping and food intake, and try to avoid using decorations made of bloodsucking animals. Secondly, we should strengthen environmental awareness and protect wildlife, pets, plants and the whole environment. Finally, it is necessary to promote the idea and practice of not killing life in family education, social activities and work, so that more people can realize the importance of not killing life, thus forming common social ethics and values.
