A Vernacular Interpretation of master lianchi's "Don't Kill and Don't Let Go"

Master lianchi's "Stop Killing and Release" is incisive and round, which is both factual and reasonable. It mourns the interests of killing and arouses the nature of compassion and kindness of all beings. It is an excellent and vivid paper on killing and releasing, which is required reading. The following are the original explanations of ancient and vernacular Chinese:

People in the world take eating meat for granted. So I killed people at will and accumulated a lot of resentment. Generation after generation, interaction seems to be a vulgar and self-righteous behavior. Every time I think about it, I will cry and sigh deeply. Judging from its paranoia, there are seven items, which are listed below.

All sentient life must be the same. It is a strange thing that people eat meat. However, people who are not surprised are used to it, because their families have been handed down from generation to generation; It has also become a bad habit because of the interaction between neighbors. If someone eats human flesh now, everyone must be very shocked and urgently demand severe punishment. Why? Because I'm not used to it. It is normal to eat the meat of other animals. This is why I cried and sighed deeply. I am here to warn good people:

First, don't kill your birthday. Our parents gave birth to us and worked hard all our lives. Filial piety is our basic morality. The moment our bodies are born, our parents are dying. This day is a good day to abstain from killing, fasting and doing good. Only in this way can the deceased parents live a good life, and the living parents will increase their happiness and prolong their lives. If we kill creatures, it will leave evil for our parents in the world, but it will also be bad for ourselves and our children and grandchildren in the world. If you kill a business, you will be killed and you should quit it.

Second, children should not be killed. It is human nature that mortals are sad without children and happy with children. So is the animal kingdom. How can I have the heart to celebrate the birth of my children and kill their children? ! It is foolish not to accumulate moral benefits for babies when they are just born, but to stifle their lives and achieve their careers.

Third, sacrifice to ancestors should not kill. Killing should be prohibited on the anniversary of ancestors' death and during the Spring and Autumn Festival. Killing a living to pay homage to the dead is adding to the crime of the dead. Even if the food is placed on the same table, how can the body be enjoyed? Smart people don't do that.

Bloody meat is not necessarily precious, and vegetarianism is not necessarily bad. As descendants, it is important to cultivate one's morality carefully without violating the virtues of ancestors. This is the best sacrifice.

Fourth, don't kill anything at the wedding. Weddings in the world, from asking names to adoption to getting married, I don't know how many people will die. Marriage is the beginning of the continuation of the next generation, and it is against morality and ethics to do something that kills life at the beginning of life. Besides, the wedding is a gift. Isn't it tragic and unlucky to kill on the anniversary of death?

When people get married, they should be willing to grow old together. You want to grow old together, so do animals. People who have married women have been lighting red candles for three days in a row because their parents miss their divorced daughter. You suffer from the separation of flesh and blood, but will animals take pleasure in the separation of flesh and blood?

Five, banquet guests should not kill. In a good time, isn't it refreshing and elegant for virtuous hosts and noble guests to entertain with vegetarian soup? Why kill a lot of lives and be extravagant, while animals wail on the chopping block of the slaughterhouse?

If you know that the food on the plate comes from the wailing of several boxes of chopping boards and regard its extreme pain as my bliss, can you still swallow it? Can you not feel bad about it?

6. Pray that no one should be killed. When people are sick, they often kill things to sacrifice to God and pray for blessing. But think about it, what is more serious than killing it to prolong life and go against the sky? Only upright people can become gods. Will God be selfish? As a result, my life has not been prolonged, but my karma has increased. Killing is short-lived, but it's really the opposite!

Too many, too many, too many prayers to the gods, such as killing for children, killing for officials, killing for money and so on. Even if you get a child, a pipe and a fortune, it will be a blessing for yourself in your last life. This is a matter of duty, not ghosts and gods. If you believe in the efficacy of ghosts and gods, then Jaken's evil knowledge will be more serious and hopeless. How sad!

Seven, making a living should not kill. People live for food and clothing, or hunt, or fish, or be butchers. In my opinion, these industries can survive without doing anything. Killing will be punished by the gods, leading to disaster and death. And the deep cause and effect of hell caused by all kinds of killing will be the root of evil in the afterlife. Why not make a living?

I once saw a butcher who killed sheep with his own eyes. When he died, his mouth bleated like a sheep. There are also eels. Before he died, his head was bitten by an eel, leaving teeth marks. These two things happened to my neighbors, not legends. Therefore, I advise the world that if there is no just and just livelihood, it is better to beg than to make a fortune. It is better to starve to death than to kill for a living. Alas, you must give up killing!

Note: master lianchi (1535- 16 15), a monk in Ming Dynasty, was the eighth founder of China Pure Land Sect. The common surname is Shen, the famous book is Hong, the word is Fohui, and the nickname is Lianchi. Because he has lived in Yun Qi Temple for a long time, he is also known as Master Yun Qi. They, together with Bai Zizhen, Hanshan Deqing and Ou Yi Xuzhi, are called the four great monks in Ming Dynasty.

Master lianchi "don't kill don't let go" the original:

It is a matter of course to eat meat and salty in the world, but it kills life at will, accumulates grievances and learns from each other without knowing it. There used to be a saying that I cried with a sigh of relief. Counting his obsession, the left table is slightly seven, and the rest can be taken as an example.

Everyone who knows it will be the same, and it is strange that people eat meat. However, those who are not surprised are good in the family and common in the neighborhood. I practiced for a long time, and I don't know what's wrong, but I think it's right and ridiculous. Today, those who kill and eat will be horrified and punished. What is this? Don't learn to do the same thing. There is no ban on killing people. In the past few years, people who cook with human flesh have spread all over the world. So the world is used to doing things without knowing it, and it is also a long-term sigh for crying.

It is not advisable to kill on birthday. Mourn for my parents and give birth to me. The day I was born was also the day my parents died. It is also a day, and it is appropriate to abstain from killing and fasting for good deeds. Comfort dies first, and he rises early. Now, Chunxuan has extended his life. It's hard to forget your mother, and killing is not good for you. The world is used to doing things without knowing it, and crying for a long time can be one.

Emperor Taizong, the master of all things, doesn't like his birthday. Tian She Weng received ten more welcome millet, which was a feast for the guests. I don't know what that is. In this world, there are birthday banquets, monks chanting scriptures and practicing good deeds. How kind they are! Second, it is not advisable to kill children. Mortals are sad without children, but happy with children. I don't think about all the livestock, but I also love my son, celebrate my son's life and let his son die. How can I feel at ease? It is foolish for husband and baby to start their lives, not to accumulate happiness, but to kill for their careers. The world is used to doing things without knowing it, and crying for a long time can last for a second.

A hunter got drunk at dusk, regarded his young son as a roe deer, sharpened the blade to kill him, and his wife cried and persuaded him, but actually cut her stomach, left her intestines and fell asleep. Dawn calls her son and enters the market. The wife cried and said, "So is the son you killed yesterday." The man threw himself at each other, and the five men were equally divided. Hey! Although people are different from animals, if you love your son, can you kill him?

Third, it is not advisable to kill before sacrifice. The death of the deceased, as well as the spring and autumn festival sweeping, should prohibit killing, in order to be blessed. Killing a life with sacrifice will only increase the ears of people in the industry. My husband and Babao are just around the corner. How can he remember the legacy of Jiuquan and let it eat? It's useless and harmful, and smart people can't do it. The world is used to doing things without knowing it, and crying for a long time can do three things.

Or: "Liang Wudi sacrificed his face, and the world laughed at him for letting his ancestors not eat blood." Hey! Blood food is not necessarily precious, and food is not necessarily evil. It is more important for a son to take good care of his body, not to worship his ancestors, but to be kind. Is it necessary to use blood for blood sacrifice? Sacrifice is better than killing cattle, and the Book of Changes shows a clear lesson. Sacrificing to raise children is unfilial, and owning Jia Mo is sacred. Is it necessary to use blood for blood sacrifice?

Fourth, don't kill anything at the wedding. The wedding in the world requires you to be famous or even get married, and the life of the murderer is unknown. It is against the principle that a married man is born at the beginning of life and killed at the beginning of life. The wedding was held again, and Li Ji came. Isn't it miserable to use evil things on auspicious days of the zodiac? The world is used to doing things without knowing it, and crying for a long time can make four.

Ordinary people get married in the hope that husband and wife will grow old together. Do you want to grow old together, or do animals want to die first? Married to a woman's house, candle for three days, thinking of leaving each other. You are bitter for separation, and animals are happy for separation? Believe that marriage is not suitable for killing!

Fifth, banquet guests should not kill. What a beautiful day, the sage is the host of the guests, and it is better to eat soup and be clear. You don't have to kill life widely, you don't have to be extremely rich, you don't have to sing in cups and plates, and you don't have to kill grievances with an anvil. Ha ha! Can people with a heart not be sad? The world is used to doing things without knowing it, and crying for a long time can make five people.

If you know what's on the plate, it's extremely bitter for you and I'm extremely happy for you. Although I eat it, I won't swallow it. Aren't you sad?

Six-day prayer is not suitable for killing. There is a disease in the world, so it is even more unreasonable to kill him and pray for God's blessing instead of praying for myself. An upright husband is a god. Does God have anything personal? Life cannot be delayed, and the cause of killing is. All kinds of sacrifices are repeated. This is the practice all over the world without realizing that crying for a long time can be six.

Pharmacologists say in the classic: "Kill all sentient beings, release the gods, summon shadows, and seek happiness. May Hebei prolong its life and never succeed." The so-called life cannot be delayed, and the killing industry is also there. All kinds of sacrifices, such as killing for children, killing for wealth, killing for officials and so on. And their children, wealth and officials are all decided by themselves, not by ghosts and gods. Occasionally, if you are full of desire, you will say that you have spirit. The stronger your belief, the more you will do it. Jaken whistling, hopeless, sad husband!

Seventh, it is not advisable to kill people for business. People get food and clothes by hunting, fishing or slaughtering cattle, sheep, pigs and dogs. And I don't think that if you don't engage in this industry, you will have food and clothing, and you may not freeze to death. It is God's will to kill people for a living. Nobody killed Changyu. The deep reason for planting hell is that evil will be rewarded in the afterlife, and Moss did it. Why not? Why not survive? This is the practice all over the world and you don't know it. You can cry for a long time.

Seeing that the butcher who slaughtered sheep is dying, his mouth will sing, the eel seller will die, and his head will bite like an eel. These two things are close neighbors, but they are not legends. I advise the world that if there is no livelihood, it is better to beg for food. It is better to die of hunger than to be born of killing. Whew! Do not quit?

As listed above, it is natural. When people read it, they will think it is true. If you can quit completely, it better be good. No, we should do what we can, or go to four or five, or ban two or three. Except for one thing, an industry will be eliminated. If there is one less killing, Du Yi will complain. If you can't break the fishy smell, go to the market to buy something first, and there is no need to commit suicide or be killed. Cultivate kindness and get better gradually. Gentle people are more interested in exhibition circulation and mutual persuasion. Persuading a person not to kill is like saving a million lives. Persuade to ten people, hundreds of people, trillions of people, great yin gong, endless good results. But if you are willing to believe it, you will never make money.
