Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Caring for Life and a Vegetarian Diet
護生與素食
The most precious thing in the world is life. If we don’t have a healthy body and long life, gold and precious metals are meaningless. Conversely, if we can restore our health and lengthen our lives, it is worthwhile for us to pay large amounts of gold and precious metals. The most precious thing in the world is life!
The most miserable thing in the world is killing. We recite Amitabha’s Name to keep ourselves safe from disasters, enrich our blessings, and extend our longevity. Moreover, we should not kill and protect the lives of sentient beings.
世間最寶貴的就是生命,如果沒有健康的身體,長壽的生命,再多的黃金白銀對你來講都沒意義,反之,如果能夠贖回生命,付出再多的黃金白銀都值得,因為世間上最寶貴的就是生命。天下最悲慘的就是殺生,所以我們念佛讓自己消災免難、增福延壽,也要不殺生,應該保護眾生的生命。
Namo Amituofo!
