Chapter 117 Everyone wants to kill

"... Form is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from form, form is emptiness, emptiness is form, and the same is true for perception and recognition. Sariputra is the empty appearance of all dharmas, neither born nor destroyed..." The guest read a picture on the wall, roughly read When I came to this "Immortality and Immortality", I found that there was a moth in the scriptures sandwiched under the glass; the worm was smaller than a sesame seed, and the color was like rice paper. If you don't look carefully, this worm may live in this painting forever , still "neither born nor destroyed, neither dirty nor clean, neither increasing nor decreasing..." But the guest saw it and shouted: "There are worms!"

My immediate reaction was: press an index finger on the glass, to let the worm into nirvana immediately. Worms don't attack me, I don't offend insects, why is my mind suddenly empty, only killing intent? The Buddha said: All living beings "all have Buddha nature". But all sentient beings, I suspect, also "have the intention to kill". It is not necessary to kill gods when you meet gods, kill Buddhas when you meet Buddhas, kill ants when you see ants, and kill cockroaches when you see cockroaches.Pure instinct, kill when you see it, forget it when you kill it; goodbye, kill again, forget it again.We are inherently cruel and ungrateful; being able to let ants live is a matter of self-cultivation, self-cultivation, and finally understanding: killing indiscriminately is not good.

"There is no ignorance, nor the end of ignorance, nor even old age and death, nor the end of old age and death..." The guest blocked me, and I took a moment to slow down. The bug had to save its life, and still live in the scriptures, practice it, and eat a bite of paper , Recite a paragraph of Buddha. "If there are no insects, you can put it in the sun and dry it, and the insects will not live in it." The guest said.It just enlightened me.People, put yourself in the sun to bask in the sun, it is fair and aboveboard, and it is not easy to grow insects. "At the end of the day, killing intent is not easy to extinguish." I said: as soon as the TV is turned on, there are animals that want to be slaughtered. "Beasts can show humanity, that's the value of animals, the use of animals." The guest seems to be a farmer.After speaking, he turned into an eminent monk and drifted away.
