Master Huiguang 2020-08-14

Questions and Answers for the Five Precepts with Precepts (three )--Huiguanghe’s teachings - Question: After observing the precept of not killing, can you eat meat?Answer: The content of the precept of not killing basically means that one cannot kill people, or even that one cannot kill other sentient beings due to anger, greed and other afflictions, rather than specifically referring to the precept of not eating meat. The precept of not killing has nothing to do with vegetarian food."Isn't killing a living thing vegetarian?"uncertain.So there is no prohibition. You must eat vegetarian food, not necessarily eat vegetarian food. This is not what it means.Question: What are the merits of upholding the precept of not killing?Answer: The merit of not killing can cultivate our compassion. Killing is to seize the lives of sentient beings and make compassion unfulfilled.The precept of not killing is the first precept, because Buddhism is based on compassion, and without compassion, there will be no Buddha.Only by upholding the precepts of not killing can you live long and be healthy, so that you can achieve this result.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ◎Excerpted from 2011-04-24 "Teachings on the Three Refuges and Five Precepts of Bodhisattva Temple in 2011" 2024-02-05 18:10
