Not killing is the first of the ten good laws and commandments, and it is also the first of the five commandments. The merits of abstaining from killing are very wide, and the result of killing is extremely terrible. It is really the first thing to learn from Buddhism. Let's talk about the benefits of not killing according to the classics.
The Mahayana Ten-Wheel Sutra says: Good people. If the bodhisattva mahasa. Live as long as you can, away from killing. Is to give fearlessly and fearlessly to all beings. So that all sentient beings do not suffer from sorrow and fear.
Try our best to stay away from killing, that is to say, in our life, as long as this body is still there, we must stay away from killing and not harm all beings. In this way, giving to all sentient beings gives them a sense of security, so that they have no fear and fear, so that they have no worries and fears.
As a result, good roots quickly mature. There is no river of life and death in all international rotations. For murder. Fitness, semantics, bad karma, worry, emotion, law, life. Teach him what he sees and hears. So as to stay away from the killing wheel. We can see that everything is crushed and destroyed, and nothing is rewarded.
Because of this factor, good roots can mature quickly. According to the exhibition of good and evil, each of us has unlimited static merits and good deeds, which is innate. Because of this fate, we can make our good roots mature. In the past, the bad karma of body, language and mind, as well as all kinds of obstacles, troubles and karma, and even the karma of instigating others to kill and killing with joy, have been eliminated, because now we can not kill and are not dominated by all kinds of karma.
Having said that, we emphasize that the last four words are not rewarded. This is the best reward for us to learn Buddhism. We all know that cause and effect is one of the most important truths in Buddhism. "Buddha says there is no karma" says: doing good will bring happiness. Suffer for evil. Then the crimes we committed in the past are really unavoidable. Are we going to hell for doing evil? Not necessarily.
It is clearly stated in the Great Nirvana Sutra: Buddha's words. Good people. If everything is determined to bear fruit. You should not seek the liberation of Sanskrit. Practice Sanskrit, and pay for it for uncertain reasons. Good people. If you can stay away from all bad karma, you will get good results. Stay away from good deeds, and you will get bad consequences. If everything is determined to bear fruit. You should not seek to practice the holy way. Without practice, there is no freedom. All saints practice Buddhism. If you set up a bad business, you must report it lightly. Uncertain karma has no consequences.
The general idea here is that if all good and evil behaviors are bound to be rewarded, then there is no need to practice and get rid of them. It is precisely because cause and effect are not constant and fixed that we need to practice and get rid of it. If you stay away from good karma, you will get bad consequences, and if you stay away from bad karma, you will get good results. If this result is certain, it is meaningless to practice Buddhism. But it is impossible to get rid of it without practice. The reason why saints practice monasticism is that they can lighten fixed occupations, and unlimited occupations have no consequences.
If you don't practice, the karma of good and evil in the future is inevitable. But if we practice according to law, then the fixed occupation will become lighter and the indefinite occupation will not be rewarded.
Specific to the killing industry. We'll know. If you don't kill, you must first stay away from killing. Giving up killing can destroy and eliminate the achievements of killing in the past.
In appearance, everyone is equal, without any speculation. Physical and mental health, longevity. At the end of his life, his body and mind will not be forced to worry about pain. Surrounded by his beloved wife and family. When I was dying, I didn't see the terrible devil messenger. Just looking at what you can mean is to adjust the good law to avoid rich virtue and real Fukuda as good knowledge. Physical and mental pleasure generates respect and trust. I am still alive. All complete branches are enough. No matter where you are born, you should live a long and disease-free life. Correct, smart, quiet and happy.
If we can give up killing, we can not only get rid of the bad karma of the past. Life now still has various benefits. You can make everyone you meet close to you without being suspected. Can be physically and mentally happy and live a long life. At the end of life, the body and mind will not be persecuted by all kinds of troubles and pains, and they will be miserable. At the end of my life, my favorite family will be by my side, and there will be no enemies, creditors and devil's messengers to intimidate and seduce. I can see peace and good knowledge worthy of the name. Physical and mental pleasure, can respect the letter. If you are still in people after reincarnation, then you have enough limbs and live a long life without illness. Correct face, quiet and happy.
Killing karma is destructive, leading to defects, damage and incompleteness. If we can stay away from the killing karma, we can naturally get the opposite result: closeness, perfection, integrity, health and longevity. Especially when you are dying, you can give up yourself calmly without pain and confusion. This is very important. Many of us want to live quietly, clearly and peacefully after death. You want to go to the pure land, and you can't be confused at the end of your life. How can you have this guarantee? You have to kill something.
Thirdly, it can mean adjusting tools to prevent the truth of Ford and Fukuda from becoming good knowledge. According to him, learn from killing. Can break all evil laws. Can achieve everything, and it is better than good law. Can find all the meanings of multiplication. All bodhisattvas' wishes can be fulfilled. Gradually and interestingly entered the deep and vast sea of wisdom. Even the supreme bodhi. The Buddhist land where he lives is separate from all weapons. Fighting hatred has no name. Never be afraid of peace and happiness. Everything is healthy and long-lived, and all beings will come to their country. If it comes from endless life. Let all beings say what they should say. After nirvana, Buddhism lives on. The benefits are endless and affectionate.
What if, from a longer-term perspective, after reincarnation, you can meet really good knowledge and rely on it to learn and stay away from killing? Can get rid of all bad karma and bad laws. Can achieve all good laws. Get all the meaning of Mahayana Buddhism and practice all the wishes of Bodhisattva. Gradually go deep into the ocean of wisdom. In the end, I got the supreme bodhi. The land of Buddha will be far away from weapons, and there is no name of struggle, hatred or killing. There will be no terror and fear, and you will be happy. All living beings live a long life without disease. Its Buddha has a long life. After becoming a Buddha, he preached the Dharma to all sentient beings, and after nirvana, the Dharma remained for a long time. The benefits are endless and affectionate.
In addition to the benefits of not killing: closeness, perfection, integrity, health and longevity. In the distant future and afterlife, you can still get more remarkable results, from learning Buddhism to bodhisattva, and finally becoming a Buddha, achieving pure land and staying in Buddhism for a long time. Are based on staying away from killing.
