- Hunting and Fishing are many people’s hobbies
- They can stay hours in the hot burning sun burning
themselves
- Or hours in the deep jungle frightening the animals
- I have yet to see a pleasant and compassionate looking
person
- With such a hobby
- Either they looked burnt out from the burning sun
- Or rough and untidy just out from the jungle
- What they do not realize is pitifulness and compassion
- Of other suffering living beings that are unfortunate
- If one can imagine and express the pain and fear of
- His lips being hooked and pulled by someone
- Or being chased by someone holding a gun
- Then may be he will change his hobby
- To water skiing or jungle trekking
- To enjoy and admire the water where the fishes live or
- The jungle where the animals called home
- JiGong said: "The poor and the
handicapped people of Cambodia, Phnom-Penh
- Are the rebirths of hunters."
- May the light of understanding put a stop
- To take other’s lives as a game
- And blood is blood, be it human, animals or fishes
- Either hooked to the lips
- Or a bullet through the heart
- There have been just too many unfortunate accidents
- In the deep sea and jungle
- Do not become a victim of your victims
- Let them live peacefully
- They do not disturb us
- Buddha said,
- "If a person was to live and does not
- Disturb the peace of another life
- He will be very happy
- The world will be very peaceful."
- JiGong said,
- "You must spare some time to do
- What is beneficial to your mind and
body
- It is to cultivate one’s own virtuous
nature."
- Hunting and Fishing is definitely out
- It is actually harming one’s own virtuous nature
- Ten years ago a man confessed to me
- About his past where he loved hunting
- He was very rich and he showed me his past bank statements
- To show proof of his multi-million dollar business
- He is very broke now and regretted his past, he said.
