- Master Jigong said,
- "Some people sacrifice a lot for
worldly affairs
- They sacrifice their merit and
virtue
- Because their occupation have done
harm
- To the six domestic animals
- They are horse, ox, sheep,
chicken, dog and pig
- So they must exchange their guilt
with merit and virtue
- Peoples’ karma or fate
- All have their causes and
consequences
- If you have sown a bad cause
- You must build up and create more
merit and virtue than others
- Otherwise, the home of your heart
and soul
- Would be unable to stay calm and
peaceful
- Then, you are unable to cultivate
your mind and spirit
- Slowly, your mind and spirit will
be stained
- With dirty spots (impurities)
- Then the path of your TAO
cultivation
- Will become even more rough and
bumpy"
- On the right livelihood taught by Sakyamuni Buddha
- It is advisable to avoid rearing animals
- For food as a business
- Recently an ordinary TAO devotee intended to do
aquaculture business
- Master JiGong advised him not to proceed
- And also another devotee planned to go into selling
ostrich’s tonic
- By being the sole agent for an ostrich farm
- To market their tonic which claimed to be good for the
body
- I advised him not to do so
- Of late I heard a prominent businessman
- Selling beef had a skin disease called psoriasis
- Non-Vegetarians do not think like Vegetarians in terms
of food
- So rearing animals for food is an honest livelihood to
them
- Or they do not classify as harmful to their spirit
- Or they are not interested in the cultivation of the
mind and spirit
- Until it is too late to rectify
- Just like the awful sight of skin disease or terminal
illness
- The six domestic animals are just pitiful
- Because always there will be people
- Who like to eat them or rear them as companions or
interest
- Sad are those
- Which have to walk on four legs.
- Called animals.
