The related story of Zen master Pu 'an.

The story of the butcher transformed by Pu 'an's father.

Once upon a time, there was a father of Pu 'an, a famous monk, who had great magical powers and was deeply hidden and admired by contemporary people. Pu 'an mantra was left by the founder of Pu 'an, a famous figure in Buddhist history, and now it is widely circulated in religious circles.

At that time, there was a devout female believer who often went to listen to him. At that time, the founder of Pu 'an repeatedly showed his magical powers, which is well known to all. He calls for wind and rain at will, and dragons and ghosts call around. This woman believer's husband is a butcher, so she should also learn Buddhism from Puanzu, promise her to become a vegetarian, and ask her to introduce her. His wife introduced him to Puan's father.

Pu 'an's father said, "You are a butcher, and you kill too much. Can you listen to me completely? If not, go back. " The butcher said devoutly: He must change his profession and practice Buddhism.

Father Pu An said, "Ok, turn around."

Looking back, he saw many animals he had killed, such as cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks, with wide eyes and fierce eyes. He was so scared that he quickly kowtowed to his ancestors and begged him to accept him as an apprentice. The father taught him precepts and accepted him as a disciple. When he turned around, these ghosts disappeared.

This butcher who turned to Buddhism, I say he is not an ordinary person. He has been close to Buddhism many times in the past, so he can repent in this life, jump out of the secular network and embark on the road of practicing Buddhism. But did he get rid of the "debt of life and death" that he killed? I said that he has not changed, and this will gradually disappear in his later repentance practice. If you don't retreat, you can disappear. The karma for killing can not be eliminated in a lifetime, and Buddhism is also temporarily postponed. That's what the so-called "if there is a thousand robberies" means.

The ancestors of Pu 'an forbade killing.

It's a pity that people don't live up to expectations, but they burn incense when they commit crimes.

There are shrines and temples everywhere, and there are workplaces everywhere.

Every goose cooked a duck, and every pig and sheep were slaughtered.

Skillful bleeding with a knife, clumsy cooking soup.

Stand up, put your hands on him, push his hair and search his stomach.

Cook it until it is half cooked, and everyone will cut it.

Like a hag Luo Cha, like a butch and a jackal.

Sacrifice evil spirits and wild ghosts, will God come to taste them?

Ghosts are never full, but they are violated in heaven.

Nobody killed the cat to eat, so they cleaned it up and hid it.

Pigs and sheep were slaughtered on a large scale, just in droves.

Livestock are slaughtered from time to time, and murderers have to bear it.

So three droughts, rain and drought, people will not think about it.

If you want to repay heaven and earth, you must fast and be virtuous.

Benevolent:

Kill him, you can kill him, and once you think about it, you can avoid disaster.

Ye Yue:

Animals are man-made, and people and animals are reincarnation from ancient times to the present.

Don't wear fur and horns. I advise you not to be a beast.
