Holding the thought of compassion is called pity for things. Compassion is the gateway to the Buddha's path. The thoughts of all Buddhas, all voice-hearers, Pratyekabuddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Buddhas Tathagata have all good roots. Compassion is the root.
Great kindness brings happiness to all living beings; great compassion relieves the suffering of all living beings...
It is pure kindness to give money and silk to the poor. It is pure kindness to pull out the mired people in the dense forest. It is pure kindness to give decoction to the terminally ill, rice to the beggars, shelter to the homeless, oars to those who have fallen into the water, and oars to those who are cold.
In terms of fur, these can probably be praised as pure goodness.
So, what about killing one person to save another?
All phenomena and all things revolve around the flow of twelve causes and conditions, instantaneous dependent origination, continuous dependent origination, divisional dependent origination, and distant continuation dependent origination, causing people to wander in the sea of reincarnation of life and death without being able to escape.
The poor who get money may become unkind after getting rich; the fallen in the jungle may be bandits who kill many people; the sick are evil people; the beggars are kidnappers; the homeless are green-skinned; the drowning people are thieves; and the cold people are
Grass theft.
Can evil karma caused by giving to pure goodness be praised as pure goodness?
So, what about killing one person to save another?
"My parents were both homeless people who fled famine. They starved to death one after another on the way to Zhongli County. I was the only one who barely survived and was picked up and raised by my master. Since I was born, I have never seen my elders.
The only one I know is the teacher, and he told me all this."
A calm voice suddenly sounded. Yuan Yi looked at the blood-covered monk lowering his head and seemed to smile:
"I……"
Buzz!!!
The true energy exploded, the sky filled with mist boiled, covering the sky!
Yuan Yi impatiently stretched out a big black hand, like a mountain falling down, swallowing up the world. He was already feeling impatient, and at this time, he didn't have the patience to stop and listen to some irrelevant nonsense.
"I've been going around and around, and I'm almost dead. Do you still think you're fighting in a monastery?"
Yuan Yi sneered in his heart, and the big hand he stretched out came down like five thunders. With the surging divine power, it hit the ground with a rapid roar, instantly defeating the thick earth and rocks, and sending up streaks of smoke and dust that hit the sky.
The earth's fire surged out, and the magma was driven deep out of the ground by this palm. However, in this devastated scene of smoke and fire, the shadow of Wu Ming had long disappeared from the place, and only his voice could be heard.
Keep coming.
He is not in one place, but he is everywhere!
"I was very afraid of the dark when I was a child. When I was going to bed after finishing evening classes, I would always pester the teacher to tell me stories. One of them is still fresh in my memory."
Bah!
The veins on Yuan Yi's forehead were beating wildly. He raised his hand and summoned a bone spear that was about ten feet long and as white as jade, and stabbed it somewhere in the void, but it only penetrated a void.
"roll!"
"come out!"
"Don't act so weird here!"
The ghostly appearance frightened Yuan Yi so much that his heart beat wildly. He opened his eyes, but saw nothing.
The big hands of true energy shot out wildly, crushing the mountains and rivers, turning the surrounding world upside down, and almost becoming chaotic. However, no matter how many attempts were made, the shadow of ignorance was not caught.
In a panic, Yuan Yi raised a purple treasure mirror, and the light from the mirror spread all over the ten directions, the two realms were empty, and within the mirror, there was only a broken river and mountain.
"The story is that before immeasurable calamities, there was a king named Sarpoda who cared for all living beings and was compassionate to all. He even practiced charity extensively and had profound virtues."
Wu Ming's voice sounded faintly, but no matter how frightened and furious Yuan Yi was, he could not catch his shadow.
"First, the gods and goddesses in the Pure Realm wanted to test the character of King Sarpoda to see whether he was truly compassionate and caring for all living beings, and whether he was truly a practitioner of the Bodhisattva path. So a god turned into a dove,
One god turned into a goshawk, and the two chased each other. The dove fled to the arm of King Sarpoda and asked for protection, but the goshawk refused to let him go and cursed loudly."
"The goshawk blamed King Sarpoda for his cruelty. It said that in order to hunt down the pigeon, it had not eaten enough and was dying of hunger. King Sarpoda protected the pigeon, which was equivalent to killing it."
"The goshawk complained angrily. It said that it had heard of King Sarpoda's reputation for mercy, but now it seems that King Sarpoda is just a false practitioner, a false savior, and a real demon who uses the Bodhisattva path to perform evil deeds.
!Soon, Goshawk made a request to King Sarpoda, which to an ordinary person is completely unreasonable."
Wu Ming's voice suddenly paused: "Has the donor heard of the following story?"
Yuan Yi was sweating profusely, and the veins on his forehead were beating like little snakes swimming ferociously.
He had tried his best, but could not find the source of ignorance. It was as if he had erased all traces of his existence from this world, and what he spoke was just an afterimage of the past.
Yuan Si and others in the distance were also horrified by the dead souls. After panicking and summoning magic weapons to protect Zhou Hou, they also hurriedly accelerated the construction of the altar.
"Of course I know the story of the feeding eagle!"
Yuan Yi suppressed the fear in his heart and spoke. The bursts of crimson cloud in his eyes made his divine eyes reach the extreme. His eyes almost condensed into substance, and he penetrated into the infinity of everything!
"What exactly do you want to say?" Yuan Yi tried his best to delay the time and managed to calm down: "Do you want to challenge the Zen family with me?"
"I just feel confused. It was the same when I was a child, and it's the same now."
Wu Ming's voice sounded again, and this time, there was a rare hint of a bitter smile in his tone. Yuan Yi turned around violently, and the glow in his eyes splashed, but he still could not find his shadow.
"Goshawks and doves both belong to all spirits, so is there any distinction between them? Humans also belong to all spirits, but they can be the arbiters of life and death. Is this based on force?
Is it a distinction between weak and weak? But if the distinction is really based on strength and weakness, wouldn’t compassion be a gift from those who are on the top to those who are on the bottom?”
"Goshawks eat snakes, snakes chase toads, toads eat insects, and insects eat rice. The poor monk is not King Sarpoda. Although he boasts of benevolence, he does not have such great supernatural powers. If I protect the snake, I will be harmed.
If the goshawk dies of starvation, can this kind of behavior be called pure kindness? Is it rare that the bad karma of the goshawk's death is not shared by me?"
"donor……"
Cold sweat trickled down Yuan Yi's forehead, and his inner shirt was soaked.
"Can killing one person and saving another be considered a good deed?"
When his eyes were almost blinded and the essence and blood in both eyes were about to be consumed, Yuan Yi finally managed to catch an afterimage in the corner of his eye the moment Wu Ming's words stopped.
He walked in the void, but he did not move the heaven and the earth.
As he stepped forward, the whole world was moving closer to him! Moving closer to him!
It was not He who moved heaven and earth.
Rather, heaven and earth are moving towards him independently!
"No!!!"
Yuan Yi's eyes were split open and he let out a furious scream.
puff--
At the same moment as he blurted out his final words, the altar in the distance suddenly shattered, and the heads of Yuan Si and others flew up at the same time, splashing with gushing blood!
There was still confusion and deep confusion on their faces. At that moment, they did not even notice that their death was coming.
"Damn it!! Damn it!!! Damn it!!!!!"
Yuan Yi laughed wildly in anger, raised his hand and slashed out countless magical powers into the surrounding void. The light surged like a tidal sea, tearing the earth apart, causing rocks to rise up and smoke to roll in angrily.
The vast swaths of sand dunes were thoroughly boiled into scalding waves of air, leaving only deep pits in place. It was like a sea of thunder suddenly crashing into the sky, erupting with an unimaginable loud noise!
Panting heavily, Yuan Yi turned his eyes far away, and what he saw was still empty, with no figures and no words.
He forcibly brought up a piece of divine light and poured it into his pupils, and a huge amount of energy filled them violently, making his eyeballs almost explode.
At this moment, Yuan Yi had only one idea.
Find ignorance.
Then.
Use cruel means to kill him!!!
His eyes illuminated the void inch by inch, and Yuan Yi couldn't bear the loss, so he shed two lines of blood and tears.
But suddenly, his body became stiff and he could not move.
A hand gently stretched out and patted his shoulder.
