    Your question is right for my taste.

    The equality of all beings is said in nature, which means that all living beings have the wisdom and virtue of the future. But in real life it must be unequal. And equality in real life is also unrealistic - for example, can men and women be equal?

    Isn't equality a need to divide between male and female toilets? Can parents and children be equal? We must follow the orderly and ethical distribution of the young and the old, otherwise there are no rules and no rules, and we can't call home.

    A person can do great things, do you say that a sheep can do great things? Man can be a thinker, an artist, a writer, a politician, a philosopher, a medical scientist......Is it okay for animals? Secularly speaking, inequality is normal.

    Plants (inexorable beings) do not have a nervous system that feels pain, nor do they have feelings, they do not have complex thoughts. In Buddhist scriptures, plants are the dwellings and dormitories of certain ghosts and gods, so they should not be cut down indiscriminately because they do not perceive suffering, and at the same time, they should also take good care of plants because they need to protect the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the soil and air, and also cultivate their own compassionate hearts.

    Animals are those who have desires, attachments, ego, consciousness, feelings, and can feel pain intensely, and most importantly, animals (sentient beings) are the main body of the six realms of samsara. If they hurt each other, they will only cause retribution, and there is no time for them to end. Plants are not the main body of the six realms of reincarnation, so eating plants does not mean cruelty.

    Speaking of microorganisms, in my opinion, microorganisms are not the main body of the six realms of reincarnation, and our lives are bound to "use and harm" a lot of microorganisms, which does not mean that we are guilty.

    Speaking of mosquitoes and ants, these are still sentient beings and cannot be killed. The meaning of the sutra is that because harming an animal is harming the future Buddha, not killing is one of the ten virtues. And plants are not Buddhas.

    Then we have to talk about the problem of "awareness", fruits and vegetables do not have this kind of consciousness of animals, so eating plants will not have killing karma, because plants will not be cruel to you, and if you cook it, it will not be painful, and it will not run. To put it nicely, if you don't eat it, who does it depend on to reproduce, and some fruits and animals don't eat it, and the seeds can't be sown. In fact, it is a symbiotic relationship.

    As for hunting animals, if you don't believe in Buddhism, you can eat it, whether it's the jungle or the strong, or the cycle of biological chains, these are all taught in biology books, whatever it says, but no animal is willing to be eaten, I think from the humanistic care, at least a little sympathy for animals, after all, we are not cold-blooded animals, but advanced life. Otherwise, what is the difference between it and a brute?

    It's not that Buddhism doesn't understand this, it's just out of compassion and compassion. You kill you, eat yours, and no monk comes out to stop you, unless he is sick.

    However, it is said that the law of the jungle is the principle of heaven, and human beings are an exception, and Buddhism has no soil to arise and even develop to this day. Today's human beings, as the spirit of all things and the role model of the biological world, must protect animals, at least they cannot kill and eat meat without restrictions, and human beings cannot exist alone.

    As for what you said, these are just the cycles of matter, the strong will also become extinct, and the weak will become stronger, these are the equality of all beings, and all life is equal in the face of existence and death.

    du。The contradictions of Buddhism are clearly laid out there, and no one has perfected them for thousands of years, which fully proves the absurdity of Buddhist theory.

    It's just that many people who believe in Buddhism have been fooled, and they don't dare to think about its contradictions, and they don't dare to question it, because they are afraid of retribution.

    Actually, there is no need to be afraid, because if the Buddha is truly compassionate, then he will certainly not question it more reasonably than others. If the Buddha is false compassion, then it is even more right for us to question it.

    My point is that Buddhism is just a persuasive idea of goodness, with some simple philosophies. To talk about reincarnation and ghosts is.

    You have to know that Buddhism is originally only.

    Copy is a piece of wisdom that teaches you how to understand the essence of life and survival.

    Religion itself has to be modified by people, the current DAO Buddhism is not what it was born in the first place, many people will impose their fantasies on Buddhism, and over time it has become a consensus, the so-called Elysium is to say that a person has reached the state of enlightenment, and all external interactions have become blessings, a person has always lived in joy, others do not understand this meaning, so they add their own fantasies and say that they will enter this world after death, which is naturally not the original intention of Buddhism.

    Buddhism is actually only about wisdom, those precepts and the like are just shackles imposed on people, religions are like this, you have studied psychology and you understand that religion is just another spiritual force that competes with social forms, a kind of wisdom becomes a religion that will inevitably lose its most precious core and be linked to all kinds of useless and rigid canons and precepts, and finally become another machine that controls people's thoughts, just like the collective consciousness of society, and this is what you see and feel Buddhism.

    Don't care about the precepts and sayings, and think carefully about the wisdom of Buddhism on how to understand life and the meaning of existence.

    PS: I'm not a Buddhist and I didn't study Buddhism.

    Buddhist theories do not exist in contradictions.

    If there is a source contradiction, why are so many people still believing after thousands of years?

    Are these people of faith fools?

    Could it be that Einstein, Lu Xun and other scientists and writers are fools?

    Buddhism says that going to Elysium is for better practice. Because our cultivation in this world is too difficult, and there are many karmic obstacles in birth, old age, sickness, and death.

    Elysium is transformed by the great compassion of Amitabha Buddha, and there is no such birth, old age, sickness and death. So it's easier to practice.

    The Buddha is talking about the six realms of reincarnation, and since it is the six realms, of course, it includes the animal realm, and the number of animals is much more than that of people, and a drop of water contains countless bacteria, all of which are life.

    Shakyamuni Buddha was born from his mother's armpit, you should know that you have a full stomach. Do you have questions about such a simple question?

    Buddhism allows people to practice the good Dharma and put an end to the evil consequences, but in fact, the reproduction of human beings that you are talking about is the manifestation of karma.

    If people don't have the manifestation of karma and everyone becomes a Buddha, why do we need human beings to reproduce?

    What is the purpose of human development?

    The world is opposite.

    There are love and hate, beauty and ugliness, rich and poor, good and bad, good and evil, men and women, pure dirt, big and small, wise and foolish, strong and weak. And the Western DAO Elysium is beautiful - there is purity, equality, there is no greed, there is no selfishness, because its perception is completely consistent, there is no difference, there is no strife. Such a place is the ideal end, not the fulfillment of desires.

    The world is a contradictory world where yin and yang converge. Shakyamuni Buddha revealed the truth to the world and freed people from a world of endless strife and suffering.

    All beings are confused and upside down, and Buddhism makes people enlightened, fascinated, enlightened, and Buddha-fated.

    You should read the Dharma first, and don't listen to the monks. The Pure Land Sect has the truth of the Pure Land Sect, but there are thousands of ways to Dharma, and it is normal for you to feel that the Pure Land Sect is not suitable for you, because the feudal superstition you listen to is not the real Dharma.

    If you want to do it, can you do it, how easy it is for sentient beings to let go of their troubles, and if you can let go, otherwise it's all bragging.

    The Dharma itself is not contradictory, but we have not yet grasped the essence of it

    There is no contradiction in the Dharma itself, but if we are not good at studying, our own troubles will give rise to contradictions. The Dharma is only the inner method, the means, of learning. Let me be enlightened and wise.

    We have to chant Buddha for the sake of Bliss. It's because our own motivation for chanting Buddha is wrong. We look for problems in the Dharma text.

    But I don't want to find problems in myself. It's because we're so delusional. Wonderful!

    1. Letting go is not the same as giving up.

    The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have not given up on sentient beings, and have always made great vows since the beginningless: sentient beings have boundless vows.

    In the process of educating their children, parents must let go to a certain extent, let them exercise themselves in practice and grow up as soon as possible.

    2. What do we need to let go.

    Appearance and essence are two different things. Going to school every day doesn't necessarily mean studying hard. Going to work every day doesn't have to be hard. Russell did not go to school for a day, but he became the greatest philosopher of modern times. Newton didn't discover the law of gravitation under the apple tree at his workplace.

    Sentient beings are burdened with ego and dharma, and are bound by the teachings that I know and know. If you don't let go of this, no matter how good the advice of others is, you won't be able to accept it.

    It is often mentioned in Buddhist scriptures that a person who has crossed a river still needs to carry a boat on his back?

    As the world often says: many times forgetting is the best medicine for pain in the heart.

    There are many more, and those who wish to be benevolent will miss them.

    Therefore, only ordinary people without wisdom can grasp the false and unreal things and suffer from them, and among all attachments, the attachment to "me" (ego) and the attachment to "Fa" (Fazhi) are the most fundamental.

    And the wise sages (Buddhas) have no "me" in their hearts, and their minds are for all sentient beings; There is no "law" in my heart, and there is nothing that I can't let go. According to the Diamond Sutra, if a bodhisattva has the appearance of self, others, and sentient beings, he is not a bodhisattva. Therefore, those who truly attain the supreme Buddha path are the great wise and compassionate ones who "practice all the good dharma with no self and no one, no sentient beings, and no longevity".

    It is impossible to discern the truth without knowing anything. It is recommended that after going deep into the scriptures and understanding the teachings of Buddhism, we will talk about Buddhism.

    You look at this first, and then you talk about the next step.

    The Buddha has no obsession, you don't know anything about Buddhism, the Buddha said that the law does not depend on people, don't you know, he just passed on the information. The Buddha of the Buddha who purifies all sentient beings refers to the Dharma. The Buddha left after passing on the Dharma in this way, and then the Bodhisattva came, and the Bodhisattva and Arhat were attached, such as the Jizo Bodhisattva, who could have become a Buddha, but he made a vow that hell would not be empty, and he would not be a Buddha, so even if he had already had enough Buddha merits, he could not become a Buddha.

    In fact, it is possible to give up this vow and become a Buddha directly, but it may also be because of this attachment that he has always fulfilled his vow.

    All dharmas are empty, that is, all things cannot exist forever, and they are empty! The law of cause and effect is one of the laws of the universe, one of which is simple and easy to understand, and cause and effect can pass through three lives, past lives, present lives, and future lives! Many diseases are causal diseases, such as killing has a variety of diseases, heart, cerebrovascular, blood pressure, liver and gallbladder, nervous system, eyes, all!

    Stealing can trigger respiratory diseases, and more!

    When is the time for retribution, this sentence is not what the Buddha said, it is not the content of the Dharma, then there is no need to say more, it is not dirty and impure - this sentence is about the emptiness of the Dharma, dream, this is also about the fact that everything cannot exist forever!!

    Do you say that the air is empty or not? Saying that emptiness is not empty, not empty, and invisible, what is invisible is not the same as nothing, all dharmas are empty because there is, cause and effect only occur in the space of being, there is no space without cause and effect, good and evil only occur in the space of being, there is no distinction between good and evil in the space of nothing, all the active dharma is the space of being, the behavior is like a dream bubble, the space of nothingness is like everything in the dark, the same is the same with the eyes closed, the light is turned on or the sun shines on the sky, there is nothing in the sky or after the lights are turned off, there is no darkness, no matter the darkness and the sun shines, the matter does not disappear and always exists there, so sometimes the substance is not limited by the existence and non-existence it always exists there, the invisible is not equal to nothing, the seen is not equal to the real eternal existence such as a mirage, there is water, fire, wind, dust, empty in the space, but invisible, the dew appears to be expressed, the fire magnifying glass gathers the fire, hangs a flag can be out of the wind direction, in the dark room leaks a hole through the light you can see the dust floating, the cold weather out of the air when the day is hot, ordinary people feel pain, the fool does not feel that he does not know the pain, What you can't let go of is pain, fear is pain, if you let go, there is no pain, it's a play, a difference between having and not, you can't sleep well if you have money, and you can fall asleep on the street if you don't have money.

    It is not contradictory, Wanfa is to say that the material changes constantly, for example, the apple tree bears fruit, and the fruit falls and rots, turning into fertilizer and integrating into the earth. It is changing, not eternal. Causality is to say that because so, this (because so) is not matter at all, and conceptual logic, how can this be empty?

    To study Buddhism, there are three words to study.

    Faith and willingness, precepts, wisdom, greed, hatred, and ignorance.

    All the Dharma starts with the precepts, the precepts, the certainty, the wisdom, and the enlightenment, so all the Dharma is empty, that is, you can achieve the wisdom and enlightenment of the four meditations, such as the four meditations and the eight determinations, then everything is the same as if it were not said to you, so it is called the emptiness of all the Dharmas.

    Cause and effect are not empty, it is something that is done. Good causes give rise to good results, this thing is not the Dharma, so there is no empty good cause and good effect, this truth is known, when is the convenient method, I advise everyone to let go, this is not wrong, it's like putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha on the spot, not really becoming a Buddha, but having the determination to let go, is the beginning of the path.

    The latter is a phenomenon, just like watching a movie, and you know that it's all fake, and you won't be disturbed by the plot, and the plot is all fantasy.
