    The word "equality of all beings" was coined by us human beings, that is to say, this concept is just a view of our human beings, which is completely emotional, humane, and fraternal This is a beautiful wish Are all beings really equal? I don't think so, it's just the view of Buddhism Putting aside all human morality, the creatures in this world are left with the law of the jungle, and there is no equality in nature, only rationality This principle is the principle of nature, and it has nothing to do with the principle of the human world Buddhism says that all beings are equal, which is to reduce people to the level of animals, or to elevate animals to the level of people, and the reason why this is said is that this has a lot to do with Buddhism's karma and the six realms of reincarnation Buddha is just a realm, he is not a real thing. The equality of all beings is only a realm, and it is not a real thing, we should not look at this statement with a general attitude towards the theorems of physics, or we are still alive, all beings are equal, people are alive, animals are alive, plants are also alive, and it can even be said that all things are alive, so what do we wear, what do we eat, what do we live, do we still have to live?

    The equality of all beings is just a state of thought, in the current world, not to mention other creatures, even people and people are not equal, specific facts can be seen everywhere in life Maybe the Buddha has the wisdom of the Buddha, the Buddha can read all things, but buddies we are all just mortals, the question of the belief of dogs and ants should be asked to the Buddha, maybe he knows the old man, but the Buddha is **, some people will say that the Buddha is everywhere, the Buddha is in the heart In fact, the meaning of this is to say, you think they have them, you think they don't, they don't

    Even if all beings are equal, how can there be karma!

    I am evil in this life, what about being a pig and a dog in the next life? The Buddha said that all beings are equal! Being a pig is as equal as being a human, which is equivalent to saying that there is no karma. Disastrous!!! No wonder there are more and more evildoers in this world.

    The equality of all beings is equality in sexuality, not equality in appearance, and the karma of all beings is different.

    Is there any relationship between faith and the equality of all beings, and are you confusing the concept of equality of all beings?

    Faith must have a social foundation and intellectual conditions, how can ordinary animals have it?

    Dude, I'm afraid you have to make up for your cultural knowledge and biological knowledge.

    R123Q12W1E says it very well, to add, ruthless beings, sentient beings are not distinguished by Buddhism, but clarified. For example, cows and fish, it is not that Buddhism divides them into cows and fish, but that they themselves are cows and fish. Ruthless beings have no ego and no thoughts, and naturally they will not suffer, this is a natural phenomenon that Shakyamuni saw after becoming a Buddha, and it is not speculative.

    As for killing people and killing microorganisms, in fact, the act of killing has no cause and effect, it is just a simple action or behavior. For example, to kill a cow is to stab it with a knife in your hand. I stabbed the mud with a knife, but in the same way, I either created negative karma (provided that it did not harm life) to kill microorganisms, or I used electricity to heat the water.

    If I electrify a person, the same act of electrifying creates negative karma. Therefore, it is not the crime of killing, but the guilt of a person's psychology when killing a life, which is determined by psychology. When people kill people, their anger is very heavy, so their negative karma is great.

    When killing microorganisms, many people may not have the slightest resentment, so the negative karma is light.

    Everything is made by the mind.

    When will all beings be equal Will people make offerings to the Buddha and Bodhisattva Will microorganisms be no matter how bad a person is, there is still the possibility of becoming pious Of course, the Buddha is trying to preserve the possibility of the future.

    The so-called heart is good, good is not good; Evil is not done without intention, and evil is not evil. To put it bluntly, sin and innocence are all in the human heart.

    Ruthless beings and sentient beings are equal. Being merciless is the difference between ninja and self-generated.

    The sentient are guilty, and the ruthless are not guilty. The ruthless are either enlightened saints or stubborn and unwilling. Killing microorganisms is also killing. For the Buddha, the difference between large and small sins is that small sins are easy to make up for, and major sins require deep repentance. That's it.

    The equality of all beings is the equality of nature.

    All sentient beings have the wisdom and virtue of the Buddha and can become Buddhas. It is only because of delusional attachment that you cannot attain it ...

    All living beings have Buddha nature, but they are not necessarily Buddhas...

    Physically, he is a Buddha. In terms of all beings, there are many different beings.

    Sin begins with the heart and confesses from the heart. Killing people and killing microorganisms are not the same. The karma of sin-making is different...

    Buddhism teaches that sentient beings have Buddha nature, and that all beings are equal. The four types of sentient beings with fetal egg wetting are all within the scope of the Buddha's degree. Ruthless beings are not within the scope of Buddhahood.

    As for the issue of killing, killing is a violation of the laws of the world, and it is also a violation of the precepts of the Buddha, and the sin is very great, which is very understandable. As for microbial beings, Buddhists like the Dharma have to filter their water with a cloth, and in addition to the sin of killing people, it is also sinful to kill other animals. For example, killing a cherished animal is also a crime.

    Other small animals also have Buddha nature. But these little things, such as sheep, do not violate the laws of the world. But there are also Buddhist violations of the precepts.

    There is no difference in the size of sin, but the retribution is different in the present.

    All beings are equal, which means seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting and perceiving, and these six natures are equal, and plants do not have these six natures, and plants only have Dharma nature, but not Buddha nature. So it doesn't count killing.

    As for what is considered compassion, it depends on the situation at the time, which requires the guidance of wisdom. For example, if a father beats his son so that his son learns well, then the father's behavior is also called compassion, which depends on the mentality.

    Regarding killing, there are several conditions to be met, the first is to have a murderous intent, the second is to cut off the other's life, the third is not to regret, and the fourth is to see merit, if you have these points, it can be regarded as a complete violation of the precept of killing.

    Buddhism focuses on the original mind. If you kill someone with the intention and do not kill it, the bad karma you do is no less than killing someone without intention.

    If you want to devote yourself to the Buddha, you must first be a good person. Cultivation is actually the cultivation of the mind.

    All sentient beings have Buddha nature, all have the wisdom and virtue of the Buddha, and all can become Buddhas, but they cannot attain it because of delusional attachment.

    The equality of all beings is the equality of Buddha-nature. We all have an immortal, pure and untainted Buddha nature. But our minds are poisoned by karma and we lose our Buddha nature ...

    Physically, all beings are equal. In terms of saying that all beings are very different and unequal.

    See clearly, don't take it out of context! Equality speaks of the equality of Buddha nature! And sentient beings have lost their Buddha nature, are bound by karmic ignorance, and are not Buddhas yet...

    Physically, they are equal, but in terms of it, ordinary people are ordinary people, Buddhas are Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas are Bodhisattvas. The realm is not the same, and it is not equal.

    Why do we pray to the Buddha? Because the Buddha is our true heart, the true heart opens up our own nature and returns to the original. In fact, what we worship is the Buddha of self-nature, and what we seek is the Buddha of self-nature, so that our inner spirituality becomes a god and Buddha...

    Desirelessness is less greed for the things that are created by the world's mental poison karma, because this is the cause of samsara. And we have great desires, to seek liberation, to become Buddhas, to become Buddhas, to become Buddhas...

    We have to cling to the Buddha to break our inner attachment to ignorant karma. In the sea of suffering, we must persist in the boat, and the sea of suffering will not be finished by abandoning the boat?

    What is a human being? What is a Buddha? What are sentient beings? There are saints and mortals. A Buddha is the supreme enlightenment, the most complete and unblemished. There are sentient beings and sentient beings. Being affectionate refers to sentient beings with emotional awareness, and ruthlessness refers to plants and trees.

    Let me elaborate on a more popular version, you should be able to understand it.

    Since you can bring up these things, it means that you have your understanding, and whatever your understanding is, it will be according to your understanding for the time being. All beings are equal, including the Buddha, and when it comes to respecting the Buddha, you have to respect not only the Buddha, but also other people, and you can only get the respect of others.

    You can understand Buddhist scriptures as the feelings left by Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and monks in the process of pursuing the ideal state or after reaching the ideal state, just like the feelings after reading and writing when we were in school, the purpose of which is to consolidate our knowledge and share it with others. So that the descendants in the pursuit of the ideal realm in the process of less detours, each Buddha, Bodhisattva, monk has a different experience, the same path to the end of the Tao, the predecessors hope to use their own experience to let you find your own way.

    The Buddha said that all beings are equal! It means that everyone has an equal opportunity with the Buddha to become a Buddha through the correct practice method!!

    What is a classic!! It is a record of the process of the practitioners' cultivation and enlightenment at that time for the reference of future generations!!

    Cultivate the Buddha to obtain the Dharma, and cultivate the Dharma to become a Buddha. Law! is the only way.

    A Buddha cannot fail to attain enlightenment, and a Buddha cannot attain enlightenment without the Dharma. ..

    Buddha is a realm; fruit position; Enlightenment positioning space; Not in the world!! It is the ultimate goal of a practitioner. .

    So! He only has a mental remnant. ..

    Cultivation is: Enlightenment and diligent cultivation of cause and effect have no afterlife. The human body is only a need to cope with the world of cause and effect!!

    Human beings are human beings.

    A Buddha is the highest enlightened being.

    Sentient beings are the so-called delusions, the so-called unenlightened and those who have not yet attained the enlightenment of a Buddha.

    There are nine realms of sentient beings: heaven, man, asura, hell, beast, hungry ghost, shravaka, karma, and bodhisattva.

    The equality of all beings includes the Buddha, and the correct way to say it is that all beings are equal to the Buddha.

    Why are all beings equal to Buddhas? Because all sentient beings and Buddhas are equal and have a true heart, that is, as the Buddha friend above said, "All sentient beings have Buddha nature", and all sentient beings and Buddhas are equal in Buddha nature.
