清海無上師以英文講於日本東京 1993.05.22(影帶編號#375) 











問:動物活在世上的目的就是要給人類吃的。人類如果不吃動物,動物早晚會死,而且一點用處也沒有,您不這麼認為嗎?
答:不!人類想吃動物之所以吃得到,是因為我們比動物強壯、比動物聰明,所以動物沒辦法抵抗。問題是,當人類有其他選擇可以維生的時候,還應不應該以力量和聰明才智去摧殘那些比我們弱小的眾生?此外,因為我們飼養越來越多的牛、豬、雞,牠們才變得越來越多。根據科學研究,飼養動物所花的大量金錢、時間和土地,正在逐漸削減地球的經濟和財源,甚至對健康方面也有害。


據說有許多荒地、沙漠,都是過去養殖動物的結果,因為養過牲畜的土地,多數不能再耕作(註)。而且養牲畜需要大片的土地,動物的排泄物也污染我們的湖泊和河川,還有,在種植牧草等飼料時所用的肥料,也同樣造成污染。另外,養殖動物所需的抗生素和藥品,以及清洗動物的用水和衛生措施,都要花很多錢財和人力。以長遠的眼光來看,會讓整個世界虧本,這樣對我們不好。我無權告訴你們該吃什麼,但是根據研究顯示,不論是從經濟、財務、政治、健康的觀點或任何方面來看,吃動物對我們都不好,我還沒說到吃肉在道德上的責任以及罪惡感呢!只是講科學方面而已。


我們的內心,天生都有一股對所有動物的偉大愛力,因此,如果我們吃肉,潛意識裡會有罪惡感,這種罪惡感會造成疾病和各種不舒服的感覺,以及生活上的不快樂。所以我們建議,如果你想找到真正快樂的生活、真正自由、無憂無慮的生活,就不應該吃眾生的肉。

事實上,我們可以活得更好!


清海無上師以英文開示於新加坡共修會 1994.09.28(影帶編號#446)


 


即使到現在,仍然有很多疾病奪走了人們的生命,每年大約有一千八百萬人死於不同的疾病。這都是因為我們沒能小心地保護上帝所賜的寶貴身體。上帝賜給我們這個身體,是為了要讓我們在地球上完成某種使命,也是為了要讓我們了悟自己萬能的力量。結果我們抽菸過多、飲酒過量,又吃太多肉,把肉中所有的細菌引進我們的體內等等,所有這些致命的因素,讓我們的生活過得很悲慘。


事實上,如果我們生活能更有規律,並且多愛惜自己的身體,我們就可以活得更好。我們若只吃能提供營養給身體的食物,不只是為口味而吃,並且吃得適量的話,這樣子當然就不會危害到我們的健康。你們知道大多數的人吃素以後都變得更健康,是不是這樣?(大眾答:是)你們大多數在印心和吃素後都變得更健康,是不是這樣呢?(大眾答:是)事實上醫院裡滿滿都是吃肉的人(大眾笑),這就是無庸置疑的證明了。


不只是因為素食本身有益健康,也因為蔬果的振動力對我們的身體很友好,而動物的振動力就不那麼和諧、和平了。事實上,要過簡單健康的生活很容易,我們並不需要吃這麼多的藥和打針。很多人把有毒的物質帶進體內,所以才會傷害自己;若是知道如何過一個簡單、營養、健康的生活的話,我們真的不怎麼需要醫生,然後醫生們就能有更多的假日,這樣醫生和我們都能保持健康。

Being Meat-free Makes Us 
Healthy and Carefree


 






 





Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, Tokyo, Japan, May 22, 1993 
(Originally in English) Videotape #375


Q: The purpose of an animal's life here on earth is to be eaten by human beings, and if we stopped eating them they would all be dead and useless, don't You think so?


M: No, we can eat animals if we want to because we are stronger and more intelligent than they are so they’re helpless against us. But the question is whether we should use our strength and intelligence to abuse those who are weaker than we are when we have other choices by which to survive. Besides, today we are raising more cattle, pigs and chickens so more exist now than there used to be. And according to scientific research, the great amount of money, time and land used to raise animals is weakening our planet economically, financially and even health-wise.


It is even said that many wastelands, many deserts, are the result of raising animals in the past because wherever cows are raised the land is frequently unable to be used for growing crops.* We need a big land mass to be able to feed cattle or other animals, and their waste products pollute the water in our lakes and rivers, as does the fertilizer that goes into the fields to produce grass and all the other food for animals. And the antibiotics and medicines that go into the animals’ systems, the water to wash them and all the hygienic measures cost a lot of money and manpower. So in the long run it's a loss of business for the world. It's no good for us. It's not my right to tell you what to eat, but according to research, eating animals is no good for us whatsoever, economically, financially, politically, health-wise and in every other way. I am not yet telling you about the moral obligation and guilty feelings that go along with the animal diet. I’m just telling you science-wise, the scientific aspect.


Inherently we all have a great love within us for all things that move. Therefore if we eat animal flesh, we subconsciously feel very guilty. It breeds sickness and all kinds of uncomfortable feelings and unhappiness in our lives. That's why we suggest that if you want to find a truly happy life, a truly free, carefree life, you should refrain from eating other living beings. 



 

 


We Can Actually Live a Better Life



Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai at a Group Meditation, Singapore, September 28, 1994 (Originally in English) Videotape #446



Nowadays many sicknesses, different diseases, kill people, about eighteen million a year. Because some of us don't take precautions to guard our precious body which has been given to us by God to do some mission on earth for some purpose, and also to realize our almighty power. We do something like smoking too much, drinking too much, eating too much flesh, inviting all the bacteria from the flesh into our systems, etc. And all these killing factors make our lives a miserable time.


Actually we could live a better life if we organized more, if we appreciated our body more. If we ate just nutritious food for our body, and ate not just because of the taste, and ate just a reasonable amount, then of course, our health wouldn't be so greatly endangered. You see, most vegetarian people become healthier. Is that not so? [Audience: Yes.] Many of you became healthier after receiving initiation and switching to a vegetarian diet. Is that not so? [Audience: Yes.] Actually, the hospitals are full of meat-eating people (laughter). No problem; we can see the proof there.


It's not only because the vegetarian diet is healthy in itself, but because the vibration is very harmonious to our body whereas the vibrations of animals are not that harmonious, not so peaceful. Actually, it's very easy to live a simple, healthy life. There's not so much need for medicine, no need for so many injections. Many of us harm ourselves because we put poisonous substances into our bodies. Otherwise, if we know how to live a simple, nutritious, healthy life, we really don't need doctors so much. And the doctor can have more holidays and both of us can stay healthy.
