【The Varieties of Karma】- Rescuing those approaching a place where they will be killed

Next, "by rescuing those approaching a place where they will be killed," this is to go a step further. When many are going to be killed, we should rescue them. And then, we would likewise be giving life to others. We also need to be "turning harm away from living beings." If we do this, then we will obtain a long life span. This is to living beings in general. Then for the living beings we encounter, in the human realm, there is "caring for the sick." We should care for the people with sickness. Therefore during the time that the Buddha appeared in this world, he particularly said, "The merit obtained from caring for the sick is cultivated from the greatest merit field." This was also said in the Brahma Net Sutra. In the Buddha's time, there was this classic story, classic story. This is why I often remind everyone especially of this. The vows also tell us this. The vows also tell us this.

业果 : 善放将杀生

下面呢，“善放将杀生”，更进一步，有很多人将要被杀，我们要去救他，然后呢利益他的命，还要“遮止害众生”，这样的话得到长寿，这个是对于一般的有情。对于我们共同的众同分当中，人道当中呢，“承事诸病人”，对病人要承事。所以佛在世的时候特别说“看病福田，第一福田”，然后呢《梵网经》上面还在讲。佛在世的时候，就有这个典型的公案，典型的公案。这是为什么我在这个地方特别常常提醒大家的，戒律上面也告诉我们，戒律上也告诉我们。
