【 Cultivating Ethical Behaviour 业果】Think not of killing, even in the depths of your mind. 意中永莫思杀生

【Cultivating Ethical Behaviour】- Think not of killing, even in the depths of your mind.

【is stated in theChapter of the Truth Speaker: O King, do not kill. Life is very dear to all beings. Hence, they want to maintain their lives for a long time. So think not of killing, even in the depths of your mind.】

In the scriptures, the Buddha tells us, "King, you do not want to kill! For all living beings there isn't one who does not hold life dear. If you cherish yourself, you should also not kill. In the following sentence, he does not emphasize the killing itself. [Instead] he tells us what? "So think not of killing, even in the depths of your mind." You should never think of it in your mind. If you do not have it in your mind, naturally, you will not do that in your body and speech. Therefore you will have to restrain yourself beginning from the most subtle place. Then naturally, nowhere else will it arise.

业果 : 意中永莫思杀生

【如《谛者品》云：“大王汝莫为杀生，一切众生极爱命，由是欲护长寿命，意中永莫思杀生。”】

这个经上面，佛就告诉我们说：大王，你不要杀生啊！为什么？一切众生无不爱命的，因此你如果也爱护你自己的话，你也不要杀。他下面他不强调那个杀，他就告诉我们什么？“意中永莫思杀生”，你意念当中永远不要这样想，你意念当中没有的话，自然你的身、口就没有。所以从最细微的地方你防起的话，自然而然其他的地方都没有了。
