Master Xuanhua --- (grandmother) When she arrived in the underworld, King Yama sentenced her: "Since you love your grandson so much, you should go back and be his wife so that you can take care of him." So the grandmother The wife who asked a child to be a grandson. So the causes and consequences in the world are sometimes very scary.
"The daughter eats the flesh of the mother." Outside, a girl was eating pig trotters with gusto. The pig turned out to be her mother in a previous life.
"The son beats the father's skin drum". Monk Zhigong looked at the music players, playing gongs, drums, trumpets, and flutes. It was so lively! There was a man playing the drum hard. The drum was made of donkey skin, and the donkey turned out to be his father in the previous life!
During the reign of Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty, Buddhism in China was very prosperous. Whenever there is a wedding or funeral among the people, monks are invited to chant sutras. Today, times have changed. Nowadays, monks are invited to chant sutras only when there are funerals. But when there are happy events, such as marriage or childbirth, no one invites monks to recite sutras. Actually this is wrong. No matter whether it is a wedding or a white event, monks and nuns should be invited to recite sutras, dedicate themselves, and sow blessings. On the one hand, they can save the dead and on the other hand, they can increase blessings for the survivors.
During the reign of Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty, there was a monk named Zhi Gong. One time, a wealthy family was getting married, so they invited Monk Zhi Gong to chant sutras. As soon as he stepped into the door, he sighed:
It's weird, weird, the grandson marries the grandmother,
Sit on the pig and sheep kang, and the six relatives cook in the pot,
A daughter eats her mother's flesh, and a son beats his father's flesh.
Everyone comes to congratulate me. I think it's really hard!
What does this mean? Do you think it’s strange for a grandson to marry his grandmother? It turned out that when this grandmother was dying, she held her grandson's hand and felt very reluctant to part with her. She said: "You all have families and careers, but my little grandson has no one to take care of him. Alas! What should I do?" After saying this, she passed away.
When she arrived in the underworld, King Yama sentenced her: "Since you dote on your grandson so much, you should go back and be his wife so that you can take care of him." So the grandmother entrusted her son to be his grandson's wife. So the causes and consequences in the world are sometimes very scary.
Monk Zhi Gong looked at the Kang and said, "Sit on the Kang with pigs and sheep." When he looked at the vegetable pot, he said, "Cook it in the Liuqin pot." It turns out that the pigs and sheep that were slaughtered in the past are now coming back to eat people to make up for the retribution! The six relatives who used to eat pigs and sheep now come back to be cooked and pay debts in the pot.
"The daughter eats the flesh of the mother." Outside, a girl was eating pig trotters with gusto. The pig turned out to be her mother in her previous life.
"The son beats the father's skin drum". Monk Zhigong looked at the music players, playing gongs, drums, trumpets, and flutes. It was so lively! There was a man playing the drum hard. The drum was made of donkey skin, and the donkey turned out to be his father in the previous life!
So, "everyone came to congratulate me." Everyone thought it was a happy day, but Monk Zhigong only sighed: "I said it was really bitter!" In fact, people take joy in suffering!
After listening to this public case, everyone should know the horror of killing and eating meat.

If you can listen carefully to the shrill screams in the slaughterhouse in the middle of the night, you should understand the horror of the endless killing.
