杀人偿命,欠债还钱

Those who Kill will Repay with Life;
Those who Owe Money will Repay with Money.


宣化上人 开示
A Talk Given by the Venerable Master Hsuan Hua

现在人为什么生一些奇怪的病症?就是从杀生来的。
Why do people get strange diseases nowadays? These diseases come from the act of killing. 

世界上最大的仇怨,莫过于杀生。所谓“杀人偿命,欠债还钱。”你杀人之父兄,人必杀你的父兄。这样互相残杀,永无止境。就因为杀生太多的缘故,所以果报来得很快,所谓“现世现报。”

 

The deepest animosity in the world is created by killing. It is said, “Those who kill will repay with life, those who owe money will repay with money.” If you kill other people's father or brother, your father or brother will in turn be killed by others. In this way, people cruelly kill each other without end. It is because of too much killing that one's retribution ripens in a short period of time, and thus the saying, “One receives his retribution in the present life.” 

 

例如堕胎,这比土匪都厉害。你想一想,这个生命还没长成,你就把他杀了!这一些个小鬼在那儿怨天尤人,那股怨气、那股仇恨的心比什么都大,比原子弹、氢气弹都毒,他一定要报仇雪恨,所以现在这个世界上不是老鬼多,而是小鬼多,这一些没长成人的小鬼,到处皆是。有人到有病的时候,才知道为什么有病呢?就因为冤仇太多了。好像生癌病的人,多数都是因为杀生太多了,所以这个仇恨不能解开,就生癌病了……

 

Let's take abortion for instance, which is fiercer than highway robbery. Think about it, by having an abortion, you are terminating a life before his or her body can completely take shape! With deepest enmity and greatest resentment, these little ghosts of aborted fetuses “complain about the heavens and blame other people.” Their hatred is more powerful and poisonous than atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs; they are determined to seek revenge. Given the prevalence of abortion nowadays, these little ghosts of unborn babies are everywhere, outnumbering the old ghosts in the world. Some people don’t know why they are sick. Actually, they are sick because they have caused too much animosities and resentments. For example, in most cases, people have cancer because they have taken many lives. Being unable to appease the animosities from living beings they have killed, these individuals end up with cancer....
