海濤法師慈悲語錄中英對照_001


「殺業太重」會斷菩提根,易與佛法解脫之道絕緣;
相反的,由吃葷改為吃素的人,會發覺心情的改善,由低沉改為喜氣洋洋。
原因很簡單,動物的冤魂不再來討債。
——海濤法師

Having too much karma of killing will destroy the roots for Bodhi and cause divergence from the Buddhist path of liberation. 
Conversely, as one switches from eating meat to being vegetarian, one discovers an improvement in mood from depression to joyfulness. 
The reason is simple; animal spirits are no longer seeking for debts to be repaid.
--Venerable Master Hai Tao

(英譯/舊金山Phoebe)
