Why is it that you still cannot see through this world and let go of it?
You still do not understand this world and cannot perceive its true reality. Once you read the second half of The Sutra of Infinite Life, you will truly understand this world and see its true nature. How liberating this will be!

The real way to liberate living beings is to be vegetarian
Even though it is good to liberate living beings, it is even better to be vegetarian. To be vegetarian is to be truly compassionate, and truly liberate lives. If you liberate living beings but continue eating meat, then how many lives can you actually liberate in your lifetime? You could not liberate as many as you eat!

I often emphasize the importance of being vegetarian, but I don’t actively encourage people to buy and liberate living beings. Why is that? If you are a vegetarian, you will have liberated millions of living beings.

If you want to obtain liberation and attain Nirvana, you must refrain from all unwholesome deeds. Otherwise, for every bad deed you do, you will be bound by its retribution. So, if you want to liberate your body and mind and be free from all constraints, you have to uphold the precepts thoroughly. Foolish people only know that it’s painful to uphold the precepts, but they don’t know that breaking the precepts is even more painful overall.
