Do you know that you are crueler than tigers and poisonous snakes?
You eat one fish today and one shrimp tomorrow; over time, how many lives will you have eaten in your lifetime? I hope you will not be like poisonous snakes and tigers; otherwise, you will live a short life and suffer retributions in the hells with mountains made of knives and oceans full of fire!

You should encourage yourself to improve. Don’t always just sit there and wait. Stopping is the same as regressing. You will just be falling behind and wasting time.

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.

The body is the source of all suffering.
Not having a body is the means to resolve suffering. It is impossible to have a body and be free from suffering. This is why the Buddha asks us to uphold the precept of no sexual conduct so as to stay away from the cause of birth which is lust. Without birth, there will be no aging, no sickness, and no death; we will then be free from all kinds of suffering forever.
