On 29 May 2021, Guan Yin Citta, Singapore, held an online English sharing session that focused on *the First of the Five Buddhist Precepts: Abstain from Killing* – in continuation of the previous session.
This session delved into ways to eliminate our karma of Killing and abstain from the act of Killing. Both are important to our Buddhism practice as a large build-up in negative karmic affinities with animals could put our spiritual life at risk.
To eliminate our past karma of Killing, the Three Golden Buddhist Practices have been recommended.
*To abstain from the act of Killing, the participants have been reminded to overcome the Three Poisons*, by:
1. *Understanding the fact that animals feed on filthy food* and when we consume their meat, we are likely to develop illnesses.
2. *Cultivate Compassion* – compassion is the key that unlocks all ‘doors’ and the foundation of our Buddhism practice.
3. *Avoid developing negative karmic affinities* with animals.
The participants were encouraged to *practise vegetarianism, which is the foundation for compassion.* Not only does it engender good health, wisdom and compassion, one *can receive blessings and gain resonance with Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.*
Master Lu once said, “You must persistently maintain a vegetarian diet so that your merits and virtues will continue to grow. *With these merits, a lot of minor troubles can be resolved and a lot of minor calamities can be eliminated.”*
In the upcoming session – scheduled on 5 June – we will explore *Karma of Speech*. Join us to find out how to practise right speech anywhere, anytime, and with anyone.

⏰ *Date and time:* Saturday 5 June 2021 (2.00pm - 4.00pm)
