It seemed that the heavens were trying to test him, and the continuous rainfall, flash floods, and the swelling of the river washed away the roads and bridges, completely blocking his begging route. However, this great practitioner was not anxious or impatient, meditating and chanting in the cave all day long, and did not relax his practice for a moment. After seven days, the rain continued to fall, the flood did not subside, and he devoted himself to his cultivation, because he could not beg for food for a long time, and he was already dying of hunger. If you don't eat as soon as possible, you'll starve to death in a cave......

In the nearby mountains and forests, there are 500 hares, with a white she-hare as the king. When the Rabbit King saw that the cultivator had not been able to go down the mountain to beg for food for seven days, he thought to himself: This person has not eaten for many days in order to practice, and his life will not be long. If he dies, there will be no one in the country who practices Buddhism. The law building will collapse, the law sea will wither, how to be good......

In order to keep the Fa-rectification alive for a long time, the Rabbit King was determined to give up his life. It said to the rabbits, "All actions are impermanent, and sentient beings cherish their bodies, and they are born and die empty, and they do not know how to get out of samsara." Today, I want to build a bridge for sentient beings, so that Dafa can live for a long time, and I will use my own body to support the Master. And let each of you rejoice. Why? Over the years, I have lost countless lives, and because of karma, I cannot get rid of the image of birds and beasts. In this life, I finally heard the supreme Dafa recited by the practitioners, so I decided to lay down my life to support the Master. ”

At this time, the tree god accumulated firewood, and the mountain fire spontaneously combusted.

The Rabbit King came to the cave, respectfully surrounded him, circled the seven turns on his right, and then said to the practitioners, "Master, I am now for the Dharma and offer to His Holiness." ”

The practitioner said, "You are a small animal, although you have a good heart, how can you do it?" ”

The Rabbit King said, "I will provide for you with myself." ”

"Why?"

"For the sake of the Fa-rectification to live for a long time, so that sentient beings can benefit."

The Rabbit King bid farewell to the cultivators, left the cave, and said goodbye to his only son, saying, "From now on, you will live alone, and you can live in water and grass at will." ”

The little rabbit has always been inseparable from his mother, and he has already understood his mother's intentions, he couldn't help but burst into tears, knelt down and said to his mother: "Mother, for the sake of the supreme Dafa, I will not hesitate to die, and I will also follow you." ”

Before he could finish speaking, the little rabbit jumped up first and threw himself into the fire. The Rabbit King then threw himself into the fire pit......

When the mother and son of the rabbit queen gave up their lives, they were so moved that they trembled, and the goddess scattered flowers.

After the rabbit meat was cooked, the tree god said to the practitioner, "Master, the mother and son of the rabbit king threw themselves into the sea of fire for the sake of making offerings. Now that the rabbit meat is cooked, you can eat it to prolong your life and uphold the Fa-rectification. ”

When the cultivator heard the news, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and he was so shocked that he was speechless for a long time. He was overwhelmed with grief, and put the book he was reciting on the leaves, and said,

It is better to burn your body and break your eyes than to kill and eat sentient beings.

The Buddhas said the Sutra of Compassion, and the Sutra said that those who practice mercy,

Rather break the bone marrow out of his mind, and can't bear to eat meat and eat sentient beings.

As the Buddha said, the flesh-eater is not satisfied.

He often suffers from short-lived illnesses, and he is not a Buddha without life and death.

The practitioner then vowed: "May I never have the thought of killing for the rest of my life, and I will never eat meat, and I will enter the samadhi of white light and compassion until I become a Buddha and make a vow to cut off meat!" After saying that, the cultivator came to the fire pit, jumped into it himself, and followed the mother and son of the rabbit king.

Then there was thunder and thunder, and the earth shook, and the trees shone brightly, and the golden light shone brightly, illuminating the world......

Buddha Shakyamuni finally said, "Do you know? At that time, the White Rabbit King was me; The little rabbit is Rahula (one of the ten disciples of the Buddha, the son of the Buddha before he became a monk). The practitioner at that time was today's Maitreya. Because he does not eat the flesh of sentient beings in his life and reiterates the Sutra of Compassion and Great Compassion, his appearance is holy and solemn, just like me. ”

After Shakyamuni Buddha finished speaking, the five hundred Sanskrit Zhi were moved to tears by this earth-shattering, weeping ghosts and gods, and extremely tragic story, and immediately asked the Buddha to become a monk, become a sand gate, listen to the Buddha's teachings, and become an arhat.
