Why is the realm so real at this time when my own reasons bear the consequences?

Amitabha! Here's the thing, brother! Cause and effect are true and false. If you are mature, you will be influenced by personal influence. Let me give a simple example! For example, brother, most of us have eaten all kinds of meat before we believe in Buddhism. In order to eat fresh meat, we hope to slaughter it directly and cook it immediately! There are many occasions that cater to everyone's hearts. When you come, pheasant breeders will tie you up, or take you back and kill yourself, or politely ask them to help. In some restaurants, I will kill any fish you order and cook any crab you order! Not to mention the seafood buffet, help yourself and have a big meal!

Let me tell a true story about this crab!

Before I believed in Buddhism, I was preparing to go out to play with my daughter at noon one day. I took my daughter to that hotel when I got a call from a friend asking for dinner! This is a relatively high-end hotel, and its main project is seafood buffet hot pot! After sitting down, my friend helped us cook hot pot enthusiastically, and then went to choose a lot of seafood! They are all alive, red crabs, hairy crabs, fresh shrimps, and many more! My friend first chose a big crab for me and put it in a small pot for me, but this crab, with eight legs clinging to the hot pot, refused to go in! I obviously felt at that time that it absolutely understood that as long as it went, there would be no life. It would rather burn its own legs than go into this pot! But my friend poked it into the pot with chopsticks and broke its leg. Crabs are going to be red soon! This meal makes me extremely uncomfortable! When I walked out of the hotel, I told my daughter that I would never eat seafood buffet hotpot again! The daughter said: Me too! How cruel!

When we enjoy ourselves and are carefree, we often ignore the painful feelings of other sentient beings. Because we are used to it, our knowledge already thinks this is too normal! However, if other sentient beings want to eat us like this, it will not be enough and unhappy! However, this is how karma is made! In our habits, it comes naturally! It was made unconsciously! So, the real way is to go against the habit! All the roots of greed, ignorance and bad habits must be eradicated.

Amitabha! Since senior brother has such a good root, he can understand the terrible cause and effect and the great karma. We should be more eager to learn Buddhism and completely jump out of this cycle of life and death with karma!
