DO NOT SUCCUMB TO LUST; COMMITTING ANIMAL-LIKE ACTS LEADS ONE TO BE REBORN AS AN ANIMAL
Caller: How are you, Master? You once said, “Greed is the ticket to the hungry ghost realm while hatred and ignorance lead one to hell and the animal realm respectively.” How are these three poisons the roots of our suffering?
Master Jun Hong Lu: It’s correct to say that greed, hatred and ignorance are the roots of our suffering; hence we shouldn’t engender them.
In the Age of Dharma Decline, I’ve been forewarning all of you about the consequences of succumbing to your lust. Those who commit animal-like acts will have their life snatched away and they will be reborn as an animal.
Take a look around us, don’t you think animals are dying earlier than before? In the past, animals had longer lifespans compared to the present time. Now, they are slaughtered and served as food shortly after birth – they are killed, reborn, only to be killed again. That’s how it goes.
