BE COMPASSIONATE, DO NOT CREATE THE KARMA OF KILLING
Master Jun Hong Lu: In essence, when we release captive lives, we are putting out our karmic seeds of killing. We should all remember, the law of cause and effect is unceasing. Our tendency to kill animals in this life stems from the karma of killing that we brought from our past lives. This explains your liking to kill animals in this lifetime.
Having said that, if we understand the importance of adopting a vegetarian diet and performing life liberation, we will then be able to put the cause of our killing karma to a halt. When we stop creating karma related to killing, our career will be propelled to greater heights.
