All males are my fathers, [and] all females are my mothers, [from whom], I, life [after] life, [are] without [those] not from them receiving birth. Thus, [the] six paths’ sentient beings [are] all my fathers [and] mothers. Those then killing, then eating [them, are] then killing my fathers [and] mothers, also killing my past bodies. [As] all earth [and] waters, are my former bodies, all fires [and] winds, are my original essence, thus constantly practise releasing [of] lives.

If [there are] those not [doing] thus, [they] commit [a] light defiled transgression.
Note [144] Never Kill And Eat Sentient Beings: As all sentient beings were our parents in many past lives, there must not be killing and eating of them.
Note [145] Release Captive Sentient Beings: There should instead be compassionate releasing of beings about to be killed, and teaching of others to do so. When seeing others killing them, they should be skilfully saved, protected and liberated from suffering, teaching them these Precepts.
