天下如何无兵劫？
How Can [The] Heavens’ Below [Be] Without Wars’ Disasters?
以我之强，陵彼之弱。以彼之肉，充我之腹。只顾一时适口，谁信历劫酬偿？
With [that] power of mine, [having] bullying of those weak. With [the] meat of those, filling [that] stomach of mine. Only considering [for] one time, [that] ‘suitable’ [for my] taste, who believes [this will] pass kalpas [to be] repaid?
《楞严经》云：「以人食羊，羊死为人，人死为羊」，如是乃至十生之类，「死死生生，互来相啖，恶业俱生，穷未来际。」
[The] Śūraṅgama Sūtra says, ‘With humans eating goats, [with the] goats dying as humans [reborn, and with the] humans dying as goats [reborn]’, thus, and even [so for beings with the] ten kinds of births [i.e. those with egg birth (卵生), womb birth (胎生), moisture birth (湿生), transformation birth (化生), having form birth (有色生), having perception birth (有想生), not having form birth (非有色生), not without form birth (非无色生), not having perception birth (非有想生), and not without perception birth (非无想生)], ‘Death [after] death [and] birth [after] birth, mutually coming [to] eat one another, [with] evil karmas together arising, exhausting [the] future’s limit.’
古德云：「欲得天下无兵劫，除非众生不食肉。」
Ancient virtuous [ones] say, ‘[If] desiring [to] attain, [the] heavens’ below, [to be] without wars’ disasters, [it is] only when sentient beings [do] not eat meat.’
又云：「欲知世间刀兵劫，须听屠门半夜声。」
Also saying, ‘[If] desiring [to] know [the] world’s weapons [and] wars’ disasters, [there] must [be] listening [to] slaughterhouses’ doors’ midnight screams.’
既有其因，必招其果。不思则已，思之大可畏也。
Already having this cause, [there] must [be] attracting [of] this effect. [If] not contemplating [to] then end [this, is] contemplating [of] that greatly fearful.
