"Explained" limited series on Netflix is highly recommended for those who love to learn and wants to know more about specific topics. I've learned a lot from this series. Makes me love Science even more. Watching tv does help you gain knowledge if you watch good series, learn and take notes from it.
If you have been asking why we should eat less meat or stop eating meat, watch Season 2 - The Future of Meat.
If you are wondering about pandemic outbreak and you may actually relate with this new Coronovirus outbreak, watch Season 2 - The Next Pandemic.
All you need is 43 minutes of your time and you'll gain knowledge and probably give better answers to meat eater "why should you not eat meat or at least reduce meat consumption as a start" and "why you should not eat wildlife and care for your hygiene and medication when you have flu".
Oh and these two episodes for me is important because this is about now and the future. If you are not worried, you probably should be.
Sharing of love and care.

【你問我答Round 1】Part 2/3
Me leading my mum to recite the Deliverance Mantra before our lunch.
Once a serial entrepreneur, my mum is an extremely smart woman, but likes to play dumb when it comes to mantra recitation.
I say I will only come out for meals with her, if she recites the mantra.
She says she can only do it when I recite with her. (I have been doing that with her for years, and she still says she can't remember, but has no problem recalling the top 3 prizes for 4D in the last month... #facepalm)

Answering the second question from my AMA, Ask Me Anything, in my Saturday's post.

【我們的身體是祭壇】
QUESTION 2: from Tay Yeng Hwee
"Morning Ji Qian, does eating meat gives us more sin? What do you recommend meat eaters to do (other than giving up meat)?"
My answer:
往生淨土、超生出苦
南無阿彌陀佛
南無阿彌陀佛
南無阿彌陀佛
This is the 往生短咒, Short Mantra for Rebirth to Pureland.
Recite it for 7 times before every meal and dedicate the merits to the animals killed for your meal. This enables the animals to break free from the animal realm and eventually be reborn in the Pureland.
At the same times, this cultivates compassion, gratitude and patience in us before every meal.
Did I mention it's free too? 😁
I practise not eating 3 types of meat: 不見殺、不聞殺、不為己殺.
I abstain from consuming animals that are killed within my sight, whose dying sounds are heard by me and killed specifically for me (e.g. live seafood). Such meats are considered impure. I also do not do fishing or prawning.
Shakyamuni Buddha wasn't a vegetarian. Buddha's top 10 disciples who attained the state of Arahants weren't either. They had to eat what they are given during their alms.
Way before microscopes were invented, Buddha had said these famous words:
一杯清淨水,
八萬四千蟲,
如果不持咒,
如同殺眾生。
A glass of clean water comprises 84,000 living organisms. If a mantra isn't recited before consuming it, it carries the same sin of killing.
The practice of vegetarianism started from the Liang Dynasty, when 梁武帝 Emperor Wu passed a decree stating all members of the Sangha must practised vegetarianism. Hence, Buddhists in Chinese countries adopt the practice of vegetarianism.
Humans get to live at the expense of other beings. Otherwise, we will all die.
We eat the cells of animals, the cells of plants, the offspring of animals, the offspring of plants, as well as the milk of other animals meant for their offspring.
They perish to feed the life force in us.
When we talk about eating meat, it should not be limited to only animals we see with our naked eyes, like ducks, pigs, cows and fishes.
That would be too narrow-minded and simplistic.
As we expand our view of the universe, we will see that anything that can grow and has life is a living thing. Taking away its ability to live is killing. Why shouldn't that include vegetables and tiny-weeny bacteria too?
Should one life be more valued than another, based on size?
Yet, no matter how minuscule a life is, every life has a Buddha nature in it.
When we fall sick, we consume medication to kill the bad bacteria in us.
When we bath, we wash away bacteria with anti-bacterial soap.
When we plough the soil to grow our crops, we trample on worms and bugs, and use pesticides to kill anything that threaten our harvest.
Man injects hormones into animals and modifies the genetics of plants to have them grow in a manner we fancy. That is manipulative killing.
Countless animal testing are done to invent new medication and formulate the daily products we used.
Can we eat less medication? (More hospitals are being built.)
Can we buy less products? (More malls are opening in the real world and virtual world.)
Even plastic straws kill lives.
From a universe's viewpoint, nothing is truly meat-free and sin-free.
When a vegetarian consumes vegetables and gluten deliberately made in the form and texture of animal meat, the thought of eating animals is still prevalent. That does not mean less killing.
Our bodies is a sacrificial altar, a collective life force built from all these animals, plants and micro-organisms that died.
Hence, when we do not use our bodies for the collective good of all living beings, but only living for ourselves, that is the greatest sin of all.
The cells of the food we consume continue to grow inside us. When we recite Buddhist mantras/sutras, we are nourishing the cells with powerful positive energies, and transforming the "meat" (葷) nature into a "vegetarian" (素) nature.
(Ever heard of the Hidden Messages in Water by Dr Masaru Emoto?)
As we eradicate our negative karma with every recitation, the animals and organisms also get their negative karma purified.
冥陽兩利、利己利他、共同成就。
One can definitely opt to be a vegetarian, if he believes that means less suffering for the animals. Some Bazi are also more inclined to be vegetarians. Excessive consumption of meat can also lead to health issues.
But like what Buddha expounded, if a deliverance mantra isn't recited before the meal, that does not negate the sin of killing.
Yeng Hwee's religious affinity definitely lies in Buddhism, and not Western religions.
Don't be like my mum. I hope Yeng Hwee gets to start early, so that the merits he accumulated will not only help him and his ancestors, but also be passed on to his children (if there is enough...).
#BESTinheritanceEVER #祖先有德 #後代昌盛
Thank you for your belief in me to ask this question, Yeng Hwee. 🙏

"แตงโมครึ่งซีก..ในชีวิตคู่”
บ่ายวันหนึ่ง ผมเลิกงานกลับบ้าน ร้อนจนเหงื่อโชก เปิดตู้เย็น พบแตงโมแช่เย็นอยู่ครึ่งซีก ดีใจจนคว้าออกมา แทะกินจนเรียบ
ครู่ต่อมา..ภรรยาผมก็กลับมาถึงด้วย เข้าประตูก็บ่น “กระหายน้ำ ร้อนมาก!” เธอเปิดตู้เย็น และชะงัก ผมบอกเธอว่า แตงโมซีกนั้นผมกินไปแล้ว สีหน้าเธอมีแววไม่พอใจ รีบเอาถ้วยไปรินน้ำ หยิบกระติกขึ้นมา ก็พบว่าในกระติกแห้งสนิท!
...Continue Reading"Watermelon, half-sec.. in a couple life"
One afternoon, I finished work. It was so hot that I was sweating. I opened the fridge and found watermelon. I was chilled for half a season. So happy that I grab
Just a moment later.. My wife came back. She complained about " thirsty!" She opened the fridge and I told her that watermelon. I ate it. Her face was sparkly. She was not satisfied. Take the cup to pour the water. The flask came up and found in the flask is dry!
She immediately said " She came home before. Why didn't you boil some water? What are you doing?"
I'm angry. Why do I have to do anything?"
Both of us have been in the cold war for a week to reconcile.
Saturday, I went home alone. When I saw both of them, " Why didn't you see mercy on this week?" I told me about my mom and blamed me. " Don't worry about myself, but I should care about others "
I don't agree. " Just eat half a watermelon. What the hell?"
Dad laughed, " You don't have to make excuses. Tomorrow is Sunday. Let's eat here
The next day, I brought my family to my parents. When I went into the house, he used me to buy vinegar. When I came back, my dad told me to have mercy to take the kids outside. I told me and dad brought me half a watermelon
" You are hot. Sweat watermelon. Let's go out your thirst The melons are big. It should weigh about two kilograms. Dad sent me a spoon.
" If you can't eat it all, leave it for your wife to eat
I picked up a spoon and ate a big one. I ate less than half of my belly.
After lunch, Dad put two watermelon on the table. Tell me, " Look what's the difference?"
I'm confused. One of the sec I ate. I was eaten. I was eaten. I didn't see what the difference in a moment. Smh.
Dad pointed out to the melons and explained, " This season, you eat another season. I have mercy. Dad told you both of them that if you can't eat it all, let's leave it. Let's see how your wife uses spoon. She starts to eat from the middle The other half is untouched. Look at your stuff. You eat meat in the middle until it's left for other people. Who doesn't know that sweet watermelon in the middle? From this small thing, I can see that I have mercy, much bigger heart than you
My hair is instantly red. Dad meant to say
" Two people are together for the rest of their lives. What's important? Where is the love, care between husband and wife? It's in one drop of oil.. One spoon of rice.. One curry paste.. Last time you were angry about eating watermelon. There are many excuses. If you are wrong. If you have mercy, I will be home first, I guarantee that you. Gotta keep you half "
" Don't think that this is a small thing that doesn't matter, but it reflects the heart of watermelon. It gives knowledge of everyday life. No matter how cold it is, you slowly let it will be hotter someday or heart that no matter how hot it is, you splash cold water Spoon.. One spoon will be completely cool down.
Think about it. If you are kind, you don't care. How will you feel?"
One word awakens people. I suddenly found that I put it every day when I get home.. Tea made for you.. the umbrella that I put in front of the door. It's up to love. Have mercy, but I haven't seen it. I don't know how to take care of him
Think about it and feel ashamed. Hurry up to bring a bowl of dumplings. "You eat first"
She laughed "don't do it in front of mom and mom"
Dad laughed, " If you can do this whole life, it's a good husband
In our heart, love, we need to give each other. We care about our other half. Don't think that every problem is a problem without reason. Think about your fault.
Live your normal life, care about family. Don't just care about other people's business.
Happiness is not at home, but how sweet it is at home.
Happiness.. is not how luxurious I drive, but it's safe to drive home.
Happiness.. is not having a beautiful lover, but it is about how bright the smile of a lover.
Happiness.. is not about listening to more or less sweet words, but in sadness.. Someone told me that it's okay. I still have me..
Don't just care about other people's business in social world until you are far away with family.
