龍舒增廣淨土文 6.42

6.42

網飛禽者當自念云：飛禽在林野與空中，無害於人。我貪其肉，多方巧取。我愛性命，他亦有命；我愛骨肉，他亦有子。若能改業，此為上也。若未能改，且勿殺物小命多生抱子者。常念阿彌陀佛，懺悔發大願云：「願我見佛得道之後，盡度從生以來一切所殺物命，皆生淨土。」念念不絕，念自純熟，亦生極樂世界。若轉以化人，使更相勸化，現世可除災滅罪，身後亦不在下品下生。

Those who net flying birds should reflect to themselves: "Flying birds dwell in forests, wilds, and the open sky; they do no harm to humans. Greedily desiring their flesh, I use many schemes to capture them. I cherish my own life, and they too have life; I cherish my own flesh and blood, and they too have offspring. If I can change my occupation, that is best. If I cannot yet change it, I should at least refrain from killing small creatures with many lives or those brooding over their young." Constantly recollect Amitābha Buddha, repent, and make a great vow: "I vow that after seeing the Buddha and attaining the Way, I will completely deliver all living creatures killed throughout my life, causing them all to be born in the Pure Land." Recite mindfulness after mindfulness without interruption; when mindfulness naturally matures, one will also be born in Sukhāvatī. If one further transforms others, having them mutually exhort and transform one another, then in this present life disasters can be eliminated and sins extinguished, and after death one will not be in the lowest birth of the lowest grade.
