佛說佛名經 20.24

20.24

"Or with clubs, stakes, cudgels, poles, spears, bows, and crossbows, pelting and shooting at birds of the air and beasts of the field; or with mesh nets, casting nets, and fishing hooks, dredging and scooping up aquatic creatures—fish, softshell turtles, giant turtles, gavials, shrimp, clams, snails, mussels, and all those dwelling in dampness—leaving those of water, land, and air nowhere to hide or flee; or raising chickens, pigs, cattle, sheep, dogs, hogs, geese, ducks, and the like, whether to supply our own kitchens or selling them to others to be slaughtered, so that their cries of grief have not yet ceased when their feathers are plucked, their scales torn and broken, their heads severed from their bodies, their bones and flesh smashed to pieces, flayed, butchered, and sliced, broiled, roasted, boiled, and grilled, suffering bitter, excruciating agony, wrongfully inflicted on the innocent merely to obtain a moment's pleasure, what the mouth gains in taste being so little, extending merely past three inches of the tongue's root; yet the retribution and burden of these sins spans eternal kalpas. For all such sins, today with utmost sincerity we take refuge and make repentance.
