Stop Killing and Release Life: Do not collect essence of flowers and plants when practising Qigong

戒杀放生：练气功不要采集花草精华

amitabha. Everything in the world has spirituality. Don't hurt flowers, plants and trees.

---Zhuge Changqing

amitabha.

Blessed life is limitless.

Many friends have actively abstained from killing and set free, which is amazing.

Abstaining from killing and releasing animals is a broad atmosphere.

Killing includes not only killing animals, but also deliberately cutting down trees, injuring flowers and plants, and practicing Qigong to collect the essence of flowers and plants.

Those who practice Qigong, especially for a long time, will wither and die if they collect the essence of flowers, plants and trees.

Many friends practice Qigong, and many of them advocate collecting natural aura to supplement their own energy.

According to the cause and effect theory, if you collect the essence of flowers and trees to practice Qigong, they will also collect their essence as creditors in the future.

As the Gao Zu of the Venerable Master Xuanhua and who had practiced Qigong, Guqing suggested not to do so, otherwise it would directly harm the flowers and trees. Many flowers, plants and trees will die directly after being purified by Qigong. And then formed a new cause and effect.

What if you have collected the essence of flowers, plants and trees when practicing Qigong?

One is to repent and say sorry to them, and the other is to return the collected essence to them. Third, if you can recite Buddhist names and signs, Buddhist scriptures, release life, and give food, you can do meritorious deeds and return to them for three days. Fourth, if conditions permit, you can plant more flowers and trees in nature.

Zhuge Changqing shared the advice of Guoqing to those who had a chance. Please see the Buddha Light Bathing - The Revelation of Guqing. It is amazing that Guqing also spread Buddhism through books and videos.

Q: I often play seven games, such as Dizang Seven. I only recite nine parts of Dizang Sutra a day. It's hard and I often feel exhausted.

Before going to bed at night, I often meditate for half an hour, and use the method of breathing when practicing Qigong in the past to take the essence of nature, such as the essence of forests, oceans, parks, flower beds, etc. I have seen, to supplement the elixir gas consumed by chanting too many sutras, which has a certain effect.

But some people say that such gas production is stealing, and it is a theft, and it will not go out of the three realms in the future.

Is that right?

Guo Qing replied: Yes. Qigong is not recommended for those who learn Buddhism.

The Tibetan scriptures say that it is guilty to take without giving. When Qigong was hot at the end of the 1980s, I also practiced a period of Qigong and used the above methods to collect gas to supplement myself. I felt pretty good at first.

One night, when I was practicing martial arts and breathing, I suddenly thought of the blooming flowers in my yard. I felt that there was "breath" coming in all over my body. I was very happy at that time. But the next morning, I found that a dozen pots of flowers in the yard were all withered, including large pots of orange trees, rubber trees, and blooming azaleas.

I was so distressed that I burst into tears, and immediately realized that it was my own "breathing" that caused them harm.

So I immediately thought of returning the gas to them.

He said to them at the same time, "I'm sorry, I don't know that 'Qi extraction' can hurt you. Please forgive me. Now I will return your" Qi "to you and all my own" Qi "in Dantian to you. I hope you can recover soon."

As I said, I turned around all the flowers, and tears fell on the flowers and leaves until I felt exhausted. I believed they would recover, because I not only "returned" my breath, but also gave them all my "breath". However, the next day was even worse. I sent "anger" to them again to save them. My heart was filled with tears.

The next morning, I got up and was ready to go to the yard to check. As soon as I opened the door, a strong fragrance of flowers came to my face. It was a fragrant smell I had never heard before. The instant feeling in my mind was "the flowers are dead! They forgive me and are saying goodbye to me." I hurried out to see the flowers and burst into tears.

My wife and two children rushed out of the room at the sound of the noise, and when they saw me kneeling in front of the flowers with tears on my face, they were also unable to speak.

Suddenly, my daughter said to me, "Dad, these flowers all look like boys and girls, wearing clothes worn by ancient children. They asked me to tell you not to be sad. They don't hate you at all, but please say a word, let them go where?" I didn't understand my daughter's words: "Where are they going?" The daughter said, they are dead and have to be reincarnated. Where do you want them to go, they can go with your words. " I casually replied, "Then go to the Dragon Palace" - perhaps because I just watched the TV series "Journey to the West" not long ago. My daughter said, "They thank you for leaving." At that time, I had not contacted Buddhism and did not understand the six ways of reincarnation. Until I understood it a few years later, I specially recited the Great Compassion Mantra for those flowers.

This event has deeply taught me that I will never hurt flowers, plants and trees again, whether they have divine sense or they are attached to flowers, plants and trees. In short, I know that they are alive. Isn't our human divine sense also "temporarily" attached to this impermanent prosthesis?

Later, after I read the Buddhist scriptures, I learned that there is Buddha's light shining all over the Dharma world, but we can't see it with our naked eyes. When you are tired again, sit still and meditate, thinking of sitting on the lotus, opening the pores of your body, and receiving the light of Buddha. Buddha and Bodhisattva care for us more than our parents. They will not only blame us, but also be happy.

Because we think of Buddha when we feel bitter.

Therefore, the Buddha shines to benefit all living beings.

Zhuge Changqing wishes all those who are good and virtuous in the world the best of everything.

阿弥陀佛。天地万物皆有灵性，不要伤害花草树木。

--- 诸葛长青

    阿弥陀佛。

   福生无量天尊。

   很多朋友积极戒杀放生，令人赞叹。

   戒杀放生是一个广泛的氛围。

   杀生，不仅包含杀害动物，还包括故意的砍伐树木、伤害花草、练气功采集花草精气等。

   练气功、尤其是长期练气功者，如果采集花草树木精气，也会令花草树木枯萎致死。

   很多朋友练气功，其中很多气功主张采集大自然灵气，补充自己的能量。

   根据因果理论，如果你采集花草树木精华练气功，将来他们也会作为债主讨债追还自己的精华。

   作为宣化上人的高足、曾经练过气功的果卿居士建议，不要这样做，否则会直接伤害花草树木。很多花草树木，被练气功采集净化后会直接死去。进而结下了新的因果。

    如果练气功意念采集过花草树木精华怎么办？

   一是忏悔和他们说对不起，二是意念把采集过的精华还给他们。三是如果会念诵佛号道号、佛经、放生、施食等，可以做功德回向他们三天。四是如果有条件，可以多到大自然中栽植花草树木。

   诸葛长青把果卿居士的建议分享给有缘者。请看《佛光沐浴---果卿居士的开示》。果卿居士还通过书籍、视频等大力传播佛法，令人赞叹。

   问：我常参加打七，比如打地藏七，一天仅诵《地藏经》就九部，比较辛苦，常有精疲力尽之感。

   晚上临睡前我常打坐半个小时，用以前练气功时采气的方法，意念采取大自然当中精华之气，比如自己曾见过的森林、海洋、公园、花圃等的精华之气，补充自己因念经多而消耗的丹田之气，有一定的效果。

   可有人说这样的采气是偷气，属偷盗行为，将来出不了三界。

   这种说法对吗?

   果卿居士回答：对的。气功采气的方法学佛的人不可取。

   地藏经上说不予而取是有罪的。八十年代末气功热的时候，我也曾练过一段气功，用以上方法采气补充自己。起初感觉还挺不错的。

   有一天晚上在练功采气时忽然想到了自己院子里茂盛的鲜花，顿感全身有簌簌的“气”进来，当时心里还很高兴，谁知第二天早晨就发现院子十几盆花全都蔫了，其中有大盆的桔子树，橡皮树，盛开的杜鹃等。

   我当时心疼的直掉泪，立即意识到是自己“采气”对它们造成的伤害。

   于是即刻想到把气还给它们。

   嘴里一边向它们说着“对不起，我不知道‘采气’能伤害你们，请你们原谅我，现在我把你们的“气”退还给你们，把我自己的丹田“气”也全部给你们，希望你们快点恢复健康。”

   我边说边围着所有的花转，眼泪都撒落在花和叶之上，直到我感觉到精疲力尽，我相信它们一定能恢复起来，因为我既“还”了气，又把我的“气”全部给了它们。谁知，第二天更糟糕，我又一次地向它们发“气”，以挽救它们，心中难过得泪流满面。

   第三天早上起床便准备去院子里查看，一推开屋门，一股浓烈的百花香味扑面而来，这是我从未闻到过的芳香气味，我当时脑子里的瞬间感觉是“花死了!它们原谅了我，在向我告别。”我急忙迈出门去看花，顿时哭出了声来。

   妻子和两个孩子闻声也急忙跑出屋来，看到我跪在花前泪流满面的样子，也都难受的说不出话来。

  忽然女儿对我说：“爸爸这些花都现出了男孩女孩的样子，穿的都是古代小孩穿的衣服，他们让我告诉您不要难过了，他们一点也不恨你，但请你说句话，让他们去哪啊?”我没听懂女儿的话：“什么去哪啊?”女儿说，他们死了，还要去转世，您希望他们去哪，借着您的话他们就可以去了。”我信口答了一句“那就去龙宫吧”——也许是我不久前刚看电视剧“西游记”的缘故才这么说的。女儿说：“他们谢过您都走了。”那时我还没有接触佛教，根本不懂六道轮回的事，直到我几年后明白了，才又专门为那些花念大悲咒进行了超度。

   这件事深深地教育了我，绝不敢再伤害花草树木，无论它们是本身有神识也好，还是神识依附在花草树木之上也好，总之我知道了它们是有生命的，我们人的神识不也是“暂时”依附在这个无常的假体之上吗?

   以后在我读过佛经之后，知道了尽虚空遍法界都有佛光普照，只是我们肉眼凡胎看不见罢了。再有疲劳之时，就静坐观想，意念自己坐在莲花之上，打开全身毛细孔，接受佛光的沐浴。佛菩萨对我们的关爱胜过我们的父母，不但不会怪罪我们，还会高兴。

   因为我们在感到苦的时候想到了佛。

   佛所以放光普照，就是要利益众生的。

   诸葛长青祝福天下行善积德的有缘者心想事成、万事如意。
