Avoid creating human suffering according to the Buddha's teaching.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.

One day, the Buddha and the monks went begging in the countryside. Meet the children who are catching crabs in the fields and bring them up and play for them to race with each other, whoever loses is punished.

The children play such a passionate crab game. Try to think that if a child loses about 10 times, they will break all their legs and legs, when the crab cannot crawl anymore, they will trampled their feet to the field. The ones that won it also cut down to accept the other ones.

Buddha saw the game too cruel, and asked him to say,  "Hey children! Please stop, don't play games like that. For example, if you cut your leg, or broke your hand, would you hurt? "

Children say: " Stomach pain ".

Buddha said: " So is the crab, it is broken by the children, it breaks as much as you do, do you know?"

The children heard it and felt that their bad jobs should be silenced and not answered.

Buddha continued:  "The crab also knows how to eat and drink, it also has its parents and siblings as children. But you torment the crab like that, then you will also torment its parents and siblings. Just like when your children are sick, your parents, or your siblings, also have to worry and suffer. If the crab can't break its leg, it means it won't be able to eat, it will be even more miserable. Well, you do not play like that anymore foolish " .

The children who heard it here expressed regret.

The Buddha reminds me to do so as suffering for the crab, so we must also remember that we are too. Sometimes I have my legs cut off, or do I get a lot of scratches in my skin, so do I break them, break the crab without hurting?

Sometimes when I get sick, my parents and siblings worry more; The crab is like that, his parents and siblings also have anxiety for him but he can't help it, thinking like that, I will have openness.

At that time strange strangers stopped to watch a great deal, taking the opportunity that the Buddha taught more, that is, to teach these children and to teach adults.

All animals, big or small, whether walking on two feet, or swimming in the water, have the right to live in peace and happiness. We should not kill each other's hatred, we should help and protect each other.

The new Buddha said: " Hey children! We all want to live peacefully and happily, so are the animals that are like it, they also want to live peacefully and happily. So we have to make all species live peacefully and happily, that is fair. We must protect each other's life, and bring joy to each other ” .

And He said this sentence is a sentence that we must study carefully, remember carefully not to forget: "If we cannot bring happiness to others, we should also try to avoid causing more suffering."

Buddha added: "All animals, big or small, whether walking on two feet, or swimming in the water, have the right to live peacefully and happily. We should not kill each other's hatred, we should help and protect each other ”.

Why do you think the Buddha taught that?

Because sentient beings are miserable, they often do not live up to the truth. When suffering for people, for animals, we are happy, ready to do, assuming others do it for themselves, then we will not bear it. Those who have learned Buddha must reconsider, to avoid not creating a suffering human being, and seeing the result must live in suffering without realizing their delusion. It means making mistakes, but I don't realize it, sometimes I am right, so keep doing it. END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.26/4/2019.
