This is how I hear.

One day the Exalted One stayed in Rajagaha, in the mango forest of Jivaka Komarabhacca.

Then Jivaka Komarabhacca went to the Blessed One, after he bowed to the Blessed One, sitting down on one side. After sitting down one side, Jivaka Komarabhacca White World:

- Lord Buddha, I heard as follows: "For Gotama Satan, they kill the living creatures, and Gotama know how to use meat that was killed for himself and made for himself." "Those who say," For Gotama, they kill the living creatures, and Satan knows that the flesh of the flesh is killed for him and done for him, "says the Buddha. Sun, they have said the same words, they do not misrepresent the Exalted truth, they answered lawfully, legal, and those who like law, legal theory, legal can not be reprehensible?

"This is Jivaka, who says:" For Satan Gotama, they kill the living creatures. And Satan knows that Gotama is still eating the flesh he is slaughtering for himself. " They do not speak my own words, they distort me, not like legs, not real. Hey Jivaka, I say in three cases, meat is not used: see, hear and suspect for yourself that kill. Jivaka, I say in these three cases, meat is not consumed. Hey, Jivaka, I say in three cases, meat is served: not seen, not heard, and not suspected of killing. Hey, Jivaka, I say in these three cases, the meat is served.

Here, Jivaka, a monk based on a village or a town, he is transformed in one direction with loving kindness, and dwells; So is the second, the third, the fourth. So all around the world, on the horizontal, all the places, all over the borderless, he is satisfied with the heart of the sentence with words, generous, boundless, no hatred, no yard and stay. A layman or a lay person came to him and invited him to eat breakfast tomorrow and this Jivaka, he accepted the word. After the night has passed, he monks in the morning to embrace y, holding the bowl, go to the other layman or layman. After arriving, he sat on the prepared space. And the layperson, or the patriarch, uses the alms-giving food.The bhikkhu did not think, "It is good, this layman, Or the layman asked us to use alms food. I hope that this layman or layman in the future will occasionally use such gourmets. "He did not think so, and he took these alms dishes, With no mind, no passion, no passion, clearly see the disasters, clear consciousness of the cup of Jivaka, What do you think? , or think of harming people, or thinking of harm both? What do you think? The monks, during that time think of self-harm, or think of harming people, or thinking of harm both? What do you think? The monks, during that time think of self-harm, or think of harming people, or thinking of harm both?

- No, White World.

- This Jivaka, rate-of-the-other, in that time have to eat dishes without fault?

- Well, that's the meaning I want to say.

- Here, this Jivaka, monks live on a village or a town. He is one with a heart with compassion ... with a heart with joy ... with the heart is flush and stay; So is the second, so is the third, so is the fourth. Thus, throughout the world, on the horizontal, all the places, along the borderless, he, the satisfaction with the heart of the discharge, generous, boundless, no hatred, no yard and stay. A layman or a lay person to that monk and invite tomorrow morning. And this Jivaka, rate-accepts him. After the night has passed, he in the morning to embrace y, holding the bowl, go to the layman, or son of the layman.After arriving, he sat on the prepared space. And the layperson, or the patriarch, uses the alms-giving food. He did not think, "Well, this layman, Or the layman asked us to use alms food. I hope that this layperson, or this layperson in the future, will occasionally use such gourmet alms dishes. "He did not think so, but he took that alms food. With no mind, no passion, no passion, no clearly see the disaster, clear consciousness of the glass. , or think of harming people, or thinking of harm both? Hey, Jivaka, what do you think? The monks, during that time think of harming themselves, or thinking of harming people, or thinking of harm both? Hey, Jivaka, what do you think? The monks, during that time think of harming themselves, or thinking of harming people, or thinking of harm both?
