5. Cause and effect
Nobody can escape death. When a person leaves the world he takes along nothing with him, except his Karmic seeds of good or bad deeds. It is said: "At death not even one of 10,000 things we can bring; Except only the Karmic seeds of every deeds we did."
When everyone knows of his evil deeds, or his notoriety is already well-known, we can prevent others and our friends from his evil doings by taking him as an example. By doing so, we are generating good blessings.
If in this life one likes to fight, enjoys killing animals and destroying their homes, and is happy when someone one dislikes has passed away... in one's next life the life-span will be short.
Whenever the ancient people have done a good deed, they will put a red bean into a bottle as a mark. And when a bad deed has been done, they too put a black bean into different bottle. After a year has passed, they would count the beans to check on the number of good and bad deeds that they had done.
Not to kill but to set lives free is to create blessings, a practice so easy; Not to eat meat is our human dignity. For we were born to live, to learn to love, be free. There is nothing great to shout about, just do not kill in your deeds, speech, thoughts. Bad Karma you will then not create, Only Blessings you reap and take.
