(English subtitles) Buddhist Master Chin-Kung (淨空法師), 1927-2022, talks dharma.
Subtitles:
A question: An elder eats vegetarian food, but her family want to eat meat. Hence, she has to cook meat for them everyday. She felt uneasy both physically and mentally. Her family don't know dharma and slander 3-Jewels sometimes. What can she do? She should joyfully cook meat for them. Then they won't slander. What I say makes sense.
The Sixth Patriarch Huineng cooked meat for the hunters when he was with the team of hunter. He has cooked for 15 years, not 15 days. He happily cooked for them and gradually reformed them. It needs a long time.
They eat meat, and you eat vegetarian food. After a few years, he finds out that you are healthier than him, and you are stronger than him. Let him think about it slowly. He'll find out gradually those eating vegetarian food are better than us. Then he will return. Don't cause conflict. Don't cause misunderstanding. This is very important. Dharma often says, wherever the bodhisattva is, he will surely make every sentient being delighted. If it disturbs sentient beings, it is not the Dharma. Must make sentient beings delighted. Get along well with him, he has karmic hindrance. When he wakes up, he will return. So, help him wake up.
