The crime of killing in mind is not a light one 殺生心 罪非輕

English subtitles:
There's a village in Hubei Province, that produces three highly skilled butchers. Everybody calls this place as Butcher Village. Sir, is this place Butcher Village?
Yes, this is Butcher Village.
So, where does Liu Butchers of your village live?
There are three Liu Butchers in the village. I wonder which one you are looking for?
What? There are three butchers. We only heard that Liu Butcher of your village is very skilled and can kill any animal with a single stab. In addition, he is so skilled that he won't damage the animal's fur.
Ha, three of them have similar skills. Otherwise, people won't call here the Butcher Village.
Looks like we've come to the right place this time.
What is your purpose here?
1:00
We came to learn skill from Liu Butcher.
Yeah. Everybody said that Liu Butcher in your Butcher Village is terrific. We two want to learn skills from Liu Butcher.
I would advise you two not to learn this skill.
Why do you say so? Are you afraid that if we learn this skill, we'll steal the reputation of your Butcher Village?
In fact, this can no longer be counted as a butcher village.
The three Liu Butchers no longer engage in this profession.
They have changed careers? What exactly happened?
The three have engaged in this business over years and have slaughtered too many lives. Many years ago, they suffered the afflictions of karma one after another.
Suffer the karma?
2:00
Why do you say so?
In our village, the oldest one of the Liu butchers is called Liu, One Stab. No matter how large the animal is, he can kill it with a single stab.
Mr. Liu, you must help all of us this time.
What happened?
There is a ferocious dog in the village, and everybody is afraid of it. So, we want to perish it because it threats our safety. We asked many butchers for help, but they were unwilling to do so.
They said if you could not kill it with a stab, he would bite you in return.
Yeah, later, we heard that you are skillful, so we especially came for your help.
3:00
I am the right person you are looking for. Not to mention a dog, even a wolf, I can kill it with a stab. I will go with you.
Once more, Liu One Stab killed the dog with one stab. However, for this reason, karma befell him soon.
Husband, so, did you kill that big dog?
Of course, I did it personally. How could it fail?
Isn't it said the dog is very ferocious? Are you hurt?
How could it hurt me? The dog has just given birth to puppies. Those puppies haven’t been weaned yet. It's especially aggressive because it's trying to protect its pups.
What? Since you knew the dog became ferocious for protecting its puppies,
4:00
why did you kill it? The employer has paid me. How could I give up?
Hubby, can you not take up that kind of work in the future? Think about it. You kill that dog, what about those newborn puppies?
What's wrong with you? You are never like this.
Do you know the Buddhist laywoman in our village? She came today and told me a lot of things about karma. I feel scared after hearing those things. You have been killing animals for so many years. Once the karma comes down on you, it will be miserable.
Hum, it's her again. Every time we met, she would persuade me to repent and change career. That's very annoying.
5:00
If killing animals will induce karma, I would like to see what the karma is. Cough...
Are you okay?
Do you think that it was strange? Liu One Stab was actually choked to death by a cup of water. Everybody says that he got karma because he had slaughtered too many living things.
That was exaggerated, he was actually choked to death by a cup of water.
Yeah, it's probably just a coincidence.
Moreover, I will tell you the story of another butcher Liu, Zhichang. He is a very bold butcher.
Chang, this is the horse I mentioned. It broke its leg. The vet said that even if its legs were reattached, it would no longer be able to work. So I ask you to slaughter it. Look, the horse is scared.
6:00
There's no use being scared. It can no longer work for us, and we can't keep it forever.
Well, since you said so, I will kill it now.
What are you doing?
Elder, this horse is injured. It can no longer work for us. So we are gonna kill it. Lest we have to spend money to keep it.
How can you do that? This horse has been working non-stop since it came to your house, without a day's rest. Now you are going to kill it because it can no longer work. All of you will get karma by doing so. Liu, Zhichang, don't forget the fate of Liu One Stab.
Liu One Stab, again. That's because he drank water and choked to death accidentally. You keep saying he got karma. It's not convincing to me.
