問:做為一個家庭主婦,無意中總會犯殺戒,這個時候應該如何是好?

上人:我也是個小螞蟻,殺了我不要緊,殺了螞蟻不可以的。  --金剛棒喝:宣公上人答問錄

Q: Those who have received the precepts must uphold the precept of not killing. However, I have so many ants at home that I would step on them by accident. I violate this precept every day. Please tell me how to eradicate my offenses.
Ven. Master Hua: I am also a little ant and you should kill me first.  --T
he Vajra Strikes: A Collection of Q & A's with the Venerable Master Hsuan Hua

 *  *  *

Tips for problems with ants at home: 

A few drops of tea tree oil (available at major pharmacies) around the areas of infestation will repel insects such as ants--and maybe termites--without harming them.  The smell of the oil alone is sufficient to drive them away.  Place a few drops ahead of them, and around them.  Do not block off  their retreat, but instead leave it open for them to turn around and go back.  All you have to do is be patient and allow them the time to make it  home--aliveDo not drip the oil on them--that will kill them!

 

If you need to move ants out of the way, try wetting a small section of paper towel with water so that it is damp but not dripping wet.  Use the damp paper towel to lightly touch an ant from its side, and "pick up" the ant, then set the paper towel down at a different location (but still allows the ant to find its way home) and give the ant time to get off the paper towel.  Please do this one ant at a time to avoid accidentally crushing or drowning the ants. 

 

People have told stories that the more they killed insects, the more insects showed up in their houses.  Some tried sincerely transferring merit to them and that worked.

簡易驅蟻小秘方:

滴數滴茶樹油("Tea Tree Oil"藥房有售)在螞蟻(或可試用於白蟻)出沒附近足以驅趕而不傷生。油的氣味就會讓它們避開。在它們前進的前方和四周滴幾滴,但不要切斷它們的退路,要留一條活路,讓它們能撤退回家。您只需耐心給它們一點時間,就能讓它們活著回家。請勿將油滴到它們身上,這樣會殺死它們!

 

您若需將螞蟻移開,將一小片紙巾用水沾濕,以溼紙巾輕觸螞蟻將牠“沾”起,放到他處(但仍能讓螞蟻回家),給螞蟻時間從紙巾上走下來。一次請只“沾”起一隻螞蟻,以免壓死或溺死它們。

 

有人的經驗是蚊蟲越殺越多,誠心囘向反而有效。

The Eight-fold Fasting-day Precepts:

   

 

 

... First are the five precepts against killing, stealing, sexual misconduct, lying, and taking intoxicants.  Next are the eight precepts, which include the five precepts already listed, plus:

6. Do not adorn the body with flowers, fragrances, beads, or fragrant oils.
7. Do not use high, grand, or big beds and do not look at, listen to, or participate in musical entertainment.

By not sleeping in a grand bed, you train yourself not to be arrogant.

8. Do not eat at improper times.

Not eating at improper times means not eating after noon. Not eating after noon helps train you against greed, because if you can eat anytime you want, then you will simply want to eat all the time. Laypeople can take these precepts....

 

 

...最初有五戒,就是殺、盜、淫、妄、酒。然後又有八戒,這是五戒再加上第六條「不非時食」,就不是什麼時候都吃東西的,過了中午十二點鐘以後,就不吃東西了。不非時食,這就不會有一種貪心:你人若是吃慣了東西,一有東西就想要吃;你不非時食,就能制止這種貪吃的貪欲心。

 

第七條「不坐高廣大床」,因為睡這高廣大床,會生出一種貢高驕傲的心;不睡大的床,就養成自己沒有驕傲心。

 

還有「不塗飾鬘,歌舞觀聽」,不用些花、香的,或是什麼美麗的東西,來塗抹裝飾自己的衣服和身體,

 

也不故意去聽歌曲、看跳舞等來娛樂,因為這樣也能令人生出一種淫逸放蕩的心。所以這都要戒,這叫「八戒」,八戒在家人也可以受的....

For all the bad karma I created in the past,

Based upon beginningless greed, hatred, and ignorance,

and born of body, mouth, and mind,

I now repent and reform before the Buddhas.
