After Su Dongpo was released from prison in the Wutaishi case, he stopped killing. If it is a crab or a clam, he will release it into the river. Even if it is not alive, its kindness is far beyond the cruelty of cooking. Probably because he was just out of trouble, it was no different from chickens and ducks escaping the brutal killing in the kitchen, so he could not bear to make all living beings suffer infinite terror because of his greedy desire of eating.
There is no feeling of being, feeling of nothing, feeling of being or not, good feeling, same feeling, bad feeling, I know what I see. To perceive in this way, the previous senses without wisdom will disappear, and the perception of wisdom will arise.

Cao Bin was a famous general in the early Northern Song Dynasty. He said: "Since I became a general, I have killed a lot of people, but I have never killed a single person because of my own emotions." His residence was old, and the clan asked for repairs.

Saha is translated as enduring, and the Saha world is referred to as the world of enduring. All beings in this realm are at ease with the ten evils. They are willing to endure all kinds of afflictions and are not willing to leave. The sentient beings in this realm are willing to endure evil, and the bodhisattva in this land endures evil for teaching all sentient beings.
It is the place where both good and evil manifests and where beings must exercise patience and endurance (kṣānti). It is also described as the place where Śākyamuni Buddha teaches the Dharma. Chinese texts sometimes translate the term as 忍土 (pinyin: Rěntǔ), literally "land of endurance."
Realm of Desire
The desire realm (kāmadhātu) is where all sentient beings consist of a physical body and are susceptible to the experience of sense faculties. These beings are generally composed of 18 elements (dhātu), that include the sense bases and their respective modes of consciousness.
In Buddhist cosmology, the desire realm is often described as being composed of four continents (cāturdvīpaka) which surround Mount Sumeru, which itself is surrounded by oceans and mountain ranges. The four continents are
Jambudvīpa in the South
Pūrvavideha in the East
Uttarakuru in the North
Avaragodānīya in the West
Realm of Form
Realm of Non-Form
The Vimalakirti Sutra further elaborates on the nature of the Sahā world.It is treated as a pure land of its own, under the jurisdiction of Śākyamuni Buddha. It has ten features distinct from other pure lands:
The poor are attracted by charity
The transgressors are attracted by pure precepts
The angry are attracted by forbearance
The lazy are attracted by exertion
The perturbed are attracted by meditation
The foolish are attracted by wisdom
Those who experience the eight difficulties are saved by explanation of how to eliminate difficulties
Those who take pleasure in the Hinayana are saved by the teaching of the Mahayana
Those without merit may be saved by the various good roots
The liberation of sentient beings is constantly being accomplished by means of the four attractions
When Song Zhenzong was offering sacrifices in Fenyin, he saw a sheep knocking itself to death on the side of the road. Song Zhenzong thought it was very strange, so he asked the reason.

One day, Zhou Yujia, a scholar, was cooking eel when he found an eel arching its body in the pot, propping its head and tail in the boiling water, and exposing its abdomen to the surface of the water. Zhou Yujia felt very strange, so he cut open the eel and found that its belly was full of eggs. This female eel cooked her own head and tail to protect the eggs. Zhou Yujia was very shocked by the eel's mother's love, and felt very regretful about the cooking of the eel. From then on, he would never eat eel. - "Sad Records"
There was a man named Liu Ziyu in Wujiang. He has a fish pond. In winter, he builds an earth embankment in the fish pond, and then puts all the water in the fish pond inside the embankment. After the water in the pond is drained, he can catch fish. When the water was halfway down, Liu Ziyue saw two big carp, jumping out of the embankment, and then jumping in again, jumping back and forth in this way many times, he thought it was strange, so he approached to see clearly, to see that they were in doing what. It turned out that this pair of carp had just produced hundreds of small carps. The small carp gathered in a hole. They couldn't jump, so they couldn't get out. If the water continues to be drained, they will all die, so the carp father and carp mother will use their mouths to hold the baby carp and jump to the side where there is water, and then jump in again, and then hold other small carps, just like that. The father carp and the mother carp jumped in so desperately, they continued to jump over to rescue their children. Even if they may be trapped in death, they will not hesitate. After watching them for a long time, Liu Ziyu was very moved and sighed sadly, so he removed the earth embankment and released all the carp.
