HOW DO WE DEAL WITH THE SMALL WORMS IN OUR RICE?

Shuohua20170714   18:33
(Master Jun Hong Lu’s Call-In Radio Program)

Caller:  Master, how do we deal with the small worms in our rice?

Master Jun Hong Lu:  If you find small worms in your rice, do a few recitations of the Amitabha Pure Land Rebirth Mantra (Wang Sheng Zhou).

Caller:  If I pick them out and flush them down the drain, will this be regarded as life liberation?

Master Jun Hong Lu:  You should pick them up, wrap them up in a small paper bag, and then throw the bag away.  In this way, it is considered to be performing life liberation, as you are letting the worms fend for their own survival. On the other hand, if you flush them away in water, don’t you think you’d be drowning them?

Caller:  I understand.
