| QUESTION : Who steals a great deal of his food. |
| Hello to you. What would you say to a practitioner who wonders if he is going to take the boddhisattva vows, one of the 4, and who steals a great deal of his food in supermarkets? |
| ANSWER : |
|
I would tell him to take advantage of it as long as he does not receive this ordination and makes the vow of no longer stealing. Mr. Carrefour will not be ruined by your act, but do not risk to steal yourself even by thinking that what you take do not belong to you by a divine right and has been always intended for you. Then, always thank for this food and it will be yours. KOSEN! |
