..續本文上一頁一些個小鬼在那兒怨天尤人，那股怨氣、那股仇恨的心比什麼都大，比原子彈、氫氣彈都毒，他一定要報仇雪恨，所以現在這個世界上不是老鬼多，而是小鬼多，這一些沒長成人的小鬼，到處皆是。有人到有病的時候，才知道爲什麼有病呢？就因爲冤仇太多了。好像生癌病的人，多數都是因爲殺生太多了，所以這個仇恨不能解開，就生癌病了……
Let”s take abortion for instance, which is fiercer than highway robbery. Think about it, by having an abortion, you are terminating a life before his or her body can completely take shape! With deepest enmity and greatest resentment, these little ghosts of aborted fetuses “complain about the heavens and blame other people.” Their hatred is more powerful and poisonous than atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs; they are determined to seek revenge. Given the prevalence of abortion nowadays, these little ghosts of unborn babies are everywhere, outnumbering the old ghosts in the world. Some people don”t know why they are sick. Actually, they are sick because they have caused too much animosities and resentments. For example, in most cases, people have cancer because they have taken many lives. Being unable to appease the animosities from living beings they have killed, these inpiduals end up with cancer....
墮胎、嬰靈答問錄
Questions about Abortion and Infant Spirits
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
◎宣化上人 開示
Answered by the Venerable Master Hsuan Hua 與其悔之于後，不如防之于前。
It is better to prevent problems from happening, rather than feeling regret afterwards.
問：若有些人由于經濟不允許或其他因素不得已要墮胎，後果是不是一樣嚴重？
Question: If a married couple has no choice but to get an abortion due to financial difficulties or other reasons, will the consequence be as serious
上人：既然經濟不許可，根本就不應該叫她有胎的，免得會有第二種麻煩的事情。自己經濟既然不許可，沒有這種能力範圍，爲什麼要等到有了問題才去想辦法？要防範未然。別的好辦法爲什麼不想？爲什麼一定要等到木已成舟，米已成飯，才知道已經成飯呢？每年的預算，應先打算這筆預算。
The Venerable Master: Since the financial conditions are not permitting, a pregnancy shouldn”t have happened in the first place; in this way, they can avoid the resulting trouble. Given their existing financial difficulties, why do they wait until the problem arises and then try to find a solution
They should have taken precautions against the problem from happening. Why not come up with other good ideas
As it is said, “Why wait until the wood has been made into canoe [before realizing one needs firewood to cook a meal]
” Why wait until when it”s too late to do anything
They should have included the possibility of pregnancy in their annual budget. 問：請問師父，有些未婚媽媽造成社會上很多的問題，還有墮胎……，不曉得師父對這問題，您有何看法或建議？
Question: Venerable Master, some unmarried mothers are causing a lot of social problems, and then there is abortion.... I wonder what opinions or suggestions the Venerable Master has regarding these problems. 上人：這在英文的稱呼是 ”single mother” ── 這是人性的失去，所以在未婚就不守規矩了。不守規矩 ── 好像現代一般的年輕人，他們歡喜跳舞、看電影、唱歌，歡喜這些吃、喝、玩、樂，結果就把人性失去了；把人性失去了，連自己都不知道自己是人了。人應該作人事，他們盡作鬼事，偷偷摸摸地就要不守規矩，沒有結婚就想試一試，結果就生了小孩子。這在西方國家是不當一回事，然而這在我們中國是覺得很羞恥的。
The Venerable Master: You are referring the problem of single mothers. Unfortunately, these inpiduals have lost their sense of humanity, so they break the rules before they get married. Nowadays, most young people like to dance, watch movies, and sing. They enjoy eating, drinking, playing, and seeking pleasure. These desires and actions lead to a loss of their humanity, to the point where they don”t even realize that they are human beings. Human beings should act like human beings, but they do things like ghosts -- covertly not obeying the rules, wanting to try things before they get married... as a result, they have a baby. Things like these may not be big deals in the West, but they are thought of as great shame in China. 所以問題就由這一念的無明而起：男的追女，女的追男……，這都是無明。有了無明，就有了行爲；有了行爲，就有了名色、六入、觸、受……，這些都是無明造成的，由于糊裏糊塗的，結果就産生了愛，繼而占有欲，又生出其他的問題……直到老死，這是十二因緣法。
These problems arise due to a single thought of ignorance: Man chases after woman, woman looks for man.... Because of ignorance…
