In other words, the newly emerging viruses that are spreading and are a threat to human life are all from our increasing and expanding greedy demand for meat. To wantonly change animal”s lives and their living environment, and trampling upon the life styles that animals should have, results in harmless bacteria transitioning into deadly diseases.
现在病毒已经转型并产生了，特别是极具爆炸性及危险形式的H5N1，要根除已经是不太可能，我们现在唯一能够做的最根本方法就是停止食用牲畜家禽，或者至少严格限制食用量，也就是广泛推行中国大乘佛教的素食精神，推广初一、十五素食(连蛋、奶也不吃)，逐渐普及全民素食，这才可以防止由工厂化饲养及屠宰食用动物而产生的禽流感及新孳生传染病！
Now viruses have undergone transformation and produced, in particular, a very explosive and dangerous form of H5N1. It is not very possible to eradicate it, and the only, most fundamental thing we are able to do, is stop consuming poultry and livestock. Or at least, eating only vegetarian (including not eating eggs or dairy), on the first and fifteenth of the lunar calendar. That is widely implementing the Chinese Mahayana Buddhist spirit of vegetarianism. In this way we can promote gradually popularizing vegetarianism. By severely placing restrictions on the amount of their consumption, we can prevent avian flu and newly emerging infections which are caused by factory farming and slaughtering animals for food.!
结语
Conclusion
诚如笔者在前言中引用了佛教的核心思想三法印：
As I quoted the Three Dharma Seals which are the core ideas of Buddhism in the foreword:
世间的诸法均缘起缘灭，彼此都是互为因果的唇齿相依。
All phenomenon in the world arise and decline because of conditions. And are all mutual causes and effects as close as tongue and teeth.
杀生害物的行为必然引起仇恨、恐惧、压力种种不良的后果，结果还是自作自受。
The acts of killing and harming living beings will definitely lead to acts of hatred, fear, stress and all sorts of undesirable consequences, resulting in, “that which you sow, so shall you reap.”
相反的，如果能够从因地中改变缘起，戒杀爱物，与万物和洽共处，放下舌根的味觉感受，换来的是健康和睦，又何乐而不为呢！
Conversely, if we can change conditions at the cause, by not killing but instead loving animals, and by having harmonious relationships with all things and letting go of the tongue”s desire sense of taste, what we will reap in return are health and harmony. Why don”t we just do it!
