戒殺放生(廣東)

秋收啊冬藏春夏長

天生萬物各有所長

食它半斤須要還足八兩

世世生生呀債呀債難償

放生放生戒殺福無量

福勝福勝無邊皆迴向。

 

Thou Shall Not Kill

 

To accumulate during autumn, to shelter in winter

The spring and summer season is for growth

All living beings have their merits

To partake half a catty, needs repayment of eight taels

Each life cycle, the debts are arduous to recompense

Liberate into the wild abhor killing brings boundless merit

Unlimited wealth and victory, shall be returned
