(I.)
In different workplace environments, people are involved in different aspects of killing. The balance of lives manifests in different forms. As a cultivator, you should first of all give up all attachments and conform to the state of human society, as this is maintaining the Fa’s manifestation at a certain level. If no one performs the human jobs, the Fa at this level will cease to exist.
(II.)
Lives exist or die naturally within the Fa. The universe goes through formation, settlement, and degeneration, and human beings undergo birth, old age, illness, and death. There also exist unnatural births or deaths in the balance of lives. There is sacrifice in forbearance, and a complete sacrifice is a higher principle of non-omission.
