市场上买来的三净肉，真的没有共业吗？

《WHY VEGETARIAN?》

  素食的意义

Vajrayana also holds that the butcher and the person buying the meat are equally guilty of killing lives. It is the same logic as paying the workers to repair a stupa whereby in our minds we would gather all the merit since the money is from us. Likewise, the animals are not killed by us personally but the butchers. Nevertheless, it is primarily due to our need to consume meat that drives the butchers to kill. In other words, we pay the butchers to kill. One may argue, “We never asked them to kill." But will the butchers kill if they do not expect to be paid? Normally, the relationship between the butchers and the animals is not one of hate. The animals have never hurt these people nor broken any law. Money is no doubt the ultimate motive, and it comes from us. We can be said the instigators of the killing. If there is merit to be had in paying workers to repair a stupa, by the same token there are faults in paying others to kill. This is the view of Vajrayana, but it also makes a lot of sense even from an ordinary person’s point of view.

密宗里面还讲到：屠夫和付钱买肉的人有同样的罪过。就像我们拿钱请工人去修塔，会认为功德是我们的，因为钱是我们的一样，虽然我们没有亲自去杀生，而是屠夫杀的，但却是我们给钱让他杀的。也许有人会说，我们事前也没有让他去杀啊！可是，如果没有人付钱，他也不会杀生。因为，他和动物之间并没有仇恨，而且动物也没有伤害他或做犯法之事。他唯一的目的，就是为了钱，而钱是我们给的，实际上就等于是我们在让他杀生。所以，如果付钱给工人修塔有功德，那么付钱让人杀生也同样有罪过。密乘里就是这样讲的，即使从普通人的角度来看，这也很有道理。

中英文连载 —— 《The Right View》(147)

The situation has now gone from bad to worse thanks to the highly developed transportation system which has enabled many slaughterhouses to export all kinds of meat every day. For example, fish caught at the sea can be transported by plane to almost any destination right away. Nowadays, some of the slaughterhouses do not just cater to one village, one city or one country but to all meat eaters all over the world. In other words, they kill for the sake of meat eaters worldwide. It is no longer like the old days when the only buyers of a village slaughterhouse were the village people.

现在这种现象更为厉害。因为交通和运输工具已经十分发达，每天世界上有很多的屠宰场都在出口肉类。比如，从海里捕捞的很多鱼类，马上就可以用飞机运走。现在有些屠宰场的鱼、肉已经不是为一个村庄、一个城市或一个国家提供的了，而是为世界各地吃肉的人提供，是为了所有吃肉的人而杀生。这不像以前，一个村庄里如果有屠宰场，其买主也就是这个村子里的人。

In our world today, innumerable lives are being killed every day for the meat eaters. Who are the meat eaters? We should know that some of us belong to that group. This means slaughterhouses in many countries are presently killing tens of thousands of animals for our sake. It is a terrifying spectacle indeed, so said in the scriptures as well.

在这个世界上，每天为了吃肉的人杀掉了无以计数的生命，而谁是吃肉的人呢？要知道，我们就是他们中的一员！也就是说，今天，世界上很多国家的屠宰场为我们杀掉了成千上万的生命，这一点是很可怕的，在经典里面也讲到了。
