Why can't Buddhism kill?
Put yourself in others' shoes. Who in the world wants to be killed? Who wants their family to be killed? Confucius, a sage in China, famously said, "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you." This is the annotation that Buddhism does not kill. If we look at the cries and struggles of animals when they are killed, we can know that all living beings are unwilling to be killed. Buddhism is merciful to all beings, and it just proves that Buddhism is the greatest religion.

The ancient sages of China also said: "A gentleman is a beast, seeing his life, he can't bear to die; Hearing its voice, I can't bear to eat its meat. Far cooking is also a gentleman. This truth is the same as Buddhism.

The "emptiness" of Buddhism is not a breakthrough. Everything is empty, not that there is nothing. If there is nothing, what do you want Buddhism to do? Empty means that everything is caused by karma. For ordinary people, the pain of being cut by a knife and the pain of losing relatives and family members will hurt the bone marrow. Therefore, Buddha and Bodhisattva are merciful to all beings and advocate that Buddha disciples do not kill life.
