If the human has the chance of ceasing their suffering later in their life (which every human does) then it's important to ensure the environment the human is experiencing doesn't end prematurely.<br /><br />I suppose the intent to choose the path of least suffering and most potential to alleviate future suffering mitigates the negative karma produced by the killing act itself.Kaolin Cashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01744036682944428855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1012277645322483593.post-87538026836997466742012-07-03T09:41:35.188-07:002012-07-03T09:41:35.188-07:00I asked a monk during a Q&A, many people laugh...I asked a monk during a Q&A, many people laughed at this silly question, including the monk. What should i do if my house is infested with white ants. His answer is , the white ants will damage your building structure, fall on your family and kill them. Therefore, get professional help. Very logical.<br /><br />I faced with mouse problem too, including the running on the ceiling boards. They even damaged the electrical till my breakers were blacken from the frequent resetting. <br /><br />I put up all sort of trap, some cruel , some humane. <br /><br />The last (most important) i did was to keep all food stuff in well secured location. I also studied them well, and use the cage traps set it sensitively to trigger (sometime lizards trigger them)and then relocate them far far away. Say a little prayer for them before releasing them into the woods. <br /><br />The problem soon stopped completely.<br /><br />Suggest to notify the restaurant below of the problem. Keep your food well secured. And call NEA <br />for help if it still happened. The restaurant guy may not like you later. <br /><br />Cage + cat for deterent is a good idea for long term control. <br /><br />If it all failed, a professional should be consulted. we leave in a non-perfect world, in a "Cannot say No" situation, we do it with kindness with awareness+acceptance of consequences(Karma).snowman1825https://www.blogger.com/profile/01133783868412511485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1012277645322483593.post-18660138949666328972012-06-20T23:17:31.805-07:002012-06-20T23:17:31.805-07:00@Serville :)@Serville :)Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07271910141016847494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1012277645322483593.post-62735448140660527982012-06-18T12:38:05.851-07:002012-06-18T12:38:05.851-07:00You know, I've been in the same dilemma of &qu...You know, I've been in the same dilemma of "to kill or not to kill" situation, and I finally realize one thing (at least for me): Buddhism is never about extremities, it is all about making the wisest choice for ourselves & all sentient beings. By that, when one face a series of "unfortunate events", we are still expected to carefully select one decisison which causes the least damage from all available actions. <br /><br />I remember an analogy about a monk who has only 2 choices: to drink till drunk, or to sleep on the same bed with girls (without sex involved). In the rigidity for maintaining his "holiness", the monk choose to drink in belief it is the least unholy from the 2 choices. So, he drank, and found he lost his ground, and he slept with the girls after being drunk.<br />Now, isn't it a foolish that he causes more harms than good at the end ? All these ..because he wasn't careful enough to make the wisest choice presented to him. A seemingly least damaging choice has actually caused more damages than intended.<br /><br />I think Buddha never teaches anyone to be perfect in any circumstances. All possible efforts that benefits both (the rat & ourselves) should be made first, but when everything fails, and we are presented with the option to kill the rat or to kill ourselves to preserve the rat's life (for its dangers of virus, etc), we can easily fall into the trap of wisdom that the later is the best according to metta.<br /><br />What happens if the rats bring viruses that kills not only us, but also other people in the same area ? To let yourself live & brings peace & help to this world is certainly more skillful than to let us die & let the rats live....at least for me.<br /><br />A boy with lice on his hair.<br />To kill the boy , or to kill the lice ? The boy can potentially grow up a Buddha & he bring peace & love to millions of people in the whole world. Can the lice potentially do the same ?<br /><br />Haven't we taken a bath everday?<br />Do we realize we kill millions of bacteria in the process ? Should we also stop bathing/clean ourself to preserve their life on the basis of metta ?<br /><br />A simple saying has some truth in it: Too much love will kill you....and not only you, perhaps the whole world.Servillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00689879345597371580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1012277645322483593.post-1784588780024078362012-06-15T13:03:14.000-07:002012-06-15T13:03:14.000-07:00Dear Bhante,

Also I think you may have broken your previous record for the number of responses to this blog. This is a compelling subject and of course it is something that impacts on us all to some degree or another. I had a further nuance to add to the mix and it is as follows. Some of your contributors suggested that getting a cat would be a "Kamma free" way out of the situation and I agree, however if one had introduced the cat with the intention of letting nature take its course so to speak, ie the cat will kill the rats ( thats what cats do)then actually this would be virtually no different than introducing a pest exterminator, sorry "pest controller" to the situation.<br />I am certain there is no rat alive that wishes to die in the claws and teeth of a cat notwithstanding death from poison or traps or whatever. I think it was a little unkind for some to suggest that you and your organisation relocate, although I suggest that if the proposed road widening scheduled for Balestier road is immenant, then both BDMS and the rats will be homeless..problem solved!? As with many situations in life the complexities are often<br />difficult to navigate. Think carefully about the situation(if there is time) and act as appropriately as one can.

Perhaps one can look at the SPIRIT of th...Hi Yuri,<br /><br />Perhaps one can look at the SPIRIT of the scenario I set up and not be distracted by the imperfect LETTERS (words) describing that scene? <br /><br />Just as sometimes we are told that we need to adhere to the spirit of the law more than the letters of the law. Often people can find loopholes in the letters of the law (words are imperfect tools/signs to represent reality itself) - and it can become a case of not breaking the letters of the law but actually breaking the spirit of the law.<br /><br />As to your question would a father wanna bring his daughter to do camping in the woods - readers can imagine reasonable reasons why they do it. For example general people have not come across tigers in that area before (even in highly urbanised Singapore, sometimes residents were shocked to find unexpected animals around - not many years ago the Singapore newspapers reported pythons being found in toilet bowl). Similarly some reasonable reasons could easily be imagined as to why the tiger ended up having to chase the girl and why the tiger failed to pounced on her in the first. <br /><br />Readers could easily change the scenario to any other more reasonable or more realistic scenario - such as a child falling into the river near the hut and was attacked by a crocodile and so on. <br /><br />So hopefully readers do not miss the spirit of the question in the constructed scenario just because the letters of the scene might have been imperfectly constructed.reasonablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14971948580051107601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1012277645322483593.post-88583569045260808632012-06-07T18:30:27.392-07:002012-06-07T18:30:27.392-07:00Dear Yuri,I'm not differing from your view but...Dear Yuri,I'm not differing from your view but your opinions are applicable elsewhere.The objective of the question(fantasy!?) is simple, 'what a follower of Dhamma should do if he/she is confronted by a wild animal/murderer?'Certainly contemplating on Anatta isn't the solution,The Bhagavas' disciples include worldlings(Upasakas),Vinaya is different for Bhikkus and laymen and so often contradicting.The Bhagava laid some guidelines for householders & Suttas like Adiya Sutta,Dighajanu Vyagghapajja Sutta,Sigolavada Sutta etc. are not about becoming an Arahant.Just for a few moments assume you are in that real-life situation and tell what should one do?Is self-defense allowed?Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07271910141016847494noreply@blogger.com
