Friends:
If Blinded by Ignorance one takes Animal Rebirth!
Because of greed one is reborn in eggs of geese, doves or as other
animals
obsessed by great passion, like also in the womb of a rhinoceros...
Because of ignorance one is reborn in the eggs of insects and worms.
Because of hate one is reborn
as snake. Because of pride and obduracy,
one is reborn as lion. Because of arrogance & narcissism one is reborn
in
the wombs of donkeys and dogs. If miserly & discontented one creates
rebirth as a monkey. If foulmouthed, faithless & shameless one is reborn
as crow. Those flogging, chaining & injuring elephants, horses, &
buffalos
become spiders, scorpions, & stinging insects of cruel character. Those
who
are flesh-eating, angry, & fiery are reborn after death as tigers,
jackals,
cats, sharks, vultures, wolves & the like. Those who are generous
givers,
but angry & cruel become
Nāgas =
snake-demons of great
iddhi-power...
Any deliberate wrongdoing in thought, speech and/or action can produce
rebirth as animal! Therefore one should always shun all that is
wrongdoing...
Animal rebirth induced by cruelty!
