I have a fellow Taoist who sincerely recites the name of the Buddha every day, but she does not observe the precepts and says that she can carry her karma into rebirth. What do you think about this problem?

Tell her: I agree with your view that you can carry your karma into rebirth, but please think about it, why would Amitabha do this? Because he knows that some people have bad habits that have been cultivated for countless kalpas and cannot be changed at the moment, so he is very compassionate and allows the sentient beings who have caused the karma. If not, then everyone will have a fear: I have done too many evils, will Amitabha? Don’t accept me or dislike me? Self-denial thus loses the good opportunity for liberation and reincarnation.

Furthermore, you must know that only those who have bodhicitta, are willing to be reborn in the Land of Ultimate Bliss, and accept the name of Amitabha Buddha will definitely be able to go there. The three are indispensable! When you eat meat and kill animals, it is not only a matter of compassion, but also a form of bad karma: when you become a Buddha and save sentient beings, no one will listen to you and will slander you because you once ate their meat. How can they convince you? And they will feel unequal: Why doesn’t the West consider our feelings when you recite Buddha’s name to seek survival? Because of dissatisfaction and hatred, they usually dare not find fault with those who recite the Buddha's name: because those who recite the Buddha's name are protected by twenty-five Bodhisattvas day and night, and Amitabha's light shines, they dare not cause trouble. But once you are about to die and see the West so close, your enemies and creditors will rush in to interfere with you and prevent you from reciting the Buddha's name, making you so scared that you lose the chance to die! Because when you go to the Western Paradise, your soul leaves the body without the protection of the body and the protection of the Dharma Protector, then what can you do? You can only recite the Buddha's name, but they may also come up with all kinds of strange things to scare you, so don't eat meat at ordinary times, eat fast and release animals to accumulate merit, so that when you die, the guardian gods will admire you. Enemies and creditors will also be willing to let you go: the condition is that you Save them when you come back! Don’t think about doing evil while pretending to recite Buddha’s name and say how compassionate you are. Real compassion is to eat fast and recite Buddha’s name and then dedicate your merits to persuade others to recite Buddha’s name. If you do this, you will be a Bodhisattva!
