放生殺生現報錄_上（L045 中華印經協會．台灣生命電視台）

　　古德云：「禍福無門，惟人自招」，這是因果相循不變的道理；而佛法所謂「眾生平等」、「眾生皆有佛性」，即是說明世上所有生命皆平等一如，沒有任何優劣、高下之別。所有有情眾生皆有成佛的可能、所有生命都值得被愛惜與保護，這就是尊重生命的基本精神，也是一種最美好的道德情操。

　　本書的原作者乃是清代經學家江慎修居士，是一位博學多聞的大儒者，不但對佛法素有修持，亦有仁民愛物之胸懷。這本約在清康熙年間成書的《放生殺生現報錄》，即是由江慎修居士編著．印光大師鑑定，記載中國歷代以來各地所流傳之放生與殺生現世得報的真實故事，旨在廣勸眾生「戒殺護生、多行善法」。作者編撰著本書，使之流傳廣佈、遺芳後世，即是護生行善的最佳典範，功德無量自不在話下。

　　本書依江慎修居士之原著，分為【放生救物篇】與【殺生惡報篇】。其中前篇又分為延壽、愈疾、免患、得子、得智五種，也就是戒殺護生的五種善行善報；而後篇則分為屠宰、食牛戒牛、暴殄、殘害四種，也就是四種傷生害物的惡行惡果。

　　由於原文乃以文言文撰寫，行文晦澀難懂，故將原文重新白話潤飾並配合插圖。潤飾後的故事沒有艱深的論述，可讀性強，符合現代人的閱讀習慣。其中放生故事，有不少使人溫馨感動，例如：救蟻延年的小沙彌、憐龜卻病的黃叔達、鳥伸冤獄的陸善人等，都具有相當值得學習的護生精神；而殺生故事則警惕世人，例如：嗜肉成豬的南京舉人、膿瘡療饑的杜章、射鹿中子的吳唐等，他們好肉殺生所得的惡果，值得大家引以為鑑。

　　印經協會印贈此書的目的，即是希望透過真實的因果業報故事，讓讀者深入了解為何人人都應該戒殺護生？為何佛教要倡導素食？原來這麼做不但可發展慈悲心，斷除人民心中的貪慾和瞋恚，戒殺護生除了避免與眾生結惡緣，更是為了維護動物生存的權利。

　　凡是有情皆愛惜自己的生命，我們有幸得此人身，更應以無私的慈悲心來對待一切生命。戒殺與護生乃是一種自利利他、為地球帶來幸福與和平的最佳行動；戒殺與護生就是尊重生命、愛護生命與發展慈悲心的最佳體現。只要人人心中有善念，不存傷害他人之心，則能免除世上刀兵劫難，希望讀者皆能從閱讀本書獲得無量利益。 Goode says: "fortune nowhere, but people since the move."
