The Venerable preached the Dharma for the Tiger 尊者為虎說法

Legend has it that a long time ago there was a very respected great practitioner who practiced in seclusion on the mountain! One day when he was meditating under a tree, a tiger suddenly appeared and approached him. At this time, the practitioner knew that something was wrong and yelled at it to stop it! At the same time, he revealed to it: Beast, do you know that you had a human body in your past life? Why have you become a beast now? The tiger lowered his head and remained silent, as if he understood what the practitioner was saying to him! The practitioner said: If you continue to do it again! Will fall into hell! If no good teacher can teach you the Dharma, you will never be reborn! At this time, the tiger seemed to understand the sincere teachings of the practitioner! Nod quietly! Then he accepts the practitioners to take refuge for him and then leaves quietly!

傳說很久以前有一位很受人們尊敬的大修行者在山上閉關修行！有一天他在樹下打坐禪定的時候有一隻猛虎忽然出現向他靠近.這时修行者知道不妙大聲相它喝住！同時向它開示；畜生你可知道過去世你曾擁有人身？如今為何成為畜生？猛虎低頭不語,似乎聽懂修行者在為他說法！修行者說；如果你繼續再犯！將會墮入地獄！再無善知識是向你說法,你將永無超生之日！這时猛虎似乎聽懂修行者的真誠開示 ！靜靜點頭！再接受修行者為他做三皈依之後靜悄悄離去！
