想辦素食婚宴卻因緣不具足，怎麼辦？

問：想辦素食婚宴，可是父母親友的因緣難以成就，十分苦惱，請問該怎麼辦？

答：現在在漢地，辦喜事和喪事的時候，殺業都特別重，這也是非常嚴重的一種罪業。但是現在，都要改成素食的話，那是有一定的困難。等有一天都能改成素食，這應該是個非常好的事，但是目前這個機緣不成熟，有一定的困難，這樣的話，也沒有辦法。

但是，我覺得這個機緣也快了。因為十年前，我剛到漢地的時候，漢地信佛學佛的人特別少，有一些信佛學佛的，都要偷偷的，但是那個時候我就想過，將來肯定佛法會很發達，會有很多信佛學佛的人。因為我們佛教的四大名山都在漢地，還有整個歷史都離不開佛教。那個時候，到一些旅遊的地方也是，都有寺院，那些道友他們也在講解很多佛法里的故事，在介紹的過程當中，講一些佛理。這些肯定會有一些影響力，信佛學佛的人肯定會越來越多。這是我十年前想的，那個時候我就想過。現在漢地信佛的人越來越多了，學佛的人也越來越多了。在漢地，佛法非常發達，然後再這樣發展下去，不要太長的時間，很快就能實現這樣美好的願望。這個是沒有問題的。

但是現在機緣還沒到，我們也不能太執著，不能因此讓自己煩惱。「佛渡有緣人」，我們是要廣度眾生，要盡自己的力量去度眾生，但是這個也是要靠機緣的。機緣不成熟，這個時候你去執著這些的話，也是一種障礙，也是一種過失，所以不要因此而煩惱，慢慢來，會有這樣的一天。

Q: I』d like to hold a vegetarian wedding feast, however, it』s not possible because of the karma of our family and friends. I』m very annoyed. What should I do?

A: Nowadays in Han Region, the killing is particularly serious when holding wedding or funeral, which is a very serious sin. However, there is certain difficulty to change to vegetarian totally now. It』s good if people can have vegetarian food someday, but currently, the cause and condition is not mature and there are some difficulties, thus we can do nothing for them.

But I think the cause and condition will mature soon. As ten years ago when I just arrived in Han Region, only a little people believed in or learned Buddhism, and some buddhists studied secretly. By that time, I thought Buddhism would be widely spread and there would be a lot of people believing in and learning Buddhism in the future. This is because the four famous Buddhism mountains are all located in Han Region, and the whole history cannot be separated from Buddhism. At that time, there are monasteries in tourist resorts. The Buddhists told a lot of Buddhism stories and talked about some truths during introduction. These had made some influences, the number of people who believe in and study Buddhism would be more and more. This was my thought about ten years ago, I thought about it by that time. Nowadays, in Han Region, there are more and more people who believe in Buddhism and learn Buddhism. In Han Region, Buddhism is really widely spread. If it keeps developing in this way, the good wish will become true in near future. This is for sure.

While the cause and condition is not mature now, we cannot be too persistent on it, nor can we feel annoyed from it. 「Buddha salvages the one who has karmic connection with him」, we should help all sentient beings by our efforts as we can, but it also depends on cause and condition. If it』s not the time, it』s also an obstacle as well as a fault if you cling on it. Therefore, don』t feel annoyed, take it easy, it will come true one day.
