Nothing Born, Nothing Dying
From
the intrinsic standpoint—one of body, of Buddha-nature—non-killing
means that there is nothing being born and nothing dying. The very
notions of 'birth' and 'death' are extra. Life does not divide up into
things to be killed or not killed; it is just this one body, constantly
changing.
