Others are related to fasting.

Paying attention to the piety and purity of the soul, form is often secondary. First, preparation: First of all, on the first day before going to a Taoist temple or temple, you should fast and take a bath. The emphasis here is to try our best to avoid five evils. You can prepare incense, flowers, fruits, water, lamps and other items needed for the "Five Sacrifices". Don't make noise when entering a Taoist temple or temple. You should enter from both sides, not from the middle, you can't get in the way. Generally, it is better to enter from the left. If you enter from the left, cross the threshold with your left leg, and if you enter from the right, cross the threshold with your right leg. Second, offerings: First, offering incense: offering incense is to convey the voice of believers through incense and is a tribute to saints. It is inevitable to enter Taoist temples or temples to offer incense. As the saying goes, "a pillar is really fragrant, and the sacred height is really blessed." After the incense is lit, if there is a flame, you can't blow it out with your mouth, you can only fan it with your hand or shake it gently. Give three fragrant flowers to the main hall first, one fragrant flower to the ground outside the hall, and the rest can be placed in the incense burner outside the hall. There is an incinerator next to the incense burner, which can burn yellow paper and other sacrifices. After burning incense, you can set off firecrackers. Be safe! 2. Sacrifice: After entering the main hall, the sages offer sacrifices. When you worship, you can gently burn incense with your hands. You can worship with a pious heart and think nothing. Of course, if you have something to pray for, you can also make a wish silently and communicate with the gods through your heart. Third, fruit worship: the emphasis on fruit worship is not very complicated, but it emphasizes the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. At present, as long as it is new fruit, just wash it and dry it. Generally, a plate contains five fruits, not half. Appropriate use of round fruit, representing perfection.

It should be noted that there are the following kinds of fruits that are not suitable for offering sacrifices: plums, because the surname of Taishang Laojun is Li, which is taboo; Pomegranate, because pomegranate cubs have to go through the sidewalk to take root and sprout, is suspected of blasphemy; Pear means separation and is generally not offered; Black dates cannot be used for immortals. Some people say that eating fast is not good, and you should be fooled alive. What do you mean? Because vegetarian food is not as delicious as meat, it is said to be fooled alive. However, if you don't eat fast, you will be fooled if you die. Just like a scale, which side is heavy and which side is light, you can study it yourself.

Why do you say eating meat is a dead fool? No matter what you eat, you have that ingredient in your body. When eating vegetables, there is a smell of vegetables; When you eat onions, it smells like onions; When you eat milk, it smells like milk; When you eat cheese, you will smell it; Eating garlic smells like garlic. Because what you eat will be integrated with you and become a part of you. What kind of food do you eat? If you eat too much, your body will become like it. So eating more pork will turn you into a pig; If you eat too much beef, you will become a cow. This is scientific and logical. Your body and meat become partners; It will become that thing after death. For example, if you smell like a pig after you die, Yan Luowang will pout and say, "You stink, you'd better be a pig." Sheep, cows, chickens and dogs are all the same. So I was fooled after I died.

If you study it carefully, people who kill pigs have the same eyes as pigs. Why? He was killed many times, and now he comes back for revenge, but his eyes are still like pig's eyes. The eyes of those who kill cows are like those of cows. Actually, cause and effect are not happy at all. Therefore, the cloud:

"For thousands of years, a bowl of soup is filled with resentment as deep as the sea.

If you want to know about the sword robbery in the world, listen carefully to the midnight sound of killing men. "

The resentment hidden in a bowl of broth is as deep as the sea and inexhaustible. You should know why there are wars and killings in the world. For example, when two countries fight, casualties are priceless. This is the evil karma of all beings, and it will be rewarded at the same time. If you can listen carefully to the piercing cries in the slaughterhouse at night, you should understand the horror of killing.

Of course, there is another interpretation, where human beings can relax and nourish their internal and external organs accordingly, thus achieving the functions of self-cultivation and meditation.

At present, scientific research shows that the more meat people eat, the more likely they are to get cancer. This is because animal grievances accumulate on you, which will become harmful toxins over time. Therefore, it is necessary to sever the cause and effect with all living beings and not take cattle, sheep, chickens and dogs as crimes. You can slowly transform the evil spirits in the world.
