Why are monks vegetarian?

Question 1: Why do monks eat vegetarian food? Monks can eat meat. The Buddhist sutra "Guang Jie Jing" makes it very clear that there is no vegetarian rule in Buddhism. Buddhists are forbidden to eat "meat". This kind of meat is not our current concept, but refers to animal food such as chicken, duck and fish. The meat we are talking about now is called "fishy" in Buddhism, not "meat". The word hun is not pronounced in Buddhist scriptures, but should be pronounced smoked, which means smoked vegetables. Meat stinks of vegetables. The Brahma Sutra is more specific: "If the Buddha is not allowed to eat five spices. Garlic, onion, scallion, scallion and apricot koji are five kinds of vegetables. The word "meat" comes from grass head rather than meat, which shows that the original meaning of meat is plants rather than animals. As for why meat changed from a plant to an animal, it is unclear in a few words, and I will introduce it separately later. Buddhism believes that eating meat dissipates popularity, destroys sincerity and is difficult to communicate with gods, so it is strictly forbidden. I went to the temple twice to eat vegetarian dishes and saw onions and garlic in the dishes. It can be seen that the monks in the temple have not yet understood the Buddhist scriptures. So many fasts are for nothing.

Whether a monk can eat meat or not is treated separately according to different situations, without generalizing. Buddhism is divided into Mahayana and Hinayana. Mahayana is a means to measure people wholeheartedly, so you can't eat any meat. Self-sufficient but not self-sufficient Hinayana people are allowed to eat three kinds of "clean meat" ("three clean meat" means "I can't see the killer; Second, I don't smell the murderer for me; Three suspects who kill people without paying for their lives "). For "sick monks", that is, sick monks, all kinds of meat can be eaten by implementing humanitarian policies and special care. Now, foreign monks from Indian and Sri Lankan countries, as well as monks from Mongolian, Tibetan, Dai and other ethnic minorities in China are allowed to eat meat.

When Buddhism was introduced into China, it was too late to form the characteristics of China. So monks could still eat meat at that time. Monks are not allowed to eat meat, which was first proposed by Xiao Yan, the Emperor of A Liang in the Southern Dynasties, more than 400 years ago.

In the history of China, Xiao Yan can be regarded as the most lovely emperor. He believes in Buddhism and calls himself a "Sambo slave". I want to become a monk, and I think it's crazy. Unexpectedly, he left his post four times, ran to Tongtai Temple, gave his body to the temple and became a monk. An emperor gave up all his legitimate rights and interests, even his body, and became the temple property of Tongtai Temple. Of course, he will no longer run the court. But at that time, there was no deputy emperor who could act as the emperor's authority according to law when the emperor could not perform his duties. At that time, there was no temporarily appointed deputy cadre, and no one could be emperor unless Xiao Yan died. "A country can't live without a monarch for a day", and things are simply troublesome. I don't know how many conferences and meetings have been held and how many urgent consultations have been held. The only way to discuss and study is to redeem the emperor. So he immediately raised cash from the state treasury and asked Tongtai Temple to discuss the purchase. Tongtai Temple is profitable and certainly cooperates. Finally, according to the principle of market economy, Xiao Yan was repurchased through equivalent exchange. Immediately restore his personal status and let him continue to hold leadership positions. Xiao Yanyi gave his life, but the level was too high, and he still couldn't control himself. Time and again to generate income is beneficial to Tongtai Temple. If Xiao Yan is not infinitely loyal to the Buddhist cause, if others do so, it can only be regarded as a kickback.

Xiao Yan couldn't put down a volume of Nirvana Sutra, which he knew by heart. Scripture stipulates: "Do not kill". ZSZSZSZ thought, learn to use it, just don't eat meat! You can't eat meat. What's the use of watching you kill people? Once a decision is made, act immediately. Urgent message: Subjects advocate vegetarianism. Monks are not allowed to eat meat. The ancestors of the god of heaven and earth enjoyed the treatment of monks. What is monk treatment? That is, the ancestors who sacrificed to the gods of heaven and earth were not allowed to use three pig heads, all of which were replaced by pig heads made of flour. As soon as the golden mouth is opened, there is no argument. For a time, vegetarians "registered in the world, and a small part went to half."

It can be seen that monks are not allowed to eat meat, which is a rule completely evolved by ZSZSZSZ from the viewpoint of "no killing".

Question 2: Why should monks be vegetarian? Because of the advocacy of Liang Wudi in the Southern Dynasties, monks must be vegetarian, which is one of the characteristics of Buddhism in China. Monks in Southeast Asia are not allowed to kill, and there is no commandment that they must be vegetarian.

Tibetan Buddhist monks have the habit of eating meat, except for some eminent monks who swear not to eat meat for life.

Question 3: Why do monks have to eat vegetarian dishes? As far as Chinese medicine is concerned, vegetarianism can open the pulse, reduce desire and make people live longer and healthier.

In the view of western medicine, amino acids contained in meat are not necessary for human body, but eating meat will hinder the absorption of nutrients.

Causally speaking, eating meat is equal to pleasure and killing, and you will get bad karma.

From the heart, eating meat will increase the suffering of all beings, which is merciless.

Question 4: Why do monks eat quickly? Whether a monk can eat meat or not is treated separately according to different situations, without generalizing.

Vegetarianism has existed since ancient times, and it was very popular before Buddhism was introduced to China. In ancient times, vegetarianism was not because the economy was backward and there was no meat to eat. We had to wrap our stomachs with melons and vegetables. However, at that time, the concept of "nourishing, helping, benefiting and supplementing" appeared, and it was advocated that "five grains are nourishing and five fruits are helping". This is recorded in detail in the earliest medical classic Huangdi Neijing. But the main reason is the influence of Laozi and Zhuangzi's philosophy of "governing by doing nothing". A large number of recluse scholars advocate nature, and think that eating meat makes people angry, and vegetarianism makes people angry. Pursue clean air and vigorously pursue the principle of vegetarianism.

Vegetarianism is a good thing. But when it developed, it was possessed. Obviously, nothing should go too far. It is recorded in Hanshu that there was a man named Zhou Ze, who was a vegetarian and fell ill due to malnutrition. His wife blamed him for torturing himself like this. Hearing this, Zhou Ze flew into a rage. Immediately, he sent his wife to prison on charges of "violating the fasting ban". This was a big crime at that time, but now it is probably similar to "seriously undermining social order". As for "confinement, I don't want to", I'm going to kill my head. What is the crime of confinement? You'll never guess without detailed research. It's actually quite funny, but I accidentally farted when I was a vegetarian. I'm afraid no one expected to be beheaded for farting.

The fine tradition of vegetarianism was later taken away by Buddhism introduced from abroad.

If it weren't for Xiao, he would be infinitely loyal to the cause of Buddhism >>

Question 5: Why are only China monks vegetarian and China monks vegetarian? China has a long history of vegetarianism and exquisite culinary arts, but monks from Thailand, Japan, South Korea, * * * lamas, Hinayana, Mahayana and even tantric countries are all vegetarians! ? What the hell is going on?

I wonder if readers remember that there is an unprecedented record in history that an emperor gave his life into the temple and became a monk three times, and was finally redeemed by his officials with money? Yes, he is the South Liang Wudi-Xiao Yan who made China monks stick to vegetarianism. The debate about vegetarianism mainly comes from Buddhist scriptures, in which there are the "nonsense" theory of allowing three kinds of meat and the "nonsense" theory of breaking meat.

Because low standards and high standards will lead to two diametrically opposite results, namely, meat and vegetarian, before Liang Wudi, monks were allowed to freely evaluate their evidence, and they selectively followed the provisions of the Mahayana classic, not the law. However, Emperor Wudi was well versed in Buddhism and really understood the main points of Mahayana Buddhism. Therefore, he not only issued the imperial edict of "killing the ancestral temple for sacrifice", but also prohibited the imperial doctor from taking the measure of "combining raw materials with drugs". A more historic move is that Liang Wudi set an example, with the king's law as the backing, and enforced it.

To this end, Liang Wudi personally wrote an article; "Break the wine and meat", the announcement explains this historic move.

In the article "Breaking Wine and Meat", Liang Wudi not only quoted Mahayana classics such as Mahayana Sutra, Cold Cangue Sutra and Central Digging Magic Compass, but also listed various reasons in detail to fully persuade monks to obey.

There are nine reasons why monks are "inferior to heretics", but first-class Buddhism needs first-class talents. It would be disappointing to compare with pagans.

Second, monks keep drinking and eating meat, and there are nine kinds of suspects who are not as good as lay people at home. Monk Bao wants to lead a group of people and gain the trust of the public. How can it be worse than staying at home

Third, monks eat meat, and there are 46 obstacles to practice, such as staying away from the sound and smell method, Buddhism, bodhisattva and Buddha fruit.

4. Monks who eat meat will plant 1 16 kinds of evil causes, such as evil deeds, hell species and terror species.

5. If you believe what the Buddha said is true? You can't see clearly and think deeply because you haven't got the truth yet. All living things were destined to have families in the past. Once the meat is eaten, there will be close relatives who become enemies.

Six, n eating sentient beings, it is difficult to have two obstacles, translated into vernacular Chinese is "ignorance and ignorance" and "becoming stupid." The obstacle is on the road of spiritual practice, and it is easy to go astray. Of course, the wise Liang Wudi not only has profound intentions, but also understands that good intentions may not have a good response, and the implementation of the new creed will definitely cause some rebound. So he simply set an example and swore that if he couldn't do that, "I wish all things had powerful ghosts and gods, and treated Xiao Yan badly first, and then paid all kinds of hardships in Yan Luowang and hell, and even all beings became Buddhas. Disciple Xiao Yan is still in A Bi Hell. " Cool enough!

Instead of becoming a monk, the emperor swore a poisonous oath to ensure that he would abide by the creed of becoming a monk. The publication of this article on breaking wine and meat is tantamount to forcibly removing monks and nuns with bad conduct and continuing the life of Buddhist wisdom. However, in order to gain the recognition of all monks and nuns, Liang Wudi then invited 198 monks and nuns to hold a seminar at the court. Discussion on the Controversy of "There is no law to break meat and the law to eat meat by confession"

Liang Wudi's Buddhism raised 50 questions profoundly and thoughtfully, and with the answers of three lawyers, he could distinguish all kinds of wrong opinions.

To sum up, the three lean meats are gradually taught. If understood correctly, Buddhism is not allowed to eat meat. That is to say, as soon as Li Genren hears that three classics of meat can't teach benevolence and righteousness, he will extrapolate and know what it means not to eat meat, while those who are deeply rooted will have to wait for good knowledge to further explain it, or, like Liang Wudi, he must take Wang Fa as a tool for drinking heavily.

Question 6: Why do monks only eat vegetarian food, which does not affect the normal function of the body, and some people are even very fat? China people, who always pay attention to diet, pay more attention to vegetarian food, fruit and light food with the improvement of living standards. Many big cities, such as Beijing, Chengdu, Guangzhou, Harbin, Shanghai, Xi and Hangzhou, have opened vegetarian restaurants and restaurants, and their business is booming.

Very long. Vegetarianism has been popular in western developed countries for many years. Long-term research in the scientific and medical fields has confirmed that vegetarianism is of great benefit to human health. Some experts pointed out that this century is a vegetarian era that advocates nature, health and practices human environmental protection.

A light and simple diet can reduce the incidence of diseases. It has always been thought that carnivores are fierce and strong, so it is beneficial to infer that people eat more meat. In fact, this is a big misunderstanding. The ancients said: if you want to live forever, your intestines should be clear. Experts point out that the intestines of animals are very short, and the absorption and excretion cycle after eating meat is also very short. However, the human intestine is much longer than that of animals, and the waste after eating meat cannot be discharged in a short time, which may pollute the internal organs and cause diseases. Eating more meat will cause blood acidity. According to clinical observation, 70% of human diseases occur in acidic constitution, such as hypertension, heart disease and stroke. After studying the food composition of seven countries, scientists found that the countries with the highest meat consumption had the highest coronary heart disease and mortality, while vegetarians had relatively low coronary heart disease and mortality.

Huangdi Neijing said: "The change of paste beam is full of boils, which means that people who eat fishy paste beam for a long time are enough to have big boils on their bodies. It's as easy as taking an empty container to accept something. Experts generally believe that vegetarian food is nutritious, delicious, clean and hygienic, which helps to reduce the blood lipid content of human body and avoid pathological changes caused by improper meat cooking. Vegetarians live longer and have fewer diseases, which is the inevitable result. An investigation report shows that 100 vegetarians and 100 meat eaters in Shanghai and Suzhou were examined by three departments of Shanghai Eighth Five-Year Hospital in September 1985. As a result, the blood viscosity of meat eaters is much higher than that of vegetarians. 100 vegetarians, only 18 people suffer from cardiovascular diseases, but there are 67 vegetarians and 57 vegetarians are disease-free. As we all know, high blood viscosity is the cause of coronary heart disease and various chronic diseases.

Therefore, vegetarianism has the following effects on human health: First, it can prevent hypertension. Some people have checked the blood pressure of most vegetarian Mormons and found that their blood pressure is 4-5 degrees lower than that of meat eaters. After some people stop eating meat for a few months, their blood pressure will drop slightly by 3 degrees, but if they resume eating meat, their blood pressure will return to its original state within a few weeks. Second, it can lower cholesterol. Vegetarian food contains less cholesterol than meat food, while vegan food contains no cholesterol at all. The blood cholesterol content of vegetarians is lower than that of ordinary people, while vegan is the lowest. Harvard Medical School once did an experiment about vegetarianism. If vegetarians eat half a pound of beef every day, their cholesterol will increase by 19% and their pulse will accelerate. When the experiment ends and they return to vegetarian diet, their cholesterol will return to its original state within 10 to 14 days. After a follow-up survey of subjects in British medical field 1 100, it is found that heart disease can be effectively prevented if cholesterol and blood pressure are properly controlled, and the incidence of heart disease in vegetarians is much lower than that in meat eaters. Third, vegetarians are not prone to cancer. Scientists have confirmed that all kinds of cancers are related to diet structure. Long-term high-fat diet can promote thymus atrophy and inhibit the immune function of lymphocytes. People's continuous intake of high-fat food will only increase the incidence and mortality of breast cancer, intestinal cancer and prostate cancer, and vegetables and fruits contain inexhaustible anti-cancer factors. Scientists have found that the number of people suffering from cancer in Shanghai is four to seven times higher than that in China, which is probably directly related to the high-fat diet of Americans. Fourth, being a vegetarian is not easy to suffer from gallstones. Medical experts from Oxford University in England conducted experiments on 700 vegetarian women, and the conclusions are as follows: their probability of suffering from gallstones is only half that of the general population; Fifth, vegetarians are not prone to diabetes. Relevant research reports point out that meat or fat can interfere with insulin metabolism, so vegetarians are not easy to get diabetes. A survey of 25,000 experimenters for 2 1 year has completely confirmed this point. Sixth, vegetarians are not easy to suffer from osteoporosis ...

Question 7: Why does Buddhism advocate vegetarianism? Whether meat is acceptable or not should be treated separately according to different situations, without generalizing.

Question 9: Why are Buddhist believers in China vegetarian? Brother, it doesn't matter what you eat if you reach the touch of colorless sound and fragrance. Because in your eyes, everything makes no difference, and meat is no longer meat. Killing is beyond. If you don't reach this level, you will be guilty and punished. I don't know if my answer is right for the first time. Please forgive me.

Question 10: Why are monks vegetarian? That's an ancient thing. Li Shimin broke the precepts and could eat meat.
