Introduction of two-hour fasting instrument

The "two-hour fasting instrument" in Buddhism, commonly known as "offering sacrifices" and "fasting", is a mantra that monks must recite before breakfast and at noon. The reason why monks recite these sacrificial mantras in the morning and noon is because the Buddha said that family members can eat in the morning and noon, and monks are not allowed to eat at this time when hungry ghosts eat at night. Because hungry people have no food to eat, if monks fast at night, the sound of bowls and chopsticks at dinner will make hungry people hate each other and aggravate their sins. Therefore, Buddha left his family without food after noon. Monks don't eat at night to pity hungry ghosts and cultivate compassion. However, since Buddhism was introduced to China, many jungles have adopted the lifestyle of "paying equal attention to agriculture and Zen" and advocated the fine Buddhist tradition of "not doing anything for one day". If monks only eat two meals, they will consume too much physical strength, which is not conducive to their health. Therefore, many monasteries allow monks to have dinner, but they must be ashamed to regard dinner as a "medicine stone", that is, a medicine used to prolong life, and ask monks not to distinguish the taste. So, I don't look at the words of support at dinner.
