As a disciple of the Buddha, how to face the flesh?
Amitabha! Brothers, good luck! Many brothers who study Buddhism have different views on eating meat, or have different understandings on not eating meat. However, since we are all studying Buddhism, we should take Buddhism as our teacher and follow its teachings. Although the Buddha is gone now, the Buddhist scriptures are still there. We must take the Buddhist scriptures as our guide to practice Buddhism, not our own subjective views and opinions. There are two kinds of Buddhist scriptures: orthodox and non-orthodox. Because the roots, karma and good roots in the past are different, the Buddha has different views. In some classics, the Buddha allowed his disciples to eat meat, while in others, he allowed them not to eat meat. This is not a contradiction between the opinions of Buddhists, but a different way that Buddhists say to all beings with different roots, with the aim of relieving pain and enjoying the fruits of Buddhism. In the classics that cannot be corrected, the Buddha is allowed to eat Sanjing meat, but in the classics that have been corrected, such as Shurangama Sutra, Nirvana Sutra and Shurangama Sutra, the Buddha is not allowed to eat meat. So what kind of classics should we Buddhist disciples follow? On the verge of nirvana, the Buddha said that the future disciples of Buddhism should follow the four laws, namely, "law does not depend on people, righteousness does not depend on words, wisdom does not depend on knowledge, and righteousness does not depend on righteousness", so it depends on righteousness. At the end of the school, I extracted some revelations from the Buddha: the fourth Buddha in the Shurangama Sutra Amitabha tells about great wisdom. You shouldn't eat meat for infinite reasons. But I should speak for you today. All sentient beings come from the source. The cause of the exhibition is often the six parents. You shouldn't eat meat because you care about your relatives. Donkeys, mules, camels, foxes, cows, horses, people and animals. Slaughterers shouldn't eat meat because they sell groceries. Impure gas is increasing, so it is not suitable to eat meat. All living things smell terror. Like Chandra and Tampa. Dogs shouldn't eat meat because they hate barking in fear. It also makes practitioners merciful and should not eat meat. A fool should not eat meat, because he is addicted to filth and has no good reputation. You shouldn't eat meat because the spell doesn't work. You shouldn't eat meat, because you know from the shape of the killer. People who eat meat should not eat meat, because he was abandoned by heaven. You shouldn't eat meat because your breath stinks. It's a nightmare, so you shouldn't eat meat. Tigers and wolves in the forest shouldn't eat meat, because they smell good. You shouldn't eat meat because you don't eat properly. So that practitioners don't get bored and leave home and don't eat meat. I always talk. If you want to take medicine, you should not eat meat. It's no use listening to predators. Great wisdom again. There used to be Sue, Wang's son. Eating all kinds of meat will lead to cannibalism. The subjects can't stand it, even if they rebel and break their promises. People who eat meat are like fools and should not eat meat any more. All killers kill butchers for money. They are stupid carnivores. Catch meat with money as a net. He kills the living. If you use property, if you use hook nets. Take him to clear the water and land. All kinds of killing butchers for profit. Dahui It is also true that there are fish that want nothing. Therefore, you shouldn't eat meat. Dahui I sometimes say it covers five kinds of meat. Or do ten kinds. Today, after everything. It is convenient to dismiss everything. Dahui Enlightenment without food, Tathagata confession. Eat fish. I don't teach. March forward with great sorrow. Respect all sentient beings. Like a son. When the four phases of the Great Nirvana Sutra are broken, the Bodhisattva Bai Buddha said,' Buddha! People who eat meat should not give meat. Why? I think people who don't eat meat have great merits. "The Buddha praised Ye Jia:' Good is good! You can know what I mean now, and so should the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Good job! From today on, I won't listen to my disciples eating meat. If you are trusted by Tan Yue, you should consider eating meat like a child. "The Ye Jia Bodhisattva answered the Buddha's words:' Buddha! Why doesn't Yun Tathagata listen to predators?' Good job! If a man eats meat, he will cut off his great kindness. Ye Jia added, "Why did you listen to the monk eat three meats first?" "Ye Jia! It's three kinds of clean meat, made gradually. "The Ye Jia Bodhisattva answered the Buddha's words:' Buddha! Why not listen to ten kinds of impurity, or even nine kinds of purity? "The Buddha told Ye Jia:' This is also due to the gradual progress of things. When we know it, we will break the meat immediately. Bodhisattva Ye Jia replied to the Buddha:' Why does the Buddha praise fish as delicious food? Good job! I didn't say fish was delicious either. I said sugar cane, japonica rice, stone honey, all grains, black stone honey, cheese and ghee are delicacies. Although all kinds of clothes should be worn by livestock, the colors of clothes worn by livestock are not good, not to mention the fishy smell. Ye Jia said, "People who don't eat meat will have five flavors: cheese, buttermilk, raw crisp, cooked crisp and sesame oil, as well as clothes, brocade, scallops, leather and gold and silver bowls." Good job! It should be no different from what Pini saw. All the prohibitions formulated by Tathagata have different meanings. Listen to three kinds of clean meat with different meanings; Empathy, breaking ten kinds of meat; Empathy, everything is broken and dies. Ye Jia! From now on, I will discipline my disciples and stop eating all the meat. Ye Jia! Its carnivores, if they walk, if they live, if they sit, if they lie down, all creatures will smell their meat and feel terrible. For example, if someone approaches a lion, everyone will see it, and it will be horrible to smell the lion. Good job! If people spit garlic, it stinks and stinks, others will give it up when they see it and smell it. People who set a vision still don't want to see it, so the situation should be close. So do all carnivores. When all sentient beings smell its meat, they are all frightened and afraid of death. Land, water and air all have lives. They left after knowing that this man was the one we complained about. Therefore, Bodhisattva is not used to eating meat, but to show that she eats meat for all beings. Although she eats now, she doesn't actually eat. Good job! If you are a bodhisattva and still eat unclean food, how can you eat meat? Good job! I was a hundred years old after nirvana, and the four sages learned that I was reborn. After the extinction of Buddhism, as in Dharma, when there were monks, they were plain-looking, read less scriptures, were greedy for health, and their bodies were rough and ugly, gaunt and without weeds. Cattle, sheep and cattle are grazing, so just pay attention to the grass. Although I take the cassock, I look down on Xu Xing, like a cat and other mice, and often sing: I have arhat. There are many diseases, such as sleeping in shit, virtue on the outside and jealousy on the inside, such as dumb Brahman. It is not a shaman, but a statue of a shaman. Jaken made waves and slandered Buddhism. If so, such a person has broken the precepts set by the Tathagata, behaved dignified, talked about liberation, left the purification method and taught a very bad secret. Everyone is free, talking about dharma, but saying: Tathagata listens to us eat meat. This statement is self-generated, and the word is Buddha's word, which tells each other, and each is called Saman Shizi. Good job! There were shamans at that time. Gather in the valley, take fish, help yourself with food, take oil bottles, caps and leather. Be close to kings, ministers and elders, take care of the stars, be diligent in practicing medicine, raise handmaiden, gold and silver colored glass, agate in the car canal, glass pearls, coral tigers, jade sticks, all kinds of fruits and vegetables. Learn all kinds of geisha skills, paint with clay, make teaching books, plant roots, cast spells, combine various drugs, advocate geisha music, use Koge to cure the body, praise Go, and learn all kinds of skills. If a monk can get rid of such evil deeds, he should be said to be a disciple of man himself! "At that time, Ye Jia replied to the Buddha's words:' Dear Sir! Monks, monks, nuns, excellent women, excellent women live because of him. If they beg for food, they will get mixed meat. How can they get food? Should they be clean? "The Buddha said,' Ye Jia! When washing with water, make it look different from meat, and then eat it. If the vessel is stained with meat and tasteless, it is not guilty. If you see a lot of meat in your food, you shouldn't accept it. You shouldn't eat all the meat now, people who eat it will be offended. "The Ye Jia Bodhisattva said to the Buddha,' Buddha! People who eat meat should not be given meat. Why? Because not eating meat has great merit. "The Buddha praised Ye Jia Bodhisattva and said," Very good! You really know the mind of the Tathagata. All bodhisattvas who protect Buddhism should be like you. Good job! From today on, I am not allowed to hear about disciples eating meat again. When accepting food from believers, you should think that food is like the meat of your own children. Bodhisattva Ye Jia asked the Buddha again, "Dear Sir! Why don't you allow your disciples to eat meat?' The Buddha replied, "Because eating meat will break the seeds of compassion." Ye Jia also said,' Tathagata, why do you let monks eat three kinds of clean meat, without killing, without the smell of killing, and without suspicion of killing?' The Buddha replied, "These three kinds of clean meat are gradually prepared for different reasons." Ye Jia asked the Buddha again,' Why can't ten kinds of unclean meat and nine kinds of clean meat be eaten? The Buddha told Bodhisattva Ye Jia: "It is also gradually formed with different things. You know, when you made these commandments, you made it clear that you should not eat meat. "The Ye Jia Bodhisattva also said to the Buddha,' Why does the Tathagata praise fish and meat as delicious food?' The Buddha replied:' Good man! I never said that fish and meat are delicious food. I said sugar cane, brown rice and honey, as well as all grains, brown sugar, cheese and ghee are delicious dishes. Although clothes should be prepared for various occasions, the color of each kind of clothes must be dark, not too bright. How can you eat fish and meat if you don't pay attention to your clothes? Ye Jia also said:' If it is forbidden to eat meat, you should not eat five kinds of food, such as cheese, buttermilk, raw crisp, cooked crisp and sesame oil, and you should not accept all kinds of clothes, silk clothes, jade articles, leather and gold and silver vessels. Buddha said:' Good people! Your opinion should not be like Nizi's naked heresy, so making all the commandments has different meanings. Because of the different meanings, three kinds of clean meat were allowed before, and ten kinds of unclean meat such as cattle and horses were not allowed. Now the meaning is different, the karma is ripe, Ye Jia! From today on, it is stipulated that disciples are not allowed to eat all kinds of meat, regardless of homicide or natural death. Ye Jia! People who eat meat, when they live, sit and lie down in their daily lives, all beings will be frightened when they smell him. Just like when someone approaches a lion, he smells like a lion. Others will have a horrible heart when they meet this person and smell the lion. Good job! It's like someone eating garlic. It smells. Others smelled it and immediately dodged. When they smell it far away, they don't want to see it, let alone get near it. So do people who eat meat. When all living things smell his breath, they will feel fear of death. No matter what animals fly in the sky, swim in the water and walk on land, they all think this carnivore is their enemy. Therefore, Bodhisattva has no habit of eating meat. In order to humanize all beings, he showed that he ate meat. Although he said he ate meat, he didn't really eat it. Good job! Bodhisattva doesn't even eat clean food, let alone meat! Good job! After many years of my nirvana, the four fruit saints also entered nirvana. After the extinction of Buddhism, there will be monks in Buddhism, who seem to keep precepts, do not read scriptures, and are gluttonous for health. Wearing ugly clothes, looking haggard and lacking dignity. Cutting wood and grass, raising cattle and sheep, with hair and beard, long and pointed nails. Although wearing a cassock, he walks like a hunter and looks around like a cat looking for a mouse. I often say: I have the Arhat Road. I am sick and sleep in a dirty place. I look like a noble person, but my heart is full of greed and jealousy, like a pagan who is forbidden to speak. He is a monk, but not a yogi. He knew Jaken was evil and slandered Buddhism. Such people destroy the precepts and dignity formulated by the Tathagata, saying that if they deviate from the purification law, they can also be freed and corrupt the profound and supreme teachings of the Tathagata. Interpreting the scriptures upside down and saying that the Tathagata let us eat meat is actually nonsense, saying that it is the teachings of the Buddha. Arguing with each other, everyone thought he was a real monk. Good job! At that time, there were more monks, storing food, accepting fish and other support, and cooking with oil bottles. Wearing a crown and shoes is closely related to the king's ministers and famous families. See divination, astronomical astrology, geography and geomantic omen, practice medicine diligently and raise handmaiden. Collect gold, silver, colored glass, agate, glass pearls, coral tiger beads, jade shellfish, plant crops such as fruits and vegetables, and learn geisha such as painting and sculpture. Or write a book to teach and publicize your own theory; Or plant flowers and trees to nourish the mood; Or use magic to harm others and yourself. Or mix all kinds of drugs, compose music, wear fragrant flowers, wear perfume, gamble and play chess, and learn all kinds of tricks. If a monk can stay away from all the evil things mentioned above, he is my true disciple. "Ye Jia also told the Buddha:' Buddha! Four disciples, namely, bhikkhu, bhikkhu, bhikkhu, bhikkhu, bhikkhu, bhikkhu, bhikkhu, bhikkhu, bhikkhu, bhikkhu, bhikkhu, bhikkhu, bhikkhu, bhikkhu, bhikkhu, bhikkhu, bhikkhu, bhikkhu, bhikkhu. If the bowl is contaminated by the smell of meat, wash off the smell with water before filling the food with water. When you see that there is a lot of meat in the food given, you should not accept support. If you accept it, it's a violation. "————————————————————————————————————————————————— From the enlightenment of the Buddha above, the Buddha has always hoped that all his disciples would not eat meat. We Buddhist disciples should repay the kindness of the Buddha, and in order to achieve the supreme bodhi at an early date, we should abstain from being vegetarian. Some senior brothers may think that some animals die naturally or the meat is pure meat, so we should have no problem eating it, as long as we have compassion. Actually, this is delusional inversion. In chapter forty-two, the Buddha said, "Be careful not to believe your intentions, your intentions are not credible", which means that an ordinary person should not believe his own meaning, because an ordinary person is full of upside-down delusions, how can he believe himself! When can I believe in myself? At least you have to prove the status of Siraitia grosvenorii. In the classic, the Buddha said very clearly, "The breath that all beings smell is born with terror. Such as Chandra and Tambo. " After eating meat, our bodies will have a smell, which will make all living things horrible and disgusting. The dharma gods will leave, but they will attract some evil spirits who like to eat meat. If this continues, it will gradually disappear, and the loss will outweigh the gain! Besides, while eating the meat of all beings, it makes sense to say compassion! We are just ordinary people, not saints. Isn't this a lie to Buddha and Bodhisattva? Third, although some sentient beings are dead and their bodies are cut into small pieces or even cooked, they are still clinging to their bodies, and the gods have not left their bodies. If we eat its meat, it will still feel pain. At this time, it is easy for us to have bad karma with all sentient beings, and this bad karma is easy to bear the consequences. Can this go unnoticed? Therefore, as disciples of Buddhism, we should understand from this fundamental truth that we should be vegetarian, and we should make vows to be vegetarian. However, because we are all disciples of Buddhists at home, it is inevitable that living environment, living habits and other factors make it difficult to cut meat. Buddha is compassionate and reasonable, so if the conditions are not enough, he can eat three golden meats first, but he decides to stop killing. Some brothers may be eating Sanjin meat, some brothers are eating meat with side dishes, some brothers are vegetarian, and some brothers stop eating after noon. This is very commendable, because we all do our best under our own specific environmental conditions. You can't affect family harmony and cause trouble to other sentient beings because you are a vegetarian unilaterally. However, we must work towards a completely vegetarian diet. The key is to persist in hard training, improve Ford's wisdom and eliminate unfavorable karma. Then a complete vegetarian diet is a natural thing. The Buddha said to the Great Wisdom Bodhisattva,' There are many reasons why you shouldn't eat meat. Today I will give you a brief explanation. The six sentient beings are reincarnation from the beginning. They used to be parents, brothers, couples and other six relatives. Since we used to be six relatives, we shouldn't eat meat. Donkeys, mules, camels, foxes, cows, horses, people and animals are mixed and sold by butchers, so they should not eat meat. All meat is a combination of blood and blood, so you shouldn't eat meat. Animals are frightened by the smell of meat eaters, just as dogs hate and bark when they see butchers, hunters and people who eat dog meat, so they should not eat meat. Eating meat will hinder practitioners from developing compassion, so they should not eat meat. Meat is a fool's favorite food. Dirty and smelly, without a good name, you shouldn't eat meat. Eating meat will disturb your mind, and the spells you hold cannot be realized, so you should not eat meat. People who are used to eating meat are immersed in the smell of meat. When they see animals, they will have the idea of killing things to eat, so they should not eat meat. People who eat meat, the weather stinks and they hate it. Don't eat meat. Eating meat will make your mouth stink, so you should not eat meat. People who eat meat often have nightmares, so don't eat meat. People who eat meat in the forest will attract tigers, wolves and other beasts, so they should not eat meat. Eating meat will make you overeat and lose control, so you shouldn't eat meat. Eating meat will make the yogi sink into the five desires, and it is difficult to arouse the heart of life and death, so don't eat meat. I once said that eating is like eating children's meat and taking medicine, and you shouldn't really eat meat. It is absolutely impossible to say that I allow my disciples to eat meat. "Great wisdom! Once upon a time, there was a king named Shi Tuopo. He liked to eat all kinds of meat, and finally he even ate human flesh. The courtiers and the people couldn't stand it anymore, so they joined forces to revolt and ousted the king. There are so many mistakes in eating meat that you shouldn't eat meat. Dahui! Animal killers slaughter animals to sell money. Stupid meat eaters, although not directly killing animals, use money to lure others to kill animals. People who kill things, for money, use hooks, traps, traps, bows and arrows and other tools to capture and kill all beings and sell them for profit. Dahui! If there are no people who want to eat meat, do not catch them themselves, and do not instruct others to kill them, there will be no killing and selling meat, so we should not eat meat. Dahui! I sometimes say that you are not allowed to eat meat in five situations: killing at sight, killing at smell, suspected killing for yourself, not dying for yourself, and eating leftovers from birds and animals. Sometimes people are not allowed to eat ten kinds of meat, such as cattle, horses, donkeys, pigs, dogs, monkeys, snakes and birds. Today's Shurangama Sutra stipulates that you are not allowed to eat all kinds of meat at any time and under any circumstances. Dahui! The Tathagata should be honest, eat Zen and taste, and not eat vulgar food. How can he eat fish and meat? Not only do you not eat it yourself, but you also don't teach others to eat it. "
