The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism

Chapter 278: Want to eat meat? [For subscription]

Founder agrees or disagrees with this type of education, and the result of completely disregarding it is that Fang Zhengye has been running the train with his mouth full of swear words for so many years. Although he also realized some philosophy of life and life, he is an ordinary child without higher education. After all, he can do as much as he can with a single Zen master. How much can he expect to realize by himself? As for the approval, it is because the one-finger Zen master gave him a happy childhood, and he has always remained the same, he is still him, and still the Founder!

Even if the system suddenly appeared, gave him some shackles, but it soon became irrelevant, can not curse? Although Founder still exploded occasionally, not swearing did not seem to affect his life. As for maintaining a master's style in front of others, this person is already saying that it is a compulsory course, no matter what, pretend to be a good master, and accumulate a lot of merit, and strive to return to the vulgar as soon as possible!

Think of yourself and look at Red Baby again. Founder is more and more certain of his teaching direction. Now Red Baby is fiercer than he was at the beginning. Therefore, he must be appropriately beaten, and he must be forced to suppress the idea of ​​incompatible murder. Then gradually guide and influence, and the rest depends on how much he can realize himself. Early realization, early release, and later realization, let's give Fangzheng his retirement here ...

To be honest, Founder really didn't have much confidence to affect him ...

At lunch, the red baby didn't eat at all and sat there in a daze.

"Jingxin, why don't you eat?" Fang Zheng asked.

The red baby braced his chin and looked at the front with a disappointed look: "Enough is enough, although I don't vomit, but ... I'm not interested in looking at them. I really don't understand you. Eat these every day. Isn't it boring to eat? These white rice, rotten vegetables and leaves, how can there be delicious meat. Master, I see the monks on Lingshan, can eat meat. How come to you, ca n’t you eat meat? Are you also the old demon ... "

Founder: "Huh ?!"

The red child immediately changed his mouth and said, "Has it been bodhisattva?"

Upon hearing this, the lone wolf also secretly looked at Fangzheng. Although Jingmi was delicious, after all, the lone wolf was a wolf, and he still had some ideas about the meat.

Founder knew that the lone wolf must have thought about this question, but he didn't dare to ask it. Now that the red baby is talking about the topic today, he doesn't mind talking about it.

Founder lowered his chopsticks and sat upright. "You know, why don't monks eat meat?"

The red baby rolled his eyes and said, "If you know, I still ask you?"

Fang Zheng ignored him and looked at the lone wolf, monkey, and squirrel. The three guys really shook their heads, and Fang Zheng continued: "The Buddhist scriptures," The Precepts of Guangyuan, "wrote very clearly: Buddhism has no vegetarian requirements. Buddhists are forbidden to eat Yes, it is "。". This 荤 is not our current concept, it refers to animal food such as chicken, duck, fish, etc. We are talking about 荤, Buddhism is called "fishy" instead of "荤". When reading hun, it should be read as xun, which means smoked vegetables, which means "smell is the smell of vegetables." The "Fangwang Scripture" puts it more specifically: "If the Buddha must not eat five sins. "Garlic, shallots, sweet shallots, blue shallots, and Xingqu are Wuxin", and these are the five kinds of vegetables. Note that the five Wuxin here does not only refer to these five vegetables, but refers to all spicy vegetables. Therefore, as long as it is spicy and stimulating, it cannot be eaten.

The word 荤 from the head of the grass, not from the side of the meat, shows that the original meaning of 荤 is plants, not animals, so earlier monks were allowed to eat meat.

However, there are always exceptions.

More than 1,400 years ago, Xiao Yan, Emperor Liang Wu of the Southern Dynasty, changed here.

Xiao Yan is a Buddhist himself. To what extent does he believe in Buddhism? In order to become a monk, it can be said that he has racked his brains. The world can do it. The harem beauties can do it. As long as he can become a monk, he can do anything. He even calls himself a "Sambo slave". What's more, in order to be a monk, he directly I gave it up to the monastery, which is the Tongtai Temple at the time. .

However, only the emperor was in charge at that time, and no deputy emperor could manage the political affairs of the emperor when he was studying the scriptures. For a time, the whole country was out of order. The ministers are helpless, and the conference has held countless meetings. No matter how willful the emperor is, this country still has to control it! So everyone thinks about it, thinks about it, and finally comes up with a way to redeem the emperor!

As a result, these ministers took the money and sent them to Tongtai Temple, and then redeemed the Emperor Xiao Yan hard. But this emperor is also a wonderful work, you redeem me? Then I give myself up again! The minister also worked with him, and you will redeem if you give up! Anyway, money belongs to the country!

It's cheaper to visit the temple in this way, and it's not a way to see it in the temple! Today's emperor believes in Buddhism. If the emperor is changed, it will be unhappy to see him, and if he is rich, he may have to operate on them. However, no one can help Xiao Yan as a monk.

This shows how Xiao Yan is obsessed with the Dharma. Later, he saw that there was a ban on killing in the book, and he pondered that ban on killing, but ban on killing was not enough. Without trading, there is no killing, no one eats, who kills? So he issued a ban prohibiting the world ’s monks from eating meat, and at the same time, upgrading this rule to the gods of the heavens and the earth, all should enjoy monk treatment. In other words, in the future, sacrifices to heaven, earth, gods, and ancestors will not be able to use three pig heads, and all will be changed to pig heads and pork made of flour.

It was also from that time that there were regulations for monks not to eat meat. However, after all, the Southern Dynasty had only lasted for a few years, and it had not unified the whole country, and its influence was far less than that of subsequent generations.

However, in the later period, when Kumarosh translated the Buddhist scriptures, he added no eating meat to the Bodhisattva ring, and the original Bodhisattva ring has long been lost. It's time to stop eating meat. But it was only advocating, not a mandatory rule, after all, Kumorosh also married his cousin as his wife. But this is the beginning of expanded publicity, and the impact is very wide.

The monk's inability to eat meat became a mandatory rule in the Zen dynasty of the Tang Dynasty. The Zen "Baizhang Clear Regulations" clearly stipulated that monks could not eat meat, but at the beginning, it was only for monks, and later all monks were required.

Even so, whether or not a monk can eat meat is also treated separately according to different situations, without generalizing. ,

Buddhism is divided into Mahayana and Mahayana. The Mahayana is to focus on oneself, and to use self-degree as a means of saving others, so you can't eat any kind of meat, which is Xiao Yan's theory. Without eating, there is no killing.

Theravada but seeks self-satisfaction but not others, and allows three types of "clean meat". "Three clean meat" is "one who does not see his killer; two who do not hear the killer for me; three who do not kill for me. ".

For "bhikkhu patients", that is, monks who are sick, humanitarian policies, special care, and any kind of meat can be eaten. Today, monks from countries such as Tianzhu and Srika, and monks from the Mongolian, Tibetan, and Qiang ethnic groups in China are allowed to eat meat. "

"Master, I see. We are Mahayana Buddhism, aren't we? We have to cross people, so we can't eat meat!" The squirrel raised his paw first.
