Monk, a transliteration of the ancient western language, originated from Sanskrit, which originally meant "teacher" and was an honorific title for "a monk with certain cultivation", but it has been a general term for male monks in China and Japan since ancient times.
In Buddhism, a monk refers to a humble and supreme Buddhist practitioner. Sanskrit is not an accurate transliteration in ancient western languages. In ancient Indian Sanskrit, the teacher was called Upadhyaya, transliterated as Wubotoye or Wubotoye, and the provincial voice was a monk. In China and other places, male Buddhists who practice at home are often pointed out.
"Book of Jin, Art Biography, Buddha and Tucheng": "Monks are magical powers and worry about my plan. If you come tomorrow, leave first. " Song Zhuang Ji wrote in "Chicken Ribs": "Monks in the capital are afraid of' monks' and are called' teachers'; I am jealous of' Stone Drum' and call it' Female Monk'. " Ancient and modern novel Five Commandments of Zen Master Wu Ming: "The royal family in the courtyard dreamed of a monk at night and was taken aback when they entered the room."
Ding Ling's "Mother" me: "Later, the second master went out again and there was no news. He said that he has broken through the world of mortals and become a monk. " See Tang Huilin's The Sound and Meaning of the Classics, Volume II, Teacher's Note.

Now monks in Shaolin Temple don't eat meat, which is one of the fundamental commandments of monks in China. As long as they are really monks in the Central Plains, they don't eat meat. At present, monks in Shaolin Temple are exempt from the three altar commandments, but there are three things that must be observed, that is, being a vegetarian, becoming a monk and being single. Li Shimin is just a legend.
Monks should observe the precepts. Not to mention the monks in our family, even the lay people in our family can not eat meat! Disciples who have received the Five Commandments can basically observe them well, and monks have received more commandments, including 300 and 500. It is actually a misunderstanding of the public to say that they have no energy to practice martial arts. Monks in Shaolin Temple in Henan mainly do not practice martial arts, but, like monks in other places, practice Buddhism as their main business.
But to be clear, the Buddha himself did not say that he could not eat meat, but only advocated not killing. He asked his disciples (disciples who volunteered to be ordained) not to eat meat. First, they should be merciful. Second, they should avoid reincarnation. Third, they should let go of this feeling of "enjoyment" and practice better.
