Question 1: Why are Indians vegetarian? Don’t eat meat? Indians eat meat. Who says Indians don’t eat meat?

It’s just that Indians have too many beliefs. Every religion and every sect has things they don’t eat. *** teaches that they can’t eat pork, and Hindus can’t eat beef. It’s a mess, in restaurants or canteens. Any kind of meat sold may infringe on the beliefs of some people. In the end, it will be no problem if everyone just stops eating meat and becomes vegetarian.

Question 2: Why are Indians vegetarian? Hindu, a large part of Hinduism does not eat meat. Brahmins are a branch of Hinduism, called Bhramin, who are monks in Hinduism, and they definitely do not eat meat.

Question 3: Is there any Hindu sect that does not require vegetarianism? Most of the various religions in India do not require vegetarianism, but some require strict vegetarianism, such as Jainism.

If it is Hinduism that the poster mentioned, it does not require vegetarianism. You can eat meat, but Indians think meat is dirty. If you want your body to be clean and pure, you should be vegetarian, so that God will I prefer it, so the upper class in India regards vegetarianism as noble, but there is no hard requirement. It is okay not to be vegetarian

Question 4: Do Indians adhere to Buddhism and basically eat vegetarian food? But why *** India kills a lot of people There are many people who don't believe in Buddhism, but there are quite a few people who believe in Hinduism. However, not everyone believes in Hinduism.

Since India was colonized by the British, the British have changed the thinking habits and beliefs of the Indians. Therefore, judging from the history of nearly a hundred years, the crime rate of Indians has increased significantly, which is different from the British. These practices are closely related.

Therefore, it is not surprising that crimes involving *** murders have increased.

Question 5: What is Hinduism and is it different from Buddhism? Although both originated in India, they are two different religions. Hinduism believes in many gods, with at least three main gods. Hinduism has a caste system, while Buddhism advocates equality.

Buddhism originated in ancient India in the sixth century BC. Buddhism advocates the "equality of all living beings" in the soul and opposes the "caste" system, but it does not oppose the slavery system. Buddhism believes that living is a life of suffering, which is rooted in various desires. Only by eliminating all desires and practicing cultivation, the soul can enter the "Ultimate World" in the future; Buddhism advocates patience and obedience. On the one hand, Buddhist teachings have become the spiritual support of the suffering people; on the other hand, they also symbolize the interests of the ruling class and use them as a tool to rule the people. Therefore, they have received widespread support and developed rapidly. In the third century BC, it was designated It became the state religion and began to spread outward: from the southeast to Southeast Asia, from the northwest to Central Asia, and from Kashmir to Khotan in China in the first century BC, and then continued to develop in China.

Hinduism appeared in the fifth century and was also produced in India. It adapted to the idea of ??feudal unity and was formed by integrating various religious teachings such as Brahmanism and Buddhism. The basic teachings of Hinduism are "Dharma" and "Karma". The so-called "Dharma" refers to the norms of people's lives and behaviors; the so-called "karma and reincarnation" means that if people live according to the "Dharma" given to themselves in this world, their souls can be reincarnated into higher castes after death. Equality is destined in the previous life. The Hindu idea of ??karma paralyzes the working people and caters to the ruling class. It is the most powerful spiritual tool to defend the feudal exploitative relationship and the unequal caste system. Therefore, it is protected and supported by the feudal ruling class. After the ninth century AD, Hinduism became a The dominant religion in the country. Due to the rise of Hinduism and the spread of Christianity in the eighth century, Buddhism in India was almost completely destroyed by the thirteenth century. Although Buddhism recovered and developed to a certain extent after the second half of the nineteenth century, today's Buddhists There are less than 20 million people in India. Although Buddhism originated in India, it developed in China. However, Hinduism has a broad foundation in India today. Coupled with the influence of tradition, the number of Hindus in India today has reached 800 million, so India is now a country dominated by Hindus.

Question 6: Hindus are vegetarians. A large part of Hinduism does not eat meat. Brahman is a branch of Hinduism called Bhramin, which is the Heding in Hinduism. It definitely does not eat meat.

Question 7: The influence of Hinduism on Indian food culture Indian food culture

Various sects coexist in India. Hindu believers account for about 82% of the total population. They regard cows as "gods" and call them "sacred cows". "Sacred cow" naturally cannot be something people talk about. On average, there is one cow for every three people in India. The upper echelons of Hinduism are fasting adherents who cannot eat any meat. Christians, who account for about 11% of the total population, abstain from pork, while Sikhs, who account for about 2%, abstain from alcohol. There are also many abstainers among Hindus and Christians.

In India, Jainism has the strictest rules. The members of this sect, which accounts for about 0.5% of the population, absolutely prohibit killing. Some believers even sell silk and leather products. They not only abstain from eating meat, but also include carrots and radishes from the fields. It is said that this is because they believe that “plants also have life, and the killing of them must be kept to a minimum.”

”

In India, curry is not just used to make curry rice. There are more than 20 kinds of seasonings that make up curry powder. Golden tulips, etc. are used in everything from bean soup and vegetarian dishes to meat and fish. There are several kinds of seasonings. There is nothing like sauce or soy sauce. Spicy seasonings also play a role in seasoning.

Most people use the most seasonings for cooking. The ingredients used are cardamom, black pepper, cloves, nutmeg, etc., but everyone seems to think that "their own recipe is the best".

Indian curry rice is mostly spicy. Too spicy is not considered a good thing in India. Northerners say: “Southern food is too spicy and you can’t taste the ingredients. But in the southernmost state, they said: "The food in the next state is spicy." "In northern states, the average daily consumption of spicy seasonings per person is 3 grams, while in southern states it is seven to eight times more. The maximum daily consumption in the state is more than 20 grams. Someone who runs a curry shop said: “Although this difference is related to the eating habits of southerners who can harvest large quantities of peppers, etc., it is also related to the hot weather in the south all year round. "In the sultry and dry heat of the southern interior, strong alcohol is needed to increase appetite.

Question 8: In Life of Pi, is PI vegetarian because of Christianity or Hinduism? Lou What you say below is wrong. It should be Christianity. This is Life of Pi from a historical perspective. I have not watched it. The descendants of Hindus changed their teachings and precepts for their own private interests. The Christian Bible writes that Jesus let Angels do not eat meat because their lives are also given by God. Buddhism is also unlikely. Buddhism teaches gradual teaching, abstaining from meat little by little, first three kinds of meat (not eating three kinds of meat), and then five kinds of meat ( Only eat five kinds of meat (eating bad meat), the requirements are getting higher and higher, and finally I don’t eat meat at all, because it is not from the perspective of the film, it may not be right

Question 9: Are Indian monks vegetarian? No, India The monks are different from the Chinese Buddhist monks. They are not vegetarians, but eat three pure meats. They must meet three conditions: first, they must not see the killing, and they have not seen the miserable scene of the animal dying; Secondly, one does not hear the killing, neither does one hear its screams; thirdly, one does not kill for one’s own sake, neither does one kill for one’s own desire to eat.

Chinese Buddhism is due to Emperor Wu of Liang’s vegetarian diet. It is forbidden for all monks to eat vegetarian food. Looking through the early precepts, there is no such precept. Devadatta, a traitor to Buddhism, once asked the Buddha to pay attention to the practice of asceticism. The reason for the Venerable's dhutanga behavior, combined with his personal experience during the practice of magical powers, strongly advocates the five ascetic practices (1) "receiving alms clothing throughout one's physical life", (2) "receiving the begging method throughout one's physical life", (3) "The method of receiving one meal at the end of one's physical life", (4) "the method of receiving exposure to the ground for the end of one's physical life", (5) "the method of cutting off one's flesh until the end of one's physical life". I think these five methods are the way and can lead to nirvana quickly. It is clearly recorded in the Vinaya: "Devadatta's illegal teaching, non-law saying law, Dharma teaching illegal, law speaking non-law, is an act of destroying the monks and breaking the law."

And vegetarianism is what Devadatta taught. The meat cutting method advocated. The focus of the Buddha's teachings has nothing to do with vegetarianism or meat. The most important thing is the teaching of "suffering". A monk was once questioned by a Chinese Buddhist layman as to why he did not become a vegetarian. He himself believed that this was a compassionate way. The bhikkhu replied to the layman that eating has nothing to do with meat or vegetarian food. The most important thing is one's own thinking. Attachment to food is actually an obstacle to spiritual practice. The purpose of food is simply to keep the body active so that it can practice spiritual practice.

Question 10: What kind of meat do Hindus not eat? Beef! The cow is the mount of their main god Shiva!

The following is information from the Internet!

"The greatness and moral progress of a nation can be reflected in its attitude towards animals. Protecting cattle means protecting those helpless and fragile lives." Faced with the need to either change religious beliefs or change The dilemma of secular life, respecting tradition and culture, and using legal and economic levers to regulate secular life may be a manifestation of humanization.

The leisurely sacred cows on the streets of India

The Delhi High Court in India passed an order on August 4, requiring the relevant authorities to ask for cow-catching services in order to completely rid the city of traffic hazards. The investors are paid a cash reward of 2,000 rupees per cow, which is equivalent to one month's salary of an average Indian. Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men. Suddenly, countless "cowboys" appeared in the streets and alleys of New Delhi, riding motorcycles, driving cars, and armed with all kinds of simple weapons, and they captured the cows and sent them to the " Asylum”. This move is really a last resort. For the Communist Party, the capital has been plagued by cattle for a long time. In addition to blocking traffic, it also pollutes the environment, spreads diseases, and even injures people to death. It seems a bit lawless. Due to various reasons, problems that should have been solved by municipal management departments have been delegated to the private sector. On the one hand, it may be to divert conflicts and avoid scenes similar to the violent conflict between the official cattle catching team and the people that occurred in February this year. On the other hand, It also expressed the determination of the new Communist Party to completely eradicate chronic diseases.

In India, cows are the mounts of the main god Shiva. More than 80% of Indians are Hindus and worship cows as gods. Every cow seems to have Lord Shiva riding on its back, patrolling India. The earth, that kind of sacred religious feeling is indeed difficult to understand from a secular perspective.

Although India has long been a modern country with separation of politics and religion, religion still has a great influence on political life. Some violent conflicts in the past are not unrelated to religious disputes. Mahatma Gandhi once said: "The cow is the mother of millions of people in India. The ancient sages, no matter who they are, all came from cows." When the sacred cow conflicts with secular life, deep-rooted religious feelings and culture Under the atmosphere, it is difficult to solve it in a simple and crude way. According to official statistics, there are approximately 40,000 sacred cows roaming New Delhi. Because the constitution prohibits the slaughter of sacred cows, which are important farming tools, after they grow old, their owners are often not willing to support them due to secular economic factors, but let them go wild and let them fend for themselves. This is The largest source of stray cattle. From this perspective, sacred cow worship does not transcend secular value orientations. However, since stray cows can be well taken care of by citizens and will not be harmed, it can also be said to be a traditional way for farmers to pass on their economic burdens. It will not cause conscience to be condemned. Of course, there are also some domestic cows that are put on the streets, and Gong takes them home when they are being milked to create economic value. There are also many villains who take advantage of sacred cow worship. Driven by two major factors, the unique landscape of Indian metropolises has been created. There are approximately 200 million cattle in India, accounting for 1/4 of the world's total. As long as a very small number of people adopt the above two methods, the number of stray cattle will continue to grow. Therefore, this measure taken by the Delhi High Court can only be a temporary measure. In fact, as one city official pointed out, from September 2003 to March 2005, they captured 30,000 stray cattle, only to find them back on the streets.

"Protecting cows is a gift from Hinduism to the world. As long as Hindus protect cows, Hinduism will be passed down forever." But who should bear the responsibility of protecting sacred cows? If this responsibility is given to all people ization, then a very small number of people will have the opportunity to take advantage of the loopholes. In this regard, secular economic rules will play a decisive role. It is said that the stray cattle captured during this event will be auctioned and the funds raised from the auction will be used to pay the bounty. The cattle will be branded with a special mark and their owners will be fined heavily if they end up on the streets again. This may be a solution, using laws to protect the divinity of religion and implementing economic and legal responsibilities on individuals. In any case, people who let sacred cows live on the streets are not only disrespectful to religion, but also disrespectful to the law. Those who take advantage should be punished as they deserve. However, the human and financial resources spent on raising a cow for a long time are undoubtedly a huge burden for poor farmers in the process of urbanization. Reasonable economic compensation from the state will be more of a permanent solution than rewarding the cow catcher. Strategy.

Sacred cow worship is a beautiful religious feeling and an excellent cultural tradition of traditional farming society. "The greatness and moral progress of a nation...>>
