A: Buddhists have a "clean mouth and true words". You should know why the Buddha taught you to avoid the five spices of onion and garlic. The Buddha made it clear in the Shurangama Sutra that its nature can affect and stimulate our physiology. Eating raw is easy to get angry and lose your temper; Cooked, cooked, cooked, it is growth hormone, which is easy to cause sexual impulse. That's the truth, so you should understand this truth when you make this ring. But when you eat it all, you have to overdo it. It's like drinking. It's useless. So there is no problem that some things like onions and garlic are used as seasonings in cooking. The number is very small. This should be understood. Many people advise people to be vegetarian and not even eat onions and garlic. How can you eat this? He eats a little onion and garlic, but he doesn't eat meat. That's much better. He has no enmity with all beings. This must be understood. Look at us and Mr. Li. I have been with him for ten years. The teacher did a good job, but in his diet, he used onions, garlic and wine as condiments, all of which were used in dishes. This does not hinder us. We can see them all. Many people find it strange, and we understand this truth. This does not violate Buddhist precepts or rules. There are also many vacancies in these, especially in medicine. In the past, Mr. Li often said that the current diet was taking poison for three meals. Look at this meat. It's really scary to see it now. I haven't eaten meat for over 50 years, and I haven't eaten meat since I studied Buddhism for 54 years. At that time, meat was edible, but now I dare not eat it. Now the feed is all chemicals. I visited a duck factory in Qingyun, Shandong, and they took me there last year. In that duck factory, ducklings are almost as big as palms. The factory worker asked me, master, how many days did you say we kept this duck? I think it will take at least ten days to grow so big, the size of a palm and grow so big. He told me for two days, and I was shocked! Ducks become big ducks. How long does it take him to sell them? More than two weeks, less than three weeks, big enough to blow, all with chemical feed. He said that one third of Beijing roast duck was supplied by their factory, which really scared me. When we think of this place, we think that duck eggs and eggs can't be eaten. Why? It's not normal, it's all destroying the natural ecology. Therefore, it is not unreasonable that the meat we eat now suffers from those strange diseases, which makes sense. In vegetables, you can see that fertilizers and pesticides are toxic. Now it is not only poisonous to eat meat, but also poisonous to eat vegetarian food. We are also like pests and diseases. Because we often eat poison, we have a kind of resistance in our hearts, so it is getting more and more poisonous. When you look at the use of pesticides, you will see the effect of pesticides. Farmers told me that the effect of pesticides is only about half a year. After six months, pests and diseases will get used to it and will not die after eating it, so we should invent heavier pesticides. That kind of pesticide has a great adverse effect on people's health, endangering people's health. This is the revenge of those bugs on people. You hurt it, it will kill you, the same reason. So we often ask farmers, before the invention of pesticides, was there such a pest? They think about it, there were few before, and the more they killed, the more they killed. How to deal with it? You'd better not kill it, or you won't have it! So we did an experiment in Malaysia. Li Jinyou's farm, a group of experts he invited, grows vegetables and organic vegetables there. He doesn't use pesticides and fertilizers, and he doesn't use this, and he doesn't hurt sick pests. In the first year, 90% of the vegetables he planted were eaten by insects, leaving a little bit, not killing, insisting on not killing. The next year, the sick pest ate half and gave him the rest. This is the sixth year that I visited him. In the sixth year, the situation was very good. The pests and diseases only ate about 5%, and 95% was left to you. You see it has a conscience, don't you? You can't kill people. When you want to kill someone, it's really hard, so are you, both of them. In this state of life, this era is different, and the Buddha was not born in this era. All five seasonings have a taste, and insects don't eat them, so this dish is the cleanest. You don't use pesticides or fertilizers, and bugs won't eat there. So I just arrived in Australia, we bought a church, and I bought a house next to the church. Next door, they grow vegetables in the backyard because their yard is very big. Planting vegetables every one meter or so, the distance is not too far, almost like this. One meter, he grows onions and garlic. He grows a lot of onions and garlic. Strange, what is this for? Later, my master told me that he didn't use pesticides to control pests and diseases, but it made sense to use this thing. Like fennel, which we usually use, this thing doesn't eat bugs, nine-story tower, but it stinks, peppers and bugs don't eat it anyway. So now the five spices are the healthiest food in crops, especially garlic, which is really the heaviest of the five spices. There's nothing we can do. To be effective, Shandong people, Shandong people eat garlic like peanuts, we can't stand it. To tell the truth, eating two or three cloves is extremely spicy, so I can't eat any more. In the past, curator Han was in Taiwan Province Province, and it was stipulated that our library Dojo must eat garlic once a week. Everyone sends a few petals, so you must eat them to prevent diseases. This thing is sterilized. So this is medicinal. We regard it as a medicine to prevent diseases. It is bactericidal, and this is ok. In today's society, many diseases, colds and colds can be prevented, which can enhance your resistance. As long as you are treated as medicine, there is no problem. The amount of medicine is certainly not much, but prevention will have an effect. This should be understood. Buddhism is lively. Are there these commandments in Hua Yan's realm? No, "Hua Yan" means "the director is clear, everything is clear", that is the real achievement, the so-called * * * ring, he will not break. This is talking about the lowest level. He won't break the rules if he has achieved something. There is no obstacle for him in this matter. We must know the truth. So is wine. Wine has the most advantages. You are older than me. According to Buddhist scriptures, you are over 70 years old. When you are old, wine can help blood circulation. So at that time, I saw the old monk drink a glass of wine every meal. At that time, we were afraid to ask, and we always had doubts. Ask Mr. Li later. Mr. Li is right, old mage. It helps blood circulation and his health. He won't get drunk after a drink, and things will happen when he is drunk. He won't get drunk after a drink. This is health preservation, which is allowed by Buddhism.
