For example, many people who learn from Buddhism have a deep misunderstanding of Buddhism. They have always believed that learning Buddhism means believing in Buddhism and treating Sakyamuni as a god rather than a human being. In fact, I read many Buddhist arguments and got the wrong answer. And now many Buddhist disciples have misinformation. It is wrong to be a vegetarian if you want to learn Buddhism. Sakyamuni never said that learning Buddhism must be vegetarian. I don't know why many people associate vegetarianism with the thought of learning Buddhism.
Vegetarian food in Taiwan Province Province is famous all over the country. It is understood that the earliest vegetarian restaurant in Chengdu came from temples. Vegetarianism is worth promoting. You can be a vegetarian, but this has nothing to do with the true spirit of Buddhism.
In fact, with the deepening of practice, because of the purity of my body, I will automatically and consciously eat less meat and more vegetarian food, but that is not forced.
1996, there was a vegetarian restaurant named Xinguanghua invested by Xinguanghua Hotel in Sunshine City on Kehua North Road. Close in three years. This restaurant, formerly known as Sun Palace, was a first-class high-consumption dining place in Chengdu in the early 1990s. Later, I went to the vegetarian restaurant with "Sunflower Dad"? Is it still a vegetable? Is the good quality called the simple Zhai Hua Yu Dao Shan Ting? Qing' an vegetarian restaurant? Everyone has disappeared. Everyone in my impression is 200-600 yuan.
? There are also some Buddhist places where jujube trees are more social. Other well-known places include Wenshuyuan Vegetarian Restaurant, Zhaojue Temple Vegetarian Restaurant, Baoguang Temple Vegetarian Restaurant, Qingyang Palace Vegetarian Restaurant, Daci Temple Vegetarian Restaurant, Emei Mountain Guobao Temple Vegetarian Restaurant, Emei Mountain Wannian Temple Vegetarian Restaurant, Fofuhui, Yongling Road 19, Wuyuegong Street No.50 Zhenshanzhai, etc. In addition, Minglu Hotel, Buddhist theme hotel and vegetarian food in Chengdu are also great. I can't give you many addresses, so I'll try to recommend them to you. In short, what I want to say is that there is a big difference between learning Buddhism and believing in Buddhism. In addition, people who study Buddhism and believe in Buddhism have little to do with vegetarianism, so don't go into some misunderstandings. Thank you, personal opinion.
? It's taken from the subordinate's information, not the text I compiled.
The topic that monks can't eat meat like monks is not accurate. To be precise, the Han nationality Buddhism monks in China are not allowed to eat meat. Some monks from the South, Tibet and the East (Japan) can eat meat.
Then answer.
Are there any Buddhist scriptures or commandments to keep monks from eating meat?
No, Buddhism says that you can't kill, but the precepts don't say that you can't eat meat, as long as you don't see or hear that you are killed or die (referred to as three refined meats). However, the Shurangama Sutra says that the Bodhisattva is merciful and cannot bear to eat the flesh of all beings.
Does Buddha eat meat?
Sakyamuni Buddha ate meat when he was alive. But advocate eating only three clean meats.
Why don't Han monks in China eat meat?
Because of Liang Wudi. Before Liang Wudi, Buddhism in the Han Dynasty was allowed to eat three refined meats. Liang Wudi advocated Buddhism and believed that killing should be treated fundamentally, so he ordered monks not to eat meat. This rule is more in line with the doctrine, so it has been preserved.
Does it violate the precepts for Han monks to eat meat?
Please do not violate it. For example, when giving alms, the food given by the donor is meat. Of course, monks in China can't beg for alms now. If the monk is sick, he needs to be supplemented with nutrition and can also eat meat.
Here, I would like to add that Buddhism is about abstinence from meat. The "meat" here is not the meat we are talking about now, but the spicy food, such as onion and garlic. The main reason is that monks have to recite scriptures, and eating spicy food is not good and disrespectful.
