From 1 1 6th of the month to16th of February, 2004, guangde temple, the Millennium Royal Zen Forest in Suining City, Sichuan Province, held a three-altar fasting ceremony, and about 40 eminent monks from various jungle temples gathered in guangde temple. According to Chang Jing, the master of the temple, vegetarian food, exquisite duck fish, flowers and birds and other works of art are all made of various bean products. The unique "vegetarian feast" of China Temple with excellent color, fragrance and taste contains profound historical origins and rich "vegetarian culture".

All kinds of simulated animal meat made of bean products have been combined into a sumptuous banquet for nearly two thousand years. "Indian monks Zhu Falan and Ye Jia came to China to preach and give lectures. Because the royal family believed in Buddhism, many royal nobles followed Indian monks to become monks at that time. As a result, Buddhism spread widely in China. " Master Chang Jing explained the origin of "vegetarian culture" because the royal family believed in Buddhism, and they used professional vegetarian chefs to study vegetarianism. One is to worship two Indian monks, and the other is to satisfy those monks who are born in the royal family and become monks together. China's unique vegetarian culture began.

According to the Book of the Later Han Dynasty? The Biography of the Western Regions records that during the Yongping period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Cai Cheng to ask Tianzhu about Buddhism and Taoism. In 67 AD, Cai Cheng invited Zhu Falan and Mo, the most famous classical scholars in Tianzhu, to teach Buddhism in Luoyang. Emperor Han Ming placed two venerable people in the Baima Temple in Luoyang (named after the two venerable people came to China on white horses) and built 24 Buddhist temples for Buddha statues. While preaching, two Indian monks also brought Tianzhu culture.

After Buddhism was introduced into China, first of all, some princes and nobles believed in Buddhism. They are vegetarians and chanting Buddha, hoping to become immortals in the western paradise in the afterlife, and will be more prosperous in the Tang Dynasty. Guangde temple was founded in the Dali period of the Tang Dynasty. Since the thirteenth year of Dali, I have enjoyed the imperial bath named by Emperor Dai Dai. After more than 800 years in Tang, Song and Ming Dynasties, it became the Millennium Royal Zen Forest in Southwest China after 11 years of emperors' coronation. According to reports, by the heyday of the Ming Dynasty, guangde temple had achieved the goal of "knocking at nine places and eating at three places" (monks used the rules of fasting and knocking at meals), with more than 3,000 monks. As a kind of scientific nutrition distribution, a kind of nutriment for regulating family's body and mind, and a luxury for receiving distinguished guests, "fast feast" has formed the characteristic vegetarian meal of this large jungle temple with sub-scale in the world.

In the past, the vegetarian banquet in guangde temple was mainly served by respected monks and Buddhist practitioners, and was also used to receive distinguished guests. Monks in the temple eat this kind of "delicious food" on holidays, the Christmas of Bodhisattva's father Dade and special anniversaries. The vegetarian culture of Buddhism, in which vegetarian food replaces meat, not only embodies the religious characteristics of "I am a Buddha with compassion" and advocates not killing, but also satisfies the wishes of all beings and is beneficial to regulating their body and mind. Since 1985, the vegetarian feast in guangde temple has been open to the public, and believers from all directions can enjoy its "vegetarian culture".
