Why can't monks eat garlic?
According to the Shurangama Sutra, a person who eats onions, garlic and meat dishes can preach the twelve sutras and talk about them, and all the gods are far away from them. In the Buddha's precepts, you have to leave the monk group because you want to eat onion and garlic for special reasons of treating diseases. After leaving the monk group for seven days, you have to bathe and change clothes before you can enter the monk group. At present, many high-end hotels forbid waiters to eat scallions and garlic, because scallions and garlic smell terrible! Therefore, this is the minimum. No matter whether you are eating in the world or practicing Taoism in the world, don't eat these things, because eating them raw can increase your appetite, and eating them cooked can trigger lust, which is very bad. Buddha is a wise man. Buddha sees these things too clearly. We can't do what Buddha tells us to do.

In the Shurangama Sutra, Sakyamuni Buddha showed the practitioners that if they want to practice samadhi, they should first cut off the five precepts. That is, common onions, garlic, leeks, leeks, and canals (onions). In the Lengga Sutra, the Buddha also emphasized: "Onions, leeks, garlic, etc., which are smelly and unclean, can hinder the sacred way and man and heaven."

In the Diamond Sutra, Sakyamuni Buddha said to his disciples, "The Tathagata is a true talker, a real talker, a talker, a non-slanderer, and a non-native speaker." All the teachings of the Buddha flow from the sea of self-nature, which transcends the delusion of treating them separately. Therefore, the truth of life in the universe revealed by Buddhist scriptures can always stand the test of facts. The recent personal encounter at the end of the school just confirms the teachings of the Buddhist scriptures, which can not only enhance our faith in the Buddha's holy words, but also sound an alarm for us from the opposite side, which is worthy of our deep reflection.
