Why can't monks eat meat?

what's the translation like? The four-phase tasting meat chop

Jia Ye Bodhisattva told the Buddha,' Dear Sir! Meat should not be given to people who eat meat. Why? Because not eating meat has great merit. " The Buddha praised Bodhisattva Jia Ye and said,' Very good! You really know the mind of the Tathagata, and all bodhisattvas who protect Buddhism should be like you. Good man! From today on, I am not allowed to hear about disciples eating meat. When accepting food from believers, you should think that food is like the meat of your own children. " Bodhisattva Jia Ye asked the Buddha again,' Dear Sir! Why don't you allow disciples to eat meat?' The Buddha replied,' Because eating meat will break the seeds of compassion.' Jia Ye also said,' Why did the Tathagata allow the monks to eat three kinds of clean meat, which they did not kill, did not smell of killing, and were not suspected of killing themselves?' The Buddha replied,' these three kinds of clean meat are gradually formulated with different causes.' Jia Ye also asked the Buddha,' Why are ten kinds of unclean meat and nine kinds of clean meat not allowed to eat?' The Buddha told Bodhisattva Jia Ye:' It is also gradually formulated with different matters. You know, when these commandments were formulated, you already clearly declared that you should not eat meat. " Bodhisattva Jia Ye also told the Buddha,' Why does the Tathagata praise fish and meat as delicious food?' The Buddha replied:' Good man! I never said that fish and meat are delicacies. I said that sugar cane, brown rice and honey, and all cereals, brown sugar, cheese and ghee are delicacies. Although it is said that clothes should be prepared for various occasions, the color of each kind of clothes must be dark and not bright. Don't pay attention to the clothes you wear, how can you eat fish and meat instead?' Jia Ye also said:' If the Tathagata stipulates that meat is not allowed, five kinds of food such as cheese, buttermilk, raw crisp, cooked crisp and sesame oil should not be eaten, and all kinds of clothes, silk clothes, jade, leather, gold and silver utensils should not be accepted.' The Buddha said,' Good man! Your opinion should not be like Nizi's naked heresy, so it has different meanings to make all the commandments. Because of different meanings, three kinds of clean meat were previously allowed, and ten kinds of unclean meat such as cattle and horses were not allowed to be eaten. Now the meaning is different and the karma is ripe, Jia Ye! From today on, it is stipulated that disciples are not allowed to eat all kinds of meat, regardless of homicide or natural death. Jia Ye! People who eat meat, when they live, sit and lie in their daily lives, will be frightened when all beings smell his smell. Just like when someone approaches a lion, he smells like a lion. When others touch this person and smell the smell of a lion, they will also have a horrible heart. Good man! It's like someone eating garlic, which smells fishy. When others smell it, they immediately avoid it. When they smell it far away, they don't want to see it, let alone get close. The same is true of people who eat meat. When all living beings smell his breath, they will feel the fear of death. No matter what animals fly in the sky, swim in the water and walk on land, they all think that this meat eater is their enemy. Therefore, the Bodhisattva does not have the habit of eating meat. In order to humanize all beings, he shows that he eats meat. Although he shows that he eats meat, he does not really eat it. Good man! Bodhisattva doesn't even eat clean food, let alone eat meat! Good man! Me? After many years, the four fruit saints also entered nirvana? . After the Dharma is destroyed, there will be monks in the Dharma, who seem to keep precepts, don't read classics, and are greedy for food to keep fit. Wearing ugly clothes, gaunt appearance, lack of dignity. Cutting wood and grass, raising cattle and sheep, with hair and beard and long and sharp nails. Although wearing a cassock, he walks like a hunter and looks around like a cat looking for a mouse. Often, I say: I have the arhat road. My body is sick, I sleep in a dirty place, and I look like a virtuous person, but my heart is full of greed and jealousy, like a heretic who is forbidden to speak. He is a monk, but he is not a yogi. He knows Jaken evil and slanders the Dharma. This kind of person destroys the precepts and dignity formulated by Tathagata, saying that if he deviates from the purity law, he can also get relief and corrupt Tathagata's profound and supreme teachings. Explain the scripture upside down, saying that the Tathagata allows us to eat meat, but it is nonsense, saying that it is the teachings of the Buddha. Arguing with each other, everyone thinks he is a real Buddhist monk. Good man! At that time, there were more monks, storing food, accepting fish and other support, and cooking with oil bottles. Wearing a crown and leather shoes, I am close to the king's ministers and famous families. Look at divination, astronomical stars, geography and geomantic omen, practice medicine diligently, and raise handmaiden. Collect gold, silver, colored glaze, agate, glass pearl, coral tiger pearl, jade and shellfish, plant crops such as fruits and vegetables, learn painting, sculpture and other geisha. Or write books to teach and publicize their own theories; Or plant flowers, plants and trees to nourish the mood; Or use magic to harm others and yourself. Or mix all kinds of drugs, compose songs, wear fragrant flowers, wear perfume, gamble and play chess, and learn all kinds of clever skills. If a monk can stay away from all the evil things mentioned above, he is my true disciple. "

Jia Ye told the Buddha again:' Buddha! Four disciples, namely, monks, monks, monks, monks, monks, monks, monks, monks, monks, monks, monks, monks, monks, monks, monks, monks, monks, monks, monks, monks, monks, monks, monks, monks, monks, monks, monks, nuns, monks, monks, monks, nuns, monks, monks, monks, monks, monks, monks, nuns, monks, monks and nuns, The Buddha replied:' You should pick out the meat and wash the rest of the food with water until it has no meat flavor. If the bowl is contaminated with the smell of meat, wash off the smell with water before filling water with food. When you see that there is a lot of meat in the food given, you should not accept support. If you accept it, it is a violation of the precepts. "
