After I finished the Shurangama Sutra, in the Last Law, many ghosts and gods made waves in the world, claiming that eating meat led to Bodhi Road.
"Shurangama Sutra Zongtong": What is it, with fish and three clean meats, that you don't teach people to take, seek self-sufficiency, and don't want meat? Therefore, a carnivore is no different from killing, killing many lives and breaking the Tathagata.
Brahma Sutra: You can't eat without meat. If a person eats meat, he will cut off the seeds of great compassion and Buddha nature, and all beings will give it up when they see it. Therefore, all bodhisattvas are not allowed to eat the flesh of all beings, and eating meat is innocent.
Old monk Xu Yun said: No matter what dharma you practice, you must always observe the precepts. If you don't keep the precepts, no matter how wise you are, it is a magical thing.
Inspiration from Master Miao Xiang: First, we should strictly observe precepts and practice. The foundation of keeping precepts is the five precepts. Starting with the five commandments, if you can abide by one of them, you will abide by one; If you can keep two commandments, keep two commandments; If you hold all the five precepts, you have laid a good foundation. This basis, killing, stealing, fornication, madness and drinking, must be strictly observed. For example, killing life, for a simple example, means that we can't kill all sentient beings, and all sentient beings, including those flying in the sky and those walking on the ground, can't move-we can't kill anything that has life. It is very important to cut off the seeds of great compassion after killing. It is impossible to become a Buddha without cutting off the seeds of great compassion.
Therefore, it is recorded in the precepts and Buddhist classics that monks cannot eat meat.
1. After the Buddha died, there was no three golden meats.
If there is an idiot in Mahayana who slanders Tathagata for eating meat and food, you should know that this is entangled in people's bad karma, and you will never be spared the benefits.
According to the scripture, when the Buddha was alive, he did allow his disciples to eat meat for a period of time, such as Sanjin meat and hardware meat. However, the "clean meat" that the Buddha lived in is not what we now understand as "three clean meats". Three lean meats are intangible, unheard of and unquestionable. Those who didn't see it, those who didn't see it themselves, killed animals for me; If you don't hear it, you won't hear it from a trusted person, so killing is a beast; People who don't doubt, there are butchers inside, and they are kind-hearted and can't take away the lives of livestock. Nowadays, most of the meat eaten by the world is killed for others, but for people who eat meat. It can't be "clean meat".
Eating meat is taking part in killing.
The "clean meat" that the Buddha allowed his disciples to eat when he was alive was not the real meat of all beings, but the "fake meat" that the Buddha showed people with divine power and had no roots in life. Shurangama Sutra: Ananda, I made all the monks eat five clean meats, which are all my magical powers and have no roots in life. You brahmin, the land is wet, with sand and gravel, and grass and vegetables are not born. I added it with the power of compassion, because of the pseudonym of compassion, you got its taste. With the death of the Buddha, this "clean meat" that has no roots in life and is now the Buddha naturally no longer exists. Therefore, the Buddha clearly told his disciples that there is no clean meat in the world and all meat should not be eaten from now on.
Eating meat is only a temporary expedient, and the Buddha has already banned it.
"Nirvana Sutra" Ye Jia Bodhisattva answered the words of the White Buddha: Buddha, why don't the clouds come to listen to meat? A good man, a meat eater, broke the great kindness. Ye Jia added, "If you come, why did you listen to the monk eat three kinds of clean meat first?" ? Buddha's words: Ye Jia is three kinds of clean meat, which gradually formed with the development of events. Bodhisattva Ye Jia answered the words of the White Buddha: Buddha! Why not listen to ten kinds of impurities or even nine kinds of purity? Buddha told Ye Jia: It is also formed gradually because of things. When we know it, we will break the flesh now.
Entering the Lengga Sutra: I learned the fruit of three riding for my disciples, covering all the meat and not listening to food.
Monks beg for food and don't accept meat.
Nirvana Sutra: Buddhas, monks, monks, excellent women and excellent women were born because of him. If you get mixed meat when begging, how can you get clean food? Buddha's words: Ye Jia, you should tell the meat to be washed before eating. If its utensils are stained with meat but have no taste, it is innocent to listen to them. If you see more meat in food, you shouldn't accept it. You shouldn't eat any meat you are eating now, and people who eat it will be offended. What I sang today is the broken meat system. I can't stop if I talk too much.
To say that Buddha eats meat is to slander Buddha.
Mahayana enters the Shurangama Sutra: great wisdom! In the future, there will be fools who become monks in our laws, falsely saying that Puni is not good at misbehaving and slandering me for eating meat by myself.
Great wisdom, if an idiot slanders Tathagata for eating meat, he will eat himself. When you know that it is entangled in bad karma, you will never be spared the benefits.
Dahui! All my saints and disciples don't eat ordinary food, but they eat unclean food? Dahui! I heard that Bodhisattvas still only eat according to the law. What happened?
Dahui! Tathagata dharma body is not omnivorous. Dahui! I cut off all my troubles, washed away all my habits, made good use of all my wisdom, and felt great compassion and equality. Why do you hear that disciples eat children's meat? How much self-sufficiency is there? There's nothing wrong with that.
