First, monks prefer quiet to sports, and often sit still for a long time, either listening to the teacher's instructions or meditating. After a long time, fat will accumulate and their bodies will become obese.
Second, they live regularly, eating and sleeping on time every day; This will contribute to the balance and regularity of biological clock, and contribute to normal gastrointestinal function and normal nutrient absorption.
Third, the monk is a pure heart, and he can let go of everything without worrying about anything; The so-called broad-minded and fat, good spirit and enough sleep naturally gain weight.
Fourth, many monks like to meditate cross-legged, which can promote blood circulation and dredge meridians; In the long run, harmony of yin and yang and balance of five elements can also make people fat.
Monks in temples are strictly a profession. Obesity varies from person to person. Some are fat and some are thin, but thin people generally feel normal and people don't pay attention.
As professional temples, there are some tourist attractions, some places where believers worship and some places where monks practice. The first two temples have good commercial value, and monks earn more. It is said that they also recruit social workers, shave their heads, wear robes, guide tourists to pay money and burn incense in temples. Although the latter defended themselves, they also had the support of believers and lived a good life. At present, the country is peaceful, the people are safe, and many people believe in Buddhism, although some people believe in Buddhism only in the hope that the Buddha will bless them to make a fortune.
Monks in temples don't eat animal products, which was advocated by A Liang Xiao Yan, Emperor of the Northern Dynasties. Only temples in Chinese mainland practice this commandment, and its principle is not to kill animals and not to be disturbed by secular desires. Therefore, in addition to animal meat, even spicy foods such as ginger and garlic cannot be eaten. But the egg is ok. Maybe they think that the original form of the egg is not alive yet. However, this has affected society. Scrambled eggs with tomatoes and scrambled eggs with bitter gourd are all vegetarian dishes.
The truly simple monks should be those who practice asceticism. They don't have a fixed temple, they wander around like vagrants and live on charity. Therefore, this group of monks is unlikely to have fat monks with broad minds.
Let's talk about vegetarian food again. All the dishes are cooked with vegetable oil. Ingredients include tofu and various vegetables. They can also be made from heavy oil. Some chefs can also make a Buddha jumping wall with tofu. I have eaten vegetarian food several times in the temple. Basically, I eat three bowls of rice, because all kinds of dishes made of tofu, eggplant, eggs and tomatoes are delicious. If this happens every day, it's strange that you don't look like Shi Yongxin.
