People often say that wine and meat penetrate the intestines, and what does Buddha mean in his heart!
"Wine and meat pass through the intestines, but Buddha's heart stays" —— What should Buddha think of this sentence that people often say today? I often have friends who advise me to give up vegetarianism on the grounds that the Buddha said, "Wine and meat lead the intestines, but the Buddha's heart stays", leaving me wondering how to answer this question. Friends may have seen the film Shaolin Temple filmed in the 1980s. In a clip, Master found that his apprentice was stealing dog meat. He went up and robbed the dog meat. He casually said, "Wine and meat cross the intestines, and the Buddha pays attention." He and his disciples began to munch. Most people today get this sentence from movies, which has become a "famous saying" to persuade people to give up vegetarianism. Needless to say, the cause and effect, so where did this sentence come from? Today, I checked the relevant information on the Internet and pieced it together for readers. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, before Zhang attacked Chongqing, he stationed troops in a temple and coerced monks in the temple to eat meat. There was a monk named Broken Mountain. He asked Zhang not to slaughter the people when he attacked Chongqing, but to exchange their lives. He is willing to destroy and eat meat by himself. When eating meat, the monk who broke the mountain casually said, "Wine and meat cross the intestines, and the Buddha pays attention." A monk who breaks the mountain eats meat to save people, which belongs to opening a business, not breaking the precepts. This is naturally wisdom. These two sentences were first said by Jigong Living Buddha in order to break people's persistence. The whole story is like this: wine and meat pass through the intestines, but the Buddha stays in my heart. If the world learns from me, it will be possessed. Master Yin Guang once told Jigong about eating meat: "The Taoist Zen master is a great supernatural saint. He wants to make all life positive and confident, so he often doesn't think carefully." The man who drinks and eats meat hides his virtue as a saint, trying to show the fool that he is crazy and illegal, so he doesn't believe it. Otherwise he can't live in the world. Where buddhas and bodhisattvas appear, if they show the same common people, they will only educate people and never show their magical powers. If you show your magical powers, you can't live in the world. It's okay to be crazy now, and it's okay to show it. It is not for practitioners to drink and eat meat. Good people in the world don't drink or eat meat, but they are disciples of the Buddha. They want to educate all beings, but they don't follow the teachings themselves. It will not only make people lose confidence, but also make people lose confidence, so you can't learn by drinking and eating meat. If he eats the dead, he will spit out the living. You have eaten the dead, but you can't spit out the original meat, so you can't learn to eat meat. After drinking wine, he can fill the Buddha with gold. Countless trees can be transported out of the well. Drinking wine can't transport well water. How do you learn from him? "Today people don't know the principle of Buddhism, so they take it out of context, refer to evil as good, and take wrong as right. As the saying goes, there is no limit, no wonder the ancestors were bad, ignorant of morality and speechless. It's really sad. Presumably Buddha should know how to answer this question after reading this article.
