Do Buddhist disciples have to be vegetarian? Why doesn't Buddhism eat five spices?

Forgive me for thinking of Kim Jong-feng in Please Answer 1988. When Zhengfeng went to the temple to practice, he ate vegetarian food, but it didn't affect his appetite at all. Instead, he thought it was super delicious and asked for two bowls. So I feel that vegetarianism is not necessarily completely impossible for ordinary people (manual funny).

But a Buddhist disciple doesn't have to be a vegetarian. Buddhism advocates not killing, so? Vegetarian? It has become the best way to realize this canon. Besides,? Vegetarian? It is also regarded as a kind of self-cultivation. Vegetarians are often not as delicious as meat. Being able to avoid eating meat for your own beliefs is tantamount to giving up a temptation and a greed.

And different Buddhists have different views on whether they are vegetarian or not. For example, Tibetan Buddhism is allowed to eat meat. Why? Sanjin meat? , that is, not to kill, not to kill, not to kill for yourself. Because in the past, due to geographical reasons, Tibetan Buddhism lacked vegetables and needed to eat meat. But now they are also advocating vegetarianism.

so? Vegetarian? Is not a necessary condition for following Buddhism. Eating meat is allowed if conditions are limited or there are other circumstances. As long as you are compassionate, you are still a qualified Buddhist child.

as for? Wuxin? , refers to the garlic, onion, onion, leek, Xingqu five. They are all spicy and pungent. The common things in life are onions, garlic and leeks. We all know that garlic will leave a bad smell in the mouth, so Buddhism fasted? Wuxin? One of the reasons is this. It is disrespectful to go to the temple with a peculiar smell in your mouth. You can smell the irritating smell on your body from a distance, and the gods have long been scared away from thousands of miles away.

another reason is? Wuxin? After eating, it is easy to cause anxiety: cooked food is erotic, and health is increasing. Eating an angry temper makes people irritable and horny. Therefore, it is not conducive to practice, and of course it cannot be eaten.

But like vegetarianism, it is not so absolute not to eat five spices. For example, in order to prevent colds, you can eat some garlic, but you must wait until the taste dissipates before you can enter the Buddhist temple.

Therefore, not being a vegetarian and having five passions are a manifestation of the compassion and self-discipline of Buddhist people. However, the fundamental purpose of these rules is to cultivate self-cultivation and be compassionate. If we only look at the surface and ignore the internal needs, no matter how we abstain from eating, we can't really realize Buddhism and Taoism.
