Fang Zheng both agreed and disapproved of this kind of education method. The result of completely ignoring it was that Fang Zheng had been wild for so many years. When he grew up, he was still talking about trains and swearing. Although he also realized some philosophies of life and principles of life, he
After all, he is an ordinary child with no higher education. No matter how much Zen Master Yizhi does, how much can he be expected to understand on his own? As for his approval, it is because Zen Master Yizhi gave him a happy childhood and has always been sincere.
No change, he is still him, still the same Founder!
Even if the system suddenly appeared and gave him some shackles, it soon became irrelevant. He couldn't curse. Although Fang Zheng would occasionally explode, not cursing didn't seem to affect his life. As for maintaining the master's demeanor in front of others.
, this is already a required course for Fang Zheng. No matter what, pretend to be a good master, accumulate more merits, and strive to return to secular life as soon as possible!
Thinking about himself, and then looking at Red Boy, Fang Zheng became more and more sure of his teaching direction. The current Red Boy is more aggressive than he was back then, so he must be beaten appropriately and his thoughts of murder must be forcibly suppressed. Then he can
Gradually guide and influence, and the rest depends on how far he can realize it. If he realizes it early, he will be liberated early, and he will realize it late. Let him end his life here...
To be honest, Fang Zheng didn't have much confidence that he would be able to influence this fierce red boy...
During lunch, Honghai'er didn't eat at all, and just sat there in a daze.
"Jing Xin, why don't you eat?" Fang Zheng asked.
Hong Hai'er held up his chin and looked forward with disgust and said: "I've eaten enough. Although I don't vomit anymore, but... I'm not interested in seeing them. I really don't understand you. Don't you get tired of eating these every day?"
There is no delicious meat among these white rice and rotten vegetable leaves. Master, I saw that the monks on Lingshan Mountain can eat meat. How come you can’t eat meat anymore when you are here? Are you also attracted by that old demon..."
Fang Zheng: "Huh?!"
Honghai'er immediately changed his words and said, "Have you been deceived by the Bodhisattva?"
Upon hearing this, Lone Wolf also looked at Fang Zheng secretly. Although the crystal rice is delicious, Lone Wolf is still a wolf after all, and he still has some thoughts about meat.
Fang Zheng knew that Lone Wolf must have thought about this question before, but he just didn't dare to ask. Since Red Boy brought up the topic today, he didn't mind talking about it.
Fang Zheng put down his chopsticks, sat up straight and said, "Do you know why monks don't eat meat?"
Hong Hai'er rolled his eyes and said, "If I knew, would I still ask you?"
Fang Zheng ignored him and looked at the lone wolf, monkey, and squirrel. As expected, these three guys shook their heads. Fang Zheng then continued: "The Buddhist scripture "Guangben of Precepts" clearly states: Buddhism has no rules about vegetarianism. Buddhism prohibits eating vegetarian food.
Yes, it is "meat". This meat is not our current concept, which refers to animal foods such as chicken, duck, fish and meat. The meat we are talking about now is called "xing" in Buddhism, not "meat". In the Buddhist scriptures, the word "meat" is not
When pronouncing hun, it should be pronounced as un, which means smoked, referring to vegetables with a smoky smell. "Meat is the smelly vegetable." The "Brahma Net Sutra" is more specific: "If a Buddhist is not allowed to eat five pungent things, such as garlic and onions,
, Ci Cong, Lan Cong, Xingqu are the five pungent vegetables. "Meat is these five vegetables. Note that the five pungent ones here do not only refer to certain types of vegetables, but refer to all spicy vegetables in general. Therefore, as long as they are
Spicy vegetables cannot be eaten.
The word meat comes from the head of grass instead of from the side of meat, which shows that the original meaning of meat is a plant rather than an animal, so the early monks were allowed to eat meat.
However, there are always exceptions.
More than 1,400 years ago, changes took place here under Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of Liang in the Southern Dynasties.
Xiao Yan himself is a Buddhist. To what extent does he believe in Buddhism? In order to become a monk, it can be said that he has racked his brains. He does not need the world or the beauties in the harem. As long as he can become a monk, he can do anything. He even calls himself the "Three Treasures"
"Slave", what's even more outrageous is that in order to be able to be a monk with peace of mind, he directly gave himself up to the temple, which was the Tongtai Temple at that time...
However, at that time, the only person in charge of the world was the emperor, and there was no deputy emperor who could manage the government while the emperor was reciting sutras. For a while, the whole country was in chaos. The ministers were also helpless. They held numerous conferences and small meetings, no matter what
No matter how capricious the emperor is, this country still has to take care of it! So everyone thought about it over and over again, and finally came up with a way to redeem the emperor!
So, these ministers took the money and sent it to Tongtai Temple, and forcibly redeemed the emperor Xiao Yan. However, this emperor was also a weirdo. You redeem me? Then I will give up myself! The ministers also followed
If he does it, I will redeem it if you give it up! After all, the money belongs to the country!
This back-and-forth has given Tongtai Temple an advantage. Tongtai Temple is not able to do anything like this! The current emperor believes in Buddhism. If the emperor is changed, if he is unhappy and he is rich, he may have an operation on them.
.However, Xiao Yan only wanted to be a monk, and no one could do anything about it.
This shows how obsessed Xiao Yan is with Buddhism. Later, when he saw a prohibition on killing in the book, he thought that it was not enough to prohibit the killing of living things. Without buying and selling, there would be no killing and no one would eat.
Kill? So he issued a ban prohibiting monks in the world from eating meat. At the same time, he extended this rule to the gods and ancestors of heaven and earth, and all enjoyed the treatment of monks. In other words, in the future, three pig heads cannot be used in sacrifices to heaven and earth, gods, and ancestors.
Always change it to pig head or pork made of flour.
It was also from that time that there was a rule that monks did not eat meat. However, after all, the Southern Dynasty only lasted a few years, and it never unified the country, so its influence was far from reaching the level of influencing future generations.
However, when Kumarajiva later translated Buddhist scriptures, he added not eating meat to the Bodhisattva precepts. However, the original Bodhisattva precepts had long been lost. The Bodhisattva precepts seen by later generations were all translated by Kumarajiva, so what they saw was natural.
It’s about quitting eating meat. But it’s just a recommendation, not a mandatory rule. After all, Kumarajiva also married his cousin. But this is the beginning of expanding publicity, and its influence is very wide.
It became a mandatory rule that monks should not eat meat when Zen Buddhism flourished in the Tang Dynasty. Zen Buddhism's "Baizhang Qinggui" clearly stipulated that monks should not eat meat. However, at the beginning, it was only for warrior monks, and later the requirement was imposed on all monks.
Even so, whether monks can eat meat should be treated individually according to different situations, and no generalizations should be made.
Buddhism is divided into Mahayana and Hinayana. Mahayana is about saving people with one mind and using self-salvation as a means to save others. Therefore, no meat can be eaten. This is Xiao Yan's theory. If you don't eat, you won't kill.
Hinayana seeks to save oneself rather than save others, and allows eating three kinds of "pure meat". The "three pure meats" are: "One is killed by someone who does not see it with my eyes; secondly, someone who does not hear someone kills for me; thirdly, someone who kills without any suspicion of killing for me."
”.
For "sick monks", that is, sick monks, humanitarian policies and special care are implemented, and all kinds of meat can be eaten. Today, monks from India, Sri Lanka and other countries, as well as a few Mongolian, Tibetan, Dai and other Chinese
All ethnic monks are allowed to eat meat."
"Master, I understand, we are Mahayana Buddhism, right? We want to save people, so we can't eat meat!" The squirrel was the first to raise his paw and shouted.
