Five meats and three evils were taboo in China's ancient fasting diet, which was first praised by Taoism and Confucianism and later introduced by foreign religions. Five kinds of meat: garlic, garlic, apricot koji, planting garlic and onion are five kinds of meat in the west, and leek, garlic, Yuntai, coriander and coriander are five kinds of meat in Taoism. Three evils: three kinds of meat that Taoism does not eat: goose, dog and turtle.
Luo Yuan's Er Ya Yi in Song Dynasty said: "Garlic, small garlic, apricot koji, planting garlic and scallion are five kinds of western poultry meat, while leek, garlic, Yuntai, coriander and coriander are five kinds of Taoist poultry meat."
Li Mingzhizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica Vegetables and Garlic: "Five meats and five spices are pungent and smelly. Garlic, garlic, leek, rape and coriander are five poultry meat; Taoism regards leek, onion, garlic, rape and coriander as five kinds of meat. " Note that "onion" is not among the five poultry dishes in Taoism. "Three dislikes" refer to dog meat, goose and mullet.
Zhu Ming Guozhen's "Zhuang Yong's Sketch Yi Qi Qi": "As the saying goes, there are five kinds of meat and three kinds of disgusting words, which are extremely difficult to understand.
Sun Zhenren's song says that heaven hates geese, earth hates dogs and water hates mullet. Goose has the feeling of husband and wife, dog has the friendship of master, mullet has the loyalty of monarch and minister, so it is impossible to tolerate food. "
There are three evils in Taoism. Heaven hates geese, earth hates dogs and water hates turtles. These three kinds of meat must not be eaten!
In addition, there are many other versions of "three don't eat" or even "four don't eat" (that is, cows, dogs, mullet and geese don't eat).
If you don't say indecent things, don't eat five meats and three evils; Don't do indecent things, be calm; Don't want indecent things in your heart, it's clean inside and outside, which can be said to be pure and white. In short, see no evil, don't listen to evil, don't speak evil, don't move evil, don't eat evil, and the heart, mouth and body are one.
Covering the five kinds of meat, three evils, tobacco and alcohol are unconscious things: the five kinds of meat (onion, garlic, leek, glutinous rice, glutinous rice) are born of unhealthy qi between heaven and earth, and people who hate it will get tired if they eat it for a long time (onion hurts the kidney, leek hurts the liver, leek hurts the spleen, garlic hurts garlic, glutinous rice hurts the lung). Three kinds of disgust (birds in the sky, animals on the earth and aquatic animals in the water) are crazy things. Eating it is easy to hurt the original spirit of Sambo, and it is even more harmful to Yin De, so monks don't eat it; Alcohol is the root of promiscuity; Smoke also consumes vitality and damages Yuanling. Therefore, monks should abstain from eating five kinds of meat and three kinds of cigarettes and alcohol, so as to clear away turbidity, nourish yin and tonify yang, and be self-evident.
The Buddha said, "Whoever kills will feed the people. If people don't eat, they won't kill. " Being a vegetarian can make many people refrain from carnal behavior and cultivate compassion and fraternity. Mencius said: "A gentleman is a beast, and he can't bear to see his life or his death; I can't bear to eat its meat when I hear its voice. " Many cattle farmers don't eat beef, and dog owners don't eat dog meat. Because these animals are affectionate and righteous, they can't bear to kill them and eat their meat. Lu Fangweng's poem: "The flesh and blood are delicious, but the general is bitter and bitter. Put yourself in the other's shoes, who will cut himself with a knife? " Man is the soul of all things, how can he build his happiness on the suffering of animals?
It is a well-known theorem since ancient times to pay back debts and kill people for their lives. People hurt us, but we refuse to accept, fight and argue; I hurt him, maybe he is willing to go easy on me? Therefore, after clearing your mouth, you can stop planting reasons and go to the end. Unclear mouth, unclear career, why take off reincarnation? If you don't keep the precepts, your life is not solid. Why life and death? As the saying goes, "if a man is a man, his wife is a man;" If he practices more, he will gain more; If he practices less, he gets the same from fellow initiates. If he does not practice, he can't practice. " You did a good job, and no one else got a piece of it. If you commit a crime, others will not be able to replace you. Therefore, if you want to avoid hell, you must get rid of nausea; If you want to avoid hungry ghosts, don't be greedy first; If you want to avoid wild animals, don't eat their meat; If you want to get someone, first learn to be filial; If you want to live in the sky, you must hold the five commandments; To become a Buddha, we must first use a clear heart; If the mind is clear, the cause and effect are not ambiguous, and if the sex is seen, it will become a Buddha.
