Please tell me, master who is proficient in Buddhism, whether we who study Buddhism at home are guilty of eating meat and drinking, and make it clear in advance that we don't want to eat after studying Buddhism. The following is reproduced online. Personally, I think the explanation is more detailed:

When Sakyamuni was alive, he was allowed to eat "three clean meats", that is, he did not kill for me, did not smell its taste, and did not doubt its nature. At present, Southern Buddhism, which is dominated by Hinayana Buddhism, and Tibetan Buddhism, which belongs to Mahayana Buddhism, have not banned eating meat. Mahayana Buddhism is popular in China. Since Liang Wudi, monks have cut meat according to Mahayana classics, which has become a custom in the future. Not eating meat is stipulated because of the great compassion of Mahayana Buddhism. Mahayana Buddhism regards all living beings as parents and cannot bear to eat meat to nourish themselves. Although Tibet and other areas where Tibetan Buddhism is prevalent also belong to Mahayana, there is basically no farming and animal husbandry for a living, so there is no meat cutting.

Buddhism advocates that monks don't eat meat (vegetarian) and don't eat anything after noon (fasting), which is also to meet the needs of monks to practice meditation, because eating too much meat is easy to cause physical and mental desires and delusions, and eating after noon affects meditation practice at night. At home, people are busy at work during the day, so they may not meditate. They should adjust their diet according to their physical condition. Han Buddhism also advocates vegetarianism at home, but it does not require cutting meat, let alone not eating after noon.

Q: Some people say that Buddhists can eat meat, that "the Buddhist precepts only say that it is forbidden to kill and eat meat" and that "you can eat three clean meats when eating meat". You said in Modern Causality that eating meat will not only make mistakes in the future, but also bring many diseases to yourself in this life. Which statement is correct?

A: The story in A Record of Modern Causality is a small part of countless examples I have personally encountered. Moreover, almost every day for more than ten years, examples have appeared in front of my eyes. The harm of eating meat is so great that all kinds of pain caused to us can't be described.

The so-called three clean meats can be eaten, which is a convenient word that the Buddha said to those who believed in Buddhism from the beginning because they could not eat meat for a while. It means the second broken meat in the Lengga Sutra (translated by Bodhi Six Fingers). As this person keeps chanting Buddhism and realizing the Tao, he will naturally give up smoking completely, just like persuading a person who smokes two boxes of cigarettes a day to give up smoking, he can't give up smoking completely at once. First persuade him to smoke one box a day, and then half a box. Of course, people who make up their minds will give up smoking, drinking and eating meat immediately. This is the behavior of Mahayana practitioners. Mahayana entered the Shurangama Sutra (translated by Siksananda) and said: Bodhisattva loves all sentient beings as much as her own body. Why should we consider it?

Under the respect of the prince, Prince Siddhartha left the splendor and practiced asceticism until he became enlightened under the Bodhi tree and became the Buddha of Sakyamuni. He is the only one in the world. Why did so many people learn from him later? Because the Buddhism he talked about is the truth of the universe, which has been proved by three thousand years' practice. The Buddha stated long ago that you should not eat the flesh of all beings, and Liang Wudi had never advocated this before you came to China. In the four clear instructions of the Shurangama Sutra and the meat products covered in the Shurangama Sutra, the reasons why people can't eat the meat of all beings and the disciples of the Buddha can eat the five clean meats at that time are clearly explained. If someone says today that "Buddha didn't say he didn't eat meat", it's probably because he can't read Buddhist scriptures. Now, for the convenience of readers, the teachings of the Buddha's four purification methods are recorded as follows:

"Ananda, and the world, six sentient beings, their hearts do not kill, not with their life and death. To practice samadhi, you must work hard, kill your heart, and dust will not come out. No matter how smart you are, if you keep killing before meditation, you will fall into the path of God. Top people are powerful ghosts, and mid-range products are flying hags, handsome ghosts and so on. The inferior goods should be Luo Cha. And all the disciples of ghosts and gods, each of whom is called the Supreme Way. After my death, there were many ghosts and gods in the last law, which prevailed in the world, claiming that eating meat led to Bodhi Road. Ananda, I made the monks eat five clean meats, which are all my magical powers and have no roots. If you steam brahmin land and add sand and gravel, grass and vegetables will not grow. I was endowed with the power of great compassion, and because of its pseudonym, you got its flavor. But after the Tathagata perished, the meat eater was named Shizi. You should know that you are a meat eater, and your heart is samadhi. You are all in Luo Cha, and you will eventually sink into the sea of life and death, not a disciple of the Buddha. If so, people will kill each other, eat each other and not eat each other. What is the cloud leading to the Three Realms? You taught the world to practice samadhi, and the second time you killed life, it was the name of the Buddha before the Buddha, and the second time you decided to be pure and clear. So, Ananda, if you keep killing people and practicing meditation, for example, someone plugs their ears and shouts to tell others not to listen, this is called hiding. Pure bhikkhu bodhisattva, walk on the road, don't step on the grass, pull with your hands. What a pity to eat the flesh and blood of all beings. If monks refuse to accept silk from the East, and this is the land, and their boots are full of fur and cheese, if they are monks, Yu Shizhen will take them off, pay their debts and not travel to the Three Realms. Why? Serving his identity is all about his fate. For example, a man eats hundreds of valleys on his land and never leaves the ground again. I will make body and mind, for all sentient beings, if body, body and mind are two ways, I will say that people are really liberated. I said, this is called Buddha's theory, but if I don't say it, Papman said.

The reason why the Buddha used his divine power to transform the "five clean meats" without life roots (as opposed to the "three clean meats"-no killing, no killing, many self-deaths, and bird remnants) was because the Indian weather was hot at that time, the land was hot and humid, and most of them were sand and stones, and vegetation could not grow. But now the transformed animals have no life roots, and they are fake meat, not real meat, just like the Monkey King used in Journey to the West. In the city's "Hokkekyo", you only need to think about it. The birds in the Amitabha Sutra are also materialized. So in the special environment of ancient times, when the Buddha was alive, there was a group of monks. In the natural environment where it is impossible to abstain from meat, the Buddha had to use his divine power to cross over animals without roots. After the Buddha's nirvana, Buddhism spread all over the world, and no animal can be realized by the power of the Buddha. Why do we use the excuse that when the Buddha was alive, the people gave him what he wanted to eat, so that today's Buddhist disciples can break the commandments set by the Buddha in those days? The Buddha told Buddhists in the Sanskrit that there are ten Mu Cha commandments. The first is killing: according to the Buddha, if you are a Buddha, if you commit suicide, you should teach people to kill, facilitate killing, respect killing, regard killing as fun, and even curse killing, killing for a career, killing for a life, killing for a law, killing for a career, and even all living people, you should not kill. It is the bodhisattva's sin to have compassion and filial piety at all times in order to help all sentient beings and kill life with self-indulgence.

Regarding the meat-eating precept, the Buddha said: If the Buddha eats meat, all beings must not eat meat. When people eat meat, they cut off the seeds of compassion and Buddha nature. All beings abandon it when they see it, so bodhisattvas are not allowed to eat the flesh of all beings. There is no sin in eating meat.

Let's look at the mother of Guangmu girl in Tibetan scriptures. Isn't it because "she only likes to eat fish and turtles, eat fish and turtles, eat more of her own children, or fry or cook, eat at will, and count her life countless times?" Fall into evil interests?

No need for examples. The statement that "Buddha didn't teach us not to eat meat" is completely nonsense. Masters through the ages have told us that "going deep into the classics is as wise as the sea." Master Yin Guang, recognized as the 13th ancestor of Pure Land Sect, told us to "abstain from meat" (see "Master Yin Guangwen Chao" for details). Nowadays, reading the Shurangama Sutra is a top priority, among which "four kinds of pure and clear methods" and "fifty kinds of evil spirits" are the most important parts. You must also read the Shurangama Sutra and Brahma Sutra several times and understand them deeply, so that you will have the ability to distinguish between true and false. As for those who preach that Buddhist disciples also eat meat, for example, in the Shurangama Sutra, it is said that "spend the night in a place where there is no interest, no saints, no knowledge of Buddhism, and no disciples of future saints, so that you can see the Buddha."

Although the Buddha is no longer alive, the five clean and three clean meats are still clean, and the teachings of the Buddha are still valid. Since the Buddha could understand the difficulty of becoming a monk at that time, he must also understand the obstacles for all living beings to learn Buddhism now. For all living beings, he also realized the five clean meats without life roots, because the Buddha's compassion is equal.

There are 84,000 Buddhist laws, each of which points to the road to becoming a Buddha. And vegetarianism is only one of the 84 thousand doors, there is no need to be vegetarian! Schools, like universities, offer many majors and courses, which can be chosen according to their own conditions. For example, if you can't do math, you can not study science, liberal arts, liberal arts and science, or you can study art and graduate from college. Moreover, those who study literature and art are of high quality, reaching the level of university graduation, as good as those who study science. There are 84,000 Buddhist teachings, which are applicable to all beings with different origins. There is no one-size-fits-all method, only one vegetarian has to learn "science". No matter what method you learn, you will eventually become a Buddha.

Learning Buddhism can be done step by step, on one condition, once you learn it. After studying Buddhism for a long time, the conditions are met, and it is not too late to be a vegetarian. If you don't have the conditions, you can't force it, otherwise it will be counterproductive.

Therefore, good men and women who are not ready to learn Buddhism should never be afraid to eat meat or step into Buddhism. Buddhism is vast, and all beings have it, not just people who don't eat meat. Buddhism is based on compassion, getting rid of troubles and pursuing happiness in life. It is based on becoming a Buddha, not on becoming a herbivore who does not eat meat. Where should I be a vegetarian?

A brother who is a beginner in Buddhism envies the merits of being a vegetarian and wants to learn to be a vegetarian. If he has a point, he will do it. Don't be stubborn or importune. After practicing for a long time, compassion rises and naturally comes. Chopped meat is natural and not difficult at all. At that time, it won't be hard to eat meat, it won't be hard to eat meat, and the meat will naturally be cut off. Vegetarian food has all the nutrients needed for life growth and is absolutely harmless to health. Vegetarianism is just a change of habit, and it doesn't mean a decrease in nutrition. Physical discomfort is caused by physical unaccustomed, and it is definitely not caused by insufficient nutrition. Eat for a long time and get used to it.

Senior brothers who have been studying Buddhism for a long time and have the ability to recite Buddhism, are vegetarians and have great merits, and should strive to pursue them. Vegetarian food is best if conditions permit. If conditions are not available, efforts should be made to create conditions. If it really doesn't work, at least stick to the three clean and five clean. In many Mahayana classics, the Buddha praised the benefits of being vegetarian and eating meat. When the conditions are available, Buddhist disciples should follow the teachings and strive to gain the merits of practicing. You can't lose big because of small things, and you can't miss the merits of practice because of greed. Not cost-effective!
