Monks can't eat eggs ... can monks drink milk Can monks eat shrimp and cuttlefish? What is the definition of food?

"Don't eat meat or fish" is a small precept of Mahayana Bodhisattva. The so-called "fishy smell" refers to the meat and blood of animals. "Meat" refers to the fact that although it belongs to plants, it will be angry when eaten raw and greedy when cooked, so it is named meat. Specifically, it refers to onion, garlic, leek, coriander and small root garlic (individual statements are different). Because Mahayana pedestrians are merciful to all sentient beings and do not eat the flesh and blood of all sentient beings; I don't eat meat because I'm worried about learning Buddhism. Buddhists should cut their meat thoroughly. If they can't completely cut off the fishy smell, they will only eat Sanjing meat, because the commandment of the conversion law is not to harm all beings, and eating meat is the same as killing.

Practitioners who are also ordained are not allowed to drink milk.
