Buddhism was introduced into China in the period of Emperor Han Ming, and this brand-new religious belief of Buddhism gradually spread to the whole country in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Among them, Liang Wudi, the founder of Nanliang Dynasty, one of the Southern Dynasties, had a great influence on the development of Buddhism. Liang Wudi is a famous Buddhist advocate in history. Because of his strong belief in Buddhism, he has not only been indifferent to women for decades, but also sacrificed himself to become a monk many times. In addition, the Buddhist commandment that people should not eat meat also comes from Liang Wudi.
What are the Buddhist rules for monks to eat? Don't get dirty, okay . One of them? Meat? It refers to five kinds of vegetables with spicy taste, such as garlic, onion and leek. Why does Buddhism not let monks eat these vegetables because of them? Raw food can make people hate, and cooked food can make people want to eat more? , is not conducive to practice. And then what? Something fishy? This word refers to meat. However, the rule that monks can't eat meat is not native to ancient Indian Buddhism, but comes from the later development of Buddhism in China.
Ancient Indian Buddhism because of its claims? Begging for food? Therefore, monks are not completely forbidden to eat meat. As long as the meat meets the requirements? Three clean meats (or five clean meats)? This condition is actually edible for monks. But later, because Liang Wudi in China believed in Buddhism very much, he ordered all monks in the country to be vegetarian to show their respect for the Buddha. Because of his orders, monks in China had to give up all the meat. Over time, monks were forbidden to eat meat, which became a fixed precept of Buddhism in China.
