Shamans Tinhvan lecture about what resonates through his fasting

Shamans Tinhvan the invitation of the host interviews famous Ly Tinh Ngoc satellite broadcaster human world.

Shamans Tinhvan interview invitation of the host Ly Tinh Ngoc famous "satellite TV By the time", to share ideas and eating habits. Believe that dialogue following the spiritual freedom will revive the spirit of wisdom has been hidden for so long in the heart of everyone.

Reason Jade: Please ask France, his fasting How long is it?

Mage: I'm a vegetarian from birth until now. I grew up having the chaos, the food was very scarce, so I've eat barley porridge residue, each busy day three often eat bean roots instead of rice in fear of terror! Then I left home at age 12, while living daily in the temple, but still eat porridge instead of rice, one month less than a few pieces of tofu or vegetarian food. If today is blessed with a few pieces of trash we put into the pot tofu stir fried fresh and delicious, without firewood, bring them out of the sun, even the sparrow also often fly food. They even defecation and urination in common that should you eat a lot of oxen, but, to a certain extent it also tastes salty food.

Live years like that but there is no disease. I think, perhaps every day before meals for Buddha over pay, whereby the protection of the Buddhas blessing.

Ly Tinh Ngoc: present seem vegetarianism has become a pretty popular culture, beyond including Chinese culture, also extended to European and American countries. So he can speak a little overview vegetarian culture is not it?

Wizardry: Currently prevailing world culture (a) vegetarian, vegetarian many thanks that abundant health, beautiful body. According to the study of medicine, fasting is good for health, and it also increases the resistance, cultivating peaceful mood of compassion. The Sayadaws by mental fasting should they extremely comfortable, why? The most important point of fasting is to foster compassion, from the purified soul descending to anger, to reach a state of peace and liberation.

For vegetarian culture of the West. As I understand it, in the U.S. there is a neighborhood just for selling vegetarian food, not for sale fishy foods (salt), though they are not Buddhists, all just standing on the health aspects that extended fasting. Although Buddhism promotes vegetarianism quite early, but the dark period of the Buddha is not a vegetarian, because at that time based on the mode of begging real "coast map exploitation bowl" - the faithful worship what they eat the only. There are two reasons why Buddhist vegetarian advocacy issues:

Confucian saying: " To any, no impatient reviews which death; cultural periods, impatient ants public humiliation "- meaning that animals are living, not the heart to see animals killed; hear animal noises, bear to eat animal meat.

In Buddhist scriptures also mention the problem do not want the loss of seeds of compassion, because compassion is not to kill the animals.

However some have argued that plants also have life, in love. If told not to kill, not kill, do not kill animals new species right. In fact, the life of the plants known as "premises" means there is a chance they may grow up different species of life, life is a species of "useful life" (mean). For example, when you see pigs, horses, buffalo, and goats are killed, we felt extremely frightened, but the plants are "insensitive", while we have the response of the living dead, but no suffering funny feeling, so assign the killing has "property" and "insensitive".

Eating vegetarian, in addition to stem from compassion, the most important thing is to respect all life all beings.

Fasting makes people always face of compassion and happiness.

Ly Tinh Ngoc : Eating vegetarian, in addition to help yourself have good health, there are more benefits can?

Mage: You see now some people eat and fishy stuff all sorts of things, called the evolution of fish lived thirty or seafood ten for something and so on, making the mind becomes complete metamorphosis Full.

There are some parents who go out often catch small crabs or small fish for children to play, there are some who overturn fish, others shelled out to play until death alone, as that will make these kids from small orders into the habit of not respect the lives of other species. We did not know how much precious life, so later grow up to be more and do not respect the life of all things, even evil deeds such as murder can happen.

Buddhism does not encourage all people to be vegetarian, but the policy should not kill. We can buy commercially available foods to eat, but not killing yourself. Parents should teach their children, from an early age should form the habit of respect for life is precious, to have a habit of loving the little lives and little animals.

So I see the current education family, the first thing we should teach children respect for life, making life-loving children of all species, so for the new social features of step change.

Ly Tinh Ngoc: Research Report of a magazine that: If the world people are vegetarians, this world will be no more poverty, more common in crop crisis. His Shamans have to think on this matter?

Mage: I'm a vegetarian all these years should be deeply felt better vegetarians than the fishy food quality (salinity). Vegetarians will be gradually reduced iron, by now from Taiwan pretty heavy now makes me feel very painful! In today's society, people eat fresh swallow things like monkey brains, snake gallbladder lot, they look like how karma can improve the characteristics of the society!

Reason Jade: For those in different areas, have different religious context should culinary culture certainly differences. For example, say the followers of Islam do not eat pork, followers of Hinduism is not eat beef so on. For vegetarians there are always differences between the cultures of other religions. Ask the Wizard, How do you take a look for this problem?

Wizardry: Between fasting and unified religion is inherently difficult. But basically I feel that religion can do is always to respect life, love lives and protect the lives of all beings.

Ngoc reason: There are many people who had studied Buddhism very diligent, they are also vegetarian, but after hearing the Tantric practice the eating, so they immediately practice the tantric. Then someone asked him why practicing Tantric Tantric he told very well, can be eaten, can immediately become a Buddha?

Wizardry: Once upon a time in the Qing Tibet Plateau can not grow plants such as vegetables, transportation and travel very difficult or, in such situations can not be avoided, they had to take the meat to the Formal Dining. But now vegetarian culture in Taiwan developed quite extensively, should be able to switch to a vegetarian diet, we should not want to say that from the Tantric shall eat meat, I think that like really not very satisfactory. Vegetarian first is that we respect the life of all things, and besides that a calm mind.

Reason Jade: If not used to eating vegetarian, nonetheless methods to improve. As there are some people who eat vegetables and side dishes of meat or mood of humiliation, this two ways food can be affordable, for Shamans clarify?

Mage: You're very right. To improve methods of fasting, we can choose the first day, fifteen or continent brother to the vegetarian, or just eat vegetables daily mood bowl of meat or flesh can be.

Vegetables and side dishes of meat : Like continent to Hui Neng after Don treatment, to avoid medical people are looking to paintings won all that he had to hide in the bowl group hunters to fifteen years. Meet the group at the hunters catch animals brought food, Hui Neng flee to the mountains to find a few wild leaves or vegetables, then put in the pot to cook, then everyone teased him meat again not eat, Hui Neng said: "I just like to eat vegetables and meat inside!" Therefore, Patriarch Hui Neng who understand the true meaning of fasting, really understand what it means to practice. The so-called true compassion is not certain based on what food and not eat anything. What is the meaning of fasting is not losing seeds of compassion, so the Buddhist not only vegetarian only.

Three pure humiliation : Do not see the murder, did not hear the animals were killed, not killed for his special, this is called the "three pure humiliation."

Reason Jade: I have a few friends when fasting, just listen to the flavor of the meat, the head they feel very uncomfortable, why is there such phenomena?

Mage: Because they do not know, take me for example. One time I came to Japan, time believers cook a bowl of noodles invited me to eat, just eat in, oh, a smell extremely unpleasant! Why smell like? This is nothing special devotees like entertaining guests, so I had to close my eyes nose and swallowed, then know that the Japanese people have a habit of bringing salmon small tunnel into sauces and add flavor in it. So I ate like that is guilty? No, but I still vegetarian, sir.

There are some vegetarian but certain notion that they have to use the dishes or pots had never cooked meats new. Way to think of it, is incorrect. Fasting is not doing strange things, how that food makes us feel important new pure heart. So we are vegetarians, it is necessary to create the depression and burden for others.

Ly Tinh Ngoc: Many vegetarian food also made ​​into shaped like chickens, ducks, fish, etc. For vegetarians like manner, Shamans idea?

Wizardry: For those who take vegetarian food into shapes like blades (saline), before I used to feel very uncomfortable. Cause I think that vegetarians are nurturing compassion, if we eat vegetarian but have always thought to smell (salt) can not be considered as ultimate. So each time I see the table shows things like vegetarian chicken, vegetarian duck, vegetarian fish, meat, vegetarian, smoked windshield & Fish Fruits of fire, etc. I refused to eat. But one day, I saw devotees eat it with amusement, suddenly I thought: time profile of the Buddha entered the door they probably can not remove old habits, so new this demand, just in their hearts do not have the kind of chicken, meat or fish, well then, there is nothing to hate them?

Therefore, we should not pay attention to how messy like doing. However, some vegetarian food created by the fishy smell too much, then we should not .
