What to do with meat at a dinner party? You can have a "meat side dish"

应酬有肉怎么办？你可以吃“肉边菜”

A lot of meat and fish at a dinner party? What do you do? You can eat the "meat side dish" with a smile.

                   ------ Zhuge Changqing

Hello, Mr Zhuge Changqing.

   I have made a vow to be a vegetarian, but I always come across meat dishes, fish and meat every day.

   Today, I couldn't help myself and ate meat, so I was really ashamed.

   What is wrong with this because I have to be considerate of others in my life?

   They must blame me. ...... What can I do to remedy this?

                                    A person who has studied Buddhism

Zhuge Changqing answers.

    Amitabha Buddha.

    1. It is very good that you have taken the vow to become a vegetarian. If you persevere, you will be blessed. Eating vegetarianism is not only good for your health, but also equal to indirectly releasing life. You can remember the formula: vegetarianism = indirect release of life.

    2. What do you do when you encounter a lot of meat and fish in your family and at social functions? Zhuge Changqing suggests: you can't stop people from eating meat, but you can "eat meat with vegetables". If people ask you why you don't eat meat, you can say something about weight loss, lean meat essence, etc., and it will be solved.

    If you break your vow to be a vegetarian, confess yourself, slap yourself a few times and criticise yourself. Then call on the living creatures such as fish and meat that you have eaten to participate in the almsgiving on it.

    4. Where does the eating of meat side dishes come from? From the Sixth Patriarch Huineng of Buddhist Zen.

   Back in the day, the Sixth Patriarch Huineng was living in seclusion in the mountains and was rescued by a hunter.

   When it was time to eat, the hunter cooked a pot of meat.

   At this point, the hunter asked the Sixth Patriarch Huineng, "Master, I will eat the meat, what will you do?"

   The Sixth Patriarch Huineng said, "It is very simple, please just put some mountain wild vegetables in the pot where the meat is being cooked, you eat the meat with the vegetables and I eat the meat with the vegetables, each to his own advantage."

   The hunter said, "Aren't you breaking the precept?

   The Sixth Patriarch Huineng said, "Amitabha Buddha, you eat the meat on the side of the vegetables and I eat the vegetables on the side of the meat, each taking what he needs, why have you broken the precept?"

   The hunter was greatly impressed and marvelled at Master Huineng's wisdom.

   The hunter later worshipped the Sixth Patriarch Huineng as his teacher and became his personal great disciple.

   So, as long as you do not eat meat, you are a vegetarian.

   5. Eating a vegetarian diet is healthier, prettier and more temperamental.

There are many benefits of a vegetarian diet, the greatest of which are.

Good health, good form, good wisdom and a fragrant body. The only way to know how good the benefits really are is to eat them yourself.

Practice is the only test of truth. Vegetarian food has all kinds of nutrients in it; otherwise, why do elephants, horses and cows, wild deer and goats they are not lacking in nutrients but are fit and healthy?

Elephants, who have never relied on meat for energy, are instead nature's number one Hercules!!!

Zhuge Changqing studied the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine to find the answer to eating vegetarianism for good health.

The nutrition supply process of the human body is as follows: after eating food, it is digested and turned into essence and vital energy, which is supplied to the body, and after many combinations of decomposition, various types of nutrients are produced to feed the body, so there is no so-called lack of nutrition when eating vegetarian food. This is the "essence".

Nowadays, many celebrities, politicians and athletes around the world are eating a vegetarian diet. If vegetarianism was bad for the body, would these celebrities be any more stupid?

    If those who have any doubts about eating vegetarian food, they can read more articles linked to the vegetarian culture on Zhuge Changqing's Sina blog. They are all systematically explained in there.

 Amitabha Buddha, Zhuge Changqing wishes all those who eat vegetarian food and do good deeds.

Good health, good fortune, prosperity, a soaring career and a leap of wisdom!

Zhuge Changqing blesses all those who are filial to their parents, do good deeds, give food, and donate scriptures for printing with great fortune and prosperity.

应酬当中遇到很多荤菜鱼肉？你怎么办？可以微笑着吃“肉边菜”。

                   ------ 诸葛长青

诸葛长青老师您好：

   我发愿全素，可是每天总会遇到荤菜、会遇到鱼类、肉类。

   今天控制不住，还吃了肉，真的很惭愧。
   因为生活中要顾及一下别人，这样会有什么不好？
   他们一定会怪我吧……我该怎么补救呢？
                                    一位学佛有缘者
诸葛长青解答：

    阿弥陀佛：

    1、你发愿吃素，非常好，持之以恒，必有福报。吃素不仅身体好，而且等于间接放生。你可以记住一个公式：吃素 = 间接放生。

    2、家庭中、应酬中会遇到很多荤菜、很多鱼肉，你怎么办呢？诸葛长青建议：别人吃肉你无法制止，你可以“吃肉边菜”。别人问你为何不吃肉，你就说说什么减肥啊、瘦肉精啊等等，就可以化解了。

    3、如果自己违反了吃素的誓言，就要忏悔自己，可以狠狠的打自己几下子耳光，批评一下自己就可以了。然后召请你吃过的鱼类、肉类等生灵参加施食就可以。
    4、肉边菜的吃法从哪里来呢？来自于佛教禅宗六祖惠能。

   当年，六祖惠能在山林中隐居，得到一位猎人的救助。

   到了吃饭时间，猎人煮了一锅肉。

   这时候，猎人问六祖惠能说：“大师，我吃肉，你怎么办？”

   六祖惠能说：“很简单，请你在煮肉的锅中放一些山野菜即可，你吃菜边肉，我吃肉边菜，各得其所。”

   猎人说，你这不是犯戒吗？

   六祖惠能说：“阿弥陀佛，你吃菜边肉，我吃肉边菜，各取所需，何曾犯戒？”

   猎人大为敬佩，叹服慧能大师的智慧。

   后来猎人拜六祖慧能为师，成为六祖惠能的贴身大弟子。

   所以，只要做到不吃肉类，就是吃素了。

   5、吃素食更健康、更漂亮、更有气质。

素食的好处很多，最大的好处是：

身体好、形貌好、智慧好、身体有香味。好处究竟有多好，只有亲自去吃才会知道。

实践是检验真理的唯一标准。素食里面有各类营养成分，否则，大象、马牛、野鹿、山羊他们为什么不缺营养，反而身体健壮呢？

大象，从来没有靠吃肉补充能量，反而是自然界第一大力士！！

诸葛长青研究了《黄帝内经》找到吃素身体好的答案。

人身体的营养供应程序是：吃了食物之后，食物被消化，变成精华、精气，供应到身体内部，经过多次分解组合，产生各类营养供养身体，所以吃素食不会出现所谓的缺营养。这就是“精气神”。

现在世界上很多明星、政界要人、运动员，都在吃素食。如果是素食对身体不好，这些名人，难道会更愚蠢吗？

    如果有缘者对吃素食有什么疑问，可以多看一些诸葛长青新浪博客素食文化链接文章。里面都做了系统的阐述。

 阿弥陀佛，诸葛长青祝福天下吃素行善者：

诸葛长青祝福天下孝敬父母、行善积德、放生施食、捐印经书的有缘者富贵吉祥、福报巨大。
