Do you have to eat vegetarian food after taking the Five Precepts?

When our wisdom is opened, the path to energy consumption will also change.

Question: Master, after taking the Five Precepts, do you have to eat vegetarian food?

Master Chuanxi’s teachings: Many people with rich knowledge in Buddhism who are sitting will know that taking the Five Precepts does not necessarily mean eating vegetarian food, because the first item in the Five Precepts is: not killing, not harming sentient beings. He does not mean that he must not eat sentient beings.Therefore, there is a Buddhist called "Three Purified Meat", which is still in the primary stage, the primary stage of our practice of Buddhism.Including eating vegetarian food, it doesn’t mean: I’m vegetarian, I must find a very high-end vegetarian restaurant, and I want to pick some delicious food to eat.

From the Buddhist whole, we can understand that a person absorbs his energy, and energy is divided into high and low levels.We eat meat not only belongs to low-level energy, but also harms others and other sentient beings. The negative nature of this energy is very great.Even eating vegetarian food is also a low-level energy.So when our wisdom is opened, the path to energy consumption will also change.To intake energy, you don’t have to eat it with your mouth.Confucius said in the past: When I hear a good music, I will go around the beam for three days, but I don’t know what meat tastes like for three days, right?When your ears get such beautiful music, such a highly literate music, the energy it conveys even makes you forget what your mouth is eating, and the same is true when you have a good nose.

Even our brain, the most fundamental organ that absorbs energy is the brain.The mouth is just a channel for low-level energy absorption.So when a person is in a state of truth and uses his brain to absorb energy, he doesn't even need to eat it.If you know, you will know why the Buddha did not eat during the six years, sometimes at most hemp and wheat.I also learned from some great practitioners that when they were in seclusion, they would eat a little at first, and then drink a little water. Then they would not have to enter a drop of water for several consecutive years, so they would have lived a good life.There is a boy in Nepal who has published all the newspapers and has caused a sensation all over the world.So many people watched him, and even the photographer kept looking at him with a camera day and night, not eating, not eating, or drinking water for half a year.He has become a news figure and a tourist attraction, and tens of thousands of people go to see it every day.So in this, I think that we have explained your question more deeply from the Buddhist concept of energy absorption.Amitabha.
