Question 1: What is the meaning of the 10th Ramadan in Buddhism? Just being a vegetarian for those ten days? First of all, vegetarianism is different from fasting.

According to the Brahma Sutra of the Bodhisattva, people who receive the Bodhisattva precept have to hold the Eight Views Pavilion six times a month, so there are six fasting days and then ten fasting days, in order to be more diligent.

Why don't you call these ten days ten vegetarian days instead of ten vegetarian days?

Generally speaking, we people don't know much about vegetarianism and fasting.

Vegetarian, that is, pure that day, only vegetarian, not killing.

However, fasting is not necessarily the case. This fast is the commandment of Baguanting. In addition to being a vegetarian, you must also abide by the eight commandments. The most important thing is not to eat after noon. This is called fasting.

Therefore, from a specific point of view, the tenth fast day is to observe the Baguan Pavilion for ten days.

If you stand on the popular understanding, ten days is vegetarian day, but this understanding is convenient to say. `

Question 2: What are the ten lent, the six lent, the Wang Shuo lent and the Moon lent? What should we observe and do? The ten-day fast in Buddhism comes from the Tibetan scriptures. The seventh death of the deceased is also from the Tibetan scriptures. It can be seen that what is said in the Tibetan scriptures is very important to our daily life. This is a concrete fact, this method and ksitigarbha bodhisattva benefit all beings. We read and experience carefully before we know what to do in life. 1 October: every month1day, 8th,14th,15th,18th, 23rd, 24th, 28th, 29th and 30th. What is Lent? Fasting means fasting the heart, which means cleaning the heart. Fasting has nothing to do with vegetarianism When the Buddha was alive, the way of life of the monk group was to hold a bowl, eat once a day and spend the night under a tree. You can eat whatever others give you. At present, monks in Thailand and Sri Lanka are still begging for help. They are not vegetarians. They eat whatever the donors give them. Of all Buddhists in the world, only Buddhists in China are vegetarians. In addition to China, Buddhists all over the world eat Sanjin meat-if you don't see it, don't smell it, don't kill it, because I don't kill it. This is what the Buddha said in his commandments. The origin of Buddhist vegetarianism in China is that Liang Wudi read the Shurangama Sutra, saying that "Bodhisattva is merciful and cannot bear to eat the flesh of all beings". He was so moved that he became a vegetarian. He is the great protector of Buddhism, hoping that monks will respond and evolve into vegetarian characteristics of Buddhism in China. When we go abroad, others treat us warmly and cook vegetarian food for us. Don't think the freshly cooked meat in the pot is dirty, it's too much. I don't eat after noon, because noon means eleven to one, and I can't eat after noon. At home, fellow initiates observe the precepts of the Eight Officials Pavilion, mainly fasting, in order to purify the soul. People should maintain their bodies, and when they are well, they can improve their practice. Since ancient times, practitioners are mostly young people, old and frail, and extremely tired of seven buddha's play. How can he not be distracted? The young man didn't sleep for seven days and seven nights, and he was full of energy, so he can rest assured. Master Liu Zu was only twenty-four years old when he got the mantle of Five Zus, and he became a Buddha when he saw nature. The result of spiritual practice is mostly before the age of 40. You have physical strength and spirit, so you should cherish your time while you are young. People in China often say that breakfast should be good and nutritious; Eat full at noon, but not too full; Eating less at night will help you sleep, and it will also help if you meditate at night. Therefore, it is very reasonable not to eat during lent. It is wrong to think that malnutrition will occur without eating a meal. The human body is a machine that can move and needs energy. Diet is the source of energy, which can keep the machine (body) running. Everyone has different physique and special energy consumption, so you should eat more and make up more; Save fuel, just add a little, and it works normally. Where is the energy consumption? I told fellow initiates that 95% was spent on delusions. There is less paranoia and less energy, so one meal a day is enough for people with pure hearts. Thinking all day long, I don't have enough to eat, and I have to eat snacks to supplement my energy. We know the truth. When the 10 Ramadan is fixed, the food demand will be reduced and the intake of nutrients will still be sufficient. If you think too much and study at lunch, you are asking for trouble, because if you eat too much every day and don't supplement enough nutrition, you will get sick and ruin your health. Some people hold their lunch, eat the weight of three meals in one meal, and get stomach trouble in a few days. This is the way to keep fit. The most important thing in Buddhism is health preservation. Its lifestyle, diet and daily life are the best ways to keep in good health, and it will really achieve longevity and immortality. It's a pity that we ignored it and didn't understand its spiritual intention. Although vegetarianism was not advocated by Buddha (it was advocated by Liang Wudi), today's medicine has proved that vegetarianism is indeed beneficial. Therefore, foreign vegetarian restaurants are getting more and more year by year, and foreigners are vegetarian for health. People who study Buddhism are vegetarian and must be in good health; If you are unhealthy, you think too much. The root of all diseases is delusion. If you have few delusions, it's easy to get better. The mind is the master, and mental health is easy to get physical health. In foreign countries, there is no lunar calendar, so it is not easy to observe the ten-day fast. I told fellow initiates abroad that it is not necessary to choose a fixed day to fast every Saturday and Sunday. As long as you practice cleansing for a few days a month, it will be of great help to your health and practice. This is the real intention of lent.

Ten-day fast (also known as Zhunti fast), Guanyin fast, Tibetan fast, and the date of fasting have all been indicated in the date;

Ramadan in June: if it is a big month, it is the eighth, fourteenth, fifteenth, twenty-third, twenty-ninth and thirtieth day of the lunar month; If it falls on the small moon, it is the eighth, fourteenth, fifteenth, twenty-third, twenty-eighth and twenty-ninth day of the lunar calendar;

Shuowangzhai: the first and fifteenth day of the first lunar month;

Ramadan: The first month, May and September of the lunar calendar last for three months every year. ...& gt& gt

Question 3: What is the meaning of the 10th Ramadan in Buddhism? First of all, vegetarianism is different from fasting.

According to the Brahma Sutra of the Bodhisattva, those who receive the Bodhisattva precept must hold the Baguan Pavilion six times a month, so there is a six-fasting day, and then there is a ten-fasting day for being more diligent.

Why don't you call these ten days ten vegetarian days instead of ten vegetarian days?

Generally speaking, we people don't know much about vegetarianism and fasting.

Vegetarian, that is, pure that day, only vegetarian, not killing.

However, fasting is not necessarily the case. This fast is the commandment of Baguanting. In addition to being a vegetarian, you must also abide by the eight commandments. The most important thing is not to eat after noon. This is called fasting.

Therefore, from a specific point of view, the tenth fast day is to observe the Baguan Pavilion for ten days.

If you stand on the popular understanding, ten days is vegetarian day, but this understanding is convenient to say. `

Question 4: What do you mean by fasting for six days and ten days? Liuzhai Day: Also called Liuzhai. It refers to the eighth, fourteenth, fifteenth, twenty-third, twenty-ninth and thirtieth days of each month (the twenty-eighth and twenty-ninth days of abortion). Monks come here on the 6th of every month, and Bussa says he will quit. The two monks accepted the precepts of the Eight Officials Pavilion at home on the 6th. Source: Fasting for six days [four heavenly scriptures plus one Agama] According to Naiposha's theory, people who fast for six days do not eat at noon. (1) The emperor released four heavenly kings, each ruling his own side. On the eighth day of every month, the four kings sent auxiliary ministers to observe the good and evil of the people all over the world. (Emperor Shi, Sanskrit Shi Huan Wei, Hua Yan can be a god. Anyone who talks about the release of the emperor, Fan Hua also gives a double lift. The four kings are the kings of the East, the South, the West and the North. ) (2) On the 14th of each month, the Four Kings sent princes to observe the people's good and evil. (3) On 15 every month, the four heavenly kings personally abide by the rules of the world. Honor your parents, respect the three treasures, respect your elders, practice six degrees, and those who fast with the eight precepts celebrate each other, and then goodness and goodness decrease. If you don't practice fast well, you will only create bad karma, and the heaven will be sad and unlucky, and the number will drop. (Six degrees: giving, keeping precepts, enduring humiliation, diligence, meditation and wisdom. Bajie: No killing, no stealing, no lewdness, no lying, no drinking, no big bed, no fancy, no singing and dancing. Those who fast stop eating after noon. ) (4) On the 23rd of each month, the four heavenly kings sent auxiliary ministers to observe. Same as the eighth day. (5) On the 29th of each month, the Four Kings sent a prince to observe. Same as 14. (6) On the 30th of each month, the four heavenly kings bowed themselves to watch the ceremony. Same as 15. Fasting for ten days (that is, the first, eighth, fourteenth, fifteenth, eighteenth, twenty-third, twenty-fourth, twenty-eighth, twenty-ninth and thirtieth days of each month). The Buddha's ode to the Buddha in the volume of Tibetan Bodhisattva says:' If all future sentient beings get together on the 1st, 8th, 14th, 15th, 18th, 23rd, 24th, 28th, 29th and even 30th of this month, their weight will be determined. A good and evil boy went to the lower bound to read the middle road in Nanwu (1000 times). Without a sword, he fasted in hell, except for the crime of robbing eight kings of forty. In the lower bound, he read Nanwuding Middle Road (1000 times) without a pharmacist. Without shit, he fasted in hell, except for thirty robberies and fourteen robberies. He recorded that the lower bound read Tathagata and robbed thousands of buddhas (100 times) in the south, fasted in hell, removed sin, 1000 robbed, 15 and 15 will, and the lower bound read Amitabha Buddha in south Africa (1000 times). Read Guanyin Bodhisattva in South Africa in the lower bound (1000 times) and South Africa Lushenafo in the lower bound (1000 times). Don't fall into a hungry ghost, fast in hell, get rid of sin for a thousand times, 24 times, and read "Nanda Dizang Bodhisattva" in the lower bound of Mount Tai (1000 times), and don't. Don't fall into hell, read Nanda Dizang (100 times), and read Nanda Wang Yao to give medicine to Bodhisattva (6543 Don't fall into a cave and grind hell to fast, except for the crime of 7,000 robberies. On the 30th, the Brahma King went to the Lower Bound to remember Sakyamuni Buddha (1000 times), and did not fall into the Grey River to fast, except for the crime of 8,000 robberies.

Question 5: What do you need to do and pay attention to besides reading Tibetan scriptures on the tenth day of Lent? Learning Buddhism and practicing is not a one-off event, not a few years, but a lifelong event.

One of the signs of learning Buddhism is vegetarianism and self-discipline. If you don't convert to the precepts, you can't be called a true Buddha.

Hungry, however, we are destined to learn Buddhism in this life, so we must learn it well and learn it to the end.

Vegetarianism is different from fasting. Eating fast means not eating after noon, that is, not eating after noon. Merit is very remarkable.

These days, in addition to observing the five precepts, we should also keep our body, mouth and heart well, and don't start a career.

There are ten reasons to do good things.

Follow your heart.

Question 6: Which should I choose to observe on Ramadan 6th and 10? In fact, you can do anything, as long as your heart is sincere. All the precepts, classics and theories of Buddhism are nothing more than two words-cultivating the mind. There is a Buddha in the heart, but there is no Buddha before the Buddha in the heart; There is a demon in the heart, but there is no demon in the heart, which is the Buddha! There is no amitabha in the south! There is no amitabha in the south! There is no amitabha in the south!

Question 7: The origin of Lent. It means fasting vegetarian food for ten days every month, and slaughtering is forbidden. Tibetan scriptures? The Tathagata praised, "In the future, if all beings are blessed again, on the first, eighth, fourteenth, fifteenth, eighteenth, twenty-third, twenty-fourth, twenty-eighth, twenty-ninth and even thirtieth day of the first month, they will be able to recite Buddha, bodhisattva, sage and icon, and there will be no disaster. "Tang Gaozu's" No Execution and Massacre ":"From now on, in the first month of each month, May, September and October, no execution is allowed, and it is advisable to stop killing in public or private. "It was also saved as' Ten lent'. One of Tang Bai Juyi's poems "Qingquan Idle Residence": "Today is not the tenth lent, and children feed fish." "Warning the world? "Du Shiniang angered the chest:" How dare you lie at the age of fifty-one? " Jia's Preface to the Ancestors and Grandsons of Sannong: "Recently, various schools of thought have made Daiye a celebrity. "

Question 8: Can people who follow the five precepts of Buddhism do big marriages? How about fasting for ten days? Have you been ordained? Remember that you are human. Enough!

Question 9: What does Ramadan mean to ethnic minorities? Lent day: Lent day refers to a certain day in Ramadan, or when the founder celebrates Christmas or has a fasting ceremony, Taoists must strictly follow the rules of Taoist rituals. Ramadan is the day of fasting in January. These days, we must strictly abide by the precepts of Taoism, so that the law can be protected by the gods and be effective.

Taoism has also set up a special fast day, namely January fast day, while formulating commandments. On this day, we must strictly abide by the precepts of Taoism, so that when we hold the ceremony, we can be protected by the gods, responsive and telepathic.

Taoism has ten lent, eight lent, three lent, four lent and three lent.

① October: 1, 8, 14, 15, 18, 23, 24, 28, 29 and 30 of each month (27th may be the first day of abortion).

② Eight fasting days: beginning of spring Day, Spring Equinox, Lixia Day, Summer solstice, beginning of autumn Day, Autumn Equinox, Lidong Day and Winter solstice.

(3) Three-yuan fast days: 15th of the first month, 15th of July and 15th of October.

(4) Lent: the first day of the first month, the first day of April, the first day of July and the first day of October.

⑤ Three lent days: the seventh day of the first month, the seventh day of July and the fifth day of October.

These fasting days are the specific time for fasting. In the days of fasting, we must strictly observe the precepts and guard them, so as to truly educate and purify the world.

⑥ Punishment for violating the precepts: Violating the precepts means that the ordained monks have violated the rules and regulations that they should abide by. Breaking the precepts means that Taoist priests break the rules again. There are uniform rules for those who violate the precepts and precepts. Later, all kinds of temples used discipline as the standard of punishment. At present, we mainly focus on criticism and education until we urge expulsion.

⑦ The main fasting day at present: At present, there are some changes between the fasting day of Quanzhen Temple and the traditional customization. In Shifang jungle, the first and fifteenth day of each month in the lunar calendar and Christmas day of ancestors are mainly fasting days, and the temples of future generations also take traditional customization as the main fasting days.

Today, there are also fasting days in Buddhism.

What is Liu Zhai Day?

On the sixth day of Ramadan every month, lay people must observe eight customs and fast. As mentioned earlier, the eighth, fourteenth, fifteenth and twenty-third day of the lunar calendar and the last two days of the month are six fasting days.

It is not out of season, it is popular in India and India, and the sixth fasting day is also observed in India and India. It should be understood here that Buddhism and heretics can be interlinked in many people's concepts of humanitarian law. Although heretics are not as extensive and profound as Buddhism, many realms seen by heretics in humanitarian law can be recognized in Buddhism. As long as it is right, heretical teachings should be respected, even if they are said by heretics. If it is wrong, the Buddha said heresy, but even what the Buddha said is still unacceptable. This is also the greatness of Buddhism.

On the sixth day of Ramadan, Sanskrit is called Posada. This is the same as Busa who says "abstinence" every half month in Buddhism, which means "long purity", long practice of good dharma and pure Sanskrit. In fact, Bussa, who said "abstinence" every half month in The Monk, has a deep relationship with Ramadan in June. For example, Sabo's "Multi-Part Pannimodelega" Volume 6: "On the 8 th, 14 th and 15 th, Wang Shecheng gathered in one place to recite, parents. At that time, they bottled sand, and Wang xin Buddhist monks went to the Buddhist temple ... and listened to the Buddhist words of the monks. On the 8 th, 14 th and 15 th, they gathered in one place to recite their words. " (Dazheng 23? In 603, India divided a month into February, called Bai Yue and Black Moon, and each month had only fifteen days, only the first to fifteenth, but not sixteen to thirty. ) As for Bussa, the reason is also that "those who aspire to * * * at the 3rd of the month will be dealt with by everyone, while those who aspire to * * * will be bosom friends and prepare food. The Buddha advised the bottle to be made in Sand King, and some monks chanted sutras in white clothes, eating monks in white clothes and so on. It turned out to be the second month, and it was added to Liuzhai Bazhai for the second time. " See Ding's Dictionary of Buddhism (page 862) and even increase the fasting to ten days. It can be seen that the monk's half-moon alms are the same as Bajie's half-moon alms.

So, why did you choose these six days as Lent?

"Mahayana Sutra" Volume 12: "On June 8, 23, 14, 29, 15 and 30, the heavens will meet." (dazhengba? Three one zero)

Classic of the Four Heavenly Kings: "On the day of fasting, treat people with good and evil. On the second day of Sumi Mountain, the name of the heavenly emperor, Fu Wei, is the Lord of the four days, and the four heavenly kings, that is, because of the kings of the four towns, each side. Often on August 8, emissaries sent a case to the whole world, taking care of emperors and subjects, dragons, ghosts, flies, insects, squirming, etc., thoughts, words, good and evil; 14 sent the prince down; 15, under the four kings; On the 23rd, the messenger replied; 29, the prince returned; On the 30th, the four kings returned from the bottom. " (Dazheng Yiwu? 1 18 middle school)

Question 10: What are ten days, six days, Shuowangzhai and Yuezhai? What should we observe and do? The ten-day fast in Buddhism comes from the Tibetan scriptures. The seventh death of the deceased is also from the Tibetan scriptures. It can be seen that what is said in the Tibetan scriptures is very important to our daily life. This is a concrete fact, this method and ksitigarbha bodhisattva benefit all beings. We read and experience carefully before we know what to do in life. 1 October: every month1day, 8th,14th,15th,18th, 23rd, 24th, 28th, 29th and 30th. What is Lent? Fasting means fasting the heart, which means cleaning the heart. Fasting has nothing to do with vegetarianism When the Buddha was alive, the way of life of the monk group was to hold a bowl, eat once a day and spend the night under a tree. You can eat whatever others give you. At present, monks in Thailand and Sri Lanka are still begging for help. They are not vegetarians. They eat whatever the donors give them. Of all Buddhists in the world, only Buddhists in China are vegetarians. In addition to China, Buddhists all over the world eat Sanjin meat-if you don't see it, don't smell it, don't kill it, because I don't kill it. This is what the Buddha said in his commandments. The origin of Buddhist vegetarianism in China is that Liang Wudi read the Shurangama Sutra, saying that "Bodhisattva is merciful and cannot bear to eat the flesh of all beings". He was so moved that he became a vegetarian. He is the great protector of Buddhism, hoping that monks will respond and evolve into vegetarian characteristics of Buddhism in China. When we go abroad, others treat us warmly and cook vegetarian food for us. Don't think that the meat just cooked in the pot is dirty, it's too much. I don't eat after noon, because noon means eleven to one, and I can't eat after noon.

People should maintain their bodies, and when they are well, they can improve their practice. Since ancient times, practitioners are mostly young people, old and frail, and extremely tired of seven buddha's play. How can he not be distracted?

Master Liu Zu was only twenty-four years old when he got the mantle of Five Zus, and he became a Buddha when he saw nature. The result of spiritual practice is mostly before the age of 40. You have physical strength and spirit, so you should cherish your time while you are young. People in China often say that breakfast should be good and nutritious; Eat full at noon, but not too full; Eating less at night will help you sleep, and it will also help if you meditate at night. Therefore, it is very reasonable not to eat during lent. It is wrong to think that malnutrition will occur without eating a meal. The human body is a machine that can move and needs energy. Diet is the source of energy, which can keep the machine (body) running. Everyone has different physique and special energy consumption, so you should eat more and make up more; Save fuel, just add a little, and it works normally. Where is the energy consumption? I told fellow initiates that 95% was spent on delusions. There is less paranoia and less energy, so one meal a day is enough for people with pure hearts. Thinking all day long, I don't have enough to eat, and I have to eat snacks to supplement my energy. We know the truth. When the 10 Ramadan is fixed, the food demand will be reduced and the intake of nutrients will still be sufficient. If you think too much and study at lunch, you are asking for trouble, because if you eat too much every day and don't supplement enough nutrition, you will get sick and ruin your health. Some people hold their lunch, eat the weight of three meals in one meal, and get stomach trouble in a few days. This is the way to keep fit. The most important thing in Buddhism is health preservation. Its lifestyle, diet and daily life are the best ways to keep in good health, and it will really achieve longevity and immortality. It's a pity that we ignored it and didn't understand its spiritual intention. Although vegetarianism was not advocated by Buddha (it was advocated by Liang Wudi), today's medicine has proved that vegetarianism is indeed beneficial. Therefore, foreign vegetarian restaurants are getting more and more year by year, and foreigners are vegetarian for health. People who study Buddhism are vegetarian and must be in good health; If you are unhealthy, you think too much. The root of all diseases is delusion. If you have few delusions, it's easy to get better. The mind is the master, and mental health is easy to get physical health. In foreign countries, there is no lunar calendar, so it is not easy to observe the ten-day fast. I told fellow initiates abroad that it is not necessary to choose a fixed day to fast every Saturday and Sunday. As long as you practice cleansing for a few days a month, it will be of great help to your health and practice. This is the real intention of lent.
