I asked my mother-in-law, and I said, why don't my grandparents live in the mountains instead of at home?
Mother-in-law said: living in the mountains has good air and can live long. For example, living in the village can live to 80 years old, and living in the mountains can live to 1000 years old.
Grandparents are over eighty years old. Their cheeks are red. They can take care of themselves. Grandpa can always ride a 28-bar bike to catch a party.
During my recent holiday, I watched TV every day. I don't know if you have noticed that the monks in ancient temples are very beautiful. According to the information, ancient monks did live for a long time.
According to historical records, in the peacetime of Tang and Song Dynasties, the average life expectancy was only 40-50 years at most. At that time, poets lived a long life among the people, but I didn't expect the age of monks to be more exaggerated! The so-called "seventy years old is rare", and the average age of monks is close to 74 years old. Even in contemporary times, this is definitely a long-lived group. Those who live long are over 100 years old.
At present, the average life expectancy of China people is only 72 years old (70 years old for men), but it has not reached the level of 1000 years ago! Why can monks live so long?
Of course, it is not because of any "divine power." I think it may be an important reason for simple indifference.
Buddhism is actually a philosophy, and these eminent monks and great virtues are actually great philosophers and thinkers. They have been thinking all their lives and objectively avoided the occurrence of senile diseases such as Alzheimer's disease.
In addition, "the world's famous mountains and monks", beautiful scenery, away from the noisy living environment, is probably also a factor! Monks are very particular about their moods. Generally, the air quality in temples is good, and the relative intake of water and nutrients is much cleaner than that in our city, so their life expectancy is also high.
According to the data, the oldest people and monks and nuns in the world can't catch up with the Zhao Hui monks in Tang Dynasty in China. According to "China Personal Names Dictionary", "I said my surname was Liu, the great-grandson of King Poyang in the Song Dynasty. 290 years old. Hiroyuki is a disciple. He has escaped. I don't know what to do.
According to Jiang Liangfu's Biography of Celebrities in Past Dynasties, Hui Zhaoshou, a monk in the Tang Dynasty, died at the age of 290. Zhao Hui's specific year of birth and death is clearly recorded in the Chronology of Monks' Life and Death: "Zhao Hui, male, was born in 1926 and died in 1985 at the age of 290."
The secret of longevity of monks and nuns is by no means because monks and nuns believe in Buddhism or are good at it, nor because monks and nuns live in seclusion temples and eat "magic medicine".
Monks and nuns are human beings, flesh and blood.
People's birth, illness, death and illness have always been natural laws and cannot be influenced by religious beliefs. Besides, there is no elixir in the world that can make people live forever.
The mystery of longevity of monks and nuns can be explored from the following aspects: 1. The living environment is superior. Most temples and temples where monks and nuns live are built in scenic spots far away from the city. And commanding, the front door is open, surrounded by lush trees, birds and flowers, plenty of sunshine, fresh air, beautiful environment, no noise, little pollution, refreshing and healthy.
Vegetarian food is good for health. As we all know, monks and nuns avoid meat and fishy, and have strict dietary regulations. I ate whole grains, seasonal fruits and vegetables, beans, peanuts, honey, mushrooms, fungus, chestnuts, vegetable oil and pure tea. In the present words, I ate healthy food. Abstinence, spiritual sustenance (faith), regular work and rest, without earthly struggle, can you not live long!
We are currently in an environment of rapid development and fierce competition. As long as you compare, you can really compare the reasons. Monks think less, eat less and practice more, have less distractions, and concentrate on Buddhism, which is good for health;
Meditation, meditation, chanting and folding hands are all beneficial to physical and mental health. I only have "Amitabha, my Buddha is merciful" in my heart. I often say, "There are too many monks and too few porridge, and I don't think about anything."
Nowadays, people eat first, pay attention to "eating culture", eat raw seafood, big fish and big meat, and it is impossible not to eat meat for two days. And these are exactly the taboos of monks.
Scientists have done experiments and all meat is poisonous. Because it will get angry when it is slaughtered, and then it will secrete a lot of toxins. At this time, a pig's toxin can completely kill a mouse.
3. When it comes to drinking, people nowadays pay attention to Liang Shanbo's drinking method: just as Huangdi Neijing said: take wine as the pulp (drink), then take Jin as the drink. Drink smartly, drink spicy, drink cool and get drunk! But in the end, he was paralyzed and died young. Monks are teetotalers.
Speaking of eating by luck, we also see that we have a special hobby, which is actually a bad habit, smoking! Smoking is harmful to health, even three-year-old children know it. A large amount of tar blackens the lungs and ducts, increasing their burden. It is reported that 80% of lung cancer is caused by smoking, and secondhand smoke is more harmful, while monks don't smoke.
7. Let's think it over. More is how to make more money, how to be an official, how to stink him or her, and how to "shine" again! Come up with a "depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, neurasthenia, can't sleep all night, in the long run, a stubborn insomnia will come out." In a word, we contemporary people think much more than monks and live very tired. Do you think Ann can live a long life?
Between monks, peace of mind, no competition, no fighting, regular pranayama meditation, regular exercise and vegetarian diet are all beneficial to health. How can you not live long?
8. It is said that monks are forbidden in sexual desire. Nowadays, people get drunk (drunk) into the house, wasting energy and energy, getting old before they get old, and some even have to raise their third son, Si Er, because their wives are not enough. People are shriveled and empty, can they not age prematurely? The above is just what I thought of writing. Please don't sit in the right position!
