Tang Priest was captured by half a beautiful woman and forced to get married. Wukong advised the Tang Priest: "There is no way but to eat him."

The enchantress held out her jade finger, held a golden cup, filled it with wine, and handed it to the Tang Priest. She called, "Brother, wonderful person, please have a glass of sex wine." Sanzang took the wine shyly, looked up at the sky and poured a mouthful. He said to himself, "The protector came from heaven, and the five parties revealed the truth. The four-valued hero, disciple Chen Xuanzang, went out of the eastern soil and was sent by Guanyin Bodhisattva to secretly protect the gods and worship Lei Yin to see the Buddha and learn from the scriptures. On the way, I was caught by a demon, forced to marry him, and handed me this cup of wine to eat. This fruit is plain wine. I barely ate it, but I still have to see the Buddha become a Buddha. If you eat meat and drink wine, you will break the precepts of your disciples and suffer from reincarnation forever! "

However, Sun Shengda has become airy. Behind his ear, it looks like a Zhang Er newspaper, but when he speaks, only Sanzang can hear it, and no one else can hear it. Knowing that Master used to eat sake made from grapes, he taught him to eat it. Then the host has no choice but to eat.

There are usually meat dishes and vegetarian dishes on our table. Meat dishes refer to dishes made by animals, while vegetarian dishes refer to dishes made by plants. How to distinguish between meat and wine in Buddhism?

Buddhism believes that food is used to feed human beings, and it is a destructive act to make wine with food. Destroying food is taking food from the population, which is indirect killing. Therefore, wine made from food is called meat wine.

Fruits, especially wild fruits, grow on trees and are used for brewing.

In the eighty-second journey to the West, "My wife looks for her grandson and Shen Yuan protects the road" is a sperm donor of bottomless white-haired mice. It reads: "Sun Shengda, if he is like earplugs behind his ears, he will become lighter;" But when he speaks, Sanzang can hear him, but others can't smell him. He knows that Master usually drinks and teaches. He has an hour.

The vegetarian wine here clearly shows that it is made of grapes.

Elder Tang drank in public for the twelfth time in the original work. Elder Tang rode a white horse to bid farewell to Taizong and went to the Western Heaven for Buddhist scriptures. Drink it all at once.

The second time was drinking with white-haired mice mentioned above. He said "madam", lead an honest and clean life, and didn't want to drink. The beauty begged Yang, but the monk couldn't bear it.

The third time was in my daughter's motherland. The queen gave the royal brothers a brother's mouth. His eyes were full of emotion and tenderness. This kind of wine can be drunk glass after glass.

In The Journey to the West, Mr. Tang generally only drinks with excellent people, preferring to drink with beautiful women, and does not drink on other occasions.

Hello, I'm glad to answer this question.

There are generally two kinds of dishes on our dining table: meat dishes refer to dishes made with animals as ingredients, and vegetarian dishes refer to dishes fried with plants as ingredients. How to distinguish meat from vegetables in Buddhism?

Buddhism believes that food is used to support people, and it is a waste to make wine with food. Disturbing food means robbing people of their rations and indirectly killing people. So the wine brewed from food is called meat wine.

Fruits, especially wild fruits, are born on trees and make the best use of everything, so they are called "plain wine"

In The Journey to the West, there are some banquet scenes, such as farewell, thanks, celebration, celebration and so on.

On such an occasion, it is inevitable to deal with wine.

Some Tang Priest drank wine, while others didn't.

Let's take a look at the Tang Priest's attitude towards those "plain wines":

1、

In the twelfth chapter of the book, Emperor Taizong gave a farewell dinner to Tang Priest.

Tang Priest's initial attitude was to refuse, saying that "wine is the first precept of monks, and poor monks are themselves and will not drink";

Later, Emperor Taizong said it was plain wine, and Sanzang drank it ("Thank you for drinking it all").

2、

In chapter 19 of the book, Zhu Bajie joined the Buddhist team. Before he left, Pig's husband Gao Lao advised Tang Yan to drink at the banquet, but Tang Yan refused to drink.

Lao Gao said it was plain wine, but Sanzang still didn't drink it. He became more determined and said, "I dare not use wine either. Wine is the first teacher of my monk family. "

3、

In the forty-eighth chapter of the book, in Chenjiazhuang, Chen Lao asked them if they wanted to drink.

Sanzang said not to drink, but disciple drank sake.

4、

In the fifty-fourth chapter of the book, in the daughter country, Sanzang said to the queen, "I am a vegetarian, but I have never given up drinking."

If you are reluctant to drink the vegetarian wine of Emperor Taizong, then the queen of the daughter country voluntarily confesses that she has not given up drinking, which means that she can drink some vegetarian wine.

Sure enough, "Sanzang came down and sat with the queen with a jade cup." When you take a seat at a banquet, the seat is a toast and a salute. )

5、

In the sixty-ninth chapter of the book, in Zhu Ziguo, after the king's illness was cured, the king gave a banquet to entertain him. What Tang Priest said in his daughter country, "I never give up drinking", became "poor monks can't drink".

Fortunately, the three apprentices are all close apprentices, and they did not expose them face to face.

The king won't die, saying it's plain wine. Let's drink this one.

Those who can persist on the westbound road for so long will definitely insist on lying down and not drinking.

The Tang Priest said, "Wine is the first precept of monks." Buddhism has five precepts, but dare to ask if abstinence is really the "monk's first precept"? Why do you want to emphasize before the rest of "Under the Temptation"-don't kill, don't steal, don't fuck and don't cheat? )

Finally, three disciples changed to drink.

6、

In chapter eighty-two, Sanzang was kidnapped by a mouse with a golden nose and white hair and forced to get married. Strangely, Sanzang didn't insist on not drinking as he did in Zhu Ziguo, just saying "I don't need meat";

Stranger still, the demon said, "I know you don't eat meat." This demon is also worried about Sanzang.

7、

In chapter 84 of the book, when France was destroyed, the owner and his entourage stopped at a restaurant. When the shopkeeper arranged the wine and food, he asked him if he wanted essential wine.

Monkey stepped forward to rescue the Tang Priest and said, "Have a drink, too."

8、

In the eighty-eighth chapter of the book, in Yuhua County, King Yuhua gave a banquet. Although he didn't specifically write whether Sanzang was drinking or not, he only wrote "Master, apprentice, Wang and his son, a happy day". There are several bottles of fragrant glutinous rice wine on the banquet, which are more fragrant than nectar. Tang Sanzang may not be able to drink, but Pig Bajie should be able to drink.

As can be seen from the above, Tang Priest only drank three times, namely: 1, and drank with Tang Taizong; 4. Drink with the king of the daughter country; 6. Drink white-haired mice with golden noses.

In fact, in Chapter 82 of the book, the Monkey King explained the real drinking situation of Tang Priest: "On weekdays, I eat plain wine made of grapes".

Therefore, Tang Yan is a vegetarian and likes to eat plain wine made of grapes.

The real reason why some arranged vegetarian wines were eaten and some were not eaten is:

The vegetarian wine you eat is made of grapes;

Uneaten vegetarian wine is not made of grapes.

According to various textual research, the following opinions are obtained:

Plain wine is a low-alcohol wine without distillation. Meat wine refers to both meat and wine.

Interpretation in the Buddhist dictionary: meat is pungent and smelly to plants, and all meat is taken. This means that meat wine includes spices of plants and meat.

The difference between the two is that:

1, the process is different:

The practice of vegetarian wine is to filter out the distiller's grains directly without "distillation" and cook the rest in a pot so that the wine will not go bad. The necessary process of meat wine is high temperature sterilization, which needs distillation.

2, the use of different occasions:

Generally, vegetarian wine is used to worship Buddha in temples, and monks and nuns can drink it. In The Journey to the West, Tang Priest was caught by a demon and forced to get married, and the Monkey King gave him plain wine.

Practitioners ban meat and alcohol, thinking that meat stinks and makes others hate it; Wine is easy to confuse and disturb the minds of practitioners.

As the second disciple of the Buddha, Master Sanzang is naturally inscrutable. No matter what he chooses, he has his own ingenious use, which is beyond the ordinary people's guess and there is no need to delve into it.

Extended reading:

The five precepts of Buddhism: no killing, no stealing, no adultery, no nonsense and no drinking.

On the example of "Don't drink", look at the enlightenment of Master Xuanhua:

Tell you a case. There was a man who was very happy to drink, and he accepted the five commandments; After the five commandments, he couldn't keep it.

He thought, "Oh, I want to drink some wine!" " "So I want to drink, but I have nothing to eat ── China people have to have something to drink, unlike foreigners who drink, they don't need food. At this time, it happened that a chicken in the neighbor's house ran over and said, "This time, you brought me food!" " "So I caught the chicken.

Caught this chicken and committed the crime of stealing; He killed chickens and made a fortune. This theft, murder and abstinence have all been committed! Because there are chickens to deliver wine, I am also drunk; Then the neighbor's woman came to look for the chicken and knocked on his door. When he opened the door, the neighbor's woman came in and said, "Did you see a chicken running?" He said, "No, no, I didn't see it!" " "This also broke a lie warning. He also saw that this woman was beautiful, so he became angry again and raped this woman. So he was sued and he had to go to court.

Just because he drank, he broke all the five commandments.

Therefore, "wine can be promiscuous" and Buddhists abstain from it. If you drink too much, people can't control it; I couldn't help it, but suddenly the sky stopped-suddenly the sky, suddenly the ground, walking in the clouds, omnipotent.

Because of this wine, all the five commandments have been violated, so among these five commandments, it is necessary to give up drinking. I won't do so many stupid things because I'm not drunk; When you are drunk, you can do anything. Therefore, in Buddhism, it is very important to accept the five precepts first.

Hello, I'm glad to answer this question. Simply divided into the following points

The first point is vegetarian wine: non-grain wine, generally fruit wine, does not consume food, does not compete with the people for rations, and avoids indirect killing. Non-distilled liquor does not need too much manpower, so as not to hinder agricultural production and indirectly kill people. Low-alcohol, so as to avoid violence and disorder-of course, any drink too much will hurt the body and disturb the mind. Another example is the wine used to worship Buddha in temples, which is also called vegetarian wine. In fact, this statement is artificial, and there is no clear distinction.

The second point: in fact, monks are not allowed to drink alcohol when they keep the precepts, but it doesn't mean that they keep the precepts all the time. For example, if they have social intercourse and want to drink, then on the day of drinking, they will not obey the precepts. In a word, they will "quit". But wine is wine after all, whether it is vegetarian wine or meat dishes, it is wine. Food can be eaten, so can wild fruits. If you drink it, you break the rules. The theory of vegetarian wine can't be found in any major Buddhist scriptures, but only appeared in The Journey to the West and The Water Margin, which is an artistic technique. The only thing that can distinguish meat from vegetables is the difference in brewing methods. Therefore, the Tang Priest sometimes refuses to drink, and he will not drink if he can.

The third point: Why does Tang Priest sometimes take the initiative to drink? I don't know if you have heard the saying: "Don't look at the Three Kingdoms, don't look at the Westward Journey". The Journey to the West Li Tang Sheng drank so many times, the first time he left Emperor Taizong to practice, and then he had a glass of wine with the white-haired mouse. Drinking with the king of the daughter country, I almost fell, one after another. It can be seen that Tangshan only drinks with high-ranking people and beautiful women. The rest will be rejected. You're fine, you're fine.

The Tang Priest in The Journey to the West was reincarnated as the second disciple of the Tathagata, Jin, so he strictly abided by Buddhism and Taoism. He won't touch anything forbidden by Buddhist rules and regulations. But except for one thing, that is wine.

When the Tang Priest in The Journey to the West started to learn the scriptures, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin came to bid farewell and handed him a glass of wine. Tang Yan refused to say that his family didn't drink. Taizong told him that this is vegetarian wine, drink it! So the Tang Priest picked up his glass, gulped it down, and then went out of the city on his way.
