What is the cause and effect of obese people in Buddhism? When the Buddha was alive, sraffa Ti was his disciple. He is surrounded by thousands of monks and nuns, and priceless female laymen come to Buddha three times a day to listen to Buddha's words.

Bosniak, then king of Sla Wasti, converted to the location of the Buddha and became a disciple of the Buddha at home. He once had such an anecdote.

It's time to seek my treatment from Buddhism. "So he went to see the Buddha.

The king of Persia is so fat that he needs someone to help him get off the stage. As for worshipping Buddha, he can't do it at all.

Here you are. He sat there and told the Buddha, "I can't move easily because I'm getting fat and sick." Please forgive me for not worshipping you. The Buddha said, "Never mind, you can sit next to me and talk about your recent situation. 」

[Buddha reveals five reasons for getting fat]

The Buddha told him: "People get fat for five reasons.

The first is counting food-eating all day and eating a lot of meals;

Again ── I like to sleep, sleep for a long time, and I am idle and lazy ...;

The third is ── pride, arrogant attitude, only ordering others, but unwilling to start hard;

The fourth is-carefree, thoughtless, never willing to think hard and explore the truth of life;

The fifth is ── nothing, everything is not willing to work. ...

It is these five reasons that lead to obesity. 」

The king felt quite right and said with shame, "I am such a person." 」

As a king, his chef is busy with his meals all day, eating from morning till night, even when he is entertaining, watching ladies dancing and listening to music, or eating constantly; Nothing is sleeping; Moreover, he is arrogant and used to swearing loudly; Although he has converted to Buddhism, he has never thought about life and death, let alone state affairs, so he has nothing to worry about; If you have nothing to do, enjoy the whole day. These are all the reasons that make him fat.

So, he made a vow to change before the Buddha ── now he should care about his own life and death and state affairs, cultivate a gentle attitude and be tolerant of others; Also control sleep time and diet.

After he made a wish, he went back and told the chef to remind him to exercise, go on a diet and take care of himself every meal, so he began to remind himself every day to reduce his food intake every meal. His appetite has been decreasing, and the number of meals has been decreasing; Sleep time is also shortened, try to think about life and death in your heart with the teachings of Buddhism; And develop the habit of exercise; Always care about the things around you, see and understand for yourself.

In this way, he lost weight day by day and became stronger day by day. When he can move freely, he will go to see the Buddha.

It was convenient to get off the sedan chair far away before, and walked to the front with gentle steps, thanking the wonderful method given by the Buddha for making him
