I. Buddhist views on health

What is health? In general, physical strength is strong, health is safe and disease-free. In a comprehensive sense, being physically strong, being safe and disease-free is health. Health is very important for life and it is indispensable. Lack of health not only fails to complete their studies, they cannot establish a career, and they cannot enjoy life. In particular, a Buddhist who is ill-healthy is not able to practise Taoism, is unable to prosper, is unable to carry out the tasks of Lillish himself, and is even less capable of accomplishing the mission of salvation and salvation. Therefore, health is not only a special attention of health workers, but also a problem that is of particular concern to the general public. When people meet again after a long absence, they will inevitably ask each other health; when people meet in the new year, they also wish each other health; people write to friends, always greeting health and wishing health. It shows that everyone likes health, everyone wants health, and everyone needs health. But how to get health? How can it be true health? Standing on a Buddhist stand, there is a special view.

In general, the human health is divided into two aspects: physical and psychological. The body is disease-free, normal diet, physical health; normal thinking, reasonable behavior, mental health. Buddhism believes that the human body is made up of four major elements. One of them is indiscriminate, and it is riddled with diseases. It is necessary to reconcile the four major bodies and the body is light and peaceful. It is the physical health. As for the psychological, it is true that the mind is normal and the behavior is reasonable. It is indeed healthy. However, the problem is that people have different ideas. Who is normal and who is not normal? As for people's behavior, who is reasonable and who is unreasonable? Because of the things of the world, most people only rely on people’s delusions or emotional attachments. They both lack the basis for truth and do not have certain standards; they often win by the public, and everyone is so called “normal”. This way, even if it is 'reasonable'.

The Buddhist leader Shakyamuni Buddha, with his "normal" and "reasonable" views, embraced everyone's awake attitude and used clear-headed thinking and profound wisdom to explore the truth of life and use correct concepts. In order to make a clear distinction between the right and wrong of the world, as a result, under the proof of the truth, understanding all sentient beings is disorientating and ambiguous. It is a perennial dedication to all the things that depend on him for the sake of the world. Nothing happens. Such perseverance, whether it is my own or a law enforcement, is not normal and it is unreasonable. Because all beings are obsessed with self, servile with me is greedy, and against me is ambiguous. If we don't understand the circumstances of rebellion is false, illusion is not true, it is madness. As a result of greediness and ignorance, it is psychological problems. Since all sentient beings have self-determination and my heart is guilty of greediness and ignorance, I think you and his thoughts are not normal. You and I are mentally unhealthy. So the Buddha said: ‘All beings are sick. It is also a mental illness.

When it comes to this, you must call me ‘line down’ and even suspect that I really have a mental illness. Otherwise, how could one do all the world's life and think all beings are mentally ill? In the United States, if you say someone: NERVOUS BREAKDOWN , you must break the charge and ask you to compensate him for his reputation loss. Unfortunately, this is true. Please ask yourself, in your daily life, is it gluttonous? Or is it greedy? Is forgiving of forgiving others? Or is it often annoying? Do you understand righteousness and righteousness? Or do you not ask right and wrong, regardless of morality, not seeking truth, willfulness? If the answer belongs to the latter, then you have a problem with your mind. It is even more unreasonable for people to know and hate wrath because they hate anger. It is even more irrational to undermine the truth. It is even more unreasonable to destroy the truth, not to talk about justice, and to think that the ambition to commit aggression is even more unnatural.

According to Buddhism, unless everyone can completely cancel the greed, jealousy, and delusion of the heart, every living being is not normal and is a mentally ill person. This type of mental illness is deeply ingrained. It may be treated by non-general practitioners, and it is not recoverable in this life. Because the general doctor can only treat the problems of human physiology and can't treat people's psychological problems. Even the doctors of psychology can only correct the abnormalities of the human physiologic nervous system, and are unable to eradicate the greed, delirium, and morbidity of human psychology. It's even more difficult to clean up the dirt of ignorance. In this respect, only the Buddha, who has no upper medical doctor, can govern the ignorance of disease in the minds of all beings, and only the compassion and wisdom of the Dharma can clear the three poisons of the greedy and deluded people. Those who study Buddhism receive the revelation of Buddha's truth and wash their compassion and water. After a long period of clearing, they are repaired in immeasurable time and space. As a result, the three poisons of greed and delusion are gradually reduced, they are meagre and even disappear, until the last product is clear , Can reply to the normal human nature and restore psychological health. Therefore, today I associate Buddhism with health and discuss it with special significance and value. Let us now discuss issues relating to physical and mental health based on the principles of Buddhism.

Second, how to get good health

When it comes to physical health, I think that vegetarianism should be implemented first because vegetarian diet has the following advantages:

(A) Vegetarians Can Reduce People's Diseases

Food is the basic requirement of living creatures, so Buddha said: ‘All beings are living and eating.’ Confucius also said: 'The color of food is also'. Food is indispensable for all living beings. Therefore, smaller creatures have eaten larger creatures, while larger creatures have eaten smaller creatures. For example, cats suck blood from cats, and cats catch mice as food. The lion has an insect in its body and eats the meat in the lion. The lion preys on other smaller animals. Another example is other bacterial bugs that parasitize the human body and kill other animals to nourish the body. As for plants, they eat water, soil, sunlight, air, and fertilizers. People and animals eat plants, and plants eat animals. Such as insectivorous plants. In short, all beings are constantly fighting each other and eating each other to survive.

According to the Buddhist scriptures, when there was a robbery in the world, people were born from the light tone, and they all ate for the taste. The long Ahan Jingyun: 'Each heaven and earth began to grow, and there was nothing. The taste is like crunchy honey, and those who have descended from the sound-tone days have taken it and eaten it. Because of the taste of many foods, the color has become rough, and the quality of the talents in the old days has not been restored. When the land is tasted and eaten, the ground cakes are raised from the ground to support people. Afterwards, because of the large number of people and the land cakes, the plants are cultivated for food. At that time, people saw animals, killed them and eat them. Later, everyone learned to catch animals. At the beginning, they were eating raw food, drinking blood, eating their flesh, and licking their skin, similar to animals. As well as the progress of human minds, it has changed from raw food to cooked food. It is even more superstitious to nourish the flesh, even thinking that it can complement the shape, that the brain is sick, that it is treated with the brains of the beasts, that the heart and the liver are sick and that the liver of the animal is used to nourish it, and the human mind becomes the mind of the beast, and people The heart and liver have become the beast's heart and liver, and even cruel and incompetent; you never see: a table full of Han feast, even more than a dozen monkeys collapsed, donated their lives, to feed the human head. Because human superstitious meats nourish and kill people unbridledly, animal life is robbed. Everyone knows that the idea of meat nutrition and meat extension has long been rejected by science. Because scientific discovery found that meat contains toxins and that meat carries infectious bacteria, meat can cause various diseases and damage human health.

1, meat contains toxins

Everyone knows that when a mother is emotionally, irritated, or sad, she is breast-fed to her baby, and every time the baby gets sick, she even dies. The reason is that the nursing mother is emotionally annoyed and irritated, which leads to changes in physiology. The milk contains toxins that can harm the baby's life. According to research conducted by the American psychologist Alma Kay, when people undergo a drastic change in their psychology, there will be various kinds of chemical substances, and the gas exhaled in the mouth will also be different. Ordinary people breathe the breath into a cold glass tube. The condensed cream is a clear, colorless liquid. However, when a person angers or mourns, the blown gas will condense into a colored precipitate in the glass tube. Injecting it into animals not only causes the animals to react violently, but even dies within minutes. However, when animals are killed, they resent the feelings of sadness. How can they be non-toxic? In fact, when other animals are arrested and killed, their fear, anger, resentment, sadness, and distressed emotions often cause the cells to produce toxins. People eat meat with toxins, eat them in the mouth, and hide them in the body. Cells naturally contain a large amount of toxins, which leads to many unexpected diseases. The famous French chemist Jiande found a variety of animal poison in the form of 'tired poison'. He said: When the animals were extremely annoyed, the toxins were particularly large, and in the instant all over the body, if people ate This kind of meat will suffer great harm. So in the newspapers, news of meat poisoning has been heard.

As soon as the animal is killed, the bacteria in the body begin to grow and the tissue begins to decay. The body of animals is slaughtered in the slaughterhouse for a long period of time. It is stored, stored, transported, sold, bought, cooked, and eaten. In a series of operations, its cell tissue is constantly degraded, and bacteria continue to grow, resulting in a large number of harmful toxins. The toxin produced during the natural decay of meat, the scientist named MALONALDEHYDE, a chemical from Maqin, concentrates this chemical element and concentrates it on the mouse epidermis. Within three weeks, it causes cancer, especially overnight. Beef contains more toxins. The carcasses of meat eaters are not filled with the bodies of various animals, and at the same time they inhale a large number of life-threatening toxins.

In addition, in order to maintain crops and produce more food, farmers have to spray pesticides and apply various chemical fertilizers. When animals eat plants, they take pesticide toxins into the body and store them in the body fat layer. People eat animals. , In addition, the animal body contains more than ten times higher than the plant's pesticide toxins into the body, if the toxin cycle, the body turned into a shelter for toxins. According to Iowa State University, experiments have shown that most of the pesticide toxins in the human body are derived from meat. The content of vegetarians is less than half that of meat eaters. Therefore, vegetarianism can indeed be reduced due to toxins. Various diseases.

2, meat infectious diseases

Animals, like humans, suffer from a variety of different diseases; humans killing sick animals can directly infect bacteria and cause diseases. Those who have studied biology know that all kinds of meat under the microscope have seen various germs. This kind of pathogen enters the human body, and if it is light, it makes people sick, and when it is heavy, it cuts people's lives. The Americans had investigated and proved that human helminthosis is caused by eating beef, and pigs suffer from multiple lung diseases, eating pigs, and have a lot of lung diseases. As for liver worm disease, it is indeed because people like to eat raw fish and infection. Especially for cows suffering from cancer, butchers often only cut their cancerous parts and the remaining bodies are still sold to retailers for retail sale. Everyone knows that people suffering from cancer, both humans and animals, quickly pass through the bloodstream throughout their operations. However, if people eat cows with cancer and eat other parts of their body, will they infect cancer? Scientists discovered that if a liver of a diseased animal is fed to fish, the fish will immediately suffer from cancer, but human flesh is no different from transplanting all kinds of pathogens into its own body.

Now science has proven that humans cause cancer, liver diseases, trichinosis, and Salmonella infections, all from meat; other, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high cholesterol, arteriosclerosis, heart disease, etc., are all related to meat. Therefore, Dr. McChorin, a modern nutrition authority expert, said: ‘Anyone who wants to abandon the meat diet will benefit greatly. “Vegetarian doctor Dr.J.H.KEUOGG, a well-known vegetarian doctor, sat down and said: 'Eat a meal, you don’t have to worry. It’s a pleasure to eat whatever you eat.’ In his article “Why I Want Vegetarian Food,” Dr. OWENS PARRETT MD, MD, said: “When I was eating, I often had several delicious vegetarian foods, so I never thought of eating meat. In fact, because of the many diseases that have been studied in the laboratory for many years in the laboratory, as well as the illnesses caused by eating meat in the clinic, I have made my vegetarian heart more determined and I am convinced that I will not eat for the rest of my life. However, other intelligent human beings are willing to receive germs because of greed for their appetite, and they continue to send unpleasant meat with infectious bacteria into the body to make their stomachs and urine as the burial ground of animals and make their own bodies. It is really impossible to imagine that becoming an animal's place of burial.

A biochemist in the United States engaged in asparagus research and found that it contains a certain kind of protein that can proliferate new cells and resist the proliferation of cancer cells. It can also increase the speed of metabolism and increase human health. In addition, soybeans, mung beans, carrots, boiled vegetables, celery, potatoes, cabbage, asparagus, pumpkin, pure honey, kelp, seaweed, and so on, all have anti-cancer effect, eat more beneficial, especially kelp, seaweed contains a lot of iodine, It is a metamorphic agent that can decompose various hard tissues in the human body and plays an extremely important role in the prevention of lymphatic cancer.

More than 2,000 years ago, Shizun had already said in the Sangha Sutra: 'If the flesh eaters, the heavens are far away, their tone is often stinky, and they are prone to birth. “Buddhism promotes vegetarianism. It not only cleans people's stomachs and stomachs, prevents infections, but also prevents diseases. Because of vegetarianism, mainly grains, vegetables and fruits, and grains and other foods, contains a lot of fiber, especially cereals, in the digestive process, like a broom, cleaning intestinal filth, promote digestion, avoid constipation induced a variety of problems, Especially cancer. Modern medicine and nutrition experts all believe that if you want to stay healthy, it is best to eat a lot of fruits and vegetables every day to clean up the body tissue and purify the blood. So I said: Vegetarian can prevent the spread of germs and reduce human diseases.

(b) Vegetarian can change people's temperament

The reason why people are different from animals, in addition to the appearance of people, there are people's wisdom, human temperament. Whether people's temperament is noble or not depends on whether or not the person's personality is good or not. Confucius said: 'The gentleman's companion to beasts also saw his students couldn't bear to see their death, they heard their voices, they couldn't bear to eat their flesh, and they used the gentleman to cook the dishes.' This is precisely the manifestation of human tolerance and tolerance; People, even a little bit of patience and patience are not, can be described as humanity sinking, the rise of animal nature. Dr. Li Jiashiou, Ph.D. in physiology in France, said: 'The cows are good and they are often the same kind of human beings. When humans eat their flesh, they have far-reaching human nature, and their cattle are getting closer. Over time, the children and grandchildren inherit and unconsciously, and human nature becomes cattle's nature, so the food is in disorder. Repeatedly .... If people can not eat meat, they will naturally not infect the viciousness of livestock and naturally maintain the good nature of human nature.

British nutrition physiologists Dr. Ala Camin, and Dr. FR Ingus, once experimented with food for several bad teenagers with criminal records. As a result, they were very successful due to the use of semolina and fruit and vegetables as food. The impulsive personality of several young people was changed to quiet and gentle. Because of the minerals contained in plants, especially calcium, there is a nerve relaxing effect that makes it easy to be excited. Therefore, the so-called bad teenagers in the United Kingdom now, once they are arrested, are given foods that are particularly rich in calcium and indeed solve many problems that have occurred in many socially disadvantaged teenagers.

According to scientific reports, people with fluctuating personality are uneasy, and it is best to eat more vegetable salads and fresh fruit juices, especially soy, peanut and other calcium-containing foods. People who are impulsive and emotionally impulsive are obviously not rich in calcium, and they should eat more calcium-containing plants such as Kombu, celery, and radish. They can be used for marine kelp and kelp to reduce their anger. As for people with a melancholy personality, we should eat more soybeans, peanuts, and products rich in protein. Individuals who are lonely, do not like socialization, are not enthusiastic about public welfare, eat tropical fruits, help change their personality. It is known that vegetarianism can indeed change a person's character and make a person of irritable personality into a noble and gentle noble temperament.

Some people doubt that all the people in the world are learning Buddhas. They are compassionate and do not kill, chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep, and sheep, and are not filled with humans and threaten humanity. This kind of thinking is simply worrying. In addition to being made in the world
