You can drink milk and not eggs. Eggs are meat and can give birth to life, so don't eat them.

You can drink milk, but you can't eat eggs. Satisfied.

You can drink milk and not eggs.

OK.

Buddhism does not prohibit drinking milk and the like. However, for Buddhist monks, all beings are equal, so things that are obtained from animals, such as milk, can still be eaten without eating.

Buddhist dietary taboos. Buddhism stipulates that there are many dietary taboos for monks, among which vegetarianism is the most basic and important. The concept of a vegetarian diet includes not eating "meat" and "fishy".

"Meat" refers to vegetables with foul odors and peculiar smells, such as garlic, green onions, leeks, etc. The so-called "fishy" refers to meat, that is, the meat of various animals, and even eggs.

Monks can drink milk, but it is better not to drink it.

1. From the point of view of compassion, milk should not be drunk. Although the precepts do not explicitly prohibit the drinking of milk, cow milk is the milk that cows feed their calves, and it is a sign of compassion for humans to deprive them of the milk that should belong to their calves for the sake of their own greed. And because many people drink milk, there is a large market demand that has led to modern production methods, the cow as a milk-producing machine, not to let its own children drink the mother's milk, this is a very cruel thing, if everyone does not drink, such a thing will not appear, from this point of view, not only monks should not drink, everyone should not drink.

2. From a spiritual point of view, you should not drink milk. The common principle of monastic practice should not contradict the principle of "diligent practice of precepts, concentration of wisdom, and extinguishing greed and hatred." The Buddha prescribed that monks should not eat out of time, that is, after lunch, which is also to cut off people's greed from food.

Drinking milk is often for the sake of the body's nourishment or for its taste, which is contrary to the principles of spiritual practice.

*Monks can drink milk**.

In Buddhism, monks are not forbidden to drink milk. In fact, monks need to maintain their physical health in order to better practice and spread the Dharma. In some Buddhist countries, such as Sri Lanka and Myanmar, milk is seen as a sacred gift and is used in Buddhist ceremonies.

However, there are also a few things that monks need to be aware of when drinking milk. First of all, monks should not drink milk to satisfy their appetites, but should do so for the sake of health and spiritual practice. Secondly, monks should not waste milk, but should cherish every drop of resources.

Finally, monks also need to follow Buddhist precepts when drinking milk, such as not drinking it excessively and not taking it for granted, but rather as a precious gift.

Although Buddhism does not prohibit monks from drinking milk, in the Central Plains Buddhism of China, monks are forbidden to consume meat, including milk. This is because the Central Plains Sutra Buddhism believes that eating meat destroys the practitioner's pure precepts and prevents them from concentrating on their practice. But this does not affect the monks of other branches of Buddhism from drinking milk.

In fact, the monk's belief that eggs are not edible has been clearly stated in Buddhist scriptures. Buddhist Tripitaka

There is a cloud: "All eggs are not edible, and there are children." "Buddhism believes that all sperm and eggs have a chance to grow into life, so they are fishy, inedible, eggs, fish roe.

And so on.

There is a record on page 81 of the Continuation of Yinguang Master's Notes, Volume I, about whether Buddhism eats eggs: "Whether or not the food of chicken eggs has been a lawsuit for a long time, but reasonable people will never take food as a right. Good eaters, clever in debate, in fact, self-proclaimed.

Why is it said that there are male eggs, some are inedible, and no male eggs will not give birth to chicks to eat. Those who have not been fertilized and cannot hatch chicks can eat them.

No, you can't

Because in Buddhism the Tripitaka.

Buddhism believes that all fertilized eggs have a chance to grow into life, and Buddhism emphasizes that it does not harm life, so it is not possible to eat fertilized eggs, that is, eggs are inedible.

An unfertilized egg is not counted as a living organism, but it is also inedible. If it can be eaten, according to this logic, it becomes the principle that living animals cannot be eaten, but dead animals can be eaten, which is contrary to the purpose of Buddhism.

What can a monk eat

The general perception is that eat honey and dairy products.

It doesn't count as killing per se. But it depends on whether there is killing in the production process and whether it is animal cruelty. For example, honey may be killed during the production process, so honey should not be eaten.

And now the milk, which is produced by professional cows, is not taken from the calf's mouth, and the calf will not starve to death because of drinking milk, there is no problem.

It is also important to note that for monks who are ordained, it is not enough to not eat meat. Because appetite is also a kind of human desire, and it is also an obstacle to spiritual practice, so you can't eat delicious food or enjoy the taste of it when you eat.

Monks do not eat eggs, for eggs monks are not edible, in fact, in the Buddhist scriptures have been clearly discussed, Buddhism "Tripitaka" believes that all sperm eggs have the opportunity to grow into life, so in Buddhism eggs are inedible.

Buddhism emphasizes not harming life, so you can't eat fertilized eggs. Although an unfertilized egg is not yet counted as a living organism, it is not edible. Otherwise, according to this logic, it becomes the principle that living animals cannot be eaten, but dead animals can be eaten, which is contrary to the purpose of Buddhism.

In fact, at the beginning of Buddhism's introduction to China, Buddhists could eat meat. In the Liang Dynasty, the fanatical Buddhists Emperor Wu of Liang ordered all monks in the country to be vegetarian and not to eat meat. Since then, Chinese Buddhism in China has begun a vegetarian tradition for thousands of years.

Buddhism

Han Buddhism imitated Taoism, and the position of abbot was established in large monasteries. The current abbot is almost the complete king of the monastery, and the whole monastery must serve him and obey his command. The abbot manages and directs the finances, personnel, large and small activities, construction, future planning, and daily meals of the temple.

The abbot of the temple lives alone in a suite or a building, which is called the abbot's house or abbot's room. The abbot has a special person to serve, and the institution that serves him is called the mantle liao, and the mantle is one of the eight deacons of the jungle, leading as little as two or three people and more than five or six or seven or eight people to serve the abbot's food, clothing, and daily life. When the abbot goes out, he generally takes people to follow, and his attendants are called waiters, and there is usually at least one waiter, and there are also two or three.

The abbot is generally the leader of the local Buddhist Association, some may still be deputies to the National People's Congress or the Buddhist Association, and some are deputies to the National People's Congress, and Xuecheng has also been a member of the Standing Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

Great monks don't eat eggs, eggs are the meaning of chickens.

As an animal, he is not purified after eating, his heart becomes heavy, and it is not easy to meditate. This one must be like this.

In addition, there is cause and effect.

No, Shakyamuni Buddha also received goat's milk and eggs on the way to transform sentient beings. Of course, eggs can be eaten, but we must understand the way of using things, and use them well without pretending to be things.

Eating eggs will be a rule, and eggs are also taboo foods.

Eggs are generally not used in the Buddhist diet. But seriously ill monks are allowed to eat eggs.

Monks are not allowed to eat eggs or drink milk, because these two things are seriously considered meat in the monks, and they will never touch these foods in order to keep the rules and precepts of the Buddhist family.

Monks can eat eggs and drink milk, because if you eat vegetarian for a long time, your body will lack a lot of nutrients, so eating eggs and drinking milk can keep you healthy.

It's edible. The monks pay attention to not killing, but nutrition also has to keep up, as long as they do not eat living animals, other foods are edible.

Of course, you can eat eggs and milk, and there is no positive way to eat meat, so there is no such thing as breaking the vows. They will definitely eat these foods in order to replenish their nutrition.

The author should not be a Buddhist, so you still have to think more when you speak, and don't mislead others
