Does the great monk of Xuyun not eat and drink in the afternoon?

*No**, the great monk of Xuyun does not have the habit of not eating and drinking in the afternoon. He usually eats two bowls of porridge or some potatoes in the morning, two large bowls of rice at noon, and sometimes a small bowl of noodles or some porridge in the evening. Although he sometimes took medicinal stones at night, this did not start after the Cloud Gate incident, and before that he had the habit of not eating in the afternoon.

In addition, the Great Monk Xuyun had particularly good teeth, and once he saw a layman eating fried broad beans, he also wanted to try it, and he ate it faster than the layman.

People have a bad smell because of food intake and metabolic residues, and the monk who eats a vegetarian diet all day long will naturally not smell, and people who have deep meditation have less energy consumption and naturally do not need too much food supplement.

What the senior brother on the first floor said is not right, how can we ordinary people know what Master Xuyun is and come again. Master Xuyun is now a bhikshu and has practiced diligently, so he will naturally have a body without peculiar smell. Master Shandao said that the person who recites the Buddha is the Fen Tuli flower among the people, and the same is true of Master Xuyun.

Master Xuyun has a high and profound realm, and he has long been enlightened, so it is not difficult to skip meals for a long time. Nowadays, there are also some practitioners who only eat a small amount of fruit for a long time, which is called "Bigu", which is still relatively common.

Everything has a way, like a dream bubble, like a fantasy or electricity, and it is also like a view.

The smell of the world and the smell of the world are only for the sake of propagating the Dharma and proving this life.

Only when you have already practiced and achieved success will there be no peculiar smell.

Because the void cloud is the return of the Bodhisattva of the Eight Lands, the Bodhisattva's body will not smell.

It's just a legend. I haven't seen anyone, how do you know that his diet and daily life are so detailed?

Whoever tells you these things is a fool.

There was a monk meditating at the foot of Mount Tsuen Wan and chanting Buddha all day long. At that time, Tsuen Wan was still a village, the villagers saw that the monk chanted the Buddha very respectfully, so they gave him food, who knew that the monk only took drinks, and the food was returned, he told the villagers that he only ate a few grains of rice every year, and the villagers were very strange, so many people paid attention to the monk, and even in the middle of the night, someone got up to see the monk, and observed for a long time, but only saw him meditating and not moving, and did not see him eating.

The monk finally found a benefactor, bought an old temple, renovated it to splendor, and invited him to be the abbot, and Wu Xinglao also participated in it. Later, the monk ate normally, but did not eat at noon, and he said that if he did not eat, he could not follow the benefactor's fate.

Later, Wu Xingzhi went to consult the old monk Xuyun, so he told the teacher about it, and asked him if this monk was very Taoist, but Xuyun did not answer the first question; Ask again, the void clouds are confused in other words; Three questions, Xuyun replied with a smile: Shakyamuni seems to be eating too. Seeing the teacher's answer, Wu Xingzhi asked:

Is it true or false that he doesn't eat? The virtual boss laughed and replied: Is your meal true or false?

Is my meal real or fake? Is Shakyamuni's eating real or fake? Wu Xingzhi didn't dare to ask anymore.

This is actually a Zen case. If you don't eat, some people ask about the truth and falsehood, so why don't you ask about the truth of eating? What is the relationship between eating and not eating and studying Buddhism?

If it is said that if you don't eat, then what about the path of the Buddha Buddha? After he returned to Hong Kong, he pondered the instructions of the old man to meditate, and felt that there was really a different realm, which showed that the old man had targeted his teachings, and he ignored the monk's affairs from then on.

Meditation realm. There are three kinds of realms.

1. The leaves are full.

Du empty mountain, where to find Fang.

zhi traces; I don't know what Zen is, even if it's right next to you, I can't start;

2. There is no one in Kongda Mountain, and the water is blooming;

When you first get a glimpse of the doorway, you can practice with a normal mind, but there are blades of grass around you;

3. The sky is eternal, and the wind and moon are once in the sky.

The realm of the master is unphased, and the world is "one".

What you are saying is that playing foqi is a special practice in Buddhism, which is engaged in intensive practice over a period of seven days. This version of the intensive exercise right.

There are two main categories of content, namely Zen Buddhism and Buddhism. Engaging in intensive meditation 7, which is called "meditating"; Specialized Buddha cast in 7, called "playing foqi." "Two 7s, there are certain etiquette and rules.

In principle, seven participants who live in the monastery for seven days to play a certain seven or passage to the special venue, are not allowed to leave the temple, involving vulgarity. The goal of Pitch 7 is to make the seven-day intensive training so that the trainees can better practice the results achieved.

As for eating, it is generally needed, just don't sleep, don't eat and have a small amount, but don't drink, hehe.

For details, you can check the address below.

Bigu is not to eat any cereals in a short period of time, which can have the effect of health preservation and ** disease, but it is not that you don't drink and don't eat, this also has a time limit, and this must consume some body fat.

In Buddhism, meditation copying is equivalent to temporarily restoring the original of immortality, and even the body is gone, what else to eat.

Seeing clearly is equivalent to not entering the meditation to prove the original, and the determination is also divided into depths, so the arhat has the four fruits to be proven, and then there is the bodhisattva's determination, and the deeper the determination, the deeper the determination.

The purer the nature, the less ignorance and contemplation, all the way to the Buddha, which is eternal and unchanging, in the concentration, the Buddha cannot detach from concentration, and detachment is not a Buddha, and this is a completely different state from the dwelling emptiness of an arhat, so the Hinayana arhat is very pitiful.

Bigu. Bibai Valley is not deliberately not eating or drinking, but when zhi cultivates to a certain level, it will naturally become a dao that does not need to be used to eat and drink water to draw power.

Take energy. As the practice deepens, there will be many times when the valley will be naturally opened, and the time for the valley will become longer and longer. According to records, there are many people who do not eat for ten days and a half. The old monk of Xuyun settled in Zhongnan Mountain, and it must be half a month.

Dharma Study.

Life still needs some wisdom to point to my name, and then point to the space, there is a link to the Sanhui Zen room on it, and there is one. Amitabha.

You often don't eat or drink, do you eat and drink all the time?

The old monk Xuyun was originally a Zen practitioner, a modern Zen master, and has no direct relationship with Maitreya Bodhisattva, but the old monk Xuyun has a little fate with Maitreya Bodhisattva.

According to the old monk himself, in the spring of 1951, when the old monk Xuyun was 120 years old, he launched a campaign to suppress the counter-revolution. At that time, some people falsely accused Yunmen Temple of secretly possessing gold, silver, generators, ordnance, and other items, so the monastery was sealed off, and more than 120 monks of the monastery were placed under house arrest on 8 April. Monk Xuyun was detained in the abbot's room, the doors and windows were closed, he was cut off from eating and drinking, and at the same time he was beaten to the point that his head and face were bleeding.

The old monk entered the meditation for eight days, and in the middle of the meditation, he traveled to the sky, saw Maitreya Bodhisattva in person, and listened to Maitreya Bodhisattva's lectures with Ananda and others. Maitreya Bodhisattva believed that the old monk Xuyun had not yet completed the task of transforming sentient beings in the world, so he persuaded him to return to Suva and complete the task of rebirth before going to the Pure Land. What is evocative is the verses of Maitreya Bodhisattva who taught the old monk Xuyun.

Maitreya Bodhisattva tells the profound meaning of only knowledge in the verses; Tell the old monk Xuyun the specific method of removing all kinds of confusion and troubles; Maitreya Bodhisattva also told the monk Xuyun to make great vows, endure great humiliation, and have a wide range of sentient beings, even after all kinds of tribulations, still do not retreat, and in the near future, they will definitely be able to reincarnate in the Pure Land.

Later, according to people, the old monk Xuyun did not die in the Pure Land, but was still reincarnated in the world to live sentient beings, which may be his own wish.

Eating the flesh of sentient beings is the karma of creating and killing, and the retribution itself is the retribution of short-lived life and illness. If you can live to be seventy or eighty years old, you are already virtuous on your ancestors, and if you want to live longer, it is absolutely impossible to be healthy.

Needless to say, people, that is, the animal kingdom, the healthiest and long-lived, huge figures, are elephants, rhinos, giraffes, these are vegetarian animals.

There is merit in being a vegetarian, no matter if you are a vegetarian on the first fifteenth day of junior high school, you will not have great pain in your later years.
