    Those who have taken refuge in Buddhism are taboo in many aspects such as diet, personal life, and home

    1. Buddhism. There are many taboos in the diet of 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 that have a foul smell and peculiar smell, such as garlic, green onions, leeks, etc.

    2. The main taboos in Buddhism in personal life are: not to get married, not to accumulate personal wealth, etc. Buddhism believes that monks are responsible for the abbot of the Dharma, the continuation of the Buddha's wisdom and life, and therefore must be a single monk in order to achieve it, and accumulating private wealth is contrary to the original intention of the monks.

    3. Bi Ki Chuni.

    Male citizens should not enter the squatter houses of nuns, have another person present when speaking to bhikshunis, do not take the initiative to shake hands with bhikshunis, visit bhikshuni monasteries, worship Buddha, and dress neatly. Ladies should also be careful when visiting men's monasteries and do not go to places closed by monks.

    4. For lay people at home, Buddhism only requires that they practice a restrained life on a certain day of the month, that is, they do not wear incense decorations, do not watch and listen to songs and dances, and do not sit and lie on high and wide beds. The day of fasting is usually a lunar day.

    Beginning. Eight, ten.

    Fourth, looking at the sun, two.

    Ten. 3. 29th.

    5. Buddhism also pays some attention to the title of monks. Chinese generally refer to male monks as "monks" and female monks as "nuns", or "sisters", but this title is inaccurate, especially for nuns.

    6. Not eating snacks is also a requirement of Buddhism for monks, which is not only the need for the monk's prestige, but also the monk's practice need. Therefore, when living with monks, it is not advisable to offer smoke to monks. When dining at the same table, it is not appropriate to call vegetarian dishes, toast monks, persuade them to drink, or persuade them to eat meat, and it is not appropriate to propose a toast with monks.
