    If you have taken the five precepts, you can't buy live animals to cook at home, and you can't eat raw seafood in restaurants.

    However, lay people who eat meat can also receive the five precepts, and after receiving the five precepts, they must be very cautious, not buying live animals to slaughter, and at most they can only eat three pure meats.

    It can be eaten, but the limited three-net meat can be eaten, and others cannot.

    Only those who take the bodhisattva vows cannot eat meat.

    2. Buddhas, Bodhisattvas do not drink all kinds of alcohol, nor do they teach them to become addicted to alcohol, because alcohol can produce immeasurable faults. Passing wine vessels and drinking with people has been rewarded for 500 generations without hands. If you drink it intentionally, if you teach others to drink, you will be guilty of a misdemeanor.

    Three,The son of the Buddha, the bodhisattva does not eat the flesh of sentient beings, and the husband who eats meat will cut off the seed of Buddha-nature compassion and obtain immeasurable sin, and all sentient beings will see it and give it up, so all meat cannot be eaten. If you eat it intentionally, you will be guilty of a misdemeanor.

    Fourth, the Buddha and the Bodhisattva do not eat five kinds of pungent things: garlic, small garlic, shallots, leeks, and prickly ferns. Five kinds of spices, all food, should not be mixed. If you eat it intentionally, you will be guilty of a misdemeanor.

    AmitabhaAlthough the Five Precepts are non-killing. But if you want to be more complete, then don't eat meat, because eating meat is also indirect killing.

    The benefits of not killing are very great, so why can't you keep your mouth shut?

    Regardless of whether vegetarian meat is eaten, as a food, what is actually eaten is the same. However, if you have the conditions to eat a vegetarian diet, and the vegetarian diet can meet the needs of the body, you cannot deliberately choose meat.

    Now that you have taken the five precepts, you should no longer do the killing of living beings, and the most important thing is to take care of your own mind.

    Don't underestimate the five precepts and think that they are easy to do. I am afraid that it is inconvenient to go into society, that is, I am not ready, and my perseverance is not enough. Therefore, do not take vows lightly.

    You can discuss with the master to accept one or two of them, if you can't, you can only take it yourself, try to do it, as evidenced by someone's heavenly eyes, cause and effect are not empty, and the merit is immeasurable.

    After receiving the five precepts, you are not allowed to eat meat.

    But to learn Buddhism at home, you need to experience the convenience of the avenue, and the precepts are like the Muni jewel of the Sanskrit net. Lively and shiny, if there is entertainment or inconvenience, you can eat meat side dishes. But the meat is not to be eaten.

    This is a minimum of respect for life, and when our material conditions are good, it is not that we cannot live without meat, unlike the previous Tibetan areas and ancient agricultural underdeveloped periods.

    Don't eat eggs either, you can check out Master Yinguang's writings to rejoice in merit and encourage fellow practitioners.

    AmitabhaYou can take the five precepts, but you must really fulfill the requirements of the three refuges and the five precepts.

    Although the five precepts do not say that you do not eat meat, you should know the evil retribution of eating meat when you study Buddhism. Even if you eat three clean meats, there will be evil retribution.

    And is it possible to substitute it with non-meat? Finally, even if you are not allowed to eat the three pure meats and things that contain meat, please recite the Buddha diligently, seek to be reborn in the Western Paradise, and dedicate merit to all sentient beings and the sentient beings you eat. Thanks to their offerings, I will definitely reincarnate in the Western Elysium in this life to repay them.

    Buddhists asked

    I am a layman who has received the five precepts, and when I travel abroad with my parents, I have meat dishes for a group meal, and some of them may be killed, what should I do?

    Venerable Zhidu replied:

    1. There is no vegetarian requirement for Wujie laymen, but for the sake of physical health factors, they try not to eat meat dishes such as garlic, green onions, leeks and onions.

    2. Killing animals for food will indeed bring you many retributions such as diseases; However, the problems you may encounter when traveling abroad to dine and eat will be "three clean meats" in terms of meat, so you may as well use it with caution.

    3. When traveling abroad, health is the key, so you may wish to give advice to the group: vegetarian as much as possible throughout the whole process to ensure a healthy diet.

    The main thing to do with the five precepts is to be careful not to buy live animals to kill and eat, because there are precepts in the five precepts not to kill.

    If you go vegetarian, it's voluntary. The Five Precepts do not prohibit meat.
