佛弟子为什么不能吃葱蒜？Why Buddha's disciples cannot eat onions & garlic?

 This article I found, draws reference to Suramgama Sutra. These are extracts.

Quote from Suramgama sutra:-

Translated as and with Personal Deduction added :- 

Now from Suramgama Samadhi Sutra, extract: 

Translated as:- 

BUT [scientific view] : 

I have not found what the [五辛] mentioned by Buddha actually refers to. 

Only the interpreted versions highlighted  them as : 

葱、蒜、韭、薤、兴渠 ~ 

Onion, garlic, leek, scallion, Xingqu (asafoetida).

The "Anti" alleged that the smell after ingesting these Five "Xin", will deter Divine but draws hungry-ghosts to One's sides. Thus will hinder achieving Samadhi.

Also these 5-Xin are said to "start-up" Desires!

I do not seek to Question Buddha's teachings, BUT would like to know "HOW MUCH or What Quantity if Ingested of these Five-Xin, will give rise to the problems stated in the Suramgama Sutra/ Suramgama Samadhi Sutra?

Dear all, do remember if a substance or food has Medicinal properties then it is not classified as Poison as in the Five precepts.

Go think and Enjoy!

Family Violence - Spousal Abuse? 家暴

 

About half an hour ago ~ A sudden vision of a badly abused face of a woman flashed past.

She looks like the one that married her girl friend, a solicitor, some years back.

They had their wedding in Thailand, at a popular resort.

The solicitor, is the "male" or "husband" and about twice her size in body mass. I happened to see a wedding photo and detected violence in this person.

Someone told me at that time that because "these type of marriages" are not "recognise" by Singapore Law, that's why many went to Thailand to "get married"!

All these aside, violence is violence, whether these two ladies are married to each other or not, agree?

This also brought to mind another lady that I met about 2 years back in Jakarta. She also exhibited a badly swollen and brutally beaten up face. But in her case, I advised her to not argue with anyone and keep quiet to avoid any arguments from escalating into violence.

I sincerely hope nothing happen to her after advising her on how to do good and dedicate good to all beings, in order to clear any approaching "misfortune".

Dear all, just remember that no one is your punch bag!

Usia Panjang = Dharma Satya Buddha – 长生不老=真佛密法

Teman-teman yang terkasih,

Mahaguru Lu di ceramahnya yang terbaru membahas mengenai prediksi dari para peramal nasib yang termasyhur perihal lama waktu hidupnya, NAMUN beliau juga menjelaskan tentang Kisah Liao-Fan, yang dengan melatih Bodhicitta dapat memutarbalikkan ramalan kehidupannya seperti yang telah diprediksi oleh para ahli nujum!

Masih dengan saran yang sama untuk kawan-kawan sekalian: Bersadhanalah dengan sungguh-sungguh dan berfokus pada bimbingan dari Mahaguru Lu. Jangan biarkan siapapun membingungkan dan mengalihkanmu dari bimbingan Mahaguru Lu!

2009-11-07 要廣傳真佛密法

什麼叫做「大乘佛法」？

大乘佛法就是說視眾生重於自己的，叫做「大乘佛法」。

什麼叫做「小乘佛法」呢？小乘就是視自己重於眾生的，就是「小乘佛法」。

大小乘是這樣子分的。

所以，剛才蓮廚法師講的，「四無量心」、「菩提心」、「利他的心」最重，就是大乘佛法，可以成就佛。

Oleh karenanya, yang Reverend Lotuschef baru saja katakan perihal [Empat Apramana / Batin Yang Tak Terhingga], [Bodhicitta], [Hati Yang Memberi Manfaat Bagi Para Insan] adalah hal yang sangat penting, demikianlah Dharma Buddha dari Mahayana, dengannya BISA mencapai Kebuddhaan.

小乘佛法不能成佛，為什麼不能，因為他利己，沒有利他，沒有菩提心。

佛菩薩是有菩提心的，沒有菩提心只能夠證到阿羅漢，只能夠證到緣覺。

嗡嘛呢唄咪吽。

Salam semuanya.

Terjemahan Bahasa: Usia Panjang = Dharma Satya Buddha – 长生不老=真佛密法

Dear all, 

In his recent sermon, GM Lu talks about top fortune teller's prediction of his lifespan, BUT he also mentioned the Story of Liao-Fan, who with cultivation of Bodhicitta attain changes that put experts prediction of his life into negative territory!

Still the same humble suggestion to all : Diligence cultivation with focus on GM Lu's guidance and do not let anyone distract you from GM Lu's guidances!

什麼叫做「大乘佛法」？

大乘佛法就是說視眾生重於自己的，叫做「大乘佛法」。

什麼叫做「小乘佛法」呢？小乘就是視自己重於眾生的，就是「小乘佛法」。

大小乘是這樣子分的。

所以，剛才蓮廚法師講的，「四無量心」、「菩提心」、「利他的心」最重，就是大乘佛法，可以成就佛。

Therefore, just now Reverend Lotuschef's statements of [4 Immeasurable Heart], [Boddhicitta], [Benefit Others' Heart] of most import, that is Mahayana's Buddha Dharma, CAN attain Buddhahood.

小乘佛法不能成佛，為什麼不能，因為他利己，沒有利他，沒有菩提心。

佛菩薩是有菩提心的，沒有菩提心只能夠證到阿羅漢，只能夠證到緣覺。
