Chapter 219: Actually, I'm a little skeptical about Buddhism being a vegetarian
It was noon, when Ye Chui and Lin Wei rushed to the Lin family's villa, the vegetarian master invited by Zhang Ying had already made a lunch for Lafayette, Lafayette and Lin Zhengdao, Wu Haimei and Zhang Ying were sitting at the dining table to eat, and the master was standing aside holding a rosary in his hand and chanting Buddhist scriptures in his mouth, and the whole picture was filled with a very strange atmosphere......
Seeing Ye Trai and Lin Wei coming back, Wu Haimei immediately stood up from the dining table and came over to greet her, her face was full of depression, she took Ye Trai and Lin Wei's hands and whispered: "I don't know where this monk came from, Mom has finally become less obsessed with vegetarianism in the past two days, and she immediately returned to the prototype after being so stirred by her." ”
Lin Wei looked at the dishes on the table next to her, and asked Wu Haimei a little strangely: "Mom, is his cooking delicious?" ”
"It's not as good as a meal with leaf lobes." Wu Haimei pursed her lips, "It's as light as clear water, the oil is only thrown away, and there are no condiments such as green onions, ginger and garlic at all, so there is no way to swallow it at all." ”
"Then why is he still called a vegetarian master?" Lin Wei was a little puzzled, "Dad said on the phone that he is very famous." ”
"Didn't you see him chanting next to him?" Wu Haimei pointed to the monk and Lin Wei Ye Chui continued, "He said that as long as you listen to him chant the Buddha and have sincerity, these meals will naturally become extremely delicious, and whoever says that the food is not delicious is that she is not devout to the Buddha." ”
Lin Wei: "......"
Ye Hang: "......"
It turns out that this vegetarian master got his name like this......
"Old God Stick." Wu Haimei whispered resentfully.
Ye Chui looked at the old god stick seriously, oh no, it was a Buddhist master, this was a middle-aged monk who looked forty or fifty years old, and he was wearing a bright white and yellow robe, and the expression on his face was very peaceful. As Ye Shui came in, he was looking at Ye Tuo curiously.
The abstinence in Buddhism is not to eat meat, and the meat food is fishy. And meat represents condiments with a strong flavor such as green onions, ginger and garlic, and even in some sects. Even celery is a forbidden ingredient.
Use vegetarian dishes as ingredients, do not use onions, ginger and garlic, and put less oil, this dish is absolutely impossible to taste good, but it doesn't matter, chant the Buddha when eating, as long as the taste of the meal will naturally become delicious......
"Ye Hang, what did you bring?" Wu Haimei suddenly saw Ye Chui holding a bag in her hand at this time. Immediately asked.
"It's a little bit of ingredients that I prepared at home, and I just brought them here today." Ye Chui replied, I heard Lin Wei say that there was a vegetarian master from Buddhism who came to the Lin family's villa today, and Ye Chui naturally had to have a dispute with the other party, so he specially prepared some ingredients, all of which were "vegetarian meat" carefully made by Ye Chui in the past two days.
Wu Haimei's eyes lit up when she heard Ye Chui's words, and she immediately said: "That's great, I really can't eat this monk's food at all, you can hurry up to the kitchen and help me make some edible food." ”
Saying this, Wu Haimei walked over again and said to Lafayette. "Mom, I'm really not blessed to enjoy this master's vegetarian dishes, maybe I haven't reached that realm yet. So I'd better eat the food made by Ye Tuo, I like his food more. ”
Lafayette looked at Ye Chui, and then looked at the vegetarian dishes on the table in front of him, and his face subconsciously showed a touch of regret - this vegetarian dish is indeed difficult to eat, but the master next to him associated the deliciousness of vegetarian dishes with Buddhism, the deeper he believes in Buddhism, the more he will feel that these meals are delicious, and Lafayette has believed in Buddhism for a long time, even if she thinks these meals are not good. But when I ate it, I had to say that the meal was good, if the food was unpalatable. Doesn't that mean that she is not sincere enough to believe in Buddhism?
"Xiaoye, you're here." Lafayette smiled and said hello to Ye Chui, and during this time, her sense of Ye Chui rose in a straight line. After saying hello, he immediately introduced the monk beside Ye Chui, "This is Master Mingjing, who is profound in Buddhism, and his vegetarian dishes are very famous." ”
"Mr. Ye." Zhang Ying stood up again at this time and said, "Your cooking skills are also very exquisite, I tried my best to invite Master Spiegel over, in addition to wanting him to sit on a table of vegetarian dishes for Lafayette and talk about Buddhism, but also to let Mr. Ye You can have a chance to have a conversation with this master chef, how about it, why don't you also taste the taste of these vegetarian dishes." ”
These vegetarian dishes are bland and tasteless, such as one boiled cabbage, which is very different from the boiled cabbage made by Ye Chui, which is completely boiled cabbage with a little salt......
If Ye Chui eats these dishes and says that they are delicious, then he will definitely leave a hypocritical impression in Lafayette's heart, and he doesn't believe in Buddhism, how can he say that this dish is delicious?
But if Ye Chui wants to say that this dish is unpalatable, it will naturally cause Lafayette to be dissatisfied, thinking that Ye Chui is disrespecting Master Spiegel.
Zhang Ying wanted to put Ye Zhu in a dilemma.
However, it was obvious that Ye Trai was going to disappoint him, because Ye Trai didn't plan to taste this dish directly at all, he just smiled and said to the Master Spiegel: "Come and be rude, since I want to taste the master's dish, then naturally I have to make a dish for the master to taste first." ”
Ming Spiegel smiled, looking like a monk: "I have long heard that Ye Shi's chef is exquisite, and if I have the opportunity to see your cooking skills today, it will also be my honor." ”
"Then please wait a moment, Master." Ye Trai said with a smile, and then walked into the kitchen, and after less than a minute, he walked out again, holding a plate in his hand.
Ye Chui was prepared before he came, and took some of the ingredients that he had prepared recently, this ingredient only needs a simple plate to serve on the table, look carefully at the plate in Ye Chui's hand, the ingredients cut into pieces are golden in color, fresh and fragrant, this thing makes people can't tell what it is at a glance, but there is a mouth-watering charm.
Wu Haimei is a foodie after all, her eyes stared at the plate in Ye Chui's hand, she frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly thought of something: "Ye Chui, you shouldn't be roast duck, right?" You made me a crispy roast duck some time ago, and it seems to be very similar to this one......"
Indeed, I suddenly saw something in the plate of leaf hanging, golden yellow color. It also has a charred skin-like appearance, which is almost exactly the same as a roast duck cut into cubes!
Hearing Wu Haimei's words, Master Spiegel changed color. Zhang Ying next to her also deliberately showed an angry expression, and asked Ye Chui, "Mr. Ye." You're going too far, aren't you? Knowing that Master Spiegel is a profound master of Buddhism, you even served a meat dish for him to taste, isn't it difficult for a strong man? ”
Spiegel hurriedly put his hands together: "Amitabha." ”
"It's a vegetarian dish." Ye Chui said with a faint smile, "This is a dish made of winter bamboo shoots and tofu as the main ingredients, and there are no condiments with a strong flavor such as onions, ginger and garlic, I think this dish does not violate the rules of Buddhism, right?" ”
The name of the dish presented by Ye Chui is called vegetarian duck, which is a fake and real vegetarian meat dish made with vegan ingredients, which is the magic of Chinese food culture. Winter bamboo shoots are steamed and shredded, dried mushrooms are washed and cut into shreds, put into a hot oil pot and then put in several condiments such as monosodium glutamate, soy sauce, cooking wine, etc., stir-fry and mix into the flavor, you can imitate the unique fragrance of duck meat, wrap it in tofu skin for frying, as long as the craftsmanship is exquisite, you can vividly imitate the shape of roast duck.
This vegetarian duck has been prepared by Ye Chui for a long time, and is ready to be used for Lafayette to taste, so that she will gradually accept meat food. Now he just had it out.
Zhang Ying let Ye Chui taste Spiegel's dishes, which was a trap for Ye Chui to be in a dilemma, and Ye Chui let Spiegel taste vegetarian duck. It is also a trap that will put Spiegel in a dilemma - if Spiegel tastes this vegetarian duck, although the dish is vegetarian, but Spiegel will still break the precept, although he eats vegetarian food, but what he thinks in his heart is that he eats meat, which is breaking the vows.
In the eyes of Buddhist monks, it doesn't matter what you do, what matters is what you think in your heart, as if Ye Chui saw a Buddhist monk accusing online games in the previous life. Claiming to have killed a person in a game is the same as killing a real person, and going to hell after death.
(That's the case.) You can search for children's shoes~)
Ye Chui can use this to accuse Spiegel's Dharma of not being refined.
Of course, if Spiegel refuses to eat his vegetarian duck. That Ye Chui also has a lot of Buddhist theories to blame Mingjing.
And after Spiegel glanced at the vegetarian duck, he chose not to eat it.
I saw that he showed a look of pity, bowed his head and recited: "Pure bhikshus and bodhisattvas, walking on the road, do not trample grass, but pluck it with your hands?" How can the clouds be compassionate, take all sentient beings, and fill the flesh and blood? ”
Hearing these words, Lin Wei couldn't help but lean over to Ye Chui and asked in a low voice, "Ye Chui, what did he mean?" ”
Zhang Ying sneered and said, "Of course, what the master said is Buddhism, how can Mr. Ye understand?" ”
Ye Chui glanced at Zhang Ying with a smile, and then explained to Lin Wei: "This is the words in the Lengyan Sutra, which means that monks who keep the precepts and are quiet will not step on the grass on the road when they walk, let alone bear to pull it out. ”
Hearing Ye Chui's words, Lin Wei grew her mouth, she just asked casually, but she didn't expect Ye Chui to really understand the meaning of this, Wu Haimei, Lin Zhengdao, Lafayette and Zhang Ying also felt shocked, and looked at Ye Chui with some stunned.
Master Spiegel couldn't help but stop chanting in his mouth, and looked at Ye Chui with wide eyes.
Ye Chui looked at Master Spiegel with a smile and continued: "Master, is this Buddhist scripture you reciting at this time a little inappropriate? My dish may be called vegetarian duck, but it's actually a complete vegetarian meal, and you're blaming meat eaters -- don't think you can fool people by picking a few words from a Buddhist scripture. ”
“……”
The shock on Master Spiegel's face quickly calmed down, he looked at Ye Zhuo with some solemnity, and said lightly: "Vegetarian meat, you have already committed a sin, you don't eat meat in your mouth, but you are eating meat in your heart, this is a sin, my Buddhists will never eat these things." ”
The meaning of this is that although the dish is a vegetarian dish, if it is made into a meat dish, after eating it, you will also commit sinful karma, and you will not eat meat in your mouth, but you are eating meat in your heart - this is the same as the statement of the master who accused him of going to hell by playing online games.
Ye Chui smiled and continued: "Master, you said that people in Buddhism will not eat these vegetarian meats, but in fact, this category of vegetarian meat, also known as temple dishes, originated from monks, was invented by monks and monks, and has a long history in China, which can be traced back to the Liang Dynasty of the Southern Dynasty. ”
"This ......" Master Spiegel suddenly became a little anxious, and hurriedly said, "Those monks are all ordination breaking monks, after all, they are only a few......
"Master, you're wrong." Lin Zhengdao suddenly interjected next to him at this time, "Last year, I took my mother to Yanjing's Fahua Temple to worship the Buddha, and I ate the vegetarian food made by the temple at that time, I didn't think about it at that time, but now I feel that those vegetarian foods are actually vegetarian meat, but because of the vegetarian movement, the practice of vegetarian meat is not very authentic, and there is no original charm, but these practices are still handed down, Fahua Temple is a famous temple in China, it is said that there are various famous temples across the country that will have similar vegetarian feasts to entertain pilgrims, according to the master, Are these famous temples also belonging to a small number of cracking monks? ”
Lin Zhengdao is naturally on Ye Chui's side at the moment, and his words are naturally for Ye Chui's arguments.
Monastery cuisine is this characteristic, it is a very famous cuisine in China, although it is a vegetarian dish, but it is a cuisine that imitates meat dishes, this kind of cuisine is often more expensive than meat dishes, and the orthodox vegetarian feast is something that ordinary people cannot afford to eat.
"This ......" Spiegel obviously didn't know how to refute, because these were also facts, and his originally peaceful face also showed a faint doubt, on weekdays, he went around to talk about Buddhism, because of his master's name, that person was not respectful to him, and this was the first time that anyone dared to refute him like this.
Lafayette also had some doubts about Master Spiegel's Buddhist attainments, and looked at Spiegel with some doubts.
Zhang Ying showed an eager dark color, the mirror was invited by Zhang Hantao at a high price, but he didn't expect that he would be asked by Ye Chui.
And that's not all, because Ye Trai smiled faintly, and then said to Mingjing: "Master, in fact, I also have an opinion on Buddhism being a vegetarian. ”
It is almost a matter of course for monks to be vegetarian, but at this time, Ye Chui questioned it!
Spiegel already understood that the young man in front of him was not easy to mess with, and he said coldly, "What do you think? ”
"Buddhism allows humans to eat flowers and plants, because after death, human beings return to dust, and flowers and plants will grow, but if humans eat animals, they will also return to dust after death, and flowers and plants will grow, and animals feed on flowers and plants, so what is the difference between human eating cauliflower and eating animals? On the contrary, if we eat flowers and plants, and animals eat flowers and plants, doesn't that make us compete with animals for food? ”
Ye Trai asked with a smile. (To be continued)
