Question: Why do those who practice do not eat after lunch or have a meal for a solar eclipse?
Master Cheng Gang’s teachings: Don’t eat after noon is what I call vegetarianism, and vegetarianism means corresponding to Buddhism.Since diet is also one of the five desires, being greedy for diet can only increase survival and death.In addition, the morning is the heavenly food, the noon is the Buddha’s food, and the afternoon is the animal food, so the Buddha said that not eating after noon is conducive to practice.At that time, other Buddhas begged for food. Some disciples went to beg for food at the beginning without making precepts. Some families in the world should have rested because the night was too late. (Simple )It leads to some right or wrong and wrong.Therefore, Buddhism requires disciples not to eat after noon.But this is pointing out what the family said, and lay people do not have this precept.However, some family members don’t eat after noon, so they are so relaxed.Because of gluttony, the body is heavy, which hinders meditation and is not conducive to practice.
