A leisurely life that begins with the possession of a game character

The food is delivered by the service staff in a flash, but the advantage of not passing through the platform is that the quality and portion of the food delivered are better than those on the platform.

Moreover, the cost of the food delivery person is paid directly by the merchant, and the timeliness of delivery is also guaranteed.

No matter what happens, once an oligopoly appears, something will always go wrong.Platforms are being talked about everywhere these days, and it seems like nothing can be accomplished without platforms.

Food delivery platforms are essentially intermediaries.Before this platform appeared, Zhang Lan remembered that there were already similar methods around the school.

But at that time, we always called the merchant directly and then delivered it to the individual.At that time, food delivery usually involved several people ordering together, because the merchant would not deliver the food, and the round trip was not enough to cover the errands, so it was not appropriate to hire just one person.

With the development of the Internet era, food delivery platforms gradually began to appear.

Everything brought great convenience to people in the early days, but as the scale gradually developed later, signs of monopoly began to appear.

However, no matter how convenient it is initially, if it is in private hands and is still for profit, do not expect that it will always be beneficial to others.

Shaking her head and throwing all this away, what does this have to do with herself, Zhang Lan thought to herself, and handed a piece of cooked mutton to Yu Lingling.

Zhang Lan doesn't eat mutton or fatty meat, but everything else is fine.

After making up her mind some time ago, Zhang Lan began to gradually reduce the frequency of eating meat.Originally, from time to time, she would make pure lean pork shreds with Beijing sauce or stew some pork ribs for herself. During this time, Zhang Lan started to eat eggs frequently.

In fact, how to say about eating meat? In the earliest statement, there was never a statement that eating meat was not allowed.It just means that it is forbidden to eat some foods that are more irritating to the oral cavity.

For example, condiments such as onions, leeks, garlic, and coriander. Not eating meat is more about not killing animals. That is, if you eat meat, the source of the meat cannot be because you want to eat meat. Kill the slaughtered ones.

The reason why I don’t eat spicy food is that when I close my eyes and meditate, my mouth is filled with green onions and chives. How can I be careful?

In other words, in the ancient environment, it was impossible to clean the mouth enough. In this case, we can only say that eating certain foods is prohibited.

As time went by, with the rise of Mahayana Buddhism, Buddhist scriptures began to include the saying that Buddhists should follow the path of Bodhisattva and reach out to all sentient beings.

Since all sentient beings are to be saved, including animals, how can we save them if we eat the flesh of animals?Moreover, according to the Buddhist thought of cause and effect and reincarnation, the meat we eat now is likely to have been transformed by our parents, children, and relatives in previous lives. This is absolutely treasonous and unethical in ancient opinions.

For example, the "Buddha Speaks of Buddhist Medicine Sutra" records: "If a person eats meat, it is like eating his own son. All the animals are my parents, brothers, and wives, countless." The Brahma Net Sutra also says: "All meat is not allowed to be eaten. If the seed of the Buddha-nature of great compassion is cut off, all sentient beings will see it and abandon it. Therefore, all Bodhisattvas are not allowed to eat the flesh of all sentient beings, and eating meat will cause immeasurable sins." Therefore, under this current situation, Mahayana Buddhism gradually banned meat eating.

Another reason is that after the Tang Dynasty, in order to avoid the tragedy of "Dharma Difficulty" again, Chinese Buddhism, especially Zen Buddhism, made reforms so that monks would work to produce food themselves and no longer rely solely on donors for support.Temples are generally built in deep mountains and old forests. There is no fertile land for farming, and they can only meet the minimum living needs of the monks. There is no more food to feed livestock and brew fine wine. Naturally, a precept is formed to cut off wine and meat.

In Taoism, there is also a prohibition on eating spicy food. The reason here is similar to that in Buddhism. It is mainly for the purpose of cleaning the cavity. In ancient times, when there were no sanitary conditions, the choice was to prohibit it.

Among the prohibitions on meat, Taoism is divided into two categories.For those who are born outside the world, due to the same geographical location and the fact that they are not allowed to marry and have children, many of the precepts are similar to those of Buddhism.There is also a kind of rule that allows you to marry a wife and have children. In ancient times, it was biased towards the rules promoted by the ruling class.

This kind of practice mainly focuses on the four major meat dishes.Refers to beef, bird fish, swan geese and dog meat.

Among them, beef has been one of the most diligent animals since ancient times, and the cow eats grass all its life, squeezes out milk, and works all its life to help all living beings. It is too hard to eat, which is righteous.

Dogs are synonymous with loyalty. Since ancient times, dogs have been able to look after homes and yards and herd their owners' cattle.Therefore, it is inappropriate to kill and eat meat, and it violates the belief in loyalty, which is to say loyalty.

Eating wild goose meat is a rare phenomenon in modern times, but it was very common in ancient times.The reason why we don’t eat wild goose meat is that Taoism believes that wild geese are a symbol of chastity. Wild geese are absolutely monogamous. When one of the wild goose couples dies, the partner will never marry or stay alone for life, which is called chastity.

After the mullet spawns, the body will become very weak and may die at any time. At this time, some of the small mullet will swim to the mother's mouth and let the mother eat them to achieve the continuation of the mother's life. filial piety.

The above four "four don'ts" are actually a kind of feedback from ancient Taoist scholars on society at that time, namely loyalty, righteousness, chastity and filial piety.

It can be seen from this that the main point is that it is a belief promoted by Taoism in the ancient social production environment.

In modern times, with the gradual development of society, precepts are more about strengthening the belief in practice.As for the impact, it’s really not that big.

Put aside the concept of occultism and look at the scientific truth.Many things can be explained scientifically.

Leaving aside meat for the moment, the main purpose of abstaining from meat is to prevent irritating tastes in the mouth.When it comes to abstaining from meat, there is another saying in Taoism that refers to the five meat dishes and the three dislikes.

In addition to the five pungent-flavored plants representing the five meats, Sanyan refers to the three major categories of meat that have a pungent effect on the body.

In short, whether it is the five kinds of meat or the three kinds of disgust, the main purpose is to quit eating foods that are irritating to the body so that people can calm down.

After calming down, you can naturally start to meditate and visualize.

Only after you calm down can you have the thoughts to understand and learn related things.

Zhang Lan originally didn't understand these things. In his mind, abstaining from meat simply meant not eating meat.

In fact, regardless of whether one can practice to actual abilities, the essence of the precepts is to make people calm down better.

Only when you can calm down and stop being impulsive, and then think about something, will you gain different results.People will not be able to calm down and think about other things when their bodies feel strange. (End of chapter)
