素食

不仅代表一种饮食习惯

更是佛教慈悲精神的践行

 Health is the best wealth  

说到素食,和佛教的关系非常密切。

在中国,传统的素食者多半是出于信仰而作出这个选择。中国佛教协会曾对僧人有过生活上的要求,即“素食、独身、僧装”。从中,可以看出汉传佛教对素食的重视程度。

但在南传和藏传佛教中,却没有相关规定。这是为什么呢?因为南传继承原始佛教的传统,托钵乞食,施主们给什么就吃什么,所以对饮食没有特别禁忌。

至于藏传,虽和汉传同属大乘佛教,但藏地气候寒冷,少有蔬菜,历史上也没有形成素食的习惯。当然,他们虽然不禁肉食,但必须是三净肉,即不见杀、不闻杀、不为你杀。

到了今天,随着三大语系佛教相互交流的深入,以及交通和生活条件的极大改善,也有不少南传和藏传的大德们开始大力提倡素食。

因为素食不仅代表了一种饮食习惯,更是源自佛教慈悲精神的一种修行。所以,素食虽然是作为汉传佛教特有的生活方式,但它的影响正在不断扩大。

与此同时,随着人们对动物保护和环境保护意识的增强,以及对健康、营养等问题的重新认识,还有不少人因为宗教以外的原因选择了素食,其中不乏文体明星和各界知名人士。

佛教并不要求人一定要吃素,但却主张不要杀生,可以买现成的来吃,但自己不要去杀生。如果不是真的很习惯吃素,可以以渐进的方法来吃素,可以选择初一、十五日或六斋日吃素,或平日只吃肉边菜、三净肉也可以。

禅宗六祖惠能大师顿悟之后,为了避开四处争夺衣钵的人,在猎人队中藏身了十五年之久。

逢到猎人们把打来的野兽生火煮食的时候,惠能大师就到荒山野谷找些可以吃的树叶、野菜回来,放在锅里煮。

所谓真正的慈悲,不一定是在形式上吃什么,不能吃什么,素食的意义是不断大悲种,因此,学佛不只是吃素而已。

素食的目的,首先是为了帮助我们戒除杀心和嗔心。一个没有杀心的人,任何人都不会害怕你,这是对众生普遍给予无畏施;其次有利于慈悲心的生起,因为不忍,所以不杀,内心常怀柔软;第三,可以永远消除内在的仇恨心理,所谓仁者无敌,当世间再没有人与你为敌,又需要去恨谁、恼谁呢;

现代人们对素食有种种的误解和偏见,总以为吃素会导致营养不良,或以为吃素是生活窘迫的无奈选择,等等,这些观念严重阻碍了素食的推广。其实,近代的种种研究表明,不论从人体的生理结构,还是蔬果的营养成分来说,素食是远比肉食更适合人类,更有益身心健康。有关素食营养价值、养生功效等方面的书籍和影音资料也日益增多,广受欢迎。可以说,素食正在呈现世界化的流行趋势。
