不吃肉的緣故

我近年來不怎麼愛吃肉其實不是宗教的緣故。在三年前的某一天,突然想嘗試吃一個月的素,看看自己有多大的定力。結果吃著吃著,選擇素食已成為一種生活上的習慣了,每天的第一餐都不會碰肉,只有晚餐才會吃點肉。後來發現選吃素後,自己對食物也不再那麼挑剔,人又逐漸的瘦下來。不必花錢上減肥中心就能瘦下來,那是最好不過的了!當然自己積極的運動也有所幫助啦。

星雲大師的「迷悟之間2」曾提過素食本為儒家所提倡,所謂「見其生,不忍見其死;聞其聲,不忍食其肉,是以君子遠庖廚也。」可能就是從這不想殺生的念頭開始自己也盡量不吃活海鮮了。兩年前的某一天,在咖啡店買晚餐的時候,看到魚缸裡疊滿了被綁住的螃蟹,覺得它們太可怜了!為什麼人們要把它們捆在那兒,像在等待被判死刑呢?太殘忍了,自己真的無法再選擇吃螃蟹或其它活海鮮了!

如果有如星雲大師所說,素食有益於身體的健康、心性的柔和、性格的仁慈,以及耐力的增加等等,大家不妨也嘗試看看。只要自己吃的開心就好,不要太過計較或執著於自己「吃」的想法最好。
