It has been one year since I became vegetarian. Celebrate myself!!

On 5th July 2005, the day I was found I had suffered from lung cancer, my family began to care about my dietary. I remembered, on 11th July 2005, I had a surgical operation. According to the advices of doctors, my family tried to improve my nutrition. When I could eat again (there was a short phase of fasting after the operation), I had one chaiba fish each day, and sometimes with an additional soft-shelled turtle. My family brought wild soft-shelled turtles from my hometown, and asked some others to bring them to my hospital in ChangSha city, and then my husband asked victualing houses to cook them for me. On the day of the first chemotherapy, i.e., 15th august 2005, I ate a WuLin duck (a kind of local snack). So bad, it deteriorated my illness, and the pain lasted for two days. My husband was scared, and immediately called my family to ChangSha city. My illness became more dangerous than before. Doctors of tumour department even didn’t know the reason for the situation. They believed that I was close to over, and told my family to prepare the final things. But my husband didn’t give up, and he ask doctors of thoracic surgery department to treat me. Doctor CHEN Jiu-ming said that my thorax was full of liquid, and it should be extracted. However, he could not find suitable rubber drainage tube in his department, tubes there were too large. Doctor QIU in tumour department solved the problem, and he got smaller ones. Doctor CHEN said it can help. when the tubes were inserted into my body, the liquid poured insurgently. Thanks to the two distinguee doctors, I was saved and became safe temporally. I was moved from tumour department to thoracic surgery department and stayed there for about a month. I lost about 10 Kg, and then went home. With the advices of doctors, mum cooked fishes for me every day. Then I had three chemotherapies.

In 2006, I learned Buddha. I heard LengYan mantra by accidence and liked it very much. I listened to it for 8 months, and I played it each time when I run my PC. Then, in June 2007, I found I was not interesting in meat again, and didn’t want to eat it. I became vegetarian. My family was afraid that I will be malnutrition without meat, and ask me to eat again. However, I couldn’t, and my doctors found I was not in malnutrition. I was better than other patients, so my family and doctor didn’t impose me again. This mouth, I felt dishes containing meat smelled badly. They sent out awfully, frowzy odours. I could not smell them, not to mention eating. Nevertheless, I found that patients in malnutrition were all meat-eaters, and no one of them was vegetarian. These death patients were all meat-eaters, too. A patient called NangZhi, my friend, is vegetarian, and lived well now. I just talked with her on the telephone.

Here I cited some words from explanation of my master about ChangShou sutras: “in our living, we should not eat snake, tiger, wolf, white elephant, beef, dog, bear, panther, and horse. We also should not eat some wild animals, including escargot, red carp, tortoise, and soft-shelled turtle. Wild soft-shelled turtle is very good at prapatti. And monopterus, it is also called eel, which is can artificially bred now. We should better don’t eat eel. Why? Eel is good at prapatti too. If you eat a prapatti eel, you will die immediately. Prapattie eel is known as gazing-moon eel. In night, it gazes at moon, so it gets the name. Gazing-moon is a kind of prapattie. In this way, eel can absorb refined energy of the universe. If you eat it, you will be poisoned to death. Don’t eat wild animals, which will put you to trouble. Well, wild animals, such as frog, escargot, we should not eat them. The best way is to be a vegetarian, for avoiding trouble. If you are converting disciple, you should be vegetarian. If not, why do you convert? If you are converting disciple and you eat meat, you still take life of other animals. Converting means that you should obey five precepts including refraining from killing, refraining from stealing, refraining from sexual misconduct, refraining from false speech, and refraining from use of intoxicants. Buddha told us, eating ten kinds of animals is equal to killing our parents and best relatives.”

My master also told us a story of himself: Cantonese dare to eat everything. When I came to GuanDong province the first time, I found a strange dish called “three squeaks”. We wanted to know what the dish is, so we ordered it. It took a very long time to see the dish. Oh, my god, the dish was live rats. The rats just were born!! They injected pitocin into pregnant rats, and make the dish using born rats. Why the dish was called “three squeaks”? When it was picked up using chopsticks, the rat squeaked. When it was dipped in sauce, it squeaked too. And when it was put into mouth, the rat squeaked the last time. We did not dare to take the dish. However, the other Cantonese were very happy, and they enjoyed it. Cantonese eat everything, so they were captured by SARS. That is retribution! When ghost king see this kind of evil deed, he will punish these bad persons using diseases. The persons will be captured by incredible diseases, and will not be cured forever!

I heard the two stories, and I didn’t want to, dared not to, and couldn’t, eat meat again. In fact, the meat we eat are all from slaughtered or fatality animals. If people eat meat from fatality animals, the fatal viruses will infect us through meat. Many people feel sick, pain and vomit after having infected meat, which are immediate effect of viruses. If the meats are from slaughtered animals, people also face a dangerous inevitable situation. That is, when animals are slaughtered, they will generate a lot of resentment and anger which make their body poisonous. How can people still be healthy after eating these meats? Experimental results illustrated that, if the exhaled gas of angry people, is collected with bottle, and then is injected to small animals, the animals will die shortly. Since human being is larger, poison in the meat can not kill human being quickly. This is a pathetic lucky of human being.

An American nutritionist, Doctor of Medicine, called Miller once said, “If we eat various kinds of meats too much, we will be valetudinarianism. There are many reasons; meat usually doesn’t contain enough nutrient elements, such as vitamins and carbohydrates; there exist many wasters and virus in bodies of animals; meat also decomposes after slaughtering. So, eating meat will cause the absorbing of superfluous waters and poisons for body of human being. Thus, many complicating diseases emerge, and how can meat-eaters be healthy?

From the scientific view of point, now days, the meat we eat is all from animals from artificial feedings. During the feeding, in order to seep up growing and gaining weight, the animals are fed with many kinds of medicines, including hormones, antibiotics, and depressants. At last, these terrible medicines will be transformed into body of human being inevitably. And, if the animals are infected by pestilence, human being will be captured too.

From humane view of point, modern slaughtering methods with automatic equipments can alleviate pains of slaughtered animals quickly. However, specialists point out that many animals can be ware of their final times, and they will cry and screech with tears. This situation is very tragic, and how can people always boost that they are merciful in nature?

Now, I know that, compared with meat, vegetables contain more comprehensive nutrition. An article of master HaiTao said: 1) human being can absorb enough protein from meat or vegetables. Although dairy products, eggs and meat contain proteins, some vegetables, such as pea and bean have a very high percentage of protein; 2) many people have a wrong viewpoint that animal protein is superior to vegetable protein, however, this is not true. As we know, herbivores have strong muscles and bones, and they only eat plants; 3) elephants have giant ivories. Hartebeests and fallow deer grow giant buckhorns in several months each year. They all only eat plants, 4) vegetables and fruits contain more important elements than any cooked dish and food, since they contain both known and unknown vitamin; 5) organic sodium of green pumpkin, summer squash, and retorted pumpkin is a ideal source for the supplement of sodium in liver; 6) vegetables containing abundant kalium can provide organic alkali for pancreas and salivary glands which are main kalium storehouses in human being; 7) please note, vegetables, including onion, luobo, mooli, garlic, shallot, cress, most of spices, and saline skins of fruits, are poisonous. For example, these vegetables are planted with crops to resist pests. And, in ancient, splices are used to remove smells of rotten meats, and now days, we use refrigerators for this purpose; 8) doctors think that garlic and shallot can increase excessive excretion of gastric acid, which is the main reason of many diseases. So both are not healthy foods; 9) according to Yoga theory, the acrimony of garlic and shallot, as it can cause tears and nasal mucus of us, disturbs spirits of us terribly. It also makes us can not meditation well, so we can not arrive in higher ambit. Now, as I find, these viewpoints are all true. Let’s be vegetarian forever!
