Meng Tingwei: Music and vegetarianism are also practices of Buddhism

Source: Data map

Meng Tingwei has been studying Buddhism devoutly for many years and has also released a Buddhist music album "Amitabha".Meng Tingwei, who has been vegetarian for 8 years, said: The simpler and simpler life is, the happier it is.And her friends all said: Apart from not being ordained, she is simply a monk.

Meng Tingwei introduced that she started to learn Buddhism to save a puppy.In fact, when Meng Tingwei was a child, he knew nothing about Buddhism. He only knew that when he went to the temple, he had to worship very respectfully and burn incense. If he burned incense, the Bodhisattva would bless him, as if it was an exchange.And she really started to get in touch with it in 1994. She lived alone in Taipei, and her parents and relatives were in Taichung. The closest thing she was around her was the dog she raised, and they had a deep relationship.However, the situation changed. That year, the dog fell ill and was very serious. He was admitted to the animal hospital. Meng Tingwei felt the separation of life and death for the first time, and she seemed at a loss.A friend told her, then you can make a vow, you can vow to eat vegetarian food, please ask the Bodhisattva to ask him to save your puppy.Then he made a comeback with this mentality.However, the dog was not saved.She was in pain and really tasted the impermanence of life for the first time.

Later, the friend told her that if you hope that the puppy will not be a beast in the cycle of reincarnation, then you will insist on eating vegetarian food. After you have let go of a lot of life, such merit can make it reincarnate in our humanity, and you still have the fate to meet again.She thought what her friend said made sense, so she started to eat vegetarian food.Eating vegetarian food is also a kind of practice for Meng Tingwei. In fact, she especially likes to eat chicken and fish, and even feels uncomfortable if she doesn't eat it. In the first month of her vegetarian food, she worked very hard to fight with her mouth and stomach.Whenever desire strikes, she begins to read a large number of books on releasing animals and eating vegetarian food. She finds that it talks about reincarnation and compassion for not killing. It is really subtle. Her thoughts have changed and she can no longer eat meat.
