i often encounter people (mostly chinese) use the
酒肉穿肠过 (wine and meat simply passes through the
intestine) excuse when they see us eat vegetarian.
i think people anyhow use this phrase is a discredit to
Buddhism; high level 10th bhumni bodhisattva; "Ji Gong".
if one heard this, u can rebut them and said "if u can eat shit
and simply let it pass through ur intestine, then u can use the
phrase, if not, don't use the phrase!"
if "shit" is too coarse, use "rusty metal", as it's a true
story recorded in the Book of Buddhist Saints. He was 譬如金山活佛,
similar to the Ji Gong tv story.
破铜烂铁穿肠过。
