【The Meditation Session – what to do in between sessions 】- Appropriate diet – Not eating too little 3

Now we emphasize nutrition, to seriously talk about it, the country with the best nutrition should be the United States. Many of you have been there before, you all can understand. You all will have the opportunity to go. The majority of Americans get up in the morning and many of them don’t eat anything, just like that. Some will at most drink something or eat some fruit, or they may buy a cup of coffee on the road then a hot dog or sandwich, that is it! Lunch is the same, and at night they go home to have a decent meal. For us now, if we were to have two hot dogs for breakfast and lunch and have two cups of coffee, is that all for us? There is more to it! Yet we still feel that it is not enough. However, as far as nutrition is concerned, it is absolutely sufficient, this we have to recognize. Actually, the reason I specifically emphasize this point is for you to recognize this concept. When we digest something, it consumes energy; it uses a lot of energy. The more you eat, the more you need to digest – digestion is required! That is how it works. So when we eat a lot, actually, this is the greatest waste for us.

修持轨理 - 未修中间 : 饮食知量-非太减少3

现在我们讲营养，真正讲营养，世界上最营养的是美国这个区域。这里有人到过美国的，大家可以了解，到美国你们诸位都有机会去。美国人极大部分早晨起来，很多人根本不吃东西，这样。有的人最多喝一点什么，或者是吃一个水果，或者跑得去街上面买一杯咖啡，然后一个热狗，或者是一个三文治，好了！中午亦是如此，晚上回去认真地吃一下。我们现在把这个早晨跟中午的两个热狗、那个两杯咖啡，我们一餐就吃那么一点点吗？不止耶！那我们还觉得不够，所以论营养是绝对够了，这我们要了解。实际上我所以特别强调这点，这概念你们要认识。我们消化这个东西，花掉的体力，花掉的体力啊，花了很多，吃多了你要消化它，要消化它呀！这样。所以我们吃很多实际上呢，实在是对自己最大的浪费，就在这地方。
