【The Meditation Session – what to do in between sessions 】- Appropriate diet – Not eating too little 5

There was an elderly lady who came to the United States. She is 87 this year. According to her own description, at age 87 of course she wasn’t working. She said a few years back when she was 80 years old; she still carried heavy loads balanced on a pole on her shoulders. When she was asked, what do you eat? Ah! Some of you have been there, some haven’t. Let me tell you now, during the Cultural Revolution, it was such a hard time. There was nothing like the food that we have now! For example, we now toss away the yellowish vegetable leaves; they didn’t even have yellow leaves to eat. My goodness! Alas! When any little bit was picked, it was treasured and wasn’t thrown away. The little strings that fell from the turnips to the ground would certainly be picked up, washed, and eaten, just like that! The chaff and bran were all eaten, that’s all they got to eat! What nutrition is there? What vitamins are there? What protein is there? But she is [87] years old now! She still shouldered things totaling over one hundred catty [equal to 50 kg]. I’ve met this elder in person. Her son is one of the partners of Diho Market in Los Angeles. You can see for yourself personally… oh, she was looking quite energetic!

修持轨理 - 未修中间 : 饮食知量-非太减少5

还有一个老太太到美国来，她今年八十七岁了，她自己叙述她，她八十七岁当然不做事情了，她前几年八十岁的时候啊，她还自己一个挑担子。问她吃些什么啊？唉！你们有人去过，有人没去过，我现在告诉你们，她大陆上面那时候文化大革命，那个时候真是苦得啊，那个哪有什么现在我们这么吃东西啊！那个譬如说我们现在菜黄了以后，那都是丢掉了；她们还有黄菜吃啊？我的天啊！唉！那个捡到随便一点点，那一点都舍不得。那个萝卜拔出来那须须掉在地下，一定拿出来洗洗干净，一样就把它吃了，就这样的！那个粗糠拿来，那个细糠也拿来吃，就吃这些! 还有什么营养？还有什么维他命？还有什么蛋白质？但是她今年八十岁啰！她还跑得去挑一百多斤的东西，这个老人家我亲眼看见。她的儿子就是在洛杉矶顶好超级市场的一个老板。你们每一个人都可以亲眼……哦,她跑得精神好得很！
