The Śūraṅgama Sūtra says: 'The Buddha told Ānanda: "These five kinds of pungent roots, when eaten cooked, arouse lust; eaten raw, they increase anger. In this world, even if a person who eats pungent roots can expound the twelve divisions of the canon, the gods and immortals of the ten directions will abhor their foul stench and all keep far away; the hungry ghosts, licking their lips after they eat, will constantly dwell with them. Their merit and virtue will dwindle day by day, and in the long run there will be no benefit. When such a person who eats pungent roots cultivates samādhi, bodhisattvas, gods, immortals, and the wholesome deities of the ten directions will not come to protect them, and the powerful demon kings will find their opportunity." The Buddha told Ānanda: "Those who cultivate bodhi must forever cut off the five pungent roots; this is called the first progressive stage of cultivation."' Coming from the Golden Mouth, is this not sincere? Alcohol, of course, goes without saying. The Baiyu Jing says: 'Once there was a poor man traveling on a road who found a bag of gold coins. With great joy in his heart, he immediately counted them. Before he finished counting, the owner of the coins suddenly arrived and snatched them all back. At that time, the man regretted that he had not left quickly, and his distress was extreme. Those who encounter the Buddhadharma are also like this: although they encounter the field of merit of the Three Jewels, they do not diligently practice with skillful means, but rather take pleasure in extensive learning. Suddenly their life ends, and they fall into the three evil paths, just like that foolish man whose money was snatched away by its owner.'
