Welcome back to our channel. Today we will continue to explore the concept of the path
to health and longevity through diet. Furthermore, the three conditions principle encompasses.
The idea there of adapting one's diet to the individual constitution's geographic locations
and specific times. To maintain health and wellness, it is essential to harmonize the
sour-sweet, bitter-soft, and pungent, and regulate their consumption based on one's needs
and circumstances. Such an approach is instrumental in preventing and treating diseases
and promoting longevity. Autumn, with its gradual cool, is a season where you might
feel slight chills in the morning and evening. It also marks the arrival of dry. During this time,
people may be prone to coughs or flatten related issues. Therefore, it is advisable to incorporate
foods that clear the lungs and transform phlegm such as carrots, chestnuts, and lotus won't pour.
These foods can help balance the body's moisture and ease respiratory discomfort. Winter,
characterized by severe cold and frost, is a season when nature goes into hibernation.
At this time, cold pathogens tend to invade the body. It's important to eat warm, nourishing foods
or to eat eating meat and dairy to help ward off the cold and maintain inner balance. However,
it's equally crucial not to indulge in overly fatty and rich foods to prevent darkness,
ill-intended illnesses. In essence, the key to well-being lies in understanding the nature
of food adjusting one's diet according to seasonal changes and adhering to the three
conditions principle. This way, individuals can strive towards health, disease prevention,
and an extended and fulfilling life. During such times, we are susceptible to the intrusion
of cold influences. Rising earlier in the morning, it is advisable to choose warm porridge
or incorporate some foods with warming qualities to protect our bodies. However, we must exercise
caution not to indulge in excessively oily or heavily flavoured foods as they may lead to the
generation of excess moisture and phlegm. Of utmost importance is the practice of adhering
to the three conditions principle which entails selecting foods according to individual
constitutions, geographical locations, and the changing seasons. Pungent flavours facilitate
the circulation of key and blood-sweet flavours aid and in the nourishment and soothing of the
stomach. Ambientestrine-sour flavours, perfudy flavours aid in softening and bitter-bitter
food properties such as cold, hot, cool, and warm are categorised based on their impact on the body.
To illustrate, ill-natured foods like cucumbers and watermelons are best suited,
for hot, weather-wild, warm-natured foods should be consumed to balance the body's moisture and
ease discomfort. Therefore, the alignment of the body's constitution with the qualities of food
is vital for health and well-being. To maintain health, it is essential to harmonise the
different properties and flavours found in foods to understand the nutritional requirements
and adhere to seasonal dietary rules. Such an approach can lead to these prevention,
longevity, and overall well-being. It is important to bear in mind that the three
conditions principle is a valuable guideline for dietary choices, a guiding for individual needs
based on constitution, geographical location, and seasonal variations. These principles,
grounded in ancient wisdom, enable us to enhance our understanding of the profound interplay between
our bodies and the food we consume. As we continue our journey toward holistic health,
we can find guidance and inspiration in these age-old teachings. In the realm of recent creativity,
a new song has emerged in the city of Lushai. It raises a question, why has it garnered such
popular understanding that originates from the profound layers of culture,
yet its true essence orphanized within the wisdom cultivated by Buddhism over 2600 years ago?
The city of Lushai, a new song by Naive Deutsch, is derived from the ancient teachings of the Buddha.
It draws inspiration from the writings of the renowned philosopher Lushai
and his work The City of Lushai. The origin of Lushai can be traced back to Buddhist scriptures
and the tales they contain. These stories were originally circulated among the common people
of India and were later compiled by the eminent sage Ajaizwit, the chronicles of sacred teachings.
Moreover, the essence of such stories finds its roots in Buddhist teachings and is an evocative
blend of agents and folk tales intertwined with reality. By taking inspiration from Buddhist
stories, Lushai masterfully crafted the narrative of The City of Lushai. Let us delve further into
this story by exploring the texts of the Buddhist canon. In the 14th section of the
Buddhist Discourses, we encounter the account of The City of Lushai. This story provides insights
into how Lushai borrowed from the scriptures to weave a captivating tale. The original text spans
almost 6,000 characters, but for our purposes we shall focus on its opening narrative.
Once upon a time in a desolate and the seashore, there was a real horse. There was
Jesus whose form was pristine like unto purest silver. A Jew's countenance radiated a profound
azure. Its ney was aching to the resound of thundered knaps and its gallop like the swift
burst wind. It was a horse of a kind we cannot conceive within our ordinary framework of
knowledge. In the waters that we can typically grasp, there are fish, shrimps, crabs, lobsters,
and sea cucumbers. There are cold reefs and abundant seaweed. However, we have never heard
of such a majestic horse in the sea. It is Saint Bartholomew by Bohem. He was five hundred
mighty. They embarked with due reverence, praying to the sea gods for safety and favorable winds.
With five skilled captains to guide their vessels, they set forth on this adventurous journey.
However, they soon encountered a compassionate and tumultuous storm that engulfed their ships.
Fearful and disoriented, they struggled for survival until they were led by fate to the
shores of their unknown nameless island. It was there that they discovered the city of Lozhai.
Within this city, they found enchanting women unparalleled in their beauty and grace.
These women were Lozhai natives, and they extended a warm welcome to the bewildered.
The Lozhai maidens harbored secret and extraordinary skills. With grace and lull,
they captivated the merchants, who soon became ensnared in their intricate hens to ensure that
the waters of this place were pristine and the fragrance of flowers.
Proneated, they were accompanied by the melodious songs of birds. The walls of the city whitewashed
like pure snow glistened as if crafted from crystal. It was a realm that transported the
spirits of those who entered filling with awe and amazement. Within the walls of this city,
the Lozhai maidens urged the merchants to don new splendid attire and invited them to bathe in
fragrant pools of water. As the merchants indulged, they soon serenaded by music and
hymns. Yet their hearts burning with trepidation as the bewitched chenor of the maidens enveloped
them. In the distant past, there existed a place where people lived a life devoid of compassion
and empathy where they had grown accustomed to their ways. Days passed by as they observed the
inhabitants gradually relinquishing their humanity. Among these people, the enticing
allure of the enchanting Loktai city had taken hold. However, it was known that the city had
ties to an ancient Buddhist. Wisdom originated more than 2600 years ago. This wisdom was inspired
by the teachings of a Buddhist sage known as Katsumi and the new song Loktai city was delighted
for a short story penned by the renowned sage Sutra Loktai city. The origins of Loktai city
were intertwined with Buddhist scriptures aiming to enlighten those consumed by dread and desire.
Within the classic Buddhist scriptures, there were many stories about Loktai city and these
tales were initially transmitted orally among the people of Enya. These stories were adapted and
combined with real-life events figuring the creation of Loktai city. To understand this further we
should turn to the Buddhist canon specifically in in chapter 49 of the Katsumin's lands stories.
This reveals how the wisdom of Katsumi inspired the tales of Loktai city. The original text
consisted of nearly 6 000 characters but we shall focus on a segment that alludes
the essence of this story. Please find out the rest of story on our next video.
