Explain. Does body donation count as a prestigious meal?

Determining whether a donation of the body can be a "prestige meal" requires a general separation between "eat" and "prestige meal" in the sense of bodhisattva.

The meaning of eating prestige

Eating prestige is giving at the highest level of prestige.

It's a sacrifice, the dearest thing.

Organ

Blood.

Flesh.

Life

Without hoping for a secular return.

In the Shadh Bible, Bodhisattva is often given as an example that

Give up your eyes.

Abandon organs

Give up your life.

For the benefit of others and for the preservation of righteousness.

So the essence of prestige lies not only in the "giving," but in the pure state of sacrifice.

Body donation in view of prestige.

Donating the body for medical education or for medical benefit after death.

It is certainly an alms, giving up what is his own for the benefit of others.

Songs often mentioned include

Medical education

Helps develop disease

Benefit many people in the future.

At this level is prestige.

---

When can it be a prestige?

If the donor

Understand the value of the self-body.

There's a natural bond.

But give up for the common good.

Without regret.

Giving like this can approach the level of prestige.

Because it is the renunciation of something more valuable to oneself than ordinary property.

---

Can it be prestigious?

The answer is

It is in terms of intent, but it may not be judged by external acts alone.

For example,

Two people donate the same body.

First person

Follow the stream

Didn't consider anything special.

Another person

Set the mind to devote the whole body.

Not clinging in the ring.

Desire to benefit animals

Not hoping for fame or rewards.

The exterior is the same.

But the mental quality is very different.

In prestige, the giver's mind is more important than the object it gives.

View of the King, the black monkey

The black monkeys often teach that

> "Merit lies in intent."

And

> "The highest giving is giving without hope in return."

So if there's a body donor,

Mercy.

Sacrifice

Not hoping for fame.

Not hoping for a return.

It is considered to create a high-powered food.

But whether to reach the level of prestige depends on mental strength, purity of intent, and the degree of loosening of adherence to the giver's identity.

---

Something even more important than body donation.

In Buddhism.

What the Buddha praises supreme is not just the renunciation of the body, but the renunciation.

Greed.

Anger

Obsession

Selfishness.

Because even if you give up your wealth, give up your organs, or give up your body, if you are full of ego and adherence, your dignity is not perfect.

So a body donation can be prestigious, prestigious, or even close to prestige, depending on the intent, sacrifice, and release level of the giver rather than the donation itself.

Finally, the core of the prestigious meal is the renunciation of the most beloved, with compassion and wisdom as the basis, and no longer as "ours" or "ourselves."
