乞食【英】

Begging

定义

印度僧人为资养色身而乞食于人的一种行仪，是一种清净的正命。原始意义有二：一者为自，省事修道。二者为他，福利世人。

It is an outward conduct of Indian monks to beg for the basic needs of living. This is a kind of purity through the condition of being a beggar. The original meaning of begging has two parts: firstly, it is for the self to be awakened and behave well; secondly, it is for others, to allow them to offer blessings to people in need.
