Three principles. Centuries of practice. A clearer way to live.
三个准则。数百年的实践。一种更清明的生活方式。
Pure Diet is practised today by a growing number of people across Asia, Europe, Australia and beyond. What they have in common is not a particular belief — it is a shared experience of feeling lighter, clearer, and more present.
如今，纯净素在亚洲、欧洲、澳洲及更广泛的地区有越来越多的践行者。将他们联系在一起的不是某种共同信仰，而是一种共同的体验：感觉更轻盈、更清明、更临在。
Pure Diet is a way of eating built on three clear principles, known as the 3As. It has roots in centuries of practice across Buddhist, Taoist, and Vedic traditions, and it fits naturally into modern life in any city.
纯净素是一种以三个清晰准则为基础的饮食方式，即"3A原则"。它植根于佛道两家与吠陀传统数百年的实践，同时自然地融入任何城市的现代生活。
It shares the plant-based foundation of veganism and goes further in two specific areas: removing the five alliums and avoiding alcohol. The intention is not purity as an ideal, but clarity as a lived experience.
它与素食主义共享植物性饮食的基础，并在两个具体方向上更进一步：去除五辛、避免酒精。它所追求的不是某种抽象的"纯洁"理想，而是一种可被真实体验的清明状态。
Pure Diet is fully plant-based. The reasoning is straightforward: our food choices reach further than our own plate. They touch the lives of other beings and the health of the environment we all share. Many people begin here, and find it easier than they expected.
纯净素是完全的植物性饮食。原因很简单：我们的饮食选择影响的不只是自己。它影响着其他生命的处境，以及我们共同居住的自然环境。许多人从这里开始，并发现比预期容易得多。
This is the principle that surprises people most, and also the one that tends to produce the most noticeable results. Across Buddhist, Taoist, and Vedic traditions, these five have long been understood to overstimulate the nervous system — agitating when eaten raw, dulling when cooked. Many practitioners report a shift in mental clarity within days of removing them. The best way to understand it is to try it for yourself.
这是最让人感到意外的准则，也往往是带来最显著变化的一条。在佛道两家与吠陀传统中，五辛长期被认为会过度刺激神经系统。生食令人烦躁，熟食令人昏沉。许多践行者在去除五辛后数日内，便感到头脑明显更清明。最好的理解方式，是亲自试一试。
The five: onion · garlic · leek · shallot · asafoetida (hing)
五辛：葱 · 蒜 · 韭 · 薤 · 兴渠（阿魏）
Alcohol changes the way we perceive and respond to the world. Choosing not to drink, in this context, is not about abstinence as a virtue. It is a practical decision to stay present — in conversation, in the body, in the moment. People who practise Pure Diet often describe sobriety not as a restriction, but as a reclaimed clarity.
酒精改变我们感知和回应世界的方式。在这里，选择不饮酒不是将戒断本身视为美德，而是一个保持临在的实际决定：在对话中、在身体里、在当下。许多践行者说，清醒不是一种限制，而是一种重新找回的清明。
Whole ingredients,
by preference.
全食材，
作为一种倾向。
Pure Diet does not prescribe a specific cooking style. In practice, most people who eat this way naturally gravitate toward whole, minimally processed ingredients — not because it is a rule, but because food closer to its natural state tends to taste better and sit more comfortably. This is a cooking sensibility, not a standard. What you do in the kitchen is yours to discover.
纯净素不规定具体的烹饪方式。在实践中，大多数这样饮食的人会自然倾向于选用天然、少加工的食材，不是因为这是规定，而是因为越接近本来面目的食物，往往味道更好，身体也更舒适。这是一种烹饪感性，不是标准。厨房里的一切，留给你自己去探索。
The connection between food and inner life has been observed across cultures for centuries. From the monasteries of East Asia to Vedantic philosophy, teachers and practitioners noticed that what we eat shapes how we think, how we feel, and how we show up for the people around us.
饮食与内在状态之间的关联，数百年来在不同文化中被反复观察和记录。从东亚的寺院到吠陀哲学的典籍，修行者和智者发现：我们所食之物，塑造我们的思维、感受，以及与身边人相处的方式。
Pure Diet does not belong to any single tradition. It draws from this shared body of understanding and names it clearly, so that anyone — whatever their background — can find their own way into it.
纯净素不属于任何单一传统。它汲取自这份跨越文化的共同认知，并给它一个清晰的名字，使任何人，无论背景如何，都能找到属于自己的切入点。
What began as a shared practice among a close community has steadily spread across continents. People who had never heard the term Pure Diet are trying it, experiencing something real, and passing it on.
最初在一个紧密社群中共同实践的饮食方式，正在稳步向各大洲扩展。许多从未听说过"纯净素"的人开始尝试，真实感受到了变化，并将它传递下去。

"Pure Diet is not a system to follow or an identity to adopt. It is a way of eating that invites you to pay attention — to what goes in, and to how you feel."
「纯净素不是一套需要遵守的体系，也不是一种需要套上的身份标签。它是一种饮食方式，邀请你留意：留意你放入口中的，以及你感受到的。」
