長齋 [zhang zhai]—(Chángzhāi) — [Term] The continuous practice of 齋食 [zhai shi] (zhāishí). 齋食 [zhai shi] refers to the religious practice of not eating after noon. "Seven-day long-term abstinence" means maintaining abstinence for seven days. The Pratyutpanna Samadhi Sutra (般舟三昧經 [ban zhou san mei jing]) states: "One meal and long-term abstinence." The History of the Southern Dynasties (南史 [nan shi]) states: "Liu Qiu devoutly believed in Buddhism, wore coarse cloth, worshipped Buddha, and maintained long-term abstinence." Du Fu's poem (杜甫詩 [du fu shi]) states: "Su Jin maintained long-term abstinence before embroidered Buddhas."
長齋—【術語】齋食長續也。齋食者，謂不過中食之行法也。七日長齋云者，則七日之間齋食也。般舟三昧經曰：「一食長齋。」南史曰：「劉虯精信釋氏，衣粗布，禮佛長齋。」杜甫詩曰：「蘇晉長齋繡佛前。」

Chinese Buddhism (漢傳佛教, hanchuan fojiao) is the form of Buddhism that developed in China, blending Mahayana teachings with Daoist and Confucian thought. Its texts are mainly in Classical Chinese, based on translations from Sanskrit. Major schools include Chan (Zen), Pure Land, Tiantai, and Huayan. Chinese Buddhism has greatly influenced East Asian religion and culture.
