One saying is that the living beings in Ghost World like the smell of 五辛. So they will disturb the cultivators (to lick the cultivator's lip when they sleep or meditate, for example). 辣椒、薑 do not have strong smell like onions, green onions, garlics, and two others that I don't know much about and they are not in the market anyway.





五辛 are listed in Bodhisattva's Precepts Sutra. But it does not list the reasons. I will not discuss if the 生出淫念 or above reason about smell are right or wrong here in the Village since it won't be proper.
