interesting theory but unfortunately your diet does not affect your psychological progress towards enlightenment,if buddha teaches correctly there is no belief in god or some destiny or anything at all,but ur effort toward desired goal,in this case moksha,being a vegetarian can be a usefull "device" for a monk to train his desire for food to humble down, because that could be a great "wall" for someone who wants to free himself,but it is not necessary,it is all a psychological illusion

For a while I wouldn't buy meat or meat products, but I would eat meat if it was served as it would decay and be eaten by somthing anyway, human or micro organism, now I totally reject meat...but I will eat dairy products, but not eggs.

We have a choice we are omnivores and we can get our protien and nutrients from other sources, If humans could only digest meat, then that would be different.

When I watch on Youtube how we slaughter animals, I cringe and feel good that I quit meat. I believe in animal rights, and It discusts me to see humans kill or harm them. I have some little tiny ant bugs in my bathroom and I might kill them and say a prayer that they go someplace better!

Great person... Finally someone speaking loud and clear! Thank you ever so much!People compare humans and animals: if animals kill why not us? Humans are spirituals beings, and eating meat make us lose this spiritual part of ourselves (some people clearly just lost it!!) God (in each religion) asks people to NOT eat meat. That's always one of the first commandment: "Do not kill"So simpleStop looking at what animals do (like a little child) and start Now to behave as a HUMAN !!

it is sad 2 c some people use vegivegetarianism 2 put others down and use it to feel morally supirior(sick). when u build u'r house or monestry did u asked those insects and animal who lived in the buildind site " can i kick u out so i can build my house? . there is a word 4 this .... hypocracy. life is both good an bad.knowing it as it is, is the enlightment. being good is just being "good" but not en-ment.find the truth.come 2 peace with reality, come 2 turms with good and BAD. peace b vit u

vegetarianism is great. but this way of life was developed by good poeple in the past becos they believed it was possible to live without hurting other beings (animal). ofcos they did not know anything about micro biology or immunity system. Now we know. do not eat yogut, no boiling water, do not breath. unfortunately even the great way of non violence originated through ignorence. hense vegetarianism has nothing to do with enlightment. I'm sory. but try not to kill less beings as possible.

Interesting. Everything that lives kills to feed itself. Apparently, animals are viewed superior to celery. Killing celery is okay. Maybe if it screams louder, it will get an equal chance. Thanks for sharing.

In order to promote vegetarianism, animal-caring, energy-saving & environment-protection, the two biggest religious groups I-Kuan Tao and Buddhism - hold jointly the event on Oct. 26~27 in Kaohsiung County, Taiwan.

Animals eat each other due to the current vibrational level of Consciousness we create & inhabit. When we progress Spiritually, they will no longer kill - "When the lion lays down with the lamb". |
