Can a Buddhist eat meat? It's complicated
#1

In the Mahayana Buddhist traditions of China, Taiwan, Vietnam and Korea, meat-eating is prohibited. 

In others, such as in some Theravadin traditions and Tibetan Buddhism, meat-eating is acceptable.

Here, a brief comparison with Christianity is instructive. Christian authorities propose that God gave humans dominion over animals. For much of the history of Christianity, the suffering of animals has been ignored. Humans are seen as higher on the Chain of Being due to their having souls.

Best is don't be bothered by all these Mahayana or Theravada craps. Just follow the Buddha's teaching in the Nikaya and the Buddha directly. The Buddha ate meat and the last meal was a dish of pig if I remember correctly.    Rolleyes

Why avoid meat? 
No killing. 
Practise compassion. 
That's Buddha's teaching.

I tell you the truth, dun eat meat from animals and fishes reared for their meat

It's like caging you and feeding with food to make you grow fat faster and abusing your body, then slaughter you

Such meat confirm carries very bad Karmic undertones

Eat such meat at your own peril

The soul is that part of us where our mind and emotions like love, sadness, anger etc reside.  If you observe ("Observer" Rotfl) animals, do you think they really have no souls?

The spirit is that part of us which enables us to connect and communicate with God. We have a spirt, animals don't

We were made in the Image of God, animals were not, and that's is the difference between animals and us.

Then why we see so many born with defects, some blind, some dumb, some crippled, some with hiv, some with cancer, some with dual sex organs, some become faggots like you, etc, etc ... they are image of God, is it?

Please use your brain a bit and refrain from such exhortations if you are as ignorant as your father and mother who brought you here because of lust which they call it love

Understand?

The things you wrote about are a result of a perfect Creation that went awry because of sin.

We were not even meant to be born to die.  We were meant to be born to live forever.  God did not tell Adam and Eve to multiple, make babies and watch them die one by one.

Why are you troubled by all these?   Christ came and demonstrated to us.....He healed the leper.  He restored vision to a blind man.  We need not worry about sickness and imperfect bodies, the things you wrote in para one.

Then, Christ raised Lazarus from the dead to show that He had power over Death.

And in the ultimate demonstration of God's defeat of Death, Christ rose on the 3rd day and then ascended into heaven to sit at the right hand of God the Father.  He will return to destroy the enemies of God, chief of whom is Satan.  Do not ask me where, when, what and how.  If you want the answers for all those, pray.  Smile

We were created to be fruitarian.

And the lion didn't get at our carotid (the blood vessel at your neck if you don't know your own body well enough to know where's that), nor did the cobra "spit" venom at you.  They were all made to be Adam's companions, but in the end, it was Eve who could do the job....

God did not create animals (first) and then create Adam and tell him:  here!  see all these four legged, two legged buggers there?  They are for your buffet table!  You can do your satay or bak kwa, whichever you prefer!  Or tenderloin steak, medium rare!  Rolleyes

I think you just like to post, like LKSM

Posting nonsense is also ok for you, since it contributes to your post count

If God says it is ok for man to kill animals for food and for fun, then it is NOT MY GOD

The logic is that if u don eat there is no demand. So no one will kill as they cannot make money from this.

But in planting vegetable lot of animal are kill when we plough or dig the soil. So???

Then again the air we breath also have being. How??? Dont need to breath???

So long u don’t see. U don’t do it. And u don hear n suspect it is kill for u. It is ok to eat.

Agree too if u don eat meat. Then it go to help less killing. No demand.

But don’t because of this small thing like eating meat n u miss the forest for the tree.

Also the Bible said that the kingdom of heaven is not a matter of eating n drinking.

Buddha main point Buddha said
Avoid evil. Do good. Purify your mind.

May u all be well n happy.

hey

YOU MOTHERFARKER

you dont try to alter the wriiten book

Genesis 1 begins with:
Genesis 1:1-3 Wrote:In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, 'Let there be light' and there was light.
This account goes on to describe the seven days of creation:
  • in the beginning - God started creation
  • the first day - light was created
  • the second day - the sky was created
  • the third day - dry land, seas, plants and trees were created
  • the fourth day - the Sun, Moon and stars were created
  • the fifth day - creatures that live in the sea and creatures that fly were created
  • the sixth day - animals that live on the land and finally humans, made in the image of God were created
  • by day seven - God finished his work of creation and rested, making the seventh day a special holy day.

I asked you to pray.  Make sure you pray to the right God.  Your above post suggests strongly that you'd prayed to the wrong one.  Do not go and pray to random spirits, to false gods, or to demons.  Rolleyes

Cool. Don’t quarrel.

Buddha said there is no absolute right or wrong.

In other words. Nothing is 100% right or wrong.

Even pure gold can never be 100% pure.

U don’t throw your plate of rice away just because there is a black seed in it or certain item u do not like. . U can still eat the whole plate but leave that black seed or thing u do not like to eat alone or throw it away.
