One who loves his family never deprives other of his family

The reason for writing these posts is to make people aware what it means to be eating animal flesh.

A small simple example given by a Buddhist monk- If one doesnt understands this , its hard to believe if he really loves himself and the living world around him..Here’s a simple question for everyone to answer–what will your mother do if you were forcibly taken away from her? will she cry? most of all will say ‘yes’..what will all the mother’s of the world say? they ll say yes we ‘ll cry and try to help our children.. just think what does a female dog do when you try to take her pup away??will she let you do that..? no she wont.

WHY?? because dogs also have feelings,so does all the other animals on earth have..so if dogs can fight for their puppies ,mothers can fight for their children..then why to kill other animals who cant defend themselves from the butchers??

keep yourself in the small childs place,then in the puppies place..how safe you are.and now keep yourself in the animals place who cant defend himself from being butchered.. think deeper ,you ll get the thing what this monk wants to say..

3 forms of killing

“The purchaser of flesh performs himsa (violence) by his wealth; he who eats flesh does so by enjoying its taste; the killer does himsa by actually tying and killing the animal. Thus, there are three forms of killing. He who brings flesh or sends for it, he who cuts of the limbs of an animal, and he who purchases, sells, or cooks flesh and eats it-all of these are to be considered meat-eaters.”

Religious aspect to vegetarianism

Religions teach vegetarianism as a way to live with a minimum of hurt to other beings, for to consume meat, fish, fowl or eggs is to participate indirectly in acts of cruelty and violence against the animal kingdom. The abhorrence of injury and killing of any kind leads quite naturally to a vegetarian diet, shakahara. The meat-eater’s desire for meat drives another to kill and provide that meat. The act of the butcher begins with the desire of the consumer. Meat-eating contributes to a mentality of violence, for with the chemically complex meat ingested, one absorbs the slaughtered creature’s fear, pain and terror. These qualities are nourished within the meat-eater, perpetuating the cycle of cruelty and confusion. When the individual’s consciousness lifts and expands, he will abhor violence and not be able to even digest the meat, fish, fowl and eggs he was formerly consuming. India’s greatest saints have confirmed that one cannot eat meat and live a peaceful, harmonious life. Man’s appetite for meat inflicts devastating harm on the earth itself, stripping its precious forests to make way for pastures. The Tirukural candidly states, ‘How can he practice true compassion who eats the flesh of an animal to fatten his own flesh? Greater than a thousand ghee offerings consumed in sacrificial fires is not to sacrifice and consume any living creature.’
