    I believe the reason buddha allowed the eating of meat is because the monks begged for their food and beggars can't be choosers.

    • @invisiblesilence_
      @invisiblesilence_ Před rokem +37

      That would be if they had no other food to choose from, which is not usually the case from all I've seen.
      Remaining food is always given away & not wasted.
      Eating meat just doesn't align with Buddhism, in my opinion.
      ...and these days you would rarely have an animal slaughtered for you, & threefold by default monks should not eat meat.

      That sounds so nonsensical. What if someone offers tiger, bear, dog, hyena or snake meat? Can beggars become choosers then? Eating any animal just does not align with the buddhist ideal of ahimsa.

A calf is born and then people steal the baby's milk, kill the baby (or exploit her if it's a female) and when the cow can't produce more milk (and therefore babies) she is murdered too. The chicken industry is brutally horrific, so yes, it is wrong. Absolutely wrong and immoral.

      Himsa means ignorance towards once true being and Giving only attention to the ego. Whatever ego does will lead to Himsa only. Ahimsa is the quality that will raise as once consciousness raises. I have seen extreme anger in vegan eaters. Becoming unaware vegan doesn't make you Ahimsak. Forceful suppression will only lead those impressions (desires over things, food etc) to hide in the unconscious. Only raise of awareness will destroy it.

      Yeah, basically it means that if it's already dead then fine but do not kill to eat. It has a gray area today because if you buy some meat in a store I think it would not comply with it (unless you take it word by word which would be malicious compliance) but if the meat just rot otherwise (like a left-over scrap), then it would be totally okay.

      In most Buddhist traditions monks are allowed to eat meat as long as the animals aren’t killed specifically for them and are shared among other people, or the food is not prepared with the intention of harming other people or animals. This practice is known as the “middle way”
      The Buddha taught that people should generally refrain from killing any living creatures but he doesn’t entirely forbid it. We kill animals every day whether intentional or not as Buddhists consider insects and even microorganisms living creatures.

    For the comments - the guidelines the lovely monk provided are specific to Theravadan Buddhism. Depending on the school, there are different rules. As a kind of overall rule, there's detrimental karma attached to eating meat but there's context in regards to reducing harm. For example - if your nice Gramma spent time and effort cooking a big juicy steak, and it's a surprise; it might be more harmful to refuse Gramma (after all, the animal is already deceased). You have to use your critical thinking.

As for Buddhist laity, the Buddha in the Vanijja Sutta, AN 5:177 instructed the meat trade to be one of the five wrong livelihood a layperson should not engage in :
      "Monks, a lay follower should not engage in five types of business. Which five? Business in weapons, business in human beings, business in meat, business in intoxicants, and business in poison. These are the five types of business that a lay follower should not engage in."

      luckily it doesn't matter because buddhism is all about learning to think for yourself. the whole point of most of the practices is to clear your mind so you can think independently. also the sunyata & anicca teachings show that things change and that we have to learn to recontextualize and let go of explicit wordings in cases just like this and see deeper into the meaning of what was meant vs what was said.
      there is no contradiction here.

    In Buddhism these things are not a law, everyone can follow the path they want. But it is advisable to be a vegetarian, if you want to be a Buddha you must show more compassion than only what you can give, Yes, you have compassion, but could you be even more compassionate? Why don't you just take that next step when you can? Obviously, if you are poor and have nothing else to eat other than a fish that was donated to you, it is different.

    and more on logical argument
    he sayed then monk are allowed if they did not see the animal get killed and suffered and most important
    the animal is not get killed due to your cause means it is not get killed for you
    then it is allowed means
    if an animal is killed by natural cause you can eat it
    or for survival if some one offered you
    you can eat
    at buddha period monk have to travel a lot in jungles and villages there was no luxury so monk are allowed to eat just to live

    The reason is, for Nirvana you need to be completely detached. And if you have cringe from meat, it means you have attachments, but killing a life is very bad karma. So, these rules fullfill the conditions. Where you weren't the cause for killing, neither you killed and nor you were the one for whom it was killed, but in essence Buddhist teachings preach the the person should try to become vegetarian cause killing is very bad karma.

      Because the tripitakas forbid it. Lankavatara sukta chapter 16:"At that time, Arya(sage) Mahamati(Great Wisdom) Bodhisattva-Mahasattva said to the Buddha:
      “Bhagavan(World Honored One), I see that in all worlds, the wandering in births and deaths, the enlaced animosities, and the falling into evil paths, are all caused by meat eating and cyclical killing. Those behaviors increase greed and anger, and make living beings unable to escape from suffering. That is truly very painful" Then Buddha said "Those who renounce the flavor of meat can taste the flavors of the true Dharmas, truthfully practice the Bhumi(stage)s of Bodhisattva, and attain Anuttara-Samyak-Sambodhi quickly. They can then make all living beings enter the resting-place of Sravaka(voice-hearer) and pratyeka-buddha(self-enlightened one), and after that make them enter the stage of Tathagata".

    Im not aware about Buddhism much but in Hinduism you are infact allowed to eat meat but only if your life depends on it for eg. You live in an arid region where there is no vegetation and only yaks etc. Then you can infact eat yaks etc. because you dont actually want to harm animals intentionally. Eating meat isnt a crime eating meat is a part of natures cycle. Thats why many Hindus eat fish, chicken and even beef.

      "Pindapathaya" - wadeema, monks,their main goal is to attain nirvana, so the people know they left everything they have to become a monk.
      While they walk with a bowl, people know monks are hungry. We need to provide food that's the peoples first thought, not "beggers."
      So the people will cook whatever they have in their house, and they'll run behind the way monk walk with their hot meal.
      Because the monk will never ask any food.
      Then, the bowl (pathra) is open, and then people can give food. If the bowl is closed with their suit, it means the bowl is full.
      Free Food Bowl.
      Monks will accept even any food because if someone gives you something with their all heart even if you don't like you need to accept it. Because that moment is really valuable to the other person and later you won't regret it.
