Near his ultimate Nirvana, the Buddha reversed his earlier teachings regarding eating meat, and so forth, and expounded the vegan doctrine of not taking anything that comes from animals, including leather, honey, milk, etc, because of the danger of "creating conditions with living things".....He also mentioned the danger of eating seeds, or fruits with seeds in them, as they, too, contained life.
What do you think could have possibly happened to change his attitude from "preferred vegetarianism" to "strictly vegan" and then some??
He even went so far as to state that those who would take from animals after his death (without him being there to make these things pure for them) will not reach Nirvana.
