Are Vegetarianisms just in buddhism?

Answer 1

no actually hindus are also vegetarian. 50 % are anyway, most hindus not in india do eat meat. also some christians are also vege's. there is nothing wrong in being a vegetarian just remember that every time u eat meat , u are eating a dead animal and creating a grave yard in ur stomach. just remember that that only animals and humans have a heart which pumps blood, it is wrong to kill a human, then why is it not wrong to kill a animal, is it because they cant talk so ppl think that god put them on this planet for them ? then they write it in the bible and here we are 2000 yrs later and ppl are following the bible.

Answer 3

No, I'm mostly vegetarian, and I'm Muslim. I had a friend who was completely vegetarian and Muslim. Many people are vegetarian for reasons other than religious beleifs. I avoid eating much meat because I feel that it is not efficient use of natural resources, it is frivolously expensive, and it isn't very healthy to eat a lot of meat.

JUDAISM
From the Hebrew Bible
Genesis(1:29)
"Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in that which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for food."
In Genesis (1:30)
"And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for food; and it was so."
Isaiah (1.11)
"To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats."
Isaiah (66:3)
"He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man."
CHRISTIANS
When Jesus spoke of meat he was talking of food Close study of the original Greek manuscripts shows that the vast majority of the words translated as "meat" are trophe, brome, and other words that simply mean "food" or "eating"
St. Luke (8:55)
Jesus raised a woman from the dead and "commanded to give her meat." The original Greek word translated as "meat" is phago, which means only "to eat." "Let her eat."
The Greek word for meat is kreas ("flesh"), and it is never used in connection with Jesus. Nowhere in the New Testament is there any direct reference to Jesus eating meat.
Isiah's words
"Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil and choose the good."


HINDUISM AND BUDDHISM
Buddha believed in ahimsa, or nonviolence.He advocated a vegetarian life-style
The Vedic Scriptures of India, which predate Buddhism, also stress nonviolence as the ethical foundation of vegetarianism.
The Manu-samhita, the ancient Indian code of law, states, "Meat can never be obtained without injury to living creatures, and injury to sentient beings is detrimental to the attainment of heavenly bliss; let him therefore shun the use of meat."
In another section, the Manu-samhita warns, "Having well considered the disgusting origin if flesh and the cruelty of fettering and slaying of corporeal beings, let him entirely abstain from eating flesh."
More recently the Hare Krishna movement has introduced these ethical considerations around the world. Srila Prabhupada, the movement's founder-acarya (spiritual master), once stated, "In the Manu-samhita the concept of a life for a life is sanctioned, and it is actually observed throughout the world.
Similarly, there are other laws which state that one cannot even kill an ant without being responsible. Since we cannot create, we have no right to kill any living entity, and therefore man-made laws that distinguish between killing a man and killing an animal are imperfect ...
According to the laws of God, killing an animal is as punishable as killing a man. Those who draw distinctions between the two are concocting their own laws.
Emphasizing the Vedic conception of the unity of all life, Srila Prabhupada then stated, "Everyone is God's creature, although in different bodies or dresses. God is considered the one supreme father. A father may have many children, and some may be intelligent and others not very intelligent, but if an intelligent son tells his father, 'My brother is not very intelligent; let me kill him,' will the father agree? ... Similarly, if God is the supreme father, why should He sanction the killing of animals who are also His sons?"

ISLAM
Al-Qur'an, 6:38
There is not an animal that lives on the Earth, nor a being that flies on its wings, but forms part of communities like you. Nothing have We omitted from the Book, and they all shall be gathered to their Lord in the end.
揥hoever is kind to the creatures of God, is kind to himself.?BR> --The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), narrated by Abdallah bin `Amru, in Bukhari and Muslim collections.
Bukhari
"The Holy Prophet Muhammad (S) was asked by his copmpanions if kindness to animals was rewarded in the life hereafter. He replied: 'Yes, there is a meritorious reward for kindness to every living creature'."
The Quran, 6:38
All creatures on earth are sentient beings. "There is not an animal on earth, nor a bird that flies on its wings - but they are communities like you."

Answer 6

you need to understand that Buddha become a pragmatist. He had followers (priests) who gave up each little thing and ate basically what become provided. With a stay of poverty, IN a us of a of poverty .. you need to no longer assume to stay to tell the tale if human beings have been offering you meat to consume. You ate in spite of become conventional. it is not approximately leaving the grimy artwork to others. each human beings is liable for OUR habit. we haven't any administration over whether somebody else is killing an animal for nutrition .. nor ought to we. each human beings decides the place our headspace is and what karmas we are keen to accrue. And this incorporates eating meat. In a matching vein .. Buddhists take vows to no longer kill. that incorporates the spider crawling up the wall on your place, the direction of ants into your kitchen, and the mosquito on your arm. In Buddhism there is not any super distinction between killing a cow and stepping on a huge. are you able to slap that mosquito with a sparkling sense of right and incorrect? no longer once you're a Buddhist. Even a meat-eating Buddhist.
