Answer 1

I think vegetables are more healthy for the body/mind, that's why the Buddha suggested it.
I don't think that killing and hunting are the same thing. Some Native American Indians were hunters, they had to hunt to survive. They had incredible respect for their prey. Do you think that a Buddha would think badly of the Indians? I don't.

For all we know, being consumed by a human may be a blessing. I've often considered how it might be an honor to be eaten by a bear.

I'm done with my rant, I hope it makes a little sense.

Answer 2

Is that true, wow, I never thought of how Buddha died, all I remember is that those guys usually got depicted as fat.
But I read somewhere that there is a teaching that talks of filling the belly in a spiritual sense and maybe it got portrayed as a fat bald guy sitting on the ground.

Anyway...you can kill things spiritually with bad teaching and no ones gonna get enlightenment by either filling their belly with chips over and above bacon.

What goes into the mouth comes out of the butt.

It's what comes out of your heart that counts.

And I'm not talking heart burn here ;)

Answer 3

The Buddha never advocated not eating meat, but taught it was right to only eat meat that had been slaughtered by other people.

Answer 4

As a Buddhist I do not eat meat. I feel vegetarian is the best way. But each person must examine their own heart and make this decision for themselves.

Answer 5

I think as men if we buy dead meant from a market we support a market for it. It's simple demand and supply. If everyone stops buying it why would the abbatoirs keep open.
