    machan, you can see only big animal is it?
    so how can you sure about you not eat micro size of animals
    cos we can't see them in human viewer range :D
    Rapa, thats a quiet simple question.
    There is a preaching of Lord Buddha ... "Chethanahan bhikkawe khamman wadami"
    (I'm not fluent in Pali. Sorry if this is not how exactly it is pronounced.)

    That states 'Chethana' or our thoughts causes 'kamma' but nothing else. If we do something willfully, only that causes kamma.

    Mehemai, umba wahanayak elawanakota eeke brake system eke monawa hari prashnayak wela paara aine inna minihek yata karagena gihin ee miniha marunoth, eeken umbata paw sidda wenne naha! Umba wahane yana gaman kawa hari tharaha karayek dakala hithaa mathaa eyaawa yata karoth, ethakota umbata paw sidda wenawa.

    Umba dannawa da meeka... Budu Hamuduruwo deeshanaa karala thiyanawa wathura bonakota unu karala niwala ganna epa kiyala! Ay dannawa da? Eeke inna ee podi saththu marena nisa! Budu Hamuduruwo deshanaa karanne ee wathura filter karala ganna kiyala.. Ethakota ee microbes la ain wenawa da kiyanna mama danne naha. Eth mama honda ma filter 2 ekak use karanawa ee nisa.

    Budu hamuduruwo deshana karala thiyanawa gedara makulu dal keduwata api ta paw sidda wenne naha kiyala! Dannawa da? Ee api makuluwan ge ahaara labaganna krame winasha karanna ooni nisa nemei ne makulu dal kadanne. Thaman jeewath wana thana pirisiduwata thiyaganna ooni nisa ne. Ethakota apita paw sidda wenne naha! Budu hamuduruwo deeshana karala thiyanne makulu dal kadanakota wahale mudunin patan gena pahalata kadaagena enna kiyala..! Ay dannawa da? Ethakota makuluwan ta wahale dige bahala gedarin ain wela yanna puluwan nisa! Budu hamuduruwo api godak dennek danna tharamata wadaa godak dewal deeshanaa karala thiyanawa.

    Even for a non-budhdhist like me, that's sounds SILLY :lol:

    As for me, I have not objections on eating meat and I DO enjoy it a lot (but, that's just ME :rolleyes:)

    However, talking about it, in the Budhdhist method. what makes eating a SIN ?

    I mean, if a person goes to the butcher and buy a kilo of chicken, how does it make him a SINNER ?

    excuse my ignorance, I am asking for real . not for pun:yes:
    Let me clear it this way...
    Think you are a lawyer, and you own an office room. Then, you are sitting there and waiting.. expecting people will come to you, get your service and pay in return. Yes! People come.. Then what happens? You earn money, more and more... more people come, you earn money. But if no one come there to have your service, what happens? You wait.. still... and still.... But no one... Now what happens? You will have to give it up and try something else!
    Ok, now think if you were a butcher,..... the same principle...
    Everytime you go for a butcher's service, you become a customer for that sinner. He kills more and more... Why? Because he have customers! Everytime you go for his service, you become an abettor.
    Lord Buddha have preached that it becomes a sin if we kill or even if we promote someone to do so....

    What I believe to be true here is only Lord Buddha's preaching

    Dena deyak kaala beela jeewithe rakaganna kiyala thamai Sigalowada soothraye kiyala thiyenne.

    Kiyala thiyenn anith saththu marnna epa kiyala witharai.

    So according to buddhism, mas kana eken indirect pawak wenawa mokada mas kanna ithin saththu maranna ooni nisa.

    But again, Chethanahan bikkawe kamman wadami.

    Minissu mas kanne saththu marana wairayak hithe thiyagena krodayak athuwa neweine.. Saththu marala pawu purawaganna chethanawen newei neda minissu mas kanne?

    Anyway oya book eke mokakda kiyala thiyenne?

    Mama buddhist nowana nisa wadiya danne naha oowa gana. And wadiya katha karanna kamathith naha machang :)

    Anyway mama hithana widihata and mama piliganna widihata thamunge jeewithe thamai wadiyen watinne. So wena kanna deyak naththam mas kaawata kisi pawak wenna widihak naha.

    But mas marana kenata nam wena rakiyawak karanna baha neda? :)

    Maalu allana kenek, harak marana kenek aayi ithin gihin office ekaka wada karannada?

    It all depends on the buddhist pilisophy of "Chethanawa"

    r u still in a conscience? :P
    I am not so much conciouse about "sin" when eating meat (that's just me), but being one all my life upto now, I can firmly confirm that there are no such sicknesses or all these haloo hoolo these Vegies are pointing out.

    Heck, my grandmother (95 year) still wants meat as a part of her all daily diets :P.. and she still reads even without glases. (ok, may be a fluke of a chance) but, I have nothing against anyone eating meat. (again, that's just my opinion, my 2 cents so to speak)

    I know it's nothing so much to be proude, but Starting from Cricktes Fries in Japan to Snake Blood cocktail in Bankcock.....to Roasted Monkey Brain :P (which is carves out of a living monkey and fried on the spot- in Thailand) to Crocadile meat down here in MATARA, I have eaten. :lol:

    Go ahead and call me a living re-incarnation of the Satan, but HECK man, I live only once and I intend to take full advantage of it.

    I know, shallow, very lame, Very lame indeed, DROWN me.

    But, I am someone who would keenly consider the Job Oppertunity to be the KING of HELL than a Servant in the Heaven.

    That's just me and my opinion. That's all ;)
