The Question of Vegetarianism

[Nash_Node]

Ok, thank you for your idea. I also own a set of books of the total Thripitakaya. But I'm still not finished reading it.

BUT as to my opinion, to be or not to be a vegetarian is not the core of Buddhism as well. It's all about the only practicable way to attain Nibbana... So, arguing on such a topic like this is not something useful.

I thought Budhdha DID consume meat.

May be my ignorence..forgive me if so

 

[djHiran]

who the heck is a TRUE vegitatian ?

care to explain?

Hello Nash_Node! I diden't expected you here! Good good..

The heck true vegetarian I mentioned there is not as complex as you might are thinking Let me explain it this way...

well meka offtopic wei...but mata ahanna hituna
samaharu vegetarian kiyala eggs kanne ne...habai eegollo cake kanawa
so eggs nikanma kawenawane

I think that this sort of ppl Thilinacba mentioned here cannot be 'true vegetarians'. That's all.... and its only my idea. Your opinion may or may not be differ

And then....,

I thought Budhdha DID consume meat.

May be my ignorence..forgive me if so

Hmm.. I honestly don't know exactly. Merely, consuming meat is not categorised as a 'sin' in Buddhism, again, that's only my idea. But if we kill them for their flesh, it is a sin. Actually Lord Buddha has preached number of facts to be considered before judge between eating flesh we found somewhere is a sin or not. According to that facts, I feel eating flesh we buy from a butcher is a sin.

Hello Nash_Node! I diden't expected you here!

Eeer ok.

I am the most un-religiouse person I know .. but still, that doesn't meant I can't speak about it

then that means you have to go around with the cooking receipe book to see which has meat connected to it (just pun)

[djHiran]

Hey Nash! I didn't told you can't speak about it

NO CAKE even ? damn !!

Ya. NO CAKE!

then that means you have to go around with the cooking receipe book to see which has meat connected to it (just pun)

Ya! Mum do so!

 

[Asitha-K]

Hey Nash! I didn't told you can't speak about it

Ya. NO CAKE!

Ya! Mum do so!

Even world class restorents even has recepies for vegetarians!
Even KFC(K%#$^& Fried Checken) has a vegetarian meal called vege feasta!

 

[Nash_Node]

Sookara = PIG

right ?

 

[maleemsg]

Sookara = PIG

right ?

yeah Suukara - Pig

but that suukara *** thing is not Pork..!
that mushrooms taste is little bit smillar to pork thats y they have given that name...

(me mama ahala thiyana widiha weradi nam hariyata dana kenek mawa niweradi karanna)

 

[djHiran]

Sookara = PIG

right ?

Yes! Sookara = PIG, but that is only the name of that mushroom

A good example is, though Maalu = Fish, Aanamaalu don't swim

 

[Nash_Node]

yeah Suukara - Pig

but that suukara *** thing is not Pork..!
that mushrooms taste is little bit smillar to pork thats y they have given that name...

(me mama ahala thiyana widiha weradi nam hariyata dana kenek mawa niweradi karanna)

hmm, could be true. !

My bad I guess.

thanks for the correction !

Dear Friend, I did read the book carefully. Not only the book, I also read all Sutra/Vinaya sections in Sutta and Vinaya pitakas to which Ven.Gnanananda Thero has referred to. Further, I also have read many more Sutra Deshana of Gautama Buddha, directly from Sutta/Vinaya Pitaka. My Dhamma knowledge is independant. Ven.Gnananda Thero's book does not conflict with my understanding of Sri Saddharma and Gautama Buddha. Even before reading this book, I had same views on the subject. So dear friend, why don't you independantly study this. There's no point in arguing here. Isn't it?

dat's right.no point of arguing here,,,,,,,I also unabele to read it yet.....
after reading it.......I will deliver my idea....... on dis..............
whatever It is very nice topic ...........number of things are there to solve..........

[rapa]

yes machan, I heard like this too

 

[rapa]

yap........ we have discussed about dis........number of time.............
but unable to came..........an..idea,,,,,,,,,Is'n that rapa...............

of cause machan
if we ask 10 ppl about it they have 10 deferent idea
thats why we got confuse about it
but now we have to good opportunity for heard true lord Buddha word from "pinwath loku sawamin wahase" like he did before

 

[rapa]

Machan the overall idea is that being a vegetarian is not something essential. I don't agree to that.
But being a true vegetarian is something very difficult to do and hence have a real value.
I'm a true vegetarian

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

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

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

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

 

[cha_sl]

i found this at Udamaluwa Anuraadapura

there is something to think about here

for the ppl who call them vegetarians and still eat fish.
