I dont think you need rocket scientists to figure whather you are doing a SIN or not!

Like x-pert said in Buddhism everything revolves around your MIND, your MIND is the key to your actions and your actions are the key to your destiny..because Buddhism is based on cause and effect!

If you need to complete a SIN you gotta full fill 5 steps! (Panathi paatha)

1. You need to know its alive
2. You get the thought of killing it
3. You make a plan to kill it
4. You execute the plan
5. You kill it using the executed plan

Now you can put all your scenarios in it and see whether it goes through! if all ticks then it is indeed a SIN, if not.. its not!

When looking at these I think that eating an animal killed for you is a sin.

But if you are bringing the famous argument that says " ok that animal was not killed for me " lets argue.

I was in ur position too but eating a dead animal won't fullfill all the 5 here. but if atleast a one fulfills out of these 5 then u get a demerit which is not the demerit u get for killing an animal

correct me sri lion if im wrong

Yes as far as "Paanathi Paatha" is concerned, you cannot Sin just because you picked up a chicken at the supermarket!

You may say because we buy... and to fill that demand there's someone is killing on the other side.. BUT... killer has a mind too... he is human and he can decide for himself, he has a choice NOT to kill... but instead he gets greedy for money and kill so its his choice!!

Personally.. if I cannot find chicken meat anywhere I wont never ever think about killing a live one and eat... which I just can't do!!

Tandoori Chicken

Ingredients

Serves 2

* 1 pint of live natural yogurt
* 1 Tablespoon Cumin powder
* 1 Tablespoon garam massala
* 1 Teaspoon Coriander powder
* 1 Teaspoon Turmeric powder
* 1 Teaspoon chilli powder
* Juice 1 lemon
* 8 cloves garlic - crushed
* 1 inch grated ginger
* Red food colouring
* 4 pieces of skinless chicken on the bone
* 1 Lemon

Method

Mix the spices, colouring, lemon juice and garlic and ginger up into a paste with a little water and stir in well with the yogurt to make a tandoori marinade. Score the flesh of the chicken and marinate in the marinade for 2-60 hours. Preheat the oven to it's highest heat for at least 20 minutes. Shake off excess marinade and place chicken pieces on a wire rack in the oven. Cook for 20 minutes and check the chicken is cooked by piercing the thickest piece with a skewer, if the juices run clear it's cooked, serve with a wedge of lemon.

I'm also a buddhist. But after reading this book in unbiased and an open mind, I dont agree with the idea presented here by ven.Kiribathgoda Gnananda Thero

If you don't agree with the ideas of ven. kiribathgoda gnanananda Thero, then you don't agree with lord Buddha's ideas. because loku swameen wahanse express only Budda's teachings...
