[QUOTE="Sasika@Elakiri, post: 1351141, member: 29714"] I just saw the thread and thought of adding my comments too.. I wrote this using what I have learned so far and I believe that I don't know everything in Buddhism. First of all I would like to tell you that Buddhism is not a religion that obey a certain kind of god. although there are gods in Buddhist teachings, they are less powerful than humans. To understand Buddhism, we must understand it's concept, otherwise you wont believe anything which are taught in Buddhism. According to my point of view Buddha Darmaya = Nature (swabawadarmaya). What you are really doing when understanding Dharmaya is that you are understanding nature, the way it act. and you begin to understand that there is a balance in everything. (most basic concept in nature), In order to understand nature you must have to have a good control of your mind. And that is taught in buddhism in steps , seela> samadhi > prag(J)hna Person who understood the Dharma easily recognize that this life is a displeased one and that it happens bcoz of the greediness we all humans have (here the greediness is not just greedy we think, it has a deep meaning, refer books) and to end the chain of life that person can go further more deep into buddhist teaching and can reach Nirvana [B]if want[/B] and eating meat is the same, if someone want to reach nirvana soon first of all that person should stop doing sins (akusala karma) . (sin in Buddhism is a different one and hard to understand, Karma means all the things we do after thinking about it with the knowledge we have). eg: (Karma) We eat meat knowing that an animal has been killed to get the flesh , and also we know that if we stop eating meat the killings to get meat for us will stop. here the [B]Act[/B] = we eat meat [B]Thought formed during the act[/B] = animal has been killed to get the flesh So it is upto you to decide whether it is a "akusala Karma" or "kusala Karma" What you get is what have you done (bt it should be a Karma) , its quite simple as that - that happens because to keep the balance in everything. just think if there is no balance in this world can anything exist????? Eg : there are good people because of that there are bad people. Dark is there because of the light Hard is there because of the soft etc .......... for everything just think : How can you recognize bad if there is no good Dark if there is no light Hard if there is no soft ok so its upto you to decide anyone can say anything regarding this in their point of view, but the truth remains. forget buddhism, islam, Hindu teachings, christian teachings etc. for a moment. But always remember what goes around comes around :lol: and that is to keep the balance of our life, of our world , the whole universe and that happens automatically by nature not by a person or a god of any kind, just think twice.
