Hello,
Nice video! I like your attitude and the way you explain things.
One question: you say it is a good idea to be moderate in everything. Does that include meditation itself (as an activity to be practised moderately)?
I mean... isn't suffering part of everyday life that makes life the interesting game it is? Is it your personal goal to ban all suffering from your life?
Other question:what do you think about sport?
Thanks a lot for the nice videos!
Kind regards from Holland,
Bart

Buddhists focus on how an action affects oneself, as it is impossible to free another being from suffering. Can you truly stop another beings from dying? If it were so easy as to just stop eating meat, there would be no need to meditate at all. Since eating meat does nothing to poison one's mind, it is as innocent as eating vegetables that have been sprayed with pesticides, for instance. Of course, if everyone meditated, no one would kill, and there would be no meat to eat anyway :)

In my view, i do not see it as acceptable. One can take away the suffering of many animals by simply not eating meat. So i think not eating meat seems a logical Buddhist thing to do.

I meant killing for meat when it is perfectly practical to be vegetarian.

nothing wrong with killing a human being? I do hope the world does not come to your way of thinking.

can you accept it? there is never a wrong answer if it's derived from clarity. If your body says it's hungry, listen to it.

Is it acceptable to kill for food?
Keep up the good work! |
