Taken From "Why People Must Be Vegetarian"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Many early Taoists, early Christians and Jews were vegetarians.
It is recorded in the Holy Bible: "And God said, I have provided all
kinds of grain and all kinds of fruit for you to eat; but for the wild
animals and for all the birds I have provided grass and leafy plants
for food." (Genesis 1:29) Other examples forbidding the eating of
meat in the Bible: "You must not eat meat with blood in it, because
the life is in the blood." (Genesis 9:4) "God said, Who told you to
kill the bullock and the she goat to make an offering to me? Wash
yourselves from this innocent blood, so I may hear your prayer;
otherwise I will turn my head away because your hands are full of
blood. Repent yourselves so I may forgive you." St. Paul, one of
Jesus' disciples, said in his letter to the Romans, "It is good
neither to eat flesh nor to drink wine." (Romans 14:21)
In India, Shakyamuni Buddha emphasized the importance of Ahimsa,
the principle of not harming any living things. He warned His
disciples not to eat meat, or else other living beings would become
frightened of them. Buddha made the following observations: "Meat
eating is just an acquired habit. In the beginning we were not born
with a desire for it." "Flesh eating people cut off their inner seed
of Great Mercy." "Flesh eating people kill each other and eat each
other ... this life I eat you, and next life you eat me ... and it
always continues in this way. How can they ever get out of the Three
Realms (of illusion)?"
Recently, historians have discovered many ancient books that
have shed new light on the life of Jesus and His teachings. Jesus
said, "People who have animals' flesh become their own tombs. I tell
you honestly, the man who kills will be killed. The man who kills
living things and eats their meat is eating the meat of the dead men."
Indian religions also avoid the eating of flesh. It is said
that, "People can't get flesh without killing things. A person who
hurts sentient beings will never be blessed by God. So, avoid taking
flesh!" (Hindu Precept)
The holy scripture of Islam, the Koran, forbids the "eating of
dead animals, blood and flesh."
A great Chinese Zen Master, Han Shan Tzu wrote a poem which was
strongly against flesh eating: "Go quickly to the market to buy meat
and fish and feed them to your wife and children. But why must their
lives be taken to sustain yours? It's unreasonable. It will not
bring you affinity with Heaven, but make you become dregs of Hell!"
"A fully divine person is a fully human being. A fully human
being is fully divine. Right now we are only half a human being. We
do things with hesitation, we do things with ego. We don't believe
that it is God who arranges all this for our enjoyment, for our
experience. We separate sin and virtue. We make a big deal out of
everything, and accordingly judge ourselves and other people. We
suffer from our own limitations about what God should do. Understand?
Actually, God is inside us and we limit Him. We like to enjoy
ourselves and play, but we don't know how. We just say to others,
'Ah! You shouldn't do that,' and to ourselves, 'I shouldn't do that.
I must not do this. So,why should I be vegetarian?' Yeah! I know.
I am vegetarian because the God inside me wants it." ------ Suma Ching
Hai
"When we are pure in our deeds, speech and thought, even for a
second, all the deities, the gods, and the guardian angels will
support us. At that moment, the entire universe belongs to us and
supports us, and the throne is there for us to reign upon." -----
