there are numerous sects and castes in india that for centuries together do no consume meat at all, dint these people survive without meat? its all a matter of choice to change ur lifestyle, isnt it better to be vegetarian and compassionate towards beings of lower realms. isnt it why we are human- so we can choose to be what is more right. as for us humans were made for eating meat isnt true, mostly all carnivores have huge canines, they are nocturnals, can see at night unlike us.

I am a vegan and I am at peace with myself. Eating flesh is nothing more than promoting “civilized canabalism.” I do not how one could be at peace with their soul if you kill another creature of God just to satisfy your taste buds. Peace for all creatures. Don

I was a typical “Looking for Delicious Food” & “Fast Food Lover”.
That time, i used to visit clinic quite often.
After a few months of vegetarian diet, i become healthier.
I can even do blood donation which is impossible for me because i had low blood pressure.
I hope to continue this vegetarian lifestyle.

I’m born vegetarian, so are my three kids. I noticed that there is an increase in consumption of mock-meat among people who are newly becoming vegetarian or those who are vegetarian but acquired the taste for these products.

They may taste wonderfully awesome but do people realise the actual content/ingredients that make those stuff tasty and have similar to real chicken or mutton.

I have decided not to include any of those in my daily cooking. It’s all vegetables,grains and fruit based. I don’t want to make my kids grow up eating”vegetarian chicken”. Why instill in the young minds about the so-called vege meat. Is there such thing after all??

There are many ways, in fact, creative ways to cook vege food. All it takes is a little bit of creativity and effort. Don’t rely on mock-meat to become vegetarian. To me it doesn’t serve the purpose of vegetarianism at all. Mind should not be full of “meaty” ideas.

If anyone needs ideas on cooking without using mock-meat- pls contact me

All beings either, live to eat or eat to live, vegan or not.
How nice if all beings do neither of the above and no more life sufferings.
It’s choices and circumstances so long as we do not perform the act of killing with intention to satisfy hunger.
Cheers and think about it.

Hi Dhamma Bro & Sis out there! -I am a member of International Vegan Society and also a buddhist – P/s pay attentions to this subject ( Going Vegetarian )-First of all, 80% of all the live stock breed in this world is for human consumptions and the other 20% maybe, for medical research, pets and etc…This animals suffer immensely pains at the hand of the human-beings and the mass breedings of animals for human consumptions is aslo affecting our mother earth environment – My point is that, look at the bigger picture, instead of talking,debating or just doing dhamma practice with very little physical action taken ! This mother earth is at the mercy of human beings and Sentient beings like us is also at the mercy of mother earth, when some major disaster happen to us due to our negative actions ( Karma ) -The climate is changing fast due to our human activities and disaster is also happening around the world now ! We need to take actions fast to reduce the impact by using our dhamma methods which we all have learnt from our masters .My advise to all dhamma brothers and sisters out there, practice ( Compassion ) and start to be a full-time vegetarian today and reduce samsaric suffering on all affected sentient beings -Remenber, Since beginness time ,we do not own this mother earth alone and we shared this with many,many sentient beings out there including our coming future generations-This negative activities carry out by us can affect others and vice versa .To reduce suffering,we need to practice compassion , meditation on emptiness and apply this practice into physically action in our daily lives. Librations of live animals is also one of the methods ,but not so effective as librating on the diner table !!! This is one of the most powerful method we must adopt and practice this in our daily meals to reduce or eliminate the suffering of animals. The daily dhamma practice and chanting of “OM MANI PADME HUM” is also one of the most powerful and effective method to cultivate compassion through meditation and reflection of the meaning on the seed syllable mantra in order to reduce or eradicate attachments and consumption of meats -But,if a person chant the 6 syllable mantra daily and eat meats during meal time, it defeat the purpose of practising Compassion and the action does not tally with the practice !!! -This was quoted by Lama Norbu Rinpoche in one of the Mani Retreat – The Compassion is the only medicine to treat and cure pains and sufferings in this world -Don’t make Arya Avalokiteshvara cry ,but we must cry for our own suffering due to the habitual negative actions carried out by us in the past, present and the coming future -Our eyes is blinded with dust and we are still swimming in the revolving ocean of SAMSARA -The eating and tasting of blood and meats create immense sufferings and the cries roared like a thurder across the sky .The person who consume meats make no difference from a tiger or wild animal. There just killed, slaughtered and eating their father,mother,wife ,husband childrens,relatives,friends, enemies all over and over again.The causal Samsaric effect and sufferings will not stop till one achieve enlightement through practice and mastering the compassion and bodhisattva vows – “OM MANI PADME HUM “
