Surprised?

People say they love animals and are against Hinsa(voilance) :) but they eat non vegetarain and use stuffs made from animals skin like purses/wallets,belts etc.Is it not double standard? :evil: :angry: :evil: :evil:

What I find more obnoxious is the practice of some so-called Hindus who hand over the old and infirm animals to slaughters for money!!

Of course!!! Principle of ahimsa is given by Hindus.....

Many temples are here in Kerala where hens are slaughtered :laugh:

Principle of non violence is not in Hindu. Buddhism and Jainism emerged as a reaction to violent Hinduism. Mahatma Gandhi got his non violence principles from Christianity that preaches- If you get one slap in a cheek, submit another for second slap.

yes, there are even many temple in AP where hens and goats are been slaughtered.

Yes there are temples where goats or any other animal is slaughtered but that's too due to we human beings made this rule :evil: :angry: to impress God otherwise God never said that we should do it. :) :)

God is human imagination and as such can be made to say what man wants. There is a God for everyone. There is a God for everyone- vegetarians, non vegetarians, drinkers an teetotalers. I am sure that if monkeys had a concept of God, their God would also be a monkey jumping on trees. The God of Eskimos must be accustomed to chilly winter. God is nothing but believer's own image.

I think Mahatma's ahimsa thoughts were more influenced by Buddhism!

yes, the main source and starting of becoming vegetarian is buddhism. The people of buddhism cover their nose and mouth with a mask so that the invisible creature in the air wont enter their mouth and nose and die.

Even jains also dont eat non-veg even egg also. They dont like even the smell also.

First buddism started later jainism also started. So both are vegetarians

I don't think Buddhist are vegetarian. :unsure:

Anyways whomsoever we are influenced but it is good not to be violent. :)

And i think whatever you mentioned is what Jains do. :)

"According to Theravada, the Buddha allowed his monks to eat pork, chicken and beef if the animal was not killed for the purpose of providing food for monks. Theravada also believes that the Buddha allowed the monks to choose a vegetarian diet, but only prohibited against eating human, elephant, horse, dog, snake, lion, tiger, bear, leopard, and hyena flesh.[1] The Buddha did not prohibit any kind of meat-eating for his lay followers. In Vajrayana, the act of eating meat is not always prohibited. The Mahayana schools generally recommend a vegetarian diet, for they believe that the Buddha insisted that his followers should not eat meat or fish".

This is great to know that Buddhist also eats pork. thanks for sharing the information. :cheer:

Sanjeev actually I met once a buddist so he told me they never have non veg and they are vegetarian. So believe those words. Anyway thanks for correcting me

Sarala, people who cover their mouths with a mask and sweep the grounds before sitting on it, are Jains and not Buddhists!

Sarala, although many Buddhists claim that they are strictly vegetarians, majority of the Buddhist population in the world is spread out in countries like India, Sri Lanka, Japan, China etc and their staple food is mainly animal meat!!

I am yet to see a Buddhist person who never eats animal meat!!

Buddhists are believer in non violence but they are not vegetarian like Jain. A Buddhist monk will accept even non veg food in charity. The Buddhists in China and Tibet take fish. The Buddhists in India take non veg food and alcoholic drinks.

I dont know up to now as buddhists take non-veg and alcohol.

This is a valuable information.

True!

Saralaji we should not talk about any religion without knowing about it. :)

Yes you are right sanjeev as this may hurt some of them. And may cause issues also.

Food habits depend more on climate and Geography than religion. This is true about language, culture, traditions all. Possibly, Chinese and Tibetan Buddhists differ in many respects from Indian Buddhists. General public don not strictly adhere to religious teaching. so, I stress that even Dalai lama and other Buddhists monks take non veg food. Every community, particularly Tribal have their own brand of liqueur, which they take whatever be the religion.
