Must Buddhists be vegetarian?
When the Buddha walked into the world and was on both sides of the Ganges, he was entrusted with what to eat. Therefore, vegetarianism is not a decisive sign of learning Buddhism.
In addition, from the point of view of compassion and joy, it is inappropriate and not allowed to kill animals and eat meat directly for appetite.
In a word, scholars who are troubled by this problem are mainly because the purpose of practice is unclear and the criteria for judging are vague, which also reflects the ambiguity of scholars' legal meaning in Buddhism. Therefore, before Xiao Zhi Tiger began to practice, he sincerely suggested that everyone should understand the basic concepts of Buddhism, such as what is Buddha, what is Dharma, what is monk, what is practice, what is four truths, what is eight principles, what is origin, what is thirty-seven, what is enlightenment, what is enlightenment, what is nirvana, and so on, as well as the connotation and precise definition of a series of basic Buddhist terms related to practice. Otherwise, it takes a lot of time, but it just turns around in the form of practice, which is really the biggest loss in life.
Concept source:
Buddhism is very dull, just telling you the truth of life! Let you know clearly, when you know clearly, leave your inner love and persistence. Let you leave greed, anger and delusion, and let you put them out.
