Less Meat More Love! Khyentse Foundation Announces New Book for Children

t3_1b3y217

"When we have acquired an awareness of the fact that all beings have been our mothers, and when this awareness is constant, the result will be that when we see meat, we will be conscious of the fact that it is the flesh of our own mothers. And, far from putting it in our mouths and eating it, we will be unable even to take it into our hands or smell its odor. This is the message of many holy teachers of the past, who were the very personifications of compassion."

And in concluding verse to this text:

*In all your lives in future may you never more consume*

*The flesh and blood of beings once your parents.*

*By the blessings of the Buddha most compassionate,*

*May you never more desire the taste of meat.*

-

From *The Nectar of Immortality* by Shabkar Tsokdruk Rangdrol, translated by the Padmakara Translation Group.

Life Wisdom - Purifying the World with a Vegetarian Diet

The general consensus from Buddhists on r/buddhism is that eating meat is justified in Buddhism, because /supposedly/ the Buddha said it is ok to eat meat as long as you don’t suspect it was killed specifically for you.. I am curious, did he actually say this, or is this made up? There are also some accounts that say he died from food poisoning after eating Pigs Meat. However, I have heard conflicting opinions on this and have heard that it is a mistranslation, and it was actually a “Pig-foot”, a type of Fungi. I was wondering what is the actual truth behind this. Did the Buddha eat meat?
