Hell

Sharp are the knives that plunged in. 

Fast are the actions of cutting. 

Hardare the hearts of the butcher. 

Painful are the pricks and skinning.

The guts are out in a matter of minutes.

The head is chopped in the twinkling of an eye.

Dreadful are executions inflicted by human race.

Who makes destrimental use of his intellect.

Is it just or it fair.

To take advantage of the dumb and the defenseless?

"Again, there may be same people in the future who being under the influence of the taste for meat will string together in various ways sophistic arguments to defend meat eating..."

-Lankavatara Sutra

Silent Night

 

As new year is approaching

More and more cocks are crowing.

But on the New Year Eve

All fowls seem to be disappearing.

Where do you think they have been?

Behold - the cooks are busy chopping,

Boiling,stewing, frying and roasting,

Ready to serve as New Year's Greeting.

"After my Parinirvana in the last kalpa different kinds of ghost will be encountered everywhere deceiving peopleand teaching them that they can eat meat and still attain Enlightenment..."

- Surangama Sutra

 

Mother's Plume

The odour of their mother

Brings them to the feathers.

Which baby likes to lose its mother ? 

Have you any consideration for the feeling of others?...

"A disciple of the Buddha must not deliberately eat the flest of any beings, for it he  does so, he thereby cuts off great comppasion, kindness, and the seed of the Buddhanature and cause all beings who encounter him to avoid him. therefore, all Bodhisattvas must abstains from eating the flesh of any beings, for meat-eating is the source of limitless offenses."

-Brahma Net Sutra

Forward March

Men and pig are both sentient beings. Both desire to live and hesitate to die. Men are strong while pig are weak, So pig are sent to the slaughter house where men think fit. Do you approve of what men have been doing?....

BUDDHA (623 B.C - 543 B.C.)

For fear of causing terror to living beings let the bodhisattva who is disciplining to attain compassion refrain from eating flesh.

(from The Lankavatara Sutra)
