I have been learning (Theravada) Buddhism for a few months. I believe the teachings are very powerful and clear and seem like an excellent path for me. However, I agree with this video that the killing of sentient beings for food should not be an area of compromise. To say being a butcher is wron...

To any Buddhist who believes he is "safe" by not looking at animals in a slaughterhouse or listening to their cries: Do you want to see things for what they really are, or do you want to look at the world through a filter? If the former is true of you, please watch any video on factory farming or...

There is a great deal of wisdom here, especially for just a 4 minute clip. Buddhists teach acceptance of pain as a part of life, something which Jesus taught, by example, on the day of his crucifixion.

I think all our minds are this way. Some people notice it more than others. If you abuse substances or sex or entertainment, you keep yourself from noticing the insanity inside each of us.

@celt130 I'd like the name of a human who lives on meat without plants and the scientific data to show where he gets his vitamin C or how he lives without it. Time for you to back up your idiotic fantasies with facts. Even someone like Aajonus van der Planitz eats some plant foods (obviously, sin...

It doesn't quite make sense: Plant foods are "inferior" to plant foods a hundred years ago, therefore we now have to eat animals? What do you think the animals eat? 100 year old vegetables? Or do they maybe eat the worst of plant foods we produce these days?
