Perhaps the example you are giving pertains to some situations, but definitely not in regards to factory farms. The conditions are very cramped, uncomfortable for the animals, and definitely not leisurely.
I could go on and on for days about the cruelty, pain, suffering and many other...
Lol, this is a way! But it seems that people don't want to try it.
The funny thing is, I've found, is that many people just don't want to have to commit to being vegetarian, following the precepts, and actually practicing the meditation.
Most people don't want to let go of meat...
I'm not claiming to be a prophet. I'm an initiate of the Quan Yin method of meditation.
I'm only offering a method to prove God's existence. I'm only telling you what is required to learn this method. I apologize if I have come off as boastful, or arrogant :sorry1:. I'm doing my best to...
I'm not assuming that plants do not feel suffering, only that it is very small, minimal. And the karmic hinderance that you get from eating plants can be removed easily by practicing the Quan Yin method of meditation.
Let me ask you, have you or anyone else in this forum ever eaten sponge?
I wouldn't eat a sponge because it's scientifically classified as an animal. I bet it doesn't taste very good either. There are countless other very delicious things to eat that aren't animals. I've never had the...
This relationship you are referring to between domesticated food animals and humans is not defined as symbiotic, but parasitic.
Both parties do not benefit, because the domesticated animals are harmed and eventually killed. An even better term for this relationship is called "predation"...
You are right tomspug, we are in a constant state of killing by merely living. But the effect of this karmic hinderance that we aquire from this killing is minimal, and can be remove by practicing the Quan Yin meditation.
However, the karmic hinderance that comes from killing animals if very...
Here is a question asked of the master about eating plants:
Q: Eating animals is killing living beings, but isn't eating vegetables a kind of killing, too?
M: Eating plants is also killing living things and will create some karmic hindrance, but the effect is very minimal. If one...
If it is a plant, it's allowed. If it is an animal it isn't allowed. Please forgive my mistake, plants do breathe oxygen. As for the sponge, I still wouldn't eat it.
I'm sorry if I seem confusing, I'm only giving the requirements to learn the Quan Yin Method of meditation given by Master Ching Hai. And again, master is just a word, a better word to express what would suit this situation is teacher. She teaches a method of meditation to be able to see the...
1. The point of being vegetarian is to not incur the heavy karmic debt that comes with eating meat. The suffering of the animal all goes to you when you eat it, and that suffering has to come out in some form. There is no suffering in heaven, so if you cause suffering to others willingly and...
When I say master, it's not like I'm her slave. She's more of a teacher, and I am her student. She doesn't rule over me with an iron hand, I've never even seen her in person! But I do know that her method is real, and her method does work. It is just a way for you to prove for yourself that...
1. Your best bet is to not eat meat or eggs. If it breathes oxygen, I wouldn't eat it. Although sponges have no brains, I still wouldn't eat it. It is still an animal.
2. Don't lie :)
3. Only if you ask first. :D
4. I agree.
5. As long as the medicines have not come from animals, and...
It is not my method, it is my master's method. If you practice diligently, you really will be able to meet and know Jesus. The master has to be living for you to recieve initiation to learn the method, but the master does not have to be present during your initation. The vegetarian diet is a...
We are not carnivores, but omnivores. If a human being tries to live as a carnivore, he will not survive for very long. Look at the atkins diet. It is self destructive.
However, humans can live long healthy lives as herbivores/vegetarians.
There are many reasons for having the...
Please forgive me if I seem proud, or arrogant. I assure you that in no way shape or form do I intend to come off as such. I actually try to come to you very humbly and only wish that you would be open to my offer. I only wish to tell you the truth.
Also don't mistake, this is not a method...
Hello. I have come to offer a different aspect on your comments. You say that is logically impossible to prove God's existence.
I say that it is very, very possible. In fact, I say you can prove for yourself God's existence immediately. The only catch is that you must learn the method...
