why do Buddhists comsume animal products?

Post by diveshade »

Hi everyone,

The 5 moral precepts of Buddhism are : No killing, stealing, sexual misconduct, lying of partaking of intoxicants.

So i was wondering how come buddhists comsume animal products? i never understood this, it does not make sense at all from a Buddhist phylosophy point of view.

Could anyone explain me please?

Thank you.

There is no suffering to be severed. Ignorance and klesas are indivisible from bodhi. There is no cause of suffering to be abandoned. Since extremes and the false are the Middle and genuine, there is no path to be practiced. Samsara is nirvana. No severance achieved. No suffering nor its cause. No path, no end. There is no transcendent realm; there is only the one true aspect. There is nothing separate from the true aspect.
