“Buddha looked at a bowl of water. He saw 84,000 insects.” Two thousand five hundred years ago, when Buddha looked at a bowl of water. He saw 84,000 insects. Scientists, until the invention of high-power microscopes in the last 100 years, saw 84,000 microorganisms in a bowl of water through the high-power microscopes. The difference between these two is 2400 years.
For Buddhist practitioners, when we went to release fishes. Many of us have seen fishes swim back to us to express their appreciation. Yet, “Science” is not advanced enough to explain this phenomenon.
Let’s take a look at what the eating habits of eating animals that is handed down from the great-grandfather’s great-grandfather, has brought us.
Animals such as cows, pigs, sheep, chickens, and fish have about the same intelligence as two or three-year-old human children. When they were slaughtered, their feelings of panic, despair, anger, and suffer turn into black gas and stayed with their bones, flesh and internal organs. The black gas, stick on to the people who slaughter them and the people who eat them. When human eat these animals’ bodies, humans eat the black gas with them. Keeping on eating them is to constantly accumulate black gas in your own body. When the black gas accumulates to a certain level, they have the power to attack the weakest organs in the human body. Only by then, human beings realize that they are sick.
Please allow me to explain with common sense and scientific research outcome available so far.
Cows are grass-eating animals. After eating grass, cows convert the nutrients in the grass into the nutrients required by their body. These nutrients are absorbed according to the needs of the cattle’s body, not of human being’s body. The nutrition that humans obtain by eating animals such as cows, pigs, and chickens is second-hand nutrition. The second-hand nutrients are to nourish the bodies of cows, pigs and chickens. Human beings, on the other hand, can obviously take nutrients directly from various plants and convert them into nutrients that are required by the body of human beings.
The result of eating animals is that the human body is weakening its ability to absorb nutrients directly from plants. At the same time, human beings are forcing their human body to switch to other animal body. Take COVID-19 as an example. After the coronavirus enters the human body, it must find a host in the human body and live in the host before it can survive. If the virus cannot find a host, even if the virus is inhaled, it will die and will not pose a threat to human. For the coronavirus to enter the host, it must pass through a guard, membrane receptor. Via biochemical matching, membrane receptor determines whether or not it will let the virus in. To put it simple, the biological key on the virus must match with the biological lock on the membrane receptor door. Then the door can open to let the virus in.
For those people who are infected by virus, how come the membrane receptors in their body, the locks will match with the virus? Very simple, the virus comes from animals. People eat animals. When they absorb animal nutrition, they are modifying their human bodies to other animal bodies at the same time. This transformation includes gradually modifying the membrane receptors, to make these biological locks the same as those on animals.
When people stubbornly refuse to change the eating habits that are handed down from their great-grandfather’s great-grandfather in eating animals, they are planting disaster for themselves. From Buddha’s point of view, people are planting evil causes. One day, retribution will come.
“Science” has just realized that there is difference between animal-based protein and plant-based protein in recent years.
Eggs, which are laid by chickens, are the early stages of chicks. Human being’s large-scale eggs and chicken production process includes the process of disposing newly hatched rooster. Milk is obtained by people who force a cow to get pregnant, give birth to calf, and then take the calf away. Milk is to provide nutrition for the calf’s body, not for humans.
So far, “Science” only know Milk contains lactose. More than 60% of people worldwide, especially people of colour, are lactose intolerant.
Many of my fellow practitioners who are full vegan, including myself, can smell the stench and fishy smell inside the eggs.
In my opinion, eating eggs and drinking cow milk is breeding scourges and diseases of the reproductive system.
For people to update their knowledge to understand this world is stage by stage. Several years later, you may find conclusions on this article is not detail enough to facilitate more scientific research.
When people stubbornly adhere to the living habits, concepts and thoughts passed down from their great-grandfather’s great-grandfather, and refuse to reform themselves according to Buddha’s guidance, they are brewing disaster for themselves. From mad cow disease, to SARS caused by eating civet cats, swine flu, Avian Influenza, then the COVID-19 caused by “eating bats. According to news reports at COVID-19 period.” These diseases with extremely high mortality are all caused by animals. Because people refuse to reform, as the result, human beings pay a huge price, the price of their lives.
Sex, is making the body to the status of extreme excitement. It’s like driving a car to the speed of 240 kilometers per hour on a racing track. The damage to the car is enormous. Have you ever seen people who is extremely indulgent? These people, look like drug addicts, have almost exhausted their spirit, vitality and sanity. Medical doesn’t define them as patient. In my dictionary, as soon as grievance in their life or common karmas come, they will be short of the power to defend.
Factors in turning human body into animal body, are not only limited to eating habits. Living habits, thinking, mind should all be counted in as factors.
A good life is based on physical and mental health. Same as reforming eating habits, what the general public need to do, is to follow Buddha’s guide, reform the ideas and concepts of a wonderful family that was handed down from your great-grandfather’s great-grandfather, and truly love yourself and take good care of your own family.
According to the statistics published by “Global Animal Slaughter Statistics And Charts” on October 2018, there are more than 70 billion land animals are killed for food every year worldwide. Black gas created in these slaughters, the evil causes by human beings, are surrounding us right now.
What people can do is to build a very strong defending line in their own bodies so they may defend disasters and protect themselves. This defending line is the last resource. It is the only defending line you may have so far.
