A Buddhist monk was begging for alms.
The Buddha was not a meat-eater.
There was no shortage of monks who did not want to consume meat.
But one monk went begging for meat.
A piece of meat fell from the mouth of a flying eagle into his begging bowl by coincidence.
It became a big problem because according to the Buddha's rule, whatever falls into the begging bowl must be accepted without discrimination.
The monk should have accepted it, and the rule was that if it was not good, they could choose sweets.
They would take sweets, vegetables, and dry food but would not choose what fell into the bowl.
The rule was that whatever falls into the begging bowl from four or six houses should be accepted as it is.
For this monk, it became a big problem because a piece of meat had fallen into the bowl.
He asked the Buddha in the assembly, "What should I do? A piece of meat has fallen into my begging bowl."
According to the rule, it had to be accepted. Should I eat it or throw it away?
The Buddha remained silent for a while.
Then he thought if I say, "Throw it away," two systems will always be created for the monks.
The monks would then decide to discard some things. Today I am here, but tomorrow I will not be here. This rule will be established forever.
The monks would face trouble, they would consume sweets, vegetables, and good food, and discard the rest.
Throwing away good food will harm the monks.
The monks will develop a taste for delicacies.
The Buddha thought, "This piece of meat that fell from the eagle's mouth is not a daily occurrence."
This incident will not happen again. It is appropriate not to break the rule.
He said, "There is no need to break the rule for this."
The monk accepted the piece of meat and consumed it.
Thus, meat-eating began.
Now many monks go begging, and if you give them meat, they accept it.
Gradually, the monks started consuming meat regularly.
They began begging from houses where they could get meat.
Buddha said, "Eating killed food is violence."
A dead animal is violence; it is not about the hunger but about the violence.
Violence is not justifiable. The act of killing is violence; even if the animal is already dead, it is still considered violence.
Therefore, China, Japan, Burma, Lanka, and all Buddhist countries have included non-violence in their teachings.
However, here it is written that pure ghee is available, and there it is written that meat shops only sell the meat of dead animals.
The shops sell the meat of dead animals only.
But what is the use of this to the monk?
What is the use of this to the Buddha when the rule is clearly written?
The shopkeeper's job is to ensure that meat is available.
Many people consume meat, and so many people are meat-eaters.
The entire Buddhist religion is filled with meat-eating.
The small eagle did what the Buddha did not do.
A man searches his mind and accounts for every aspect.
