halal meat

[Stoner4Life]

'evolved' is the key word there. I believe stopping eating animal flesh to be a step in our evolution towards becoming an enlightened being, a buddha, which is the ultimate destiny and purpose of all sentient beings.
thats just me, at this point in time we are all understandably entitled to adhere to the beliefs we currently hold. That's just our karma.

idk Breather, when a man gets as fat n' happy (content) as Buddha then there are forces other than karma @ work.












that's right, I'm calling your bluff, that belly ain't
based on brussel sprouts & bamboo shoots bro.

obviously Buddha grooves on the swine.......

human evolution was aided by eating meat. religions are anti evolution. theres clearly something messed up about a religion which tells you that you are enlightened if you eat certain food.. but each their own!

lol

it doesnt tell you you are enlightened because or if you eat a certain food lol and neither can any religion tell one one is enlightened, enlightenment is the attainment of liberation from samsaric existence and is a process, a conclusion of the evolution of the individual consciousness principle, that which we are.

you cannot become enlightened simply by eating or not eating something, but there are physiological changes when one gives up meat and eats a vegetarian diet that are more conducive.

humanity's physical and mental evolution was no doubt facilitated by eating meat but we are at the stage where it is no longer needed. meat was just a stepping stone

I used to work in a big slaughter house, killing lambs halal style in season. The only difference was that a imam came and prayed a little verse for every lamb, before it got killed.

Then it got skinned and emboweled and hung in storage for transport.

My job was to take the dead lambs, the halal lambs, and the pigs from the other "murder line" and push them to eater be cut or to a waiting truck.
And believe me I'm a skinny stoner and it was heavy work so it all hung from hooks shoulder to shoulder so to speak, pigs and halal lambs bouncing off each other all the time. Pluss all the pig fat on my gloves got all over the halal lambs. And I was just to tired to give a fuck. This got retailed as Muslim council approved Halal lamb in north wast Europe. The only difference was the little verse he prayed for the lambs, all other was identical,

HaLOL I say

I think main stream science would disagree with that. we are made to eat meat and veg/seeds/fruit etc.
aside from that. its not important because it taste good. imo good food is good for your soul, therefore good for my wellbeing..
when im happy I spread love and kindness and good karma too. so you can look at it in different ways. I just concentrate on being a good human, whether that pleases a good or not doesn't bother me. I spent 2/3 years being vegetarian and honestly didn't notice anything worth noting. that's my opinion..

our bodies may be designed to eat meat, but it doesnt mean we HAVE to and to be honest I have little to no respect for mainstream science. Buddhism is about happiness independent of inputs such as food, so I cant really go along with the need to eat food which creates a momentary feeling of happiness, it is a happiness that does not last, so it cannot be a true source of anything truly meaningful.
I'm not trying to convince you to see things my way - you eat meat, I dont and we both have reasons for that.
I am not trying to please any god be it with a small or large 'g'.
I am merely wishing to break the cycle of samsaric existence.

I guess if it doesn't make you feel good, theres no point doing it.. I think not eating meat for that few years made me appreciate it more.

bacon NOT meaningful???

I don't think you can point out specifically where Buddha ever said that bacon wasn't meaningful, he was way too wise to be spittin' hate on bacon, just sayin'

though i am jewish, i am secular and i do not "keep kosher".
i don't have any problam with meat eating - though some of the ways animals are treated while going to any butchering process (halal, kosher, "chrisitan") that is industrialized is just sickening to any person...

if some guy who likes a good steak and think he needs to buthcer it according to "god plan" so he can eat it - let him have it...
you wouldn't want someone telling you what you can or can't eat right ?
you wouldn't want someone telling you what you can or can't smoke right ?

 

[Asche]

but you also wouldn want to ignore critics do you?
if accepting, then please all the way through.

and thats for everybody
whoever you are.

 

[stoned-trout]

all this talk makes me want an extra rare bloody thickass steak......off to store... having done lots of archery hunting I wont comment on others methods of killing their food....

death from rapid blood loss is as painless as it gets. I have seen deer hit through the heart/lung area with a razor-sharp broadhead merely flinch on impact, raise their head & look around as if to ask "what was that?" then go right back to grazing as if nothing had happened. moments later, they lose consciousness from blood loss & fall over dead. no running, struggling etc.

I bought my first Halal beef today. I'm expecting a damn good roast. It's too bad that that if meat is best when blead out properly that they have to do it in the name of religion. If they would just call it properly processed meat then I would have tried it 20 years ago.
