Dalai Lama is not a veggie

[Guest guest]

The Dali Lama is an occult master with magical

powers - I dont think most of us would wish to compare

ourselves with him. The Tibetans have an extreemly ancient

deep and powerful culture which is diametrically

opposite in quality to our "popular

culture".<br><br>Experience has bourne out that for the highest spiritual

realization, vegitarianism is required for 99.9 per cent.

<br><br>Having said that, many people feel a need for meat which

is greater than their desire for "salvation".

<br><br>Unfortunately, these poor folks have to eat food which is full

of the higest levels of toxins, hormones and other

pollutants.<br><br>Can't you see, that it would be a blessing for your

body not to contain thoes foreign

hormones?<br><br>Once you enter on the path of yoga you already show

signs of wanting to move towards your "salvation"

rather than towards your desires for more karma...so

there is hope.

St. Francis was not veggie either but he could

fly, according to reports. But Hitler was a veggie.

Just goes to show ya.<br><br>Glad to know the Lama is

an occult master with magical powers, the exact

stats for veggie salvation, and how eating too many

veggies causes diseases. Where do you get this stuff from

Guy?

[Guest guest]

ok--then why don't the Dalai Lama or other

Buddhist leaders promote vegetarianism among the 99.9%?

Nuns and monks eat whatever too. I'm sure Jesus and

other non-Asian enlightened types ate a bit of meat

here and there. Shamans the world over sure as Shiva

aren't vegetarian--talk about occult magical powers and

the ability to experience other worlds and levels of

existence!<br><br>And of course, there are many vegetarian people who

aren't moving down a path to enlightenment. They can be

some of the more judegmental folks around.

I am stuggling with many aspects of my practise,

one of which is lifestyle, which includes food. The

veggie thing is something I am working on but I often

ask myself why? Is it to be thinner, purer, cooler,

more yogic? Probably all of them. I may even ask for

everyones help someday(what the hell am I supposed to

eat!)I do have a question for today. If you believe that

one of the reasons not to eat meat is because of the

"toxins" etc and the effect they have on your being, how

can you possibly live in a place like New York with

all it's mental and physical toxins.

[Guest guest]

I am of the persuasion that vegetarianism and

other lifestyles have to come from the

heart.<br><br>Regarding your other comment, people who live in areas with

high levels of pollution just have to do the best they

can; it's not always possible or desireable to move,

but eating organic and doing yoga helps.

[Guest guest]

To be vegetarian helps to nurture the

compassionate aspects of yoga practice and directly affects the

lives of other living beings that would otehrwise have

been killed.<br><br>Personally I'm vegan and have been

for many years, but I didn't do it overnight. I

worked myself into it... compassionately :-) As regards

to living in NY or other "toxic" places... I think

what is toxic for one person may not be toxic for

another, so really you only have yourself to be

accountable to. I have lived in toxic places and I've eaten

toxic foods, but the kicker is to eliminate toxic

thoughts form an already toxic mind.<br><br>Oh and if you

ever want some great veggie resources, just ask...

I've got more recipe links than I can possibly use.

:-)<br><br>Namaste.

[Guest guest]

Nada: please do share some of those links. I've been a veggie since age 12, but

I am slowly creeping toward vegan (maybe) so I'd love to be inspired by some

good recipes. Thanks! B

[Guest guest]

Here you go Banda :-) You may have to hit the page then click the recipe link,

but

most are direct links to the recipes. These are my favs, so enjoy. If you find

some good

ones yourself, let me know.

Namaste.<br><br><br><a href=http://soyfoods.com/recipes/index.html

Thanks for the links. I agree on the toxic

thoughts although I also believe toxic thoughts grow best

in toxic environments. Its also remarkable what we

can adapt to when we have a clear mind ,so Guy, your

point is well taken.
