Guest guest Posted December 9, 1999 Report Share Posted December 9, 1999 Namaste All, Harsha. What exactly is your position on meat-eating and Ahimsa? If meat eating is fine then what is Ahimsa? A child may bully as a child ---fine. The child doesn't have a developed conscience. However does that excuse the same behaviour as an adult? Does understandable or excusable make it right/ahimsa? I know all is ullusion etc. What then is Ahimsa? if killing cruelly is excusable? If all is one, can we kill humans, or eat them? I suppose we could then? The natives near Australia call it 'Long-pig', a bit like pork they tell me. They have no conscience about this on the'fly river', in Papua-New Guinea, it is their culture, is that alright then? Are they right or like the child, in ignorance? Are we talking about Ahimsa or what stage of developement people are in? So don't offend them for,'Father forgive them for they know not what they do.'-Jesus. I understand the broader aspects of Ahimsa in thought word and deed etc but this is a discussion group. I really would like to know your answer to this! Love, Tony the ignorant. ===== Keep on truckin-Chant the Gayatri!
