Buddha's Final Teaching on Avoiding Meat & Fish

Back

Shakyamuni Buddha's Final Teaching on Abstaining from meat & fish. In the Buddha's last teaching before his passing, he said in no uncertain terms that his followers to abstain from meat and fish. He stated that to eat meat or fish destroys the great seed of compassion. The Buddha said that even if a monk is offered meat or fish, to accept it but wash away the meat and fish with water and eat the rest and if there is too much meat in the offering, to not accept it. He said in the 100 years that people would state that the Buddha said it was acceptable to eat meat. They will claim to be following the Buddha but they are not. Any follower who abstains from meat is truly following his wishes and is practicing right action. The vid contains excerpts of the last teaching of the Buddha called the "Nirvana Sutra"
