WHY CONSUMING FRESHLY-KILLED ANIMALS WILL CAUSE CANCER; EVEN BODHISATTVAS ARE UNABLE TO HELP NON-VEGETARIANS WHO ARE STRICKEN WITH SERIOUS ILLNESSES
Caller: Hi Master, a Guan Yin Citta practitioner has been cultivating for a few years, but has recently been diagnosed with a terminal illness. When I asked him, “Have you vowed to be a full vegetarian?”, he replied, “No. I have only vowed to be a vegetarian on the 1st and 15th of each lunar month.”
Master, may I know if the Bodhisattva is able to help someone like him who is stricken with a serious illness, but has not even met one of the most important criteria, which is adopting a full vegetarian diet?
Master Jun Hong Lu: You have basically answered your own question. You would be deemed to lack the most fundamental requirement of being a compassionate person if you can still bring yourself to consume the meat of these animals. Pigs are known to consume filthy things and yet, you dare to consume their meat which will end up in your body. In the case of chickens, they feed on those dirtiest things that pass through the drainage system, which is also where human urine is discharged. Can you imagine consuming those chicken meat?
Some even have the audacity to consume dog meat. Dogs are fond of eating faeces and you have to be out of your mind to consume them. Do you even consider yourself to be a human? Do you think it’s possible for you to become a Bodhisattva or avoid developing any serious illnesses? The answer is clear, don’t you think? It’s way too filthy!
