[Buddha-l] on eating meat

[Wong Weng Fai]

IMHO any moral principle can be pushed to an extreme if one is creative
enough. On killing, for example, just being alive means that I am killing
germs and other microscopic beings. Isn't reading Buddha-L during your
office hour stealing? Wait, isn't thinking about your lunch while your
boss pile up your work also stealing?

I think we have to recall the Buddha's advice in the Dhammacakkapavatana
Sutta: "avoid the two extremes (of self-indulgence and
self-mortification)" one should find one's "middle path".
