- If there is animal worth dancing with
- It is the cow not the wolf
- When we were young
- The cows were our substitute mothers
- She gave us her milk just like mother’s milk
- So when one grows up
- There should be some gratitude at least
- In sparing her flesh for food
- The Hindus regard the cows as sacred
- For this very simple reason
- For those who rear cows for their milk
- And sent them to the slaughter house when old
- Is most ungrateful
- Nobody will do that to his mother
- If cows could be valued as ‘once my mother’
- Then her life will most likely be spared
- And given a decent burial when the time comes
- Buddha says,
- Right livelihood
- In this regard, for her milk not her flesh
- May this also applies to other living beings
- Such as the hen for her eggs
- The goat for her milk
- May the shepherd lead the sheep
- To eat only grass and to have her wool
- To keep us warm
- And not to satisfy our stomach
- May vegetable be to man as
- Grass is to sheep
- JiGong said,
- "The heart is the cruelest if we kill
sentient beings
- The mouth is the dirtiest if we eat
meat."
- In a holy seminar of Tao
- There was a manifestation of a ‘Fish Demon King’
- She was the concubine of an emperor in China
- Because of her cruelty, many people suffered and died
- Then she was punished and became an evil fox spirit
- After many thousands of years of sufferings
- She is now a ‘Fish Demon King’
- She said she hated spiritual people
- Who professed to be holy
- But yet take meat
- There will be problem for them.
- She promised.
