Vegetarian and Religions

Some Catholic and Orthodox Christians may fast or be vegetarian on Fridays, Lent, or Good Friday.

Many Hindus are vegetarian but this is not compulsory. Some of them eat only vegetarian on Tuesday, some on Thursday, some on Friday, and some on Saturday. However, it depends on their group of religion. According to Wikipedia, there are three main reasons for this: the principle of nonviolence (ahimsa) applied to animals, the intention to offer only “pure” (vegetarian) food to a deity and then to receive it back as prasad, and the conviction that non-vegetarian food is detrimental for the mind and for spiritual development. Many Hindus point to scriptural bases, such as the Mahabharata‘s maxim that “Nonviolence is the highest duty and the highest teaching,” as advocating a vegetarian diet.

For Buddhist, there are a lot of Vegetarian Day. Most Buddhists choose to become vegetarian/vegan to avoid killing animals. Similarly to the Hindu concept of Karma, Buddhism proposes that violence or pain inflicted on others will rebound/return on you, hence the need for a vegetarian lifestyle.  According to Chinese Lunar Calender, every month, there are 10 days to be considered as Vegetarian Day, which are very important days to a Pure Buddhist, they called 10 Vegetarian Days (十斋日 – 初一、八、十四、十五、十八、二十三、二十四、二十八、二十九、三十), which are the 1st, 8th, 14th, 15th, 18th, 23rd, 24th, 28th, 29th, 30th.

In a nutshell, all religions teach people to be a good and kind-hearted human. Vegetarian/ vegan is a way to show the kindness in your true heart to the world. Besides, do you know that Gaia is sick? So, show your caring and love to save her.
