26.34

又外道雖復非法說法法說非法。各信經書死不違背。今出家人噉食魚肉。或云肉非己殺猶自得噉。以錢買肉亦復非嫌。如是說者是事不然。涅槃經云。一切肉悉斷及自死者。自死者猶斷。何況不自死者。楞伽經云。為利殺眾生以財網諸肉。二業俱不善死。墮叫呼獄。何謂以財網肉。陸設罝罘水設網罟。此是以網網肉。若於屠殺人間以錢買肉。此是以財網肉。若令此人不以財網肉者。習惡律儀捕害眾生。此人為當專自供口。亦復別有所擬。若別有所擬。向食肉者豈無殺分。何得云我不殺生。此是灼然違背經文。是則七不及外道。

Furthermore, although non-Buddhists explain non-Dharma as Dharma and Dharma as non-Dharma, each believes in their scriptures and would die rather than transgress them. Nowadays, those who have left the household devour fish and meat, perhaps saying that meat not killed by oneself may still be eaten, and that buying meat with money is likewise not blameworthy. To speak like this is not so. The Nirvāṇa Sūtra says: 'All meat must be abstained from, even that of animals that die naturally.' Even those that die naturally are prohibited, how much more so those that do not die naturally! The Laṅkāvatāra Sūtra says: 'Killing sentient beings for profit and snaring various meats with wealth—both these actions are unwholesome, and at death one falls into the Screaming Hell.' What does it mean to snare meat with wealth? Setting traps on land and casting nets in water—this is snaring meat with nets. Buying meat with money from butchers among people—this is snaring meat with wealth. If this person were not to snare meat with wealth, would those who practice evil discipline and capture and harm sentient beings do so purely to feed their own mouths, or would they intend it for other purposes? If they intend it for other purposes, how can the meat-eater have no share in the killing? How can one say, 'I do not kill living beings'? This clearly contradicts the sūtra text. This is the seventh way they fall short of non-Buddhists.
