Even rice should not be eaten \[in an improper manner\]. Why is that? If devoid of mindful reflection, rice should not be eaten; how much less should meat be eaten!" The Buddha told Mañjuśrī: "Because sentient beings lack the power of loving-kindness and compassion and harbour the intention to kill and harm, for this reason and condition meat-eating is banned. If one can harbour no intention to harm, \[possess\] a mind of great loving-kindness and compassion, and \[do so only\] for the sake of transforming all sentient beings, then there is no fault or transgression." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 93.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.93.40) - [Next: 93.42](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.93.42) - [Up: 93](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.93) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.93.41) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [諸經要集](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.17.42) — Classical Chinese - [梵網經古迹記](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1815.2.88) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.93.41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.93.41) · Pramāṇa
