Therefore practitioners should not eat meat. As that sūtra states: "If worldly sorcerers of wrong views eat meat, their spells will not succeed. In order to accomplish even heterodox arts, they still do not eat meat; how much less can my disciples, seeking the Tathāgata's unexcelled noble path and supermundane liberation, cultivating great loving-kindness and compassion with diligent austerities, still fearing they will not attain it—where could there ever be such liberation attained as a reward by those foolish people eating meat? For this reason, Mahāmati, all my disciples, seeking the bliss of supermundane liberation, should not eat meat." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 93.50](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.93.50) - [Next: 93.52](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.93.52) - [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.93.51) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [諸經要集](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.17.52) — Classical Chinese - [入楞伽經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.lankavatara*zh-bodhiruci.8.32) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.93.51](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.93.51) · Pramāṇa
