As that sūtra states: 'I say that when ordinary people eat pure food in pursuit of a pure livelihood, they should still generate the thought of it being like the flesh of their own child; how much less would I permit the eating of what is not the food of sages and which sages abandon attachment to! Because meat can give rise to immeasurable faults and errors, regarding all the supramundane merits, how could one say that I permit my disciples to consume the impure flavors of various meats and blood? Those who say that I permit this are slandering me.' Therefore the internal Vinaya states: 'Eating raw meat, blood, and the like incurs a sthūlātyaya offense.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 93.53](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.93.53) - [Next: 93.55](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.93.55) - [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.93.54) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [諸經要集](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.17.55) — Classical Chinese - [入楞伽經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.lankavatara*zh-bodhiruci.8.35) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.93.54](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.93.54) · Pramāṇa
