One would not even eat cooked rice; why? Because if one contemplates that cooked rice should not be eaten, how much less should one eat meat!" The Buddha told Mañjuśrī: "Because sentient beings lack the power of maitrī-karuṇā and harbor murderous thoughts, for this reason I cut off meat-eating. If one can harbor no harmful thoughts, \[possess\] the mind of great maitrī-karuṇā, and \[act\] for the sake of transforming all sentient beings, then there is no transgression." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 17.41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.17.41) - [Next: 17.43](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.17.43) - [Up: 17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.17) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123~en-mt.17.42) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (3) - [法苑珠林](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.93.41) — 道世, Classical Chinese - [梵網經古迹記](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1815.2.88) — Classical Chinese - [文殊師利問經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.paripriccha.manjusripariprcchasutra*zh-sanghabhara.1.18) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.17.42](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.17.42) · Pramāṇa
