Therefore, practitioners should not eat meat. As that sūtra says: 'If worldly masters of incantations holding wrong views eat meat, their incantations will not succeed. In order to accomplish even heterodox arts, they still do not eat meat; how much more so for my disciples, who, in seeking the Tathāgata's anuttara noble path and supramundane liberation, cultivate great maitrī-karuṇā and diligently engage in austerities, yet still fear they will not attain it! Where could there ever be such liberation attained as a reward for those foolish people who eat meat? Therefore, Mahāmati, in order to seek the bliss of supramundane liberation, my disciples should not eat meat.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 17.51](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.17.51) - [Next: 17.53](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.17.53) - [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.17.52) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [法苑珠林](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.93.51) — 道世, 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.2123.17.52](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.17.52) · Pramāṇa
