GOI staff were neither virulent anti-Modi for a decade nor a supporter of corrupt UPA regime for decade to avoid BJP come to power sacrificing their own interests for and reaped a harvest of benefits granted by 7th pay commission plus more rather reductions on previous occasions-courtesy -MODI. They had not utilised TU rights which are in statute or not. In LIC they lost then existing TU rights long back 44 years ago and had no intention to recover till this day resulting enormous cruelty to retirees albeit gradually every 5 years-curtesy In- Service. As they are conditioned in an ideology they become anti-democratic toward dissidents for expressing different views. They are happy to be abusers to one another. One can see free flow of comments here. So Retirees are forced not to get their legitimate GOI like benefits but graciously from the bankrupt Banking sector and not from lucrative lakhs and lakhs crores of windfall profit gifted by LIC to GOI. Resorting to splitting hairs of enormous laws of India had almost became a habit. Not feeling a pity on those died from 1.9.56 to 31.10.93 with stagnant wages with no pension unlike that of SBI. Such a mentality unfortunately continues,
Why godless Buddha's teachings against superstition. meat eating, violence and etc., are not followed by so called Buddhists all over the world
Variations in how strictly the Buddha's teachings are followed across the world are due to a blend of cultural adaptations, different interpretations among Buddhist schools (Theravada, Mahayana, Vajrayana), practical necessities, and the emphasis on personal intention over rigid rules.
Superstition
The Buddha explicitly taught against superstition, emphasizing individual responsibility, rational thought, and the law of karma (cause and effect) rather than luck, omens, or fortune-telling. However, as Buddhism spread historically:
Cultural Fusion: Local folk traditions and customs were often integrated with Buddhist practices in various regions (e.g., Thai amulets for protection, specific rituals in Himalayan Buddhism to appease local deities).
Skillful Means: Some traditions use myths and seemingly "superstitious" narratives as "skillful means" to engage a wider range of people and gradually guide them toward the core principles of the Dhamma.
Modern Reform: In the modern era, some Buddhist reformers have actively tried to separate "pure" Buddhist doctrine from what they consider cultural "superstition" to align the religion with modern rationality and science.
Meat Eating
The approach to consuming meat is one of the most significant variations in Buddhist practice:
Theravada Tradition: The Buddha did not issue a blanket prohibition on meat-eating for monks. Monks are permitted to eat meat if they have not seen, heard, or suspected that the animal was killed specifically to feed them (the "three-fold pure" meat rule). This rule was practical as monks relied on alms from the lay community and could not be choosy.
Mahayana Tradition: Many Mahayana scriptures, such as the Lankavatara Sutra and Mahaparinirvana Sutra, strongly advocate for complete vegetarianism and condemn all meat consumption, stating it extinguishes the seed of great compassion (Mahakaruna).
Vajrayana/Tibetan Tradition: Due to harsh geographical conditions in Tibet where vegetables were historically scarce, meat consumption became a practical necessity for survival. However, prominent contemporary Tibetan masters, including the Dalai Lama, strongly encourage vegetarianism whenever possible, especially in places where plant-based diets are viable.
Emphasis on Intention: The core principle across all schools is non-killing (ahimsa). The karmic consequence is primarily tied to the intention and the direct act of killing, rather than the consumption of meat itself, which allows for the variations in practice based on context.
Violence
The principle of ahimsa (non-violence) and compassion for all sentient beings is a fundamental tenet of all Buddhist schools. All Buddhists accept the first of the Five Precepts: "I undertake the precept to refrain from taking life".
Consistency in Principle: There is general consistency in the ethical prohibition of intentional killing and violence toward humans and animals. Right Livelihood guidelines also caution against professions like trading in meat, weapons, or poison.
Inconsistencies in Practice: Despite the teachings, some cultural rituals, particularly in certain remote or traditional Vajrayana communities, have historically involved animal sacrifice, although many contemporary Buddhist leaders are working to replace these with bloodless rituals or symbolic offerings.
In summary, the application of Buddhist teachings varies widely because different traditions prioritize different texts, interpret precepts with varying levels of strictness based on cultural and environmental contexts, and place ultimate responsibility on individual conscience and intention rather than a universal, rigid code.
AI can make mistakes, so double-check responses
whether the principle of ahimsa (non-violence) by Buddha was enunciated any hindu school of thought other than jain before Buddha? AI Mode:
Yes, the principle of ahimsa (non-violence) was enunciated in Hindu thought in texts composed before the time of the Buddha, independently of Jainism.
The concept developed within the Vedic tradition over time:
The term ahimsa first appears in the Taittiriya Shakha of the Yajurveda (c. 1000–600 BCE), referring to non-injury to the sacrificer.
An early reference to pashu-ahimsa (non-violence to animals) appears in the Kapisthala Katha Samhita of the Yajurveda (c. 8th century BCE).
The Chandogya Upanishad (800–600 BCE) uses ahimsa in a broad ethical sense, prohibiting violence against "all creatures" and listing it as a key virtue. It suggests that practicing this form of ahimsa can lead to liberation from the cycle of rebirths.
Although early Vedic practices involved animal sacrifices, ahimsa became increasingly important in later Vedic and Upanishadic periods, a development within the Brahmanical tradition. Some scholars suggest influence from ancient Shramana traditions.
By the time of the Buddha and Mahavira, ahimsa was a well-established concept in various Hindu philosophical schools, despite ongoing discussions in texts like the Mahabharata about exceptions for self-defense and royal duties.
The above comment was made by me as suggested by AI. and not Anonymous. Any way comments cannot change the conditioned people of any ideology. No one reads or comments either here or in "Your Voice" which is banned/ removed. This also may be banned as no one likes "Facts". If this comment is also not banned I may rarely continue to comment after the SC judgment which may not end in near future unless conditioning of minds also ends to prove my point.
