Meat As A Source Of Energy And Heat For The Body On The World Plateau-Explore Tibet.

456

Tibet is the highest region on Earth, with an average elevation of 4,900 metres (16,000 ft). Many have the question why Tibetan Buddhist eat meat because it slaughtering animal and taking away the life of an innocent animal and basically or literally no one has the right to take life of any being and every being has the right of live. As a Buddhist we consider it to be overruled the Buddhist Philosophy to slaughtering any being. But the act of eating meat is not always prohibited. There was an exception to the meat for alms rule, however. If monks knew or suspected that an animal had been slaughtered specifically to feed monks, they were to refuse to take the meat. On the other hand, leftover meat from an animal slaughtered to feed a lay family was acceptable. Buddhism discourages fanatical perfectionism. The Buddha taught his followers to find a middle way between extreme practices and opinions. For this reason, Buddhists who do practice vegetarianism are discouraged from becoming fanatically attached to it. All Buddhists are vegetarians, right? Well, no. Some Buddhists are vegetarians, but some are not. Attitudes about vegetarianism vary from sect to sect as well as from individual to individual. If you are wondering whether you must commit to being a vegetarian to become a Buddhist, the answer is, maybe, but possibly not.The basic diets of Tibetan since the Buddhism emerged in Tibet has been meat, Tsampa and butter because of her geographical location and in order to adopt with climate conditions of Tibet. Tibet is dwelling on the highest plateau of the world and cultivating vegetables in such areas are inappropriate due to the weather and due to lack of technologies then. We cannot expect apples from mango tree. Due to this specific reason Tibetan people mainly depend on meat as their source of energy and to sustain the heat of the body in this harsh cold weather or we can say to adopt with the climate.
