Let me share...Bhante,<BR/>Thanks for the wonderful blog. <BR/>Let me share with you some of my views.<BR/>From a vegetarian point of view,<BR/>the one of the greatest dilemma for me is to decide whether to kill household pests or not. <BR/><BR/>let's say,<BR/>If i discover a nest of cockroaches behind my cupboard, do i kill them? If this mmosquito is sucking my blood and maybe spreading some dangerous virus into my body, should I kill it? And mayb spreading to another person shortly.<BR/> <BR/>During 14th century, one of the greatest pandemic in human history commonly known as black death was believed to be spread by the fleas on rats. In this case, should we kill the rats to save our lives..... <BR/><BR/>Or do we promote ALL lives without any discrimination even thou it may kill us eventually? <BR/><BR/>OR another scenario (just in my imagination), <BR/>I find myself to be strand on a deserted island. Somehow the island have no fruits and other edible vegetables except pigs.<BR/>(yea, I know there is a higher chance to be strand on a island full of fruits than a island full of pigs, but let's just assume this scenario happens...:)<BR/>So, should i start to hunt some pigs and eat bacon? <BR/>hmmm...hmm....<BR/><BR/>If i have to end another life to save my own life, how should a buddhist <BR/>reacts? <BR/>Once again, thanks for the nice blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
