    1. “Jivaka, I say that there are three instances in which meat should not be eaten, when it is seen, not heard, and not suspected [that the living being has been slaughtered for oneself]
      The words that the translators have placed in brackets ” that the living being has been slaughtered for oneself “ do not appear in the Pali text. They were added by the Translators for the sake of clarity…..
      “Surely the idea is that meat is not to be eaten if it is seen, heard from others, or suspected by oneself to be meat.” believe that the Buddha meant to excuse only the accidental eating of meat, which incurs no blame because it involves no intent…….
      Buddha was creating an extremely narrow exception to a broad general rule. The exception presumes the rule. “Do not eat meat”. If there were no such rule, there would be no need for the exception. In fact, the exception reinforce the rule…..

      When we buy meat, or eat meat that someone else has bought, we become the engine that powers the terrible killing machine called the meat industry. We cannot claim innocence by delegating our dirty work to someone else and hiding behind the mask of anonymity.
