EAT NO MEAT

More meritorious than a thousand burnt offerings is to give up the practice of killing a living creature and eating its carcase.All the creatures of the world offer worship to the man who refrains from killing and abstains from meat. The poet figures to him the grateful adoration of dumb animals as to a God descended on earth to save them from their relentless enemies.

Share your food with the hungry and help life in all forms. Refrain from causing death to any form of life. All the codes enjoin this. Life is dear, but even to save your life, do not do that which would deprive another creature of its own dear life.
