Opinions vary by sect but the correct answer is “lots of clotted cream”
Yes, Buddhist Tantric diet would include anything that you can eat until you’re paralyzed and can’t move but still survive (which includes clotted cream, thus far). Renunciative paths tend to avoid meat and alcohol on the grounds of avoiding contributing to obvious suffering. 1/2
Vajrayana includes the perspective that avoiding contributing to suffering is impossible, (e.g. producing flour kills trillions of sentient beings) therefore there can be no best option, only conscientious individual choice. 2/2
I agree that it's not possible... but isn't it sorta obvious that not eating meat reduces suffering? (I say this as a meat-eater, so no holier-than-thou here). Is this maybe just because of available foods in Tibet?
Yeah, it's somewhat difficult. I think it's far from obvious that ALL animal life suffers. Some obviously do, but, like, a mosquito? Also, other species are incapable of suffering for reasons we can. A rabbit cannot consider itself wronged because it was denied an entitlement
Yes, this is important in understanding Buddhist takes on meat eating (and also killing in general).
