🔍 CAN BUDDHISTS EAT MEAT? THE ANSWER THAT DIVIDED BUDDHISM FOR 2,500 YEARS

Can Buddhists eat meat? The answer is more complicated than most people think.
In this video, we explore what Buddha actually said about meat, why some Buddhist monks accept it, why many Mahayana traditions reject it, and how Theravada, Mahayana, and Vajrayana Buddhism developed different answers to the same uncomfortable question.

This is the debate Buddhism has never resolved: one teacher, one path, and a question that has fractured traditions, toppled a monastic rule, and been shaped by an emperor most Buddhists have never heard of. From the Buddha's final meal to the Dalai Lama's own unexpected confession about his diet, the truth about Buddhism and meat is far more complex than any simple rule.
