VEGETARIANISM IN RELIGION
THE BAH'I FAITH

Regarding the eating of animal flesh and abstinence


therefrom, know thou of a certainty that, in the beginning of
creawwwtion, God determined the food of every living being,
and to eat contrary to that determination is not approved.

BUDDHISM

ALL MEATS EATEN BY LIVING BEINGS ARE OF


THEIR OWN RELATIVES.
~ Lankavatara Sutra (Tripitaka No. 671)

~ Selections from the Bah Writings on Some Aspects of Health

CAO I

... The most important thing is to stop killing... because


animals also have souls and understand like humans.... IF
WE KILL AND EAT THEM, THEN WE OWE THEM A
BLOOD DEBT.

~ Teachings of the Saints, About Keeping


the Ten Precepts Abstaining from Killing, Section 2

CONFUCIANISM

All men have a mind which cannot bear to see the sufferings
of others. The superior man, having seen the animals alive,
cannot bear to see them die; having heard their dying cries,
HE CANNOT BEAR TO EAT THEIR FLESH.

CHRISTIANITY

Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall
destroy both it and them.
~ 1st Corinthians 6:13, Holy Bible
And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it
was chewed, the wrath of the LORD was kindled against
the people, and the LORD smote the people with a very
great plague.
~ Numbers 11:33, Holy Bible

ESSENES

I am come to end the sacrifices and feasts of blood, and if


ye cease NOT OFFERING AND EATING OF FLESH
AND BLOOD, the wrath of God shall not cease from you.

~ Gospel of the Holy Twelve

~ Mencius, King Hui of Liang, Chapter 4

HINDUISM

Since you...cannot bring killed animals back to life, you are


responsible for killing them. Therefore you are going to hell;
there is no way for your deliverance.
~ Adi-lila, Chapter 17, verses 159-165

ISLAM

ALLAH WILL NOT GIVE MERCY TO ANYONE,


EXCEPT THOSE WHO GIVE MERCY TO OTHER
CREATURES.
~ Prophet Muhammad, Hadith
Do not allow your stomachs to become graveyards
of animals!
~ Prophet Muhammad, Hadith

He who desires to augment his own flesh by eating the flesh


of other creatures lives in misery in whatever species he may
take his birth.
~ Mahabharata, Anu. 115.47. FS, pg. 90

JUDAISM

And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the


strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of
blood*; I WILL EVEN SET MY FACE AGAINST THAT
SOUL THAT EATETH BLOOD*, and will cut him off
from among his people.
*blood: meaning flesh

JAINISM

A true monk should NOT ACCEPT SUCH FOOD


AND DRINK as has been especially prepared for him
INVOLVING THE SLAUGHTER OF LIVING BEINGS.

~ Sutrakritanga

~ Leviticus 17:10, Holy Bible

TAOISM

Do not go into the mountain to catch birds in nets, nor to


the water to poison fishes and minnows. Do not butcher the
ox that plows your field.
~ Tract of the Quiet Way

SIKHISM

Those mortals who consume marijuana, flesh and wine - no


matter what pilgrimages, fasts and rituals they follow, they
will all go to hell.

Those plants, I, Ahura Mazda (God), rain down upon


the earth,to bring food to the faithful, and fodder to the
beneficent cow.
~ Avesta, Venidad Fargard 5-20

The offering to the deities of meat obtained by killing


animate beings is like offering a mother the flesh of her own
child; and this is a grievous failure.

ZOROASTRIANISM

TIBETAN BUDDHISM

Everybody knows the vegetarian diet is good for health and to save the planet. They will be awakening their own great,
compassionate, loving, self-nature. And then their level of consciousness will rise up automatically. And they will understand
more than they ever did. And they will be closer to Heaven than what they are right now.

Leonardo da Vinci
Leonardo da Vinci has been described as the archetypal Renaissance
man and a polymath. He was an Italian architect, anatomist, sculptor, inventor,
geometrician, musician and painter.

Leonardo adhered to a vegetarian diet for ethical reasons. He said: He


who does not value life does not deserve it. He also thought of those who
ate meat: their own bodies shall be made a tomb and the means of transit
of all the living bodies which they have slain. Furthermore he stated: Truly,
man is the king of beasts, for his brutality exceeds theirs. We live by the
death of others: we are burial places! I have from an early age abjured the
use of meat, and the time will come when men such as I will look on the
murder of animals as they now look on the murder of men.

Alicia Silverstone is a noted Hollywood actress best known for her roles in
Hollywood films such as Clueless and her portrayal of Batgirl in Batman &
Robin. Her performances have garnered Emmy and Golden Globe nominations
and she also won National Board of Review.

Silverstone is noted for being an animal rights and environmental activist.


She became a vegan in 1998 after attending an animal rights meeting,
saying I realized that I was the problem I was an animal lover who was
eating animals. She also added, Being vegan truly is the secret to my lifes
joy and peace. I feel physically and spiritually better than I could have ever
imagined knowing that I am doing everything I can to reduce animal suffering
with simple lifestyle choices like being vegan, never wearing any products
made from animals (like wool and leather), and buying only from companies
that NEVER test their products or ingredients on animals.

Soy Milk

3 cups of soy beans


make 1 gallon of soy milk

Step 1: Soak 3 cups of dried organic soybeans in water overnight,


or for at least 8 hours.
Step 2: Drain and carefully rinse the soybeans then add them to a
grinder or blender and blend until smooth. If using a blender
add some water to aid blending.
Step 3: Pour 1 gallon of drinking water into a large pot and add the
blended liquid into it and stir for a few minutes.
Step 4: Strain the liquid through a muslin cloth (cheesecloth) and
squeeze out the soya milk. The pulp remaining in the
cheesecloth is very nutritious also and can be used in bread
making or soups.
Step 5: Bring the liquid to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for at
least 25 minutes. Stir it with a wooden spoon to prevent
burning.
Step 6: The soy milk can be enjoyed on its own, or with agave syrup,
sugar or vanilla which can be added at this stage to flavour it.
Step 7: Serve warm, or chill and enjoy.
NOTE: Soy milk may foam up quickly to the top of the pot. If this happens,
remove the pot from the heat or turn off the heat for a few moments until it
cools a little and the foaming stops.

Soy milk can also be used as a dairy-free substitute in milkshakes,


puddings, soups, and cream sauces.
Grind the soy beans with one of the following: juicer; blender; food
processor; grinder or stone grinder.

Step 1:Prepare 1 gallon of hot soy milk (see 'Soy Milk' recipe).
Step 2:Mix 2 or 2 teaspoons of epsom salts as a coagulant with 1

cups of warm water until they dissolve.
Step 3:Pour 1 cups of the epsom salts mixture into the hot soy milk.

Stir the liquid well, and then let the mixture stand undisturbed

for 4 to 5 minutes.
Step 4:If the resulting curd is similar to the picture on the left, then don't

pour in the rest of epsom salts mixture. If the mixture does not

separate into liquid and solid, then add the remaining salt
coagulant.
Step 5:Pour the mixture into the wooden framed box lined with
cheesecloth.
Step 6:Wrap the cheesecloth around the mixture and put another

wooden box or weights on top of the mixture to press the water

out of the mixture.
Step 7:The tofu will be ready in about 5-10 minutes to be cut into

shapes for you to enjoy. A sprinkle of

salt and black pepper will enhance its

flavor.

P repare F ood with L ove

Our bodies need food to keep us healthy. Our souls depend on love
to grow.

The work in the kitchen is a very great mission. It is like taking care of
God's children, giving them energy and uplifting their souls through
the food.

We wish you to enjoy the food that we have prepared for you with

our love and our sincerity. You will see for yourself that vegan foods
are really delicious and nutritious. I can say even more nutritious and
more delicious than the meat diet; and it's bloodless. When we eat
vegetarian food, afterwards we feel very light: no conscience; no
burden of guilt. We feel like we are full of life and full of vitality again,
to do anything we want, a way of life without any killing, without any
blood, without any burdened conscience.

warm place to ferment.
2. Put bread flour, whole-wheat flour, raw sugar, vegan butter, and sea salt in a bowl, add
fermented yeast, stir well while adding warm water little by little, knead gently to make
dough. Transfer to kitchen board, roll from the inside out repeatedly until smooth and not
sticky.
3. Roll to form round dough, place inside a bowl, cover with wet towel or plastic wrap to
prevent the surface from chapping, leave in a warm corner for 1st fermentation which takes about 40 min, depending on the room temperature.
4. Transfer fermented dough to kitchen board again, divide into 4 portions, roll each into a ball; place on baking pan lined with foil, brush on soymilk,
sprinkle with black & white sesame, and leave in a warm place for 2nd fermentation which takes about 15 min, then put inside an oven pre-heated to
170C for about 20 min.
B (Tofu Cutlet):
1. After rinsing firm tofu, put some heavy object on it to press out excessive water, then mash up with a fork, add wheat germ, flax seed, oatmeal, whole
wheat powder, flour, brewers yeast, dill, thyme and seasonings, stir well and divide into 4 portions, roll to form patties.
2. Add oil to heated pan, fry both sides of the patties until browned.

weather influence.
There are many types of vegan butter or spreads available in large stores or healthfood shops.
