I think The Guardian should be honest about the environmental damage of the meat restaurants and recipes they promote through their Food section, so I started a petition to ask for that, here: www.change.org/GuardianFood

(I also wrote to them but got no reply)

When I was a meat eater I openly admitted vegans had the moral high ground over me, and that I was simply lazy and greedy (and an alcoholic which numbed my feelings but that’s another story for another day), there is literally no reasonable argument for eating meat

The word Yangsi means "who came again into existence," and that's a good word because reincarnation, it's a very misleading idea of some kind of entity or consciousness, or person, of course with the idea of ego being sort of transplated from one body into another, which is of course completely wrong because there is no such thing in Buddhist philosophy and no such thing in reality. There is a stream of consciousness which for ordinary beings is confused state of consciousness that is sort of defined by the amount or mixture of good and bad actions or thoughts and words that we have done in the past that condition that stream of consciousness, and therefore that stream is determine by that mixture of positive and negative actions. In the case of a realized person that has dissolved all the negative emotions, that stream is no longer propelled by karma, it is just propelled by the magnitude of that person's prayer for the beings. So it's no longer a stream of ordinary consciousness it's sheer wisdom that continues.
