James Bean"The steam of meat meals darkens the spirit. One
can hardly have virtue if one enjoys meat meals and
feasts. In the earthly paradise [Eden], no one
sacrificed animals, and no one ate meat."
— Saint Basil the Great
The above reminds me of this saying of the Buddha:
"The eating of meat extinguishes the seed of great compassion."
(The #Buddha, Mahaparinirvana #Sutra)
