    THE BAH'I FAITHRegarding 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.

    ~ Selections from the Bah Writings on Some Aspects of Health

    BUDDHISMALL MEATS EATEN BY LIVING BEINGS ARE OF THEIR OWN RELATIVES.

    ~ Lankavatara Sutra (Tripitaka No. 671)

    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

    CHRISTIANITYMeats 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

    CONFUCIANISMAll 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.

    ~ Mencius, King Hui of Liang, Chapter 4

    ESSENESI 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

    HINDUISMSince 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

    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

    ISLAMALLAH 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

    JUDAISMAnd 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

    ~ Leviticus 17:10, Holy Bible

    JAINISMA true monk should NOT ACCEPT SUCH FOOD AND DRINK as has been especially prepared for him INVOLVING THE SLAUGHTER OF LIVING BEINGS.

    ~ Sutrakritanga

    TAOISMDo 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

    SIKHISMThose mortals who consume marijuana, flesh and wine - no matter what pilgrimages, fasts and rituals they follow, they will all go to hell.

    ZOROASTRIANISMThose 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

    TIBETAN BUDDHISMThe 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.

    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.

  • 8 BE VEGAN, MAKE PEACE

    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.

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

    Alicia Silverstone

    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.

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.

    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.

    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.

    TofuStep 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.

    NOTE: Lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, vinegar, calcium sulfate (gypsum),

    or natural nigari salt can also be used as coagulants.
