Not Vegetarian - despite reports
Buddha Many sources say Buddha
died from eating bad mushrooms, not pork. It is widely
understood
that the Buddha taught his monks against killing animals, but, since they
were to live on
alms, to accept
meat given to them so long as the animal had not been killed specifically
for their
benefit. However,
people who offered food to Buddha would have certainly known his preference
for vegetarian
meals, so may have prepared fitting food.
