ParamaSathya: Well its a nice tricky question. destruction of a life to save another life. If this happens,you are having both consequences of killing an animal and Saving a Child. Good consequences (merit) for saving a life, and the bad consequence (sin) for destructing a life. Two intentions arises one after another (saving a life and destructing a life)
Tell me if I'm wrong. From what you have said and I have read about the cycle of reincarnations, a living being will have a better body in its next life when their actions are good. So if I kill the snake before it makes a bad action, its life will be better in its next incarnation since it hasn't to bear the blame. And I would have saved the child, so my action will be good for him, the snake and also for me. Isn't it?
By the way, did you know that in Arizona want to ban the karma?

Having a better body in next life will depend on the mind of the death (Chuthi Sitta). It will cause to the mind of the birth (Janma Sitta). Snake may have a good or bad life after the death cos of the state of his mind at death not cos of your action. Mind rules the actions, mind precede the action.
BelladonnaMaria: We replicate what our parents have become! It is up to us to break the vicious cycle of bad karma! God has implanted within us the ability, coupled with enough intelligence work that one out for ourselves! That meat truck we find ourselves riding behind on its way to slaughter becomes us! For it will be us they will be sticking their fork into the next time round. Our karma becomes the meat on their plate & that is only fair! May God have mercy upon their souls! & may they find everlasting peace! Merry Christmas all! From: Humans, nothing but cannibals pretending to be civilized! Author: FOR ALL WE KNOW WHAT DO WE KNOW?

Death is the natural progression of existence. If one excepts this inevitable fact, then transition will be easier achieved, and it doesn't matter. But there's also a thing called self preservation and survival that one has to consider in any given situation, because it is our duty to adapt and overcome, its our earthly imprint and guarantees the perpetuation of our godly seed to be passed on to a new generation.
In other words, you better make damn good and sure you kill me first because paybacks are hell
Mysst: Karma is just another word for "Ego" as with any other word or explanation of something that's of a "not understood reason" created by man like the word "GOD"
Karma is created cos of the egoism, and egoism is created cos of the ignorance (nescience/unenlightenment)

No need of killing you, cos the human inside you is already dead. It only remains a mind of an animal/wild beast when there is no human inside a person.
When come knocking upon my door bible in hand? I tell them to put their little book of man-made tricks down & to go spend a day in an abattoir & then to come back to me & tell me, exactly how they feel about it! Do humans have any feelings at all! Sometimes I wonder which happens to be very often! Manipulators of a kind they are... Say no morrrrrre! Byeeeeeeeeee! I'm off to incentivise myself NOT to eat any meat, the god given lives of others, for if I eat of their lives how then can I respect the lives of my fellow human beings? Therefore I am off to go watch some slaughterhouse videos on You Tube now! Please join me if you dare! As Paul McCartney once said: “If slaughter houses had glass walls everyone would be vegetarian!”
ParamaSathya: My friend, your question is very good and the answer for that can be too long according to the Buddhist Doctrine. To give this question a precise answer I have to explain the reincarnation/cycle of births and rebirths of the different grounds/worlds/planes of the living beings. Anyway I'll try to shorten my answer as much as I can.
To your question my direct answer is "yes"
According to the Buddhism,mainly there are 4 types of blazes/evil states 1. Thirisan (animal) 2. Asura 3. Pretha 4. Yama And for the other three things I can't give single English words since they misinterprets the real meaning of these words.They are used for demons, devils,ghosts,phantoms,tempters,fiends,goblins,gremlins and geneis etc and many more.
Thirisan (Animal) According to the teachings, animals are sentient beings just as humans, comprised of mind-matter (nama-rupa) combination. They are subject to the same kammic laws as humans. A being may be born in the animal plane (which is classed below that of human) as a result of unwholesome kamma.
That's why it is cold that this eternal "Sansara" (cycle of births and rebirths) is full of sorrow and sufferings.No eternal agreements can be made with this sansara.It is so disputable and everything is unstable. Buddhism is not a religion. It is a method for ending up the journey of this sansara.
Kind sir, these are all fixed beliefs with nothing to mirror them. SI believe that Siddhartha would be displeased to read such mental imagery which does not account for the fullness of the truth.
ParamaSathya: well...Pants do not have the type of consciousness (vinnana) inherent in a sentient being, therefore rebirth as a plant or tree is not possible.
Have you heard that Carrots,Cabbage,Potatoes and fruits etc scream when you are going to uproot/pluck/cut or eat them ? Have you seen or heard that they scream for their lives or for their loving ones ? Haven't you seen animal breed and look after their cubs/youngers etc and feeding them ? Nobody can justify the known fact cos of an unknown fact. How could you close to the invisible god, without having the sense over the known visible facts on this earth. We can justify the things over logics, but we can't cheat our own hearts/minds. And even destroying plants over unnecessary issues is also an evil thing. Cos, all the living being are depend on plants and there is another fact too. That is whether you believe it or not, plants are the "Vimanas"(homes) of some sort of supernatural beings. So please listen to your own heart first my friend not to the brain on this issue. Brain is fascinated to the taste of the meats and it tries to justify telling you lot more things to get done its needs.

Well study our digestive system ,our teeth and tell me what you see
it is true ,we can survive on almost any kind of fat and sugar but we were designed to be omnivorous
Boban1: Well study our digestive system ,our teeth and tell me what you see

Being having the ability to everything , and being given human intellect to understand what is right and what is wrong tell me which one is correct. Do everything what we want for our survive or do the right thing for our survive. We must show a bit of difference apart from the animals. Am I correct ? In case of need to get your self survived,could you kill and eat you own relation (son,daughter,wife or friends etc)cos being an omnivorous according to you ?

As you probably know, there was a time when the human race used to eat other human beings ( cannibalism) ,some cults still have the custom of drinking human blood ,the entire modern civilization resorts to killing people ( wars on bigger or smaller scale ) for various reasons As you can see, giving up on consuming animal flesh is a long process,its not something that can happen over night

Sorry I'm not put myself into any kind of belief. I am searching. Buddhists are not believers, they are seekers of the truths. The sounds of "Buddha" means = enlightened,intellect Our mind is free and full freedom has been given to us from Buddhism as well as the Real Hinduism to question anything about them. And we are not ready to accept everything even in the Buddhist scriptures unless they are not well suit with our own wisdom/intellect.Cos these things are maintained by human hands and they can be distorted with the time. But we have been given an intellect/wisdom to reveal the truth. And Buddhism is not merely a religion. Every body can look at it,question it, follow it or leave it. Its the doctrine of this universe. There are no believers in Buddhism. Free your mind from obligation, and look around while exploring yourself. And no body should call me a Buddhist even...cos it makes nothing to me. Be a seeker of the truth.

Well....not only it won't happen in over night ,it may never happen Cos human mind is preceded easily by the lust,greed,passion,jealousy which creates cos of our ignorance/nescience.
But people who as a better understanding about cannibalism will never carry even its ruins on.
Once I saw the the horrer of killing a bull in a butchery . The fear and horrer prevailed in the pleading eyes of that poor animal was beyond anything I saw so far and it actully stirred my soul . I stopped being a non vegitarian from that moment onwards . I believe we have no right to have personal pleasures by denying someones rights , by inflicting pain and torture. Its not about sin or something like that . Its all about feeling good about what you do.
