It is a pity that - while so many good articles on Buddhism and vegetarianism are available - articles on Buddhist teachings regarding vegetarianism many times are written by meat eating authors without much knowledge on the subject. Also the part on vegetarianism of this very article is clearly not written by a buddhologist or a Buddhist teacher and is of the mark. It therefore should be deleted or at least ignored.
Please compare the text with the following articles (Deep linking is allowed by the site owner, as mentioned at the bottom of the main page).
- Buddhism & Vegetarianism by Ajahn Jagaro (John Cianciosi)
- Meat, Garlic and Onions: An Analysis of Eating Restrictions in Buddhist Culture By Nick Kembel

[edit] This article
Hmmm. While an examination of Buddhist philosophy's take on ethics is certainly an interesting idea, this article is a bit of a hodge-podge at the moment. The broad overview in the intro is interesting, but the way the rest of the article is set out seems to be more reflective of the author's interests than of Buddhist ethics as a whole.
The choice of individual ethical questions seems fairly arbitrary - in particular, the stuff re abortion seems fairly POV to me, and the comments re Buddhism's "lack of a holy war" and sex roles seem incongruous and not really in keeping with the topic of the article. There are also fairly significant omissions - for example, no mention of the Eightfold path, which surely must play a part in any discussion of Buddhism's views on ethical behaviour...?

- Sorry, scratch that last bit - Sila does get mentioned, albeit in isolation rather than in the context of the entire Eightfold Path. Tpth 03:13, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Lack of integrity
I dont think this article is upto the standard yet. So many conjectures and opinion. The writer seems to be lacking of profound knowledge in Buddhism himself.

[edit] Conflicts of Buddhism?
I'm researching, and very disappointed there are NO conflicts here on Buddhism, and I need at least three, anybody know any?
