According to Jainism there lived a hunter in the forest. Once there came a
Digamber Saint. He preached the people about vegetarianism. Most people
took an oath not to eat meat in their life. When he asked the hunter to
leave the eating of meat, the hunter said, "Lord, the meat is our main
food and we can't live without it". At the end he decided to leave eating
meat. Once he became very ill. The doctor advised him to eat meat as
medicine. He refused and did not take meat because of his oath. He was
born in the heaven. So we should remain pure vegetarians and never eat
meat.
