Exposing Vegan Roots
Eighth century BC. Greek poet, Hesiod, portrayed service in agriculture, as sacred work, in his poems Prometheus and Pandora. Mahavira, (Zoroaster), the Persian prophet founder of JAINISM, exhorted his followers to "regard every living being as thyself..." around 628-527 BC. "Noninjury to living beings is the highest religion." Yogashastra. These are vegans' deep roots.
Tao is harmony in life and nature. Many Taoists are vegetarians. Their founder, Lao Tzu (605-530BC) was a man of peace who shunned war-like actions and spoke strongly against them, leaving society at eighty years old for what is now Tibet in protest over societies' unwillingness to follow the path to natural goodness. At the border, a guard asked Lao Tzu to record his teachings before he left. He then composed the Tao Te Ching (The Way and Its Power).
I had a revelation of 1 Tim 4:1-5. I believed that God wanted me to have freedom in what I ate and not to be in bondage to food. Another scripture that pertains to food is Romans 14:1-10.
Ahimsa is a Sanskrit word meaning 'non-harming, noninjuring'. The American Vegan Society described it as 'dynamic harmlessness' and until recently had named its magazine Ahimsa.
A = Abstinence from animal products.
H = Harmlessness with reverence for life.
I = Integrity of thought, word, and deed.
M = Mastery over oneself.
S = Service to humanity, nature and creation.
A = Advancement of understanding truth.
Vegan Spirituality. Many vegans experience increased well-being with their diet. With harmless ways, giving peace of mind, many express this as spiritual or like being in a harmonious/loving relationship with nature.
"Veganism... is my personal, ultimate "faith." It is an all-encompassing ideal for humanity to strive towards. Sienna Blake, editor of Vegan Voice. http://veganic.net/
Vegans respect and care for nature through their actions. Seek to be kind and harm none. Those in this article are our torchbearers, blazing our path and expressing our love messages toward nature and world peace. "Be the change you want to see in the world." Gandhi.
