"Changes in Buddhism (Precepts) Brought by New Technology"

"Changes in Buddhism (Precepts) Brought by New Technology": In the Buddha's time, pressing sesame oil was to let an insect eat sesame first, and then the insect's body could directly metabolize the sesame oil into sesame oil, and then press the insect's body to remove the sesame oil from the body. The sesame oil is extracted from it, so this method of oil extraction requires a lot of killing, so the Buddha forbids "eating sesame oil" in the Buddhist scriptures. However, the later oil extraction process did not require the use of insects, especially the modern and modern advanced extraction methods did not even require manpower. Therefore, the system of prohibiting the consumption of sesame oil in Buddhist scriptures can now be cancelled, because sesame oil has nothing to do with killing. However, the process of "cat feces coffee" affects the cat's body. Although it does not kill the cat (civet), it is unethical to use the civet's body for long-term commercial interests. Therefore, for "cat feces coffee" , I suggest you try not to use it. (Lucky Fruit 2022.08.05)

Milk is also the same as "cat shit coffee". I drank a bottle yesterday and got a stomach upset. Now the living environment of cows is very bad.

Until I turn back, may I not be reborn in a family that makes a living by killing, stealing, adultery, and drinking
