Dear Rajendra,

Thanks for bringing this to the group's attention.Yes here the Buddha (Kassapa) repeatedly states
esāmagandho na hi maṃsabhojanam... ("this is tainted fare, not the eating of flesh" per Norman's translation), in reference to hurting others, breaking the precepts, anger, arrogance, etc.).

Metta, Bryan

The Amagandha Sutta of Sutta Nipata addresses this issue and in this sutta the previous Buddha (I dont remember if its Kassapa Buddha or Konagamana) clearly says that food does not cause polluton.

Dear Jacques,

I do not know if there is an exact statement to this effect (reminds me of Matthew 15:11: "What goes into the mouth does not make a man unclean; it is what comes out of the mouth that makes him unclean"), but it is certainly implicit in several parts of the writings, e. g. the Mahāsīhanāda Sutta MN12 (Nanamoli and Bodhi, page 175) where the Buddha refutes the brahmanical doctrine that "Purification comes about through food". The Buddha does however recognize that eating itself can be a source of affliction, either eating too much or when one becomes dependent on almsfood, either a certain type (e. g. meat) or on a certain householder as alms-supplier (MN 55 Jīvaka sutta, page 474 and following). Hope that helps,

Metta, Bryan

Hello Friends,
Would anyone know the ref. in the Pali Tipitaka of a passage where the Buddha states that pollution come from within (mind defilements, greed, anger etc.) not from without (food) ?
Thanks
