Brian and I discuss a controversial topic in Buddhism: vegetarianism. Theravada Buddhists, and arguably the Buddha himself, eat/ate meat, and the ancient rules of monastic discipline allow meat eating even in the Mahayana rules of discipline...yet Mahayana Buddhists in particular denounce this, and western Buddhists apply extraverted utilitarian ethics to the issue which is alien to early Buddhist morality.

Well you see, it's like this: I livestreamed this on YT earlier today, with about half the questions appearing in the chat, and being practically Amish with regard to livestreaming I don't know how to save the chats. So half the questions are not on any printed list and so I have no "Questions include" paragraph that usually appears here. For your convenience, though, I removed the first five minutes of the livestream, which involved me trying to get the livestream actually to work in some recognizable way. Cheers.
