We all know the Buddha claimed to be enlightened. And most claim in that same regard, Jesus was too. Buddha described it as an end to suffering, Jesus saw it as salvation.
I know it's an apples to oranges comparison, but many who claim to be enlightened say that everyone is capable of this. Along with the process comes compassion, forgiveness, lasting happiness, gratitude for all life, and really every positive emotion without any of the negatives.
So how do you guys feel about the concept?

I agree, if it weren't for grain. Grain is bullshit food for livestock for their health and ours. I see no reason to be against eating animals if they ate a natural diet and were treated humanely. I know that's not where most of our meat comes from in the US, but om a moral level - I don't see eating animals as wrong.
We could skip the right to the grain, but grains aren't healthy for the human body, despite what the paid off nutritionists and food advertisers tell you.
