The Supreme Lord became too much compassionate when he saw that people are unnecessarily killing animals, as it is going on still. Instead of . . . at least those who are claiming Buddhist, they are killing animals. Hmm? Bruce, is it not? Yes. But in the Buddhist religion there is no sanction for killing animals. Yes?.

We, according to our Vedic system, we do not accept any other system of religion, because we consider them nāstika. That is the primary principle. Nāstika means one who does not believe in the Vedas. He is called nāstika. Not that he does not believe in God. One may believe in God, but one who does not believe in the Vedic literature, he is called nāstika. Veda na manīyā bauddha haila nāstika. Lord Buddha, although he is accepted as incarnation of God, but because he defied the Vedic principles it is said, nindasi yajña-vidher ahaha śruti-jātaṁ (Śrī Daśāvatāra Stotra 7).

Lord Buddha criticized the, I mean to say, sacrificial ceremonies, because in the sacrificial ceremonies sometimes there is recommendation of killing an animal. But he was preaching nonviolence. So he criticized even the sacrifice in yajña. He criticized. Nindasi . . . but a Vaiṣṇava is praying, "My dear Lord, You are defying the Vedic principles."

He knows why the Lord is now defying the Vedic principles; therefore he is devotee. In spite of Lord Buddha's defying the Vedic principles, a devotee is offering him obeisances: keśava dhṛta-buddha-śarīra jaya jagadīśa hare. He knows the Lord, how He is playing, how He is bewildering the atheistic class of men.

The atheistic class of men did not believe in God. Lord Buddha says: "Yes, you don't require to believe in God. There is no God. But you feel yourself that when you are attacked with violence you feel pain. Why should you offer to others?" Because his mission was to stop animal killing. Sadaya-hṛdaya-darṣita-paśu-ghātam.

The Supreme Lord became too much compassionate when he saw that people are unnecessarily killing animals, as it is going on still. Instead of . . . at least those who are claiming Buddhist, they are killing animals. Hmm? Bruce, is it not? Yes. But in the Buddhist religion there is no sanction for killing animals.
