Ajahn Brahmali was born in Norway in 1964. He first became interested in Buddhism and meditation in his early 20s after a visit to Japan. Having completed degrees in engineering and finance, he began his monastic training as an anagarika (keeping the eight precepts) in England at Amaravati and Chithurst Buddhist Monastery.
After hearing teachings from Ajahn Brahm he decided to travel to Australia to train at Bodhinyana Monastery. Ajahn Brahmali has lived at Bodhinyana Monastery since 1994, and was ordained as a Bhikkhu, with Ajahn Brahm as his preceptor, in 1996. In 2015 he will be entered his 20th Rains Retreat as a fully ordained monastic and received the title Maha Thera (Great Elder).
Ajahn Brahmali’s knowledge of the Pali language and of the Suttas is excellent. Bhikkhu Bodhi who translated most of the Pali Canon into English for Wisdom Publications called him one of his major helpers for the recent translation of the “Numerical Discourse of the Buddha”. He has also published two essays on Dependent Origination and a book called “The Authenticity of the Early Buddhist Texts” with the Buddhist Publication Society in collaboration with Bhante Sujato.

The Buddha teach that Eating should be in moderation, just enough to nurse your body, avoid to much enjoyment so you can live healthy and longevity I don’t think we have any sutra which he talk about what you should and shouldn’t eat

@@williamwakimI already explained the purpose of eating The Buddha already made a statement there is 3 things he can’t do and one of them is he can not convert every body to be Buddhism and for others they think about animals different and I am ok with it When you don’t like something you live with anger and you will suffer from it

The exact words as recorded in the English language Pāli canon edition of this sutta (Majjhima Nikāya 55) are as follows: “Jivaka, I say that there are three instances in which meat should not be eaten: when it is seen, heard, or suspected that the living being has been slaughtered for oneself.
Also he said dealing in meat is a form of wrong livelihood. Others are dealing in poisons, human trafficking, or weapons.
