Can an enlightened person be a meat eater?

Not in my experience, no, but there were certainly people who claimed enlightenment and ate meat, so who am I to judge lol. Maybe it’s possible. My body lost all taste for meat and dairy, it became disgusting.

In any event, there are no rules or morality involved in it. Everything is allowed in enlightenment. The question of whether meat is still palatable in full enlightenment is moot. My experience says no, although I still very occasionally enjoy small amounts of chicken.

Also, who cares? When you’re enlightened, you won’t care. Before then, do whatever you like. The more rules you set for yourself, especially based on what’s right and what’s wrong, the harder it will be for you to make the realization.
