Do I have to be a vegetarian to read Amitabha?

You don't have to be a vegetarian to read Amitabha, but in the end you have to be a vegetarian to go to the pure land. If you can't be a vegetarian at once, you can achieve it step by step.

1 Make a wish that everyone will be vegetarian for a few days, and it is best to be vegetarian on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Gradually increase the number of vegetarian days, eat three clean meats when eating meat and swear not to eat live seafood and fish.

Learn more about causality, understand the fault of eating meat, cultivate compassion, and be vegetarian on the basis of adhering to the first two items.

You have to make a wish in front of Buddha and Bodhisattva to have merit.
