  Cause and Effect
  
  To avoid eating meat and to become a vegetarian, is to purify the body but not the tongue from contamination. To be pure in speech is to be pure in words, thoughts and deeds. Pure speech is without anger, blame, hatred, untruth and deceit. To use pure food, speech and always acting kind, is to develop a pure body, heart and mind.

  Cause and Effect
  
  If a man is born handsome and a woman beautiful, it is because in the past, they practised hospitality (gentle and kind to others, didn't scold others) and were charitable to others. If in this life one controls anger, is free in giving, lovingly serve others, respect even the ugly with equanimity.... in one's next life one will have a wholesome personality.
