No he was strictly vegitarian and also he never in his life kill any living things. Hinduism, and budhism both belive in sacred nature of life and belive that all living beings are sacred.

Answer:

Although the popular thought is that Buddhists are vegetarians (this would include the Buddha's dietary habits) this is not true.

Buddhists are advised to abstain from:

  • the killing of sentient beings
  • requesting that animals to be killed for their food
  • the eating of animals which are predators

However, like most of Buddhism instructions, these are suggestions, not rules. Balancing these suggestions, Buddhists:

  • eat meat when no vegetarian food is available (e.g. in Tibet)
  • eat whatever food is given to them as an offering
  • eat meat if that is their preference

The Buddha himself is said to have died from eating tainted pork given to him by a local butcher. As a modern example, the Dalai Lama (the reincarnation of the Buddha of Compassion) was not a vegetarian in his youth.
