| In 
              his Stages of Meditation [Bhavanakrama] 
              Kamalashila 
              says: 
 When yogis meditate, they should always refrain from eating meat, 
              fish, and so forth. For such foods are at variance with their meditation. 
              They should be moderate in their eating habits.
