Hmmm sorry if my quote is wrong. My Sikh friends said that Sikhs are recommended to be a vegan as practice of compassion to all beings. Probably he has different thought or denomination in Sikh

That is the definition or the cover between the Buddhism and Sikhism. The differences are : 1. Buddhism doesn't believe in Creator, Sikhism does. 2. Buddha was not a vegan, but 10 Gurus were. (But the Buddhists in China and Vietnam are vegan, because the influence of Taoism) And the way of life between those two religions is different. 1. Sikh Gurus commanded us to do Sewa, Kirtan or Bhajan, chanting the Waheguru name, meditation, and deep realization of God, so we can out of this reincarnation wheel. 2. Buddha commanded us to keep Sila (don't kill, steal, adultery, cheat, and drunk), do Samadhi (deep meditation with any objects), and have Panna (wisdom), so we can out of this reincarnation wheel and attain Enlightment. Buddha and Sikh Gurus didn't command their disciples to pray any sculptures, paintings, or any statues. But they commanded us to practice / applicated the Gurus' teachings in our daily life. Praying is not too essential, and it is just culture of ethnic. Indian and Chinese have traditions to pray ancestor and anyone they salute or proud of, and these 2 religions are very tolerant and can adapt well with any cultures as long as the cultures don't harm any beings. (The summary of comparing Buddhism, Sikhism, and Hinduism)

Satshriakal. I am Benz from Indonesia. I am Buddhist Confucianist from small, but I make friends with a lot of Sikh Punjabi and Sindhi. Sometimes I visit Gurdwara Perbandhak near my home, I feel so comfortable and somewhat calm. The Gurdwara Perbandhak is located beside Shri Mariamman Temple (Hindu Tamil Temple). In radius 200 metres, there are so many temples again, 2 Tamil Moslem Mosque, 6 Churches, 2 Buddhist and Confuianist Temples, 1 Tamil Buddhist Temple, and 2 Tamil Hindu temples. I have visited them all, but I really love the condition in Buddhist and Sikh Temples. The Gurdwara Perbandhak was established at about 1881 by Sikh Punjabis who was brought by England. And the Shri Mariamman Hindu Temple at the right side of Gurdwara, was established at 1884. There's a Punjabi school, Khalsa, at the left side of Gurdwara, but it has closed due to nationalization. It'll be open soon next year. In my city, there are 4 Gurdwaras and about 40 Hindu Temples (usually established by Tamils, Telugus, and Malayalees). As far as I am concern, Sikh and Buddhism are simple and practical religions. Buddhism believes no God, and the source of this galaxy is unidentified, because it can't be reached out by our small brain. Karma law exists itself, neither created nor perished, and all beings depend on the karma law. Buddha didn't create this karma law, but he just found it and taught us about this eternal law. So is Sikhism. Sikhism believe in reincarnation and karma law. But the difference is just at the theory of "Creator". Sikhism believes that Karma, reincarnation, and any anything are created by Lord Almighty (Pantheistic). Different from Buddhism that Karma is not created, but appeared itself as eternal law. The source of karma and the beginning of life are unidentified. If there is any false, please forgive me, and tell me the right. Merbhani..
