I was asked whether a gluttony is a sin?

Usually we use word “Gluttony” regarding eating and drinking but it does not have to do with overeating. It is excess in anything. Do you remember: “He is a glutton for punishment.” that means persistence in a thing where he gets harmed, but yet he perseveres in it.

Gluttony and all its associations – a very deadly sin. Deadly towards others, and deadly toward self. Restrict you desires – them the cause of all your sufferings.

“We suffer because we desire” – The Buddha.
