Exploring the intersection of Buddhism and dietary practices, this book challenges the common perception that Buddhist doctrine mandates vegetarianism due to its advocacy for non-violence. Through ethnographic research and interviews, it reveals that Pāli source materials do not support vegetarianism, and many Buddhists do not adhere to this practice. The investigation delves into the complexities of vegetarianism and animal ethics within Buddhist cultures, offering a nuanced understanding of beliefs and practices surrounding food.
