Exploring the relationship between Buddhism and vegetarianism, this book challenges the common perception that Buddhist teachings mandate non-violent food practices. Through ethnographic research and interviews, it examines the Pali source materials, revealing that they do not promote vegetarianism and that most Buddhists do not adhere to it. The investigation delves into the complexities of animal ethics within Buddhist culture, offering a nuanced perspective on dietary practices and beliefs.
