Description

Explore the complex relationship between Buddhist doctrine and dietary choices in this scholarly study from Routledge. While Buddhism is often associated with total pacifism toward all sentient beings, the actual practice of vegetarianism varies significantly across the religion. This book examines why the P li source materials do not explicitly encourage vegetarianism and why many Buddhists do not follow a meat-free diet. Using ethnographic evidence and direct interviews, the text provides a deep investigation into animal ethics within a Buddhist cultural domain. By focusing on Sri Lanka, the research offers a clear look at how religious principles interact with real-world food practices. This work is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in Asian religion, philosophy, and the practical application of non-violence in daily life.
