How does what you eat affect you and your world? Is there a connection between vegetarianism and living a spiritual life? A trained vet, respected teacher, and happy vegan, Bodhipaksa answers all of these questions and more. Tackling issues such as genetically modified vegetables and modern ways of producing food, he dispels widespread myths and reflects upon the diets dominant in the contemporary West. In comparison, he considers the diets of wandering monks in ancient India and the diet of the Buddha himself. By considering why people eat meat and relating this to Buddhist ethics, Bodhipaksa explores habits and the possibility of change. He takes a positive view of the benefits of vegetarianism, and shows practically how to maintain a healthy and balanced vegan or vegetarian lifestyle. This exploration shows how a meat-free life can not only lighten the body but also the soul. A BUDDHIST VIEW series examines key issues from a Buddhist perspective, offering practical guidance for living in the 21st century. Bodhipaksa (Graeme Stephen) was born in Scotland, and currently lives and teaches in New Hampshire. He has been practicing Buddhism since 1982, has been a member of the Triratna Buddhist Order since 1993, and runs the online meditation centre wildmind.org.
