This month we look at the following questions:

• Do Buddhists eat meat?
• What is Enlightenment?
• Is there a difference between meditation and mindfulness?

………………………………..

These questions touch on the wide interpretations of the Buddha’s prohibition on killing sentient beings and karmic results; the different motivations for not eating animal flesh or products; the history of food rules in Buddhism and the ritual and symbolic meaning of food; a re-telling of the Parable of the Rope and the relationship between sitting meditation and meditation in activity.
