	Chinese Food and Healthy Building - Buddhist Philosophy of Health Building
		To Buddhists, the supreme purpose of life is to become a Buddha; their ideal is to “deliver all beings.” They advocate dispelling all private desires and distracting thoughts, doing good deeds, and being altruistic.
		Buddhists sat in meditation, worked, ate vegetarian food, and rejected sex, not to build their health, but to practice Buddhist doctrine.
		Buddhists of the Mongolian, Tibetan, and Dai nationalities in China, who believe in Dacheng Buddhism, all eat meat because meat is more plentiful than vegetables where they live.

		The association of vegetarian eating with the Buddhist way of life is now so strong in China that often the only way to persuade a mainstream restaurant to cook a few dishes without the slightest trace of lard or meat stock is to tell the waiter that a customer is Buddhist.
		Chinese cuisine is rich in ingredients which provide the intensity of flavour one expects from meat, fish and poultry: soy sauce, dried shiitake mushrooms and all kinds of delicious fermented pastes made from soybeans, wheat and beancurd.
		The elaborate Buddhist feast, with its fake duck, shrimp and fish, must have partly grown out of the need for monasteries to entertain their wealthy patrons in suitably opulent Chinese style, and for lay Buddhists to maintain important social relationships without compromising their dietary principles.

	Buddhist cuisine at AllExperts
		Buddhist cuisine is a kind of cuisine mainly for the believers of Buddhism.
		In other regions, it is also common for Buddhists to believe that vegetarianism is better for their karma than eating meat, but to eat meat anyway and consider it something of a bad habit; and, in some areas, such as Japan, avoidance of wu hun foods is not a large part of Buddhism.
		Many Buddhist traditions state the Buddha himself taught that meat offered as charity to monks and nuns should not be refused (as this was the only way for them to gain sustenance), unless the killing was done specifically for the monks and nuns.

		The Buddhist teachings and tradition provide important "food for thought" to all of us; thought that can at least be adopted metaphorically for today's more secular and science-centered world.
		Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike - have only begun to fully appreciate what this tradition can add to current efforts to transform our attitudes towards the world in which we live.
		And so, ahimsa, the compassionate treatment of animals; and the resulting Buddhist vegetarian diet, are essential to the ending of all suffering and ignorance; and a mandatory practice in the quest for true enlightenment for ourselves and all living beings.

		There are numerous Buddhist believers (these are lay persons who are not Buddhist monks) in China who don't eat meat.
		Occasional customers to a Buddhist restaurant tend to forget about the pure veggi dishes and order a table full of imitation meat dishes due to the novelty.
		Buddhist vegatarian restaurants are in good business because the material cost is much cheaper than meat, but the dishes are priced as if they are made of real meat.

		And the good news for vegetarians is that Buddhist vegetarian dishes are included in that tradition as well.
		To follow one of Buddhas five proscriptions, "you shall not kill," monks and nuns have prepared their foods without any animal ingredients over the centuries and their cuisine is called shojin.
		The word shojin generally means Buddhist vegetarian in Japan but originally meant "zeal in progressing along the path to salvation." Because eggs and dairy products were rarely used in Japanese cuisine before the twentieth century, these shojin meals are completely vegan-based, including vegetables, beans, sea-weed, and grains.
