Buddhist monks staple deit? |
[Edit] |
There is no one answer to this question. Basically the staple diet of a Buddhist Monk is the simplest form of the staple diet of the society in which he or she lives. Thus in a society in which the diet is based on rice the monk's diet is based on rice, in one in which wheat or other grains are the staple then these will form the basic element of the monk's diet. Buddhism like its relative religion Hinduism is essentially a vegetarian culture though not exclusively. Some Thai buddhists will eat fish and some Thibetans meat. In nomadic pastoral societies where animal products are the basic diet a Buddhist may be obliged through necessity to eat some meat and milk products. Simplicity and respect for the living world are key facets of Buddhist life.
