Because Buddhism teaches that all life is sacred, Buddhists are vegetarian. Buddhism is the major religion in a number of countries and is made up of several branches or sects. The diets are adapted to the regions and the sects involved. In Tibet for example, the major dietary components are barley and yak milk. In Japan it is vegetables, rice and soy products.

Most Buddhist follow no special rules regarding the frequency of their meals. There are some communities that don't eat after their midday meal and others that have a range of other restrictions. There isn't really one rule for all.

Buddhists are allowed to eat anything that is offered to them including meat. Buddhists are not allowed to kill or have someone else kill for them, any sentient being (any non-plant life). Because of their great compassion for all living things, many Buddhists are vegetarians. However some Buddhist do eat meat when there is a scarcity of other food.

Traditionally they do not eat spicy or strong flavored plants (garlic or onions) as it may "excite" them.

Buddhists generally refrain from intoxicating substances such as alcohol as they disrupt the mental processes and interfere with being able to think clearly potential leading to lust and other negative emotions.
