My friend Eric explains why he’s a Buddhist and a vegetarian

Friday, November 13 is the day that the new and updated edition of my book on Buddhism and Vegetarianism, Vegetarianism: A Buddhist View, will become available. I’m having an online book launch party all that day, but here’s a brief video from a friend of mine, explaining why he decided to become a vegetarian as part of his practice of the Buddhist precepts.

    Have you given up dairy/eggs as well then? There is a whole ton of animal suffering attached to the consumption of those products as well.

    I look forward to reading your book. I haven’t eaten any red meat or chicken for 30 years…and feel very healthy. I do eat fish approx. once a week. Much success in your upcoming book launch.
