Shojin and veganism

Shojin is “religious abstention from animal foods” and is based on the core religious teaching of ahimsa, or harmlessness, the practice of refraining from causing harm to other sentient beings.

Shojin and samadhi are seen to work together, with shojin purifying the body-mind and allowing, though certainly not guaranteeing, access to the spiritually enriching experience of samadhi.

Outer compassion and inner stillness feed each other.

Shojin and veganism are essential to our spiritual health because they remove a fundamental hindrance on our path.

May all beings be free and at peace,  Will
