Compassion and nonviolence are central to Buddhist teachings, yet putting those principles into practice—especially in our eating habits—can be a serious challenge. This episode of Truth Files with Jane Velez-Mitchell features Andrea Diaz and Forrest Tierce of Dharma Voices for Animals, the world’s only global Buddhist animal advocacy organization.
Buddhist compassion and nonviolence call on followers to re-examine the ethical impact of consuming animal products. What does it mean to follow a spiritual path while contributing to animal suffering through diet? Andrea and Forrest guide viewers through the Buddhist case for moving toward a plant-based lifestyle—one that reflects deep respect for all sentient beings.
They share powerful insights and practical steps for Buddhists who want to align their daily food choices with their values of non-harm. Whether you’re new to this conversation or seeking encouragement on your journey, this episode offers clear, compassionate guidance.
