A really in-depth, amazing book called "To Cherish All Life: A Buddhist View of Animal Slaughter and Meat Eating", by Roshi Philip Kapleau. This wonderful man sent me a copy of his book when I was in high school, after reading in the newspaper that I was veg/activist.
I strongly recommend this book to anyone who would like to learn more about buddhist's views of animals.
I also suggested this book in some other tribes, so sorry if you are in all of the same tribes as I am and had to read it more than once.

Re: Book Suggestion
Thu, February 8, 2007 - 7:55 AMThe book Amethyst reccomended brought up some really good points(none of which I can remember at the moment because I read it a while ago), but I do remember it was a really good book. It's definately worth reading for your own knowledge, and also for the next time you get stuck with the "why are you a vegan?" question.
The whole time I was reading the book I remember thinking "wow that's another good thing about being vegan". It made me feel really good about being vegan. I'm not saying that I don't already feel great about being vegan, it was just cool to read about being vegan from a Buddhist point of view. They make a lot of sense!
Hope you enjoy the book!
Another great book that isn't technically about being vegan, but is still a great book is the Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff. It's my favorite book. I got the cover tattooed on my arm because the book changed my life so much :) -

Re: Book Suggestion
Thu, February 8, 2007 - 8:35 AMOh wow! I think I read the Tao in Pooh a few years ago, but if you tattooed it on your arm it might be worth looking at again.
I'm looking forward to reading the first book:-) -

It looks to me like the publisher of To Cherish All Life is
"The Zen Center" in Rochester, NY.
The ISBN # is:
0-940306-00-X
When Roshi Philip Kapleau signed my book, he wrote:
"You can't have your friends and eat them too"

Re: Book Suggestion
Mon, February 26, 2007 - 6:59 PMPlease let us know when The Vegan Passport is up on the site! I'd be interested in buying a copy. It sounds really helpful :)
I bought Being Vegan, when I first went vegan. I love that book. I also ended up buying a few other books by Joanne Stepaniak-The Uncheese Cookbook, and The Vegan Deli. I love the introductions in her books-you can tell she really researches everything very thoroughly. -
