INTRODUCTION
Albert Einstein said,
"Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet." "Vegetarian food leaves a deep impression on our nature. If the whole world adopts vegetarianism, it can change the destiny of humankind." "If a man aspires towards a righteous life, his first act of abstinence is from injury to animals." "I think the changes and purifying effects that a vegetarian diet have on a human being's disposition are quite beneficial to mankind."
This has been the common advice of many important figures and sages throughout history! The Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association is conducting a world-wide campaign entitled "Alternative Living" to educate all ages on the benefits of living a healthier lifestyle through vegetarianism.
This recipe book has been lovingly compiled by members of The Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association in Victoria, British Columbia, for the purpose of providing you with a taste of their favourite vegan recipes.
Eating a vegetarian diet allows us to "tread more lightly on the planet". In addition to taking only what we need and reducing excess, we feel better when we know that a living being doesn't have to die each time we eat a meal.
The spiritual arguments against eating meat are convincing for some people, but there are other compelling reasons for being a vegetarian. All of them are rooted in common sense. They have to do with issues of personal health and nutrition, ecology and the environment, ethics, animal suffering, and world hunger.
We hope you will enjoy these culinary delights as much as we have enjoyed creating them.
