Veganism, which is a committed effort to live the ideals of mercy and kindness to others, is indispensable to all spiritual paths, because it emerges from and deepens the understanding that all beings are completely interconnected and interdependent.

It is an inclusive movement that advocates a plant-based diet because it includes all sentient creatures within its sphere of concern.

The towering spiritual geniuses who have blessed this earth have typically been vegan but have been little concerned whether their foods were cooked or not.
