If a food is non-plant than it is from animals. Therefore if priests do not eat meat they only eat plant based protein.

If someone reachs Nirvana in the buddhist belief and becomes free from rebirth what happens to the energy if the person can't be reborn.

Why do Buddhists shave their heads? Rather than being a sign of humility, is this not MORE image-conscious, because of the effort required?

If everyone reached enlightenment and were no longer reborn like in the buddhist faith wouldn't the world cease to exist

Fish? Insects?
by Koz - Passion Perseverance Patience on August 2nd, 2007
Fish and insects are animals. Buddahist priests do not eat any animals.

Buddhist Priests do not take the lives of living beings. In Japan they have special food which mimics animal protein called "Shojin Ryouri". Made exclusively from plant material, the food emulates the shape and taste of food prepared with fish and other proteins. I have sampled such foods and great effort is made in the presentation to emulate meat containing foods. Visually, they are very impressive. Taste wise, requires understanding.
