Christopher Titmuss (vegan) is a senior dharma teacher from Britain. First, he talks about the book “Ten Years and Ten Days,” which chronicles his spiritual journey. “And during those years, I spent three years in a vipassana monastery. And then nine months in a cave in Thailand, and then two years in India traveling as a monk.” “It’s a personal story, but what’s much, much more important than that is this treatment of life. Wisdom contributes to liberating, freeing up our whole being for a rich engagement with life, with ourselves, too.” “In a way, compassion is an outcome of understanding. But compassion in the Buddhist teachings is always the action and the engagement to relieve or work with suffering, wherever it might be. There may not be a direct action, say, with regard to animals directly, but we say to ourselves, ‘I have no more wish to eat animals, to eat birds, or fish.’ So sometimes compassion is the non-doing, in this case, the non-eating of the creatures, and that is also an expression of compassion.”Christopher Titmuss’ book, “The Explicit Buddha,” provides a thorough exposition of the teachings from the Worshipped Shakyamuni (Gautama) Buddha (vegan). “And that’s the karma, which is gathered in impressions, stories, pictures – experiences from the past landing in the present – and this affects our way of relating. So, ending karma is looking at it, being honest.” “Yogis, and the sadhus, and those who live a spiritually nomadic life, Buddhist and Hindus, nearly all are certainly vegetarian. So, what is happening in the West is the spirituality and diet are getting a much closer relationship together.” “So as the 1970s went on, I then became vegetarian. From there, I started just reducing the dairy content. So then I went to a complete plant-based diet, and that was about 16 years ago.”
