VEGI-LICIOUS: THE KARMA OF BEING VEGETARIAN
11am-5pm Saturday 15th &
12.30pm-5pm Sunday 16th May
Buddha's Day Miele Australia Kitchen, River Terrace

Some Buddhists choose to become vegetarian out of respect for all life and the First Buddhist precept of non-violence and killing. Becoming a vegetarian also allows Buddhists to cultivate compassion.
Vegetarianism is also consistent with the Buddhist concepts of interrelatedness and rebirth.
Today, vegetarian cuisine is not an endless menu of tofu burgers, lentil curries, salads and mung beans.
Buddha’s Light International Association of Victoria is proud announce the return of the popular Vegi-licious: The Karma of Being Vegetarian, vegetarian cooking demonstrations with chefs and cooks from some of Melbourne’s finest establishments.
