hi all - this might be a dumb question, so forgive me, but are any of you vegan because of your spiritual beliefs? or, alternatively, i guess a broader and more interesting question might be how do your spiritual beliefs (if any) interact with and inform your veganism?
Yes. For pretty much the exact same reasons as you, although in my case I am a vegetarian as I still eat cheese. It was also my Buddhism that led me down this path, as despite the Buddha not requiring vegetarianism/veganism, I feel that with it being such an easy option in the modern world it is morally and ethically the right thing to do. But, yes I currently still eat cheese, so am not as far down this path as I should be.
