Contemplations on Food
All living things. Cows, pigs, chickens, fish, shellfish, and other creatures that move around visibly. Even a single blade of grass, which is hard to see with the naked eye but certainly exists as a life. We harvest these lives to survive and use them as energy for ourselves. It is a natural law of survival of the fittest.
However, it's not just about taking another life. Recognizing the dignity of this life and gratefully receiving it allows us to live more meaningful days.
Our bodies are built upon the lives of many, and our hearts are built upon the sentiments of many more.
Koshin Tamagawa, Head Priest of Shourekiji Temple
