Uncover the complex interplay between Buddhist ethics and daily life in Tibet.

Essential reading for scholars of Tibetan religion, history, and culture, as well as those interested in global food history, this book offers a novel perspective on the spiritual and social dimensions of dietary choices in Tibet.
