@tricyclemag: What does mindful eating mean for Buddhists? In a new Dharma Talk, Theravada monk and co-founder of Empty Cloud in the USA and Italy Ayya Soma explores how we can relate to food in a way that aids the mind in letting go of defilement and attaining full enlightenment. "A truly Buddhist approach to food requires moving beyond dietary identity politics and taking full responsibility for our place in the web of life. This means recognizing that every single meal connects us to the health of the soil, to the dignity of the farmer laborers, the lives of the animals, and the stability of our local communities. When we correct our view, our actions will naturally follow." —Ayya Soma Watch the full talk at tricycle.org/dharmatalks
