Animal Protection (husheng) and Ethical Eating Practices in Modern Chinese Buddhism. Tarocco, F. Review of Religion and Chinese Society, 10(1):124–146, 2024.
doi  abstract   bibtex   
This article presents a historical and ethnographic examination of a range of practices connected with the teachings of non-violence and animal protection. I situate Buddhist-inspired vegetarianism in everyday practice rather than referring to clichéd ideas of “identity” and argue that practices connected with ethical eating and the “protection of sentient beings” are useful as a theoretical construct. Conceptualizing vegetarianism as practice can shed light on key aspects of the religious repertoire and the materialities of care that Buddhists can draw from as needed.
