With all of its emphasis on being one with the world, it’s hard to believe that the Dalai Lama is a carnivore.
In an interview with the 75-year-old monk, the Dalai Lama revealed that he eats meat at a regular basis. See, a common understanding about Buddhism is that meat shouldn’t be consumed since it involved killing a sentient being.
However, the Dalai Lama revealed that it was hard to give up on his carnivorous habit. That said, he eats meat dishes when he travels (that is, if his hosts serves it).
There are no words to decsbire how bodacious this is.
