He carefully examines and exposes many of the myths about Buddha, Mohammed and Jesus Christ which have long been used to justify meat-eating on religious grounds. Diet for Transcendence clearly shows that religious compassion was meant to be all-encompassing, directed toward animals as it is toward humans.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe ideas in this book did not originate with the author. Rather, they are the same truths stressed by spiritual teachers throughout history. Religion has always taught, in essence, that reverence for all life is a high spiritual ideal, and that universal brotherhood is the summit of genuine spirituality. This little volume should go a long way toward establishing these goals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eREVIEWS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWill help insure that the religious community is fully aroused from its dogmatic slumber, If animals could talk, they would thank Steven Rosen.\u003cbr\u003e-Tom Regan, author, The Case for Animal Rights\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMakes it clear that all religions teach compassion and that not eating meat is much more than just a healthy way to eat.
