Vegan Travel in Asia | Buddhist Temples & Plant-Based Alms | Andrea Diaz
Description
In today’s episode, we’re exploring the connection between veganism, Buddhism, and travel.
I’m joined by Andrea Diaz, Executive Director of Dharma Voices for Animals — the only international Buddhist animal rights advocacy organization. We talk about how Buddhist teachings on non-harm intersect with plant-based living across Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Vietnam, and how travelers can engage with these traditions through temple stays, mindful meals, and compassionate food experiences.
Andrea also shares her personal journey — from animal rights investigations to discovering meditation and Buddhism — and how it all came together in her work today.
