Promoting the Compassionate Diet at the Public Prosecutor's Office
By Andong News Group (Originally in Korea)

[Andong]On November 15, Golden Year 4 (2007), a brother initiate who is a lawyer gave a presentation to the staff working at the Andong Public Prosecutor's Office on the importance of keeping the vegetarian diet. After the talk, the fellow initiates provided a scrumptious buffet with about 10 different kinds of vegetarian dishes containing soy meat substitutes. A traditional Korean soup, samgyetang, cooked with soy bean protein, gingseng and glutinous rice was everyone's favorite. People who tasted the food liked the soy chicken, steak, ham, etc. They commented that the vegetarian food was very delicious and had a lot of variety. They said if they knew the vegetarian diet was like this, they could be vegetarian. Two people actually mentioned that they would try to become vegetarian from then on. A person even asked to take some food home to share with her children.

The Andong Center initiates are grateful to have this chance to contribute to the upliftment of the planet and grow spiritually as well.
