Absolutely, dietary practices can vary a lot between different monastic orders and religions. Some monks are strict vegetarians, while others might fast or have specific rules about when and what they eat. These practices often reflect their spiritual beliefs, aiming for purity, discipline, or simplicity. It’s fascinating how food can be so intertwined with spiritual life!
