Article Edits on Buddhist Cuisine Article
I made two changes in the introduction paragraph of the Buddhist Cuisine article.

First, I want to clarify and emphasize the view of Buddhists toward food, how they perceive even a tedious normal activity such as cooking as a way for their spiritual practice. Next, I want to provide the view that the product, food, that they get from cooking, is just simply the nourishment that their body need to work and meditate. This reflects the Middle Path ideal in Buddhism that they don't starve themselves to meditate, to practice mindfulness, to chant, or to share the Buddhist teachings, but they also don't devote themselves entirely into cooking and eating. They simply need nutrients, nourishment for their body to function the best while they work hard and meditate, and while cooking and eating, they could also consider it as the act of practice mindfulness. This explains the "Simple and Natural" following paragraph in the article. ChauTrang (talk) 21:16, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

Peer Review
Hi! I have reviewed your contributions and enjoyed reading your subject. Your additions are very solid. Only suggestion I would have is for your sentence on shōjin ryōri that you potentially reword it so it isn’t stating its association with the temple twice back to back. Or you could potentially reword both sentences and add the fact it’s a temple food in replace of ‘served at many temples’. Something along those lines or similar would help improve conciseness. Also, your citations link to a book that may not seem relevant to your article, but I may be mistaken. Give that a look and make sure that was what you intended to link because your sentence seems similar to something on saveur.com and should link it accordingly (if so or capable) to avoid any unintentional plagiarism. Otherwise really great contributions that build off the topic and provide for information. JasminBlanco (talk) 23:24, 17 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Thank you for pointing out my wrong reference. I used the automatic citation and I didn't realize that it linked to the wrong one. Also I rewrite the two sentences to give it a better flow and clarity. ChauTrang (talk) 10:40, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
