Are Buddhists vegetarians?
Some are and some aren’t. We all make our own decisions as lay people. Ordained monks (male or female) have to follow the rules of their particular traditions. Zen monks are veggies. Theravada monks beg for their food and eat whatever they are given. Tibetan Tibetan monks (i.e. ethnic Tibetan monks) tend to eat meat because their climate is too harsh to grow a variety of vegetables.
