After having a meal of Shōjin Ryōri ('精進料理' - Japanese vegetarian food with no garlic, onions, leeks, chives or shallots), I now understand why it is the only thing you can eat if you are to attain Enlightenment.
"When I cook, I am always amazed at how beautiful the vegetables are... All of the vegetables are full of energy, and they reinvigorate us. I feel Buddha in each plate, and appreciate the vegetables' offerings all the time."
