This may include the time for sleeping and waking, rituals (typically 5 or 6 am), visiting the gender-separated communal baths, taking dinner, and an evening curfew. Some temples lock their doors during the night.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Do not disrupt the calm and quiet atmosphere<\/strong> with loud talking, excessive laughter, or by playing music.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Respect the privacy of others<\/strong>. Always ask before taking photographs or videos.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span id=\"Buddhist_food_and_rituals\">Buddhist food and rituals<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Two aspects of monastic life attract most visitors. One is the food. No menu will be provided from which to choose. <strong>One set dinner is served to all guests<\/strong>. Depending on the temple, it will be <strong>vegetarian or vegan in nature<\/strong>. Tofu, tempura, and \u201cdevil\u2019s jelly\u201d are common fare.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12939\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12939\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-12939 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jrailpass.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/shojin-ryori-menu.jpg\" alt=\"Shojin Ryori food\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jrailpass.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/shojin-ryori-menu.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.jrailpass.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/shojin-ryori-menu-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.jrailpass.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/shojin-ryori-menu-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12939\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Shojin ryori, the special diet of Buddhist monks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Buddhist monks follow a <strong>special diet called <em>shojin ryori<\/em><\/strong>, which literally means \u201cfood of devotion.\u201d It is based on one of Buddhism\u2019s fundamental principles, that its adherents <strong>must not \u201ctake life\u201d or kill living things<\/strong>.
