just learned that in chinese buddhism oysters were traditionally considered vegetarian bc of a myth about someone (a god/dess or a monk, depending on the story) eating them to survive a famine, and in return for saving them oysters were granted enlightenment and their physical forms are irrelevant
It makes sense. Oysters do seem like they know what it takes to live a good life. Simple, unbothered, leaving their environment cleaner than they found it, and of course turning the mundane into something beautiful.
