However, there is an important principle in Buddhism that "no killing", so when offering food, try to choose vegetarian food or food without animal ingredients to avoid harming life. Babao rice contains glutinous rice, red dates, lotus seeds, longan and other ingredients. These ingredients themselves do not violate Buddhist precepts, so they can be offered to Guanyin Bodhisattva. However, if animal ingredients, such as eggs and milk, are added in the process of making eight-treasure rice, it is not suitable for offering it to Guanyin Bodhisattva.
In short, the food provided to avalokitesvara should be vegetarian or animal-free, to show respect for life and the pursuit of compassion.
