hello

can anyone please help us

the slaughterhouse doors are opening

please hurry

*************

unless you are vegan,

you “will” be contributing to the death, suffering and exploitation of those in the animal realm

think on this my friends

then take action

*****

by combining dharma practice with a vegan lifestyle

you convert compassion from just a word or concept, to meaningful action

do not procrastinate

animals are suffering and dying as you read this!

*****

veganism is buddha nature in action

“oh my dharma friends

have sympathy for al those in the animal realm

refrain from contributing to their suffering

work towards their liberation

free them from pain”

*****

veganism does save lives

“how many more lives would be taken

how much more suffering there would be

how much more exploitation there would be

oh my dharma practitioners

just think how many more animals, birds, fish, insects would suffer

if we were not practicing a vegan lifestyle” 

*****

be a dharma warrior, a true bodhisattva

“what use all the chanting

what use all the statues

what use all the candles

what use all the incense

what use all the talk

if you are not practicing non violence

oh my friend

ask yourself

are all your pujas just for show

sadhu’s daily reflection for animals

“ah

i meditate on all the animals in the universe

the tiniest insect to the largest mammal

those alive now

those to be born

those that have passed away

may they all be free from suffering

may they all find peace”

*****

to all my friends in the animal realm

emaho

“Ah, all my dear friends in the animal realm

every day i hear your cries, every day i feel your pain,

please do not be angry or resentful,

let thoughts of your treatment at the hands of humans go,

remain free from attachment or aversion.

if you can remain calm and still

when you leave this realm,

you will not return to this world of pain,

but will dwell in the buddha mind

when you arrive,

wait for me, for i will join you soon”

lama shri sadhu dharmavira: 1-1-16

pet bereavement

the art of letting go

*

“passing from this life to the next

the cat feels great sadness at leaving its human companion

 the human feels equal sadness at the passing of his purring friend

what joy they both experience when the reality dawns on them

they were never apart in this life

they will never be apart in death

they were always one, never two

they are both pure consciousness

no beginning, no end

no life, no death”

lama shri sadhu dharmavira: 8-5-18
