"In every country in the world, killing human beings is condemned. The Buddhist precept of non-killing extends even further, to include all living beings."

Previous Quote

Whenever I visit a market and see the chickens crowded together in tiny cages that give them no room to move around and spread their wings and the fish slowly drowning in the air, my heart goes out to them. People have to learn to think about animals in a different way, as sentient beings who love life and fear death. I urge everyone who can to adopt a compassionate vegetarian diet.
