5 Quotes on Life Liberation

Disciples of the Buddha liberate life out of loving-kindness, thinking "All males are my fathers. All females are my mothers." From life to life, there is no one I was not born from. Because beings from the six realms are my parents, those who kill and eat them kill and eat my parents, and kill my own body...

If one sees someone killing animals, one should skillfully save and protect them, and relieve them of suffering and danger."
