"The eating of meat extinguishes the seed of great compassion."
- The Buddha (circa 563-483 B.C.)
"All beings tremble before violence. All fear death. All love life. See
yourself in others. Then whom can you hurt? What harm can you do?
"As
a mother would risk her life to protect her child, her only child, even
so should one cultivate a limitless heart, with regards to all beings."
~ Budhist teaching Sutta Nipata I, 8
