Hello people...all life are precious 🙏🙏💕

[@embraceuncertainty7127]

His Holiness must declare that he does not eat animals or fish. He should go VEGAN as an example to his fellow man of true compassion.

Wegetarianizm to podstawa szczęśliwej egzystencji człowieka na Ziemi. Musimy wszyscy szanować życie tak ludzkie, jak i braci mniejszych. Innej drogi nie ma. Przy odrobinie zaangażowania, wegetariańskie posiłki mogą być wyśmienite. Budują zdrowie ciała i duszy.

This is the 14th Dalai Lama.

[@dennishartmann6838]

I am happy that he so clearly advocates for compassion for animals. Vegan is the way. Consuming dairy, eggs and honey causes just the same suffering and killing.

[@namkhatsogyal]

I only consume eggs coming from my chickens. They live free in my house garden together with my seven cats.

[@dennishartmann6838]

@namkhatsogyal granted, that "your" chickens will have a relatively better life than the ones in industrial farming. But when we are really looking at this through the lense of compassion, where we must ask ourself what is in the best interest of the other, tell me: Did they choose to live with you? What happened to their male brothers? Do they have any say in you taking their eggs? What would they want for themselves? Would you have any interest in them if you could not take something from them? I am not asking these questions to you to make you different from how you are, only you can choose to do that if you see that is better for everyone, even when you need to let go of something that you enjoy.

[@dennishartmann6838]

@@eb9720 oh you seem to have misunderstood my message. It sounds like you think I am saying, all farm animals should be released now. That would of course not be very wise and I wonder why you responded with this. I asked am individual to explore their relationship to animals. Most humans have a choice in what they eat. In other words, they have 100% control over whether they want to hurt animals with their diet or not. It doesn't matter if specific animals have been bred to a point where they can't survive in the wild. And it not our job to stop all animals from dying in the wild, or do you truely worry about each mouse that is eaten by a cat? That is natural and nature stays in balance this way. It sounds like you think we are somehow doing these farm animals a service by breeding, exploiting and killing them. To protect them from the harsh reality of the wild. We are collectively breeding and killing over 60 billion land animals on earth each year. No other action by humans is creating a larger disbalance to ecosystems. If we really cared for all beings as much as we could, wouldn't we leave them alone? Each person that makes this choice to do their best to not cause harm whenever possible will slowly take away the money animal agriculture needs to exist. And then of course, these animals would slowly stop being forced into existence for our pleasure and we won't have to worry about hordes of animals running wild.

[@dennishartmann6838]

@eb9720 I'm afraid you misunderstood my question. The video is about compassion and the Dalai lama mentions that all beings care about their life. They do not want to be harmed, doesn't matter how relatively nice you care for them while you are exploiting and killing them. Following your logic, human slavery is OK as long as you take good care of your slaves. (a logic that of course was used by slavers to justify this system of exploitation). Today we have come to a point where we reject any idea of ownership over another human outright, but it was a long way till we got there. When it comes to this topic it is very hard to truly ask yourself if you have the well being of the animals in your focus, or if you want to get something from them first and then find a way to justify this with dressing the exploitation up in good gestures and positive labels. We are so conditioned that we can't even imagine to just leave these animals alone, to see them with the same respect as we might see an elephant and that is nobody's fault. But we have a choice to question this way of thinking and to consider doing our best to leave these animals alone. I have worked on the friendliest little family farms to find out about if there is a way to take something from animals without harming them. It's not possible. We will always use force and violence to control their reproduction, their freedom, their life time, etc.

Plants are alive for that matter and still are a karma, just not as big and bad of a karma. Not being smart Alec just pointing it out. ❤

[@TRUTHWINSALLWAYS]

Lmao sure my salad cried me a river last night… just like the baby calf slaughtered. What hypocrite. A plant continues to live if you pluck its leaves. If you pluck its seeds after drying it reproduces and it purposely has so many seeds so they can survive the species after wveryone else eats some. If you pluck fruit the tree still survives. And you actually help his spreading. You understand , you hypocrite who cares about the salad feelings?

then what is the solution of the lack of Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D in our body?

[@dbr2802]

Vitamin D can be obtained from things such as the sun, mushrooms & supplements etc. B12 can be obtained from foods such as water lentils, nutritional yeast, fortified foods and supplements.

Meanwhile, he is a meat eater.

[@dbr2802]

I have heard this. Really disappointing if he chooses not to align his actions with is values of compassion, especially given his status.

[@tथाट-m4s]

No, he is not.
