Buddhist Prayer for Animal Liberation
BackPrayer for Liberation of Brother and Sister Animals.
May all sentient beings in the animal realm
subject to unbearable pain in labs throughout the world
be free from suffering.
May alternatives to animal experimentation and testing
be used immediately.
May Bodhicitta fill the hearts of those who imprison them.
May all sentient beings from the animal realm
who suffer endless days, months, years
locked in tiny cages unable to move, be filled with peace and calm.
May the many billions waiting in slaughterhouse lines be free of fear.
May the hearts of those who work in abattoirs
be filled with Bodhicitta so the very thought of harm is purified.
May they never kill again and may the slaughterhouse lines become immediately empty.
May no animal be afraid or depressed.
May their bodies be free of injuries, disease and illness.
May those who need homes, or who have been driven from them
find shelter, plentiful food & water.
May there be liberation for those
tortured for fur, entertainment or who are hunted.
May those who believe they are superior to our brother & sister animals
develop perfect equanimity.
And may they realise in their hearts
that all sentient beings possess Buddha nature
And they are not ours to kill or exploit.
May the many billions of land and sea dwelling sentient beings
who are abused, exploited and killed due to greed, hatred and ignorance
be free of suffering
May they experience complete and perfect enlightenment,
through the virtue of my efforts and prayers.
May I be a voice for the voiceless.
In short, may all human and non-human sentient beings
live together in harmony, peace and equanimity
and achieve perfect Enlightenment quickly.

The message is a really good one. It's hard to look at this and not want to simply pummel the people who do these things to animals, but that would simply perpetuate the violence. The pacifist sentiments are the best ones for the situation.

They're have 40,000 animals at Cal Berkeley, waiting and dieing and suffering in the name of science. It's so sad.

Intentionalsound - it's amazing how many of us vegans are non-religious/atheists, yet people act like we're evil for being non-religious.
I'm going to start saying that I belong to the Non-violence and Animal Liberation Congregation. When they ask what that means, I'll tell them that we're vegans who treat animals as we would like to be treated, and who educate others to do the same. That's the best religion I can think of!

Your video is strong without music. I just watched it in silence and I doubt that a soundtrack of any kind would make it more powerful than it is. Love to you.

I think it time te consume some human flesh. Let's treat human like animals. Let's put them in a room of 2x2 meters, let's castrate them and cut their fingers of and pull their teeth.

Please control the bad feelings. Instead, please lookout for and reachout to those rare few who care. Most humans aren't responsible, and are just as much the victims of lack of knowledge. Please teach compassion, with compassion.
