Enlightenment for the dear Animals

108 Yaks - Australian Premiere

This new documentary, “108 Yaks: a Journey of Love and Freedom”, will have its Australian premiere at Vajrayana Institute in Sydney on Saturday, 18th August. It will be preceded by a short slide show and update about Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s Animal Liberation Sanctuary in Nepal, by the project coordinators Tania Duratovic and Phil Hunt.

"My whole point of doing this animal liberation is to dedicate for Rinpoche and the gurus’ long lives. But also it is to promote animal liberation, to tell people what animal liberation is and how it should be done..."

Non-Profit Organisation  Enlightenment for the Dear Animals is a project aimed at helping people to benefit animals. As fellow sentient beings, animals are not just creatures to whom we should do no harm, they are beings who also have the potential for Enlightenment.

 

Rinpoche on  Live Animal Exports

Rinpoche on live animal exports & being vegetarian

Recently Lama Zopa Rinpoche, Spiritual Director of the FPMT, has called on his students to become vegetarian or eat less meat to help reduce the suffering to animals, including cattle involved in the live export industry (follow this link to read his full account). Every year Australia exports around 4 million live sheep to the Middle East and over half a million cattle to South East Asia. Not only do these sentient creatures suffer on the long journeys on overcrowded ships with many not surviving the trip, but their treatment at their destination is appalling.

Most of the countries these animals are exported to do not have a single law protecting their welfare. As such, most sheep and cattle have their throats cut whilst fully conscious and suffer extended, distressing and painful deaths whilst waiting animals watch in terror.

Enlightenment for the Dear Animals is a project aimed at helping people to benefit animals. As fellow sentient beings, animals are not just creatures to whom we should do no harm, they are beings who also have the potential for Enlightenment.
