May all be happy,
May all be without disease
May all creatures have well being
And non be in misery of any sort
May peace and peace and peace be everywhere
To live with humility, understanding that all beings are precious and are to be respected.
To understand that the spark of the Divine is in everything, including animals, is a spiritual and philosophical path that the Philosophy School has adopted with guidance from Eastern traditions.
One of those practices is Ahimsa (Non-Violence) - acting from a compassionate awareness for life, the well-being of all sentient creatures and our planet Earth.
Sir Isaac Newton, Mahatma Gandhi, and Albert Schweitzer are just a few examples of great philosophers, scientists, humanitarians, and world leaders who inspired others to adopt a path of nonviolence towards all creation.
Albert Einstein, the great physicist, said, “Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.”
“Animals are my friends...and I don't eat my friends.”― George Bernard Shaw
