Sentient Beings Quotes

Do not injure, abuse, oppress, enslave, insult, torment, torture, or kill any creature or living being.

Mahavira

We do not have to be ashamed of what we are. As sentient beings we have wonderful backgrounds. These backgrounds may not be particularly enlightened or peaceful or intelligent. Nevertheless, we have soil good enough to cultivate; we can plant anything in it.
