Compassionate care for this life and all future lives

Where there is a mind, there are feelings such as pain, pleasure, and joy. No sentient being wants pain; instead all want happiness.

 

Since we all share these feelings at some basic level, we as rational human beings have an obligation to contribute in whatever way we can to the happiness of other species and try our best to relieve their fears and sufferings.

~ His Holiness XIV Dalai Lama
