As
we send our prayers and compassion to all those who have been
traumatized and those who have lost loved ones in the Paris attacks, we
remember that all violence is connected. As the merciless war on
animals continues, so will violence against human beings. As
Isaac Bashevis Singer (whose birthday is November 21) famously said:
“As long as people will shed the blood of innocent creatures there can
be no peace, no liberty, no harmony between people. Slaughter and
justice cannot dwell together.”
May all of us bless the billions of
sentient beings
in all farms who will never feel the sun on their backs
and all those who may not live in cages but who are at the mercy of
people who steal their eggs, milk, and finally their lives..
And may we bless those who will never feel the grass under
their feet or the warmth of their mothers.
May those who imprison them and who profit from their death
awake in perfect compassion and equanimity.
May the billions awaiting death not be filled with fear.
At the time of death, may their minds dwell in the blissful
clear light and may they achieve perfect Enlightenment.
May those who crave the flesh of precious sentient beings never desire
it again.
May those who turn a blind eye to the suffering of non-human sentient
beings finally see.
May we see that their suffering is directly linked to our own.
And may we do whatever we can to end it.
May all living beings be free of delusion, ignorance, hatred and greed.
May we never enslave our fellow sentient beings again.
May we achieve perfect equanimity, free of aversion, hatred, greed and
ignorance.
In short, may all sentient beings, human and non-human,
achieve perfect Enlightenment immediately.
May we never give up until all are free.
For as long as space endures, and as long as living beings remain,
until then, may I too abide to dispel the misery of the world.
May all go vegan for all people and for all sentient beings and the
earth.
As always, with tears of gratitude, I send my thanks to each of you,
dear Prayer Circle members, for joining this circle of compassion and
shining the Light of Truth for all to see, so that one day soon, all
beings will live in peace together.
May compassion and love reign over all the earth for all beings
everywhere.
Thank you all for your devotion to truth, love, liberation and peace
for all beings.
With Love, peace, and gratitude from Judy Carman, and greetings from
Will, Madeleine, Tara and the Circle of Compassion team
