Try your best not to get distracted from your goal. Let everything you do be your way of getting closer to your enlightenment; never take a vacation from spiritual practice.

The raising of animals for food and all that it entails is the single most destructive force impacting our planet's fragile ecosystems. Our planet simply cannot sustain the greed of billions of human beings who are eating other animals.

Everything we do should contribute to happiness.

Vegan food is not only good for you, the animals, and the planet, but cooking vegan can be simple, easy, and fun.

What you do to benefit the lives of others will ultimately also benefit you.

Because we lack sharp claws, aren't very fast on our feet, and aren't exactly endowed with lightning reflexes, it would be very difficult if not impossible for us to run down an animal, catch it with our bare hands, and tear through its fur and skin in order to eat it. Biologically, we are designed to be frugivorous herbivores eating mainly fruits, seeds, roots, and leaves.

If we ourselves want to be free and happy then by enslaving and harming animals we will not be able to achieve our goal.
