Sentient Beings Quotes

Technology is the means by which we have decommissioned natural selection and are seizing control. We are no longer to be victims of some blind evolutionary process where sentient beings are massacred by entropy Picture Quote #1

Just as we reject racism, sexism, ageism, and heterosexism, we reject speciesism. The species of a sentient being is no more reason to deny the protection of this basic right than race, sex, age, or sexual orientation is a reason to deny membership in the human moral community to other humans Picture Quote #1

I became a vegetarian after realizing that animals feel afraid, cold, hungry and unhappy like we do. I feel very deeply about vegetarianism and the animal kingdom. It was my dog Boycott who led me to question the right of humans to eat other sentient beings Picture Quote #1

Being vegan is not just a matter of being ‘kind’ to animals. First and foremost, it is a matter of being just and observing our moral obligation to not treat other sentient beings as things Picture Quote #1

Refraining from all evil, not clinging to birth and death, working in deep compassion for all sentient beings, respecting those over you and pitying those below you, without any detesting or desiring, worrying or lamentation - this is what is called Buddha. Do not search beyond it Picture Quote #1

We’re cognizant, curious beings, capable of philosophical thought, nuclear physics, repeating Nerf weapons, global consciousness, Glade air fresheners, and sentient automobiles. But we’re assholes first Picture Quote #1

He who pretends to look on death without fear lies. All men are afraid of dying, this is the great law of sentient beings, without which the entire human species would soon be destroyed Picture Quote #1

Ethics arises in the recognition of our obligation to care for others as beings, like us, exposed to mortality - that is, beings who need our help. Buddhism, not wrongly, extends this to ‘all sentient beings’ Picture Quote #1

For a long time, I felt instinctively irritated - sometimes repelled - by scientific friends’ automatic use of the word ‘mechanism’ for automatic bodily processes. A machine was man-made; it was not a sentient being; a man was not a machine Picture Quote #1

All sentient beings - all holons in fact - contain Buddha-nature - contain depth, consciousness, intrinsic value, Spirit - and thus we are all members of the council of all beings... And the ultimate objective truth is that all beings are perfect manifestations of Spirit or Emptiness Picture Quote #1

May all sentient beings be happy and free of suffering Picture Quote #1

If you want to help sentient beings, you have to get your hands dirty Picture Quote #1

The misery we inflict on sentient beings slackens our human evolution Picture Quote #1

We should be able to refuse to live if the price of living be the torture of sentient beings Picture Quote #1

There is but one honest limit to the rights of a sentient being; it is where they touch the rights of another sentient being Picture Quote #1

A child raised on a desert island, alone, without social interaction, without language, and thus lacking empathy, is still a sentient being Picture Quote #1

As human beings, we are the genetic elite, the sentient, contemplating and innovating sum of countless genetic accidents and transcription errors Picture Quote #1

Suffering of sentient beings is like decay; it fertilizes the growth of their souls Picture Quote #1

... we and all sentient beings fundamentally have the Buddha nature as our innermost essence Picture Quote #1

There is a simple way to become buddha: When you refrain from unwholesome actions, are not attached to birth and death, and are compassionate toward all sentient beings, respectful to seniors and kind to juniors, not excluding or desiring anything, with no designing thoughts or worries, you will be called a buddha. Do not seek anything else Picture Quote #1

We are all given a gift of existence and of being sentient beings, and I think true happiness lies in love and compassion Picture Quote #1

Veganism is about nonviolence: nonviolence to other sentient beings; nonviolence to yourself; nonviolence to the earth Picture Quote #1

There is no moral distinction between fur and other materials made from animals, such as leather, which also is the result of the suffering and death of sentient beings Picture Quote #1

Let’s not forget that what is looking out of your eyes and hearing with your ears right now is already Spirit. And that Spirit, that I AMness, is always present in all sentient beings Picture Quote #1

Even if a bodhisattva investigates the highest wisdom, one is not a proper bodhisattva unless one applies skillful means for the benefit of other sentient beings Picture Quote #1

Unceasing change turns the wheel of life, and so reality is shown in all it’s many forms. Dwell peacefully as change itself liberates all suffering sentient beings and brings them great joy Picture Quote #1

Should we find a second form of life right here on our doorstep, we could be confident that life is a truly cosmic phenomenon. If so, there may well be sentient beings somewhere in the galaxy wondering, as do we, if they are not alone in the universe Picture Quote #1

If all sentient beings in the universe disappeared, there would remain a sense in which mathematical objects and theorems would continue to exist even though there would be no one around to write or talk about them. Huge prime numbers would continue to be prime, even if no one had proved them prime Picture Quote #1

I believe we are the only sentient beings in the universe, and I believe that 500 years from now, we will still be the only sentient beings around Picture Quote #1

When? At this time, while you have all the opportunities, if you do not do your best to achieve the pure, stainless path to enlightenment when will you do it? If you don’t meditate, don’t practise the graduated path to enlightenment, especially bodhicitta, in this life, then when? When will you practise? When will you have this realization? If, in this life, you don’t achieve renunciation, bodhicitta and sunyata, as well as the two stages of tantra, when will you? When will you have these attainments? When will you become enlightened? When will you perform perfect work for sentient beings? Picture Quote #1
