美國的素食人口在短短兩年內翻了一倍。如果以這個速度繼續發展下去,美國在2015將有10%的人口吃素、2019有40%、2021有80%!這意味著,我們將結束對數十億養殖動物的剝削和苦難。
U.S. Vegan Population doubles in only two years. If this rate continues, vegans will be 10% of the U.S. population in 2015, 40% in 2019, and 80% in 2021! This would mean an end to the exploitation and suffering of billions of farmed animals.
地球大到足夠容納所有的生命,但是人類的胸襟卻沒大到願意分享。
The earth is large enough for all to share, but mankind’s heart is not large enough to care.
警告:北非能為全世界創造出足夠使用的太陽能,但是,有錢人不希望你知道這回事。因為汽油、煤和鈾是他們最有利可圖的市場。
Warning: North African create enough free energy for the entire world, thanks to solar energy…but rich people don’t want you to know that because petrol, coal and uranium are their most profitable markets.
這是我簡單的信仰,無須寺廟、無須複雜的理念。我的大腦、我的心就是我的寺廟。我的理念就是慈悲。
This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.
找到一個可以讓你知道這三件事的人:一、家不是一個地方,而是一種感覺。二、時間不是用小時衡量的,而是用分鐘。三、心跳不是用聽的,而是用感受和共享。Find someone who makes you realize three things: one, that home is not a place, but a feeling. Two, that time is not measured by a clock, but by moments. And three, that heartbeats are not heard, but felt and shared.
不快樂的首要原因從來不是處境而是念頭。所以,要警覺自己當下在想什麼。
The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation, but thoughts about it. Be aware of the thoughts you are thinking.
令人心碎。飽受蹂躪的母羊眼睜睜地看著一週大的嬰兒被拖去屠宰而無力阻止。如果你的孩子也被這樣對待,你做何感想?這個嬰兒一定萬分恐懼。這種事情將一次又一次地發生直到該隻母羊無法生育為止,最終母羊也會被屠宰,因為牠沒有價值了。請讓牠們活著並且幫助終止這個苦難。吃素吧。
Heartbreaking! Week old babies dragged away to be slaughtered as their devastated mother watches powerless to stop him. Can you imagine how it would feel to have your children taken away like this? How extremely terrified the babies must be? This will happen time and time again until she is unable to give birth when she herself will be slaughtered as she is worthless. Please let them live and help end this. Go Vegetarian!
那些你不願花精神留意的人事物根本不存在,至少是對你而言。
The things that you don’t attend to in a sense don’t exist, at least for you.
生活中,沒有任何事物比你正在注意的那件事還重要,因為你正在注意它呀。
Nothing in life is as important as you think it is while you are thinking about it.
花時間去留意跟珍惜生命中美好的人事物,因為你注意的人事物,正創造出你自己的世界。
Take time to pay attention to and appreciate the good things in life. Because you create your world with what you pay attention to.
