What does the first precept to refrain from killing living beings mean for our relations with non-human animals? Is generating loving kindness and compassion for all sentient beings relevant to our daily lives? Can we understand animal liberation – especially through refraining from eating meat – as a form of Buddhist practice?
DVA joined for a conversation exploring these questions with Andrea Diaz and Bob Isaacson, of Dharma Voices for Animals (DVA), and BCBS Director of Studies William Edelglass.
