The creatures that inhabit this earth

-- be they human being or animals –

are here to contribute, each in its own

particular way, to the beauty and

prosperity of the world. Many creatures

have toiled singly or jointly to make our

lives comfortable. The food we eat, the

clothes we wear, have not just dropped

from the sky. Many creatures have

laboured to produce them that is why

we should be grateful to all our fellow

creatures. Compassion and loving

kindness are the hallmarks of

achievement and happiness.

在地球上居住的生物

-- 人類或動物 –

都為了奉獻一己而存在,

每個生物都以它獨特的方式,

來成就世界的美麗與豐足.

許多動物各自或合力的辛勞付出,

讓我們生活舒適. 我們所吃的食物,

所穿的衣服, 都不是從天上掉下來的.

許多動物付出勞力來生產這些東西,

而這也是為什麼我們應該對

這些動物夥伴們心存感激.

慈悲心和憐惜疼愛是成就與快樂的標示.
