The most powerful bodhisattva - YOU
You don’t need to rely on others to change the world. You can make a big difference. Awakening is not a mind state, it’s more about responding to the world based on reality, not on ideas that been passed down to us (delusion). Seeing through delusion brings joy - to all. This is the way of the Bodhisattva (an awakened being). This is the way of Zen.
Ingrid E. Newkirk
When I read Animal Liberation, I realized that in my heart I believed something far deeper than that. I believed what Dr. Singer advocated—that we needed a radical new approach, a new way of viewing animals. Instead of seeing all the other species on Earth as ours to convert into hamburgers, handbags, living burglar alarms, amusements, test tubes with whiskers, and so on, we need to respect them as fellow beings, as other individuals and families and tribes who have the same basic interests in experiencing joy and love and living without needless pain and harassment as we do.

My primary interest is in defending and protecting marine life in our oceans. It is my deepest passion and it is a fight that I have been involved in all of my life, a fight that I shall never retire from and will continue until the day I die
