Right after the end of the rains retreat period, the Dhammagiri monks had been invited to visit the iconic Australia Zoo.
Ajahn Dhammasiha uses the occasion to share reflections on Dhamma teachings about animals. Of all the major religions, Buddhism has the clearest and most impactful teachings about showing compassion and loving kindness to animals.
For example, the first precept to abstain from killing refers to animals just as to humans. As a follower of the Buddha, we should never intentionally kill even an ant of mozzie.
Ajahn also shares stories of animal encounters between the Buddha & famous monks, and animals like elephants and tigers. You can see some photos of our encounters with koalas, tigers, giraffes and echidnas here:
