‘In the end, to be mindful is to profoundly accept, with love, all that lives, humans and non humans alike. And out of this love comes a deep commitment to help and not to harm. Because life wants to protect and preserve itself, when your mindfulness practice shows you that you are not only yourself and your family and your group, but you are life itself, then naturally you are benevolent. You want to be of service. And this is the basis of Buddhist ethics. It is awakening itself.’ (from Lion’s Roar)
