Description
Kindness for All Creatures by Sarah C. Beasley and Anam Thupten is a heartfelt guide to compassionate care for animals from a Buddhist perspective, offering practical advice for mindfully raising pets and honouring animals.
Are you doing all you can for the well-being of your pet? Many pet guardians grapple with questions about adopting versus buying, the best ways to raise and train animals, and how to approach the stages of aging, sickness, and death. Structured around the Six Perfections of Mahayana Buddhism, this book provides answers and offers heartfelt guidance on how to apply mindfulness and spirituality to our relationships with animals.
Beyond being a practical resource, Kindness for All Creatures serves as a form of advocacy, encouraging readers to think and feel more deeply and naturally about caring for the creatures—both pets and wildlife—that we share our world with.
