A Bodhisattva helps suffering beings without hesitation because he has the clarity, the means and the open heart.
Explore the joy and challenges of becoming a vegan. There will be a talk and discussion to clarify our mind, a session of meditation to coax our heart, a poetry event to awaken our imagination and delicious vegan food, the means to alleviate the suffering of sentient beings.
