Supreme Master Ching Hai on the Environment: We Have to Save the Planet at All Costs, Part 1 of 2, Aug. 8, 2009

Animals are our brothers and sisters. It’s very important that we know how to live with them harmoniously and respectfully because they are there for some reason. They have something to do with the whole environment. They balance our planetary ecosystem - ecology system, to balance nature. So everything on this planet, including us, is interrelated and help each other to make our lives here comfortable and livable, comfortably. But if we don’t know that, we’re killing ourselves. Everytime we kill a tree, or kill an animal, we are killing a little part of ourselves.
