The Animal Protection Documentary

Compassion is a central theme in Buddhist culture and extends not just to humans but to animals as well.

This documentary is inspired by the animal activist work of Venerable Hongyi (1880–1942) who actively promoted compassion to all beings. His ideas are preserved in the “Animal Protection” volumes published in his memory.

Many of the issues he raised are still relevant to this day and are issues that many animal rescuers can easily identified with.

We explore how monasteries and Dharma inspired organisations and individuals rescue, protect, and care for cats, dogs, rabbits and even turtles and terrapins.

More importantly, the compassion for all being also extend to lifestyle choices to create as little suffering for animals as possible.

Come watch and be inspired. Come watch and find out how we can collective care, protect and love animals as our fellow beings.
