Kindness for All Creatures

"Sarah Beasley reminds us gently but firmly that compassion is the root of the Buddhist path and that it should know no borders. She advocates convincingly that loving-kindness and the practice of the 'Six Perfections' must apply to all sentient beings without exception. Kindness for All Creatures is a much-needed and most welcome call urging us to progress toward coherent ethics and truly compassionate behavior."
--Matthieu Ricard, author of A Plea for the Animals

"Nonhuman animals need all the help they can get in an increasingly human-dominated world. 'Every species has its place' as does each and every individual, and treating other animals better also means treating ourselves better. Kindness for All Creatures is a must-read in an age when countless nonhumans are treated as unfeeling objects rather than sentient and feeling beings."
--Marc Bekoff, author of Unleashing Your Dog

"In her eminently readable book, Beasley offers a broad range of 'entrance points' for enacting compassion toward animals. Readers will come away with exciting ideas about how to act with greater kindness toward animals near and far."
--Jessica Pierce, author of Run, Spot, Run: The Ethics of Keeping Pets
