Julen begynder så småt at nærme sig, med alt hvad den indebærer. For mange er netop julemåltidet centralt for fejringerne, men fra et dyreetisk (og buddhistisk) perspektiv, er det værd at overveje hvad prisen er for det vi sætter i tænderne juleaften. For den danske juleand er ganske rigtigt et symbol på tradition, samvær og fest, men den er også et eksempel på en industri, hvor den enkelte and lever et miserabelt liv. Kan traditioner retfærdiggøre lidelse, eller er det tid til at gentænke, hvordan vi fejrer jul?

Som baggrund for viden og refleksion omkring dette, anbefaler vi bogen 'Tænk på anden', inspireret af filosof og dyrerettighedsaktivist Peter Singer, og hvori Asmund Havsteen-Mikkelsen og Karsten Wind Meyhoff fortæller historien om produktionsforholdene i lande, der leverer ænder til danskernes julefest. De beskriver, hvordan ænderne opdrættes, transporteres og slagtes i den industrielle produktion. Men de fortæller også om anden Rappen, en tillidsfuld, udadvendt og nysgerrig and, der fik et værdigt liv på Ærø. Resultatet er en tankevækkende julepamflet om anden og om prisen for vores festmåltider. Bogen er rigt illustreret og indeholder desuden opskrifter af Mia Sommer til en julemiddag uden and. Og med forord af Peter Singer! Anden vil takke dig 🦆❤️

Lhabab Duchen on November 11 celebrates Guru Shakyamuni Buddha’s return to Earth from the God Realm of the Thirty-Three after teaching Dharma for three months to the gods, including his mother, Mayadevi, who had died a week after Buddha’s birth and been reborn there. As a merit multiplying day, the karmic results of actions done on this day are multiplied 100 million times.

Thanks to all who participated in the 16 Guidelines session on Humility last Tuesday! As promised to participants we're sharing the ending reflection and deditation of the session:

"Let’s take a moment to try to think of ways we could bring humility into daily life throughout the coming week.

Next time we will meditate on patience. We can dedicate the positive energy and increased understanding from this session with the following refl ection: May the quality of humility grow in our hearts, may we walk through life with curiosity, kindness, and the wisdom to learn from all beings and experiences."

Looking forward to the coming 16 Guidelines session on Patience on Tuesday 16th September:
