Krig måste stoppas för krig utsläcker människoliv, ”the precious human life. Alla människor är lika dyrbara, lika värdefulla.
”The Buddha said that it is more difficult for a being to obtain human birth than it would be for a turtle coming up from the depths of the ocean to put its head by chance through the opening of a wooden yoke tossed around by huge waves on the surface”.
(Patrul Rinpoche, 1998:33)
Och Shantideva säger:
”The Buddha declared that like a turtle that perchance can place
Its head within a yoke adrift upon a shoreless sea,
This human birth is difficult to find”.
(Patrul Rinpoche, 1998:34)
