This month we extended our love not only to human beings but also to a group of abandoned animals. Due to the Swine flu, we postponed this month’s Live to Love activity to 28th June, 2009 and we were happy to offer volunteering work to support the Society for Abandoned Animals (SAA).
SAA’s slogan is “Love Animal, Respect Life, No Killing or Abandoning” which is in line with one of our Live to Love objectives. As one of the biggest animal sanctuaries in Hong Kong, SAA is a local charitable organization providing shelter and care for approximately 300 abandoned animals. Despite the bad weather with heavy rain, we were determined to provide some basic care to cats, goats and pigs, helping to feed and groom them. In addition, we also assisted the organization with some clerical work, accompanied by some lovely dogs around us.

Our Live to Love activity was held on Sunday June 21st. We went for the fifth time to Keramour, a house for elderly dependant close to Drukpa Plouray, where we go every two month.
For the first time, we went out with the residents as the weather was very beautiful that afternoon. Some did not want to go out so a few of us stayed in to play and talk with them. It seemed to us that they were quite tired and spaced out because of all the drugs.

A vegetarian dog???
The animalhome where we were working every third sunday got a very lovely dog from a place in France where he was supposed to be killed, noone knows why.
Since I took him out for several walks, I felt very much connected with him, so that I nearly decided to take him. Also tara is very fond of him, after she has seen him yesterday.
I am very much interested since then, how to feed dogs in a vegetarian way and I have read many reports, also scientific ones with very good experiences.
Now I try to get more information, there are by the way many heath food companies in Germany which produce vegetrarian dog food already. Thanks to the idea of Hongkong, may be we can extend that vegetarian campaign to dogs and cats. ( We have one animalhome which is feeding their animal only veg.!)

Since the launch of this idea in mid March, it is very encouraging for us to see that the vegetarian days are on the rise every month. In May, there were 649 vegetarian days resulting from 35 participants. And as of date, there is already a recorded total of 1138 vegetarian days.
With an aim to facilitate and encourage participation in this small campaign, we have created a special column titled ‘Proud to be a vegetarian’ in our recently revamped website www.drukpa-hk.org and designed a very simple form for those who would like to submit their record on a monthly basis via http://www.drukpa-hk.org/proud-to-be-a-vegetarian at end of each month. You can also notify us via e-mail at vegetarian@drukpa-hk.org, stating your name/no. of vegetarian days and month.
We look forward to your continued participation in this meaningful cause. Please feel free to spread this good deed by circulating this information to your list of contacts where appropriate.

Our Live to Love activity was held on Sunday May 24th. We postponed it of one week, as we had the visit of Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo at Drukpa Plouray on the third Sunday of May.
We had proposed our help to a society for animals called SPA (society for the prevention of cruelty to animals) and for the first time, we went to walk dogs for them. Those societies, very well known in France, welcome abandoned animals, those which cannot be kept by their owner, and also try to get animals which are very badly treated by their owner ; they then try to find them a new family. We had contacted that society which kindly accepted our help

In Nice (France), the sangha found an area where there is a fish farm. We bought 7 trouts as we were not equiped for more. As the fishes were brought home, they were kept in the bathtub. We then put them into buckets and carried them to the river. As we were carrying them, we kept changing the water in the buckets so that the fishes have enough oxygen to breathe. When we finally reached the spot, we recited the mantras while releasing all the fishes. They were so happy to be in their natural environment and were just playing in the water stream. We felt how fulfilling it was for us to contribute in life release with the Live to Love spirit. We also felt that we could do more and more fish release in the coming weeks along with other Live to Love activities. We then practised Chenrezi and finished the journey sharing our food and drinks.nice
Hello from Hamburg and many many thanks for the manifold and moving inspirations which are to find in all the latest reports on the Live to Love website.
Animated through the request of His Holiness and encouraged through the examples from Hong Kong, Plouray and Rennes, we have decided to turn towards the animals who effect so much good IN the earth.
