Animal Freedom Day
goat friend
Please join the Hartford Karma Thegsum Choling and Tara Shedrup centers in participating in Animal Freedom Day. Be a veggie for a day… or two or three. Alternatively, you can also choose to offer a gift of life and protection through the practice of “Life Release.” Find out more about this Buddhist practice at Chodron Foundation Global Life Release Movement and Karma Triyana Dharmachakra. You can also participate by donating to Animal Farm Sanctuaries at http://woodstocksanctuary.org/about/mission/ or http://www.farmsanctuary.org/.
On July 28th, 29th and 30th, we will not consume any animal products as part of Animal Freedom Day. Animal Freedom Day is a global event that aims to raise awareness towards the environmental crisis, human health and animal welfare. People all over the world will abstain from eating meat on these three days or engage in the practice of Life Release.
Please make a difference, help us bring compassion to animals and the earth. Find out more about Animal Freedom Day. And watch the trailer for the new movie, Don’t Eat Me.
The Tara Shedrup Center, Hartford KTC, and Chodron Foundation Global Life-Protecting Movement are working to put kindness in motion to humans, animals, the planet, and to create a more peaceful, harmonious, and sustainable world.

All beings tremble before violence.
All fear death, all love life.
See yourself in others.
Then whom can you hurt?
What harm can you do?
