How do animals achieve enlightenment?
by Goanna = Element » Sat Jun 11, 2011 8:41 am
How do animals achieve enlightenment, or at least achieve rebirth as a human, since they cannot meditate or understand Buddhism? Is there something we can do to help our pets have a better rebirth?

Element has returned to troll again.
...he wondered whether there was any love between human beings that did not rest upon some sort of self-delusion.

Luckily no one wasted any time responding to his disingenuous questions on this occasion....

If you have asked me of the origination of unease, then I shall explain it to you in accordance with my understanding:
Whatever various forms of unease there are in the world, They originate founded in encumbering accumulation. (Pārāyanavagga)
