Help every creature
Compassion for all living beings is the urgent teaching.
The world experiences great heat and drought. Many animals suffer and die from lack of water. While the ocean is vast and salty, sustaining life within it, life on land requires fresh water. We must help where we can. Our circumstances change, as illustrated by an old story. A mother gives her son a ring, explaining it signifies that difficult times will pass and good times will also change. This is the nature of life. We are to learn from such teachings. Therefore, we must act with practical kindness. Use water wisely. Provide water for animals and birds. Share what you have with all creatures. This is a great blessing.
"Whenever you have any problems... look in the ring. Good days will come."
"We should help everyone, not only humans, but all birds and animals and everything."
