Dharma Voices for Animals Logo

Thank you for Being a Voice for Animals.

Today, you are becoming a member of Dharma Voices for Animals (DVA), the world's only international Buddhist animal rights/advocacy organization, and helping animals worldwide by raising awareness among the Dharma community of their tremendous and unnecessary suffering.

Together, we are working to help make a better world for animals by engaging in advocacy, education, and outreach efforts with Buddhists worldwide.


The great Dzogchen master and DVA member and contributor Chatral Rinpoche put it:

If you take meat, it goes against the vows one takes in seeking refuge in the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha because when you take meat, you have to take a being's life. So I gave it up.
