The Mouse That Roared
H.E JETSUN KHANDRO RINPOCHE WRITES: This morning, a little mouse—probably more than one—got run over by our tractor. Please include these mice in your prayers today, as well as all the many seen and unseen animals that we accidentally, unintentionally, and so often run over with our various machines. Only those that are visible strike our hearts very much; but if you could see the invisible numbers of beings killed on the land, it is many times that. So light a few butterlamps dedicated to all of them and keep them in your prayers.
