040: The Gift of a Safe World: How Buddhist Compassion Inspires Vegan Action

What if compassion could change the world again, just like it did more than two thousand years ago?

In this episode, you will meet Rayane Laddi, a Buddhist vegan who is proving that kindness is not an idea. It is a practice. His work shows how ancient teachings can transform modern problems, from animal advocacy to fundraising to environmental health.

This conversation takes you inside Dharma Voices for Animals, the first organization to align Buddhist teachings with vegan living. What started with one simple question has become a global movement grounded in mindfulness, non harming, and compassion for all beings.

You will learn how Rayane uses Buddhist generosity to build stronger fundraising campaigns, how metta meditation shapes equality and peace, and how sanctuaries can expand their reach by connecting animal care with social and environmental issues.

Rayane also breaks down the heartbreaking elephant crisis in Sri Lanka and how DVA is working toward compassionate solutions.

If you believe compassion is powerful enough to reshape the world, you will want to hear this.

Listen now and discover how Buddhist kindness can inspire real change.
