Dear Vegans,

If you’re having one of those days where you’re feeling like you’re not making a difference, here’s something to boost you up:

You

  • produce 50% less carbon emissions
  • use 1/11th the amount of oil as carnists
  • 1/13th the amount of water as carnists
  • 1/18th the amount of land (for agriculture) as carnists
  • save 1,100 gallons of water every day
  • save 45 pounds of grains every day
  • save 30 square feet of rainforest every day
  • save 20 pounds of carbon dioxide every day
  • save at least 1 life with every meal

Imagine a lotus upon the top of the head, several inches up, with virtue as its centre, and knowledge as its stalk. The eight petals of the lotus are the eight powers of the Yogi. Inside, the stamens and pistils are renunciation. If the Yogi refuses the external powers he will come to salvation. So the eight petals of the lotus are the eight powers, but the internal stamens and pistils are extreme renunciation, the renunciation of all these powers. Inside of that lotus think of the Golden One, the Almighty, the Intangible, He whose name is Om, the Inexpressible, surrounded with effulgent light. Meditate on that.
