A Donkey Lesson: Use Every Second to Meditate (Part 2 of 2) Aug 1, 2013, France

All animals can teach us some things. For example, dogs can teach us loyalty and humility. They are very loyal to the so-called owner, or human companion. They can die for you. Some birds can teach us loyalty to our spouse. To love each other and to respect each other. Even cats can teach you filial piety. If you don't understand, you can get a donkey and you'll know. Watch how he does things and you do the same. I mean you learn their quality. They utilize their time. They know how to manage their time. When it’s time for them to work, they work. When there’s time to rest, they rest immediately. Otherwise, they may not have the time later. We humans have endless things to learn. We can never finish learning from the animals. Every animal has its very good qualities.
