  The deer to the wholesome wold;

  As it was in the days of old.

• Have you ever noticed the perfection of nature? The seasons and how one changes into the next, the falling leaves, composting soil, rains, new seedlings, sunshine, growth, blossoms, etc. Grass grows, deer eats grass, lion eats deer, deer population is stabilized so there is grass for other animals; sunrise and sunset, boy and girl, winter and summer.

• The person who kills for fun is announcing that, could he get away with it, he'd kill you for fun. Your...life may be of no consequence to anyone else but is invaluable to you because it's the only one you've got. Exactly the same is true of each individual deer, hare, rabbit, fox, fish, pheasant and butterfly. Humans should enjoy their own lives, not taking others'.

• We must forget bodily consciousness like a deer which is infatuated by music.
  We must look up to God, as the young ones of a tortoise look up to their mother.
  As a fountain rises upwards, even so must one's spirit rise to God.
  One should entertain no idea whatsoever, except that of God.

• Doubt is a precipice on the way to God. Blessed is he who is freed from its bonds. He who fares without any doubt, adhere to his footprints if you do not know the way. Cleave to the footprints of the deer and advance with care that you may reach the musk-gland. By means of such trekking, even if you walk on fire, you will reach the luminous peak.

• An absolute
  patience.
  Trees stand
  up to their knees in
  fog. The fog
  slowly flows
  uphill.
  White
  cobwebs, the grass
  leaning where deer
  have looked for apples.
  The woods
  from brook to where
  the top of the hill looks
  over the fog, send up
  not one bird.
  So absolute, it is
  no other than
  happiness itself, a breathing
  too quiet to hear.

  Denise Levertov

Every part of the Earth is sacred to my people, every shining pine needle, every sandy shore, every mist in the dark woods, every clear and humming insect is holy in the memory and experience of my people.

• The thought of eating rabbit and squirrels doesn't appeal to me. And that was on our table quite often as a kid. In your uppity restaurants, they serve a lot of rabbit. But I just can't help but think of Peter. And deer, I can't go there, because of Bambi.

• Bearing in his right paw the shovel that digs to the truth beneath appearances, cut the roots of useless attachments, and flings damp sand on the fires of greed and war; His left paw in the Mudra of Comradely Display - indicating that all creatures have the full right to live to their limits and that deer, rabbits, chipmunks, snakes, dandelions, and lizards all grow in the realm of the Dharma.
