The Arhats and Bhagavats (the worthy and venerable ones) of the past, present, and future, all say thus, speak thus, declare thus, explain thus:
All breathing, existing, living, sentient creatures should not be slain, nor treated with violence, nor abused, nor tormented, nor driven away.
Lord Mahävir
Achäränga Sutra (book 1, lect 4, lesson 1) Translated by H. Jacobi
