P-22 CELEBRATION OF LIFE

California Compassion Meditation, Hollywood

P-22's Celebration of Life is being presented by the National Wildlife Federation.

Los Angeles — and the world — lost the beloved puma or mountain lion P-22 on Dec. 17, 2022 [when misguided scientists executed him in a murderous act of euthanasia* to spare themselves feeling bad that it might suffer after being hit by a car, becoming confused and erratic in a suburban environment populated by humans].

White Man kills then tries to save our lions.

We will all be grappling with the loss for some time, trying to make sense of a Los Angeles without this magnificent wild creature. Let’s come together as a community to celebrate his remarkable life.

Joining us will be special guests speaking about their connections to P-22 — and how it also connected us all. There will be musical performances, dancing, food, and much more.

*Euthanasia is BAD karma

Bhante and Dhr. Seven, (ed.) Wisdom Quarterly COMMENTARY

Kill the animals, dogs and cats, and call it "mercy"! It will be your bad karma and the doctor's.

.

Bad thoughts lead to bad actions lead to bad results

Killing to avoid the pain created by our mirror cells and calling it an act of "mercy" and "compassion," because as well all know being murdered is better than being allowed to be in pain that makes others uncomfortable. The intention of taking life is a citta or mind moment that conditions the subsequent result. The motives for killing can only be of four kinds, which is true of all bad karma: greed, hatred/fear, and delusion (passion, angry aversion/cowardly aversion, and wrong view). When the act (karma) is willed and carried out, motivated by one or more of these intentions, it will ripen (when it comes to fruition, which it will do many times in the future) in unwelcome results generally called "suffering" (dukkha).
