首先不想讨论,Shaun Monson的纪录片万物一体,是否称得上是一部纪录片或是视觉化的论文,因为这对我来说,并不重要
I don't want to talk about if Unity is a documentary or a visualization of strong personal opinion by using relevant video and audio footage, because it doesn't matter to me
再次不想讨论,食肉和喝牛奶的好与坏,因为这并不是论题的重点
I don't want to talk about if eating meat and drinking milk are good or bad, because that's not the point
对我而言,真正的重点在于,你认为你愿意与多少肉类和牛奶的工业食品获取过程中,所产生的一系列非自然状态下的痛苦产生联系?
the point is, if you don't understand how one effects the other, you don't care about it. Once you see how one effects the other, how much of responsibility of the suffering from being abused or killed that you think you can bear to take?
自然界,弱肉强食的过程中,产生的对于死亡的恐惧、挣扎和最终死亡的结果,皆在自然法则的界限内。
In nature, the weak are killed and eaten by the strong, that's the rule of nature. The fear, suffering and death exist under the rule of nature.
而另有一些痛苦,在工业食品生产出现之前,并不存在, 包括剥夺哺乳动物的哺乳权利和增加动物死亡前的痛苦
But these sufferings never existed until food production and industry were built up: depriving the right of mammals being fed by mother's milk in lactation period when alive and increasing the suffering of animals before death
前年在康巴藏区拍摄牧民的生活时,让我看到,游牧民族对待动物的方式
Two years ago, when I was filming the life of Tibetan Nomads in Kham Tibetan Region in Sichuan, it was hard not to notice the way Tibetan nomads treat their yaks
牦牛奶是维持高原放牧生活的重要食物能量来源,牧民每天都喝牦牛奶,在获取牦牛奶之前,他们会让小牦牛先吃饱,然后开始诵经,母牛会安静下来,获取牦牛奶的整个过程在诵经中进行。
Yak milk is in Tibetan nomads' every day menu, they milk the yak only after the yaks finishes feeding their babies. Tibetan nomads are chanting while milking the yaks. The whole process is peaceful and respectful.
“当我们用心感受所有生命的伤痛时,意识就此产生” - 薄伽梵歌
Consciousness is when we feel the suffering of every creature within our own hearts.- Bhagavad Gītā
这可能就是,开启觉醒之旅的时刻吧
