Life is as dear to the mute creature as it is to a man. Just as one wants happiness and fears pain, just as one wants to live and not to die, so do other creatures.
-Dalai Lama Xiv "The XIV Dalai Lama"

Life is life – Whether in a cat, or dog or man. There is no difference there between a cat or a man. The idea of difference is a human conception for man’s own advantage.

If you wish to understand mind and life, then religion or institutes will not be

phenomena and events unfolding around you.
