The teachings of Buddhism, known as the buddha dharma, are intended for the benefit of all sentient beings. However, only human beings are able to hear, understand, and practice the teachings. Buddhism teaches us to have compassion for all beings, especially those beings who are unable to receive the dharma, for example because of the limitation of their intelligence, such as animals. By dedicating the merit of their positive deeds to the benefit of all beings, Buddhists help those beings to be reborn into human form, where they will be able to strive for enlightenment. When we realize that in the course of countless incarnations, all beings have been our mother at one time or another, and tenderly cared for us so that we might have life, the natural response is love and compassion for those beings. Love is the wish that they be happy, and compassion is the wish to relieve their suffering. The ideal of Mahayana Buddhism is to devote one's life to serving all beings so that they might attain the goal of life, which is complete enlightenment and release from samsara, the ceaseless wheel of birth and death in illusion.
