Animals are naturally contemplative and if we relate to them correctly we can learn to be contemplative ourselves.

These malas are inspired by Fear-No-More Zoo where humanity is sensitive to and respectful of the sacred nature of all life. Fear-No-More Zoo is a unique environment where all can learn about our sacred connection to the natural world. Non-human residents at these sanctuaries include Bactrian camels, horses, llamas, and more. These non-humans live in a conscious, sacred circumstance where they are free to live their lives in safety and love.

Adi Da Samraj speaks about Fear-No-More Zoo: "Living things are there being without fear, human beings without fear, all beings without fear. Fear-No-More is a Sacred Place. It awakens compassion for all living beings, just being down there."

Adi Da Samraj speaks about non-humans: "The non-humans are, by their very nature, innately extended in the Field of Transcendental Contemplation. Fundamentally, as an innate characteristic, they Stand Prior to mind. In that sense, the non-humans are (to some degree) already Free."
