畜牲本是人来做，
人畜轮回古到今。
若不披毛并戴角，
劝君休使畜性心。
– 普庵禅师
Animals [including livestock] originally were humans, [who have] become [them, as] humans and animals [are] reborn [as one another from] ancient times till [the] present, [and as other beings]. If not [wishing to] wear fur and bear horns, [I] urge you [to] make [your] animalistic[ally greedy, hateful and deluded] mind end.
– Chan Master Pu’an
