"Master, we have some questions regarding the COVID[-19] pandemic." "This is an energy. This angry energy, this unbenevolent energy in the world, because of the karma that we made. And Heaven also feels very, very furious over our treatment to each other and the lesser beings like animals." "The mask doesn’t help 100%, but it helps somehow. Actually, this is just physically speaking. You have to really have good merit, benevolent merit in order to protect yourself. But we do what we can in the world, we do what we think is logical, is the best. But still wear the mask, wear the face shield, wear hat, wear gloves, if you absolutely have to go out." "People's lives are at stake. Many doctors died; many nurses died already. We cannot just let it be for nothing and blame each other, wasting time. Have to be united and find a cure as quick as possible. Pray also. Even the government or anyone should pray to Heaven for more leniency, so that they can find a cure quick to save lives. And be vegan. Advise everyone to be vegan. That’s the best solution. Not blaming each other." "Don't eat animals anymore. Then we don’t have this animal transmitted disease at least. It’s so obvious. We have mad cow disease from cows. We have pig disease from pigs. We have fish-something disease from mercury, from fish that’s undetectable, that’s incurable as well. Or salmonella from eggs. We have bird flu from chicken, etc., from other fowl species, etc. So, it’s all from animals up to now. Up to now, all of the terrible diseases and epidemics, pandemics we've had are from animals."

During a work-related phone call with a Supreme Master Television staff member on Friday April 17, 2020, our Beloved Supreme Master Ching Hai, who is still meditating intensively for the world, graciously answered some questions and, in particular, conveyed Her deep concern about the recent situation in China regarding the expulsion of African workers and students due to fears brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. “I’m so, so, so sorry for the Africans, in this situation. And I’m sure the Chinese never wanted to do this. Because we know that the Chinese government has been very, very friendly to the African nations all these years and decades. It must have been very, very painful for them now, for the Chinese people, going through what they have gone through. And can you imagine if it were you? So they cannot bear to risk another kind of tragedy. Because of the Ebola. Otherwise it would have never happened. Because the Chinese government has always been a friend of Africa. Helping them in different ways. What happened was a regrettable incident that none would wish to occur. It was because the Chinese people are so, so traumatized. And they’re so fearful right now. I just hope that the African people remember the friendship and the kindness that the Chinese people helping and the African people (have) over these decades. We just have to go through a period of so-called bad luck because of the karma, all this accumulated karma all this time, due to killing animals and meat-eating. If we continue the way the world people do, like killing animals or making war, and then eating the animal meat, then we will have another wave of cleaning. Since forever, we always have plagues and trouble because of that. Because of the killing karma, killing the innocents, it just has to be cleaned out. However painful and sad it seems, but there’s no way we can avoid that. If we don’t change our way of life, we cannot change our destiny. I do pray. We just have to pray, pray and hope that peace and goodwill soon return to our African-Chinese friendship as well as in our world.” Supreme Master Ching Hai has been arranging loving contributions for the most vulnerable victims of the COVID-19 virus in different countries, with all love and sorrowful prayers, in Heaven's bountiful mercy.

Respected leaders and government officials, I am really grateful to you for all you have done up to date, to help our world the best you can. I thank you all. This is just a reminder, because I know that you know what’s the right thing to do. You must protect all under your wings – the co-citizens and the co-inhabitants, that is, the so-called animals. They are utterly helpless and à la mercy of humans’ power. The fact is, THERE IS NO HUMANE SLAUGHTER, no such thing as lawful murder en masse of the innocents. The WORLD IS BURNING, threatens to get worse any moment, HUMANS AND ANIMALS PERISHING at an alarming rate. Heavens and Earth are plaguing us with ever new, more strange diseases. Destructive signs are evident everywhere. WARNING SIGNS ARE AMBER and obvious around our world! Our climate is accelerating. Animal raising, fish, egg, milk industries, etc., anything to do with animals, are the worst producers of lethal methane gas which heats up our planet. So, stopping these brutal, murderous businesses is the fastest way to cool our Earth. You have the power to stop all this. You have the privilege to IMPLEMENT VEGAN LAW, NO MORE ANIMAL RELATED SUFFERING BUSINESSES. Zero pain, agony for all beings, humans and animals. Because kindness will beget kindness, and compassion will beget compassion. Mercy will beget mercy from Heavens. And this VEGAN LAW IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO SAVE OUR WORLD. So do not run away anymore from this inevitable decision. Simply just MAKE THE VEGAN LAW AND SIGN IT. Before it’s too late for you to decide the right thing, before it’s too late to even regret. Before more of God’s wrath descends upon us, with more severe weather, more plagues, more terror, more lives lost, more precious resources disappeared, more financial disaster. Work for God, with God. So you will be feeling light, pure and happy by DOING THE RIGHT THING, NOW. Make THE VEGAN LAW to save our world. MAKE VEGANISM THE LAW. Please keep watching to find out more. This is a highly recommended must-watch! As for all our shows, viewers may download this message free and send it to your respected government leaders, family and friends. God bless.

Your Reverend Holinesses, Highly Reverend Priests, Priestesses, Monks, Nuns of different faiths, my best wishes and humble prayers for Your wellness in God’s mercy. Though my time is tight and precious, as I am still in intensive meditation retreat for World Vegan, World Peace, but the urgent call of the planet and our world push me. I feel I must deliver some urgent messages to Your Holinesses and Reverends. Well, if our house is on fire, we cannot say: “I don’t have time to take care of it!” Our planet house is on fire!!! This letter serves the same goal anyway. It’s supposed to be sent by post, but I’ll read it. It’s faster. In time of emergency, too much bureaucracy doesn’t help.   Your Holinesses and Reverends…Although the denomination seems varied, but we all serve one God, I believe. We are so grateful, I am so grateful, for the noble, devoted work Your Holinesses and all Your Reverends have been doing over the years, uniting people through spreading the Almighty’s message of love and compassion among humans and all of creation. Thank You. May God forever be on Your side.As great spiritual leaders, You would also be aware of the devastation occurring on our planet, directly related to accelerated climate change caused by humans’ cruel behaviors and brutal habits, which is not so difficult to change once applying the principle of love. Please tell Your believers this truth. Please keep telling them, please keep reminding them. I know You did, but we could do more. Thank You. We just have to change. Tell them that we must change. We must change if we want to claim that we are human, that we are the future Buddha, that we are the children of God! Because WE CANNOT SAY THAT WE ARE THE CHILDREN OF GOD IF WE MURDER OTHER CHILDREN OF GOD. WE CANNOT CLAIM TO BE THE FUTURE BUDDHA IF WE MASSACRE OTHER FUTURE BUDDHAS whether in human form or in animal form. As we read the Buddhist Sutras, we know that even Shakyamuni Buddha repeatedly incarnated innumerable times as animals. And we know, in the Bible, God says that Hes even created all kinds of vegetables for the animals to eat and Hes created many things for us as well. If the animals mean nothing to God, God wouldn’t have created things for them to eat. Just like God loves us, so God created things for us to consume. It says that in the Bible, God created fruit and vegetables in the field and that those shall be our food. (Holy Bible, Genesis 1:29) We cannot say we love God and then destroy Hiers creation relentlessly. And now we are destroying Hiers planet.   But with over 74 billion land animals alone mercilessly massacred for human consumption every year, the livestock raising industry and its byproducts are responsible for 87% of human-caused greenhouse gas emissions. Not only we are destroying the planet by what we consume, but unspeakable atrocities are happening to innocent animals who have never done anything wrong. Moreover, God created animals to be our friends and helpers, not to be murdered and eaten in such a barbarious way! It is the 21st century, for God’s sake.   In the Holy Bible, Job 12:7-8, it is said: “But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or ask the birds in the sky, and they will tell you. Or speak to the Earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish in the sea inform you.” So, the animals, the Earth that God created are wise, respected beings, whose presence are a great blessing to humans.   But what unpardonable acts against God’s Law are we doing to our Heavenly Father’s creation? We are destroying God’s creatures from land to sea! The abominable cruelty inflicted on God’s innocent creatures in lab tests, in livestock raising, in fishing, egg industry, milk, fur, cosmetics, etc., etc… Those industries are undeniably horrific and inhumane. It causes innocent, defenseless, gentle animals, our co-inhabitants, God’s creatures, to be imprisoned and tortured, molested in many ways without any chance to defense, or to utter any call for help! Even if they utter some call for help, say the mother cows, the mother pigs were crying when their babies were taken away, beaten, kicked, and murdered, no one would care. Even a five-year-old kid would understand their emotion. It’s worse than many hells! Imagine if they are our children, our relatives, our friends or ourselves! They are living beings with emotions, with thoughts, feelings. Any of us who have spent time with a pet, knows that they have their own personalities, they experience love, care, pain and sorrow, happiness and excitement. And loyalty; absolute loyalty. And there is no difference between a house-pet and other animals confined all their life in horrendous concentrated, tight animal factories’ crates or fenced-in cramped spaces, rain or shine, no shelter, enduring all kinds of weather, any wicked unimaginable conditions, and whose lives are violently ended at slaughterhouses! For humans’ consumption. If we still think that we are human in this case.   For more information, please also watch the following recommended documentaries, such as: award-winning “Cowspiracy,” “Earthlings,” “Dominion,” and award-nominated “What the Health,” etc., etc... Also, download free-of-charge “From Crisis to Peace” at Crisis2Peace.org   Crisis2Peace.org   In all the major religions, there are commonalities, such as the principles: “Do unto others what you would have them do unto you” and “Thou shall not kill.” “Ahimsa” meaning nonviolence, etc… Obviously, the eating of any kind of animals, sentient beings is absolutely forbidden in all main belief systems and holy teachings. Yet too many of God’s children, or religious believers, are not following these basic guidelines, because we have been led astray by misconceptions that we need to eat the flesh of animals, fish, eggs and milk to be healthy. The opposite is true - it has been proven in scientific and clinical studies that consuming animals causes innumerable diseases in humans, such as cancers, all kinds of cancers and heart diseases, thus early death, and endless sorrow, suffering before that. Not just to the patients but to their relatives, friends, family members and loved ones.   It’s time now to awaken and change these physically and spiritually unwholesome, unhealthy, cruel habits, and the utmost atrocity involved. Our original diet, as per the Garden of Eden, is the vegan diet. It promotes both physical and mental and spiritual wellbeing. We can live happy, healthy lives, thriving purely on plant foods. Actors, actresses, athletes, sportsmen, martial arts champions, medical doctors, scientists, Nobel Prize winners, etc… are glowing proof of a healthy plant-based diet. This also adheres to “Thou shall not kill,” or “Ahimsa,” means no violence, whereas eating animals goes against this commandment from God. Even if we are not the ones doing the killing, we cause others to kill for us. The animals suffer and die just the same, just for our meal, which we can replace with any other plant-based food. And nowadays it’s even much more so easy. Thus our being, due to murdering animals, is drenched with blood of the innocent on our hands. Please teach this again and again to Your trusting followers who look up to You, to Your Holinesses and Reverends as icons of compassion and saintly love. So they would listen to You! We cannot let satan or maya, the devil or the negative force continue to lure us astray, against God’s will, and against our innate intelligence and compassionate nature.Before continuing this letter, I will read a few examples of the prohibition of animals’ flesh eating in the main world religions. Just in case someone else also is listening. Someone else who has forgotten the religious commandments of their own religion. So first I’ll read it in alphabetic order.   THE BAHA’I FAITH “Regarding the eating of animal flesh and abstinence therefrom, know thou of a certainty that, in the beginning of creation, God determined the food of every living being, and to eat contrary to that determination is not approved.” ~ Selections from the Bahá’í Writings on Some Aspects of Health and Healing   BUDDHISM “…ALL MEATS EATEN BY LIVING BEINGS ARE OF THEIR OWN RELATIVES.” ~ Lankavatara Sutra (Tripitaka No. 671)   “Also, after the birth of the baby, care must be exercised not to kill any animal in order to feed the mother with meaty delicacies and not to assemble many relatives to drink liquor or to eat meat….because at the difficult time of birth there are innumerable evil demons, monsters and goblins who want to consume the smelly blood…. by ignorantly and adversely resorting to the killing of animals for consumption… they bring down curses upon themselves, which are detrimental to both the mother and the baby.” ~ Kristigarbha Sutra, Chapter 8   Another one: “Be careful during the days immediately after someone’s death, not killing or destroying or creating evil karma by worshipping or offering sacrifice to demons and deities… because such killing or  slaughtering committed or such worship performed or such sacrifice offered WOULD NOT HAVE EVEN AN IOTA OF FORCE TO BENEFIT THE DEAD, BUT WOULD ENTWINE EVEN MORE SINFUL KARMA INTO PREVIOUS KARMA, MAKING IT EVEN DEEPER AND MORE SERIOUS. …thus, DELAY HIS REBIRTH TO A GOOD STATE.” Or even send them speedily to hell. Karma means retribution. “As you sow, so shall you reap.” In the Bible, it states so. “As you sow, so shall you reap.” That is the meaning of karma in Sanskrit terms.   Another one: “If bhiksus do not wear garments made of silk,” the silk that is made from the silkworms, “boots of local leather and furs, and refrain from consuming milk, cream and butter therefrom, they will really be liberated… If a man can control his body and mind and thereby refrains from eating animal flesh and wearing animal products, I say he will really be liberated.” Bhiksus means monks. ~ Surangama Sutra   Another one: “If any of my disciples does not honestly consider that and still eats meat, we should know that he is of the candela’s lineage. HE IS NOT MY DISCIPLE and I am not his teacher. Therefore, Mahamati, if anyone wishes to be my relative, HE SHOULD NOT EAT ANY MEAT.” Candela means killer or murderer. ~ Lankavatara Sutra   CAO ĐÀI-ISM “The most important thing is to stop killing... because animals also have souls and understand like humans... IF WE KILL AND EAT THEM, THEN WE OWE THEM A BLOOD DEBT.” ~ Teachings of the Saints, About Keeping the Ten Precepts – Abstaining from Killing, Section 2   CHRISTIANITY “Meats for the belly, and belly for the meats: but God shall destroy both it and them.” ~ 1st Corinthians 6:13, Holy Bible   Another one: “And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere (before) it was chewed, the wrath of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the LORD smote the people with a very great plague.” ~ Numbers 11:33, Holy Bible   CONFUCIANISM “All men have a mind which cannot bear to see the sufferings of others. The superior man, having seen the animals alive, cannot bear to see them die; having heard their dying cries, HE CANNOT BEAR TO EAT THEIR FLESH.” ~ Mencius, King Hui of Liang, Chapter 4   ĐẠO DỪA-ISM “To have peace, humanity must first have peace with the animals; do not kill them to feed ourselves, then there will be peace among people.” ~Nam Quốc Phật Temple   ESSENES “I am come to end the sacrifices and feasts of blood, and if ye cease NOT OFFERING AND EATING OF FLESH AND BLOOD, the wrath of God shall not cease from you.” ~ Gospel of the Holy Twelve   HINDUISM “Since you cannot bring killed animals back to life, you are responsible for killing them. Therefore you are going to hell; there is no way for your deliverance.” ~ Adi-lila, Chapter 17, verses 159-165   Another: “He who desires to augment his own flesh by eating the flesh of other creatures lives in misery in whatever species he may take his birth.” ~ Mahabharata, Anu. 115.47. FS, pg. 90   Another: “O best of Kings! If the things, acquired by injuring others, be utilized in any auspicious act, they yield contrary results at the time of fruition.” ~ Devi Bhagavatam, Fourth Book, Chapter 4, verse 32   ISLAM “Allah will not give mercy to anyone, except those who give mercy to other creatures.” ~ Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him), Hadith   Another: “Do not allow your stomachs to become graveyards of animals!” ~ Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him), Hadith   JAINISM “A true monk should NOT ACCEPT SUCH FOOD AND DRINK as has been especially prepared for him INVOLVING THE SLAUGHTER OF LIVING BEINGS.” ~ Sutrakritanga   JUDAISM “And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eat anything that has blood*; I WILL EVEN SET MY FACE AGAINST THAT SOUL THAT EATETH BLOOD*, and will cut him off from among his people.” ~ Leviticus 17:10, Holy Bible *blood: meaning “flesh,” which has blood.   SIKHISM “Those mortals who consume marijuana, flesh and wine - no matter what pilgrimages, fasts and rituals they follow, they will all go to hell.”  ~ Guru Granth Sahib, page 1377   TAOISM “Do not go into the mountain to catch birds in nets, nor to the water to poison fishes and minnows. Do not butcher the ox.”     ~ Tract of the Quiet Way   TIBETAN BUDDHISM “The offering to the deities of meat obtained by killing animate beings is like offering a mother the flesh of her own child; and this is a grievous sin.” ~ The Supreme Path of Discipleship: The Precepts of The Gurus, The Thirteen Grievous Sins, Great Guru Gampopa   ZOROASTRIANISM “Those plants, I, Ahura Mazda (means God), rain down upon the earth, to bring food to the faithful, and fodder to the beneficent cow.” ~ Avesta   etc., and etc. There are more, of course. These are just a few examples. For further info, please check SupremeMasterTV.com.   So regardless of which faith anyone belongs to, all must keep the most important precept: “Thou shall not kill.” Ahimsa. Nonviolence.   Now it’s time for humanity to go back to how our Creator originally intended for all Hiers children to live – in dignity, respect, peace, love, and to be good stewards of our Earthly abode. Please remind Your faithful of all this and more. I know You did, but please repeat again and again, and explain to them it’s utmost important for their own souls as well as for our planet, for our world. It’s time for the suffering of all animals to end, as they have a right to live in peace, freedom and dignity with their loved ones in nature, just as God originally intended.   Please help to rescue God’s creation. Please help to end the suffering of innocents. We make war with each other, and we make war with animals. These are not right. These actions are not right. These actions are against God’s commandments and will. Please remind Your faithful. I trust in the wisdom of Your Holinesses and all Your Reverends to lead this great change! We must change. I trust that Your Holinesses and Your Reverends, all Your Reverends to lead this great change. To promote the vegan lifestyle, which encompasses love, compassion and respect for all beings and obeys God’s commandments. Please promote it to all Your clergy, monks, nuns and all the faithful.   The power of Your entrusted position will lend a significant, effective encouragement for world citizens to follow Your lead. Please be “the hero of our time,” rescue all these innocent beings, our fellow co-inhabitants called animals, who have never done any harm. Who are a blessing to our world. Who are wonderful, loving and kind to humans as well as to their own co-inhabitant animals. In our Supreme Master Television, we have ample examples of that, of the animals’ loving compassion and kindness recorded from all over the world. Please tell Your faithful to watch them. We cannot expect Heavens when we create hell or condone the hellish, massacre of God’s beloved creation, in such a mass-murdering, cold-blooded way. We cannot expect Heavens’ leniency if we destroy God’s creation and have no mercy to other children of God, meaning the animals.   Please do not ignore their horrendous plight. God knows their daily anguish. Heavens and Earth witness their pain. Their cries have shaken all Heavens and the hearts of many beings. Please speak for them, please help them, as this also helps our world to heal in the wake of climate acceleration. Your noble deed will be forever recorded by Heavens and contribute to a benevolent atmosphere on our planet, to world peace, and to the stabilization of the climate, which is important to all lives on Earth. All lives also depend on Your merciful act.   The world citizens, the animals and our children will forever remember Your heroic, compassionate deeds and pray for Your happy, prosperous, healthy long life in the name of God. The ever Merciful Heavens will be pleased. The all-loving God will pardon our sins and lengthen our lives, as we pardon and lengthen our co-inhabitants’ lives, the loving, kind animals.   May God bless You, all Your Holinesses and all Your Reverends, and bless Your holy mission abundantly, and may God bless our world.   Amen. Thank You. Thank You, and thank You.   In God’s Love, thank You.

Dear all animal meat business persons, groups, and livestock factory owners: Please take heed, because this is very, very important for you. You must know this before it’s too late – for you. This is what hell will sentence you for: … Maybe you did not do it on purpose. Maybe you didn’t think about it, but you must do think about it, because it concerns you. You will go to hell and suffer so much more, a thousand times more than these animals and people are suffering because of your bloody business. I am not swearing. Blood is on your hands. On your body, in your hair, in your stomach, in your breath, in your lungs, in your cars, in your houses. In your food, in your shoes, the leather shoes that you wear. Everything. It’s all stained in blood, soaked in blood. U-turn now when you still can. Begin a new life. I promise to intervene with Heaven on your behalf. For I also love you, despite what you have done. So stop the murdering. Stop it now and repent, so that the mercy of God might not be obstructed for you and yours. May God help you to be awakened soon. Please keep watching to find out more. This is a highly recommended must-watch!

I don’t want to mince my words anymore. Our time is short now. Our world is in truly imminent emergency. There are a few ticking bombs, not just one. No need to wait for even climate change. Heaven is angry. Earth is angry. The Nature is angry, waiting, waiting for us to return to our original loving, kind nature, as God intended us to have. Waiting for us to exercise this power to save others and to save ourselves and our family. All this angry, anguished energy is all aiming at us. Compared to this energy, the atom bomb is nothing. It’s like a child’s toy. Hell is inevitable if we do not change our way of life. Help the planet. Rescue the animals. Save our world. Be a hero. We are going to pray together. If you believe in justice, even if you can’t be vegan at this point, just pray to be soon. Pray for World Vegan. Join us, please, to meditate every Sunday, 9 o’clock in the evening [Hong Kong time]. Our prayers are going to be powerful because it’s backed by Heavens and Saints and God Power. I made sure of that. It has tremendous power, never before known to humankind, especially now when we do it together, and you became vegan or praying to be vegan or are going to be vegan with all your benevolent, inherent quality within you. It’s going to be effective, very effective. Please tell also your family members, your friends, your acquaintances, whomever you know to pray with us, with you, with us for a vegan world. It’s good for them also. We can PRAY, MEDITATE TOGETHER about half an hour. And we can also continue every weekend like that; EVERY SUNDAY AGAIN.

Lord Kalki said：“My mission will be to eliminate the wicked Kali, with the help of My four brothers. O demigods, your expansions should also take birth on the earth to assist Me in My mission.” Similar to Lord Kalki’s four brother helpers, Supreme Master Ching Hai once revealed that She has four pillars of peace – saintly individuals who have been assisting in Her mission, even by sacrificing their lives, to bring the world closer to the Golden Age. “There are four people who sacrificed for peace, to help me out. To help the planet, actually. Like, if you want to succeed in some battle, taking down some of the citadels, then it’s better to have some insiders and outsiders, both together working. “At that time (when Kali Yuga ends), the Supreme Personality of Godhead will appear on the earth. Acting with the power of pure spiritual goodness, He will defend the Dharma (True teaching) and rescue the eternal Religion.” Here, the “eternal Religion,” Sanatana Dharma, refers to the way of spiritual life toward liberation. As we read a little further in this Bhagavata Purana, we find a description of the “transcendental knowledge” that the Kalki Avatar inherits when He came to Earth. Along with moral precepts, those teachings include meditation on the inner Heavenly Sound current, which is exactly what Supreme Master Ching Hai teaches. “[The sage] Suta Gosvami said: O brahmana, first the subtle VIBRATION OF TRANSCENDENTAL SOUND appeared from the sky of the heart of the most elevated Lord Brahma, whose mind was perfectly fixed in spiritual realization. One can perceive this subtle vibration when one stops all external hearing. By worship of this subtle form of the Vedas (Knowledge), O brahmana, mystic sages cleanse their hearts of all contamination caused by impurity of substance, activity and doer, and thus they attain freedom from repeated birth and death.”

Since ancient times, numerous Masters have graced our precious planet with their divine presence and have helped to uplift humanity’s spirit and level of consciousness. These Master courageously share their wisdom with the world through their holy teachings and continue to touch the lives of countless beings through their kindness and compassion. One such venerated Master was Prophet Mani, the founder of Manichaeism. Prophet Mani, known as the Messenger of Light, was a Persian Saint and preacher who founded the Manichaean religion in the third century AD. His teachings were primarily a culmination of Zoroastrianism, Buddhism, and Christianity. Prophet Mani was revered for revealing heavenly knowledge, modeling righteous behavior, practicing compassionate philanthropy, and having psychic abilities such as supernatural healing powers, clairvoyance, and levitation. The venerated Prophet Mani was born around 216 AD in Babylon, Mesopotamia, now modern-day Iraq. Prophet Mani heeded this call, and at the age of 25 years, He began preaching the Truth. His teachings would be called Manichaeism, and focused on dualistic cosmology. The Saint believed that God had created an immaculate world of light and spirit. Prophet Mani called himself an Apostle of Lord Jesus Christ who was here to teach the true message of Christianity. Prophet Mani was indeed a Messenger of Light, dedicated and determined to help liberate humanity.

Hi, everyone! It's summer. We're going to make somthing nice for summer. Here’s apple and banana, orange, some grapes, kiwi, melon, and watermelon. So, I’m going to cut them into very small pieces. You can put them in a blender; it’s quicker also. And if you don’t have a blender, you chop them as fine as you want, and then you can deep freeze them, and after two hours or so, you can take them out and eat as sorbet already, chunky sorbet. You make whatever sorbet you like, according to what fruit's available. Actually, most of the fruit, you can make sorbet. They will all taste nice. We’re going to make a little special sorbet without fruit. You put like one cup or one mug of soya milk, into the blender, three tablespoons of brown sugar. Not more. And then a handful of peppermint already washed in salty water. Now slow and quick, just a couple of seconds. That’s enough. You don’t want to liquefy the peppermint. It will taste better if it has chunks of peppermint in it. And then, you pour it into any cup or container, or mold that you like and put it in the fridge also. We are waiting for two hours. So this is the summer feast that I have prepared. By the way, even the fruit, you should wash them in salty water to clean away all the bad elements - toxin, or maybe insecticide, anything that could be harmful to your health. Whether you eat it raw or you will cook them, you should always soak them 3-5 minutes first in salty water. And then rinse them with clean water for 2-3 times.

Whoever wants to run around and has a chance. (I would also follow You, Master, because I am single, and I would like to follow You everywhere.) Why? (Because I love You.) Oh, thanks! That's a nice answer. I love you too. (Master, I would just love to serve God.) You are very nice. We can think about that. It's always the same. I don't really need anything. Because of you, I need you. Otherwise, there's nothing much really that I need, do I? Suppose you are not here, what do I need you for? But thanks. Thanks anyway. You are very kind to want to help. Because my life is always like a whirlwind. There's always an emergency, especially lately, because the whole universe is changing so fast. So, suppose, even if I take you with me, I don't know how to manage. Just space problem! Otherwise, the heart is big. But if I am free, I will see about it, OK? And not all of you can. Even then, not all of you can go, because sometimes the affinity is different. The maya tied all already, everywhere already. Everywhere, everybody's kind of tied up a little bit. A little bit. Some are bigger, and some smaller, but a little tied up somewhere. But never mind, write all your names down. Who knows? "...with you, my love, I'd like to go! Thither, thither!"

Somalia benefits from debt reduction, Sweden funds human rights education in Cambodia, report shows renewable energy growing speedily worldwide, Welsh government introduces single-use plastic ban, United States to adopt new cigarette packaging to discourage smoking, importance of plant protein research recognized in Australia, and Turkey urges municipalities to feed stray animals during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Today, we’ll learn more from Mr. Keisar’s book “In Front of the Blind,” or “Velifnei Iver Hashalem.” “Rabbi Avraham Saba: ‘Based on the complete and whole view, kindness of God who is good to all of His creations; a person should realize that the purpose of the milk from an animal mother’s breast is to nourish her baby and not for the individual to do as they please.’” “Maimonides states, ‘There is no distinction between anguish experienced by a human and anguish experienced by animals; this is because the love and yearning of a mother for its offspring is not dependent upon intelligence, rather it is the inherent nature found in most creatures as it is found in man.’” “Harav Yitzchak Habanstreit: ‘One should know, aside for the fact that it is inappropriate for man to eat meat with regard to tradition, ethics, religion and wisdom; it is also unnatural because man is unfit to eat meat as is proven by the analysis of a person’s organs.’” “But this is not the case with the natural tendency towards vegetables and fruit of the tree and the like. These produce strong natural feelings and call to us in a loving way: ‘Wondrous to behold and good to eat.’ A great desire awakens in their midst to taste the fruits and eat their fresh as they were created. Is this not enough proof that these are the natural foods for a person?”

A lot of what is produced globally in terms of clothing will not end up being recycled. That means a massive amount of fabric waste goes to landfills every years, polluting our soils and oceans. In order to tackle this issue, companies and start-ups have been working hard to offer technological solutions for a circular approach to fashion. Ryan Mario Yasin, Arabella Turek, Fanny Lefebvre-Nare, and Alicia Martinez-Rodriguez from UK-based Petit Pli have come up with an ingenious idea by combining Japanese origami folding techniques with space engineering. “Clothes That Grow” can accompany the growing size of a baby from 9 months up to 4 years of age. Apart from that, the outfits produced by this wearable technology company are windproof and waterproof, and all are made from recycled fabrics. German-based Circular. Fashion has invented a way to tag a circular identification, or circularity. ID on any piece of garment, making it easier for customers to trace the whole life cycle of their products. We give heartfelt thanks to all the wonderful tech innovators for making the fashion industry circular and eco-friendly for the benefit of all beings on this precious, life-giving planet.

Today, we will continue to introduce her (Joan) publication and explore other beneficial aspects of art therapy. “The book came out of wanting to let other busy people know that this is something they could do and add to any spiritual practice they have or anything really. So it’s letting people re-own that they have this creative spirit and re-own that child that desperately wants to play and enjoy life, rather than kind of see it as a drudgery.” “Because it opened up such a world for me and changed my attitude towards my own life, I wanted to invite other people, other busy people that would never consider playing with art materials, playing period, really. So that’s why I came up with the idea of offering playshops. I want to keep it light, but it’s always therapeutic when you do something and have fun.” “Imagery is evocative. So, if you ask someone to do something with imagery, it’s pulling from that inner self and to me that’s how it connects to being more aware of your own projections, prejudices, and misconceptions. It clarifies how you see the world. You get more in touch with it. Everybody that has any kind of sense of spirituality, you understand the mind, body and all of that, but it really makes it real; it really makes it real.”

I like gardening very much. I like farming very much. One of the best jobs in the world is a farmer. Your farm has a house? (Yes, yes, it's quite big, this house. I have a special way of planting.) Organic. (Yes, so there are people coming from schools or universities. So, I invented some kind of method without machinery, and without plowing, without turning the soil.) Oh, really? But it's a pity if you close your farm, no? Continue your job. It's good. Next! Who's free to run around? (Hi, Master.) Hi! (It's my dream since my childhood to follow a Master. And my first touch with the spiritual groups was Yogananda's group... especially the part with Babaji and his group.) Babaji was one of the disciples of one of my Councils. And He attained 120 degree enlightenment instead of 100. Like Fifth Level. And He now resides in the Astral region. So, He can materialize any time into the physical body, any time, and He can stay as long as He wants, because He is in charge of taking care of the Astral and the physical region right now. His whole group is in the Astral! He can live in both worlds because He's in the special mission. He had been helping me before also, invisibly and also physically. Now, I promoted Him, chief, chief of the group, of this working group. (We have the chance to be Your disciple and be with You together. This is so great!) Good for you.

In today’s show, We are excited to introduce you to Pororo the Little Penguin, a popular Korean animated TV series for kids. This series was first released in 2003, and the final season finished in 2017, so that means many people watched it while growing up. It is considered to be one of the best kids' shows in Korea. Pororo is a blue and white penguin dressed in an aviator helmet and goggles. He dreams of flying. Pororo has several friends in the show who join him on his many adventures. Pororo's show is always full of adventure, excitement and thrills. Another message from Pororo, is that we should be curious, discover all we can about things that we are interested in, and that we should chase our dreams. Pororo and his friends treasure each other. They take good care of each other, and work collaboratively to overcome many challenges. Kids learn by tackling different problems and experimenting with different things. Their experiences help them relate to others. I think it's awesome that the animal friends of Porong Porong village are all equal, and no one is better than the other. Their carefree spirit has allowed us to enjoy the show, while sharing plenty of laughter and love.

The respected Asa Keisar is an Israeli religious scholar who’s on a mission of spreading veganism all across Israel and the world. Asa Keisar is a frequent lecture in universities, elementary and high schools, and yeshivot (Jewish educational religious institutions) throughout Israel. His speeches feature statements from the Holy Torah about the incorrectness of consuming animal products, especially in our modern world. Mr. Keisar is also the author of an important Jewish guide, “In Front of the Blind,” or “Velifnei Iver Hashalem.” Through straightforward holy laws, the selection clearly shows how humans must treat all animals, namely with care and mercy. “One must also have mercy upon animals because it is forbidden to cause undue pain or anguish to an animal. The attribute of mercy is the sign of the children of Abraham, the seed of Israel. As it is written, ‘He will give you mercy, be merciful and multiply you.’” “Rabbi Joseph Albo: ‘The consumption of flesh from living creatures gives birth to spiritual corpulence, murkiness and inflexibility of the soul...’” “Metzudat David: ‘The righteous person pays attention even to the needs of their animal to fulfill its craving - because God greatly values mercy.’”

“Then, there is a whole other category: the invisible animals, who we have a very close relationship with, and yet we fail to see them in our lives. We think of them as ‘our ribs’ or ‘wings,’ instead of the animal that they are. Or we think of them as a ‘fur trim’ instead of a fox or mink. These animals are completely invisible, and we use and abuse them worldwide every single day. And they aren’t represented anywhere; they’re invisible, we don’t see them in the media. And so, that became my mission: To illuminate the lives of these animals.” In 2013, Jo-Anne McArthur published her first book, “We Animals,” which was followed in 2017 by her second book entitled “Captive.” She has been awarded a range of commendations for her photography and activism, including the 2018 Wildlife Photographer of the Year, People’s Choice award. “For me, it was important to make a book specifically of this animal work to give it historical weight and significance, and not just to put the work out on social media.” “So, what we do with the images – and it’s not just me now, it’s several of us photographers and filmmakers – we put everything on the We Animals Archive. I think it’s the best thing we’ve ever done. There are about 12,000 video clips and photos of all sorts of industries in almost over 60 countries now, of our use and abuse, and sharing of space with animals. And the images are searchable by key word. And you get the high-res images for free. And again: it’s free.”

Patrick grew up in Southern California, USA, where he developed a strong affinity for the ocean. He also learned early on that communities of like-minded individuals can accomplish things that benefit the greater good. In 2012, he co-founded a nonprofit organization called the Global Mana Foundation to find solutions for global sustainability. Seven years later, Patrick started Projects for Good, a community aggregator platform that brings together ideas, finances, resources, and people to deal with social, economic, and environmental issues. He is dedicated to a cleaner Earth. Patrick has always had a deep love for the environment. This man of action sees his latest undertaking, Projects For Good (PFG), as a big step forward. With Projects for Good, one can also find assistance to accomplish their initiative by advertising paid or volunteer work related to the endeavor. Patrick sees no stopping. He believes the forward-thinking PEG model - where everyone is enabled to contribute to a higher cause - has powerful potential to significantly benefit our world and its inhabitants.

“When you go to the highest Fifth, like 140 - instead of 100 percent, 140 percent, then you don't fall. She's still a Buddha. Middle, middle. Be careful! Don't drink poison! No poison! No taking presents, no taking praises. Accept it, but credit it to God. That's the best. Because, there is something higher than you.” “Did you watch the film called ‘Bubble?’ (‘Bubble Boy’) About the kid who grows up inside the bubble, the big bubble, like a room. Because when he was young, he had some kind of disease... So his mother kept him in the bubble to protect him from infection. But as he grew up, he didn't need that anymore, but his mother still liked to keep him in there, like possessive, like the maya. Same in this world, the maya keeps us in the bubble of this world, and gives us everything. Gives us all kind of ... anything you want! Luxury and food and beautiful flowers, good scenery, beautiful women, handsome men, luxury cars, glittery gold, diamonds, all kinds of nonsense. But the moment you want to have enlightenment and freedom, you'll have trouble.” “What a happy family. (Yes!) I wish I could take you all, everywhere I go and feed you. Whoever has time to run around forever, raise hand. Tell me one by one. How do you have time to run around?”

The following lines are from Plato's work "Symposium," where Socrates recalls some of Diotima's accounts of Love. "Not even in the life, of the same individual there is succession and not absolute unity. Which is true not only of the body, but also of the soul, whose habits, tempers, opinions, desires, pleasures, pains, fears, never remain the same in anyone of us, but are always coming and going; and equally true of knowledge, and what is still more surprising to us mortals, not only do the sciences in general spring up and decay, so that in respect of them we are never the same; but each of them individually experiences a like change. For what is implied in the word ‘recollection,’ but the departure of knowledge, which is ever being forgotten, and is renewed and preserved by recollection, and appears to be the same although in reality new, according to that law of succession by which all mortal things are preserved, not absolutely the same, but by substitution, the old worn-out mortality leaving another new and similar existence behind unlike the divine, which is always the same and not another? " "But souls which are pregnant - for there certainly are men who are more creative in their souls than in their bodies, conceive that which is proper for the soul to conceive or contain. And what are these conceptions? - wisdom and virtue in general. And such creators are poets and all artists who are deserving of the name inventor. But the greatest and fairest sort of wisdom by far is that which is concerned with the ordering of states and families, and which is called temperance and justice."

In today’s program, we get a little more insight about what led Mr. Leon to the vegan diet. “I haven’t been a vegan or vegetarian for long, but I have been really working on throughout years to know and study. For me as a rapper and as a singer, I feel like, me going full vegan, and really showing my body that I care and I respect my body and respect Mother Earth more.”Mr. Leon is an independent thinker. “I would love to remix the future by changing anything and everything that’s harmful to your body, to your mind, and to your soul. I need to remix the future and I need help. And I want people around me, people that I know; people that know other people that are in the same like mind, to want to remix this future and do something different. Change the future.” We salute Mr. Leon for choosing to live a compassionate vegan lifestyle, and leading the way to a brighter future through positive and uplifting music. His music and songs always consist of very positive lyrics with inspiring messages. Now, let's listen to a song called “Humanity” by Grizz Leon and Frank C.
