Ultimately, the solution is simple. Our parents or grandparents weren’t buying all these products, and they lived a much simpler life, which was in tune with seasons, with the environment. And that’s what we need to get back to if we want to try to preserve a little bit of our resources. Beyond the question of recycling, there is also the cost of energy that must be used. It is up to us as consumers to make choices that are responsible, by focusing on buying products that are more environmentally friendly. This message of conservation and the urgent need to act for the preservation of our planet has been echoed time and again by Supreme Master Ching Hai.

Antoine has received much acclaim for his four-year project entitled “#365 Unpacked,” a series of photographic masterpieces featuring recyclable waste. In this series of photographs, he presents to us the 365 kilograms of waste that we, on average, individually produce over the course of a year. Actually, we can’t picture it. The strength of this project is to bring this issue down to a much smaller scale. To allow people to understand it, “Oh yes, indeed, I too contribute in spite of myself, to this massive production of packaging and waste.” Do we really have to generate all that quantity?

I look forward and my intention is to create music to bring forth and through music that is serving the highest and best in the listener, that will help create more peace and harmony on the planet. Now through streaming services and iTunes et cetera, people who didn’t know they had a spiritual essence, they are accessing that when they listen to music like Chakra Suite or Deep Alpha or Deep Theta. That’s certainly what you work at Supreme Master TV is dealing with, is bringing that experience to people and making it available, giving the information and the tools.

We will continue to learn about the talented and wise King Ly Thanh Tong who governed the nation with love and mercy.

Her friendship with Hungary was instrumental in attaining peace with Austro-Hungarian dual monarchy. At heart, she was a tender, spiritual being who wished to live simple life. her poetry reflects her spirit - sensitive and spiritual, carried out only good works and longed for higher realms, perceiving the essence of things.

In all the King’s policies, the peace and happiness of the citizens came first. During the period of poor harvest resulting in the loss of crops, the King would exempt taxes and even open the royal storehouse to distribute rice, money and fabrics to the needy. The reason the King deeply emphathized with the citizens was that while as a crown prince, He was asked by His king father, to stay in the Long palace in the suburb so that he could live close to the people. Therefore, He understood very well their hard life and difficulties.

If you can, you turn on the machine to wash your clothes yourself. And you can clean the floor, help her to wash dishes, tidy up the house. Don’t throw socks and hats everywhere.

The stronger you grow, the weaker Mom becomes, so try to think about her feelings, her physical condition and give a lot, a lot of love to the mother, and father of course.

The exquisite sounds of the mandolin resonate back over a millennium, with recorded instances of mandolin music from the Medieval period (500-1400AD), up to the Renaissance (1400-1600), through the Baroque period (1600-1740AD) and onwards, to our current era. In Medieval times, the lute, a precursor to the modern mandolin, was widely played and appreciated. One branch of its evolution was the mandore, which arose in the Renaissance period and in turn, during the Baroque period, brought forth what we now call the mandolin.

Although there are many variations, the mandolin generally has a hollow wooden body that includes a soundboard with a teardrop shape. Today, the mandolin plays a vital role in both orchestral and bluegrass music. As Mr. Nigel Woodhouse, a professional mandolinist who has played with many world-renowned orchestras and ensembles, explains: “… the mandolin has two of each string; they’re close pairs intended to be played as one string. It’s the doubling of the strings which gives the mandolin its particular resonance and sustain.”

Through pure notes, harmonious chords, different tempos and rhythms, composers fill our imagination and emotions with their music. One such composer was Ludwig van Beethoven. He was born in Germany in 1770 and lived until 1827. In his early 20s, he moved to Vienna, where he studied with other gifted musicians Franz Joseph Haydn, Johann Georg Albrechtsberger, and Antonio Salieri. From this point on, he was recognized as a virtuoso of the piano.

The instruments’ sounds are inspired from higher realms within. Artists are often viewed as half-saints, because they bring celestial music to this Earth for us to enjoy. Piano music has its beginnings in the Baroque period between 1600 and 1750. Baroque music is characterized by an energetic rhythm. One of the most important composers of the Baroque period is Bach. The mid 18-century heralded the Classical Period, piano music of this time focused on the exploration of the major-minor system. Among the most loved classical composers of this period was Mozart.

All true artists are love incarnate. They are here to give life, plenty of sun-shining smiles on countless faces and hearts. We must love them. We must honor them. Whatever we can so-called help them, it’s just to contribute to show gratitude to what they offer to our world. Because what they offer is more than material value. We cannot buy their art. Actually, we cannot pay anything that the artistic do during their out-of-this-world inspiration. I myself, if there is a company I’ll be glad to be with all the time, it shall be the genuine, kind, talented artists and their art lovers.

In December 2010, during the COP16 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Cancún, Mexico, a special artistic event was held. “The Greenest Heroes Gala” celebrated champions of the environment in halting global warming through the vegan way. As the event was organized in a short time, the guest stars didn’t have much time to make arrangements but stopped everything for the noble cause of saving the planet. Deeply touched by their enthusiastic support, Supreme Master Ching Hai spontaneously invited them to a cordial vegan brunch just hours before the gala.

Art is something from God, or art is something from humans. Artists are those who can give that, who totally give in to that. Therefore, these artists are a very important group of people. They should be recognized, I think. It is something great, that these is such an opportunity, such a recognition. When I heard that Supreme Master Ching Hai had created International Artist Day, I thought it was such a brilliant idea. It's clearly a huge step in the right direction for creating a more creative world.
