The spiritual life of the Yezidis has been preserved primarily by oral tradition. Therefore, it is a living religion of the spirit which only recently has been recorded into texts. But there are guardians of the sacred textual tradition of Yezidism, and they are called the Qewwals, literally meaning “professionals of the world.” The Qewwals are the interpreters of the sacred textual tradition of Yezidism, touring the communities living some way away from Lalish in Iraq, which is the most sacred place to the Yezidis. In the presence of an image of the Peacock symbolizing the venerated deity Tawusi Melek, the Qewwals preach sermons and sing hymns while playing the holy instruments of Yezidism: the def (tambourine) and shibab (flute).

Veggie Channel is a comprehensive resource platform for people looking for the most up-to-date information on the science and practice of living plant-based. It was at this moment, in 2008, that Veggie Channel was born, covering topics such as iron intake, vitamin B12, protein, omega-3 fatty acids, calcium and osteoporosis, how one becomes vegan and master online vegetarian nutrition. I congratulate the Veggie Channel doing this kind of work, and that is basically educating the public. And that’s what we most need.

So all of these lives and the body has been reborn and died, reborn and died, it was a waste, waste of time, waste of a body. It has not been offered to seek the Truth, to attain enlightenment. Therefore, all these bodies have been such a waste. So, this time I want to nail my body to offer to the master to search for Buddhahood. So at this time, I do this to offer my body in order to become Buddha. To use this merit toward Buddhahood. So do not stop me because I do this also for you, for all of you. When I become Buddha, I will liberate you first, enlighten you first. This is a very great merit. It’s a very great cause. So do not try to deter me.

The Yezidi people are a unique ethno-religious group possessing an ancient and richly elaborate religious tradition. In fact, they believe that all the world’s religions originated from the same primeval faith. Some Yezidis maintain that "Yezidi" translates as "Followers of the true path." It is also very close to the Persian or Zoroastrian word Yazdan, meaning “God,” and Yazata, meaning “divine” or “angelic being.” The Yezidis believe their ancestors were the first people to be created in the Garden of Eden, a large area in present-day Lalish in Iraq.

If we pay attention to our dreams, they can play a beneficial role in our lives. Mr. Kevin Todeschi tell us why. Dreams are important even if we don’t pay attention to them. So, for example, many people have had the experience where they go to bed and they’re anxious or they’re worried or they’re upset and they wake up feeling fine. And basically, what has happened is the dreams have contrasted and correlated the events of the day, and made some resolutions for you. And so subconsciously the process is helpful even if we don’t remember. But if we remember, then we can get insights into what it is our subconscious mind has figured out. And Cayce would say that you could get insights for everything, that your dreams can give you answers to anything.

“Dogs are able to recognize our good heart.” “Dogs think similarly to us; they differ only because they cannot speak.” “Dogs give people a sense of responsibility, happiness, and the fact that they are sensitive.” It shows me that there is nothing else but to raise kids’ awareness and to enjoy this world, to enjoy joy and love. Tom’s focus is on instilling a deep sensitivity in Polish youth for the feelings and needs of all living beings. Change the next generation so that we can have a better life on earth.

"If being born, then will die." What a truth for 1,000 holes in the body. And then after the king heard already, he told them to copy and then give to people and he asked his subordinate to light the lamp on his body. When the flames came up very high all over his body, his face was still very pacified. He didn’t complain. He just was as normal. He didn’t change his attitude or appearance. And then he vowed, he said in front of everyone, “I have suffered like this for the Truth, to request the Truth. I vow to use this merit for the Buddhahood. After I become a Buddha, I will use this bright wisdom to destroy all the darkness in this world for all beings to benefit.”

In his prophecy book, Nom Sa-go said that the Holy Savior would have three different “appearances,” each at a different stage in time. “The Being appears, the Being appears, and the True Being appears; three times, three destinies, as arranged by Heaven.” “In the first appearance, He/She is arranged to appear as a human in the world of human beings, and the first birth will take place in fire (Heavenly Light) in a year of the dragon or snake.” Nam Sa-go even knew that the Saint would not take birth by humans’ normal way, but be born within the Light. Thus, the Saint would enter the body of an infant without the process of birthing. When Supreme Master Ching Hai entered Her body to first manifest Herself to the world, it was 1952, indeed a year of the dragon, according to the Chinese zodiac.

During His meditation, Swami Vivekananda concluded that only with the renewal and restoration of the people’s highest spiritual consciousness could India rise again. He reminded them: “Religion is not in books, nor in theories, nor in dogmas, nor in talking, not even in reasoning. It is being and becoming.” “You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.”

One day the king sat on his throne and was thinking thus: “Concerning physical comfort and material satisfaction, one day it will disappear. Any material things will disappear or kaput. It’s not a lasting happiness. So, I would like for myself and all beings to have lasting bliss and happiness. Then I really have to go and find an enlightened master to teach me the Truth. Otherwise, it won’t work.”And the Brahmin said, “If you want to hear the teaching, the true teaching, then you have to bore 1,000 holes on your body.”And the Brahmin said, “If you want to hear the teaching, the true teaching, then you have to bore 1,000 holes on your body.”

Today we are able to see through and become monks, the “seeing through” is important. What exactly do we see through? We see through “the seven affections and five desires.” We do not desire the “appearance, sound, smell, taste, feeling and thought” within the basic necessities of life, and we see through all affections - affections from our parents, affections from our spouse, we have to put them all down! When we are practicing diligently, we have to put down our body and mind completely. Otherwise even if we appear to be sitting there quietly and solemnly, actually we are having all kinds of illusionary thoughts, and it’s difficult to keep focused on the right state of mind.

Today’s show, Part 2 of 3, will feature individuals and animal friends who were honored for their noble deeds. In Brazil, a couple was bestowed with the Shining World Earth Protection Award for replanting an entire forest. In the United States, Tanner Wilson, a teenager from Arkansas, was conferred the Shining World Generosity Award.

In Japan, an Akita dog named Mame was also bestowed with the Shining World Hero Award for helping rescue a woman in her 90s.

I think that plant-based eating helps what we call the endothelium - the lining of the artery helping blood flow smoothly through the arteries. I make it a point at each patient visit, unless there’s somebody who is critically ill, I make it a point to incorporate something about lifestyle, and also to find out what their eating style is. And I think if you really talk to people, and you give them the information, you’d be surprised. People who have knowledge and know that doing something is going to be good for their health and help them to feel better and live longer.

Brahma god, the god of the Third World, the highest level in the Third, in our physical spiritual dimension. Lower, physical spiritual dimension, even Brahma came and begged the Buddha, the enlightened Master to teach, to enlighten him and all his heavenly beings, not just the humans, not just this physical level. Because Brahma also one day kaput; when his time’s gone, his world also will be dissolved just like our planet one time, or not. You see? So, he came and begged the Buddha.
