On Sunday, October 6, 2019, at the New Land in Taiwan, also known as Formosa, our Beloved Supreme Master Ching Hai kindly further explained to the gathering of our Association members, about the dangerous and unsafe method of physical practice, as it was a question still lingering in people’s minds.

In Her overflowing love for the world’s artists, Supreme Master Ching Hai invited celebrated artists who have worked with our Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association and Supreme Master Television in the past for a special friendly gathering on Tuesday, October 1, 2019.

United Nations climate change experts call for urgent reduction of meat consumption. In its “Climate Change and Land” report recently approved by world governments in Geneva, Switzerland, the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) urged for an immediate decrease in meat and dairy consumption as a key policy response to the global warming crisis. The panel of 107 leading scientists examined over 7,000 research studies and found that the vegan diet is highest in carbon mitigation potential, followed by the vegetarian diet. Notably, livestock rearing led to almost 75% of worldwide deforestation and massive production of heat-trapping methane gas. However, a plant-based diet can free up millions of square kilometers of land for carbon-absorbing forests and reduce up to eight gigatons of carbon emissions annually by 2050. Our gratefulness for your comprehensive study and vital recommendations, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. May all governments take swift and bold actions to promote the Earth-saving vegan lifestyle to their cherished citizens, in Heaven’s abiding care.

“Then there is a new way in which we arrive at the inference that the living come from the dead, just as the dead come from the living; and if this is true, then the souls of the dead must be in some place out of which they come again. And this, as I think, has been satisfactorily proved.” “Yes, Socrates,” he said, “all this seems to flow necessarily out of our previous admissions.” “And that these admissions are not unfair, Cebes,” He said, “may be shown, as I think, in this way: If generation were in a straight line only, and there were no compensation or circle in nature, no turn or return into one another, then you know that all things would at last have the same form and pass into the same state, and there would be no more generation of them.”

Hi, my name is Iñaki and I work as a scuba diving instructor in Byron Bay, Australia. Now in winter, we are diving with a grey nurse shark. It was a beautiful day in Byron Bay, until we went underwater and saw this. A 2-meter Grey Nurse Shark with a long piece of netting rope stuck between its jaws. A slow, painful death awaited this shark, if not removed. I knew I had to help the shark. I was radiant to be able to get such a deadly net off its jaws. Seconds later the shark returned with a buddy, and looked me in the eyes, as if to say thank you! Well, I havebeen vegetarian for the last ten years. Since then, my life is very healthy, always clear mind. And I even feel that animals have a different interaction with myself.

Mr. Winchester Lemen has a vision for the plastic we may use just once and then dump. This innovator has created adorable and sturdy chairs, school desks, and tables out of plastic refuse. For 6 years, he worked on developing a way to make a product out of soft plastics, particularly plastic wrappers, such as detergent and shampoo sachets. This material always ended up in landfills as no one else in the recycling industry wanted it. Not only did Mr. Lemen succeed, what he perfected is considered a major step forward in plastic recycling technology.

Now, we have the next one, “Universal Worthy Bodhisattva,” “‘I have been a Dharma prince with as many Thus Come Ones as there are sands in the Ganges.’ ‘The Thus Come Ones, of the ten directions tell Their disciples who have the roots of a Bodhisattva to cultivate the Universal Worthy conduct, which is named after me.’ ‘World Honored One, I use my mind to listen and distinguish the knowledge and views of living beings. In other regions, as many Realms away, as there are sands in the Ganges, if there is any living being who discovers the conduct of Universal Worthy, I immediately mount my six-tusked elephant and create hundreds of thousands of reduplicated bodies which go to those places. Although their obstacles may be so heavy that they do not see me, I secretly rub their crowns, protect and comfort them, and help them be successful.’” Successful in cultivating the Universal Worthy conduct.

Plato’s works display truly great mastery in the art of literature as well as profound philosophical understanding. He wrote at least 30 dialogues in which His Master Socrates guides His students through illuminating question-and answer exchanges. In today’s episode, we present a glimpse of the engaging dialogue between Socrates and His disciples Cebes and Simmias about the connectedness between opposing natural processes, such as life and death, and how they are each generated from one another. “…He who passes unsanctified and uninitiated into the world [beyond] will live in a slough but he who arrives there after initiation and purification will dwell with the gods.”

Today we’ll hear some accounts of near-death experiences from renowned heart surgeon, Dr. Lloyd Rudy, interviewed by Dr. Michael Milligan, president of the American Academy for Oral Systemic Heath. And all of a sudden! Nobody spoke. Because everybody in that room felt a ‘presence.’ And he stopped bleeding just like that. What is your take on that, Dr. Rudy? Oh, there’s something out there that people with faith, believers, is there. Some people call it God, some people call it other things, Buddha, or (Prophet) Mohammed (Peace Be Upon Him), or whoever. It has convinced me there is something out there.

Sadha has been a vegetarian since 2012, and she chose to do so, because she didn’t actually enjoy the taste, and she definitely did not appreciate the killing involved. “I quit having red meat when I just saw an animal being sacrificed at a festival, and it just broke my heart. I felt no living being need to go through that amount of fear and pain for me to satisfy my taste buds.” Sadha’s kind acts to animals was recognized and acknowledged by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India. She received PETA’s Hero to Animals Award for rescuing a puppy, who had been hit by a car, and then changing her travel plans, so that she could care for it.

Saripurtra, “‘The Buddha asks about perfect penetration. As I have been certified to it, for the mind and the seeing to emit Light and for the Light to reach throughout knowing and seeing is the foremost method.’” So, I think he meditated on the (inner Heavenly) Light only. See? Nobody had the Quan Yin Method yet, not yet. And those who’re too sensitive to their ego, carrying the ego all over the place, will never go anywhere. Just a lot of work for the Master and for themselves in this lifetime. Because if you don’t progress, you also have problems in your life. And then you blame the Master doesn’t help you; you blame the situation makes you bad; you blame everybody else; blame God even. You don’t look inside yourself, don’t clean yourself. That is the problem.

There is no limit to the mercy and courage of the Great Savior, who willingly and lovingly undergoes suffering to pay the price of humanity's karmic debts. We know only an extreme minute fraction of Her innumerable, unimaginable sufferings, visible and invisible, which the strongest mortal could never withstand. As the prophet Nam Sa-go expressed: "She will bear extreme suffering of flesh and bone to rescue enemies and evil enemies." Following are testimonies from our Association members who have had glimpses of Supreme Master Ching Hai's incredible Self-Sacrifice for all beings, good or bad. We could never adequately honor or express our gratitude for what Supreme Master Ching Hai had done, and continues to do, to rescue and lift up all souls. We pray all humans someday have the blessing of awareness and appreciation for Her priceless spiritual gift.

From His stripping on, Francis will not put a penny in His pocket and will ask the friars to do the same. And so in this place, it remains clear that it is not true that what makes the world turn is money, but it is love. It must be so. We have not been created for the good of this world, but the good of this world is at the service of the human being, especially those who need it most. And so, Francis will help us to rediscover the joy of being children of God and brothers of all. Peace and love.

(Have You always known that You were from higher than the Fifth level? From even before You were enlightened, then…) Before enlightened, no. Just like the journey, OK. The journey to my house from here…here, house, huh? And you were alongside here, here, here, yeah? So I was there with you. But I’m going and I’m taking you, and you will be here on the Fifth, and I go up. Understand? So, I know it or not, I was there with you, so that I can take you. It wasn’t my job, but I was there because I was doing the job there. So before that, I was with you down here, and then I’m going up now.

Our prayer is a heart-search. It is a reminder to ourselves that we are helpless without His support. No effort is complete without prayer, without a definite recognition that the best human endeavor is of no effect if it has not God’s blessings behind it. These are moments when one reviews one’s immediate past, confesses one’s weaknesses, asks for forgiveness and strength to be and to do better. I believe that prayer is the very soul and essence of religion and therefore prayer must be the very core of the life of man… Begin, therefore, your day with prayer and make it so soulful that it may remain with you until evening. Close the day with prayer so that you may have a peaceful night free from dreams and nightmares.

Since around AD 600, the pre-Hispanic Mayan farming village of Joya de Cerén slept undisturbed beneath thick layers of ash four to eight meters deep. offering us a unique window into the past. With much of the Joya de Cerén yet to be excavated, each new discovery provides evidence of the ancient Mayans’ wealth of wisdom. The investigations tell us a story of a very well organized and spiritual farming community that is part of a more intricate network of cities, villages, and settlements. Moreover, the discoveries have helped researchers link some modern-day customs and practices to the ancestral activities and beliefs from which they began.

Air taxis can be sustainable, comfortable vehicles for making short flights across congested cities. Besides being able to avoid busy street-level traffic, they can take off from and land on short runways or helipads. Today, we’ll find out what kinds of eco-friendly flying taxis will soon be available. Kitty Hawk’s operator Zephyr Airworks recently formed a partnership with Air New Zealand to bring the first fleet of air taxis to market. Mr. Yifang Xiong, co-founder of EHang, said, “The EHang 216, which can seat tow passengers, has been tested comprehensively and is essentially ready for mass production.”

You go to wherever you attain. If you are Third Level at the time of death, you go to the Third Level, or I elevate you a little bit more. After you die, I give you one level more. You have choice because you are a free, free soul. When you go, for example, to Third Level, you are free already, and you can choose to stay there as a Third Level citizen forever. But the Third World is not forever. The Third World is the free world. It's a spiritual, also free world, but it's not made to stay forever. The Fourth Level is forever. The Fifth Level is forever.
