Besides enjoying the music played by people, we animals are brilliant at playing the piano, drums, and other instruments to create our own melodies. This horse is tickling the keys like no other. Just like some of the jazz greats, a terrific freestyle piece on the keyboard! Nora（a cat）, an animal shelter rescuee originally from New Jersey, USA, is famous for her piano concertos. She plays daily much to the delight of her caregiver Betsy Alexander, a piano teacher. She even plays duets with her human friends!

The Benedictine Abbey of Admont was founded in 1074 by Archbishop Gebhard of Salzburg. It is now the oldest remaining monastery in Styria, Austria, and one of the largest neo-Gothic sacred buildings in the country. The name Admont comes from the Latin word “ad montes,“ which means “at the mountains.” Situated amidst the gorgeous mountains of Gesäuse National Park, the magnificent Admont Abbey gloriously represents the Rule of St. Benedict of Nursia: “So that in all things God may be glorified!”

In 2013 the sisters Melati and Isabel Wijsen, aged 12 and 10, started the Bye Bye Plastic Bags movement to minimize plastic waste on Bali and around the world. After gathering volunteer teams from schools all over the island, they started signature petitions, offered educational presentations at schools, met with people at markets and festivals, and organized beach clean-ups to raise awareness, and distributed reusable bags. This is our vision. We want Bali to be a free-of-plastic-bags island. We can do it, definitely. Yes!

Scientists and engineers around the world are learning from our animal co-inhabitants and from bacteria about their skill in movement and are mimicking them to develop robots that can have a positive impact on the fields of humanitarian and medical aid. Today we’ll examine how these devices can help humans and animals in times of need or emergency. MIT’s Cheetah project was initiated to create a robot that is flexible, and capable of running, jumping, and landing safely like a cheetah. Besides nanorobots capable of swimming inside our bodies, tiny robots capable of crawling are also being studied by medical engineers and researchers.

We feel we are quite unique and very intelligent. For example, scientists have concluded our smarts to be comparable to that of the powerful vegan primate, the wise gorilla. We are also known to be very sensitive to our surroundings. For example, our species can sense the change in the air when heavy winds and rains are on their way. As a result, we become more active and expressive in our movements, chasing each other around playfully thus causing ripples and waves on the river’s surface. Local humans who have been astute enough to pay attention to us have been able to predict the coming of a storm whenever they see us act in this way.

He tells how, as his soul returned to Earth, he learned many lessons. I saw how people affected one another and how every tree and every plant and every butterfly and every bee, are souls or spirits and that they affect everything around them. If you’re filled with light and love and kindness and joy, then your love and kindness and joy are going to go around you like in a wave. Everybody is blending together into this plant that I call Earth. It’s almost like a plant. The Earth is just one being itself and we’re parts of it. People think of love kind of like a girlfriend, boyfriend, husband, wife, love, but it’s not like that. Love is our kindnesses towards one another.

He just wanted me to gather up my life review because I was going to go to be judged. And so, I followed him into a cloud room. And there were alcoves off to each side of the hallway. And inside of the hallway, there was a book, and it would stand out. And when you looked at the book, it would be the story of a butterfly, the story of a spider. It might be the story of a person, there whole life. And it would just open up in 3D. You’d just see it. It was like you were there, you’re experiencing it. But what I understood was that every beetle, every butterfly, every spider, every person, every tree has a book. I was led to my life and the place where my life story was opened up.

Benjamín Solari Parravicini, who was a devout Catholic, predicted the Second Coming of Lord Jesus Christ and His reign of peace. “After the great trial of Chaos in Chaos, The WORLD WILL KNOW LOVE in charity of love. CHRIST WILL BE IN IT - AND PEACE WILL BE - IT WILL BE IN 2002! ELEVATION OF THE EARTH 2002 GLORY TO CHRIST!” In the early 2000s, Supreme Master Ching Hai indeed was meditating intensively for the world’s elevation. Supreme Master Ching Hai then proclaimed the year 2004 as Golden year 1, marking the start of the New Golden Age! "1,000 years of peace will finally come."

Through life, we are fortunate to encounter admirable souls who inspire others simply with their saint-like qualities. One such individual was Peace Pilgrim, who became a proselytizer for non-violence in an era that did not subscribe to her views. Walking on foot across the United States seven times over a span of 28 years, she endeavored to encourage others to pursue their own inner peace. She knew that by creating a grassroots passive movement, the country could collectively shift towards peaceful living. She knew that people were inherently good, and needed someone to awaken them to their own higher peaceful nature.

In September 2018, as the Carolinas were facing long-lived and powerful Hurricane Florence, the volunteers of Lucky Dog Animal Rescue rushed to the animal shelters in South Carolina that were in danger of being flooded and transported the animal residents north even before the storm struck. Lucky Dog Animal Rescue's story was covered by a dozen local and national media outlets, including the Washington Post and Fox News, warming the hearts of those affected by the hurricane. Supreme Master Ching Hai was touched by the loving, courageous deeds of Lucky Dog Animal Rescue and honored the organization's founder and executive director Ms. Mirah Horowitz and her team with the Shining World Hero Award along with a contribution of US$ 30,000.

Jay and Katja Wilde were ready to turn to Bradly Nook Farm to a vegan organic farm. But what would become of the 73 cows living there? With the help of The Vegan Society, they discussed their options. “The Hillside in Norfolk can take the entire herd altogether at one go. Calves and cows can stay together, and all the family groups can be preserved. It’s can absolutely sort of dream outcome, which is the ultimate dream for me, really.” In fact , the success of “73 Cows” shows that people are ready to shift to a more compassionate vegan world.

Animals are inherently spiritual and always connected to God, and Dr. Du says they too may leave behind relics after passing. It’s very easy for animals to have luminous relics. Either a stone-like relic or a flower-like relic. Dogs and cats understand the truth. They are very straight, very innocent. They come to help people. So, their world is very simple. Animals are actually afraid of pressure or stress. Don’t say, “Mommy loves you so much.” Don’t just say you love them. In their world, “I love you even if you don’t love me.” Love is not possessive! Love should mean seeing the needs of the other person only. That is real love.

Guelaguetza represents the longstanding, great occasion where native Oaxacans worshipped the ancient goddess of maize “Xilonen.” In order to pray for a bountiful harvest in the coming months, the people would gather and hold ceremonies and rituals. The modern-day festival is dedicated to the goddess of maize called “Centeotl”. The word “Guelaguetza” comes from a Zapotec term meaning “reciprocal exchange of gifts and services.” In other words, it is an event celebrating the spirit of sharing and giving, which is what makes a family, community, and county strong.

When we love the animals, our love will naturally develop. Those of you who are taking care of dogs, birds, or other pets, know how it’s like. When you are with them, and when you look at them, you just want to love them. You can’t think of anything else, and there is nothing you can do about it. You just want to love them and pamper them. Then, naturally your home is permeated with this ambience of love. It will engulf our whole house, our home, and eventually it will spread to the world. If there is such a loving atmosphere in every home, the world will definitely be in peace.

Letting everybody know that we are the world and that we have to make the change first in order to see the change in the world. “Little Lambs Want to Go Home,” presented by Association members from Formosa(Taiwan) and all the performers. Herds of sheep are going home. The stars are twinkling. The little lambs follow their mother. Fear not, fear not. I have lit the lanterns. We are all good friends. Let us hold our hands. Do not miss out on the good times. Remember always the times of joy. Wonderful times linger not a moment. Time flies! Seize the moment!

Our next feature is the 2002 British documentary entitled “ The Day I Died, ” produced and directed by Kate Broome. Since Dr. Raymond Moody published his famous book “ Life after Life ” in 1975, many researchers all over the world have recorded thousands of cases involving near-death experience and their after-effects. This documentary includes extensive narratives of people who have had such an experience. Many report feeling pure peace and love, as well as seeing bright light or the “Being of Light,” and when they come back to life, they no longer fear death.

If you’ve never heard a kookaburra singing, just think of your laughter after hearing a really funny joke. That gives you an idea of the echoing sound of the ever-chuckling kookaburra! In indigenous Australian culture, kookaburras are viewed as emotionally fragile birds. Making fun of us can hurt our feelings, thus taking away our joyous laugh which serves to wake up our world. It is believed that great respect should be shown to us at all times to keep harmony and happiness on our planet.
