“Vegetarianism is fairly common in the Netherlands. A study has shown that the number of vegetarians out of a population of nearly 16.5 million people increased from 560,000 in 2004 to 720,000 in 2006. The number of part-time vegetarians grew rapidly as well. Around 3.5 million Dutch citizens abstain from eating meat a few days a week.” Wow! “Thirty-one percent of Indians are vegetarians.” You know how much is that? Three hundred fifty plus million people! Bravo. I love India. “Meat consumption is dropping across Europe and now in the US.” “Demand for milk has been in a free-fall for decades. US milk consumption has dropped 36% since the 1970s.” (Wow!)

Wow, so many! So today, no story. We just read all these, huh? It’s wonderful. It’s a vegan trend in the world now. “German meat giant Rügenwalder Mühle has developed a full vegan product line, including vegan meatballs.” “‘7-Eleven,’ the world’s biggest convenience store just went vegan with its sandwich spread.” “Veganz, a German vegan supermarket chain has plans to expand across Europe and US.” “British Vegetarian Society reports that currently an average of 5,000 people a week become vegetarians in Britain.” “In Germany, the equivalent figure is 4,000 people a week. But with around 7,000,000 vegetarians, Germany currently has the highest number.” It’s wonderful, huh? Good news? (Yes!) You guys have been diligent. The media also has to be thanked. They spread all this news. So the people copy and want to do the same.

The vegetarian (vegan) trend is reported everywhere. "7-Eleven has quietly switched to vegan mayo." Wow! “Just Mayo, Hampton Creek Foods backed by VC (venture capital) firm Khosla Ventures, Bill Gates, and Li Ka-shing, richest man in Asia, have secured total funding for Hampton Creek, now at $120,000,000; $113,000,000 of which came about this year, 2014.” “Beyond Meat backed by Twitter’s co-founder Evan Williams and Biz Stone, leading VC firm Kleiner Perkins, an early investor of Amazon, Google, and Facebook." All these millionaires, billionaires, support these vegan trends. Isn’t that wonderful? (Yes.)

So, make sure that when you go out or inside your house, you keep your purity and love. When you go out, you go out with love, and purity, and recite the Five (Holy) Names or the Gift all the time. Then all beings will benefit from your love, all around you at least; whomever you meet will treat you with love in return. You will feel also love from them. I give them tip not because of money, but to spread love. In physical means, so that Hong Kong has more peace, more love. It’s not the money that I give. It’s the love and the peace through that gift. It’s not the food that I bring to them, it is the love that I give also.

Actually, humans should be the most merciful because we are the highest. As you can see, no other beings are more competent than us, right? Our minds are intelligent, and we can invent many high-tech tools to make our lives more and more comfortable. Animals cannot do that. They can only rely on nature. They rely on Heaven to give them food. I really wish our planet well, and the world will become more open, tolerant, and peaceful. For that, I am continuing to put in effort. Not just for humans only, but for the helpless and beautiful animals who share our world, but not share our privilege.

Over the decades, how much have I told you about loving others, and loving and respecting other sentient beings? Have I told you? (Yes.) You also know that recently, a few weeks ago, I went into retreat for animals. It's not like I didn't set an example of how I treat my dogs. Everybody knows how I treat my dogs, right? Whatever we do, just imagine it's us. Anything that we don't want to happen to ourselves or have other people do to us, then we don't treat others like that, and it would be OK. It's a very simple concept.

I’m trying to do my best for the rest of my time on this planet. And all of you also, do your best. Meditate as much as you can, because there’s nothing else better to do with your precious time, as a human on the planet. And also help each other, please. Help each other. Not only does the person receive the benefit of your love, but you, yourself, also benefit from it. Any time you help someone else, and other beings also, unconditionally, you rise up. Your soul rises up; your noble quality rises up; your love expands. And that should be very, very beneficial to you, and your family and your clans, the world. I’d like to stay as long as possible, just to help more, help the world, especially to stop the killing karma, so that the world becomes a peaceful, loving place for everyone to stay.

脳 思慮のない脳は コンピューターのようで 私達にとって 多くの問題も起こします この脳は複雑なシステムで 私達を助けますが 生活を複雑にもします

内面で開悟する だけでは良くありません 仏陀になるかどうか 誰が気にしますか 誰も助けないなら 愛を広げたり 意識や 智慧を広げて 些細な事のたびに 他の人を助けないのなら 他の人を助けないのなら 些細な事は重要です 大ごとは天が世話します

経験を共有したり 質問をしたい人は いますか 私がここにいる時 皆は人々とこれを 共有できます 私がいない時ではなく 話さない方がいいですね マスターがいる時だけです

だから 仏陀とキリスト どんな聖人も この世界にいる限り この世界の人々を 全ての衆生を救います 彼らのエネルギーは 涅槃の後 ３百 ５百年後 世界に残ります

なぜデーヴァ 天の存在は 数多くの衆生を救い 世界を救ったと 釈迦牟尼仏を 称賛したのでしょうか どうやって？ なぜ？ 誰か分りますか

マスターが世界にいる時 ただ弟子達を 解放するだけでなく 幾らか例外を除いて 一生の間に 全世界を開放します 解放できない人々を 皆に教えます

持って来ました 捧げる為に 鳥も同じです 彼らも 様々な贈り物を私に 持って来ました とにかく 長過ぎて話せません 多分 皆の犬の中にも 贈物を持って来てるかも でも皆には分りません ある犬は贈り物を 持って来ます 誰でも優しくしてくれた 人にそれを与えます

皆が愛するなら 彼らは 最高の姿を見せます 愛されなくても 彼らは 気にせず 無関心です 貴方は食べ物をくれる 僕はいてあげるよ ここにいるよ それだけ でも皆が本当に愛せば 皆は結びつきます

I have a Rottweiler. He's very naughty, so smart, very loving, very protective, very intelligent, and very snuggling, snuggling, but stubborn. He knows this is his house. He knows I love him. And if a smaller dog comes, he's very gentle. He plays tug of war with them with the toys, but he never really yanks them and runs away and all that. Never. And the small guy always wins, because he gives in. He's really cute when you observe. And he talks, and he's very protective. That's why when I first came here, the next day, he told the dogs here, "Take care of my Master." And they all came and sat in front of my trailer, waiting to say hallo.

One of my earlier monk acquaintances, maybe he was in the army or something. But he was in the whole group to be shot dead with another 12 or some more people, but he always repeated Quan Yin Bodhisattva all his life, even before he became a monk, just a normal monk, not a bhiksu, not a fully precepted monk. He did not die, he just fell down. Maybe later on, or maybe in other sutra, it says that whoever often respectfully recites the name of Quan Yin Bodhisattva with a pure heart and sincerity, fire won't burn him, water won't drown him, bullet cannot kill him. And so, he told me he believed it because it happened to him. Everybody else in the group died, but not him. The power of Quan Yin is very great. It depends also on your sincerity and karma.

So, the Quan Yin Bodhisattva continued, “‘World Honored One, because I served and made offerings to the Thus Come One, Quan Yin. So that Thus Come One transmitted the Vajra Samadhi of all being like an illusion, as one becomes permeated with hearing and cultivates hearing. Because I gained a power of compassion identical with that of all Buddhas, the Thus Come Ones, I became accomplished in 32 response-bodies and entered all lands.’” Means She became omnipresent. She could enter all lands at will, but not like the will of the human; the doing without doing, the will without will then. So, they pray and She hears everything. That’s why the Asian people, the Buddhist people, they trust the Quan Yin Bodhisattva very much, because She’s supposed to hear in all directions. She hears all the prayers and responds to them promptly.
