Supreme Master Ching Hai explained why seals are so vital to our planet during a 2009 interview with the Irish journalist Louise Kings. “The seals have conveyed that it is important for them to be allowed to stay on Earth - not for themselves, but so they can continue doing their job, which is to keep the Earth in balance with love. You see, the seals and the whales emanate an incredible, great power of divine love, an unconditional love that could be likened to that between a mother and her child. They anchor and distribute this wave of love across our planet. And it is this love that is sustaining our planet and keeping it from destruction up to now. So , we should never ever hunt and kill these noble, gracious helpers of humankind and the planet.”

Everything that is involved in the production of meat generates, in the process from the beginning to the end, a carbon footprint impossible to compare with other types of food production worldwide. The FAO(Food and Agriculture Organization) already knows about this.Another very important issue is pesticides, which are killing the bees and all other pollinators. If bees disappear, we humans will also disappear within a 10-year period. In other words, insect are needed to pollinate. We must move towards banning any kind pesticide that harms humanity. Because if bees get harmed, we are also harming ourselves.

Also, the contamination is affecting health. Agriculture must increasingly be focused on what food means to people, and we must reduce more and more, the exclusive foods, meaning agriculture exclusively done to feed livestock. We must advance because this in not sustainable. It is not a matter of opinion, it is already a matter of real information. All lines of political work, at least in our organization, are focused on that: sustainable feeding (of humans) and sustainable agriculture, local agriculture, agriculture that respects times, respects seasons, and respects local seeds.

The power of the theater is therapeutic. I have been able to work with persons with disabilities, and it has really empowered them, give them the confidence and the capacity to overcome their difficulties. To dig, in spite of any limitation, whether it’s financial or physical, that they have some talent, the gold mine of talent that must be discovered, must be trained to that they can cope with their realities and transform their realities. And they are able to perform beyond their limitations because they are synergized with equally young people in difficult circumstances, either indigenous youth or out-of-school youth.

We would like to introduce a loving organization dedicated to saving vulnerable homeless companion and farm animals and building no-kill shelter communities. “No-kill” shelters will not put down animals to maintain space and believe it is not right to euthanize them to keep population numbers low. Why is a traditional dog and cat rescue group talking about climate change? Why we are talking about veganism? Why we are talking about mass species extinction? All of this is covered in our “Save the Animals, Save the Earth” campaign.

For the “Youth in Iceland” program to be successful, politicians, parents, communities, and schools, all had to work together to help teens change to happier and healthier lifestyles. The first priority was passing new laws. Alcohol and tobacco advertising was banned. It became illegal to sell tobacco to anyone under the age of 18 and forbidden to sell alcohol to anyone under the age of 20. A new law created a curfew for teens. Kids under the age of 16 were not allowed to be out after 10 pm. Adults often patrolled their neighborhoods to see if youngsters complied with the rule.

Jadav Payeng has been planting trees since he was 16 years old on Majuli Island. In this way, he has planted, watered and cared for trees on the island every single day for 40 years and has grown a verdant woodland where previously there was only empty land. Now, the forest has increased to about 550 hectares, and is home to many species of trees. My dream is go fill up Majuli Isaland and Johrat with forest again. I will continue to plant until my last breath. I tell the people, cutting those trees will get you nothing. His reforestation work is a model of excellence.

I desire to help this world, at least, to elevate themselves to a more benevolent consciousness, more enlightened, less suffering, more happiness, more loving, more kindness, more compassion toward each other and toward all other beings. And think twice before they want to do something bad to others, and only want to do good to others. Truly that’s the only thing I desire. Until this world turns into a paradise and peaceful everywhere. Until the animals are free from suffering and respected as individual beings from God, our job is not done.

After finishing the journey to the Extreme Cosmic Sphere on January 5, 2014, Supreme Master Ching Hai reached the Original Universe (OU). The OU beings call Master “Tim Qu Tu”, meaning “the Lord that all worlds love”. OU is before the Big Bang, and it’s the very root source of all manifested creation. In the center of that universe, there is a supreme, supra vortex of energy. “Big Bang” is where energy seeped down from OU, collided with coarse energy, at the Seam of the universe and exploded into Shadow Universe. Shadow Universe souls need an enlightened Master for protection.
