As we continue our conversation with Russian breatharian Olga Podorovskaya, she addresses the harmful effects of meat consumption. As more people shift towards cleaner, purer lifestyles, Olga emphasizes the need for people to be in tune with themselves. Sharing her observations, she speaks of what we can do to create a better world. Olga warns that if humanity does not come together in harmony and love, our world's future will spiral down a dark path. Ultimately, we should all seek what she refers to as "the realization of immortality," or spiritual enlightenment.

In commemoration of the 2nd International Artist Day which falls on April 3 as declared by Supreme Master Ching Hai, our Mongolian Association members hosted a grand concert entitled “Awakening Through Art” in the capital city of Ulaanbaatar featuring a dazzling array of performances. In addition to the hundreds of top Mongolian artists, government dignitaries have also attended the event. Guests and VIPs also had the opportunity to visit an art exhibition showcasing Master’s exquisite artworks before the main concert, and were treated to an extravagant vegan banquet afterwards. Our Beloved Supreme Master Ching Hai joined the event via livestream as the special guest. She answered many spiritual questions from the participants and graciously stayed to watch all the performances.

For centuries, reincarnation remained a mystery, leading to questions about human existence and the nature of previous lives. Nowadays, however, many individuals are coming forward to share detailed memories of their past lifetimes. Dr. Jim Tucker, a renowned past-life expert from the US, has recorded 2,500 cases of children remembering their previous incarnations. Oscar winner, AFI Life Achievement Award recipient, and legendary Hollywood actress Ms. Shirley MacLaine has long been sharing her past-life memories in media interviews, including on the TODAY show.

Welcome to this week’s episode of Models of Success, featuring Constantin Brâncuşi, an extraordinary sculptor from Romania. Constantin Brâncuşi, widely known simply as Brâncuşi, was born in 1876 in the beautiful region of Oltenia, Romania. We spoke to Dr. Sanda Miller, Senior Lecturer in Media and Visual Arts at Southampton Solent University in the United Kingdom and the author of "Constantin Brâncuşi, A Survey of His Work," who told us more about the life and works of this renowned artist.

Next is the performance from China, which presents a song titled “Watching the Moon.” The song’s melody is smooth, the lyrics are warm, the meaning is profound. The song expresses the deep feelings, boundless praises and love towards our Master. “When I am looking at the moon, I am always thinking of You. When I am looking at You, I am thinking about the moon. In this world, the most beautiful is the moon. But the one that’s more beautiful than the moon is You. In the days without You, I often watch the moon. The pure and bright moonlight is like Your face.”

People who undergo near-death experiences realize that there’s a greater form of love than the worldly variety. You realize the importance of love, perhaps to a much greater degree than before. Quite often you don’t know how to set about it. Now the kind of love God’s looking for, that really teaches us is not the kind of self-development love, but it’s developing other people, helping other people and so forth. Whichever way you look at it, your consciousness, or your spirit continues after death, and that you will meet with God, in one way or another again. You will find that God is a God of Love, and that He is concerned for you as an individual, and that I think is the main message I would like to communicate.

Mr. lvan Rudolph is a world-renowned author whose latest book, “Living beyond: Making Sense of Near-Death Experiences,” details near-death experiences he compiled over 40 years, since hearing of his father’s case as a young child. (In) a real near-death experience, the body is left behind, and the spirit comes out of the body. And the spirit can see the body there and the medical people working on the body perhaps. If you go far enough in this experience, you go into what’s called a Life Review. During this Life Review, you can actually see other people’s thoughts. So, we tend to think we live a very private life inside our heads. But it’s not quite like that.

Why could I do this? Why did I create this system? Because the direction was higher, my goal was different. It’s not for shifting into prana eating, to lose weight, or to do something else. My goal was to know who I was, to explore myself. Exactly, that’s why some other doors, other possibilities, other abilities as a person opened on this path. And since I discovered these abilities in myself, I could create systems to tell other people how they can do the same. But this way will be theirs; they cannot go my way.

But we cannot say goodbye without first saying thanks to other artists. To all of them, our gratitude. Same to the theater staff of this Danza Theater. So we hope that our country keeps walking through the paths of art. And to all of you, thank you very much. And see you next April 3rd. “Well it seems to me something so noble, for me it is like a fairy tale come true. Because, all of us artists have a message to communicate to humanity. Then it is beautiful that someone makes it universal and allows us to get that voice out and share it with everyone.”

The wild animals, they’re all connected to the planet, all connected to one another, connected as various species. This language that we use in animal communication, it’s a universal language. And they make use of it; well, it’s their means of communication. Everyone is able to communicate with animals. So, communicating through telepathy is a type of communication we all performed when we were babies. Joy stated that humans are born with the ability to communicate telepathically, but then quickly lose this gift. And then one day, it’s through a few meditation drills, relaxation drills that we realize that we can reconnect inside and that we receive messages at all times while not being aware of it.

On April 3rd, 2019, to commemorate the 2nd International Artist Day, members of the Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association in Costa Rica organized an artistic event in the Teatro de la Danza, located in the Ministry of Culture’s main facility. Many participants expressed deep appreciation for being a part of this tribute to artists, commemorating their positive effect on society. “Well here’s a lot of people who have many many gifts and possibly, if we made an experiment and we got all those gifts, we would all be flying.”

The “World Tour 2018” was very impressive with the 39 “Small Island Big Song” concerts garnering over 100,000 attendees. The musician and dance troupe from eight island nations covered 20 cities in 12 countries on four continents! When we looked out at that stage and they were all such strong, proud musicians who are absolutely respected cultural voices and it was so humbling for us to be amongst those people and for them to be standing up on stage and the presence that they bring, because it’s not just them, they’re all representing this lineage, and they’re aware of that, too, when they’re standing there. The respect (they have) for each other.

Aulacese (Vietnamese) Classical Opera is a theatre art and is considered as a national intangible cultural heritage. Next is a moving drama entitled "A Saintly King" that entails a noble view of life. This poor man threw the stone and the tree gave him a sweet fruit to assuage his hunger for one day. And I'm the King of all beings, the jewel of humans, why should I be less worthy than a tree? That's why I ordered to have this poor man be provided for from today for the rest of his life. The Lô Lô people is one of the 54 ethnic groups in Âu Lạc (Vietnam). Bringing nature’s wild beauty to life, the Lô Lô’s culture and festivals are filled with cheerful colors and optimism.

Our vegan voyage begins today in joyful Ireland, where Loving Hut Catering serves delicious vegan fare at vegan festivals and pop-ups around the country. This feast for the eyes and the stomach relies on the dedication and commitment from the happy and hardworking staff. Here they share with us some of the super yummy food they made today! Our next stop is nearby in the United Kingdom, where support for veganism has skyrocketed in the past few years. With increased awareness coming from many sectors, reports state that there will be three times more vegans in the UK by 2020, and the UK could even be 100% vegan by 2030! Bravo!

On today’s program, Ms. Higgins explains why additional laws need to be enacted to address the urgent issue of climate change. Ms. Higgins has a special message for governments and corporations. We each carry a duty of care for ourselves, for our families, for our communities, but also, we do actually have a duty of care, a moral duty of care that extends to our Earth. Our Earth is ultimately our universal home. And that moral duty of care can be translated into law. Scientists have concluded that raising livestock is one of the most significant contributors to global warming.

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.
