Your Reverend Holinesses, Highly Reverend Priests, Priestesses, Monks, Nuns of different faiths, my best wishes and humble prayers for Your wellness in God’s mercy. Though my time is tight and precious, as I am still in intensive meditation retreat for World Vegan, World Peace, but the urgent call of the planet and our world push me. I feel I must deliver some urgent messages to Your Holinesses and Reverends. As great spiritual leaders, You would also be aware of the devastation occurring on our planet, directly related to accelerated climate change caused by humans’ cruel behaviors and brutal habits, which is not so difficult to change once applying the principle of love. Please tell Your believers this truth. Tell them that we must change. Because WE CANNOT SAY THAT WE ARE THE CHILDREN OF GOD IF WE MURDER OTHER CHILDREN OF GOD. WE CANNOT CLAIM TO BE THE FUTURE BUDDHA IF WE MASSACRE OTHER FUTURE BUDDHAS whether in human form or in animal form. WE CANNOT SAY WE LOVE GOD AND THEN DESTROY HIERS CREATION RELENTLESSLY. AND NOW WE ARE DESTROYING HIERS PLANET. Please teach this again and again to Your trusting followers who look up to You, to Your Holinesses and Reverends as icons of compassion and saintly love. In God’s Love, thank You.

Your Reverend Holinesses, Highly Reverend Priests, Priestesses, Monks, Nuns of different faiths, my best wishes and humble prayers for Your wellness in God’s mercy. Though my time is tight and precious, as I am still in intensive meditation retreat for World Vegan, World Peace, but the urgent call of the planet and our world push me. I feel I must deliver some urgent messages to Your Holinesses and Reverends. Well, if our house is on fire, we cannot say: “I don’t have time to take care of it!” Our planet house is on fire!!! This letter serves the same goal anyway. It’s supposed to be sent by post, but I’ll read it. It’s faster. In time of emergency, too much bureaucracy doesn’t help.

Your Holinesses and Reverends… Although the denomination seems varied, but we all serve one God, I believe. We are so grateful, I am so grateful, for the noble, devoted work Your Holinesses and all Your Reverends have been doing over the years, uniting people through spreading the Almighty’s message of love and compassion among humans and all of creation. Thank You. May God forever be on Your side.

As great spiritual leaders, You would also be aware of the devastation occurring on our planet, directly related to accelerated climate change caused by humans’ cruel behaviors and brutal habits, which is not so difficult to change once applying the principle of love. Please tell Your believers this truth. Please keep telling them, please keep reminding them. I know You did, but we could do more. Thank You. We just have to change. Tell them that we must change. We must change if we want to claim that we are human, that we are the future Buddha, that we are the children of God! Because WE CANNOT SAY THAT WE ARE THE CHILDREN OF GOD IF WE MURDER OTHER CHILDREN OF GOD. WE CANNOT CLAIM TO BE THE FUTURE BUDDHA IF WE MASSACRE OTHER FUTURE BUDDHAS whether in human form or in animal form.

As we read the Buddhist Sutras, we know that even Shakyamuni Buddha repeatedly incarnated innumerable times as animals. And we know, in the Bible, God says that Hes even created all kinds of vegetables for the animals to eat and Hes created many things for us as well. If the animals mean nothing to God, God wouldn’t have created things for them to eat. Just like God loves us, so God created things for us to consume. It says that in the Bible, God created fruit and vegetables in the field and that those shall be our food. (Holy Bible, Genesis 1:29)

WE CANNOT SAY WE LOVE GOD AND THEN DESTROY HIERS CREATION RELENTLESSLY. AND NOW WE ARE DESTROYING HIERS PLANET. But with over 74 billion land animals alone mercilessly massacred for human consumption every year, the livestock raising industry and its byproducts are responsible for 87% of human-caused greenhouse gas emissions. Not only we are destroying the planet by what we consume, but unspeakable atrocities are happening to innocent animals who have never done anything wrong. Moreover, God created animals to be our friends and helpers, not to be murdered and eaten in such a barbarious way! It is the 21st century, for God’s sake.

In the Holy Bible, Job 12:7-8, it is said: “But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or ask the birds in the sky, and they will tell you. Or speak to the Earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish in the sea inform you.” So, the animals, the Earth that God created are wise, respected beings, whose presence are a great blessing to humans.

But what unpardonable acts against God’s Law are we doing to our Heavenly Father’s creation? We are destroying God’s creatures from land to sea! The abominable cruelty inflicted on God’s innocent creatures in lab tests, in livestock raising, in fishing, egg industry, milk, fur, cosmetics, etc., etc… Those industries are undeniably horrific and inhumane. It causes innocent, defenseless, gentle animals, our co-inhabitants, God’s creatures, to be imprisoned and tortured, molested in many ways without any chance to defense, or to utter any call for help! Even if they utter some call for help, say the mother cows, the mother pigs were crying when their babies were taken away, beaten, kicked, and murdered, no one would care. Even a five-year-old kid would understand their emotion. It’s worse than many hells! Imagine if they are our children, our relatives, our friends or ourselves! They are living beings with emotions, with thoughts, feelings. Any of us who have spent time with a pet, knows that they have their own personalities, they experience love, care, pain and sorrow, happiness and excitement. And loyalty; absolute loyalty. And there is no difference between a house-pet and other animals confined all their life in horrendous concentrated, tight animal factories’ crates or fenced-in cramped spaces, rain or shine, no shelter, enduring all kinds of weather, any wicked unimaginable conditions, and whose lives are violently ended at slaughterhouses! For humans’ consumption. If we still think that we are human in this case.

For more information, please also watch the following recommended documentaries, such as: award-winning “Cowspiracy,” “Earthlings,” “Dominion,” and award-nominated “What the Health,” etc., etc... Also, download free-of-charge “From Crisis to Peace” at Crisis2Peace.org

In all the major religions, there are commonalities, such as the principles: “Do unto others what you would have them do unto you” and “Thou shall not kill.” “Ahimsa” meaning nonviolence, etc… Obviously, the eating of any kind of animals, sentient beings is absolutely forbidden in all main belief systems and holy teachings. Yet too many of God’s children, or religious believers, are not following these basic guidelines, because we have been led astray by misconceptions that we need to eat the flesh of animals, fish, eggs and milk to be healthy. The opposite is true – it has been proven in scientific and clinical studies that consuming animals causes innumerable diseases in humans, such as cancers, all kinds of cancers and heart diseases, thus early death, and endless sorrow, suffering before that. Not just to the patients but to their relatives, friends, family members and loved ones.

It’s time now to awaken and change these physically and spiritually unwholesome, unhealthy, cruel habits, and the utmost atrocity involved. Our original diet, as per the Garden of Eden, is the vegan diet. It promotes both physical and mental and spiritual wellbeing. We can live happy, healthy lives, thriving purely on plant foods. Actors, actresses, athletes, sportsmen, martial arts champions, medical doctors, scientists, Nobel Prize winners, etc… are glowing proof of a healthy plant-based diet. This also adheres to “Thou shall not kill,” or “Ahimsa,” means no violence, whereas eating animals goes against this commandment from God. Even if we are not the ones doing the killing, we cause others to kill for us. The animals suffer and die just the same, just for our meal, which we can replace with any other plant-based food. And nowadays it’s even much more so easy. Thus our being, due to murdering animals, is drenched with blood of the innocent on our hands. Please teach this again and again to Your trusting followers who look up to You, to Your Holinesses and Reverends as icons of compassion and saintly love. So they would listen to You! WE CANNOT LET SATAN OR MAYA, THE DEVIL OR THE NEGATIVE FORCE CONTINUE TO LURE US ASTRAY, AGAINST GOD’S WILL, and against our innate intelligence and compassionate nature.

Before continuing this letter, I will read a few examples of the prohibition of animals’ flesh eating in the main world religions. Just in case someone else also is listening. Someone else who has forgotten the religious commandments of their own religion. So first I’ll read it in alphabetic order.

THE BAHA’I FAITH

“Regarding the eating of animal flesh and abstinence therefrom, know thou of a certainty that, in the beginning of creation, God determined the food of every living being, and to eat contrary to that determination is not approved.” ~ Selections from the Bahá’í Writings on Some Aspects of Health and Healing

BUDDHISM

“…ALL MEATS EATEN BY LIVING BEINGS ARE OF THEIR OWN RELATIVES.” ~ Lankavatara Sutra (Tripitaka No. 671)

“Also, after the birth of the baby, care must be exercised not to kill any animal in order to feed the mother with meaty delicacies and not to assemble many relatives to drink liquor or to eat meat... because at the difficult time of birth there are innumerable evil demons, monsters and goblins who want to consume the smelly blood... by ignorantly and adversely resorting to the killing of animals for consumption… they bring down curses upon themselves, which are detrimental to both the mother and the baby.” ~Kristigarbha Sutra, Chapter 8

Another one: “Be careful during the days immediately after someone’s death, not killing or destroying or creating evil karma by worshipping or offering sacrifice to demons and deities… because such killing or slaughtering committed or such worship performed or such sacrifice offered WOULD NOT HAVE EVEN AN IOTA OF FORCE TO BENEFIT THE DEAD, BUT WOULD ENTWINE EVEN MORE SINFUL KARMA INTO PREVIOUS KARMA, MAKING IT EVEN DEEPER AND MORE SERIOUS. …thus, DELAY HIS REBIRTH TO A GOOD STATE.” Or even send them speedily to hell. Karma means retribution. “As you sow, so shall you reap.” In the Bible, it states so. “As you sow, so shall you reap.” That is the meaning of karma in Sanskrit terms.

Another one: “If bhiksus do not wear garments made of silk,” the silk that is made from the silkworms, “boots of local leather and furs, and refrain from consuming milk, cream and butter therefrom, they will really be liberated… If a man can control his body and mind and thereby refrains from eating animal flesh and wearing animal products, I say he will really be liberated.” Bhiksus means monks. ~ Surangama Sutra

Another one: “If any of my disciples does not honestly consider that and still eats meat, we should know that he is of the candela’s lineage. HE IS NOT MY DISCIPLE and I am not his teacher. Therefore, Mahamati, if anyone wishes to be my relative, HE SHOULD NOT EAT ANY MEAT.” Candela means killer or murderer. ~ Lankavatara Sutra

CAO ĐÀI-ISM

“The most important thing is to stop killing... because animals also have souls and understand like humans... IF WE KILL AND EAT THEM, THEN WE OWE THEM A BLOOD DEBT.” ~ Teachings of the Saints, About Keeping the Ten Precepts – Abstaining from Killing, Section 2

CHRISTIANITY

“Meats for the belly, and belly for the meats: but God shall destroy both it and them.” ~ 1st Corinthians 6:13, Holy Bible

Another one: “And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere (before) it was chewed, the wrath of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the LORD smote the people with a very great plague.” ~ Numbers 11:33, Holy Bible

CONFUCIANISM

“All men have a mind which cannot bear to see the sufferings of others. The superior man, having seen the animals alive, cannot bear to see them die; having heard their dying cries, HE CANNOT BEAR TO EAT THEIR FLESH.” ~ Mencius, King Hui of Liang, Chapter 4

ĐẠO DỪA-ISM

“To have peace, humanity must first have peace with the animals; do not kill them to feed ourselves, then there will be peace among people.” ~Nam Quốc Phật Temple

ESSENES

“I am come to end the sacrifices and feasts of blood, and if ye cease NOT OFFERING AND EATING OF FLESH AND BLOOD, the wrath of God shall not cease from you.” ~ Gospel of the Holy Twelve

HINDUISM

“Since you cannot bring killed animals back to life, you are responsible for killing them. Therefore you are going to hell; there is no way for your deliverance.” ~ Adi-lila, Chapter 17, verses 159-165

Another: “He who desires to augment his own flesh by eating the flesh of other creatures lives in misery in whatever species he may take his birth.” ~ Mahabharata, Anu. 115.47. FS, pg. 90

Another: “O best of Kings! If the things, acquired by injuring others, be utilized in any auspicious act, they yield contrary results at the time of fruition.” ~ Devi Bhagavatam, Fourth Book, Chapter 4, verse 32

ISLAM

“Allah will not give mercy to anyone, except those who give mercy to other creatures.” ~ Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him), Hadith

Another: “Do not allow your stomachs to become graveyards of animals!” ~ Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him), Hadith

JAINISM

“A true monk should NOT ACCEPT SUCH FOOD AND DRINK as has been especially prepared for him INVOLVING THE SLAUGHTER OF LIVING BEINGS.” ~ Sutrakritanga

JUDAISM

“And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eat anything that has blood*; I WILL EVEN SET MY FACE AGAINST THAT SOUL THAT EATETH BLOOD*, and will cut him off from among his people.” ~ Leviticus 17:10, Holy Bible *blood: meaning “flesh,” which has blood.

SIKHISM

“Those mortals who consume marijuana, flesh and wine – no matter what pilgrimages, fasts and rituals they follow, they will all go to hell.” ~ Guru Granth Sahib, page 1377

TAOISM

“Do not go into the mountain to catch birds in nets, nor to the water to poison fishes and minnows. Do not butcher the ox.” ~ Tract of the Quiet Way

TIBETAN BUDDHISM

“The offering to the deities of meat obtained by killing animate beings is like offering a mother the flesh of her own child; and this is a grievous sin.” ~ The Supreme Path of Discipleship: The Precepts of The Gurus, The Thirteen Grievous Sins, Great Guru Gampopa

ZOROASTRIANISM

“Those plants, I, Ahura Mazda (means God), rain down upon the earth, to bring food to the faithful, and fodder to the beneficent cow.” ~ Avesta

etc., and etc. There are more, of course. These are just a few examples. For further info, please check SupremeMasterTV.com

So regardless of which faith anyone belongs to, all must keep the most important precept: “Thou shall not kill.” Ahimsa. Nonviolence.

Now it’s time for humanity to go back to how our Creator originally intended for all Hiers children to live – in dignity, respect, peace, love, and to be good stewards of our Earthly abode. Please remind Your faithful of all this and more. I know You did, but please repeat again and again, and explain to them it’s utmost important for their own souls as well as for our planet, for our world. It’s time for the suffering of all animals to end, as they have a right to live in peace, freedom and dignity with their loved ones in nature, just as God originally intended.

Please help to rescue God’s creation. Please help to end the suffering of innocents. We make war with each other, and we make war with animals. These are not right. These actions are not right. These actions are against God’s commandments and will. Please remind Your faithful. I trust in the wisdom of Your Holinesses and all Your Reverends to lead this great change! We must change. I trust that Your Holinesses and Your Reverends, all Your Reverends to lead this great change. To promote the vegan lifestyle, which encompasses love, compassion and respect for all beings and obeys God’s commandments. Please promote it to all Your clergy, monks, nuns and all the faithful. The power of Your entrusted position will lend a significant, effective encouragement for world citizens to follow Your lead. Please be “the hero of our time,” rescue all these innocent beings, our fellow co-inhabitants called animals, who have never done any harm. Who are a blessing to our world. Who are wonderful, loving and kind to humans as well as to their own co-inhabitant animals. In our Supreme Master Television, we have ample examples of that, of the animals’ loving compassion and kindness recorded from all over the world. Please tell Your faithful to watch them. We cannot expect Heavens when we create hell or condone the hellish, massacre of God’s beloved creation, in such a mass-murdering, cold-blooded way. We cannot expect Heavens’ leniency if we destroy God’s creation and have no mercy to other children of God, meaning the animals.

Please do not ignore their horrendous plight. God knows their daily anguish. Heavens and Earth witness their pain. Their cries have shaken all Heavens and the hearts of many beings. Please speak for them, please help them, as this also helps our world to heal in the wake of climate acceleration. Your noble deed will be forever recorded by Heavens and contribute to a benevolent atmosphere on our planet, to world peace, and to the stabilization of the climate, which is important to all lives on Earth. All lives also depend on Your merciful act.

The world citizens, the animals and our children will forever remember Your heroic, compassionate deeds and pray for Your happy, prosperous, healthy long life in the name of God. The ever Merciful Heavens will be pleased. The all-loving God will pardon our sins and lengthen our lives, as we pardon and lengthen our co-inhabitants’ lives, the loving, kind animals.

May God bless You, all Your Holinesses and all Your Reverends, and bless Your holy mission abundantly, and may God bless our world. Amen. Thank You. Thank You, and thank You. In God’s Love, thank You.
