Host: On May 9, 2021, during a work-related phone call with the Supreme Master Television team members, our Most Beloved Supreme Master Ching Hai, once again, lovingly shared Her deep care and ceaseless concern for the world, especially our gentle and intelligent brethren, the animals. I need to concentrate. I need to keep all my strength in order to help the world, to help the animals. (Yes, Master.) Because my heart aches every day for them. Sometimes I have no more tears to cry. I just sit and hold my head on the table. Then my dogs would come if they were there. I owe my life to all the animals, the wild animals. They keep telling me all day. And then even the bees, they come out at night to warn me. (Wow.) I’m lucky that the animals warn me, because the bee just goes straight to my face and stands still like a helicopter, stands in mid-air and tells me that, in the dark, midnight already. (Oh, wow.) Right now, I need to concentrate on more meditation. At least it helps to have peace. But I want more peace for the animals, not just humans. You see, I can trust the animals. (Yes, Master.) Even the wild animals that have nothing to do with me. (Yes.) I fed some squirrels and skunks and all that, but not because of that. Maybe because of that also, they are grateful. Just some morsel of food and some fruit, vegetables, and they are indebted already. They want to give their life to you. Even the bees, they never fly in the dark. (Yes, Master.) A big bee came right into my face and stood still there and told me things. And then flew away. There’s nothing the bee can want from me at that time, midnight. I did leave water outside for the bees, though. I leave shallow, very little water, and I put some sponge or something in the middle so that she won’t wet her wings, so they can come and drink. Wherever I go, I try to do that. And I give food and water for other animals, and the birds also. But I didn’t do that to get any reward or gratitude or protection, I did that because of love. (Yes, Master.) And because I love them, they respond. (Yes.) Love touches all beings except humans, I’m sorry to say. The humans are blocked, terribly, from inside out, so they don’t see much. They don’t see the logic of not killing animals and torturing them for food. We can see so clearly. What’s so difficult to understand that you don’t kill, you don’t torture the innocent beings? (Yes.) And even it says all in the Bible that they so believe in. They go to the church every day, they listen to sermons, they read the Bibles, they sing psalms and all that stuff. (Yes, Master.) Cannot say that they did not read it. Never mind about it! Just still continue to condone this torturous practice of murdering billions of animals every year. Just like blind, deaf, and dumb. Understand nothing. I’m determined to live for the animals. The way they torture them, I cannot just ignore and say, “No problem.” (Yes, Master.) Because one day I saw them skin them. My God, imagine if they tie you up onto some machine and skin you by that machine? From top to bottom. You saw that on our Supreme Master Television. (Yes.) And I saw that a couple of times, one is a big cow and the other time it’s just a very small calf or dog. Oh, I then swore to Heaven and Earth, I said, “I will live for the animals.” Even just for them. That day, I was so angry. “God,” I was so anguished, I said, “please, just punish me alone and let the animals free.” I was crying as usual. Then I swore, “I will live for you.” I told them, “I won’t forget you.” I cannot shake all this suffering out of my head. When I edit, I have to see. Just like you had to see. (Yes, Master.) All these horrible clips of torturing animals. (Yes, Master.) I had to see, and I just swore to Heaven and Earth, I said, “I have to live for the animals.” Before, I couldn’t care less if I live or die. I mean, I’m not looking to commit suicide or anything, but if I die, I die. That’s my attitude. You see what I’m saying? (Yes.) But that day, those pictures really forced me to awake. And I said, “My life is not just my life. It belongs to suffering beings, especially the animals.” I said, “I will have to live. I will live. I will take care of myself, protect myself. I have to live for you. I will live for the animals. I’ll live for you. I would not forget you. I will not forsake you, as long as I breathe.” And I really meant that and I’m determined still. I don’t really need anything. I just need to be alive and strong. Just to work for the animals until I die. I live really just for them now, I know that. I really am determined and my heart just wants to do that. Truly. I mean, definitely and very strongly and intensely, for the animals I shall live. I would treasure my life, whatever leftover of my life, just for them. (Yes, Master.) So we just continue to do Supreme Master Television and pray for them and do what we can. (Yes, Master.) When I’m in retreat, I feel stronger than when I’m talking to everybody in the public like before, every Sunday. (Yes, Master.) I talk by my soul anyway, from my heart, so I don’t even need to go out, people hear me. Their souls hear me. (Yes.) Every day I talk to Heaven and Earth, say, “Please help me. Please help me to help the animals. I don’t want anything else. I really don’t.” I just do what I can until the end of my life. Every day I suffer so much because of them, because I suffer with them. (Yes, Master.) Like if I’m them. I feel it. Humans have become so demonized that they know nothing, feel nothing anymore. If I’m here, there is still hope. (Yes, Master.)Host: Upon mention that it was Mother’s Day as celebrated around the world, Master expressed Her heartfelt message for the mothers, including all species. Happy Mother’s Day to all your mothers and all the mothers in the whole world. Happy Mother’s Day to the animals also, who are mothers or going to be mothers. Please keep praying. Keep praying until your last breath, even if you’re suffering. Even if you’re tortured, don’t forget God. Don’t forget me. I’m with you. I suffer with you. And I’m trying very hard to end all this. At least the animals. My God, they’re so sweet, innocent. They’re so kind to humans, more kind to humans than humans to each other. Talking about that, I really have pain. And doesn’t seem like people in power are doing anything. The so-called religious leaders, and national leaders, and all these. Whom are they leading? Where are they leading? Where are they leading people to? They’re useless.Host: Most Loving Master, Your readiness for self-sacrifice moves all Heavens and Earth, as Your unending empathy for the suffering innocents touches and awakens us. We pray that Master’s wish for all living beings will be soon fulfilled and that we humans will open our hearts and adopt the compassionate vegan diet; only then shall there be real and lasting peace on Earth. May Master be always in sound health, safe and protected by all the Godses.

Host: On Sunday, April 25, 2021, our Most Beloved Supreme Master Ching Hai caringly made time to speak with the Supreme Master Television team members, as She shared another interesting story from “A Treasury of Jewish Folklore” compiled by Nguyễn Ước. Before the reading, Master elaborated on some questions which the team members had. (Master, there is an ongoing crisis at the US-Mexico border. In the first few months of Joe Biden’s presidency, the number of illegal immigrants apprehended has surged, with more arrivals than any other period in the past 20 years. Some say it is fueled by the perception that his administration has a more “open” border policy. By contrast, the former US president, His Excellency Donald Trump’s policies tightly restricted legal and illegal immigration, and directed immigration officials to apprehend anyone in the country unlawfully. Would Master kindly share Her thoughts on this issue?)Yes. President Trump wanted to regulate the immigration traffic flow from other countries to be in a more orderly manner, to protect the Americans as well as the immigration people. The US has already actually a kind of open policy, like yearly everyone can apply to live there or work there if they win the Green Card program. Fifty-five thousand nowadays, yearly, can have that chance, plus anyone can apply in many other ways to live and work in the US openly.Open border is very good. (Yes, Master.) But it should be done in the organized way. Otherwise it will be chaotic. As I have read in the news, it seems to breed a kind of crisis at the border between USA and Mexico. (Yes, Master.) Because you cannot just open the border without foreplanning. (Yes, Master.) In Europe, it’s different. They have a Schengen zone where people from different countries in Europe can just go in and out of any other countries without any border or without checkpoints. Without passport or any ID necessary. But they had planned many equipment and systems to put this into practice. But America and Mexico and others, like South American countries, they did not plan. So in that case, it is not very good to just let people come in like that, because you might have different people with maybe disease or criminal records or other kinds of unpleasant things. And also, if you don’t plan in advance, then you don’t have like a center to screen people and to give them ID to go into the US, so that they can find a job or they can find their relatives. As I saw it in the news, this is kind of very chaotic, all the children squeezed together in pens, and it’s very… almost very unkind. Because people come to the United States, all of a sudden, so the people at the border cannot deal with the influx so fast. And there might be not enough comfortable accommodation and not enough food, the logistic stuff. This is not very good like that. Not good for America, not good for Mexicans and other immigrants. I heard they came all the way from even Honduras and other countries in Central America. So, to open the border is very nice, very kind and very good for any country. When you need some extra workers, or you just want to be hospitable, it’s very good. But in this case, when it’s so chaotic like that, it’s very bad for the immigrants, especially for the small children. I saw them even dropped over the fence, the wall of the border, and that’s very bad for them. This must be traumatic for them, and it’s very difficult for the child to forget this kind of traumatic experience in their very young and tender age. And also important is, in the time of pandemic, most borders are closed to protect the people, and at the moment it’s not favorable to open. If the children are squeezed together like that, healthy and unhealthy, that’s very bad for all of them. (Yes, Master.) Don’t you think so? (Yes, Master.) And also I saw it in the news that many people are sick. Like they have COVID-19, and they are just let to run, go into the United States. And that might infect healthy Americans also. (Yes.) That’s very, very inconsiderate. It should not have been done this way. It should have been more organized before the immigrants were able to come into America. Otherwise, the open border is very good. Good for the host country, good for the immigrants, because immigrants need jobs and they will be motivated to work very hard and contribute to the country as well as for the immigrant himself. It’s just that we have to organize in advance. Have a good place for them to stay meanwhile, and some doctors, some medical personnel to take care of their health when they first come, and organize the logistic situation, with food and clothing, and blankets, and rooms, and hygiene, stuff like that. It wasn’t really very organized, and that’s very, very bad for the children who are sent there, especially without any parents or adult accompaniment. I don’t think it’s very kind, even though the intention may be good. (Yes, Master.) But good intention is not everything. Good intention has to come also with good logistic arrangements, and all the preparation to welcome the guests. Even in Europe, with this Schengen Agreement in the Schengen zone, during the pandemic, borders are closed also. So the border between the US and Mexico opened, I think it’s not a very good idea at the moment. Besides, the mentality of European countries is maybe different from the mentality of the Mexicans and the Americans, different expectations, different way of life. In the European Union, most of the people’s standard of living are similar. Of course, there are always the richer and the less rich, but the standard of living is more or less similar between the countries in the Schengen zone. Even then, during the pandemic, they close the borders as a prevention to protect their citizens. Especially in the pandemic situation like we are in right now, I don’t know if the border should be open like that. (Yes, Master.) And that would be also encouraging the smugglers, the human traffickers or drug traffickers. All kinds of unfavorable groups of people also will be mixing in, and that’s no good for the host country, for America, at all. Host: After Master kindly translated the Jewish traditional tale called “The Traveling Businessman and a Trustworthy Ghost,” She emphasized an important revelation that was made in the story. You see, in this story, the ghost even told, and truthfully, that most people who die, suffer in hell. Because very rare we have some virtuous and morally uncorrupted person. (Yes, Master.) And to eat meat and all that is already a sin, already sinful and already punishable by law, the Universal law. I really want to plead with all the religious leaders. You must make a good example. You must be a vegan, now. Then God will forgive. Otherwise, truly, you will go to hell. I mean it. Like everyone else, if you continue to eat meat, drink wine, and even just to eat meat, not drink wine, it’s already sinful enough to be punished in hell for a long, long, long, long time. We can put the heartline, or the talk of the sister from China, about hell. “Most Beloved Master: I can attest that when Master says, ‘Those who eat meat will go to hell,’ that is the absolute truth. One midnight, as I was wrapping up my meditation session, I received a message from my inner Master, saying: ‘You should pay a visit to hell to learn the work of a Bodhisattva and help the beings there.’ My inner Master then transported me to hell. Her Supreme Power protected me from the hellfires, which would have scorched a practitioner of my level. It also freed me of fear. I was escorted to one of the hells by Earth Store Bodhisattva. Here, the wrongdoers were forced to run as fast as they could on a huge spinning black iron wheel, which resembled a waterwheel. The moment they failed to keep up with the speed of the wheel, they would fall into a cauldron of boiling soup on a roaring fire and get cooked to smithereens.Following Master’s instructions, I recited the Five Holy Names and the Gift. As I did so, Master’s immense power enabled those beings to free themselves from the wheel. They then knelt in front of me. I asked them: ‘How did you fall into this hell?’ They said: ‘In our previous life, we ate large amounts of flesh of hunted animals and captured fish. They experienced great terror when they were hunted. They tried to flee, but there was no escape. They were captured, slaughtered, and cooked to mush in a pot. As a consequence of eating their flesh, we fell into hell’s cauldron, having to flee and be cooked repeatedly.’ I explained to them: ‘The karmic toll of meat-eating is extremely heavy. People only dare to eat meat because they don’t know what awaits them.’ I exhorted them to be sure to adopt a vegan lifestyle and do good deeds in their next incarnation. They then followed Master out of hell, on the path to a new life. Yet, even as I spoke, I could see many meat-eaters arrive from above, falling one after another into hell, all stark naked. Alas, as the scriptures say: ‘Hell shall never be empty.’Then, I felt a twinge in my left arm. I looked down and saw that my left sleeve had blown up to an enormous size. Innumerable hell beings were tucked in the sleeve to be rescued from hell. As it turns out, hell beings can shrink and be rescued that way.Amazed, I reveled in the magnanimity and boundless compassion of Master and Earth Store Bodhisattva, who extend their help to the suffering sentient beings. In the next instant, I was back in hell singing praises of the two great Saints. I had only uttered a few words of praise when I heard a series of startlingly loud clangs. Lo and behold, it was the sound of the iron walls of several adjacent hell chambers crumbling under the power of exaltation of the Saints! At the same time, a pure, effervescent spring gushed forth from the dark ground of hell, forming a lotus pond. Countless gold and white lotuses grew in the pond and bloomed instantaneously. The lotus flowers grew larger and larger, glowing in beautiful splendor. Even golden lotuses can bloom in hell, under the infinite power and merit of our beloved Supreme Master Ching Hai and Earth Store Bodhisattva. Their greatness is truly beyond human comprehension!”It’s not enough that you wear the monk’s or nun’s robe and just every day doing some not very useful rituals, taking donations, having a comfortable church or temple to live in, and being revered by the faithful. You must turn around. Be vegan. No more meat. No more animal products. Otherwise, you cannot escape hell. In my honor, in the name of God, I tell you the truth like that. Even if you feel offended, even if I risk my safety to tell you, the leaders of religions, I have to tell you, in the name of God. It’s not enough just to learn some ritual by heart and just repeat what is in the Bible or the sutra. People trust you to lead them to the righteous way. Not only you have to be vegan, you must also advise your followers, the faithful, to do the same. Must be vegan. No more killing, indirectly, the poor, innocent animals that God made. The animals are also God’s children, and shall not be destroyed. The animals are helpers of humankind. In the Bible it even says all that: “Ask the birds, they will show you. Ask the fish, they will instruct you. Ask the animals, they will tell you. They will advise you.” ~ Holy Bible, Job 12:8 So they are some beings to be respected, to be loved, at least to be friendly with. It’s not for us to eat, to torture, in such a barbarous way. And if you eat them, these torturously killed meats, you condone this practice and you are an accomplice. I am telling you as a friend, as a faithful. As a person who respects, loves God. As a person who loves human beings and animals. As a person who cries every day and night, for their suffering. I’m not spending idling time talking to you like this. I must warn you that hells are awaiting you if you don’t turn around now and stop eating meat of the innocent animals. We − even no priests, even ordinary people – we humans, a humane human, should never enjoy at the cost of suffering of any others. God says, “Thou shall not kill.” And that never fails. That law of the Universe is everywhere, correct and just. No one can escape that. “As you sow, so shall you reap.” Just because you don’t see the animal suffer, just because you don’t kill the animal, doesn’t mean you don’t partake in the sin thereof. People trust you. You must advise them to go the compassionate way, the way Jesus walked, the way the Buddha taught, the way Guru Nanak Dev Ji showed to us, the way Prophet Muhammad, peace be on Him, taught us. All the Masters said the same. Lord Mahavira did not even want to eat, or the fruits even. And we are allowed to eat fruits and vegetables, and in plenty. We are not short of food, of nutrition. We should not kill just to enjoy. That is wicked. That is against God. That’s against your mission, against the robe that you are wearing, which is the holy robe, the representative of holiness, of Heavens, of God. You have to live the way our Masters taught us, like Lord Jesus, Lord Buddha, Lord Mahavira, Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the Prophet Muhammad, peace be on Him, the Prophet Baháʼu’'lláh etc., etc. I have no more tears to show you. I cannot take out my heart to show you how sincere I am, and how broken it has been, over and over again, because of the suffering of humans and animals. The suffering of animals affects humans and thus humans also suffer. You are the representative of Heaven. You’re supposed to walk the way of Heaven, of compassion, of love, of benevolence, of mercy. Then all that will come to you, the day you leave this world, the day you discard your robe to go back to Heaven. Otherwise, you go to hell, and I guarantee that. You know I mean it, and you know it is true. So U-turn now. I wish you the best, in God’s Mercy and Love. And I love you, all of you. Please, U-turn. Thank you. Host: Most Gracious Master, Your pure, selfless Love and never-ending Compassion for all suffering and misled beings, give us hope that the world will retrieve its humane values. We sincerely pray that Master’s efforts will help those in trusted positions of influence to choose the life-honoring vegan diet and urge their followers to do the same, thus bringing humankind onto the path of benevolence. Wishing Master a peaceful heart, happiness and perfect health, in the Support and Glory of the Divine. For the full broadcast of this conference with Supreme Master Ching Hai, please tune in to Between Master and Disciples at a later date.

Yeah, yeah. Yes, they do. (Oh, wow.)Also, sometimes they come and listen to our conference on TV…

Remember, we are the soul. Every time weremember to go up there, we are in control again as a soul. That’s why you cango up to Heaven, you can see your original Light from Heaven and hear theteaching from Heaven in the form of music of the spheres. Like that. Otherwise,we are nothing. This body is not us.We can always err anytime, because of theworld’s influence, because of the bad energy around us, because of the badinfluence from whomever we are with. They can be stronger than us sometimes − stronger than our mind, not oursoul. The soul knows, just the mind doesn’t capiche and follows the mind’sorders…The pandemic does help in many ways. Itbrings out the best in people. Also, it brings out the worse. It depends onwhat mental or spiritual level you are (on) to be influenced by the good or bythe bad. (Is there anything we disciples could do tohelp Master in the negotiation with Heavens?)

Our warm appreciation, Qatar Red Crescent Society and Sudanese Red Crescent Society, for your noble assistance to the displaced Ethiopian people in Sudan. In the blessings of Allah, may all asylum seekers soon find security and peace in their lives. COVID-19 was leading cause of death in early 2021 in United States. As reported by the US-based Kaiser Family Foundation, from December 2020 to February 2021, COVID-19 was found to be the main reason for fatalities in the US, with heart disease and cancer being second and third. For the whole year of 2020, however, the virus was the third principal cause of life lost according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, with the illness taking around 375,000 lives. Groups with some of the highest losses were males, senior adults age 85 or older, African Americans and Native Americans. Thank you, Kaiser Family Foundation and the Centers for Disease Control, for the information. Our heartfelt condolences to the families whose loved ones passed away due to COVID-19. We pray for their souls as well as for the living, especially the most vulnerable. In God’s mercy, may humanity practice loving kindness to all beings through the vegan diet, thus creating a pandemic-free future.

UK non-profit Buglife, which is focused on protecting insects, has started establishing wildflower corridors across the nation as part of its B-Lines initiative to help pollinators travel between areas. Currently, their habitats are divided by roads and developments, but the charity’s team has made a map of proposed routes where wildflowers can be planted. So far, the project has already led to the sighting of a rare bumblebee in Cardiff town. Citizens can also participate by allowing their lawns to grow or by creating a small herb garden. According to Buglife’s Paul Hetherington, the actualization of even 10% of the suggested network will increase the population of beneficial insects. Furthermore, it will give them a way out of overheated habitats caused by global warming. Way to go, Buglife! May your caring project help bee and other insect communities bloom, in Celestial kindness. Ancient tree found in New Zealand reveals climate history. A company in New Zealand named Top Energy recently uncovered a fossilized kauri tree while excavating a hillside for a geothermal power plant. The 20-meter-long cone-bearing kauri, which had lived for 1,600 years, was the only one found so far that existed during the glacial period between 13,000 and 25,000 years ago. It will give valuable information on what the climate was like each year during that time, with clues about the rainfall, humidity, soil moisture and more. The towering kauri tree is considered to be sacred by the indigenous Maori people. Thank you, Top Energy and researchers involved. With renewed awe of the Earth’s great trees past and present, may such discoveries also help us to better understand our Earth’s climate and act urgently to preserve all life. Altruistic teen assists those in need with essential supplies. Seventeen-year-old Alexa Rhodes of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States, recently put together and delivered 160 backpacks for individuals experiencing homelessness in the city. The durable, waterproof backpacks each included over 40 necessities such as personal hygiene products, hand sanitizers and a water-resistant blanket. They were assembled by Alexa and 51 younger students, who are enrolled in an entrepreneurial leadership program at Springside Chestnut Hill Academy. Ms. Rhodes began the project as part of this business class initiative and in 2020 developed it into her own non-profit called H.E.L.P.I.N.G. The Homeless Backpacks to encourage people to support those in need. Our warm applause and appreciation, Alexa Rhodes and others involved. May you inspire many more to follow your noble ideal of helping others, in Divine goodness. Coming up, study shows veganism is rapidly increasing in Belgium. Let’s pause for a moment to be thankful for the umbrella makers, for allowing us to be outdoors during the rainy days. You’re watching Noteworthy News on Supreme Master Television. Welcome back to Noteworthy News – Good News for a Habitable World. Veganism soaring in Belgium. Psychologists at the United Kingdom’s University of Bath discovered that the number of people contented with plant-based products in Belgium rose from 44% to 51% between 2019 and 2020. In partnership with Belgian non-profit GAIA (Global Action in the Interest of Animals), the results were obtained through polling 1,000 people in two surveys. This fast increase is reflected in such supermarkets as Lidl, which has expanded their vegan offerings by 11 new items in the nation. Furthermore, Plenitude, the world’s largest scale plant to produce fungus-based protein for meat alternative products, will be established in the city of Ghent in 2021. We applaud you, forward-thinking Belgian citizens. In Heaven’s light, may a global shift to the satisfying vegan lifestyle fully bring us into a world of compassion and happiness. Taiwanese (Formosan) village supports feline well-being. The newly established Cat Public Office in New Taipei City’s Houtong Village in Taiwan, also known as Formosa, focuses on furthering the welfare of hundreds of homeless cats in the area. Services that are provided include monitoring, healthcare and microchip implants, and furthermore, the facility will function as a coordination center for volunteer work. Beautifully decorated with a kitty mural, the office also cultivates catnip, a plant that felines love for its calming benefits. The overall goal is to turn the town that already attracts visits from cat lovers into a feline paradise, while informing the public about the proper care of these adorable beings. Our sincere thankfulness for these humane efforts, New Taipei City government. May all our animal friends be respected and well looked after, in Divine protection. Let our daily joke help you weather things a little bit better! It’s entitled “Modern Consideration.” Craig and Danny were discussing the topic of marriages. “It’s interesting how different times define different ways to help you consider marrying someone…”“What do you mean?”“Like, for example, nowadays, before you marry a person, you should first make them use a computer with slow internet to see who they really are.”And now we have a heartline from Zhi-Sheng in China: I’m from the animal rescue center of the Samantabhadra Great Vow Life-Protecting organization, an animal rescue site and shelter. I hope people will help the animals and provide them with an abundant, free, and happy home. Coincidently on one occasion, I had the honor to learn that Supreme Master and the Supreme Master TV team were advocating veganism, environmental protection, and saving our animal friends. I adore Your ideals dearly. Now that our earthly home is facing imminent catastrophes, your TV is awakening all people who have compassion, love and a conscience. I began to help and rescue animals in 2016. Every day, I’ve seen homeless animals wandering the streets starving, facing the fear and danger of being sold to the slaughtering houses and getting killed every day. Seeing all this, I could not eat or sleep in peace. Merciful love emerged in my heart, and I made up my mind to help them find a shelter with love and warmth. Thus I embarked on the journey of animal-rescuing. It’s difficult and challenging, but I did not give up, because I believe in “When the buying stops, the killing can too.” Through getting in touch with animals, I came to appreciate the preciousness of life, and from them, I have experienced all kinds of lessons on the ephemerality of life, joys and sorrows, birth, aging, sickness, and death. I hope that all people in the world would join efforts to help and rescue all animals and save our beautiful earthly home. I’ve learned from the animals about thankfulness, humility, and unconditional love. I hope that humankind would wake up and respect all living beings, including animals, stop eating meat and choose the noble vegan diet. Let us live harmoniously with the animals; let us live in an earthly home that’s loving, peaceful, and free of war and killing. Zhi-Sheng from China Tender-hearted Zhi-Sheng, We thank you for writing of your experiences and extend our heartfelt gratitude to you for all your kind and caring actions towards our noble animal friends. May others heed your words and adopt the vegan lifestyle so we may all enjoy world peace. We pray the Heavens infinitely bless you and the mindful Chinese people. In Universal Love, Supreme Master TV team P.S. Master has a heart-warming response for you: “Beneficent Zhi-Sheng, true caring souls like yourself look out for the animals and understand that each being’s life is so very precious. My thanks to you and others at the animal rescue center for saving our animal co-inhabitants from those who wish to do them harm and for loving them so much. May Buddha’s glorious Light shine upon you, your center’s residents and regal China.” We welcome your heartlines, stories and or cute, loving animal clips. Please send them via SupremeMasterTV.com/heartlineWe sure have enjoyed spending time with you on Noteworthy News. May your days be graced with divine sustenance.

So please pray with me, Mr. Pelletier, that everyone does wake up in time. Pray. I pray day and night that the Divine manifest in the physical realm and wake up the leaders of our nations, wake up the religious heads, wake up everybody in time so that they understand the urgency of our situation, and that they understand the solution of solving this dangerous crisis that is facing us. That is, we have to turn back to our caring and compassionate nature inside our heart. That’s very simple. We are that. We are compassion. We are merciful, we are caring. (They wanted me to ask one more thing.) Yeah, please. (Sometimes it takes an impending catastrophe to make us change and become much greater than we were before.) Oh. (Is this what’s happening with climate change? Is it, in fact, an opportunity for us to make an unprecedented leap in evolution?) Good question, sir, good question. You see, we should not have waited until we have a catastrophe like this, or impending catastrophe, to change. But, nevertheless, you’re right. It’s possible that when we’re faced with such a great upheaval, then we will change and we’ll make a leap into the next level. Especially now, we still have a little time to change; it’s just that we need to act now, you see, to profit from this so-called catastrophic future awaiting us. We have to act now for all of humanity. Because along with our own survival and health, there is an entire planet that is in trouble, and everyone needs to be vegan to save it. It’s a very simple solution that we might overlook. Because if we all change to vegan, put down the animal products, then we would have a dream world – that I promise. Because like begets like. We forget that the Bible told us that “as we sow, so shall we reap.” That means if we create peace, compassion and harmony, then that’s what we will get. Now, the impending catastrophe that you mention, it might be motivating us to change, the whole humanity. But to benefit from this opportunity, more people must act now. All of us must. We face a very dangerous future if global warming continues. In fact, distinguished scientists and other United Nations members have been meeting throughout this year in preparation for the December Copenhagen summit, where they hope to reach agreement on a treaty to replace the Kyoto Protocol. German Chancellor Angela Merkel was just here in Washington D.C., making a historic address to the US Congress, and asked the United States to help to lead in halting climate change. I would ask the same even though I am not a Chancellor. I’m sure many of you are aware of the increasing number of global warming effects noted worldwide, so I will share just a few from the world and from the United States. 1. In the Arctic, North Pole, so much ice has already melted that scientists are forecasting an ice-free summer within as little as three to six years, which would be the first time in one million years! Meanwhile, Greenland is shedding 85 million tons of icebergs each day due to warming, and at a rate that is increasing by 7% each year. The West Antarctic Ice Shelf is also melting, with 3.3 meter sea level rises forecast that would threaten cities like in your country, New York, Washington, D.C., and San Francisco. And if all of Antarctica and Greenland were to melt – meaning the ice – then the sea levels could rise to as much as 70 meters, which would be deadly or disastrous to most lives on Earth. 2. Glaciers across the globe are shrinking more quickly than researchers ever expected, leaving rivers and lakes gone, disappearing or drying, with no water for crops and billions who face food shortages due to water shortages, as well. 3. Due to rising sea levels, islands are sinking as we speak, with Tuvalu, Tonga and some 40 other island nations having to plan their whole country's migrations. They are being forced to join the already 20 million climate refugees today. The International Organization for Migration stated that there may be 200 million climate refugees by 2050. 4. According to researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology, United States of America, worldwide the number of the most destructive Category 4 and 5 hurricanes has doubled over the past 35 years. Category 5 storms yield the highest level of destruction in major cities. Their intensity and duration have also increased by 75% since the 1970s. One of these storms whose effects can still be seen and felt was the 2005 Hurricane Katrina, which devastated, especially, areas of New Orleans, with people who are still recovering their homes and their lives today. I am so sorry the American people have had to suffer through such tragedies. Now, in the United States: 1. Close to a million acres of pine forest have been lost in the Rocky Mountains due to beetle infestation from global warming. Similar also in Canada but, due to the time limit, I cannot report to you everything, so now we just report about the United States. 2. In the state of Montana, the famous glaciers of Glacier National Park are now expected to disappear within a decade. 3. According to a new study by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the Colorado River, which supplies water to seven Western states, is going dry. Famous river. 4. In fact, researchers say that the US West is facing a devastating drought crisis as snows from mountains are releasing vast reservoirs of water. 5. The sea level in North Carolina, USA, rose three times faster during the 20th century than during the previous 500 years. 6. The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said that for the first time on record, in 2008, six consecutive tropical cyclones made landfall on the US mainland. The North Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean are the two areas with the strongest hurricane trends. You may ask, what is the main cause of this damage and destruction to the environment? Perhaps surprisingly, it’s not the coal industry or cars or planes or trains or boats or ships. It’s methane, which is produced primarily by the livestock industry. A new and just-published report by the respected Worldwatch Institute states that livestock is the largest single contributor to greenhouse gases, responsible for more than 51% of the total emitted. This report factors in an atmospheric heat-trapping effect of methane that is 72 times - 72 times! – larger than CO2, when averaged over a 20-year period. Furthermore, just days after the Worldwatch Institute report was released, NASA announced that methane actually contributes much more to global warming than previously understood and it traps 100 times the atmospheric heat over 20 years. And the largest source of methane is? You know - livestock. Now, facts such as these have caused people like esteemed climate expert Lord Stern of the United Kingdom to state in an interview that “Meat is a wasteful use of water and creates a lot of greenhouse gases. It puts enormous pressure on the world’s resources. A vegetarian diet is better.” So I quote exactly what he said. Now, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization reported that livestock raising is the single largest human use of land, the biggest source of water pollution, the number one cause of biodiversity loss, and the top producer of human-caused methane and nitrous oxide. In fact, the United Nations has named livestock as one of the biggest environmental problems of our time with 90% of the destruction of the Amazon rainforest since 1970 being for cattle and growing animal feed. Lush forests are being turned into barren fields at a rate of 36 football fields per minute –of rainforest are being destroyed as we are speaking. If you can imagine how big that is, how detrimental that is to our world... the rainforest is the lung of our planet; it’s the health of our co-citizens. And as the trees are felled and plants become more exposed and dry, they even emit carbon dioxide rather than absorb it. This is another danger that is attacking us. Next, meat consumption is a very serious threat to human health. You ask any scientist, they’ll tell you this. You ask all the responsible doctors, they’ll tell you this. In fact, one of the doctors is sitting there; Dr. Greger, I saw him there. Now, bacterial infections from food-borne illnesses originate largely in animal products, causing widespread illnesses, disability and even death for thousands of Americans each year. The top four bacteria are E. coli, salmonella, Campylobacter, and listeriosis. Studies have shown that bacteria from contaminated raw meat can remain even after washing a working surface. And it only takes a few cells of E. coli, for example, to kill a young child. Just a few cells of E. coli to kill a young child, a young, little, tender child. Imagine that, just a few cells. Add to that, the leading causes of death in the United States, like from heart disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity. Every year, heart disease kills 632,000 Americans; cancer kills 560,000 Americans; stroke kills another 130,000 Americans; diabetes kills 72,000 Americans – just from meat eating. And we cry over war-related deaths. Who cries for these hundreds of thousands of Americans who die because of that piece of meat? Who cries for those young, helpless, innocent, little children who die just because of meat-related E. coli, just a few cells of it? So, ladies and gentlemen, meat is the worse killer than any war, don’t you agree? Yes or no? Yes! Thank you! Thank you! Then there are more diseases related to the production of the meat, like swine flu, which Dr. Michael Greger just explained very clearly, originates from animal farms. And the next pandemic, which could emerge any day now, any minute, could be worse for us, could be worse than swine flu. So, sir, to solve this, we do need to move quickly, and of course we know what to do, right? Yes? Be vegan. You know, yes or no? (Yes, we know.) Thank you. Wonderful people. Wonderful! You make my day. There is an advantage of time here, because one aspect of methane is that it dissipates in around 12 years’ time, whereas carbon dioxide, CO2, stays in the atmosphere for up to thousands of years. So, we remove the livestock-generated methane, and the planet cools fast! You see the logic? Yes. From many scientific studies, the health benefits of the vegan lifestyle are already clear. And there are entire communities such as Village of Peace in Israel, where thousands of vegan residents are free of diseases, such as high blood pressure, diabetes and even cancer. In the country of Ghana, there is a similar program where after becoming vegan for more than 20 years now, the villagers, the entire village, don't have malaria anymore; and you know how malaria attacks those countries in Africa. And the previous high infant mortality rate went down to zero. Before, high infant mortality rate… zero. I also applaud this program. So please pray with me, Mr. Pelletier, that everyone does wake up in time. Pray. I pray day and night that the Divine manifest in the physical realm and wake up the leaders of our nations, wake up the religious heads, wake up everybody in time so that they understand the urgency of our situation, and that they understand the solution of solving this dangerous crisis that is facing us. That is, we have to turn back to our caring and compassionate nature inside our heart. That’s very simple. We are that. We are compassion. We are merciful, we are caring. So, we just have been cheated. We have been misinformed up to now, so we did not know it. Being vegan worldwide is the advancement of compassion that will uplift and unify all cultures, bringing tranquility to humans and animals alike. The inner peace that comes from replacing killing with respect for all life will spread like a wave across the globe, elevate human hearts, and create a harmonious Eden on Earth. That will bring us all to a lasting Golden Era. Bless you. Thank you. I am positive we will do it. Yes? (Yes!) We can make it – just a little change, just a little change. Just a little piece of animal meat - change to vegetable protein. We have plenty nowadays. We have vegan sausages, we have vegan… all kinds of chicken, Shrimp look-alike – taste better! Thank you. I love Washington, D.C.! I love Washington people, you are so elite! Thank you! “(OK. What are your impressions of this conference?) (Well, I am truly very, very impressed by the advanced technology, even the advanced thinking. Because I come from a country where serious environmental problems are increasing. There are serious problems with famine rising. And I also work in planning to help people to sustain themselves using local resources. So, coming to this conference and discovering that we can feed people effectively with plant-based products that are produced in the community, there, I am really surprised and overwhelmed. What surprised me the most is the abundance of information delivered, especially by Supreme Master Ching Hai. Really, She has very seriously researched on the matter and has provided sufficient information to convince people to give up the meat diet and I really believe we must make a shift. So, changing the way of living towards more vegetarian, it is the best option available to Africa.)” “(You've eaten cooked food that is vegan-based, even fake meat, what is your impression? Is this the first time you’ve discovered it?) (This is my first time. I ate and I asked a person next to me, ‘But in the conference, they asked us to eat organic, vegetarian. But they give us meat here, why?’ She told me, ‘No, it is not meat. This is vegetarian meat, the fake meat.’ So I was surprised because I did not know how to distinguish between animal meat and vegetarian ‘meat’. So I really encourage people to eat vegetarian food. There’s no difference. You have the same taste, the same consistency on the palate. Anyway, I urge you to eat vegetarian food. And it also makes you healthy. That's the most interesting thing. It is the goal of food, a diet that allows you to be healthy. I am working in environment area, and I am defending public health. So there are a number of alternatives that, really, by attending this conference, I could integrate, bring it back to my country. I think She (Supreme Master Ching Hai) is someone who really deserves much attention through the richness and the depth of the matters She provides to the community, the messages of peace and love She brings along, and much more than that through a more sustainable lifestyle that grants a better health for the community. Really Her message deserves to be heard.)”

The development of a high-tech mask was announced by the mask manufacturing company AirPop during the CES 2021 consumer electronics trade show. AirPop’s new product and companion app track the breath, the air quality, and the mask filter's effectiveness. The AirPop company’s reusable mask comes with replaceable filters. In mid-2020 another innovation was reported - a new self-sanitizing med

Let’s start by hearing how changing to a vegan diet altered John’s perspective on animal cruelty. “The decision to stop eating animals and to become vegan was the best decision I’ve ever made in my life. I did it because I didn’t want to contribute to animal cruelty anymore. I’ve definitely felt like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders, and it’s been a beautiful thing. I feel like I can now

So we have to purify ourselves, really be sincere and humble at all times, meditate whenever possible. It’s good that you have a job, very busy job, so your mind will not play tricks on you. You have no time.Ask another question, please. (The next question is about the UFOs, Master.) UFO? OK. (Yes. Master, recently a British newspaper published that the Pentagon has admitted to holding and testing anomalous debris from UFOs. A researcher says that the documents reveal some of the retrieved debris possess extraordinary capabilities, including the potential to make things invisible) Yes. (or even slow down the speed of light. Including another interesting report on a mysterious memory metal called “Nitinol,” which remembers its original shape when it’s folded.) Oh, OK. How does it remember? (It’s a mysterious memory metal.) Ah, OK. (So, Master, does this outstanding admission by such a government department as the Pentagon have some deeper meaning behind it? And could it signify a new stage for Earthlings’ open-mindedness?) Yeah. It’s about time they admit something. (Yes.) Not much anyway. Never mind. Whatever unfolds, you will see. (Yes, Master.) I’m no psychic. I’m no clairvoyant, whatever you want me to do, or “hula hula hup,” these fortune teller stuff. (Yes, Master.) Whatever the government doesn’t want you to know, better leave it as is, or we might get into trouble. It’s not our field. (Yes, Master. Right, Master.) Unless it hurts somebody, then I will be fearless. Whatever toys they find or develop, we’ll let them play with it. (Yes, Master.) They knew this long ago already. Not just now. (Yes, Master.) I guess they have been pressured to release something. Otherwise, it will boil over. (Yes.) Some people canalreadymake themselves invisible or transport themselves somewhere else. (Oh, wow!) (Wow!) Or like teletransporting. They call it “teletransporting.” But we don’t need that. We take a bus, it’s quick. Airplane. (Yes, Master.) We don’t need much else, actually. We need to fly to Heaven, that’s all we need. (Yes, Master.) And that’s what you’re doing every day and helping others to do the same. (Yes, Master.) All right. That’s it. Because wherever you go in this world, you are still here. Visible or not, flying or walking, you’re still in this prison. (Yes.) No big deal. (Right. Yes, Master.) Even if you go to Mars, you are still in the shadow illusionary world. (Yes, Master.) Only some people awaken and realize that we are not real. Then they’re seeking a Master and they’re seeking a method to liberate themselves from this big dream, hallucination dream. (Yes, Master.) Then that’s where we join in. The rest, I don’t care. My God. Even if you can fly in the air… Of course, it’s useful sometimes when you’re in an emergency, if you are in a life-and-death situation, like I have been sometimes. I wish I could use that. But otherwise, where are you flying on this planet anyway? (Right.) (Yes, Master.) The max is you go to New York, or you go to London, you go to Paris. And then what? Sit there, drink a coffee. Take an airplane, can also do the same. Long time ago, the Buddha wanted to cross a river, and there was no boat at that time, so He was waiting. And there was a man, a yogi, who showed off. He walked across the river in front of the Buddha to mock Him, saying that He is the World Honored One and could not even walk on the water to go over to the other side of the bank. So, the Buddha asked him, “How long did you practice until you could do that?” He said, “About 25 or 30 years,” something like that. Decades anyway. He said, “Oh, I just paid 20 pennies and I can go across.” You understand? (Yes, Master.) Instead of practicing 20 years, He paid 20 cents. So, is that OK for your UFO question? (Yes, Master.) You still want to fly somewhere or disappear or something? You can’t disappear, you have to work! Otherwise, the world will disappear. Don’t wait for that. (Yes, Master.) And then we all will disappear. (Yes, Master.) Even if we disappear, I would like this planet to be a better place. To let the animals free. To let the poor bystanders be free of fear, and bombing, and amputating, and mental disturbing, and peace ruining, all that. (Yes, Master.) Even if you go into a house as a guest, you leave it clean and nice before you leave. (Yes, Master.) Yes. Out of respect. Out of gratefulness. Same. We are guests here on this planet and we mess it all up for everybody. It’s not nice. (Yes, Master.) The Muslims say that… God says, “Be a good guest on Earth.” And we are not a good guest at all. We are terrible. We are terrifying everybody on this planet – other guests, and the host, and whomever we can. That’s not nice. That’s not gentlemanly. Next question, if you’re done. (Yes, Master. Thank You, Master.) (In a recent Fly-In News, Master mentioned that She was trying hard to negotiate with Heaven. Master, may we know how the negotiation is going? Do we have a fixed period of time to fulfill the conditions Heaven is demanding?) Oh, man. Go ask God! You ask the humans, and they will answer you. Because I can’t control their mind, I can’t tell them what to do. Negotiate is one thing; humans’ cooperation is another thing. Do you understand me? (Yes, Master.) They just do not cooperate. That is the problem. (Yes.) Some do, but very slow and very little. So, the negotiation is also slow and little. (Yes, Master.) Except that we can stop many deaths and many sufferings. (Yes.) A lot – millions. Millions of deaths, millions of sufferings. That’s all we can do. But further than that, the humans have to show some goodwill. (Yes.) Because they have been taught right from wrong for millennia already. (Yes, Master.) For eons of time already, by many Masters. Much blood of the Masters and saints and sages has been shed for them. And if they don’t wake up and they don’t want to do the right thing… Or even if you call that a “sacrifice” not to kill animals anymore, not to hurt anyone anymore, even if you call that a sacrifice, then you should do it for others, for your children. But it’s not a sacrifice; it’s the right way to do things. It’s not right to hurt anyone! Especially the animals. They’re helpless. They’re innocent. They’re so sweet. And they protect you no end, and they bless you no end! My God. Every day the animals come and tell me this and that. Because there are some places I cannot stay. I had to leave, due to some disciples. Because they’re low level, and they’re clinging. They send their low energy and make trouble for me and make me sick and all that. Because we have the connection. The outsiders can also make me trouble, but it’s not their intention. The disciples do it, some with intention, because of low-level thinking, because of selfishness. (Yes, Master.) And all the animals come and tell me, “Don’t go in there, don’t go in here, don’t stay here, don’t do this, don’t do that, because your peace will be disturbed, you will be not well.” Of course, I know that, but sometimes I’m just too tired to keep moving. I did move eventually, because − ah, God, I cannot not move. (Yes, Master.) Therefore, these two weeks, I didn’t talk to you. Is it two weeks already, or more? (About two weeks, Master.) Last time, we talked is the 10th of March, right? (Yes.) What is today? (26th.) 26. So that’s more than two weeks. (Yes.) I wanted to do it earlier but I was so tired and then moving. Every time I move, because I’m alone, I have to rearrange things for myself, (Yes.) to make it more convenient and comfortable for me to work. And just convenient, just to survive on, to live on, in peace. So it takes some time to be alone. You know when you go somewhere, when there’s nothing there for you, you have to do this, do that. (Yes.) Just that even every time for a conference with you, I have to arrange things. (Thank You, Master.) So, every time I talk to you, I have to rearrange everything, and later I have to rearrange it again, because the computer where I work is not the computer where I am talking to you. (Right. Yes.) It has to be a different angle and different corner of the house. (Yes, Master.) You, all of the disciples, should worry about meditation, purifying yourself so that you can be higher in consciousness. Otherwise, even if you want to help the world, you cannot, it’s just more mess. Other people don’t know anything about God and just like your hand, if your hand is muddy, dirty, whatever you touch, it becomes (Dirty.) dirty. Even if you want to clean the computer, the computer becomes (Dirty.) dirty, like that. So important is to make ourselves pure and clean, and kind inside. Then anything else, whatever we can help, we do, but if we ourselves are a mess, we cannot do much. (Understand, Master. Yes.) Just like a mentally incapable person, he cannot help a sane person, even if he wants to. (Yes, Master.) He wouldn’t know how, (Yes.) or his concept about helping is different from the way he should do. (Yes, Master.) Similar. So we have to purify ourselves, really be sincere and humble at all times, meditate whenever possible. It’s good that you have a job, very busy job, so your mind will not play tricks on you. You have no time. (Yes, Master.) Because we say that, “An idle mind is a devil’s workshop.” (Yes.) It is like that. It is like that. Thus, maybe that’s also another reason that the Buddhist monks and nuns, they’re so busy studying all the Buddha’s teaching, because the Buddha preached about maybe until 80 years. (Yes, Master.) Many, many decades, a lot of sutras for them to study, and they believe in the sutra, in the holy books of the Buddhist teaching. So they all learn or go find a higher monk to learn and study all that, and try to think of what’s the meaning, or reciting every day until they know by heart. Some you have to know by heart, there’s some rituals, you have to know what to do. So they’re busy all the time. So the evil has no time to mess up their minds. I don’t know if the Christian priests are that busy or not. They have only one Bible to study, so maybe too much free time. Too much prestige and privilege, too much respect from followers, too much support, and too much time. Too much freedom. (Yes, Master.) And it’s too free. Eat anything, drink anything, you do anything. That is not very good for monkhood, I’m thinking my humble opinion. (Yes, Master.)

In today’s news, Japan contributes to reconstruction and peacebuilding initiative for Iraq, new study shows global warming behind Europe’s severe winters, New Zealand seeking to be smoke-free by 2025, rice farmers share fields with migratory birds in California, USA, thousands of animals rescued by small charity in India, Canadian survey finds vegan diet good for cats, and disabled baby alpaca in Germany walks using wheelchair. Japan donates to peacebuilding and reconstruction project in Iraq. A Shining World Leadership Award laureate for Compassion, Animal Protection and Generosity, Japan has contributed US$3.5 million to the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) to encourage conflict-displaced residents of Sinjar, Ninewa Governorate to return. The funds will be used for the repair and rebuilding of houses damaged by strife as well as the rehabilitation of water, hygiene and sanitation facilities. Additionally, the money will be utilized for job training and creation for young people. Japan has been a steadfast supporter for Iraq’s reconstruction and has donated over US$500 million in humanitarian assistance since 2014. The United Nations is a laureate of the Shining World Leadership Award for Humanitarianism and two Shining World Leadership for Lives-Saving-Hero Awards. Our sincere accolades, UN-Habitat and Japan, for your compassion and dedicated efforts to improve the living conditions for Iraq’s peace-loving people. May all our Iraqi brothers and sisters enjoy stability, serenity and joy, in Allah’s infinite blessings. Climate change driving Europe’s extreme winter weather. Oulu University, Finland scientists and an international team of researchers have released a study explaining how a warming climate created the intense cold and snow in Europe during a February 2018 weather event dubbed the “Beast of the East.” In previous centuries, and even 40 years ago, the Arctic’s Barents Sea was covered in ice in winter. Now, much of the sea ice has melted, and the water that evaporates into the atmosphere later falls as snow. The team calculated that 140 gigatons of water evaporated from the Barents Sea and made up 88% of the storm’s snowfall. They warn of more such severe winter events, if warming continues. Our genuine appreciation, Oulu University scientists and others, for your work that shows the immediate need to heal our precious planet. May we do all we can, starting by adopting the blessed vegan lifestyle, in Divine radiance. Up next, New Zealand seeking to be smoke-free by 2025. We’ll just pause to thank the kitchen and bath designers that provide design consultations for remodeling old spaces or designing new ones. We’ll be right back, with more conscientious news on Supreme Master Television. Hallo, virtuous friends, it’s Michiko the vegan Japanese Macaque! People say I have keen and original insights. Want to enhance your own intuition? Switch to a wholesome vegan diet like I did! We have a useful tip for you today. If you are potting a houseplant, make sure you use quality potting soil. Steer clear from using dirt from your yard since bugs may come inside along with it. You may want to pour a layer of horticultural sand on the soil’s surface to deter fungus gnats from laying eggs there. You will be able to water the plant through the sand. You can use other eco-friendly soil-topping alternatives such as those made out of crushed recycled glass that also keep fungus gnats from depositing eggs in your potted plant’s soil. Thank you for watching. Lots of love for Being Veg and Going Green 2 Save the Planet for all of us humans and all co-inhabitants alike. Now the weather from around the world. New Zealand plans to be smoke-free by 2025. The nation is currently working on the Smokefree Aotearoa (the Māori name for New Zealand) 2025 Action Plan, which would gradually increase the legal smoking age and then outlaw tobacco sales to anyone born after 2004. Decreasing the amount of nicotine in tobacco, restricting where cigarettes will be sold, and a minimum price for tobacco products would also be established. Through such strong proposed measures, the country hopes to prevent the demise of 4,500 citizens who succumb annually to tobacco-related health issues. New Zealand is a recipient of Shining World Leadership Awards for Compassion and Peace, and a laureate of two Shining World Leadership Awards for Climate-Change Mitigation, and Shining World Leadership Awards for Earth Conservation, Earth Protection, Earth Guardian, and Earth Restoration. Kudos, New Zealand, for your endeavor to protect your citizens by becoming a smoke-free nation. In the love of the Providence, may your plan soon become law, thus furthering your kind people’s health and happiness. California, USA program facilitates sharing of rice fields with birds. Environmental non-profits Audubon California, Point Blue, and The Nature Conservancy in the United States formed a group called the Migratory Bird Conservation Partnership (MBCP), to revive wildlife habitat areas that have been turned into farmlands. In California’s Central Valley, 95% of the region’s wetlands have been converted to agricultural fields. Migratory birds can still use the land through MBCP’s BirdReturns program, which was successfully launched in 2012. The initiative pays rice farmers to flood their fields in the offseason, thus providing a food source and shelter to our feathered friends. In turn, the birds fertilize and aerate the ground. Such a loving endeavor, Migratory Bird Conservation Partnership, to encourage the sharing of farmlands with our gentle avian co-inhabitants. In God’s grace, may your program expand as we increasingly provide loving care to the animals on our planet. Small Indian animal charity saves thousands of animals. Based in Ballari, Karnataka, India, Humane World for Animals was founded by Nikitha Iyer in 2012 after a personal encounter with animal cruelty. The non-governmental organization’s (NGO’s) five team members have rescued over 6,000 animals to date – including dogs, cats, cows, pigs, birds and even some wildlife with the assistance of the local forest department. The NGO helps to rehabilitate sick, injured, and abused homeless animals, supports local people who feed the animals, as well as conducts animal welfare awareness programs in schools and colleges. It has also started its own veterinary clinic with nominal service fees, with the profits going towards treating rescued animals. Other focuses include a stray dog birth control project, an anti-rabies vaccination program, in addition to cooperating with the police department to help address animal abuse. Three cheers, Nikitha Iyer and team, for your caring spirit and compassionate work! May all our furry and feathered friends thrive, in Heaven’s infinite blessings. Supreme Master Ching Hai: “Gratefully present the Shining World Compassion Award to Humane World for Animals, plus a US$10,000 contribution to humbly support your caring rescue and rehabilitation work for our vulnerable animal friends. May you and all involved be forever protected in God’s mercy.” Coming up, survey finds vegan diet good for cats. We’ll pause for a moment to enjoy the poetic singing and heroic epic-storytelling tradition known as Olonkho, a UNESCO-recognized Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, performed by the Yakuts, a Turkic people of the Sakha Republic in Russia. Please stay tuned to Supreme Master Television for more thoughtful news. Welcome back to Noteworthy News – Favorable News for a Magnificent World. Canadian research finds plant-based diet healthy for cats. A study conducted by the Ontario Veterinary College of the University of Guelph in Canada indicates that cats on a vegan diet had better body condition scores than those felines eating a meat diet. The cats on plant-based diets were also reported to have fewer health issues such as hepatic and gastrointestinal diseases. The study included kittens as young as 4 months to senior cats up to 23 years old. The data came from a survey of 1,320 Canadian and American cat caregivers, who filled out a questionnaire on their companion’s health. Twenty percent of the participants fed their feline friend a vegan diet. Our heartfelt thanks, Ontario Veterinary College researchers, for this valuable information showing that cats can thrive when consuming only a plant-based diet that is nutritionally sound. May all our cute feline friends enjoy robust health, in Celestial splendor. Kind woman in Germany helps disabled baby alpaca walk for first time. Ronja Pohn from Frankfurt, Germany, spotted Marie, a physically challenged young alpaca, at a friend’s farm and decided to give her a new life. Marie’s hind legs were severely injured due to a traumatic birth, which her mother sadly did not survive. After bringing the darling friend to the farm where she works, Ms. Pohn then took Marie to a veterinarian who amputated one of her damaged legs. Following that, a custom-made rear-support wheelchair was created, and Marie is now able to move around on her own and socialize with other animals in the barn. Ms. Pohn will get Marie an artificial leg to help her live a more normal life, as soon as she can carry the weight on her back leg. Our gratitude, Ronja Pohn, for your care and efforts. May brave Marie have many more joyous years with her human and animal friends, in Heaven’s immense love. Let us start and end the day with a happy smile!

I am always grateful and I have a special place in my heart for the United States of America and her citizens as shining examples of the democratic spirit. I am always impressed by this young, self-made nation that has excelled in strength and leadership through her people’s sheer determination, sincerity and faith.(And now comes the moment we have all been waiting for, the moment when we get to greet our special Guest of Honor, Supreme Master Ching Hai.) (Hallo, Supreme Master Ching Hai. You look so beautiful!) Hallo, my love. Hallo, everyone. Thank you. (We are extremely grateful that You could join us here in Washington, D.C.) (Supreme Master Ching Hai, we have been discussing the urgency of climate change and the solutions to many of our problems, and that a vegan diet offers a solution. We also have been talking about the dawn of a new Golden Era here on Earth.) Yes. (We have many guests with us here this evening, as well as our worldwide viewers, who would like to ask You some questions. But before we begin the question-and-answer session, is there anything You would like to say to our guests and viewers?) Yes, I would like. I would like to thank all the beautiful people for coming. And I am very honored to be with them once again in the company of the great, goodhearted, intelligent people of America, including the distinguished guests, dignitaries, and illustrious speakers who are leaders in their fields of government, science, environment, and health. I have been listening quietly. Well, I have been in your country, the United States, many times, including the magnificent nation’s capital, Washington, D.C., and I have always been welcomed so much, so much, no matter where I go. For this, I am always grateful and I have a special place in my heart for the United States of America and her citizens as shining examples of the democratic spirit. I am always impressed by this young, self-made nation that has excelled in strength and leadership through her people’s sheer determination, sincerity and faith. And I believe that the courageous actions needed at this urgent time would be led by Americans. Your high standards of integrity and deep love for your families and country will bring about the crucial steps needed to save our precious planet, our home, and the one we want for our children and grandchildren. May this important event be fruitful and beneficial to the participants and the world. Thank you all for being here. God loves us all. God bless you all. Thanks a lot.(Thank You, Supreme Master Ching Hai, for Your insightful words and for Your beautiful dress today. You look absolutely gorgeous.) Thank you. This is vegan fur. Vegan fur, it’s not real fur. (Yes.) I designed it. Also the jewelry. You know, right? Look at how beautiful… You don’t have to wear real fur. It’s beautiful. It’s much more beautiful. And you feel so light wearing it because you don’t have a bad conscience. And so warm, so warm. I have something better inside. I also designed it. Look at this. See? Look: Be Veg, Go Green, Save the Planet.(Master, You look like a queen.)Thanks a lot. I am the “queen of hearts!” “To the queen of heart is the ace of…” beauty! I don’t want to sing that song, it’s a little bit sad, so, we sing some better song. I leave you to do it. All right, let’s get down to business because all of you are busy.(Well, we have several questions that our guests this evening would like to ask You. Are You ready for us to begin?) Yes, ma’am. (Our first questioner is a software developer named Jerry Pelletier.)(Hi, my name is, like they said, Jerry Pelletier.) Welcome. (Thank you. My mother, Chanmo was a devoted follower of Your teachings for many, many years.) I know her. (Yes, I knew, I knew.) She’s a Buddhist nun. (Yes, yes.) Yes, and she’s a very, very beautiful woman. (Yes.) (My question is that this world we share and made up of many countries, and the activities of one country affect the health and wellbeing of other countries. It’s kind of… the analogy I can make is the smoking and non-smoking sections of a restaurant. So, right now I think the world is… there’s more smokers than non-smokers. So what can we do? Is it just one person at a time? Is it a country at a time? What can we do to get everybody on the same sheet of music to change the way we live to save this world we live in?)Yeah, what can we do? We have to change ourselves first. It begins with us. Since time immemorial, evolution always begins with the individual. If we want to change the world, we change ourselves first. Now, even if the government forbids smoking or drinking or drugs, but if people individually continue, then we have not made much difference. So now, we have to change. For example, we change a little bit, our habit, just a very little bit. Like, we put down that piece of meat, and then we replace it with tofu or some other vegetarian (vegan) protein. Just a little change, very little change, and then the world will change, and then we will continue to live here, and then we can have a better world. Everything will change for the better. Just a little change like that. Anything else you want to ask? Are you happy with my answer? (Very much so, thank You.) “(Fate brought me here today, because I think I learned some things here that convinced me to change some of the ways I live. Hopefully, I’ll be able to spread some of that word to change the way some other people live that are close to me. I'm certainly going to consider my diet. I can probably cut back on meat. I can probably get rid of, certainly, the red meat. It's the idea of compassion, and a whole different view of my impact on the Earth and on the planet. And listening to the Supreme Master and the sense of compassion and love that emanates from Her is just wonderful, so it was inspiring. It was like going to church today.)” “(So, what made the biggest impact on you while you were here?) (Actually, it was the presentation by the last speaker, Supreme Master Ching Hai, one of the most Godly… a woman full of wisdom, and Her ambiance of spirituality. Very deep. And She has a world view not just from the country that She represents, but a world view, in helping the world.)”“(So do you think you'll make any changes based on the things you heard today, any changes in your life?)(Yes, I'm going to change the way I eat. Absolutely!)”

“In ancient times, the spiritual practitioners who are connected to Heaven, at times tried to replicate the mesmerizing, wonderful music of the celestial abode by creating instruments. So, many of the instruments we have – like the harp, the piano, the violin, the flute, the Scottish bagpipes, etc. – they all correlate with the sounds of real Heavenly realms, except the real ones are much more inc

Today we travel to Manaslu, a remote mountainous region of west-central Nepal, to visit the Shree Lho Basic School. Founded in 2010 by Reverend Acharya Sonam Dorje Rinpoche, the school has offered education and boarding free of charge to children of surrounding villages. Thanks to this loving and compassionate deed of the Reverend Rinpoche, the children are able to receive a proper education. “The

We are sinning because we are destroying our planet. (Yes, Master.) We are sinning because we are torturing other humans and bombing them, killing them, (Yes.) innocent bystanders, for any reason. And we are sinning because we’re torturing, oppressing the helpless animals every second of our life.We are sinning because we are destroying our planet. (Yes, Master.) We are sinning because we are torturing other humans and bombing them, killing them, (Yes.) innocent bystanders, for any reason. And we are sinning because we’re torturing, oppressing the helpless animals every second of our life. (Yes, Master.) Now talking about sin, then let’s talk more sin. (Yes, Master.) For money, you kill people. For fame and position, you oppress opponents, you blame them for things they did not do, you wrongly accuse them. You give fake news all over the nation or the planet so that people will hate them, not vote for them, or harass them or harass their followers. (Yes, Master.) “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.” These are not sinning? Then what are they then? In a big, big, big, huge scale. (Yes, Master.) The gay people, they only love one person. Even if they sin, they only sin (on a) small scale (Yes, Master.) compared to the people who are bombing, killing other nations’ citizens, no matter what reason. (Yes, Master.) And then killing innocent animals every day, (Yes.) the ones who have no defense, no one to protect them, no law, nothing. Even they make laws themselves, they say, “Oh, the citizens cannot oppress animals, cannot harass them, cannot torture them, cannot cause them pain or anxiety or anything at all.” But what are they doing every day in the slaughterhouse?! (Yes, Master.) Tell me! And all the lawmakers know that! Or don’t they!? (They know, Master, they know.) Yes! From the president to the policeman to the sweeper on the street. The lawmakers made them for them, but including the lawmakers themselves! (Yes, Master.) If you make a law, you expect that to be followed. (Yes.) Because the government said, “Oh, you don’t steal, and if somebody because they are hungry or poor or has no job, has to go steal some food or some money to survive, then he goes to jail.” Does he not? (Yes, Master.) And how about the law – not harassing animals, not cause them pain and suffering, not causing them fear and all that? Nobody… excuse me, I’m just too, I’m just freaking out, talking about raw emotion. Sorry. I think you don’t think I’m a Master anymore, I’m talking like a… I don’t know what, politician or something. It really freaks me out. It really hurts me. (Understand, Master.) Don’t bother cutting this. Let them see. (Yes, Master.) It’s all real, I’m all real. (Yes.) I don’t have anything to hide or to play theater or anything. So, you see what I’m saying now? (Yes, Master.) If we want to talk about sin, well, we can make a list of it or books about them. (Right. Yes, Master.) Why trampling upon those poor, helpless gay couples? All they want is just a loving company for their life, to have them, taking care of each other in times of need, and to share happiness when they are joyful together. Even if it’s a sin, I would ask God to overlook it. Because everybody else sins more than they do. (Yes.) What do you think? (Yes, Master.) (We agree.) Yeah, so I talked a lot already. And you’re making me into trouble perhaps. I don’t care! I have to say what is correct. (Yes, Master. Thank You, Master.) I feel sorry, I could cry for them. Can you imagine how they feel, (Yes, Master.) these people? (Yes.) Still shunned by many. (Yes, Master.) Feeling they are not normal, they are sick or something. It’s not fair. If God wants to blame, then Hes should blame Hirmself. That’s what I think. I’m sorry if God wants to put me to hell or something, I say the truth. You accept it. Even if God tells me not to bless them and I’m a priest, I would. (Yes, Master.) I cannot give them more pain than they’re already in. Don’t you think so? (Yes, Master.) Yeah, I cannot trample upon somebody who is already almost on the ground. (Yes, Master.) Just like you make fun of a handicapped person. Is that OK? (No, Master.) (No, it’s not.) You know already he’s a handicapped person. You don’t keep picking on him, say, “Oh, why do you have only one eye?” (Yes.) Something like that. Or, “Why do you have only one leg? You don’t look like any of us. You useless thing.” Stuff like that. It’s the same, right? (Yes, Master.) Knowing people are handicapped already, and tell them they are bad? Is that correct? (No, Master.) I don’t know if God said anything like that, or somebody added it on. (Yes.) Because why say only about men? Why not about women? Woman lesbians, they’re also together. (Yes, Master.) That’s not fair. I don’t think God said anything like that. I think maybe added on, later on. (Yes, Master.) Or somebody for personal purposes. I think I abolish this, if God permits. Even if God doesn’t, I would like that to be abolished, this sin or law or whatever that is, because it’s not fair. (Yes, Master.) Sin is the one who knows that he should not do it, in his position as a priest, and still harassing, molesting an innocent, helpless teenager, minor, who is looking upon him as a god, as a representative of God, as a holy person, as a teacher for the blurry road that he’s treading on every day in this world; he looks upon the priests, the monks, as his master, as someone who is wise and holy. And if he turns around, and betrays that trust from an innocent, and even causes pain and suffering, psychologically, mentally, physically to that little minor, then that is a sin! (Yes, Master.) And I cannot talk enough of that. Can you imagine if it’s you, yourself? All alone, small, with these big and powerful people, or even a stranger, and you are frightened. No one is there to help you when you scream in pain and terror. My God! All right, I think we had enough of that. The reason other religions, we don’t hear much in the monkhood, in the priesthood of other religions, is because I told you already, Buddhism is a very broad teaching. Either they eat vegan, or they go out begging and people give them what they give and they just eat that. Or like Tibetan monks, they even eat meat, also. But they don’t kill, of course. Even all the Tibetans, they don’t kill. They let the Muslims kill for them. My God, (it’s) just the same. At least, they know. (Yes, Master.) Either they stay in the monkhood and obey exactly the precepts, or he defrocks himself, go out, marry. It’s no problem. Nobody would even point fingers at him or her, saying blah blah blah – nothing. (Yes, Master.) So, even in Buddhism, we have some temporary monks also. They can be monks, one week, two weeks, one month, two months, one year, two years. (Yes.) Like going to the army. So, because of the very clear teaching of the Buddha, in Buddhism, we don’t hear any of these scandals, about monks molesting minors and all that stuff. Up to now, this old age, I never heard anything about them. And Muslim priests also, we don’t hear of that, because they are also very strict. They’re very, very strict. They’re very, very focused on their work as monks. Or there’re also married monks, married priests. Other religions are also very strict about that, very clear. And they are more temperate in food choices. More. (Right.) The Buddhists, for example, that’s very clear. It’s also clear in Christianity because in Leviticus, it says that you don’t do that anyway. So, if they believe in the Bible, as a Holy Bible, then they shouldn’t do that. Especially forcing the minors who are vulnerable, helpless, and don’t dare to tell anybody. Probably shocked them for their whole life. (Yes.) And stunt their growth. Or smashing their faith, forever. So that is a real sin. (Yes, Master.) Anything else, I think it’s better just don’t talk about it. Oh, I just… All people would feel like it’s all fake, all fake. It’s all fake, and false, and… My God, what are they doing with Jesus’ teaching? Oh, my God! They make an empire out of it, for gain and fame, and respect, and privilege. That is a sin. (Yes, Master.) Not a couple who love each other and want to be together all their lives and just ask them to be witnesses, and to bless them. If they even have any blessing, at all. (Yes, Master.) Otherwise, if they are sinners, then a sinner blesses a sinner, what’s the use of that? (Yes. Right. Yes, Master.) I’m very angry inside. I’m an angry Master. (No, Master.) I’m a very angry vegan Master. When it comes to injustice and the suffering of children, and animals. Because they are helpless. (Yes, Master.) The adults, they can fend for themselves, but children, they don’t know what to do. (Right, Master. Yes.) They probably never dare say to anybody. So, many of these incidents never come to light. (Yes, Master.) Only a little bit recently, and the church didn’t do much. Symbolically here and there. My God! Oh, may God forgive us all, Ultimate Master, God Almighty, forgive all of us. Please. Because we also don’t know what to do with each other, with cases like this. We just have to pray for forgiveness and not accusing any of them. I’m not accusing. I’m just feeling tremendously painful for the children. Imagine if it’s you. (Yes, Master.) You’re a kid only, you never knew anything like this, and you are taught to respect these priests and monks or nuns, whatever. And they sell you! (Yes.) They abuse you, they molest you, and they sell you even. (Yes.) You read the news. I don’t want to talk anymore. (Yes, Master.) My God, make a business out of an orphanage, out of the orphan boys! (Yes.) Or girls. What wicked evil! (Unimaginable.) Talking about satan and devils, and all that. Where are they? If they are in the church like that, then we don’t know where else to run for refuge. You understand what I’m saying? (Yes, Master.)

In today’s news, textbooks distributed to schools in South Sudan, children may be vulnerable to lasting effects of coronavirus, unidentified bacteria found aboard International Space Station, Australian city to pave street using recycled tires, teenager in United States donates birthday money for kids’ outfits, Hong Kong specialty shop features raw vegan cheese, and new research relates yawning of lions with unity of the pride. Students gain access to precious textbooks. The global fund Education Cannot Wait (ECW) has financed a far-reaching initiative to supply boys and girls in South Sudan with more than a million books. Distribution is being coordinated by Save the Children in collaboration with the Norwegian Refugee Council, Finn Church Aid and the government’s Ministry of General Education and Instruction. The learning materials will be delivered to 3,792 primary and secondary schools in six states. Rama Hansraj, Country Director of Save the Children, commented, “We believe that these 1.12 million textbooks will reduce the high pupil-to-textbook ratio, thereby allowing more children to get access to textbooks.” Our profound appreciation, Education Cannot Wait, Save the Children and all participating agencies. May the bright-eyed youth of South Sudan receive the education they need to realize their full potential, in Heaven’s embrace. Some children continue to suffer from coronavirus symptoms. Although COVID-19 in young people tends to be less severe than in adults, there is increasing evidence that juveniles may be vulnerable to its lasting effects. Teenagers have reported general fatigue, headaches, inability to concentrate as well as impaired mental processing for months after having the disease. At Germans Trias Hospital in Badalona, Spain, a department has been established for treating youngsters with “long COVID.” In partnership with Institut Guttmann, the unit offers a program of physical and respiratory exercises that focus on neurorehabilitation. Approximately 60 patients are currently enrolled, with doctors and parents trusting that the boys and girls will eventually recover. We offer our heartfelt gratitude to the medical professionals who are doing their best to counteract the relentless virus. And we pray that everyone on the planet will do their part by going vegan and making peace, in Divine mercy. Up next, unidentified bacteria found aboard International Space Station. We’ll take a moment to thank the structural engineers, who design and oversee construction of buildings, bridges and tunnels to achieve maximum strength and durability. Please stay tuned to Supreme Master Television for more brightening news. Good day, elated viewers! I’m Hurley the vegan Zebra. Do you want to know the secret of my inner peace? My vegan lifestyle ensures that no one gets hurt! Here’s a handy tip if you are caring for an older adult who has forgotten how to brush their teeth. Stand on their dominant side – that means on their right side if they are right-handed. As you hold the toothbrush, have them grasp your hand. You will do the brushing, but the placement of their fingers around your wrist will help them to feel that they are doing it themselves. Before you start, put your other hand on the person’s shoulder that is closest to you. Apply gentle downward pressure to create a distraction that will lessen any unease they may feel about the teeth cleaning. Love you so much for Being Veg and Going Green 2 Save the Planet for all humans and us all co-inhabitants. Thank you for tuning in, and now for the weather around the globe. New microorganisms may help grow food on future space flights. Routine checks for bacterial growth inside the International Space Station have uncovered four different species, only one of which has been seen before. The cleanliness of the environment is monitored in places like dining tables, panels in research areas and in the cupola observatory, because microbes that can survive in space may jeopardize the crew and their mission. Fortunately, the three unidentified bacteria appear to be related to Methylobacterium indicum, a strain known to promote plant growth and defend against pathogens. Researchers are intrigued since such novel organisms could make it easier to cultivate crops during trips to Mars. Fascinating news, courageous astronauts and industrious scientists! May you always be protected in your work, in the blessings of the Providence. Experimental pavement technology diverts waste from landfills. Yarra Council, in Victoria, Australia, has received a grant from the state’s Sustainable Infrastructure Fund, which promotes using recycled materials and building a circular economy. The city will construct a center median for Mcilwraith Street in the Princes Hill district that will consist of 70% recycled tires plus salvaged glass and rock. The process not only puts discarded articles and debris to good use, but also yields a road surface that is permeable and retains water. It is expected that adjacent trees and plants will respond to the additional moisture. Victoria has admirably allocated close to US$300 million to support 17 similar infrastructure projects in the state over the next 10 years. Way to go, Yarra and Victoria, for your forward-thinking initiatives! In God’s love, we pray that governments of all sizes will see the wisdom in reusing our planetary resources as much as possible. Generous teenager puts kids’ needs before her own. Jewelyssa Yanes of Phoenix, Arizona, USA, received a sizable sum of money for her quinceañera – the traditional Latino celebration of a girl’s fifteenth birthday. Instead of keeping it all for herself, the thoughtful young lady felt she wanted to improve others’ lives. She got in touch with the Assistance League of Phoenix, a nonprofit organization that provides new school outfits for underprivileged students. When the adolescent found out it costs US$80 to dress one child, she said, “I want to dress 12 children.” In an interview with ABC15 Arizona television, Ms. Yanes later explained, “I feel like it’s important to have the uniforms and the socks and the clothing and the shoes, just to look presentable.” Heaven bless you, Jewelyssa Yanes, for your self-giving ways. May your donation generate ripples of kindness in the pond of our collective consciousness. Coming up, Hong Kong specialty shop features raw vegan cheese. We will pause for a moment and ask God to help us see a bigger picture and fulfill our life’s purpose. More pleasant news when we return! Please stay with us here on Supreme Master Television. Welcome back to Noteworthy News – Engaging News for a Lively World. Plant-based cheese outlet opens in Fragrant Harbor. Raw vegan chef Tina Barrat in Hong Kong says she is on a mission to pay homage to Mother Nature and the talented women from whom she is descended. The former jewelry designer redirected her inventiveness to plant-based food adventures and opened her own restaurant called MA... and The Seeds of Life. Now, the entrepreneur has founded Hong Kong’s first fully vegan cheese shop. Le Fromage features over 20 artisan varieties made from cashews and almonds. The nuts and seeds are soaked, blended and fermented with the same types of bacteria used to make dairy cheeses. Adhering to the principles of raw veganism, the temperature of the ingredients is kept below 45 degrees Celsius throughout the process. Bravo, Chef Tina Barrat! We pray that many people will be sharing your belief in the goodness of the Earth after tasting your culinary creations, in Celestial upliftment. Scientists study significance of a lion’s yawn. Ethologists from the University of Pisa in Italy were visiting South Africa and noticed how often the big cats open their mouths wide and inhale deeply. So they monitored a pride for four months, recording videos to analyze the animals’ behavior. The team calculated that a lion who sees another member of the group yawn is 139 times as likely to copy that action within the next three minutes. Additionally, if the original yawner proceeds to get up and walk around, the second feline is 11 times as likely to imitate those movements than lions who did not catch a yawn. This research is the first known attempt to link infectious yawning with social cohesion. We are impressed by your findings, Italian ethologists, and offer our appreciation. In Divine compassion, may humans rediscover their own unity and forsake all killing before it is too late. This joke is guaranteed to be funny. But if you won’t laugh, well, then you won’t! It’s called, “True Confession.” On a Friday night, Daisy cooked a fancy dinner for her husband and herself. While they were enjoying their meal, Daisy commented: "Honey, when we were first married, you used to take the smaller piece of vegan steak and give me the larger one. But now you do the opposite. It makes me wonder if you feel less love for me." "Oh darling, that’s not the case at all. It’s simply that you cook so much better now!" And now we have a heartline from Devansh in India: WE WANT NEITHER RICHES NOR FAME BUT ONLY YOUR KIND BLESSINGS FOR US TO BE FREE FROM THIS ETERNAL CYCLE OF LIFE AND DEATH. LONG LIVE OUR BELOVED MASTER. Devansh from India Caring Devansh, Thank you for your profound lines. The following note is from Master to you: “Blessed Devansh, your simple message is loving fuel for my tender heart.

On today’s program, Brigitte begins by sharing the future plans of the Association. “We will continue to show what happens to animals, in a very concrete way, so people truly realize the misery we cause to animals by consuming animal products.” In July 2020, L214, along with several other organizations and business leaders, jointly launched a “Referendum for Animals,” the first such initiat

ఎందుకంటే ప్రభువు ఇలా అన్నాడు, “నేను ప్రపంచానికి వెలుగును నేను ప్రపంచంలో ఉన్నంత కాలం. ” అయితే, ప్రభువు ఇప్పటికీ మనలను ఆశీర్వదిస్తాడు ఏ విధంగానైనా అతను చేయగలడు. మాస్టర్ ద్వారా, లేదా ఏదైనా పవిత్ర వ్యక్తి ద్వారా, ఏదైనా స్వచ్ఛమైన వ్యక్తి, అతను అలా చేయగలడు. కానీ దీని అర్థం కాదు మేము ముందుకు వెళ్ళవచ్చు మరియు మనల్ని మనం పాపం చేస్తూ ఉండండి ప్రభువు మరణం అని ఆశిస్తారు మన పాపాలను కడిగివేస్తుంది. అవకాశమే లేదు.

In today’s news, our Beloved Supreme Master Ching Hai presents Shining World Caring Award to Sleepy Burrows Wombat Sanctuary in New South Wales, Australia, many coronavirus patients report long-term symptoms from the illness as health care providers look for treatments, American physicist proposes method to travel faster than light, Saudi Arabia launches ambitious green initiative, coast guards team up with rescue lifeboats to save Labrador from freezing North Sea near a United Kingdom beach, grocery store chain in Hong Kong stops selling fish thanks to new documentary, and bison are reintroduced to native lands in United States. In Shining World Caring Award News from Australia … Created in 2004, Sleepy Burrows is a sanctuary home for a number of wombats and other animals who are sick, injured, orphaned and undergoing rehabilitation. The Founder of Sleepy Burrows, Donna Stepan, and a small team of volunteers work tirelessly to ensure that the wombats are properly cared for at all times of the day and night. The team supports them in developing the necessary skills to be released into the wild. Public education campaigns are also carried out, and the sanctuary also hosts visits where people learn about the needs and challenges of these lovable creatures. “People don’t know a lot about wombats in terms of their size and where they’re at mentally and where they should be. They’ll see what is in fact a juvenile, teenage wombat, and think, ‘Oh, it’s a big wombat, it’s an adult.’ No! So, when I do teach people or if people come here, we have crèche, we have Wombat Primary School Number One, and Two which is for toddlers, badly behaving toddlers. And then once they start to thrive in that area, they move up into Wombat High School. And they graduate into Wombat University and I would imagine Honors. Your Honors Degree would be the soft release area where that’s their final stage before they get released.” For being a haven to these iconic animals, our Beneficent Supreme Master Ching Hai “thankfully present Sleepy Burrows Wombat Sanctuary the Shining World Caring Award plus US$15,000, with heartfelt love, praises and gratitude. Our Association members in Marulan, Australia delightedly presented the Award letter, crystalline plaque, Master’s financial gift, and Her uplifting publications and DVDs to Sleepy Burrows Wombat Sanctuary. “Australia’s largest bare-nosed wombat sanctuary, Sleepy Burrows, is ‘a place where wombats dominate and humans accommodate,’ highlighting the selfless dedication underpinning your calling. Your 18 to 20-hour days, caring for up to 75 distressed furry friends, reflect the love and commitment that saw you recognized with the Medal of the Order of Australia in 2017, for services to animal welfare.” In gratitude for such kind support of her work, Ms. Stepan conveyed the following words to Supreme Master Ching Hai. “Thank You for seeing how precious this work is and how incredible these animals are, that they’re worth the work, they’re worth preserving, and that they all form part of something incredible that a lot more people need to see.” Ms. Stepan was also overjoyed to receive the financial gift from Supreme Master Ching Hai. “Thank You so much. It’s allowed us to be able to finish the Wombat Hospital studio which we’ve been raising funds for, for close to two years, and that has been the finishing touch. We’ve now been able to order it, and just doing final council plans. So, that is huge. That’s massive. To be able to have a place where we can actually bring them in to be treated, be kept secure, whether it’s burn victims, whether it’s pneumonia, whether it’s mange, it’s going to be incredible. So... that is invaluable to the sanctuary! And after 15 years, it’s now a reality. So, thank You so much.” We congratulate you, Donna Stepan and all of the remarkable people involved in helping to run Sleepy Burrows Wombat Sanctuary. May you all be forever blessed, in God’s grace. For the full presentation of the Shining World Caring Award to Sleepy Burrows Wombat Sanctuary, please tune in to our Shining World Awards program at a later date. COVID patients often suffer long-term effects. A study that looked at over 1,700 hospitalized coronavirus patients in Wuhan, China, revealed that 76% continued to be affected by at least one symptom half a year after the onset of the illness. The long-term impacts include fatigue, loss of taste and smell, chest pain, shortness of breath and depression, among others. In New York City, United States, a Center for Post-COVID Care was established. It has already seen and cared for more than 1,600 patients, while the waiting list for an appointment is months long. Its medical director, Dr. Zijian Chen, noted that the Post-COVID Syndrome can affect men, women, young and old alike and even those with mild initial symptoms. Scientists and health care providers continue research to find remedies for the condition. Our gratitude, all researchers and medical professionals involved. In Heaven’s mercy, we pray for the afflicted. May we all adopt the vegan lifestyle to safeguard our health. Up next, American physicist proposes method to travel faster than light. We’ll just take a little time to thank the payroll and timekeeping clerks, who maintain employees’ work data to ensure that the paychecks are given on time. We’ll return with more assuring news after these messages here on Supreme Master Television. Hallo, cheerful friends, how are you today? I’m Heather the vegan Harp Seal! I turn heads since I turned vegan. You should too, then we’ll be a good pair! Here is a crafty tip for you. Rather than throwing away small crayon pieces, you can recycle them and make new multi-colored crayons. You will need several clean tin cans and empty prescription bottles or small plastic containers that film comes in. First, place the crayon pieces, one color at a time, in each tin can. In a small pot with a low level of boiling water, heat up one tin can. As soon as this batch has melted, carefully and quickly pour the substance evenly into the bottles and allow them to set. They’ll harden after a few minutes. Then, you can melt and pour in the next color. Use as many colors as you’d like for this rainbow creation that young kids will enjoy! Thank you for your attention. And love you for Being Veg and Going Green 2 Save the Planet thus save the world! Now, the global weather. Faster-than-light travel found to be possible. Dr. Erik Lentz, a physicist from the United States, has published his proposal on how spaceships could travel faster than the speed of light. His method suggests a kind of engine called a warp drive, using a wave known as a soliton that can move at a higher speed than light. However, his current calculations show that his proposal would require as much energy as is contained in the mass of hundreds of Jupiters, so more research is needed to minimize this amount. Dr. Lentz believes a prototype will be available within a decade. Thus, a round-trip interstellar journey could be made within a human’s lifetime, whereas at sub-light speed, it would take multiple lifetimes to reach some distant destinations. Thank you, Dr. Erik Lentz, for your remarkable paper. May we soon become benevolent enough to wisely handle such awesome technology, in Divine wisdom. Saudi Arabia to reduce carbon emissions and safeguard the environment. Saudi Arabia recently revealed the Saudi Green Initiative, which will help the nation to protect the planet and move towards an Earth-friendly economy. As part of the project, the Kingdom will plant 10 billion trees in a largely desert landscape with extremely limited water resources in the decades ahead, as well as use renewable sources to produce half of their energy by 2030. They have also started the Middle East Green Initiative, which has the goal of planting 40 billion trees across the region in neighboring countries, in what would be the world’s largest reforestation program ever enacted. Saudi Arabia is a laureate of two Shining World Leadership Awards for Compassion, a Shining World Leadership Award for Peace and a Shining World Leadership for Loving Care Award. Such a grand vision, Saudi Arabia, to re-green your nation and the neighboring Arab states while switching to renewable energy. In Allah’s benediction, may the trees you plant grow with vigor and soon create vibrant landscapes of life. Black Labrador swept out to sea gets rescued. A black Labrador named Shaddah was playing with his ball on the Northumberland Beach in the United Kingdom and chased after it into the frigid North Sea. The rough current carried the canine about 180 meters from the shore, making it hard for him to swim back. Luckily, the local Blyth coast guard notified the Royal National Lifeboat Institution’s (RNLI’s) crew, a non-profit specialized in saving people and animals at sea, of Shaddah’s location. The team rushed to the site and brought the Labrador to safety, where he was soon reunited with his grateful caregiver and was expected to fully recover. Our smiling praises, to the Blyth coast guard and RNLI crew. We are so gladdened to learn about your safe rescue, Shaddah, and wish you many happy years with your human companion, in Heaven’s joy. Coming up, grocery stores in Hong Kong stop selling fish thanks to new documentary. We’ll pause to be thankful for the convenient spell checkers that are integrated into our computer programs and mobile phone apps. Supreme Master Television will return in just a moment with more noble news. Welcome back to Noteworthy News – Distinguished News for a Kinder World. Grocery stores in Hong Kong stops selling fish after watching “Seaspiracy.” A zero-waste grocery chain called Slowood in Hong Kong has decided to discontinue stocking fish after being prompted by the new documentary “Seaspiracy” produced by vegan filmmaker Kip Andersen. “We are at war with the oceans, and if we win this war, we’re going to lose it all because mankind is not able to live on this planet with a dead sea.” “If you want to address climate change, the first thing you do is protect the ocean. And the solution to that is very simple: Leave it alone.” The film, which was recently released on Netflix, outlines the enormous detrimental impact of the global fishing industry on the oceans and planet, while also exposing the underlying corruption. Slowood stated, “We believe every tiny step counts and hope to join our community to make the world a better place.” A big applause, Slowood, for ceasing the sale of fish to help save lives. In Celestial love, may all stores follow your noble example and remove all animal products from their stock, so that our vital seas and land may once again thrive. Bison returned to historic habitats. The Denver Colorado Parks and Recreation department in the United States has relocated 13 bison to the Cheyenne and Arapaho Nations in Oklahoma and one of these magnificent animals to the Tall Bull Memorial Council in Colorado. They will continue to reintroduce more of them to the region in a program that will last until 2030. It is envisioned that the Native Nations will develop bison herds on their lands. North America used to be the home of 30 million bison at one time, but their numbers sadly declined to 1,000 by the start of the 20th century. Currently, there are approximately 31,000 of them living in the wild in North America. Such heartwarming news, Denver Parks and Recreation and all caring Indigenous Nations involved. May the populations of these majestic animals continue to increase as they bless the land with their peace-filled presence, in Divine protection. Take a walk on the funny side of life with the joke of the day called, “Chess Champion.” “I was thinking to invite my best friend Johnny soon again for dinner. You know, the chess champion.”“Oh, that would be challenging...”“Why? What do you mean?”“If you want to invite him, you must change that checkered-top dining table. Didn’t you see that last time he came for dinner, it took him 20 minutes to pass me the salt and pepper?”“?!”And now we have a heartline from Hua-Erh in Taiwan, also known as Formosa: Beloved Master, You call me “Hua-Erh” inside, and You say Hua-Erh is glorious and radiant.

This is the mushroom in Heaven, colorful, and each of them radiates light. They dance with the wind. When they are ripe, they will fly to the sky. They look so beautiful and happy. I wish Most Beloved Master to be beautiful, happy and flying high every day. Master also gave my mom a name, “Yu-Ai,” meaning giving love to Heaven and Earth.

Dr. Peter Carter (vegan): “I want to thank you all for coming out here from the bottom of my heart, and the reason is this: We hear increasingly that global climate change is the greatest threat to the survival of civilization and indeed humanity, but that’s not quite right. The greatest threat is the denial. The denial is huge. There are powerful forces behind it, still confusing and misleading p
