Supreme Master Ching Hai on the Environment:
Save Our Planet: Eliminate the Production of Meat – P6/6
Compilation of Supreme Master Ching Hai's lectures
|
|
|
|
|
All you do is just exchange
that piece of meat
for everything else
that you treasure,
including your children,
your planet, your health,
the air that you breathe,
the water that you drink,
the car that you even
can continue
to drive for a while,
until we change it.
Because if we eliminate
animal livestock raising,
then all the methane –
the major cause
of global warming –
will be gone.
Please be quick!
Please be quick
before it's too late.
I mean,
the sooner the better.
Because even if
it doesn't affect you,
it affects millions
of other people,
every day.
Even, for example, Bangladesh,
every 6 minutes,
while I'm sitting here
laughing with you,
one house is gone
from their life –
the house that they treasure,
that they have memories
and the children and
grandchildren are going
to grow up in it.
It's not just
a “nobody house.”
It is something in there;
it's a history
of a human's lifetime
of work and emotion
and love and family ties.
It's not just a number,
like one house, and then
one hour, eleven houses,
and keeps counting
like that.
Even if it doesn't concern us,
how can we sit here
and eat meat and then
everybody else dies for
that little piece of meat
that we eat?
And then… we don't even
need to eat it!
You won't die.
You will only be
more healthy.
Healthier, happier,
and you can save
the whole human race
and animals as well.
Every day up to 270 species
are erased. Every day.
And nobody cares, or what?
I mean, wait until
it becomes our turn,
then we say,
“It's really urgent!” or what?
No, we should not wait!
Everybody else’s disaster
should be our disaster,
everybody else's house
should be like our house,
and when it's damaged,
it should pain us just
the same, like if we lose it.
And their life’s lost also,
their life’s saving is lost,
and then they come out
and they become homeless,
and become like a beggar,
have to rely on handouts
to live.
Then, no more dignity
for them.
They are
hardworking people;
they had a home before.
And because of
the meat diet, everybody
is losing their home in
many different countries.
Forty nations sinking
or sunk already,
small nations.
Maybe small,
but it's a nation, no?
I mean, how small is small?
Monaco,
like 5 square kilometers.
How small is the Vatican?
One square mile. Right.
How small can an island be?
Many islands
bigger than that already
sunk beneath the sea.
Nobody cares,
because we don't live there.
We don't see anything,
or “They speak Chinese,
I don't understand,”
or “they speak Kiribati”
or whatever,
“we don't understand.”
Not possible.
If we are human,
we must have a heart.
Otherwise,
we are not human,
we are like stones.
Even stones have a heart,
if they can show it.
So, it's about time people
should live like humans.
If we call ourselves “human,”
we have to
live a humane life, no?
Even before
our house collapses,
we have to consider
other people's houses
and stop the cause of it.
We can do it,
not like we cannot.
We have the means to,
especially the people
who have houses
and live in the so-called
civilized society;
they have money.
Vegetables are even
cheaper than meat,
for God’s sake!
No, it’s not, sorry,
because of the subsidies
for meat.
Because if they don't
subsidize the meat industry,
the hamburger will cost
like $30, instead,
it costs only 99 cents.
So everybody eats
because it's cheap also.
You see what I mean?
Yes.
And everybody else
who eats meat,
or doesn’t eat meat,
has to subsidize
for that money,
and then they buy it,
they think it's cheap.
They're eating
their own money, too.
See what I mean?
It's all cheating.
It's all illusion.
It's nothing
as real as it looks.
So, instead of subsidizing
the meat industry, we must
subsidize organic vegan,
organic farming.
So it's all in the hands
of the lawmakers and us
who have to go out
and inform people
as much as we can.
But, you see,
how many people
can we inform with flyers
and all that, you know?
Even with
Supreme Master
Television,
some people don't have TV.
Some remote areas,
they don't have TV, or
they don't have the means
for computer.
Or if they have a computer,
it's too slow or something;
they can't get it.
All kinds of things,
I can never take care enough.
I'm telling you.
I did everything I can,
but still somewhere
it's lacking something
that they couldn't get it,
they couldn't get the TV,
the news.
You see what I mean?
Yes.
So, you cannot blame
the people.
They don't know.
Just one leads to another
and they've been
indoctrinated into
eating meat and
drinking milk, otherwise
they “don't have enough
muscle protein”
and all that.
People are poor people.
Nobody knows because
everybody believes
what the experts say, no?
And the experts,
they lobby
the government to say that.
And the government,
let's face it,
the government also
does not know.
I'm telling you the truth.
It's not like every person
who sits
in the government office
knows everything
about nutrition and milk;
they don't know also.
So, if the meat industry
lobbies some of the people
in the government
and those people say,
"Meat is good, good, good"
and everybody thinks,
"Okay, good, good, good."
Protein, you know?
Meat eating not only is
detrimental to our health,
it is the cause, for us, that
we cannot get in touch
with our true Self also.
You see?
That's why most people,
sometimes they're good,
sometimes they are bad;
they don't know why.
Sometimes when
their stomachs are empty,
and they're sincere
or they're in sorrow,
they’re more connected
with the inside.
And when their time
is smooth and they drink
and eat, they don't know
anything anymore,
so they’re disconnected
again, you see?
Even the people
who are not practicing
the Quan Yin Method,
they're connected now
and again with the Divine.
Therefore, now and again
they can sustain their life
on this planet and then
continue like that.
That's why
they don't live very well,
but they do live.
You see what I mean?
Like a person who is sick,
but not completely dead,
still can move around,
but not completely well.
That's like that. See?
So the person
who completely connects
with himself and
practices that connection
more and more every day,
then he has
more abundance,
more health, more clarity
in the head, more wisdom,
more compassion,
which is himself.
Compassion is not
from Heaven.
Compassion is not
from the vegetarian diet.
Compassion is inherent
within all of us.
The vegetarian diet is just
the proof of it:
that you have compassion,
that you don't want to
eat others.
How come they survived
and the other Venuses
didn’t? (Yes.)
How does their evolution
allow them
to continue?
Because they are
more virtuous.
The other two Venuses,
they were living
a vicious life.
They lived in vice.
They did not know God.
They did not
respect anything that
they didn’t see, and
they concentrated more
on developing
their material comfort.
Therefore, they had
too much comfort.
They had everything
they wanted.
Everything is almost
like heavenly life,
except devoid of spiritual,
moral, and divine quality.
And not only that,
they persecuted anyone
who dared to
oppose them or
mention anything about
the invisible quality
of Heaven or about God.
Anyone who was living
a virtuous life,
this was like “state enemy.”
They’d hunt them down.
They’d kill them
mercilessly.
It was a terrifying place
to live for anyone who
had a little conscience.
Their conscience was zero.
Their moral standard
was zero.
Their tolerance for God
and divinity was zero.
So, it was because of
this and the meat diet,
combined, that destroyed
the other two planets.
Whereas the two
surviving planets,
although they still have
some percentage
of meat eaters –
one-fourth, 25% of
people still have meat,
but very much less, lesser degree.
Not like they have it
every day
or three meals a day.
It’s not like that.
Even then they have
reverence in their heart,
and they are trying
to also go into a
more merciful lifestyle,
compassionate
vegan diet.
So the balance is
very, very well in check,
you see?
Three-fourths,
they’re vegetarian, vegan,
and the one-fourth
is meat eater, but
very much less in degree,
very much less in quantity .
Then they all worship God,
they revere
the spiritual persons or
beings or practitioners.
They encourage
moral behavior
within their society
and they teach
moral obligation,
compassionate lifestyle,
merciful attitude
in school,
from kindergarten already,
by example and by
positive encouragement.
In school, they teach,
already, children how
to be kind to each other,
how to be kind
to their planet,
how to be kind to
other co-inhabitants,
like animals, you see?
So, animals and men
live in harmony
with each other.
And children,
have been taught already
moral standards,
mercy behavior,
since childhood already,
so they grow upto become
wonderful citizens.
The meat eaters
and the meat providers,
they live in remote areas,
shamefully,
far away from the sight
of the people.
And they don’t encourage
that in public.
Just like right now
we forbid smoking
in public,
over there, forbid
meat eating in public.
Therefore,
even the meat eaters,
they feel ashamed and
they know it’s wrong,
and even if they still
have some, they
always try to minimize it.
You understand me?
Yes, Master.
A meat eater over there
is allowed
but is like an outcast,
and they feel it;
but some people are not
as developed as others,
so they just tolerate it.
But because the numbers
do not outweigh
the vegetarian, therefore
their planet’s merit
and peaceful atmosphere
is prevalent.
Their planetary merit
is in balance …
overweighs balance, yes.
So, even though one-fourth of
the people are meat eaters,
very little or less,
still they are covered
by the three-fourths of the
other benevolent energy.
You see what I mean?
Yes, Master.
And because the society
as a whole already
supports a compassionate
vegan diet,
and other meat eaters,
even though they do it,
they know it’s wrong.
And so
they have repentance
in their heart also.
So that’s the way
they preserve their planet.
Not because
they wanted to maybe,
but because they know
it as a way of life and
they have been
brought up like that
since they were children.
So, they become very
powerful in spiritual merit
and thus they can
protect their planet.
If all these Venus
populations, of course,
if 100% of them were
vegetarian or vegan –
then their planet would
even be better;
better than just survive
and prosper and progress,
and be technologically
superior like that.
But will be superior, will
be just like Heaven in
the physical dimension.
Right now it’s like,
of course,
like 80% Heaven,
or 70%,
but if they all become
vegan, then of course
their planet
will experience
much more upliftment in
the spiritual dimension.
And as the planet
lifts itself up,
as the population lifts
their consciousness,
again up, there will be
more and more miracles
happening.
There will be
more internet access
to all the corners of
the world that there
has not been before,
or there will be
more satellite services
in different countries
and different corners
of different countries.
Then more and more
people will be informed,
and more and more
will be uplifted.
But, nevertheless,
their soul listens because
we are interconnected.
And the frequencies
of radio or televisions
are also permeated
in the atmosphere.
This kind of
positive energy
and constructive news,
it will reach the recess
of their mind, and they
will somehow get it also,
without even watching
the Supreme Master
Television;
but in some way
more subtle.
Then they will also
awaken.
We just need to be
patient, and praying a lot,
praying a lot to all
the gods and goddesses,
all the divine beings,
all the angels, to help us
to manifest themselves
physically
onto this planet and help
each and every citizen
of the world to awaken to
a compassionate lifestyle
so that they can escape
from this dilemma that is
terrifying everybody
at the moment,
be it swine flu or
planetary climate change.
So be it.
Yes, Master.
We have all the gods
and goddesses to thank.
Thank you, Master.
You must have
really strong faith,
you must have the heart
to serve others,
you must have
compassion for animals,
you must have sincerity
and respect, then anyone
who comes in will also
feel that atmosphere.
