Bangkok, Thailand holds videoconference with Supreme Master Ching Hai.

 Despite her busy schedule, Supreme Master Ching Hai has continued to make time to address our Association members’ concerns related to protecting our planet. Our Thai Association members consulted with Supreme Master Ching Hai on matters ranging from their current activities to the impact of global warming in their nation. Following is an excerpt from the videoconference that took place on July 24, 2008 with the Bangkok Center.

Our Association member (F): I heard someone predict that there will be disasters happening in regions of Thailand.  I would like to know if these predictions are really going to happen.

Supreme Master Ching Hai: Well, if Thai people are doing good deeds and minimize the effect of killing, then you can avoid it. If not, I don’t know. Right now, there are many disasters happening around the world, and more frequently than ever before, and even more deadly. It is because the force of the negative retribution of the killing karmic consequences is more ripe than before.  So we are suffering a lot around the world.

That’s why I am working very hard and also asking you to join me in the effort of informing people that the cause of all our suffering is from killing, from eating meat. Because if we don’t eat meat, nobody will kill for us or to offer us meat. So the vegetarian diet will minimize all the disaster, and even clear it all out, if people just turn their heart around, be compassionate, be loving like a real human being. Because the humans are inherently very compassionate and loving. The way we should live our life is with love, compassion and peace, with all beings, including animals.

VOICE: We thank Supreme Master Ching Hai for alleviating our concerns by showing us how to best protect ourselves in this time of planetary upheaval. May we all choose the way to harmony with all fellow beings in this world, thus leading to a more stable future for the entire Earth.

Please tune in to Between Master and Disciples on Supreme Master Television at a later date for the broadcast of this videoconference with Supreme Master Ching Hai, with multi-language subtitles.

Australian state forecasts climate change impact on public health.

Tasmania’s Public Health Director Roscoe Taylor stated that treating people for global warming-related disorders could cost more in medical resources than treating the state’s entire aging population. Referring to climate change impacts, Mr. Taylor said, “They can range from effects in our water systems through to the food supply. Also mosquito-borne diseases [and] food-borne illnesses could all be aggravated by climate change.”

Many thanks, Mr. Taylor and Tasmania, for addressing the urgent need to further reduce greenhouse gas emissions for the health and survival of all citizens.

Geological Survey of India (GSI) says land changes are due to global warming.

 After recent land splits suddenly appeared in Balasore, India, causing the evacuation of people from their homes, GSI experts inspected and now say that the large cracks in the land are the result of climate change. Senior geologist Purna Chandra Das said that ocean changes have affected a nearby river’s course, with a resulting undercurrent likely causing the land to shift.

We are grateful, scientists, for your dedicated research in helping to find out more about the causes of natural disasters. May our society be awakened to the need to act quickly in restoring the balance of our Earth.
