Everywhere in the world, we can observe and be touched by acts of kindness. People from all walks of life, faiths, and cultures extend themselves beyond the call of duty to help others unconditionally.
Through their noble deeds, humanity as a whole is elevated. To commend virtuous actions and encourage more people to be inspired by their examples, Supreme Master Ching Hai has lovingly created a series of awards, including the Shining World Leadership Award, Shining World Compassion Award, Shining World Hero and Heroine Awards, Shining World Honesty Award, Shining World Protection Award, Shining World Intelligence Award, and Shining World Inventor Award, to recognize some of the most exemplary, generous, caring, and courageous people who walk amongst us.
Halo, gentle viewers. Sunday, May 3１ is World No Tobacco Day, a day created by the World Health Organization to raise global awareness about the detrimental health effects of tobacco and the many benefits of creating a smokefree world. In honor of this day, our program introduces Mr. Patrick Reynolds, who established the Foundation for a Smokefree America, and is also the grandson of the founder of the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco company. Moved by loss of loved ones, illness, and hardship caused by smoking, Mr. Reynolds has devoted his life to informing the public about the dangers of smoking.
