On Sunday, June 21, the world’s first
Vegan
Earth Day was observed at Los Angeles Pierce College in California,
USA, celebrating the worldwide trend toward the Earth and
life-preserving animal-free diet.
The historic event, initiated by the pioneering US talk show host Bob Linden of Go
Vegan Radio, was also recognized by US Congressman and
vegan Dennis J. Kucinich.
The
event was also graced by a full-day exhibition of “Celestial Art,” the
book presenting Supreme Master Ching Hai’s uplifting works of art in
diverse genres, described by Bob Linden as a vision of what our world
could be upon going
vegan.
Although
unable to attend via live videoconference, Supreme Master Ching Hai
conveyed her best wishes along with an important video message that was
broadcast live both on www.
VeganEarthDay.org, as well as on Supreme Master Television.
It was a powerful speech titled “The Top Killers” and stating the undeniable case that
meat, alcohol, drugs, and tobacco are in fact crimes of killing that we must stop. The following is an excerpt:
Supreme Master Ching Hai:One
day, we will also protest against the murder of our animal
co-inhabitants. And by extension, we will denounce anything in the
future that kills.
Because killing is a crime that must be
stopped. These silent killers, they are unnoticed by most of us. They
are in our home every day. I will try to point them out.
It may
surprise you, it may not. To some of you, it is obvious,to some of you
it will be the first time that you realize who our enemy truly is.
VOICE:
Despite her busy schedule, Supreme Master Ching Hai graciously provided
responses to all the distinguished guests’ questions, which were read
on her behalf by representatives.
Supreme Master Ching Hai’s
vision as hinted in her video message was fully elaborated in her
response to Mr. Linden’s question asking for a picture of an all-
vegan world.
Supreme Master Ching Hai:
There would be no more violence among humans. The word “war” will soon
be erased from memory, and perhaps dictionary! Even the animal kingdom
will change to reflect
the new peace humankind has established in and around them.
If everyone becomes vegan today, what I just said would come true within a matter of a few months only, it’s not a distant dream. I guarantee it.
VOICE:
What an inspiring historic event! Our accolades and sincere
appreciation Mr. Bob Linden and organizers of this laudable occasion.
May we all unite to truly honor the Heaven that can exist on our shared
planet through worldwide adoption of the organic
vegan diet!
