The
Earth’s forests are protectors of the environment, helping to absorb
excess greenhouse gases and purifying rivers and streams. As conveyed
in Supreme Master Ching Hai’s #1 international best-selling book, “The
Noble Wilds,” they also provide a beautiful safe-haven for humans and
animals alike.
Following its recent launch, the German version
of “The Noble Wilds” topped the Young Readers’ category at the major
online bookstore Amazon.de.
This successful edition’s book
launch was celebrated in a videoconference held at the 61st Frankfurt
Book Fair on October 18, with invited guest of honor Supreme Master
Ching Hai.
During the event, Supreme Master Ching Hai
cautioned that the forests are disappearing due to encroachment by
livestock and that we must act quickly to protect them and the life
they support.
Supreme Master Ching Hai:
We have only 30% of land that covers the Earth. The rest is 70% is
water We have only 30% of land. And of that precious 30%, one-third of
is used, not for our true survival, but for livestock pasture or
growing tons of grains for animal feed.
All to produce a few
pieces of meat. And you swallow it in two seconds. And that few seconds
will bring you tons of sickness, disease and suffering sorrow.
If even if we don’t have compassion for the animals, please do have compassion for ourselves.
The meat industry is the one we have to focus on to stop, to abolish. To stop the climate change.
VOICE:
We are grateful to all caring participants, and thank Supreme Master
Ching Hai for opening our eyes to the splendid yet fragile marvels of
our environment. Let us all join the organic vegan circle so that we
may always enjoy our Earth as a wonderland of life.

rebroadcast of this live event at a later date, with multi-language
subtitles.
