Q (m): We have been seeing dolphins and whales stranding themselves in many places throughout the world, more often in the past few years. Are these animals trying to tell humans something?

Supreme Master Ching Hai : Yes, yes. They have been telling humans long, long time ago, but very few listen. The humans cannot listen to the animals, most of the humans. And some humans can listen and nobody else will listen to that person anyway. Poor souls.

What suffering they must have endured, due to our carelessness and unkind habits. Let’s hope the humans will develop more spiritually and understand the needs of the animals, and give them love and respect as they deserve.

If people realize this is just a warning, and change to a better, nobler lifestyle  in love and peace, then all living on Earth will be in unity. And let’s pray that this happens very soon. We need it. We need a change in humans’ consciousness.

We have been living long enough in the shadow of wars, cruelty, troubles, famine and suppression of all kinds, due to the killing karma  (retribution).We really need a breath of fresh air. We need peace, comfort, safety, happiness and love among all beings on the planet.

A study conducted in Japan also found that if no action was taken to halt climate change, the financial cost will be US$176 billion per year by the end of the century. This is because of the effect on food supplies, the cost of dealing with increased natural disasters as well as other weather extremes, and medical issues such as
a rise in contagious diseases, etc., etc.

The vegan diet is by far the most affordable, with much lower costs than buying meat or fish for that reason.

“As you sow, so shall you reap.” Meaning, by turning to the virtuous, compassionate diet of vegan alone, they would generate such a positive, constructive energy. This new loving power could even stop the effects of climate change in their vulnerable lands and open up people’s innovative thought to solve all manner of
economical, social, and technological problems.

And every country, whether developed or developing, will flourish in ways beyond our imagination.
