As
an industry that is a major cause of global warming, the livestock
sector currently employs more than one billion people globally. Knowing
that a worldwide transition to the plant-based diet is necessary for the
planet, the question arose as to how this might adversely affect those
whose jobs are tied to
meat production.
Responding
to this concern during the climate change conference in Hong Kong on
Saturday, October 3, Supreme Master Ching Hai pointed out that
refraining from involvement with livestock raising really is the only
choice, offering a range of both life- and soul-saving reasons.
Supreme Master Ching Hai: It's high time we turn away from the harmful, unsustainable meat business and go toward a more civilized, more efficient, more sustainable, more humane means to earn a living.
Namely, organic vegan farming or vegan restaurants, vegan products, vegan
product selling, etc. Everything to do with compassionate living is
good for you and it’s pleasing to Heaven and it will save the planet.
It's
not just good business, it will save the planet. And it will save
countless lives now and in the future, including the ones involved in
the meat business.
If you believe in the life hereafter, if you believe in Heaven and hell, you should stop the meat
business immediately, like yesterday, because nothing good awaits you
in the life after if you cause suffering to others, be it human or
animals. You will have multiple suffering in return and for a long, long
time.
So instead, these people in meat industries should join in the trend which has already begun and expands hugely every day, I’m happy to say.
Be veg, go green,plant organic vegetables.
VOICE:
We are grateful to Supreme Master Ching Hai who as a true friend has
shown us the safest exit from the disastrous course we have been on. May
we as a global society invest in the organic
vegan choice and thus redeem for everyone a prosperous and elevated future.

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