On Sunday, October 11, a videoconference entitled “Protect our Home with L.O.V.E.” was held in Taichung, Formosa (Taiwan). The letters L.O.V.E. signify “L” for Lohas, which stands for “lifestyles of health and sustainability”; “O” for Organic; “V” for Vegan; and “E” for Eco dimensions to Save the Planet.

Discussions on these themes were conducted by distinguished panelists, including environmental scientists Dr. Liu Shaw-Chena and Professor Liu Chung-Ming; famous Formosan (Taiwanese) film and television personality Ms. Tan Ai-Chen; president of the Formosa’s first veg-promoting website, Mr. Lin Hong-Jui;
chief editor of Persimmon Cultural Enterprise Co., Ltd., Mr. Linshu Wen-Er; and former pig farmer turned vegan, Mr. Luo Hon-Xian. Other dignitaries included guest speaker, the Honorable Mayor Amelita Navarro of Santiago, the Philippines and Mr. Chen Tien-Wen, Deputy Speaker of Taichung City Council.

Highlighting the event was a special question-and-answer session with honored guest Supreme Master Ching Hai, who had set aside a busy schedule to share her thoughts via videoconference.

VOICE: We thank all participants, government officials, other dignitaries and organizers for this fruitful conference. Our gratefulness to Supreme Master Ching Hai for her valued comments on this most urgent issue.

We pray that humanity’s collective efforts and switch to an organic vegan diet will seal the timely protection of our Earth and all her co-inhabitants.Please tune in to Supreme Master Television’s Words of Wisdom for the full rebroadcast of this live event at a later date, with multi-language subtitles.
