An uplifted world calls for elevated human standards.
Premiering at the 61st Frankfurt Book Fair in Germany on Sunday,
October 18 was “The Noble Wilds” German and other language editions.
The event, entitled “Be Vegan, Go Green, Protect God’s Creations in
Nature,” was attended by experts from across Europe who addressed such
issues as animal protection, psychology, and the plant-based diet.
Kindly making time in her busy schedule, Supreme Master Ching Hai
accepted an invitation via videoconference to discuss the book and
convey some of her understanding about our animal co-inhabitants. She
reminded that humanity’s treatment of other beings is a direct
reflection of the state of our world.
Supreme Master Ching Hai:
We have to stop the cruelty, the inhumane and below-human standard
treatment of all the animals that come here to bless our world with
their uniqueness and love.
I mentioned before that 55 billion
animals are murdered every year, legally for consumption. This is not
even counting the billions of fish! Can we imagine?
There is
no bigger moral crisis than the one that is created by the
mass-massacring of sweet innocent living beings for our pleasure, when
we have all the choices.
Such mass murder is a crime of global
proportions. And this killing energy in turn breeds and strengthens
other negative energy, which is degrading our society and destroying
our world. So, to return ourselves and our world to a purer state, one
where all beings can feel safe, protected and loved, and where all
human walk the dignified way of the children of God, we have to stop
the killing of innocent animals.
Stop it now. Stop it now and
turn to the merciful way of life. The natural way of life that God
intended us to live, which is the vegan diet.
VOICE: Our appreciation, all participants, for being part of this successful event.
We thank Supreme Master Ching Hai for so generously sharing the wonders
of the animal kingdom through her beautiful and peace-promoting books.
May readers everywhere discover in their native languages the love of
God’s creations through “The Noble Wilds.”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.
Climate change threatens the Arctic carbon sink. A new study published in Ecological Monographs by the US Geological Survey and the University of Alaska at Fairbanks shows that since the last Ice Age ended, the Arctic has served as a carbon sink, storing up to 800 million metric tons.
However, with temperatures currently rising at twice the rate of the rest of the world, the region’s permafrost is melting rapidly. Large increases of CO2 and the more potent greenhouse gas methane are resulting, with concerns being raised of even more accelerated global warming.
We appreciate your detailed observations of the Arctic, esteemed US Geological Survey and University of Alaska scientists.
May we all strive towards greener lifestyles that support our fragile biosphere. Supreme Master Ching Hai has often voiced her concern and advice regarding the threat of methane, as during a videoconference with our British Association members in June 2008.
Supreme Master Ching Hai: The permafrost layer is melting each day. And the methane gas, or other gases even, are releasing into the atmosphere.
Supreme Master Ching Hai: Methane and nitrous oxide is made by stock raising, stock keeping, animals keeping. They are far more poisonous, far more dangerous than CO2.
Supreme Master Ching Hai: So the effect is immense. Because the methane gas, it has been trapped all these centuries, because of stockbreeding, into the lakes, into the permafrost, into the ocean, and now if it’s melting then the gas will be released also. On top of that, if we have daily more animal breeding, more methane gas, then we will never stop.
So just stop killing animals, stop raising animals anymore. And we
don’t produce anymore methane gas, then it is a perfect picture.

Over 2,000 students and community members came together at the Hong Kong Wetland Park to create a 1 kilometer long painting in celebration of the start of World Wetlands Day 2010, “Bird Watching Festival.”
The fragile wetlands ecosystem plays a crucial role in the survival of many migratory birds and other wildlife. From now to February 2010, events are planned to raise awareness of wetlands conservation efforts and the negative impacts of climate change on biodiversity.
A green hats off, Hong Kong, for your Earth-saving endeavors. May the care of your many eco-minded citizens bring a flourishing future to the region.
