The common cause of global warming and swine flu.
A recent conference in Bangkok, Thailand featured the premiere of the Aulacese (Vietnamese) editions of “The Dogs in My Life” and “The Noble Wilds,” two #1 international bestselling books written by Supreme Master Ching Hai.
In a question and answer session, honored guest Supreme Master Ching Hai shared via videoconference her deep insight in connecting seemingly such modern issues as climate change disasters and the swine flu pandemic.
Supreme Master Ching Hai: We have produced a lot, a lot, and a lot of negative energy by killing billions and billions of innocent sentient lives, and killing millions of our fellow humans even, over millennia, directly or indirectly. Directly is through war.
Indirectly is through disease that we made ourselves, like with the bubonic plague, pneumonic plague, and now swine flu, bird flu, etc.
It is not a coincidence that the main cause of global warming is meat eating. And many of the leading health problems in our world are also derived from meat eating.
Herwin Walravens – Publisher of Vegan Restaurant Pocketguide International (M): It comes from how we treat the animals. That’s something that has to change sooner or later.
VOICE: Dignitaries and other members of the public attending shared their responses to the book premiere and climate change videoconference preceding it, which was also graced by Supreme Master Ching Hai’s presence and wisdom.
Howell Howard –Environment, Science, Technology and Health Officer for South East Asia, US Embassy (M): Very definitely got some good information presented on methane emissions from animal industry. It’s something I will definitely take back with me.
Participant (F):The simple way that we can help I think is we should not eat meat anymore.
Dr. Nguyễn Thọ Nhân – Energy specialist (M): I wish the Master continues to promote vegetarianism to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to save the Earth.
Supreme Master Ching Hai: So meat eating is cruelty to animals. Meat eating is cruelty to our well-being. Meat eating is cruelty to our children’s wellbeing. Meat eating is cruelty to the planet. Be vegan. And we will never have to suffer many of these kinds of consequences, ever, ever again.
VOICE: Our appreciation all conference participants, for your caring presence. We are most grateful to Supreme Master Ching Hai whose deep compassion, as expressed through her heartfelt books and speech, resonates in many people. May we renew our spirit of compassion, to protect the precious lives of all beings on Earth.
Pesticides causing frog population declines. Research conducted at Southern Illinois University Carbondale in the USA has found that atmospheric contamination from chemicals used in California’s Central Valley’s farms is fatal to frogs in the nearby Sierra Mountains.
Of the hundreds of thousands of pounds of pesticides that are distributed to the farmlands by planes each year, some percentage is carried by the wind to the mountains.
There, it can go directly to streams as well as land on snow pack, which then melts and travels to the streams just as the frogs are hatching.
The implications are dire for amphibians worldwide, wherever this method of insecticide distribution is used.
We are saddened to know of the lethal impact of pesticides on our amphibian co-inhabitants.
May more and more farmers choose organic vegan growing methods, bringing a world that is safe for all beings.
During the July 2008 Heart-Touch Tour videoconference in Formosa (Taiwan), Supreme Master Ching Hai
emphasized the need to preserve our ecosystem by halting halt the use of such chemicals.
Supreme Master Ching Hai:Farm animals get sick due to pesticides. Fish die because of farming insecticides, pesticides, etc.
Wild species suffer similar fates because we also drain our chemical substances, insecticides, pesticides into the rivers, into the lakes, into the oceans.
So we lost many of these precious species, we lost many, many of us, because they are us.
So we must protect the environment.
If the environments are friendly and conducive to a healthy lifestyle, then the wild will have no problem.
