Thailand hosts videoconferences with Supreme Master Ching Hai.
On Saturday, August 15, the international Climate Change Conference: “Solutions for a Beautiful Planet” was held in Bangkok, Thailand.

Opening the conference were introductory talks given by several distinguished scientist and physician guest speakers. As the highlight of the conference, special honored guest Supreme Master Ching Hai had set aside her precious time to speak via videoconference.

Sharing her insights in a question and answer session, she spoke of the key approach to a secure future for all beings.

Supreme Master Ching Hai: Killing is stealing life,the most precious gift to any physical being. Animals are killed for meat consumption in the cruelest ways imaginable.

The killing must stop and we replace it by virtuous ways of life that are also peaceful and kind. If all of humanity turns to such a standard, this world will be transformed indeed, heralding a true ‘Golden Age’ of harmony and happiness for all beings.

VOICE: Following this eye-opening event was a celebration of love for the planet and her co-inhabitants with the book premiere of Supreme Master Ching Hai’s “The Dogs in My Life” and “The Noble Wilds” new Aulacese (Vietnamese) editions. These two special books, bringing us ever closer to our animal friends, have been #1 international best-sellers along with Supreme Master Ching Hai’s third volume, “The Birds in My Life.” Congratulations all participants of both meaningful live events.

We are most grateful to Supreme Master Ching Hai for freely imparting both wisdom and hope at this fragile time for Earth’s inhabitants. May we all join hands and renew our faith in the power of loving actions to save our beautiful planet.

Please tune in to Supreme Master Television’s Words of Wisdom for the full rebroadcast of this live event at a later date, withmulti-language subtitles.


Himalayan diversity at risk.
The Eastern Himalayas, home to 10,000 types of plants, almost 1,000 bird and 300 mammal species, as well as over 350 species discovered in the past year, are all being threatened by the effects of global warming.

In the report, “The Eastern Himalayas – Where Worlds Collide,” the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) states that melting glaciers and flooding will worsen the impacts of deforestation and pollution already present.
WWF has called for measures to protect the environment of the Eastern Himalayas as well as asking for carbon reduction commitments from governments meeting in Copenhagen this December.

Our appreciation World Wildlife Fund for your diligent efforts to inform the public and save the wildlife of the imperiled Himalayas.

Let us act now with care to preserve these wondrous co-inhabitants of our ecosphere. Supreme Master Ching Hai frequently offers her caring wisdom about ways that humanity could help stabilize our fragile Earth, as she did during the July 2008 Heart-Touch Tour videoconference in Formosa (Taiwan).

Supreme Master Ching Hai: Up to now, we have lost so many, not just marine life, but land species. They disappear faster than we can imagine. They suffer a lot, they die,or they completely disappear because of our careless management of the world.

And we just feel like it doesn’t concern us or that we are not responsible for their plight,for the death and disappearance of our precious co-inhabitants. But the fact is that we are responsible.

Supreme Master Ching Hai: We have to stop the harmful effect of meat consumption, then we will see a happy, sufficient and satisfied world manifest in front of our eyes in a matter of weeks.

Humanitarian efforts help alleviate climate change effects in Haiti.
With planetary warming bringing more frequent and severe hurricanes to the island nation, the impact has been intensified by conditions of poverty, lack of infrastructure, and deforestation. The area is especially prone to overflowing rivers that increasingly flood roads and houses.

However, through the humanitarian contributions of the European Union and UK-based charity Oxfam, the first of several planned retaining walls have been constructed, which have already helped keep the small city of Anse-Ã-Veau from flooding this year.

Heaven bless European Union and Oxfam for your kind hearted assistance to the Haitian people. May such generosities and adoption of more sustainable lifestyles be the threads that mend our fragile Earth.
