A country that upholds the values of peace by abolishing its army…
A president who rescued thousands of refugees' lives…
A former US vice president who brings the world's attention to global warming…
A celebrity who advocates for human rights…
An animal lover who works tirelessly for the defenseless…
An international organization that provides humanitarian aid regardless of national boundaries…
A worldwide humanitarian agency that protects human life and alleviates suffering
These are among some of the distinguished people, countries and organizations in our present day society that have made a positive difference on our planet through their noble actions.

For the purpose of recognizing these caring actions, and in response to the reports about many positive developments in the world, Supreme Master Ching Hai founded the Shining World Leadership Award in March 2006.

The pure crystal award represents the shining noble ideals of the honored individuals, nations and organizations whose pioneering work and selfless dedication have significantly contributed to the harmony and beauty of our planet.

John Robbins (M): 『Thank you for this award and most significantly, thank you for the work you've done and are doing, and are encouraging others to do to awaken humanity to its responsibility - to live a compassionate life and to do so in honoring the spirit in all beings.』

HOST: The founder of the Shining World Leadership Award, Supreme Master Ching Hai, is a world- renowned spiritual leader, humanitarian and artist, who herself has brought immense benefits to the world through her inspiring words and shining example.

Supreme Master Ching Hai's own selfless service and devotion to all beings have been highly lauded by world leaders and governments.

Mayor Frank F. Fasi, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA:  She also brings love around the world where there is hate. She brings hope where there is despair, and she brings understanding where there is misunderstanding. We don't have enough people like the Supreme Master. If we had somebody like her in every country in the world, we will have eternal peace, eternal love.

HOST: For decades, Supreme Master Ching Hai has exemplified unconditional love through her worldwide humanitarian work.

Supreme Master Ching Hai:  Love your family members wholeheartedly; sacrifice for them whenever necessary. And to other members of mankind just show your love universally, and help whoever needs your help. That is the way of love.

HOST: Supreme Master Ching Hai's wisdom and compassion have been a source of inspiration for countless people worldwide. And she further encourages positive work through the Shining World Leadership Award. Thank you, Shining World Leaders!

HOST: 『A change of diet is our biggest chance to stop global warming - and save our health and money.』 These are the words of His Excellency Edward McMillan-Scott, Vice-President and senior Member of the European Parliament. The statement appeared in an article he wrote for the May 2010 『Green Week』 edition of 『Parliament Magazine,』 a widely read political magazine covering the efforts of the European Union.

The British statesman Mr. McMillan-Scott wrote that in the face of costly environmental degradation and biodiversity loss, a change of diet 『would also benefit millions of [food] producers in Europe's uplands and the world's most difficult terrains.』

He continued, 『Now I can add the economics and biodiversity arguments. It takes 16 times more energy and resources to produce animal protein than the vegetable equivalent; livestock grazing is a major cause of desertification and our oceans are suffering from over-fishing…』 Along with human rights and democracy, encouraging everyone in the world to adopt a more plant-based diet is one of Mr. McMillan-Scott's foremost ongoing campaigns.

Vice President McMillan-Scott (M): We have a problem with greenhouse gases. One of the most significant sources of greenhouse gases is animal production and meat production, and the dairy industry, and the fact that so much soy is now been grown as animal fodder.

HOST: On December 3, 2009, His Excellency organized a hearing before the European Parliament in Brussels, Belgium, on 『Global Warming and Food Policy: Less Meat = Less Heat』 to urge policy makers to focus on this vital action.
