道德是完美的保護
清海無上師與泰國曼谷小中心的視訊會議
2008.07.24（原文為英文）
如今世界各地有很多災難發生，頻率之高前所未有，而且殺傷力也更大，這是因為殺生業報所凝聚的否定力量比以前更強大了，所以世界各地的人才會受很多苦。
我們所有的痛苦都是源自於吃肉殺生。如果我們不吃肉，就沒有人會為我們殺生、提供肉給我們。所以素食會讓所有的災難減至最小，甚至可以免除全部的災難。只要人們回心轉意，他們就會像真正的人類一樣充滿慈悲愛心，因為人類與生具有慈悲愛心，只是他們被誤導了。長久以來沒有人告訴他們，而壞習慣或否定的訊息卻已在他們的生活中根深柢固，他們已被非常嚴重地誤導了。
所以現在我們必須告訴他們，再次提醒他們這不是我們應該過的生活；我們的生活應該是愛心、慈悲的生活，並與所有眾生和平相處，包括動物在內。所以我們必須繼續盡我們的職責告訴大家，告訴他們要吃素，才能將所有惡果減到最小。就算我坐在這裡告訴你們熱帶氣旋會不會來，那又有什麼用？如果我們不改變生活方式，即使這個氣旋不來，另一個氣旋也會來，或是其他的災難也會降臨。如果我們不做出改變，不依照宇宙和諧的體系生活，那麼我們就會失去和諧。而當我們脫離這個具有保護力的宇宙和諧圈時，我們就失去保護，所以不好的事才會發生。
如果我們在宇宙的和諧圈裡或遵守自然法律，就會百分之百受到保護。所以不用怕，如果你有道德，就會受到保護。 http://www.godsdirectcontact.org.tw/ch/news/201/ 師父的話 .........................................................................................................................................

2008.5.22緊急求救！全球暖化國際會議：愛護生命‧拯救地球 (續)
 | 編號：826（2片裝） |
字幕：阿拉伯、悠樂、保加利亞、中文正體、中文簡體、英、法、德、希伯來、印度、匈牙利、印尼、義大利、日、韓、波斯、波蘭、葡萄牙、旁遮普、羅馬尼亞、俄、西、泰、土耳其(24種) （續198期師父開示） 清海無上師以英文講於韓國首爾 「緊急求救！全球暖化國際視訊會議」 2008.05.22
兒童健康國民聯盟事務總長暨總統永續發展委員會前孩童健康政策研究組會長李庸仲先生（Lee Yong-Jung）︰我一直興致盎然地聆聽您的談話，我想可以把它歸納成三方面︰靈性、素食、和諧共存。我想提出幾項關於食物和永續社會的問題。目前周遭的食物都對我們身體有害，當我們攝取這類食物時，體內微生物的平衡會被破壞，然後我們可能必須與它們對抗（微生物佔了地球生物總質量的一半）。最後我們可能會染上異位性皮膚炎、脾炎、氣喘和過動症，目前這些疾病的罹患率是廿年前的三倍，而罹患高血壓、癌症和糖尿病的機率也增至三倍之多。韓國所爆發的禽流感、諾羅病毒、耐抗生素細菌，全都是因為有毒的食物所致。 我們必須檢驗這些有毒的食物，首先是加工食品和食品包裝中的化學添加劑，其次是工廠化養殖場過度餵食牲口的抗生素，第三是被濫用的殺蟲劑，第四是基因改造的食物和感染狂牛症的牛肉。這些問題非常嚴重，因為我們約有七成五的食物是仰賴進口，國內自行生產的僅佔二成五。經過調查研究，這些食物問題和全球暖化、甲烷及二氧化碳的排放都有關係，會引發孩童的健康問題，也攸關人類的存亡。您把這些複雜的問題全部簡單總結成一項，也就是素食，這我可以了解，但我在想，難道我們不需更全面地多管齊下嗎？比方說我們必須實施永續農業，也要改變我們的思考模式，改變我們的食物營養表；我們必須用更具體的教育方式讓民眾了解，經由選擇適當的食物，我們就能拯救自己和全體人類。這是我的看法。 清海無上師︰這些問題好像不簡單處理，但其實很簡單。如果你有小孩，而你知道什麼對他好，那你一定會想給他；如果你知道什麼東西對你的小孩不好或有毒，你一定會想盡辦法拿開。所以那只是人類的思考習慣，覺得做不到，其實可以，只要拿走那塊肉，用植物性蛋白取代就好了。現今到處都買得到素食，很簡單！即使買不到現成的食物，各種豆子、米、扁豆也都富含植物蛋白，這些食物會讓你的生活更加舒適、健康、明智，而且又能大大提昇靈性。我不明白為何政府、父母或任何負責這方面事務的人會覺得困難重重而不想改變習慣，提供健康的食物給孩童。大家都希望孩子健康，是嗎？而經過研究所得的最新資訊，我們知道什麼食物對孩童最好。不含牛奶和乳製品的素食，對所有年齡層的人而言都是最佳飲食，因此我們何不給他們最好的？ 對我而言，很簡單，只要給他們最好的食物，那麼其他各方面就會隨之迎刃而解，你會看到好處；要是沒有好處，你隨時可以讓他們還葷。不過我相信各位父母、教師等負責照顧孩童健康的人都會喜歡素食。你們會看到他們在生活各方面都有所改善，不只是身體更健康，智商、活力都會更好，性情也會很溫和，比較不用擔心孩子會有暴力行為。謝謝您關心孩童，他們是我們的未來。謝謝您，李庸仲先生！民眾必須去做，不論政府能不能做，這是父母可以選擇的。 社會的良知和憐憫心
韓國正確教育家長會祕書長李姬政女士（Lee Hui-Jung）︰目前在首爾的清溪川前方，有學生舉行燭光集會，以抗議進口疑似感染狂牛病的牛肉，因為學校的伙食可能會含有這種牛肉。學生抗議是因為學校的伙食統一，他們別無選擇，所以他們在清溪川舉行燭光示威，因為他們不想吃狂牛肉。學生的父母也抗議，因為他們不希望孩子在學校吃到這種牛肉。這場抗議顯示學生非常關心目前的教育環境和學校的伙食供應問題。我覺得孩童通常比大人更有同情心，所以他們才會走上街頭抗議。他們在網路上看到一些短片揭露動物受到不人道的對待，讓他們覺得動物就像他們一樣，因為他們的教育環境並不理想，競爭壓力很大，他們必須苦讀到深夜，或是一早就到教室，就像被關在小籠子裡，沒有太多選擇的餘地。所以我覺得我們的學生同情那些被關的動物。 雖然他們在這種教育環境下成長，同情心變得麻木，然而心地還是很純潔，對動物的痛苦感同身受，所以很同情那些動物。不幸的是，我們越是在這種環境下受教育，越會失去對動物的同情心。學校的環境應該要讓孩子有時間親近大自然，並接近動物，然而目前的教育體制卻限制了孩子的作息時間和活動空間，強迫他們要完成課業。 我們的教育環境應該培養孩童對貧困者與弱者的同情心，包括動物和被圈養的牲口所遭遇的痛苦。我們的教育體制應該好好設計規劃，鼓勵學生關懷我們的地球和動物芳鄰，並透過教育倡導一些可以解決目前地球問題的方法。然而，實際情況卻不是這樣。我想請問清海無上師，我們把孩子們放在這種充滿競爭的教育環境中，迫使他們變得對地球麻木不仁，這樣我們如何鼓勵孩子具有環保意識？我想請教您這方面。 清海無上師︰感謝您的關心，李女士！對於目前因為進口牛肉的問題而在首爾公開表達自己意見與關愛動物之情的學生，我也在此致上同情和感謝之意。他們的態度讓我深受感動，他們身為學生，課業十分繁忙，而學校的課程也沒有提到關於動物受虐的情況或教導他們如何善待動物，但他們仍然知道。他們自己去查資料，並實際採取行動，我對此十分欣慰。我衷心希望這種風氣會傳到其他學校，並遍及全國，讓民眾了解動物性產品的害處，以及我們人類對待可憐、無辜又無助的動物弟妹是多麼不仁慈。 所以我感謝您，也代表動物感謝他們！至於您問我如何正確地教養小孩，這個問題非常、非常重要，父母和老師應該共同來討論。帶領教師和家長參加這次運動的人，應該蒐集所有具體又有信服力的科學證據，證明孩童的飲食最好完全不含動物成分，即使蛋和牛奶也有害處，因為它們是取自動物。動物被餵食化學藥品，有各種荷爾蒙，會讓孩童的個性變得狂暴。因此如果小孩的行為不符合大人的期望，請不要一味地苛責他們。他們出生時乖巧、純真、可愛，我們撫養他們長大，沒有給他們應有的適當營養、適當照顧和最好的規範，因為我們身為父母的人，也沒有得到我們所需的適當照料。因此現在我們要改變歷史，我們要研究，要確實明白素食絕對有益健康，各方面都對孩子最好。要蒐集證據，蒐集所有相關研究、所有具有信服力的科學證據，大家同心協力把它傳播出去。 然後一起決定我們必須改變孩子的飲食；飲食改變之後，其他一切也會改變，孩子的行為會改變，智力會提高，孩子和家長都會開心。你們都想要給孩子最好的，素食對他們就是最好的。必須讓孩子吃素，然後其他一切會隨之而來。相信我，信任我，你們試試看就知道。這沒有害處，只會更節省食物開銷。直接走到蔬菜區，不用去其他地方。吃素、不喝酒、不抽菸，也不吸毒。 選用天然新鮮食材，以達到最佳的健康狀態 順便提醒一下生產素食品的朋友，即使是製造素食品也要小心，不要放添加物，不要加太多防腐劑。我們不要在素菜裡添加任何有害物質，也不要加太多味精或太多鹽，這些也對健康不好。所以吃素應該用當地市場的新鮮食材，這樣對你的孩子最好；從當地市場買，而且越新鮮越好。不只是要素的，也要講求新鮮，選用健康的素食產品。請所有生產素食的人留意這點。 謝謝您提出這個問題！您的問題非常重要，因為關係到孩童和社會大眾。謝謝您，女士！祝您萬事如意！希望您剛才提到的學生運動在貴國和全球傳揚開來，使所有學生都效法他們，也讓每個人都注意到他們想要過一個更美好生活的訴求；他們值得這樣的生活。非常感謝您！上天賜福給您並加持他們的活動！
清海無上師︰噢，哇！非常好的問題，朴女士，您很用心！非常謝謝您！你們看，這是一個很好的開端。首先，依我的淺見，您有心這樣做，將會得到加持，然後您會有堅毅的魄力去實現它。您必須將事實告訴家長會，並儘可能告訴所有家長。您可以發傳單讓每個學生帶回家；請求校委會的准許，然後發給孩子。蒐集所有關於素食的好處和肉食的壞處等資料，然後取得家長的支持。告知學生，告訴您在協會、教育界和學校所認識的每個人，然後提供他們相關資料，這樣他們才會了解您所說的，並支持您的理念。我們必須提供證據給他們，不能只是告訴人們：「要吃素，這樣對你有好處。」我們必須激發他們的智慧和好奇心，提供他們所有令人信服的詳實資料，然後他們才能一起決定：「好，我們選擇這種飲食。」大多數的人都會選擇素食。經過您努力不懈地提供種種關於素食益處的科學論證後，我希望他們會選擇素食，因為人們只相信科學。 再來是道德的問題，您可以給他們看一些動物受虐、被屠宰的照片和影片，然後問他們：「如果你是那些動物，你感覺如何？」當人們親眼看到動物受到殘忍虐待的真實情況，我相信他們一定會決定改採素食。現在大家都知道素食有益而肉食非常有害，這是全世界的潮流。因為肉品的危害，他們回收了數百萬公斤、數百萬份的肉，世界各地時有所聞，迄今已有許多國家這麼做，所以蒐集所有這些證據給他們看。你永遠不知道自己吃的是什麼，所以最好選擇健康的飲食。你永遠不知道進口肉品有沒有問題，政府事實上無法為你控管每塊牛肉，到處都有漏洞，還有政治說客，會讓大家失去判斷的能力，或認為肉品當然安全。我們現在只是從健康的觀點來談論，尚未談到我們對那些弱小、沒有防禦能力的動物所需負的道德責任。我們不能殘忍，我們必須仁慈、有愛心、慈悲，因為我們是人。每次我們看到有人善待別人或是做好事時，會說：「那很人道，那是人道的行為。」是嗎？因為我們是人，我們必須人道對待所有眾生，包括動物鄰居。好，因為我們是人，我們必須仁慈、慈悲，那是我們的本性，不要因為其他事而忘了。謝謝您提出這個問題！祝您萬事如意，並得到上天的加持！感謝您所做的事！謝謝！ 另外，「無上師電視台」的網站（SupremeMasterTV.com）可以免費下載各種國際素食料理食譜，如果您想下載使用，這完全免費。或是您可以聯絡我們韓國的小中心，索取免費的食譜。此外，「無上師電視台」的網站也針對這方面議題提供各種有力的科學資訊，您可以上網下載並傳播出去，讓人們了解改變學童飲食的必要性。 拯救地球的所有方法中，全素的生活方式最好 主持人︰因應全球暖化與氣候變遷的方法很多，清海無上師，您曾建議最快和最有效的方法，包括使用永續能源、多種樹、在日常生活中儘可能節約能源，而最重要的是，使用無動物成分的產品，其中包括採取素食或純素飲食。可否請您進一步為我們解說這些解決途徑？ 清海無上師︰我們已經討論過吃素在倫理、道德、科學與物質層面上的利益。不僅是因為倫理、道德或物質上的利益，也因為對我們每個人而言，這是拯救地球最簡單的方法。甚至在政府採取任何措施之前，在科技發展成功之前，我們已經可以遏止全球暖化，只要我們放下那塊肉，以素食蛋白質取代。它們看起來類似、吃起來類似，而且對我們的健康、靈性、智能，以及往後在天堂的生活等各方面都會更好，甚至現在就會獲得加持，不用談到往生以後。所以我認為每個人都應該加入茹素的行列，這是我所要講的。因為這是拯救地球最好又最快的方法，人人皆可做到，甚至無需科技，也無需新能源或政府，我們盡一己之力來做，這就是為什麼我強調素食。如果政府也一起做，幫助我們提倡素食，哇！那非常感謝政府。如果科學家發展出更好的科技，而且生產夠快供我們使用，那非常感謝他們。但茹素我們必須馬上開始，這是最好、最快、最安全的方法，對我們自己和子孫都好。如果你愛你的孩子，請開始茹素。謝謝你！ http://video.Godsdirectcontact.net/magazine/WOW624s.php Go Veg to Give Our Children and the Planet Our Best (Continuation of Master Says Column from News Magazine #198 ) Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, during the SOS! International Seminar on Global Warming videoconference, Seoul, Korea, May 22, 2008 (Originally in English)
There is a need to examine these poisonous foods. The first one is chemical additives in processed foods and food packaging. The second one is the overdose of antibiotics that are pumped into livestock in factory farming. The third is the overuse of pesticides. The fourth one is genetically modified foods and mad cow disease-affected beef. This problem is serious when we consider our dependency on foreign foods, which is about 75%, compared to 25% of our domestically grown foods. When investigating them, these food problems are interwoven with global warming, methane gas, and carbon dioxide issues, which lead to children’s health problems, as well as the survival of humanity. You have summed up these complex issues into one simple issue, which is vegetarianism. Although I understand, I wonder whether we do not need more comprehensive approaches. For example, we have to practice sustainable agricultural approaches and we have to change our patterns of thinking. We have to change our food paradigms. We need to educate people that through our food choices we can save ourselves and humanity as a whole in a more concrete educational system. That’s what I think. M: It seems not that easy to tackle, but it’s actually very easy. If you have a child and you know what is good for him, then you definitely want to give it to him. And if you know what is bad or poisonous for your child, you will take it away from him at all costs. So, it’s just the habit thinking of humankind, the feeling that this is not do-able, but it is. Just take away that piece of meat, and replace it with protein from the vegetable kingdom. Nowadays, we have vegetarian food available everywhere; it’s very simple. Even if we don’t have available food, all kinds of beans, rice, lentils are packed full of vegetarian protein, and they will make your life much, much more comfortable, healthy and wise and are very, very spiritually elevating. I don’t understand why it is so difficult for the government or for any parent, or anyone who is responsible in this matter, not to change the habit of giving the children what is healthy for them. You want your children to be healthy, yes? And so, we do the research, we know what is the up-to-date best for the children. Vegetarian diet, without milk or dairy products even, is the best diet thereof for everybody at all ages. So why don’t we give them the best? For me, it’s simple. Just give them the best food, and then everything else will come along. You will see the benefit. And if it doesn’t benefit, you can always change back to the meat diet. But I’m sure you - I mean the parents and the teachers, the ones who are responsible for children’s health - will like the vegetarian diet. You will see their improvements in all aspects of life, not just health but in intelligence, vitality and the peacefulness of their character. You’ll have less to worry about with your children’s violent behavior. Thank you for being concerned about the children. They are our future. Thank you, Mr. Lee Yong-Jung. The people have to do it. The government can do or not do it; this is up to the parents to choose. Conscience and Compassion in Society
Although their sympathy becomes dull as they grow in this kind of educational environment, they are still pure enough to feel this pain, so they have compassion towards these animals. Unfortunately, the more we are educated under these kinds of circumstances, the more we lose our sense of consideration for our co-inhabitants. Our school environments should be set up so that our children can spend time in nature, where they can be near animals. However, our children are confined in terms of space and time in the current educational system. They are forced to complete their curriculum. Our educational environment should cultivate children’s compassion for the needy and the weak, including animals and the suffering of confined livestock. Our educational system needs to be designed to encourage concern towards our planet and our co-inhabitants, and to promote solutions to our current planetary problems through education. But in reality, it is not designed that way. My question for Supreme Master Ching Hai is: We are forcing our children to become desensitized from their own empathy for our planet by putting them in this kind of educational environment in the name of competition. What can we do in order to encourage their ecological empathy? So, I would like to ask You about these matters. M:: Thank you for your concern, Mrs. Lee. And by the way, I would like to convey also my sympathy and my gratefulness to the students who are expressing their opinion right now in Seoul concerning the beef imports, and concerning their love and care for the animals. I am very impressed by their attitude, because as students they are quite busy and it’s not like the curriculum in the school would have informed them or taught them anything about animal cruelty or how to be kind to animals. But they do know about it; they do research about it, and they do take action about it, and I’m very glad. I do hope this will even spread further into other schools and whole nations and keep people aware of the harmful effects of animal products as well as the unkind treatment that we humans measure upon them, the poor innocent defenseless brothers and sisters. So, I thank you and I thank them on the animals’ behalf. Concerning your question about how to raise children rightly, this is a very, very important question and the parents and the teachers should get together to discuss this. And the leader of this movement for the teachers and the parents should be more equipped with all the concrete scientific and convincing evidence of the better diet for the children, meaning the animal-free diet, absolutely free from animal traces. Even eggs and milk are harmful because they’re derived from animals. The animals have been fed with chemical substances, all kinds of hormones, which drive the children crazy. So, if your children’s behaviors are not according to your liking, please do not blame them alone. They are born nice, innocent and sweet. They have been brought up by us and we have not given them the due goodness, due care or the due best standard that they so deserve, because we also, as parents, have not been fed this due attention that we also need. So, now we have to change the course of history. We have to research; we have to know for sure that the vegetarian diet is really absolutely healthy, the best in all aspects for our children. Get the evidence. Get all the studies necessary, all the scientific and convincing evidence, and get together to spread this information. And decide together that we have to change the diet of the children. When you change the diet everything else will change. Their behavior will change, their intelligence will improve, and you will be a happy parent and they will be happy children. You want the best for your children, and that is the best for them. The vegetarian diet, you must give them that, and then everything else will come along. Believe me; trust me; you try and you tell me. It will do no harm. It just helps you to save more money on groceries. You go straight to the vegetarian section; you don’t need to go anywhere else. Vegetarian diet and no alcohol, no cigarettes, no drugs also. For Optimal Health, Choose Natural and Fresh And by the way, a message to the vegetarian-producing people. Even with vegetarian food, we have to also be careful we don’t put additives, too many preservatives into it; we don’t put any harmful substance into vegetarian food. And we don’t put too much glutamate or too much salt. Those things are also not very good for health. So, the vegetarian diet should be fresh from the local market. That would be the best for your children - local market, and the fresher the better. Not just vegetarian but the fresher the better, and the healthy vegetarian products. To all the producers of vegetarian food, please be aware of this. Thank you for your question. Your question is of paramount importance because it’s concerning the children and the society at large. Thank you, Madam. I wish you all the success. I wish the children’s movement that you mentioned just now, the students’ movement, will spread all over your country and into the world, and that all the students will follow suit. Everyone will heed their cry for help for a better life that they deserve. Thank you so much. Heaven bless you and bless their movement.
M: Oh, wow! Very good question, Mrs. Park. Very good endeavor. Thank you so much. You see, this is a very good start. First of all, in my humble opinion, you will be blessed by wanting to do this, and then you will continue to have strength to do it. You have to inform the facts to the parents’ association, and to all the parents that you can. You can give leaflets to each of the students to bring home or to the school board and ask permission to distribute it to the children. Get all the facts about how good the vegetarian diet is and all the facts about how bad the meat diet is. And then get their support. Inform your students. Inform everyone that you know in your society, in your world, in your school. And then, get them all the materials necessary so that they understand what you are talking about and support your ideas. We have to give them the facts, we cannot just tell people, “Okay, be vegetarian. It’s good for you.” We have to evoke their intelligence and curiosity; we have to provide them with all the materials that are convincing and truthful, and then they can decide together, “Okay, we choose this diet.” The majority of them will choose it. I do hope they do, after you diligently inform them of all the facts about how good the vegetarian diet is from the scientific point of view, because people only believe in science. And then comes the moral issue. You can show them some of the cruel pictures, cruel videos about how the animals are being treated, being slaughtered, and ask them a question, “How would you feel if it were you?” If people see the evidence and are faced with the cruelty of how the animal has been treated, I’m sure that they will decide to get a vegetarian diet. Right now, it’s a worldwide trend that everyone knows the vegetarian diet is good and the meat diet is very harmful. They recalled millions of kilograms, millions of units of meat because of the harmful effect, everywhere in the world. Up to date, there are many countries in the world that do that. So, get all this evidence and show it to them. You never know what you’re eating. It’s better to choose the healthy diet. You see, importing meat and all that, you never know if they’re good. The government cannot control every piece of beef for you, actually. There are loopholes everywhere. There are also lobbies; people will turn a blind eye and all that or take it for granted that the meat is safe. We’re talking about health standpoint only, not to talk about the moral obligation to our weaker, smaller, defenseless brother and sister co-inhabitants. We cannot be cruel. We have to be kind. We have to be loving and compassionate because we are human. Every time you see someone treat someone nice or do something good, you say, “That’s very human, that is humane treatment.” You see? Because we are human, we have to give every other being human treatment, including our own neighbors. Okay, so, because we are human, we have to be kind, we have to be compassionate because that’s our nature. Don’t let anything else make us forget that. Thank you for your question and I wish you all the luck and blessing from Heaven. And I love you for doing this. Thank you. By the way, in SupremeMasterTV.com we have all kinds of free to download international cooking recipes for you. It costs you nothing if you want to download and use them. Or, you can contact our Centers in Korea to ask for free recipes. Also, SupremeMasterTV.com provides in this matter all scientific and convincing information and evidence for you to download if you need to use them to inform other people and to convince them about the idea of changing the diet for the children in school. Of All the Ways to Save the Planet, Host: There are many ways to cope with global warming and climate change. Supreme Master Ching Hai, You have suggested the most efficient and effective ways, including using sustainable energy, planting more trees, saving energy wherever we can in our daily lives, and perhaps most importantly, using products that are animal free. Using animal free products also includes adopting a vegetarian or vegan diet. Could You please share with us more details about these solutions? M: We have covered the moral, ethical, scientific and physical benefits of a vegetarian diet. Not only because of moral or ethical or physical benefit, but because this is the easiest way for every one of us to contribute to saving the planet. Before the governments even do anything, before the technical developments are being offered, we already stop global warming if we forsake that piece of meat and replace it with a piece of vegetarian protein, which looks similar, tastes similar, and is even better in every way -- for our health, for our spirit, for our intelligence and for our next life in Heaven. We will be blessed right now even, not to talk about the afterlife. So, I guess everyone should join in and be vegetarian; that’s all I am saying, because it’s the best and the fastest way to save the planet, and everyone can do it. There’s no need even for technique, new energy or for the governments yet. We do it; we do our part. That’s why I emphasize the vegetarian diet. And if the governments join in and help us to promote more, wow! Thank you so much. If they have developed better technology and produce it fast enough for us to use, thank you ever so much. But the vegetarian diet, we must start right now. That’s the best way, the fastest and the safest way for us and for our children. If you love your children, try the vegetarian diet. Thank you.

Mr. Lee Yong-Jung, Secretary-General of the People’s Coalition for Children’s Health, former head of the policy research team for children’s health on the Presidential Commission for Sustainable Development: I have been listening with interest to Your discussion, which I think could be summed in the three words: spirituality, vegetarian diet, and co-existence. I want to raise several issues that are related to foods and a sustainable society. We are surrounded by foods that are poisonous to our bodies. When we are exposed to these kinds of foods, the balance of micro-organisms in our body will be broken and we might have to fight a war with these micro-organisms that make up half the world’s organisms. The diseases that we might end up getting will be atopy, splenitis, asthma, and ADHD, which have tripled compared to 20 years ago. High blood pressure, cancer, and diabetes have also tripled. Problems that manifested in Korea include avian flu, noro virus, and antibiotics microbes, all due to poisonous foods. 
Mrs. Lee Hui-Jung, Secretary-General of the Korean Parents Association for Correct Education: Right now in Seoul, in front of the Cheonggye River, students are participating in a candlelight vigil gathering. This is to protest against importing meats that may have mad cow disease. This meat could be used in their school meals. So students are protesting because they don’t have any choice in uniformed school meals. That’s why they are having a candlelight demonstration at the Cheonggye River, because they do not want to eat “mad cows” meat. Their parents are protesting as well, because they do not want to have this beef in their children’s school meals. The protest shows that students are seriously concerned about the current educational environment and the problems of the current school meal system. I think children generally have more sympathy compared to adults, and that’s why they have come out to the streets to protest. They saw some clips on the internet about how animals weren’t treated humanely and from that they felt that animals were like them because their educational environment is not so desirable. It’s so competitive; they have to study till midnight or in the early morning in their school rooms. It’s like they are in a cage, a little cage without having much choice, so I feel that our students empathize with those confined animals.

動物帶給人類的禮物
清海無上師透過視訊會議以中文開示於福爾摩沙《真愛奇遇--我的鳥羽兄弟》
新書發表會 2007.08.24
新書發表會 2007.08.24
我們並不是想要動物回報，不過悠樂有一句話說：「救動物，動物會報恩」，真的是這樣。有時候動物會帶給你很多幸運，有時候會讓你的生意發達起來，有時候讓你身體更健康，或是感情方面、家庭方面更增加疼愛與快樂，每個動物帶來不同的禮物，要靜靜地體會。
在美國舊金山有一位很富有的人，他以前失去他的財產，變成一個沒有家的流浪漢。有一天，他碰到一隻狗，天天陪伴他，於是他便收養那隻狗，然後他的心情就好起來，身體也跟著好起來。後來他又開始工作，變得很富有，成為一位億萬富翁。在他去世以後，他把所有財產都留給那隻狗，並蓋了一棟很大的房子收養流浪狗，把他們照顧得非常好。你們大概都聽過這個故事，這就是那隻狗帶來給他富裕。
 |
很多狗會帶給人家富裕，不是只給人家快樂而已。每一個動物來你的家，一定會帶來一個禮物，你要慢慢、靜靜地觀察。不是說他會送一本書給你，或是送一塊餅乾給你，不是這樣！而是他慢慢地會在內邊、在靈性方面，帶給你很多不同的驚喜。不過如果你沒有辦法跟他溝通的話，你可能不會認為那是他帶給你的。比方說，你養了一隻狗之後，突然間生活好起來，或是生意好得不得了的話，那就要懷疑一點點（師父與大眾笑），也許是那隻狗帶給你好運，要慢慢觀察。
我有一隻鳥帶給我很多錢，我不要跟你們講是哪一隻（師父與大眾笑，大眾鼓掌）。我要養他的時候，並沒有想到會這樣，這是後來我才發現到的。因為他來我家以後，我們彼此慢慢了解、溝通後，我才知道原來是他帶來很多錢。不過那些錢我都用來幫助窮人，幫助別的鳥、別的狗、別的動物。我不是因為貪錢才養他，還沒養他以前，我遇到他時，我不認為他會帶來什麼錢的。通常動物也不會馬上讓你知道，他會先看你對他好不好（大眾笑），然後才發展那個禮物給你，真的是這樣。你對他越好，他給的禮物會越大。
他們也是從上天下來的。有一些動物，他們的靈性程度非常高，比一些人還要高。不要因為他外表是狗或是鳥的樣子，就認為他普通。不是！不是！你們常常聽說以前有一些動物會變成人，然後幫助主人，那些故事都是真的，不過我們要用心靈的眼睛才看得到，只可惜許多人看不到。
我們要記清楚，在聖經裡面，上帝有說：「我造所有的動物出來，是為了做你們的朋友，幫助你們。」上帝不會說謊的。所以我說他們帶來禮物，不會錯的，而且我有親身體驗。我慢慢了解到我所有的動物都帶來不同的禮物：有一些帶來好的朋友、有一些帶來好的助手。不是說他用電話叫他們過來（師父與大眾笑），而是因為動物住在我家，自然會吸引那些好朋友過來，或是錢、貴人會來，或是突然間我的生活變得更自由自在，以前那種業障、被人家拉攏的情形會突然斷掉，這些都是動物帶來的。
動物生出來真的是為了幫助人類。以後如果我們有機會發行《高貴的野生》這本書的話，我會透露出來一點點祕密給大家知道（大眾鼓掌）。我本來不敢寫出來，因為這些都是我們之間內邊的溝通，所以在那本關於鳥或是狗的書裡面，我真的不敢全部寫出來，我只寫一點點而已。我本來只想寫一本關於人跟鳥相處的那種普通的書，比方說天天一起吃飯、玩耍、快樂這樣，我沒有打算要寫那種心靈溝通出來，不過有時候逼不得已，就寫一點點出來。
有些野生動物也會幫助我們，比方說在你家附近的一些野生動物，有時候你餵他們一點食物，他們也會幫助你。即使你不能跟他們溝通，他們也會幫助，當然如果能溝通，就又更好了。我曾跟一隻天鵝溝通過，他跟我講好多、好多事情，我真的也沒有時間想得到。我不是不知道，而是沒時間想得到，跟他溝通了以後，才記起那些事情，然後才記得要做這個、要做那個。
所有動物生出來真的是為了要幫助人類，聖經講的沒有錯，要記得清楚，他們真的是人類的助手。不過很可惜，有一些人不曉得。慢慢來，多靜下來，然後才能夠跟動物溝通，才知道他們要幫助我們什麼。如果他們幫助我們，而我們卻不知道，那就太可惜！不是說我們一定要幫助他們，他們才會回報；而是不管我們有沒有幫助他們。不過我們如果能夠跟他們溝通、接觸的話，他們真的會幫助我們。這樣是對我們真的好，不是說對他們好而已，對我們也真正的好。

The Gifts Animals Bring to Humans
Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai in a videoconference
at the new book release of The Birds in My Life in Formosa,
August 24, 2007 (Originally in Chinese)
at the new book release of The Birds in My Life in Formosa,
August 24, 2007 (Originally in Chinese)
Although we do not expect reciprocation from animals, there is a saying in Au Lac “Save the animals and they will repay your kindness.” This is indeed true. Sometimes, animals can bring lots of good luck to you; perhaps it is prosperity to your business, perhaps good health, or more love and joy to your loving relationship or family life. Each animal brings a different gift; you have to perceive it quietly.
In San Francisco of the United States, there was a very rich man. Previously he lost all his wealth and became a homeless wanderer. One day, he came across a dog that then accompanied him all the time. After adopting the dog, he began to feel much better; his mood as well as his health improved. From there he stood up and worked again, and finally became a very rich man, a billionaire. After he died, his property was all left to that dog. A very big house was built to accommodate stray dogs and take very good care of them. Most probably you’ve heard this story. That dog had brought him great wealth.
 |
In addition to bringing happiness to people, many dogs also bring prosperity. Each animal that comes to your house will definitely bring a gift. You have to observe carefully and quietly. I don’t mean it will bring you a book or a cookie, no! It is not like that. Instead, it will gradually bring you all kinds of delightful spiritual surprises from within. However, if you cannot communicate with it, you might not think that it is the one who brought that to you. For example, after adopting a dog, if your life suddenly improves and your business booms tremendously, then you should begin to wonder. (Master and everyone laugh) Perhaps it was the dog that brought you good luck; try to observe carefully.
I have a bird that brought me lots of money, but I am not telling you which one. (Master and everyone laugh) (Applause) I never imagined that this would happen when I adopted it. I only discovered it later. It was because, after it came to my home, we began to understand each other slowly. Through our communication I realized that it had brought a lot of money, but I used it all to help needy people, and other birds, dogs and animals. I didn’t adopt the bird because I wanted the money. When I first met it, I did not know that it would bring any money. Usually, animals won’t immediately let you know; they’ll first find out whether you treat them nicely or not, before revealing the gift to you. It is really like that. The better you treat them, the greater the gift they have for you.
Animals are also from Heaven. Some of them are highly developed spiritually, even higher than some humans. Don’t think that they are ordinary beings just because they are wearing an outer appearance of a dog or bird. You have often heard stories of animals transforming into human form to help their human caretakers. Those stories were true, but we need to use our spiritual eye to perceive it. Unfortunately, many people cannot see this.
We should remember clearly what God has thus said in the Bible: I have created all the animals to befriend you and to help you. God wouldn’t tell lies. Therefore, I cannot be wrong when I say that the animals are bringing us gifts. Besides, I have personal experience. More and more I realize that all my animals have brought me different gifts. Some brought me good friends; some brought me good helpers. I don’t mean that they called them on the telephone and asked them to come. (Master and everyone laugh) It is just that, when the animals are living in my house, naturally they attract those good friends to come, or the money, or helpful persons. Or, suddenly my life becomes more free and easy. Some previous karmic hindrance, the bondage related to some people, would suddenly be severed. These are brought by the animals.
Animals are really born to help human beings. Later, when we have the opportunity to publish the book, The Noble Wilds, I may reveal some of the secrets to you. (Applause) Originally, I dared not reveal it in writing, because it belongs to our inner communication. So, I really dared not reveal it all, in the books about the dogs and birds; I just wrote a little bit. In the first place, I only wanted to write an ordinary book on how humans and birds should live with each other. For instance, to every day enjoy meals, play games, and have fun together. I had no intention to write about the heart-to-heart communication. However, sometimes I had no choice, so I had to write a little about it.
Even some wild animals will also help us. For instance, there might be some wild animals near your house, and you might have fed them occasionally, then they would also help you. Even if you cannot communicate with them, they would still help you. Of course it would be better if you could communicate. I once communicated with a swan and it told me a lot of things that I didn’t have time to think about. Not that I wasn’t aware, but I had no time to think about it. After communicating with the swan, I remembered those things and that I had to do this and that.
Really, all animals are born to help human beings. The Bible is correct! We should remember that they are our helpers. Unfortunately, some people are not aware. Be patient and calm down, then we can communicate with animals and understand what kind of help they are giving us. What a shame if they have helped us yet we are not aware of it! It is not necessary that we must help them first and then they will repay us. Regardless of whether we have helped them or not, if we interact and communicate with them, they really will help us. In this way, it is really good for us. Not only good for them, but also really good for us!

文摘:
..............佛陀什麼都說過了，佛陀盡最大努力，為我們犧牲一切，耶穌為世人犧牲性命，古魯那那、摩訶毗羅、先知穆罕默德，「願主次他平安！」這麼多明師、這麼多偉大聖賢，什麼都說過了，無論是不是新年說的。新年不只是歡樂慶祝的時刻，更是該下定決心，展開新生活的時刻。如果去年沒有做到，我們每逢新年應該立誓展開新生活。過去的一年裡對自己和環境感到不滿意的地方，都要改進，是嗎？所有的聖賢都講過，要與眾生和平共存，要發揮愛心，愛眾生如愛自己。
新年應開始反省自己，是否有發揮那份愛，佛陀、耶穌和所有明師都告訴我們，要過著慈悲的生活，但我們甚至在慶祝佛誕日時，很多佛教徒還是吃動物死屍。在耶誕節，或是任何先知的誕辰，很多人還是一樣宰殺動物，讓人和動物受苦，因為人類有意無意地曲解、誤解明師所有的愛心訊息，所有聖哲、聖賢飽受苦難、犧牲一切，為了提醒我們有更慈悲的生活方式。
我希望在新的一年，所有人都能發願做到最好，跟隨聖人的典範，報答他們的善心，拯救自己和地球上的眾生，其實這是我們的義務，（是的，師父）因為你們看現在各地天災頻仍，每次轉開電視多數都在報導戰爭、災禍，光是看電視就令我心碎不已，我們不能說：「我的國家、我的地區沒有災難，我要慶祝新年，天下太平」其他地方有災難，你們總是問我，就象其他人問我：為什麼發生在非洲？為什麼沒有發生在我住的地方？我們都同一體.
全球是共同體，彼此休戚相關，所以災難不一定發生在特定的地方，哪裡都有可能發生，或是比較脆弱的地方、原本就可能有災難的地方，比較脆弱的地方，比方說吃到不好的東西時，哪裡會冒出痘痘？告訴我，在臉上，是嗎？（是，師父）不會因為你一直把食物放進嘴巴，痘痘就從嘴巴、手上或肚子上冒出來，而是出現在臉上，比方說這樣，或是胃腸有問題時也會影響頭腦，會頭痛，是嗎？（是，師父）是啊，就是這樣。或是母親懷孕時吸煙，子宮內的胎兒血液迴圈也會有問題，或是有些嬰兒出生時會死于嬰兒猝死症，這些我們都知道，如果父母在家吸煙，小孩有時也會有問題，即使年輕時沒問題，五十歲以後肺部、呼吸系統還是會有毛病，所以影響深遠。
所以如果我們繼續殺害人和動物，到處會發生災禍，也可能發生在我們住的地方，影響我們自己、家人，整個環境和鄰里。記得聖經裡面大衛王的故事嗎？他強佔部下的妻子，把她據為己有，還殺了那丈夫，結果上天懲罰他，降禍給整個國家。聖經上面都有記載，但是有多少基督徒認為那是因果的法律？那確實是因果的法律，「種什麼因，得什麼果。」不要說只有佛教教義才這麼說，或耆那教、錫克教、印度教、甚至伊斯蘭教，所有先知都告訴我們，要行善、做好人。我們現在是否該追隨他們的典範？
由於這可能是我最後一次透過多頻道的電視臺，並以這種方式向全球觀眾談話，我不妨告訴大家這些。
因為我們都同一體，所以在何處爆發問題，並沒有差別。如果有人在此處做惡，問題可能會在他處爆發，所以不要一直問我，何以災難發生在窮國？窮國人民受苦更多。因為那是脆弱地區，就像臉部比較敏感，如果消化系統不好，臉上會長滿痘痘。是，臉部並沒有吃什麼，你的臉沒有塗抹什麼，只有搽滋養乳霜，或許也沒搽，儘管如此還是長痘痘，因為血液不夠乾淨，或是有消化的問題，吃太多不好的食物，血液不純淨的關係，是嗎？（是，師父。）有時嘴巴吃東西，出問題的卻是肝臟，懂嗎？（懂，師父）有時你這裡割傷，或有人這裡割傷，卻在別處引發感染，細菌會進入肝臟。或是嘴巴吸煙，卻罹患肺癌，比方說這樣。
如果吃太多肉或太多脂肪等等，心臟就會有問題，這是因為全身各部位是一體的，全身是一體的，同樣，全世界也是同一體，所以災難會發生在這裡或那裡都一樣沒有差別，這是給人類的警訊，這是我們行為的果報，我這些年來也已盡力提醒大家同樣的訊息，我們必須仁愛慈悲，也許我所說的已超過我所該說的了，現在大家該決定自己的生活方向，這也關係到其他生命和地球的存續。
我在新年前夕祈禱，願人人選擇聖賢的明智道路，愛護並尊重地球上所有的生靈，這樣他們而今而後也會獲得天堂的愛與尊重。我要感謝所有寫信給我的人，告訴我你改變生活，回歸自己輝煌的本性，慈悲博愛的本性，我感謝所有以身作則淨化社會的人，你們改善自己的人生，進而造福世界，你們戒煙、戒賭、戒酒和毒等麻醉品，選擇持純素，而且儘量幫助他人，我感謝這麼做的觀眾、全世界的人、全球領袖和人民，我祈求上帝加持各位，誠心向善行善，並持續過高雅的生活。
我今年沒有心情慶祝耶誕節，因為一再得知有數十億各種無辜的海陸動物，為了這個節日被屠殺，耶穌是慈悲的明師、是上帝之子，我們信耶穌也當如是。全球情勢也混亂不堪，我絲毫快樂不起來，耶誕節期間我在深山裡，那裡沒水、沒電，我日夜打坐，耶誕節前後都如是，由於是新年，我想：好吧,下山進城，城裡才有一些設備可和你們聯絡、講話。
也許是最後一次，不是最後一次聯絡，而是我們最後一次像這樣相聚，也可能是我最後一次像這樣得全球世人說話，然後我們就必須開始甚深打坐。我們說夠多了，大家都長大懂事，我們不必長篇大論才能使別人瞭解，重點是要落實所知，多說無益，任何有愛心的人都會瞭解我的訊息，即使我只講一次，因為他們也不忍心人類和動物這樣受苦，你們都很清楚.（是的，師父）
我也感謝無上師TV全球和總部的工作人員，謝謝大家，很榮幸這些年來與大家一起工作，也許我們一起促成了世界些許肯定的改變，但太微不足道了，不足以讓我們慶祝，但無論我們對世界促成多麼少的改變，我都感謝上天和你們的善行，願上帝永遠加持你們，也永遠感謝你們。我也恭喜了悟的人，明白人生不僅僅是獲得文憑、有個工作、結婚生子，然後往生。雖然我們的社會都這麼強調鼓勵大家，生命卻非始于出生時或在死亡時終止，開悟不過是起點而已。我也恭喜英勇而明智的眾生，掙脫枷鎖和誘惑，不讓純潔靈魂遭誘捕，淪為物質、感情和頭腦的奴隸，不陷於無盡悲傷痛苦，以致遺忘偉大真我，忘記要提升至更高的靈性等級，忘記要回歸自己輝煌的源頭家鄉。
我再說一次，開悟只是個開始，對於那些真正想知道生命奇跡，想認識宇宙和內心真愛的人，旅程還會繼續前進，並充滿奇跡和美妙的發現，我借此機會提醒這裡和宇宙其他地方的人，要為了高雅理想、和平的崇高目標和無條件的愛繼續奮鬥，即使失敗了，請再接再厲直到成功為止，你們遲早會成功的！但越快越好，因為當你靈性提升時，能瞭解一些你從不認為自己會瞭解的事情，有些人也許以為自己什麼都知道了，才沒有！連我也不是無所不知，我意思是頭腦能累積消化多少？就算我無所不知也得每天拿出一些我所需要的，不能坐在這裡說：我什麼都知道了，我不可能一下子什麼都知道，懂嗎？一切都在我們寶庫裡，我們必須深沉打坐才能領略內在的靈性光彩與寶藏，它生生世世沉睡被棄之不用或很少被開發，我祝各位好運，在新年重新開始展開更好的生活，致上愛與祝福，擁抱你們。我會繼續打坐為全人類祈禱滿滿的愛。（感謝師父）不客氣，還有其他事嗎？有嗎？我正在聽
同修：師父，我們只想謝謝您帶領我們走這趟非凡的旅程，賜給地球這份禮物，感恩有此機會與您共事，服務世界，謝謝您這些年來以愛心、耐心寬宏指導我們，在此謹代表人類、動物和地球的眾生對您的犧牲、慈悲、智慧，致上最深謝意，我們衷心祈願所有人早日聽從您的金玉良言，選擇無動物成分飲食並行善以拯救地球，代表這裡所有人，還有收看這場實況轉播的所有觀眾，祝CH無上師純素新年快樂！我們愛您，師父！
師父：純素新年快樂！祝福你們和全世界，我好愛好愛你們，全心全意愛所在人！
同修：師父，非常謝謝您，謝謝師父！
師父：以後再見了，好嗎？我指世界會會員，對了，拜託大家至少我們世界會會員請更精進修行，放下其他羈絆，除了對家庭和對世界的責任，其他都放下，省下時間打坐，祈禱純素世界，世界和平！
我愛你們全部徒弟或非徒弟、動物、樹、石頭、地球，我愛你們全部，很愛很愛，（我們愛您，師父）好，再會了
同修：師父再見，感謝師父，非常感激師父！
師父：即使我不再看你們，你們都在我心裡，在我的打坐裡，在我的禱告裡。愛你們！

A New Year of Compassion:
Practice the Teachings of the Sages
—Special Message from Supreme Master Ching Hai
Practice the Teachings of the Sages
—Special Message from Supreme Master Ching Hai
Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, worldwide broadcast videoconference with Supreme Master Television staff and global audience, Los Angeles, California, USA, December 31, 2011
(Originally in English) (DVD#993)
First of all, I want to wish all of you and the audience and the world a very, very happy, lucky, vegan New Year. And I think I have tried everything.
I don’t know if anything else I should say because I have said a lot already. It’s not what I say, it’s what we apply. And it’s not only what I say, it’s also if anyone listens or not. But nevertheless, it is New Year, and since you request, we say something. One more time won’t hurt. Even Buddha has already said everything. Buddha has tried his best to sacrifice everything for us. Jesus gave up his life for the world. Also, Guru Nanak, Mahavira, Prophet Muhammad, Peace Be Upon Him, etc. So many Masters, so many great saints and sages have told us everything already, New Year or old year.
It’s not just because of the New Year that we should be happy and celebrate, but we should start like a new resolution, a new lifestyle, if we haven’t tried it in the past year. Every time it’s the New Year, we should make a vow to begin our new life. Everything that we don’t like about the past year, from ourselves or from our environment, we should change. All the sages have told us already to live and let live, and to love all beings as oneself. This is a time to begin to reflect whether we have done that or not. The Buddha, Jesus, and all the Masters have told us to live a compassionate life, yet when we commemorate Buddha’s birth even on that day, many Buddhists still have lunch eating dead animal flesh. At Christmas, or often at any Prophet’s birth celebration, many still do the same, killing and making suffering for humans and animals, because humans misinterpret; they misunderstand all the loving messages of the Masters, either knowingly or unknowingly. All other sages and saints have endured hardship and sacrificed everything to remind us of a more compassionate way of life.
I hope in the New Year, all of us try to vow to do our best as well to follow their example, to repay their kindness, to save our lives and the lives of all on the planet. It is our duty, actually, to do that.
Because you see, disasters happen everywhere nowadays. Every time you turn on any television, it’s only about war or disaster, most of the time. It just breaks my heart to even watch TV. We cannot say, “It’s okay in my area or my country, there’s no disaster. I celebrate New Year, nothing happens.” It happens elsewhere. And you will always ask me, like everyone else would ask me, “Why… Why does it happen in Africa? Why doesn’t it happen where I live?” It’s because we are all one. You see, the whole world community is connected. So disaster doesn’t necessarily break out in a particular place. It breaks out elsewhere, somewhere that already has some potential for disaster, or in vulnerable areas. For example, if you eat something that is not good, the pimple breaks out on your face. It’s not breaking out, maybe, in your stomach, or on your hand, or in your mouth, because you keep putting the food in it, but it breaks out on your face. Or if you have a digestion problem in the stomach, it affects your brain, and you get a headache. Or if a mother smokes while pregnant, the fetus inside her womb suffers from poor blood circulation, for example. Or, when he or she is born, the baby has sometimes Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, as we all know very well. And if the parents are smoking in the house, the children sometimes have trouble. Even if not too much in youth, after 50 years of age, they have trouble with the lungs or breathing system. So the consequences include long-term effects.
Thus, if we continue with the killing of man and animals, then disasters will break out elsewhere or right where we live, personally affecting us, our family or the surroundings or the neighborhood. Remember, in the Bible, the story of David the King: He forced the wife of one of his subordinates to become his wife and then killed the husband, and Heaven punished with disaster for his country. That is even stated in the Bible. But how many Christians would consider that as the law of cause and retribution? That is the law of cause and retribution. That is the, “What you sow, so shall you reap.” So there’s no need to say it’s only Buddhist doctrine that says that, or Jainism or Sikhism or Hinduism or even Islam. All the Prophets have told us to do good things and be good, but would we try now to follow their example?
Since this may be the last time I have the chance to speak to all of the world audience via multi-channel television, and in this way, I might as well tell you all this. Because we are all one, there’s no differentiating where the problem will break out. If somebody does some bad things here, the problem might break out elsewhere. So do not keep asking me why disasters happen in poor countries. People in poor countries suffer more because these are vulnerable areas. Just like your face is more sensitive, so if your digestion system is no good, you have pimples all over your face. Your face doesn’t eat anything. Your face doesn’t have anything put on it, just nice and nutritious cream, or not; but even then, the pimples break out on your face because you don’t have enough purity in the blood, because you have a digestion problem, because you eat too many things that are not good or are not constructive to your blood’s purity. And sometimes, you eat something in your mouth, but your liver has problems. And sometimes someone has a cut here, but then he has infection elsewhere. It goes into his liver. Or the person smokes here on his mouth, but his lungs will have cancer, for example. And if he eats meat too much or too much fat and so on, the heart will have problems. It’s because the whole body is one. Similarly, the whole world is one. So, disaster will happen here, or it will happen there. It’s the same. It’s a warning for humanity as the consequence of actions that we took.
I have also done my best all these years to try to remind everyone of the same message, that we have to be loving and kind. Probably I have said more than enough of what should be said. So it’s up to everyone now to decide the course of their lives, which are also linked to all others’ lives and to the survival of this planet. I do pray at the New Year’s Eve that everyone chooses the wise path of the saints and sages, which is love and respect for all beings on the planet, so that they themselves will also be loved and respected in Heaven, now and hereafter. By the way, I thank all of you who wrote to me about the changes in your life, that you have turned back to your own Self, your glorious and original Nature, which is loving kindness. I thank all of you who are bettering your own life and in turn bettering the world by cleaning up society with your own example by, for example, quitting smoking, stopping gambling, refraining from intoxicants, choosing vegan, helping others in any way you can, etc. I thank all of you for all that, the audience and the world’s people, the leaders and citizens of the world, all alike. I pray God to bless your sincere effort to be good and do good and continue in this noble way of life.
This year, I did not have the heart to celebrate Christmas while knowing that again and again, billions of innocent animals of all kinds, from the sea to the forest, are massacred for this occasion. Jesus was a compassionate Master, the Son of God, and we who follow Jesus should be the same. Also, there’s so much turmoil in the world, it just wouldn’t help my heart to feel happy in any way. I was, at Christmastime, in the mountains, very deep in the mountains. There was no water, no electricity there, and I meditated day and night before Christmas, and also after Christmas. It’s just because at the New Year I thought, Okay, I’d go down to the city where there is a little facility to contact you, talk to you, maybe for the last time. I don’t mean last time-last time, but when we’re together like this, and also that I could talk to the whole world like this, maybe for the last time.
And then we all will have to go into deep meditation. We have talked enough. I mean, everyone has grown up and understood things. We don't have to talk a lot in order for people to understand. It is the practice of the knowledge. It’s not the talking much. Anyone who has a caring heart would understand my message, even spoken once, because they cannot also bear all this suffering caused to humans and animals alike. You know very well.
So, and by the way, for the Supreme Master Television staff around the world, and in the headquarters there, I thank you all. It has been a privilege to be working with you all these years. Together, maybe we have caused a little good change in the world. Too little, too little for us to celebrate anything; but for whatever little change we have caused in the world, I thank Heaven and all of you for your good effort. May God bless you forevermore. Thank you, forever. I also congratulate those who have realized that life is not just about getting a diploma, getting a job or getting married, begetting children, and then die. So, though this is what our system seems to emphasize and encourage for everyone, life does not start here when we are born, or end when we are dead. And enlightenment is only the beginning.
Congratulations also to those brave and wise beings who float above all shackles and temptations designated to ensnare the pure souls into physical, emotional, and mental slavery, to so much sorrow and trouble that they forget their true great Self, forgetting to soar higher into the higher spiritual dimension, forgetting to go back Home to their great original Abode. Again, I tell you, enlightenment is only the beginning. The journey will continue, full of wonder and miraculous encounters and discovery for those who truly want to know the miracle of life, and the real love from the universe and from your heart. I take this opportunity to remind all fellow beings, here and elsewhere in the universe, to continue striving for noble ideals, the lofty goals of peace and unconditional love. Even if you fail, please try again and again, until you succeed. And succeed you will, sooner or later. The sooner the better, because you will know things that you never thought you would know before, when you uplift yourself into a higher spiritual understanding. You thought you knew already everything – some might think like that. No, no, no. Even I don’t know everything yet. I mean, how much can our brain accumulate and digest? Even if I know everything, I have to take out some that I need every day. I cannot sit here and say, “Now I know everything already.” I cannot know everything at one go; It’s all in store for us. We have to meditate deeply in order to realize the spiritual splendor and treasure that we have within ourselves, that has lain dormant there, life after life, unused, or very little used. I wish all of you good luck with the new start for betterment in the New Year, and I embrace you all with my love and best wishes. I will continue to meditate and pray for us all. Love love.
Oh, by the way, please, all of us, at least our Association members, please be more diligent in your spiritual practice. Forsake all else except the necessary duties to your families and the world. Save time for meditation for World Vegan, World Peace.
I love you all−disciples and non-disciples, animals, trees, rocks, and the planet−I love you all, so much. Even if I don’t see you again, you are all in my heart, and in my meditation and in my prayers. Happy Vegan New Year, to you and to all! And I love you very much. I love you all with all my heart.

1999.5.3和平的工具
問：您設計的珠寶很特別，其所代表的意義讓我們印象非常深刻，請問您的靈感是從哪裡來的？
答：可能來自上帝，我從上帝得到了一切，如果沒有祂，我根本不重要。
問：為什麼人們不容易找到上帝？
答：其實並不難找，只不過祂藏起來了，而大家又找錯了地方。就好像你在這邊遺失了相機，可是你卻到外邊去找，只因為那邊比較亮、人比較多，這樣你當然會找得很辛苦，所以一定要找對地方。
問：可是大家都知道上帝就在心中。
答：大家只是從字面上知道而已，實際上並不瞭解。既然我有幸知道祂在哪裡，當有人想要知道時，我一定會和他們分享。
問：您為什麼認為您可以影響歐洲戰亂的情況？您如何可以對地球有一些正面的影響？您實際上是怎麼做的呢？
答：世上有很多事物，除了我們可以接觸、掌握的物質之外，還有其它許多看不見的東西，像是空氣、愛、善意、肯定思想等等。即使我們看不到肯定思想、看不到愛，但這些力量卻影響著大家，譬如你愛你的太太，這會帶給你們雙方很美好的感覺，即使你不能拿愛出來給別人看，可是你們雙方都知道愛確實存在，它讓你們感覺很美好。同樣的，肯定的思想、愛心的祈禱，以及有目標、有意義的專注打坐，都會逐漸造成影響。
問：您不認為在某些情況我們需要使用強硬的手段來處理事情嗎？世界上有些人你沒辦法跟他們用這些和平的方法。
答：你說得對，在某些特殊的情況，確實需要使用一些比較強硬的手段去面對某些人，然而這世界上已經有人在用那種方法了，我們則從和平的方面盡力。如果有人必須使用強硬的手段，我們儘量幫忙減少對無辜百姓所造成的傷害。例如我們祈求戰爭快點結束、祈求能有好的解決方案，這樣對無辜百姓的傷害就會降到最低。即使必須使用強硬的手段，我們也不希望它持續太長久的時間，所以祈禱和肯定的思想會縮短強硬手段持續的時間、把負面的影響降到最低。
提醒我們記得上帝
問：您設計的珠寶和靈性生活有什麼樣的關連？
答：日常生活中處處都有這種關連，只不過有時我們忘記了。如果我們都以上帝的名義去做任何事情，就算沒有關連，也比不以祂的名義去做事來得好，因為世上已經有太多的事物讓我們忘記上帝，如果我們能運用任何事物來提醒自己記得上帝，這都會有很大的幫助。
問：您怎樣提醒大家記得上帝？
答：你可以從許多我所做的事中看得出來，我甚至可以用寶石來傳達上帝的訊息和代表聖經的經文；當人們戴上「所羅門王的智慧」、「無上聖愛」這些天飾時，他們自然在潛意識中就會提醒自己：人生最終的目標是要去尋找愛、尋找真我，而不只是整天想著這個無常的物質身體，所以名字和語言對人有很大的影響力。
問：您所指名字有很大的影響力是什麼意思？
答：噢，名字有很大的影響力。
問：什麼名字？
答：任何名字、語言都有很大的影響力，所以當說到「上帝」這個字，即使我們沒有看到祂，也和我們說「狗」這個字有很大的分別，雖然這只是個空泛的名字，仍然有影響力。就好像當你說「我愛您」，與你說「我恨您」，雖然都是空泛的字眼，卻有著完全不同的影響力，所以名字有其影響力，尤其對我們對我們的心智方面有影響。即使沒有說出來的字，有時也很有力量。
問：上帝有名字嗎？
答：上帝有各式各樣的名字，可是也可以說祂沒有任何名字，是我們給祂名字，我們稱呼祂「阿拉」、「最高的主宰」、「佛」等各種名字，有些人甚至為了爭論哪一個才是真正的名字而打仗。
問：您知道哪一個才是真正的名字嗎？
答：我知道，可是我不能告訴你。
問：您把它保留給自己？
答：不是的，而是你必須自己去發現，因為祂會用上帝的語言跟你耳語溝通。
問：你不能和大家分享嗎？
答：那並不是一般人類的語言，如果用人類的語言說了出來，我怕會減低祂的尊貴。很難描述我所知道的，就好像很難描述愛一樣，我們說「愛」，或說「amour （法文的愛）」，或說「liebe （德文的愛）」，可是這些都不是真正愛的語言，只有相愛的人才會知道真正愛的語言。同樣的，只有深愛上帝的人才會知道上帝的名字，當獨自靜坐，與祂在一起，祂會告訴你祂的名字，我怕給祂多造一個名字出來。
問：要找到上帝或認識上帝是否有書面的文字可依循？
答：恐怕沒有。是有方法可以讓你找到上帝，但並沒有一份白紙黑字讓你在閱讀後就可以找到上帝，而是一種微妙的力量傳遞、微妙的連繫，就好像用一支火炬點燃另一支火炬的潛在能量，兩支火炬就同時都亮了。雖然沒有文字記載，可是卻有方法可以知道，我們稱這個為「即刻開悟」。當有人已經找到了光，他就可以讓你的火炬也發光，這非常簡單，不需要語言文字。當我們說得越多，我們就越不能找到祂，這就是問題所在。你問我祂的名字，我是願意告訴你祂其中的一個名字，可是我恐怕又變成多了一個名字出來，然後我們又會爭論哪一個上帝比較好，祂已經有許多名字了。
上帝的矛盾面
問：有一些人很幸運在小時候或在某種情況下體驗到上帝，另外也有許多團體聲稱用他們的方法可以找到上帝。您可以解釋為什麼同樣都是祈求上帝的啟示，有些人可以馬上見到，有些人或許幾年就可以見到，但也有些人終生不斷的祈求，卻從來也沒有見到上帝呢？
答：這是上帝矛盾的地方。聖經上有說：「尋找，就尋見；叩門，就給你們開門。」（馬太福音第7 章7 ─8 節）可是並不是這樣，因為還要看我們怎麼樣去祈求，而這個是沒有辦法教導的。誠心是沒有辦法教導的，對上帝的渴望也是沒有辦法教導的，每一個人都必須要找到方法，誠心去和上帝溝通。例如，有兩個人都在祈求同樣的東西，一個人是真正的渴望，可是另外一個人只是因為有東西在那兒，或是因為別人有，所以他也想要有，但上帝知道每個人內邊靈魂的真正渴望，所以有時有些人會想：「我祈求這麼多，祈求這麼久，為什麼上帝還不給我呢？而那個人跪在那裡才不過五分鐘，卻得到了。」其實重點在我們的內邊。就好像我們只會愛上某一個人，卻不會愛上另外一個人，雖然另外那個比較英俊、富有，這就是沒有辦法解釋。
「內心真正渴望上帝」和「要求上帝」是不同的。你們越要求得到一些東西，反而可能得到的就越少，聽起來有點矛盾，可是事實就是如此。例如，如果你說：「我需要錢。」全宇宙都聽到了，上帝聽到：「噢，她需要錢，好！」結果是你一輩子都會需要錢（大眾笑）。因為你這樣要求，所以結果就這樣。你說需要錢，祂們知道了：「好，她需要錢」，然後你要什麼就有什麼，你就會一直需要錢、需要錢、需要錢。
所以聖經裡也說你必須相信你會得到你要的：「你們禱告，無論求甚麼，只要信，就必得著。（馬太福音，第21章22節）」這句話很妙，你怎麼能相信你知道自己本來就不會得到？然後，你會和自己爭辯：「我相信我會得到」，可是後來你知道你相信自己不會得到，這就是重點所在。除非再變成像小孩一樣，否則我們不能進入天國，我們一定要變成像小孩一樣的純真，我們要每天從裡到外徹底的淨化自己，所以我們必須每天打坐，我們必須真正的在內邊懺悔，而不是外表的懺悔。有人上教堂、去喜馬拉雅山、去恆河洗澡，去許許多多的地方，可是卻都沒有結果，只因為必須知道這一定要由內邊做起。
我告訴一個秘訣，如果你們想要得到一些東西，那你們就不要去想，雖然這很困難，可是你們卻真的反而會得到一切。你們以為我想要這些珠寶、這些成功、這些錢、這些名聲嗎？不，我並不想要，我從來都不想要，可是這些東西卻自己跑了過來，真的是這樣！上帝知道我講的都是真心話，我做這些事是因為這些東西自己跑過來，我從來都不想要，現在也還是不想要，即使明天我失去了曾經得到的一切，即使全世界都責罵我，我也沒有關係。你們一定要到達這種狀態，才會得到一切。
上帝的另一面
問：現在是科技的時代，而我們也相信在過去幾千年的歷史裡，一些明師曾經到過地球來教導人們怎樣了悟上帝，可是直到今天，科學界還是沒辦法實質證明上帝的存在，而且也一直有人為此爭論不休，我們可以完全相信上帝，可是事實上我們沒辦法去測量祂。
答：我可以證明！
問：我知道這個問題很可笑，請原諒我的無明。不過我知道一直有人為此在爭論。今晚您可不可以針對這個問題向大家開示？
答：有許多方法可以證明事物的存在，也有一些方法可以證明上帝的存在，但並不是用科學的方法，例如，科學家已經證明黑洞的存在，證明「反物質」的存在，你可以稱這些就是上帝，宇宙間有一種能量或反能量，這些是無法測量的。
問：是無法測量。
答：是的，但是我們能夠知道，因為祂就在我們的內邊，只要我們知道方法，就可以做得到，我可以證明給你們看，可是你們必須跟隨我所教你們的方法，不是跟隨我這個人，而是跟隨一些指導原則，就好像踢足球或開車，也都有一定的規則。
問：不需證明給我看，因為我知道有上帝，我也相信上帝，但是您是不是可以向科學家證明上帝的存在？
答：不，我不能，因為科學家要用物質來證明一切，上帝有祂物質的一面，但也有祂無形的一面。當上帝以物質的方式顯現時，我們可以在各種地方、各種事物中看到祂，這些人都是上帝，你可以觸摸、談話、擁抱、親吻、愛祂，這些都是上帝，可是上帝也有另外一面，那一面是大家非常渴望知道的，它必須用不同的方法去尋找。
物質的方面我們可以使用物質的方法，但是無形的方面就必須用無形的方法。科學家忘記了上帝的無形層面，他們一直都專注在上帝的物質層面，所以當然他們只找到上帝的物質面，雖然這些也是上帝，但是如果他們想要更加了解祂，了解祂的另外一面，他們就必須改用其它的方法，這就好像他們用物質的方法找到上帝的物質面是一樣的道理。大家在物質世界看到上帝造了許多奇妙的事物，但是如果他們想要找到上帝另外一面無形的神奇化現，就必須使用其它的方法，可是科學家並不用這種方法，所以我怎樣能證明給他們看呢？我不想證明什麼，我並不是來證明上帝存在或不存在，我來這個地球的唯一目的，是為了幫助那些想要認識天父、想要認識上帝的另外一面的人，這一面的上帝也是我們可以去愛的，但祂並非像一般我們所想像的那樣。我並不想證明什麼，從來也沒有想過要證明，我甚至也不想證明我是對的，我只是想幫助那些想要認識上帝的人，很簡單。
問：是否有人可以幫助還沒有和你有一樣了悟程度的人明瞭這些事？我不知道這是否很重要，或是有其必要性，如果很重要的話，或許像您這種人可以試著去說服那些科學家，如果他們想要找到證明的話，他們必須改變自己了解事物的方法。
答：他們不必改變什麼，他們現在也很好，除非當他們想要知道自己的另外一面時，他們就會去尋找一位明師。世界上有許多師父，他們都比我更有名，我只是一個設計師，是個找到上帝的人，順便變成設計師。
他們不需要做什麼，從來就沒有人需要做什麼，因為每個人都已經是上帝，沒有人需要著急。有些人已經準備好了，他們想要回家，所以他們就會去找回家的路，他們去喜馬拉雅山找這位師父、找那位師父。可是也有些人，他們還想留在這裡，這樣也可以，大家都沒問題，大家都是上帝，真的天下本無事。對不想跟清海無上師學的人，你們不要覺得遺憾，沒有什麼關係，因為他們都已經是上帝，沒有什麼是他們必須要做的，如果他們不想做，那他們就不需要做。人生是掌握在自己的手裡，他們可以決定自己的前進的步伐，決定自己回家的時間。他們在這裡還有事情要處理，如果他們不想認識上帝，如果他們不想證明祂的存在，這些都沒有關係。因為他們的工作是為大家發現新的事物、發明舒適的新東西，等將來他們完成了工作，他們可能就會決定：「好了，我做完了，我想要回家。」那時自然就會有師父出現在他們的面前。所以沒有關係，一切都沒有問題。
我並不想改變這個世界，我所做的一切，都只是因為我被要求，就好像如果你是我的姊妹，而你要求我做某些事情，我就會為你做，只是這樣而已。你們要求我設計東西，我就設計；你們要求我來這裡教打坐，我就來教你們。我自己並不想要做什麼，可是我也不會拒絕。我並不是因為這個世界很亂，而要來拯救世界，我連一點這種想法也沒有。因為我知道大家都是上帝，這是千真萬確、毫無疑問的，我一點也不急著要帶任何人回家，除非他們自己很著急，我才會幫忙推他們一下，「好了，好了，往前走！」（師父笑）所以放輕鬆，每一個人都很好，我向你們保證總有一天他們都會回家。（大眾鼓掌）

節錄
我誠心懇切呼籲各靈修團體，各宗派的所有成員:請盡量多打坐，越多越好，以你們正面的能量來保護地球，你若不知道如何打坐?請向您認為適合的團體學習打坐，或以我過去教大眾的方法打坐。若你不知道如何打坐?或忘記我教的方法，請諮詢我們的世界會會員。若你不想打坐，請以你以愛心全心像天堂祈求。這樣地球就會變成慈愛的世界，然後世界就能實現永久的和平。
我建議幾個你能與我們一起打坐的時間:
中歐早上五到六點，(台北 11-12:00)
中歐早上十點到十一點，(台北 16-17:00)
中歐下午一到二點，(台北 19-20:00)
中歐晚上九到十點。(台北 03-04:00)
如果可以的話，請在這些時段跟我們一起打坐祈禱。團結的能量非常強大，許多人同心進行有意義的活動，效果一定會很大。若你無法在這些時段參與打坐，請在你選擇的時間或你有空的時間打坐。請以你選擇的方法加入我們一起打坐，來祈求純素世界與世界和平。除此之外，目前我沒有其他方法。在此先感謝大家並祝福我們的地球與同胞。純素世界，世界和平。
(如何打坐---方便法)
只要閉上雙眼集中注意力，在前額的中央，從那邊往前面的中心點看，不管任何東西出現在你面前，在裡面，不是外面。此時此地你們就可以享受到天堂，你在裡面看到的光，見到的天堂，你聽到的上帝的聲音，那些都是你的本性、你的佛性。如果你希望好好利用在地球的時間，你每天都可以享受它。
持純素的人打坐多久都可以，沒有副作用。但我建議吃肉的人，每次打坐最多半小時，每天半個小時，或每天兩次。一次20分鐘，早上20分鐘，晚上20分鐘。
記得在打坐當中，一定要一直記得上帝，不管因為甚麼，感覺到焦慮或害怕，就求上帝保護你、加持你。

我們需要重新思考我們的生活方式，考慮所有地球物種與存活，而不是一時的享受而已，我們要非常無私，只要吃純素就好了，很簡單:這樣就能救地球上所有生命，拯救動物和環境，為後代子孫保留這個世界。
我們是天堂的兒女，我們要甚麼，就要表明我們的心意，我們如果要和平、要慈悲、要愛和天堂的加持，就必須以行動表示，我們要相親相愛，要以愛心對待彼此，要以愛心善待眾生，天堂才會說:啊!我的孩子要這個，我們才會如願以償。不能只是坐著祈求和平與愛心，行為卻背道而馳，以暴力對待，殺害人類和動物，這顯然表示我們不要愛、慈悲與和平。這是宇宙的法律，我們如果殺生或害人，就需以靈性功德賠償。我們吃多少動物就要以靈性功德賠償那些動物，我們會賠光靈性功德，在靈性方面變成窮光蛋。如果靈性功德不足就必須賠上健康、好運或家人的和諧。更嚴重的是賠上世界的和平，付出永無寧日的代價。屠殺動物為食就是在殺害地球，我們全都變成兇手。所以我希望人人都變成英雄，停止吃動物來救地球。

現在如果你改吃純素，為了要救地球，那就是拯救生命。不只是動物的命，還有地球的生命和數十億人性命。所以這樣功德無量。就算他們沒跟我學也沒關係，如果他們拯救世界，努力拯救無數生命，他們的靈魂也會得救。
大多數人已經準備好要躍升到更高的層次、更高的意識與生活方式。人民要自己決定改變，例如改吃純素。不好的領袖會改變，或者被換掉。要思考正確的方向，聽自己的心聲，因為每一個人，就等於一個小國家。如果大家決定，往正確的方向走，全世界的能量就會改變。不管領袖有多壞，終究會改變的。吃素也有幫助，減少暴力和盲目，減少低等的品質，愛心品質就會增加，越跟上帝溝通，吃素越久我們就越敏感，越跟世界的眾生溝通，不只是動物，連樹木也是。我上次告訴過你們，連樹都會通知我，說我有危險。必要的時候，連樹木都會跟你講話，你會感受到他們的愛，你會更讚嘆他們的美，好像第一次發現一樣。突然你會覺得樹木好美啊!動物好可愛啊!

Lecture by Supreme Master Ching Hai Climate Change Village
December 11, 2010 - Cancún, Mexico
地球賜給我們非常多，至少15至50%的靈性力量，你所呼吸的空氣，光是吸空氣就獲得15%加持，樹木給我們10%的力量和靈性點數。天使確實存在，眾神確實存在，你越純淨就有越多天使保護您。上帝真的在聆聽，天使真的在傾聽，是我們以沉重的能量將他們推開。我們沉重的殺生能量，使我們聽不清楚。即使沒有殺生，卻吃肉間接殺生，動物垂死之前，會痛苦、哀泣!我們吃進這股能量，在自己的週圍築牆，把自己關在裡面。因為同性相吸，我們應該像天使，才能與天使合作。
就像世界的金錢，若我們有靈性功德在我們的帳戶，他會倍增。我們的功德越多，賺的利息越多。每一件事都有個價格，就像我們的世界，我們協商想要的東西。和平甚至也需要協商，我們必須賺和平，因為我們破壞和平。數十年來，我們掀起、參予或煽動戰端，破壞和平的氣氛。和平的價格很高，我自己捐出我所有的靈性功德，仍然短缺無數功德點，你們所有人請茹純素，請幫助我。藉著守道德、善良來幫助我。這樣氣氛會更適合和平。
編號：917 第一屆中東素食大會 視訊會議 / 美國加州洛杉磯 2010.12.07 詳細介紹
阿富汗與以色列的和平，需要無數功德的代價。我呼籲人類覺醒，請覺醒，請過你該有的生活。你是上帝的子女，你是未來佛，我們必須以符合王族的身份生活。請吃素，那會讓你賺夠功德來幫助整個世界，恢復地球上的和平。若你有道德，所有事情會變有道德。
任何人從今天開始提倡有機純素，不論是政府或官員決定核准純素飲食的解決之道，只是核准而已，天啊~他會賺屬不清的靈性功德。我們需要許多功德才能回天堂，任何人核准這方案，僅一次就好，在他離開這世界後，就已足夠他飛回天堂。任何人確實實施這方案，天堂會賜予他們同樣多的靈性功德。
如果你每天賺像100點的靈性功德，然後，海豚或鯨魚會給你40點以上甚至50點以上。或你家的狗會給你8點加到你原本賺的之上。你賺越多，它就會越增值。你生活中的鳥也會給你靈性點數。小小的鳥，甚至虎皮鸚鵡，會給你4點。這世界上的萬物，無論有形無形都在幫助我們，整天加持我們。動物總是無條件地加持我們。他們不斷地給......無論我們如何對待他們，他們總是加持我們。
編號：916 新年新希望：如何更接近上帝 視訊會議 / 美國加州洛杉磯 2011.01.01 詳細介紹
全宇宙都加持我們，我們不應該浪費這個加持力。我還有一個祕訣，大家可以嘗試，當你覺得壓力很大，記得的時候，就深呼吸吸氣，想像你吸進四週來自上帝最好最高的加持力，然後呼出來，把這神聖的加持力帶給四週跟世界。大家隨時記得的時候，就可以這樣深呼吸，一會兒後就會比較好，思考比較清晰，變成更加柔和的人，內邊更滿足。吸進全宇宙中最好，呼出、散播加持力和肯定力量到四週跟全世界，吸進最好的，呼出加持力。
當然不可以吃肉。要吃純素！（Yeah.）這樣就會有幫助。因為，如果你是純素者，那麼你會獲得更多加持力，因為你提升自己到一個更高的等級。所以會獲得更高的加持力。
動物很感恩，即使他們沒有在你身邊，離你很遠，但只要你請他們加持，他們就會把加持力送過來給你。要不是大自然跟動物的愛力，包括樹木、植物和海洋和河川，我們早已就化為灰燼了，沒有他們的愛和幫助，我們早就消失殆盡了。所以我們要感謝周圍一切，他們無條件、默默地犧牲自己來幫助我們。我總是很感激。他們為我們爭取更多時間，讓我們維持平衡。我希望大家都體認到我們很幸運並且心存感恩。
編號：900 功德的真相：得與失 電話會議 / 美國加州洛杉磯 2010.07.07 詳細介紹
清海無上師在以下這段開示中，舉例說明拯救動物能獲得很多靈性功德：
我們善待任何動物-拯救他們，照顧他們，在他們需要時幫助他們，那樣會賺很多功德，不僅這一輩子。現在，救援的動物或禽鳥，能賺約20萬到90萬點。 如果你拯救動物，提供醫療費用等等，不過沒有養，只是救援，您將獲得5萬至80萬點。
養一隻吃素的狗，協助照顧一切，你將獲得4,000至6,000點;養一隻吃素的鳥，能賺3千到一萬點;像住在這裡的侍者，幫助餵鳥或照顧鳥兒也能賺功德，就算不是你的鳥，只是幫忙照顧我的鳥，將獲得2000至3000點，
一般素食餐館，每年賺5000點。耕種一英畝田的有機農夫，一年賺3萬點。
The Greenest Heroes Gala
December 5, 2010 – Cancún, Mexico
許多星球都不如地球美麗，我老實告訴您，地球很美麗。有些星球靈性較發展或科技較發達，卻並非全都像地球這麼美。他們有些會羨慕地球，我們習以為常的很多東西，如蘋果樹和杏子，他們都很喜歡，因為他們的星球沒有。請珍惜我們的家園並努力拯救它。我們可以拯救想拯救的一切，因為我們有力量，我們都有力量這麼做。我們都聽說人身寶貴。佛說，一隻烏龜從海底游到海面並遇到有個小洞的浮木經過，都比出生為人更容易。但你只是聽說，卻不了解有多寶貝。我以數學解釋，您就知道多寶貴。天堂以點數分類眾生。人身非常的寶貴，精確地說，要有9.2億萬兆的靈性點數才能獲得人身。在以9.2億萬兆點生而為人之後，還需要20億萬兆點才能活到100歲。在全宇宙看來，您真的萬分寶貴!您和我坐在這裡時，並不知道從天神們和好人週圍的天使們獲得多大的加持。例如:您不殺生、不偷盜、不妄語、不邪淫、不碰毒品和酒等麻醉物品，而且生活保持如此，身旁就會有5位天使隨時保護您。謹守越多戒律就擁有越多天使。例如，以一百為比率，天使通常加持您五%，天神也加持您5%，到處都有加持力。如果我們做好事，甚至吃純素，得到的加持就更多。我們打坐得到的也比這些更多，比如沒打坐的人得到5%，打坐的人卻得到15%，為什麼?因為振動力比較高，會接收更高等的加持。因為他們在更高的意識等級，所以等級越高獲得的加持越高等。高等的明師、聖人會加持您五百%，普通的聖人，如印度的和尚，他打坐、吃素，修其它的打坐法門，不一定是我教的法門，就會在不知不覺中以他自己的功德加持您30%。如果明師的等級高於第五界，給徒弟的靈性加持是四千%。甚至連外星球的眾生，每天都加持您十到六十%。然而，不吃純素也不打坐者只能獲得3%加持，因為其他都會被扣點，因為殺生之業抵銷了其他，扣完就只剩下3%，問題就在這裡。我們剝奪自己的優勢，浪費隨處可得的加持。
動物也不斷的加持我們，例如，您的狗每天給您3%的加持，但我的狗給我6或8%的加持，因為他們吃純素，而且我愛他們，他們也愛我。他們不會隨便給加持，對照護者也一樣，如果照護者不愛他們，他們就不給。不吃素的狗給你的加持較少，大概2%。因為他們必須被扣點，並非他們有所保留，而是被扣掉了。我們如果吃動物，功德就會被扣掉去賠償那些動物。一隻中型鳥會給您4%的加持，大型鸚鵡加持更多，有8%。如果您在後院養一隻火雞，那隻火雞會給您5%到10%的加持。例如您今天只賺到100點的靈性點數，他會多給您5或10點，而且每天累計上去，您能想像嗎?您甚麼都不必做，10天就百分之一百了。僅僅養一隻火雞而已。連弱小無助的雞都會給您2到6%，6%或10%，因為您餵他們吃純素，他們會更有加持力。兔子是4到6%，牛會給您7到15%的靈性點數。您的功德越多，動物、天使、天神、聖賢和修行人所給的加持就會倍增。小羊會給您五到十%，馬會給您六到15%，大象會給您40%的靈性功德，海豹會給您13%，山羊會給您5%，狐狸、松鼠、河狸、鴨子、天鵝都會加持您，連鯊魚都會加持您。鵝加持您15%，連大黃蜂都加持您1%，天啊，這麼小的蜜蜂，拜託請照顧蜜蜂。蝴蝶也加持您1%，連蒼蠅都能加持您0.5%。野鳥也會加持您，海鷗加持您8%，連鱷魚都加持您2%，野狗加持您8%，烏龜加持您15%，野貓2到6%，連狐狸都有4%，我們永遠說不完。難怪上帝在聖經中說”我創造所有的動物來幫助你們”。現在了解了吧?
以驚人的數度砍樹，是在傷害我們和地球。樹木有很大的加持力，一顆大小可以雙臂環抱的樹，例如，森林裡的松樹，光是一顆聳立不動每天就加持您15%的靈性點數。您走在花園裡或坐在花園裡打坐時，連那些小植物，都會使您比坐在混擬土的小房間裡，獲得更多的靈性點數。我們如果吃純素，而且一天只吃一餐，會多得40%的靈性點數。假設您賺到100點，如果您吃純素，而且一天只吃一餐就會多賺40點，如果一天吃兩餐就多賺20%。如果您吃純素，一天吃三餐，就多賺10%。一般來說，修觀音法門的人，我是指世界會會員，除了吃純素的加持外，每天打坐會多得30到40%。請感受到這些，才能獲得更多加持，生活才會更安詳，才能會為自己和大家做出更好的決定。情況緊急，我們都必須搶救家園。如果不是為了自己，就算我們有些人，也許不在乎生死了，也要為後代這麼做。想想看，如果地球存活下來，您會拯救幾十億人。您能想像您會賺多少功德嗎?救一隻雞的命可以賺很多功德，救一條人命會賺更多。我知道各位很忙，但請記得從自己開始，要先照顧自己。所以每天省下20、三十分鐘沉靜下來，努力接收我講過的所有的加持。越少吃肉，病痛越少。越多加持就越快樂。試一段時間看看，也許十天、十五天，清醒感覺這種加持，並在壓力太大時或任何時候吸氣，只要吸氣就可以，您會覺得快樂高興，您可以自己證明加持確實存在。如果以誠心持之以恆，就會看到耶穌、佛陀、先知穆罕默德等明師，連地球上的在世明師都會來教導您。我無法一一列出，請嘗試並證明看看。和平需要代價，全世界的意識都提昇，和平就會來臨。所以不要指責某某領袖或某某團體，全世界都同喜同悲。我們全都該被責怪，也全都該被珍愛，全都該被尊重被疼愛，這是我們共有的家園。為了和平也為了地球，我需要大家湊齊點數，請幫忙、分享、打坐、持純素，自然就會付出點數，請幫幫忙!人人都打坐、持純素。請幫幫忙!好嗎?不僅幫助自己，更幫助世界!

Interview with Supreme Master Ching Hai by Radio Formula QR 92.3 FM
Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico – November 22, 2010
We need to rethink our lifestyle. We have to rethink the whole planet species and survival, not just for our enjoyment day to day or momentarily. We have to think very unselfishly just to be vegan is very simple: that saves all the lives on the planet – save the animals, save the environment and save the world for our children’s future.
Interview with Supreme Master Ching Hai By Encadena TV,
Quintana Roo, Mexico December 9, 2010
We are the children of Heaven. If we want something, we have to show the sign that we want that. Now, if we want peace, we want benevolence, we want love, blessing from Heaven, we have to start showing that, by action. We have to love to each other. We have to be benevolent to each other. We have to be benevolent to all. Then Heaven will say, “Ah! My children want that!” Then that will come. But we cannot just sit and pray peace and benevolence, when our actions are in the opposite direction. This violence and killing of human and animals are the sure sign that we don't want love, that we don't want compassion, that we don't want peace.
It's the law of the universe, that if we kill or if we harm something, we have to share our spiritual merit with that. So how many animals we eat, we share all our spiritual bank account with that animals, and then we’re depleted, we get poorer and poorer spiritually, poorer. And if you don't have spiritual merit enough, then you have to pay with your health, your luck, or your family members’ peace. And then larger, we pay with peace in the world, we have to pay the price for having no peace.
By killing animals to eat, we’re killing our planet. And then we all become murderers. So I want everyone to become heroes. Save the planet, stop eating the animals.

If people turned to veganism this time, it’s because to save the planet. That means to save lives, not only animals’ lives, but the Earth’s life and the humans’ lives, billions of us. In this case, their merit is immense. So even if they don’t study with me, it’s okay with me. If they save the world, they save millions of lives through their effort, then they will be saved also – their soul.
Teleconference with Supreme Master Ching Hai and Supreme Master Television staff
“The Extraordinary Love and Immeasurable Wisdom of a Living Master”
Los Angeles, CA, USA - August 1, 2010
The majority of people are ready for a higher leap into higher dimension, higher consciousness, higher style of living. The people have to decide to change for themselves. For example, if they change to the vegan diet, then even if they’re bad, the leader will change. Or he will be replaced. People must think in the right way and listen to themselves because, in a way, everyone is a “country,” everyone is a “kingdom.” If everyone decides to go in the righteous direction, then the energy of the whole world will change. And no matter how bad the leader is, he will change.
Being vegetarian, it helps; it lessens our aggressiveness and our blindness, lessens these lower qualities. Then this Loving Quality will come. The more we are in tune with the Divine and the longer the time we are vegetarian, the more we become more sensitive and more connected with all beings in the world – not just animals, but even with trees. I told you some time before that trees even report to me, and tell me that there’s some danger for me. Even the trees and the plants will talk to you when necessary, and then you will feel their love and you will appreciate their beauty more, like you have never seen them before. Suddenly you feel the trees are so beautiful, or the animals are so lovely, lovely.
Lecture by Supreme Master Ching Hai Climate Change Village
December 11, 2010 - Cancún, Mexico
The Earth gives us so much. At least 15 to 50% of spiritual power. The air you breathe, just breathing it in, the air it bless you 15%. The trees give us up to 10% power, spiritual account points.
Angels are real. Gods and Goddesses are real. The purer you are, the more angels protection. God does listen. The angels do listen. But we push them away with our heavy energy. And we cannot hear well, because of our heavy energy, killing energy. Even if we don’t kill, but we eat, it’s indirect killing. And before the animals die, they suffer, they lament, so when we take in this energy, we build walls around us. We chain us. Like attracts like. We should be angel-like in order to have the cooperation of the angels.
Videoconference with Supreme Master Ching Hai
December 7, 2010 - Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Just like financial merit in this world, if we have spiritual merits points in our bank account, it keep multiply, multiply. And the more we have, the more interest rate we earn.
Everything has a price. Just like in our world, we have negotiation, for anything we want, peace also even need negotiations, as you know that. We have to earn peace because we have damaged peace. We have damaged the atmosphere of peace by creating, participating or inciting wars over these decades. The price of peace is very high. I myself gave everything that I have, spiritually points, spiritual points, but I’m still a couple of zillion short. And all of you, out there, please help me by being vegan, by being virtuous, by being benevolent, so that the atmosphere will be more suitable for peace. The peace a size of Afghanistan and Israel costs zillions of zillions of spiritual point to ease. And I call upon all humanity to wake up. Please wake up. Please live the way you are intended to live. You are the children of God. You are the future, the children of the Buddha. We must live befittingly as the royal members. Please be veg. That’s earn you merit enough to help the whole world and to restore peace on the planet. If you are virtuous, everything will become virtuous.
Suppose you promote organic plant-based food, now, the government, whoever decided to approve this plant-based diet solution, just approve it only, he will earn - my God - thousands of zillions of spiritual merit points. And we need a lot of points to go back to Heaven. Whoever approves this even just one time, it’s enough for him to fly to Heaven already, after he leaves this world. And whoever makes sure that it carries out, will obtain the same spiritual merits points that Heaven will bestow upon.
If you earn every day like 100 points of spiritual merit, then, the dolphin or the whales will give you 40 points more or 50 points more even. Or the dogs in your house will give you 8 points more on top of whatever you earn. And the more you earn, the more it multiplies. And the birds in your life will give you also spiritual points. That little bird there, budgies even, give you 4 points. Everything in this world you see or not see are helping us, blessing us all day long. And the animals are always blessing us unconditionally. They give and give and give and give… whatever we treat them, they give us blessing all the time.
Supreme Master Ching Hai’s videoconference with Supreme Master Television staff
January 1, 2011 – Los Angeles, California, USA
All the whole universe are blessing us, and we should not waste this blessing. And I have another tip that they can try, like they can try to breathe in, when they feel stressed or when they remember, just breathe in and thinking or imagine or aware that they breathe in the best, the highest blessing from all around them and from the divinity, and then, breathe out to bring that divinity and blessing into the surrounding and the world. They can try that anytime they’re free or remember. And after a while, maybe they become better, they think clearer, and become more gentle person, more worthwhile within themselves. Breathe in all the best from the universe, and breathe out to spread that blessing and positive power around them, and into the world. In, the best, out, the blessing.
And of course, of course, eat no meat. Vegan! (Yeah.) Then it helps. Because, if you’re vegan, then you have higher percentage of blessing, because you elevate yourself into a higher dimension. And then you’ll get higher blessing, more power.
Animals are very gracious. Even if they’re not around you, they are far away from you, but if you request their blessing, they will be sending it your way.
If there have not been the animals' love, or the nature's love, like even trees and plants and oceans and rivers, we would have been annihilated long time already, we would have been disappeared long time without their love and their help. So we have to be grateful for all around us who has been helping us unconditionally, quietly, with all the sacrifice that they made. I'm always grateful. They are keeping us to buy time, they are keeping us in balance. I hope everyone be aware of our fortune and be grateful.
Teleconference with Supreme Master Ching Hai and Supreme Master Television staff
“The Truth about Merits: How to Gain or Lose Them”
Los Angeles, CA, USA – July 7, 2010
VOICE: Supreme Master Ching Hai has said that numerous spiritual points are earned for rescuing animals, mentioning the following as some examples:
If we are kind to any animals – rescue them or take care of them or somehow help them in their troubled time – then we will have earned a lot of merit, not just this lifetime, but in the future lifetime. Now, rescue animals or birds, you gain about 200,000 to 900,000 points. If you rescue animals, providing medical costs and all that, but not raising, just rescue, you earn 50,000 to 800,000 points.
Raise one veg dog, take care overall with assistance, you will gain 4,000 to to 6,000 point; raise one bird, with veggie, gain 3,000 to 10,000; help feed or care for birds, like live-in assistant or helper, you will gain yourself, even if it’s not your bird; you just help my bird, for example – you will gain 2,000 to 3,000 points.
Normal vegetarian restaurants, they gain 5,000 per year. One acre of organic vegetarian farming, gain 30,000 points per year.
The Greenest Heroes Gala
December 5, 2010 – Cancún, Mexico
Many planets are not as beautiful as this. I want to tell you the truth. This is beautiful. Some planets are more spiritually developed, or more technologically developed, but not all of them as beautiful as this. And even some of them envy our planet. Many things we take for granted, for example, apple trees, apricot fruits, they love because they don’t have them there. Please appreciate our home. Appreciate our home and try to save it. We can save all that we wanted to save because we have the power. All of us, all of us have the power to do that.
We all heard that human’s life is precious. Buddha says that it’s easier for a turtle to go all the way from the bottom of the ocean up to the surface and meet one random little piece of wood that’s passing by with a little hole in it - it’s easier than to become a human, means to have a human birth. But you heard like that, but you don’t know how precious it is. I am going to put it here mathematically, so you know how many. Heaven does have points to classify who is who. Now we humans are very, very precious. I put it precisely - 9.2 zillions of zillions spiritual points to get a human body. After the 9.2 zillions to be born as human, you need twenty zillions of a zillion to live a full 100 years. You are really precious in the eyes of the whole universe.
As you and I are sitting here, you are not aware of so much blessing you have from the deities of the Heaven, from the angels that surrounding the good people. For example, you don’t kill, you don’t steal, you don’t tell lie, you don’t have extramarital relationship, you don’t take intoxicants, like drug, alcohol, etc., you keep your life straight like this, you have five angels always around you to protect you. The more discipline you keep, the more angels you have. For example, like 100% is the scale, then the angels normally would bless you 5%. The deities will bless you 5%. All this blessing, all over.
If we don’t do anything wrong and if we even eat vegan, we get more from that. If we meditate, we get even more than this. For example, one person who doesn’t meditate gets 5%, but the meditate person gets like 15%. Why? Because the vibration is higher, and then it meets with more level of higher blessing. Because they are on the higher level of consciousness. So the higher we go, the higher blessing we get.
A high level master, a saint, for example, would bless you 500%. A normal saint who, for example, a monk in India, he meditates, he eats vegetarian, he meditates on any other method, it doesn’t have to be my method, he would even bless you 30% by his own merit, automatically. If the Master is higher than the Fifth level, would bless the disciple like 4,000% spiritual blessing. Even UFO people, extraterrestrial, they bless you from 10-60% every day.
But the thing is, the people who are not vegan and who are not meditating, they get only 3% out of it. Because everything else has to deduct, deduct for animal karma, bad retribution, deduct for everything else and 3% left. That is the problem. We deprive ourselves of the benefit of so many blessings that’s all over us.
Now, the animals bless us no end. For example, your dog will bless you 3% every day. But my dogs bless me 6% or 8%, because they are vegan and I love them, and they respond to love. They don’t just give to anybody, not even their owner. If the owner doesn’t love them, they don’t give. Even non-vegetarian dog, they bless you, less like 2%. Now, because they have to be deducted, that’s all. It’s not like they keep it, but deduction. If we eat animal, our merits have to be deducted and given to that animals.
A medium bird will bless you 4%. A parrot, for example, big parrot, blesses you even more, 8%. A turkey, if you are with them, if you raise them in your yard, he or she will bless you 5-10%. For example, today you earn only 100 spiritual points by something, he will give you 5 more, or 10 more, to add on top, every day like that, can you imagine? Ten days, then you have 100% without doing anything. Just to keep an animal, a turkey. A chicken even, so small and helpless, blesses you 2-6%, 6% or 10%, because you give them vegan, then they have more power to bless you.
A rabbit, from 4-6%. A cow will bless you 7-15% of spiritual points. The more merits you have, the multiplied of the blessing from the animals and angels and deities and saints and sages and spiritual practitioners. The lamb would give you 5-10%. A horse will give you 6-15%. An elephant will give you 40%of spiritual merit. A seal would give you 13%. A goat would give you 5%.
Even foxes bless you. Squirrels bless you, beavers bless you, ducks bless you, swans bless you, even shark bless you. Geese bless you 15%. Even the bumble bee blesses you 1%. My God, so small, the bee! Little one! Please take care of the bees. Even a butterfly blesses you 1%. Even a fly blesses you 0.5%. Wild birds bless you. Seagulls bless you 8%. Crocodiles even bless you 2%. A wild hog blesses you 8%. Turtles bless you 15%. A wild cat 2-6%. A fox even 4%. Okay, we can go on forever. No wonder, the Lord in the Bible says that, “I created all the animals to be your helpers”. Now we understand, hm?
Cutting trees at the rate of incredible speed harms us, harms our planet. Trees are also a source of great blessing. A tree about this size, that you could put the arm around it, for example, the pine tree in the forest, one tree alone blesses you 15% spiritual points daily, by just being there. And even the small plants, when you walk in the garden, or you sit in the garden, you meditate, you have more spiritual points than sitting on concrete in a small room somewhere.
If we are vegan, for example, and eat only one meal a day, then we get like 40% more spiritual points. Suppose you earn 100 points, if you are a vegan and eat one meal a day, you earn 40 spiritual points more. And if you eat twice a day, two times a day, you earn 20% more. If you eat three times a day, vegan, you earn 10% more.
For an average Quan Yin practitioner, means our Association member who meditates every day, you have 30-40% more extra, apart from vegan meal and all that.
Please, be conscious, so that you get more blessing, so that you can live your life more in peace and make a better decision for you and for all of us, for everyone.
It’s urgent situation. We all have to rescue our home. If it’s not for you, because some of us maybe don’t care about life and death anyway, but for the future generation. Imagine how many billions you rescue if the planet is still alive. Can you imagine how much merit you earn? If you save a life of a chicken, you earn a lot of merit. If you save a life of humans, even more so.
I know you’re very busy, busy, but please remember, you are the number one person. You have to first take care of yourself. So you have to save time, 20, 30 minutes a day, to quiet down, to try to assimilate all the blessing that I have told you about. The less meat, the less disease, the more blessing, more happiness. You try it for a while, maybe 10 days, 15 days, with this conscious feeling of blessing and breathing in whenever you feel too stressed, and anytime, you just breathe. You will feel elated. You can prove it to yourself that blessing really exists. And if you go on with it and sincerely, you will see vision of Jesus, Buddha, or Prophet Muhammad, whoever the master, or even the present master somewhere in this planet, will come and teach you more than my words can tell. Please try. Prove it! Prove it!
Peace comes with price. Peace comes when we elevate all the whole world consciousness. So, don’t point finger at this and that leader or this and that group. The whole world shares happiness and sorrow all together. I mean we are all to be blamed and we are all to be cherished, we are all to be respected, and we are all to be loved. We all share this home together. Please I need all of your points put together for peace sake and for the planet’s sake. Please help. Share. Meditate, vegan, and automatically we’ll give. Please help! Everybody meditate, vegan, please help! Okay? Not just help yourself, help the world!

氣候變遷國際會議 －清海無上師與好萊塢名人
 | 編號：841（3片裝） |
字幕：英、簡體中文、正體中文、悠樂、韓、日、印尼、泰、印度、旁遮普、希伯來、波斯、阿拉伯、土耳其、俄、波蘭、羅馬尼亞、保加利亞、匈牙利、德、法、義大利、西班牙、葡萄牙、芬蘭（25種） |
簡介/精彩開示
 | 一場引人注目、在好萊塢舉辦的研討會，透過無上師電視台即時傳送給全球觀眾。多位卓越的科學家、政治家、媒體、好萊塢電影製片以及跨信仰團體領袖齊聚一堂，主講者更是眾星雲集，包括國際知名作家霍華‧李曼、自然醫學與營養專家葛比爾‧柯森斯博士和威爾‧塔托博士，共同研討以往鮮少被提及的議題─氣候變遷與人類日常飲食的關聯。 美麗、動人心弦的拉科塔族祈禱吟頌為研討會揭開序幕，接著是前聯合國環境規劃署署長阿夏克‧寇斯拉博士鏗鏘有力的演說。主持人同時也是艾美獎得獎記者珍‧米契爾，則活力十足帶動全場氣氛。研討會特別嘉賓─全球知名的人道主義家─清海無上師更與大眾分享她的智慧與見解，全場陶醉於慈愛與靈性啟發的氛圍。與會觀眾得知素食對於遏止全球暖化有如此多正面影響，無不深受感動，更有許多人誓言不再吃肉！ |
| 八成的全球暖化肇因於肉食，所以不吃肉改吃素，將能解決八成的全球暖化，其他兩成沒問題…因為只是兩成汙染，只是兩成破壞，地球能夠為我們處理。所以只要傳播素食，傳播素食利益的資訊，那是我們對地球和孩子所能做的最好的事情。 |
內容摘要
 | 研討會分別從科學事實、靈性觀點及媒體轉變的角色等三組不同主題，來探討氣候危機。所得的結論一致認為：遏止全球暖化、解決氣候危機，唯一、最好、最快、最有效的方法就是茹素。 |
| 默默低調茹素的態度，在全球暖化的時刻是否正確？有必要宣揚、勸人改吃素嗎？傳播純素食的訊息，為什麼是最慈悲神聖而高雅的事，是地球的英雄？ |
| 請看人稱「瘋狂牛仔」的霍華．李曼，為何從畜牧大亨轉型為有機農耕？請聽史上第一位勇於披露畜牧業最可怕內幕的人，及聞名國際大力宣揚純素的鬥士，是如何堅守對的信念，對抗肉食的大環境。 |
| 美國所生產的穀物，其中80％都是餵給牲口吃的；需要16磅穀物才能生產一磅肉，這16磅穀物足以餵飽32位饑民。請想像一下，當你吃一個漢堡時，有45至50人拿著空碗，飢餓地站著圍繞你。 |
| 純素與奶素有何不同？為什麼經營牧場的主人會說：現今的奶其實是「液體的肉」？ |
| 師父建議政府補貼農夫種植蔬菜的理念與做法為何？師父表示：科學家已證實，有機農耕有益於健康與生態…，與其用美國納稅人的稅金來補貼因肉類感染病菌等的損失金額，還不如補貼農夫進行有機農耕。 |
| 當大家驚慌於英國查爾斯王子所說：「十八個月之後，我們將超越無法挽回的極限點」時，師父適時鼓勵我們：「由於很多人正加入我們吃素的行列，所以我們多爭取了些時間，挽救地球的極限點已延長至三年又四個月」的令人振奮的好消息。 |
| 針對以肉食為主的民眾如何循序漸進地放棄肉食、回歸健康的生活方式，「創意公民」總裁貝迪諾的網站提供逐步改採吃素的方式，使用每個人都能做到的創意方法，鼓勵大家改採植物性飲食。 |
| 師父表示：在美國地區，要有效遏止全球暖化，需要七成美國人茹素…。希望我們能在三年四個月前，有七成人口茹素。越多人開始茹素，我們就有越多時間改善全球暖化，素食也會終止世界飢荒。 |
| 該如何破除人們事不關己的心態，從不願正視地球暖化問題轉而願意茹素？具有轉變力量的媒體，又該如何有效地向世人傳播此訊息，避免全球災難發生？ |
| 當前危機的嚴重程度及影響範圍，到底有多嚴重？請看科學家提出的數據、實證及引證的網站。 |
| 為什麼胎兒、嬰兒，一出生就生病、得病或有遺傳性疾病？根據科學和醫學證明：多數疾病源自肉食，只要採行健康素食就能避免生病。父母如果不健康，小孩生出來也被連累。 |
| 史上第一次戰爭是怎樣發生的？為什麼人們將發動戰爭視為賺錢的好方法？發動戰爭的結果不僅人類被階級化、動物被奴役虐待，道德也從此淪喪。 |
| 醫界臨床報告：純素是預防糖尿病的主要方式，肉食增加糖尿病罹患率三點八到四倍；現場貴賓更以自身經驗，證實吃純素可使糖尿病患的血糖獲得控制。 |
| 師父說：「素食幾乎能馬上遏止全球暖化」，並保證只要大家都吃素，大約兩三個月，「冰會重新凝結，地球會再涼下來，生命將更富足，戰爭停止」，人們對待彼此的方式會截然不同。 |

2010.11.03領袖確保我們的未來︰因應氣候變遷的步驟與優先順序
 | 編號：915（3片裝） |
字幕：英、簡體中文、正體中文、悠樂、韓、日、蒙古、印尼、泰、印度、旁遮普、希伯來、波斯、阿拉伯、土耳其、俄、波蘭、羅馬尼亞、匈牙利、德、法、義、西、葡、荷蘭、烏都 (26種) |
大家好！謹向您內邊的上帝致上最高的敬意：閣下、大英聯合王國重要的決策人士，以及貴賓、各位勇敢的女士先生們，我非常榮幸能與備受敬重的諸位，一同參加這場迫切的會議。
| |
|
正如各位明瞭的，地球上的所有生物正面臨著許多全球性的危機。專家經常強調，當前最嚴重也最急迫的6大威脅，就是氣候變遷、缺水、缺糧、森林濫伐、海洋崩解和生物多樣性喪失。單是每一種威脅就足以造成巨大的破壞，成為所謂的「文明毀滅者」，若加在一起，更會導致全球瓦解，讓地球所有的生物滅絕。
我跟你們許多人一樣，也不斷問自己，要如何才能停止繼續往這個災難的方向前進，但是我怕現在實際的情況已經太緊急了。科學家說，世界上約有8成人口的水源安全受到威脅，因為河系乾涸或被污染，加上從南美到喜馬拉雅山的冰河不斷退縮，以及地下水水位逐年降低。2009年，飢民的人數首次超過10億人，而天災又進一步威脅更多人的糧食安全。每年，被燒光的熱帶森林有紐約州那麼大，所釋放的二氧化碳佔全世界的17%，比所有交通運輸工具的總碳排量還多。有超過70%的魚類已經完全枯竭，而剩下的恐怕也會在幾十年內消失。
|
聯合國最近一項研究發現，目前動、植物消失的速度，是自然情況下絕種速度的1,000倍，而長養生命的重要生態系統，可能很快就會遭受不可逆轉的破壞。而且沒錯，我們還有全球暖化的問題。就算實施最嚴格的溫室氣體排放限制，地球的氣溫在幾十年內仍將上升攝氏3.5度，這將導致亞馬遜雨林消失殆盡、強大颶風重創沿海城市、大量甲烷不斷從永凍層釋出，最終導致大滅絕。我們已經看到災難變得更頻繁、更長、更致命了，因此，如果不儘快遏止這6大危機，我們恐將失去一切，全部都沒了！所以請考慮清楚，現在真正性命交關的是什麼？真正最重要的當務之急是什麼？不是政治聲譽或經濟，而是人類、動物、植物、樹木等地球上所有眾生，他們活生生的生命。
如今，雖然眼前的情況令人惶恐不安，但可敬的研究人員已確認了所有這些問題的主因，甚至也有解決的辦法。聯合國糧食及農業組織（Food and Agriculture Organization，簡稱FAO）於2006年指出：「無論從地方或全球的角度而言，畜牧業都是造成最嚴重環境問題的3大主因之一」，包括生物多樣性喪失、森林濫伐、土壤退化、污染、氣候變遷、漁業過度捕撈和其他問題等等。因此，也難怪2010年6月聯合國環境規劃署（United Nations Environment Programme）與歐盟執行委員會（European Commission）共同發表的一份報告總結：唯有全球大規模改變飲食，遠離所有動物產品，才能大幅減少對環境的衝擊。
現在，讓我們逐一探討每個「文明毀滅者」，看看何以當中每一項都是肉食所致。也許以後當你再看到肉時，想法會有所改變。
候變遷造成文明的毀滅，其主因就是畜牧業。我想各位已經知道，聯合國糧農組織2006年的報告《牲畜的巨大陰影》（Livestock's Long Shadow）以及2009年的相關研究發現：人為所造成的溫室氣體排放，有51%以上是來自畜牧業及其副產品。我知道其實是80%或更多。美國國家科學院（National Academy of Sciences）與德國波茨坦氣候影響研究所（Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research）最新公佈的資料也指出，畜牧業對全球暖化影響甚鉅。 再者，畜牧生產佔用了整整70%的所有農地，以及地表將近三分之一的所有土地。我們現在的情況已經到了讓氣候科學家憂心忡忡的地步，以致他們甚至出此下策，要用高風險的地質工程大幅改變自然環境。其實我們只要讓這些土地回歸自然，像是森林和草原，它們很快就會吸收大量的碳排。 還要注意一點：動物養殖業是人為甲烷與氧化亞氮排放的最大來源，這兩種溫室氣體的威力，分別是二氧化碳的72倍和300倍。而甲烷造成的溫室效應雖然比二氧化碳強很多，但它消失的速度卻比二氧化碳快，大約只有12年，反之，二氧化碳則需幾百年。因此，終止畜牧生產會讓地球很快降溫，而且迫切需要這麼做，因為我們越來越接近氣候的臨界點了！ 此外，誠如美國羅代爾研究所（Rodale Institute）的估測，如果世界的可耕地都採用有機耕作，那麼大氣中40%的二氧化碳將會自動被土壤吸收掉。德國的一項研究也發現，採行有機純素飲食，可以減少高達94%飲食所造成的溫室氣體排放。哇！想想看！ 現在概略提一下經濟成本。根據荷蘭科學家的估算，改採健康的純素飲食，這種強有力的轉變，不但可以大幅減少全球暖化，還能節省2050年前的抗暖化費用達80%。
|
畜牧業不僅是水污染的主因，也耗費大量珍貴的水資源。例如，生產1公斤牛肉需要高達20萬公升的水，而生產1公斤大豆所需的水只是它的一小部分，只要2,000公升。換句話說，吃4個漢堡所耗費的水，可以讓人每天洗澡洗1年。哇！再想一想吧！ 當11億人尚且無法取得安全的水，每天有6,000名兒童因飲用污染的水而死亡，讓我們良心愧疚不安之際，卻有約1,000兆公升的淨水被浪費在動物養殖業上。難道我們真的要搶奪孩子寶貴的資源，諸如水等，只為了一塊有毒、佈滿病菌且會致病，但又容易找到替代品的肉？各位女士先生，我相信大家都同意，這是無法接受的！ |
為因應人口增加的需求，有越來越多科學家和其他專家肯定，減少畜牧業是合邏輯又深具功效的措施，因為如此一來，糧食就可以直接供人食用。今天世界有將近一半的穀糧被用來餵養動物，而諷刺的是，每年將近1,100萬餓死的孩童中，大多數都住在那些種植飼料作物的國家。如果將那些作物直接供人食用，不僅可以餵飽全世界的人，而且還綽綽有餘！ |
英國的史登爵士（Lord Stern of Brentford）是《史登報告：氣候變遷對經濟的衝擊》（Stern Review on the Economics of Climate Change）的主要作者。他指出，避免森林濫伐是控制溫室氣體排放最經濟的作法。而從1970年至今，「地球的肺」亞馬遜雨林被砍除的面積，有91%直接或間接與養牛有關。事實上，聯合國糧農組織指出，畜牧業是全球森林濫伐的主因。 |
這個問題的肇因也是動物性產品。聯合國最近的報告指出，繼續捕撈可能會使所有海洋生物在未來幾十年內枯竭。但問題不只是吃魚，還包括吃肉，因為每年有多達50%被殺的魚，或是數千萬噸的海洋生物，是拿去餵養牲畜，而不是供人食用！豬和雞吃的海產食物，是全美國人所吃的6倍、是日本人所吃的2倍。想想看！所以如果我們摒棄魚、蛋、肉和奶等所有動物性產品，就可以拯救海洋、拯救氣候，以及遏止生物多樣性喪失，接下來我們將提到這一點。 |
畜牧業是野生物種以驚人速度減少的主因。在2010年10月的一項研究中，荷蘭研究人員發現，成立自然保護區並不足以遏止這些動植物快速滅絕；最有效的措施之一，是改採無動物成份的蔬食。
|
現在，有人可能會問：我們這個世界真的能終止全球的肉品業，大家都吃純素嗎？事實告訴我們：「是的，可以！」人類求生存的直覺告訴我們必須這麼做！
誠如美國備受尊崇的經濟學家傑瑞米‧雷夫金（Jeremy Rifkin）在2002年所寫的：「世界上比較富有的消費者喜歡吃全球食物鏈最頂端的食物，而讓其他同胞挨餓。全球早就應該討論如何才能讓人類改採豐富多樣又富含蛋白質的純素飲食。」
美國前副總統高爾（Al Gore）與太空總署戈達德太空研究所（NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies）主任詹姆士‧韓森博士（James Hansen）都提到：停止吃肉是個人減少碳足跡所能做的「最有效的事」。氣候專家史登爵士也公開指出：「吃素比較好。」世界銀行前任顧問羅伯特‧古德蘭博士（Robert Goodland）說素食這種「進化的飲食」，是「被忽略的氣候解決方案」。而聯合國跨政府氣候變遷小組（Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change）主席帕卓里博士（Rajendra Pachauri）則說：「大家改採素食勢在必行，如果我們想要有機會避免大災難的話。從立即行動而言……少吃肉無疑是最可望成功的方法。」
的確，食品業、消費者和政府的新契機一片光明，有很多加入純素食品業成功的例子，也有許多畜牧業者轉而從事有機純素耕作成功的案例。研究也告訴我們，替代動物性產品的素食不僅有益健康，也消耗比較少的石化燃料，創造更多永續工作，而且越來越受歡迎，因為品質很好又很美味。
分析家也說，肉和乳製品的價格將不可避免地大幅上揚，因為氣候風險、石油危機與極高的環境成本，依賴政府補貼才能存續的畜牧業正逐漸式微。如今我們也知道，養殖業的員工甚至在身體、情緒、心理與精神狀態上，都遭受某些最痛苦的折磨。現在是我們進化到更美好的社會、過更高雅生活的時候了。政府可以用那些津貼來造福人民、支持能拯救地球的有機純素農耕，並鼓勵健康、永續且能有效利用資源的食品業。
世界自然基金會（World Wildlife Fund）的研究人員指出，以我們目前的消費速度來計算，我們將會需要第2個地球。如果世界各國政府停止補貼畜牧業和漁業，而明智地改支持有機純素食品生產，就能省下80%的抗暖化費用、省下水污染所付出的龐大代價，並省下1兆美元因肉食相關疾病所產生的醫療成本，如癌症、心臟病、糖尿病、肥胖症、食物中毒等，不勝枚舉。
 |
現在，如果我們改採純素飲食，每年就能避免全球兩千多萬人死於肉食的相關疾病，親人不再因此受苦、早夭，自己和他人也不再承受這方面的痛苦；我們將能自然而然地享有更長壽、更健康、更美好和更快樂的生活。就算沒有那些「文明毀滅者」威脅地球的存續，有機純素飲食也會大幅改善我們的生活品質、提昇我們的靈性，還能遏止水和糧食危機，恢復大自然維持生命的系統。而這正好也是最快速、最符合經濟效益，並唯一可行的氣候解決方案，各國都很容易實施。
總而言之，唯有採行有機純素這種解決辦法，我們才能救地球。
各位備受尊崇的女士先生們，我懇請您們和所有的領袖，請幫助我們的世界，請拯救我們的地球。我實在不想失去希望，還有大家的希望，因為人類是有愛心、聰明、有勇氣的，是上帝的兒女。我只能和各位一起衷心祈禱眾志成城，我們攜手努力，就能真正有效地為我們的子孫拯救地球。非常感謝您們的信任和關注。
祝大家永遠明智、有愛心並蒙受上帝的福佑，致上滿滿的愛！

Organic Vegan Diet:
The Solution to Earth’s “Civilization Busters”
Video message from Supreme Master Ching Hai, “Leaders Preserving Our Future: Pace & Priorities on Climate Change”
London, United Kingdom, November 3, 2010 (Originally in English)
Hallo. My highest salute and most respectful greeting, to the Divine within you: Your Excellencies, distinguished decision makers of the great United Kingdom, and welcome guests, courageous ladies and gentlemen. It is with deep honor that I join your respected company for this urgent meeting.
| |
|
As you are well aware, there are multiple global dangers facing all lives on Earth. Experts often highlight six major threats as the most pressing and urgent of our time, namely: climate change, water shortage, food scarcity, deforestation, ocean collapse, and biodiversity loss. Although each threat on its own might cause enough damage to become a so-called “civilization buster,” their occurrence together would result in a global collapse, and all lives on the planet could be destroyed.
Like many of you, I ask myself, day and night, how we can stop going in this calamitous direction. But I’m afraid the reality now is already too urgent. Scientists say that water security for about 80% of the world’s people is threatened due to drying and polluted river systems, shrinking glaciers from South America to the Himalayas, and groundwater levels that fall lower and lower each year. In 2009, for the first time, the number of people suffering from hunger exceeded 1 billion, while disasters threatened the food security of many more. Each year, tropical forests the size of New York State are burned to the ground, releasing 17% of the world’s total carbon dioxide emissions, more than all transportation combined. Over 70% of our fish species are fully depleted, and the rest could be gone within a few ten years.
|
A recent study by the United Nations found that plants and animals are now disappearing at up to 1,000 times the natural background rate of extinction, with vital life-supporting ecosystems that could soon be irreversibly damaged. And you’re right, we have global warming. Even with strict greenhouse gas emission limits, the Earth’s climate temperature is still expected to rise another 3.5 degrees Celsius within a few decades, which would result in the death of the Amazon rainforest, massive hurricanes smashing coastal cities, vast runaway release of methane from melting permafrost, and ultimately, mass extinctions. Already, we see that disasters have become more frequent, prolonged and deadlier. Thus, if these six factors are not stopped fast, we risk losing everything. I mean everything! So please consider what is really at stake now, what is really our foremost, urgent priority at the present time. It’s not just political reputation or economy. It’s the lives, real lives, of all inhabitants on Earth: humans, animals, plants, trees, etc.
Now, despite the overwhelmingly frightening situation at hand, esteemed researchers have identified one key cause of all these troubles, and there’s even a solution to solve them. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in 2006 stated that: “The livestock sector emerges as one of the top two or three most significant contributors to the most serious environmental problems, at every scale from local to global,” namely, biodiversity loss, deforestation, land degradation, pollution, climate change, overfishing, and others. So, it is not surprising that in June 2010, a report released by the United Nations Environment Programme and the European Commission concluded that a substantial reduction of [environmental] impacts would only be possible with a substantial worldwide change of diet, away from all animal products.
Now, let’s check out one “civilization buster” at a time, to see how each is driven by meat consumption. You may never look at a piece of meat in the same way again.
Climate change is a civilization buster. And its primary cause is: livestock raising. I guess you know already. The UN FAO’s 2006 report, “Livestock’s Long Shadow,” was followed by related research in 2009, which found that livestock animals and their byproducts account for at least 51% of human-caused greenhouse gas emissions. And I know that it is 80% or even more. Newer findings published by the US National Academy of Sciences and Germany’s Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research also point to the livestock industry’s huge impact on global warming. Furthermore, livestock production occupies a full 70% of all agricultural land and nearly one-third of all the planet’s land surface. We have come to the point of climate scientists being now so extremely worried that they are even thinking of resorting to emergency ways to manipulate nature on a large scale through risky geoengineering. But if we simply return these lands to nature again, like forests and grassland, they would easily absorb a lot of emissions in the near future. Please also note that the animal industry is the largest human-made source of methane and nitrous oxide, the greenhouse gases that are 72 times and 300 times more potent, respectively, than CO2. And methane, though being much worse than carbon dioxide, disappears many times faster, in about 12 years as opposed to centuries for CO2. Therefore, eliminating livestock production would cool the planet quickly, which is needed urgently if we think about the climate tipping points that are getting nearer. Moreover, as the Rodale Institute in the USA determined, if the world’s tillable land were organically cultivated, then 40% of the atmospheric CO2 would automatically be absorbed by the soil. Also, one German study found that consuming organic vegan fare could reduce dietary greenhouse gas emissions up to 94%. Wow! Think about that. Now, to briefly mention about financial cost. Dutch scientists have calculated that the powerful change to the healthy vegan diet would not only dramatically reduce global warming, it would also save 80% in climate mitigation costs by 2050. |
Besides being a major water polluter, livestock consumes vast amounts of this precious resource, with as much as 200,000 liters required for each kilogram of beef, whereas only a tiny fraction of that, or 2,000 liters, is needed per kilogram of soybeans, for example. Put another way, eating four hamburgers costs a person the water equivalent of a year’s daily showers. Wow! Think of that again. And while 1.1 billion people don’t have access to safe water, including 6,000 children who die every day from drinking polluted water (and that is on our conscience), some 1 trillion cubic meters of clean water is wasted on raising livestock. Are we really robbing our children of precious resource such as water for merely a poisonous disease-laden, disease-causing but easily replaced piece of meat? I’m sure you all agree, ladies and gentlemen, that this is not acceptable. |
To meet the needs of a growing population, more and more scientists and other experts are affirming the logic and efficiency of reducing livestock so that food can be delivered to people directly. Today’s livestock are bred and fattened on nearly half of the world’s grain supply, while almost 11 million children, most of whom live in those countries where these feed grains are grown, die, ironically, of hunger each year. On the other hand, directly supplied grain could easily feed more than the entire world’s population. |
Lord Stern of Brentford, United Kingdom, lead author of the Stern Review on the Economics of Climate Change, proposed the avoidance of deforestation as the most economic method of managing greenhouse gas emissions. Well, 91% of the cleared Amazonian rainforest since 1970, the lungs of our Earth, can be directly or indirectly attributed to cattle raising. And, in fact, the UN FAO stated that the livestock sector is the major driver of global deforestation. |
The main cause here, again, is animal products. The United Nations recently reported that continued fishing could deplete the oceans of all marine life within just a few decades. But the problem is not only fish consumption. The problem is also meat consumption, because as much as 50% of the fish killed each year, or tens of millions of tons of marine lives, are fed to livestock, not humans. Pigs and chickens consume six times more seafood than the entire American population, and twice as much as the Japanese. Think about that! So if we stop all animal products – fish, egg, meat, and dairy – we will save the oceans, save the climate; and as we find out next, we could halt also biodiversity loss. |
The livestock industry is the leading cause of an alarming decline in wild species. In an October 2010 study, Dutch researchers found that protecting natural areas is not sufficient to stop these fast extinctions of flora and fauna; rather, one of the most effective policies is changing to a no-animal diet, meaning plant-based food. Now, some of us might question: Can our world really eliminate the global meat industry and become all vegan? The facts tell us, “Yes, we can.” And our humanity’s survival instinct tells us we must. As the respected US economist Jeremy Rifkin wrote in 2002, “[The world’s wealthier consumers] favor eating at the highest point on the global food chain while their fellow human beings starve. We are long overdue for a global discussion on how best to promote a diversified, high-protein vegan diet for the human race.” Former US Vice President Al Gore and NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies Director Dr. James Hansen, both referred to eliminating meat as the “single most effective thing” we can do so to reduce our carbon footprint. Climate chief Lord Stern likewise publicly stated that: “A vegetarian diet is better.” Former World Bank advisor, Dr. Robert Goodland, called these “improved diets” the “overlooked climate solution.” And Dr. Rajendra Pachauri, Chair of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, said: “A major shift toward plant-based diets is imperative if we are to have even a chance of preventing catastrophe. In terms of immediacy of action...reducing meat consumption clearly is the most attractive opportunity.” Truly, these new opportunities for the food industry, consumers, and governments are bright. There are many stories of success from people who joined the vegan food industry, as well as farmers who switched from livestock raising to organic vegan farming. Research also tells us that plant-based alternatives to animal products are not only healthy, they use less fossil fuel energy, create more sustainable jobs, and are growing in popularity because of their quality, which also includes good taste.
Analysts also say that meat and dairy prices are set to rise steeply due to high climate risks, “peak oil,” and extreme environmental costs, while the livestock industry, which is heavily dependent on subsidies to survive already, is becoming obsolete. And we know that animal industry workers even suffer also some of the worst physical, emotional, psychological and mental conditions now. It’s high time that we advance to better and nobler ways as a society. And governments could use their subsidies for people’s greatest benefit, by supporting the Earth-saving, organic vegan farming practices and promoting a healthy, sustainable, resource-efficient food industry. The way we are going with our consumption rate, the World Wildlife Fund researchers have said that we’d need a second planet. If world governments stop supporting livestock and fishing, and instead wisely support organic vegan food production, they will save four-fifths of climate mitigation costs, save a lot of water pollution costs, and save health costs of about US$1 trillion due to meat-related diseases like cancer, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, food poisoning, etc., to name just a few. Now we can prevent more than 20 million meat-related deaths worldwide per year, if we turn to the vegan diet. No more suffering for loved ones, no more early separations, no more anguish for ourselves and others; and we will enjoy naturally longer, healthier, lovelier and happier lives. Even without the “civilization busters” threatening our planet’s survival, an organic vegan diet would immensely improve the quality of our lives, spiritually also. It can curb the water and food crises and restore nature’s life-support systems. It also happens to be the most rapid, cost-effective, and the only feasible climate solution, one that every nation can easily implement. |
In sum, only with the organic vegan solution can we still save our planet.
Respected and honorable ladies and gentlemen, I beseech you and all the leaders to please, help our world, please save our planet. I would like very much to not lose my hope, and everyone else’s hope, because humans are caring, are clever, are courageous, and are the children of God. I can only add my heartfelt prayers to yours, that together we will do everything possible and truly effective to save our planet for our children’s sake. Thank you so much for your trust and attentive spirit.
Wishing you forever wise, loving and blessed by the Divine. Love, love.

當我們過著茹純素的生活時，就會發出我們要護生的有力訊息，所以我們就會享有生命，並獲得繼續存活所需的保護。如果個人改吃純素，就能扭轉可能影響自身的災難；如果全世界都吃純素，就能扭轉影響全球的災難。它們會被遏阻，或是減輕而不會造成傷害。地球會開始以驚人的方式自我修復，連科學家都會驚訝。例如，冰層會停止融化並恢復原狀，地球會再現盎然生機，而隨著降雨及氣溫又開始自我調節和恢復平衡，海洋也會復原。你看，我們有力量改變一切，我們有能力控制周遭發生的一切。但我們必須運用這個力量，必須用它來幫助所有眾生，用它來利益地球的所有眾生。
我們的思想、我們的行動必須送出一個訊息給宇宙能量：我們要地球更好、我們要生活更安全、我們要世界得救，那麼宇宙能量就會照著做。不過我們的行動必須配合這個能量才行；想要善報就要行善，想要生命就要護生。我們所產生的好能量可以做到這些，並帶來更多奇蹟。整個世界所造出來的慈悲仁愛的氣氛，能夠為我們今後帶來更多的奇蹟。我知道這聽起來很不可思議，但這是可能的，事實如此。如果我們的生活遵循宇宙法律，就能創造我們所想要的一切，這就是吃純素的力量。因為這代表我們不傷害生命，我們想要生命、想要建設性的力量，而不要毀滅。所以純素飲食就是答案，這是全世界的人都能做到的--吃純素來拯救世界。世界可以變成我們想要的樣子，我們要讓它變成一個純素的世界、慈悲的世界、和平的世界、得救的世界。

Organic Vegan Diet Can Save the Planet
Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, Lomé, Togo Videoconference, May 09, 2009
(Originally in English)
When we live our lives with a vegan diet, we send out a powerful statement that we want life, and so we will beget life, and protection to continue with our life.
If we become vegan as an individual, we can remedy the disasters that otherwise might affect us personally. If the world becomes vegan as a group, we can remedy the disasters that affect us globally. They will be averted, or be minimized and rendered harmless. The planet will begin repairing itself in astonishing ways that would surprise scientists. For example, the ice will stop melting and return to the way it was; green life will appear again, and the oceans will be healed as the rainfall and temperature begin to regulate themselves again to produce restored balance.
You see, we have the energy to change everything; we have the power to dictate what happens around us, but we must use it. We must use it for the sake of all. We must use it for the benefit of every being on this planet.
Our thinking, our actions, have to send out a message to the universal energy that we want a better planet, we want a safer life, and we want a saved world; then the universal energy will do just that. But we have to act in resonance with this energy. If we want good things, then we have to do good.
If we want life, we have to spare lives. So the good energy we create can do these things, and more wonders. The compassionate loving atmosphere that we, as the whole world, generate, can and will do more miracles for us. I know it sounds incredible but it is possible. It is a fact. We can create everything that we want if we live in accordance with the law of the universe. Such is the power of just being vegan. Because that means we spare life, we want life, and we want constructive energy; we don’t want destruction. So vegan is the answer. This is something all citizens of the world can do. Be vegan. Be a world-saver. The world can be what we make it to be, and we will make it a vegan world, a compassionate world, a peaceful world and a saved world.

「純素地球日迎接純素世界」
視訊研討會 2009.06.21
經過百千萬年的歷史，人類已經進化了，我們已有長遠的進展，變化之大可能令我們驚訝。或許更令我們驚訝的是，即便戰爭也不是最可怕的事，還有更可怕的殺手。如果你們允許，我將一一為你們列舉出來；或許也是為了我自己，我們都生活在地球上，禍福與共，因此與你們有關的事，也和我有關。
過去有段時期，人類曾互相殘殺，甚至只為了吃人肉。如今這麼做是犯罪，我們稱為謀殺，殺人是所有罪行中最令人髮指的。不管年齡大小、膚色深淺、基督徒或穆斯林、佛教徒或錫克教徒，在某些地方，殺人者仍必須以一命償一命。即使目前人類被要求提昇至更高等、更有愛心的道德水平，然而現今人們仍殺動物來吃：在不久的將來，人們會把殺害動物也視為一種罪行。有些地方已經如此，最近美國就有1名少年因為連續殺害19隻貓而被審判。
文明社會本應如此。我們反對戰爭，我們群起制止人類麻木不仁地自相殘殺；我們懇求政府制定和平的政策；我們認為謀殺者的行徑未達人的標準，犯下這種滔天大罪的人必須終生監禁，與社會隔離。一套完整精密的司法制度儼然成形：運用龐大的人事與力量，制裁那些奪取他人摯愛至親、令人髮指的殺人罪行。蒐集證據，召集陪審團，由最博學的法官主持，武裝警衛站崗，建造堅固的監獄，警方冒著生命危險捍衛人民生命，學校與家庭也教導道德規範，這一切都是為了要阻止這種惡行發生。我們花費許多時間、精力，並運用許多資源，保護生命到這種地步。
有朝一日，我們也會抗議動物芳鄰遭到殺害。推而廣之，未來我們將譴責任何的殺生行徑，因為殺生是必須遏止的罪行。大多數人都沒有注意到這些無聲無息的殺手，它們每天在我們家中出沒，我會儘量一一指出。這可能使你們驚訝，也可能不會。對有些人而言，這是顯而易見的；但有些人則是生平第1次了解誰是我們真正的敵人。
超級殺手  頭號殺手：肉類 |
肉類或動物產品、所謂的動物性食品。驚訝嗎？不僅如此，肉類可以說殺害了數十億生命。每一年有多達550億的動物被殺害供人食用，相當於全球總人口的8倍，平均每天有一億五千多萬生命被殺害，這還沒把數十億死亡的魚類算在內。人類每年也因食用肉和魚，以及任何相關的動物產品而死亡。每年有近3,300萬人死於與肉食相關的疾病，如心臟病、癌症和其他疾病，相當於每天奪走九萬多人的性命。每天有9萬人因為食用動物產品而喪生！而有人卻無法獲得食物，因為他們所需的穀糧被拿去餵養那些供人類宰殺食用的動物。除了9萬人死於肉食外，每天還有大約2萬5千人活活餓死，肉食間接導致了這2萬5千人餓死。除此之外，每年還有數十萬人因肉食所造成的全球暖化而喪命，另外還有數千萬人因氣候變遷而無家可歸。我們姑且稱他們為氣候難民，如果有這種名詞的話；事實上，他們根本沒有身分可言。而這些數據還沒包括因肉食相關問題而無辜受苦的野生動物與家畜。肉食造成全球暖化及無止盡的殺生，因此肉食是謀殺，是必須制止的罪行。雖然你們有些人已經知道肉食引發許多疾病的可怕後果，但在此我仍要為那些不了解的人略作說明。
列舉一些食用與生產肉類所導致的疾病：狂牛症（90%的人有罹病的風險）；豬流感--你們都知道了，這是當前全球性傳染病；雷斯頓伊波拉病毒；醃肉及魚會增加兒童罹患白血病的風險；一種具有抗藥性的「超級病菌」--金黃色葡萄球菌的感染；藍舌症；大腸桿菌；沙門氏菌；禽流感；豬瘟；李斯特桿菌症；貝類中毒；妊娠毒血症；彎曲桿菌；困難腸梭菌；外表健康的牲畜也帶有的隱藏性疾病。
列舉一些吃肉的代價：
☆ 不孕：婦女每天吃一份肉類，不孕的機率就增加32%；吃越多肉，不孕的機率越高。
☆ 心臟病：全球每年有超過1,700萬人死於心臟病，心血管疾病的花費每年超過1兆美元。
☆ 癌症：大腸癌：每年有超過100萬個罹患大腸癌的新病例，並有逾50萬人死於大腸癌。單是在美國，治療大腸癌的費用就高達65億美元。每年還有數百萬人被診斷出罹患與肉食相關的其他癌症。
☆ 糖尿病：全球罹患人數高達2億4,600萬人。據估計，單是在美國，每年的治療費用就達1,740億美元。
☆ 肥胖症：全球有16億成人過重，其中4億人有肥胖症。單是在美國，每年的醫療費用就達930億美元。每年至少有260萬人是因過重或肥胖的因素而死亡。
☆ 環境成本：生產肉類及相關產品：耗用高達70%的淨水，污染多數水體，砍伐森林--地球的肺，消耗高達43%的世界穀糧，消耗高達85%的全球大豆，導致世界饑荒和戰爭，造成80%的全球暖化。
☆ 代價還有很多，不勝枚舉。
列舉一些食用乳品的代價：
現在即使是公認對我們健康有益的乳品，也反而有毒且會致病，當然還會造成經濟損失。
列舉如下：
研究發現乳酪含有細菌微生物、殺蟲劑和從其他動物的胃壁萃取出來的酶；乳酪中高達80%的卡路里是來自純脂肪；乳品中的荷爾蒙會導致乳癌、前列腺癌和睪丸癌；感染李斯特桿菌症和導致克隆氏症；荷爾蒙與飽和脂肪會導致骨質疏鬆症、肥胖、糖尿病和心臟病；提高多發性硬化症的發病率；乳品被列為主要過敏源；乳糖不耐症；當然還造成全球暖化！
代價還有很多，不勝枚舉。
幸好我們有一個簡單的方法可以避免這一切，那就是吃純素。
在此列舉一些純素飲食的利益：
降低血壓、降低膽固醇、減輕第二型糖尿病病情、預防中風、改善動脈硬化、降低50%罹患心臟病的風險、降低80%動心臟手術的機率、預防許多種類的癌症、強化免疫系統、延長平均壽命達15年、提高智商、可節省80%全球抗暖化所需耗費的40兆美元成本、可減少使用78%的耕地、省下高達70%的淨水、使80%的亞馬遜雨林免遭砍伐作為牧場；解決世界饑荒：能釋出34億公頃土地、每年可省下全球一半的穀物供應量--7億6,000萬噸；消耗的化石燃料是肉類生產的1/3、減少未經處理的動物排泄物污染、維持空氣清新、美國每戶家庭一年可減少4.5噸的碳排量、可遏止80%以上的全球暖化等等，不勝枚舉。
利益不只這些。我希望到此為止，但是不然。要淨化我們的社會、保護世人免於罹患其他致命的疾病，我們還必須剷除其他禍根，如酒、毒品和菸草。容我在此一一說明，讓不知情的人明白，同時也是為了我們的子孫，因為這些也是致命之物。
二號殺手：酒 |
酒殺人無數，只是快慢而已。全球每年有230萬人的死因與飲酒有關，我們必須制止此一罪行。
在此列舉一些飲酒的慘痛代價：
飲酒每年造成全球230萬人喪生。每年與飲酒相關的疾病花費，光是美國就達1,864億美元，全球達2,100億至6,650億美元。飲酒會引發各種致命性的疾病，如肝癌、乳癌、大腸癌等等，還有心血管疾病。請參考我們的網站，因為我無法在此一一列舉，不然會太長。所以我們有個網站：www.SupremeMasterTV.com/KILLERS，你可以在裡面找到更多資訊，了解那些殺害我們、摧毀地球並禍延子孫的凶手，因為代價還有很多。好，我繼續列舉給你們聽。
酒喝越多，罹癌的風險就越高。即使每天只喝半杯酒，罹患口腔癌或喉癌的風險也會增加168%；還有金屬毒性污染的風險也會提高。喝酒也會導致腦部損傷，造成失憶症、失智症、腦部萎縮等。喝酒會引起心臟、肝臟、腎臟、胃、胰臟、眼睛等重要器官衰竭，並會造成智能障礙、胎兒酒精症候群、生長遲滯、面部畸形、嬰兒猝死症、流產等先天缺陷。
飲酒還會引發暴力行為。與飲酒相關的暴力行為包括：虐待兒童案例：佔50%、對親人施暴案例：佔30%、暴力事件案例：佔40%~80%、自殺案例：佔20%~50%，不勝枚舉。
列舉一些不喝酒的利益：
幸好只要我們不喝酒，就不會受這些苦，也不至於連累我們的親友。
在此列舉一些禁酒的明顯益處：
1）讓心臟恢復健康：戒菸並少喝酒，加上多運動、多吃蔬果，中風的機率會減少一半。西班牙研究員發現，不含酒精的啤酒能降低膽固醇，而且對心臟有潛在的利益，又沒有喝酒的相關風險。
2）節省金錢：加拿大一項研究估計，戒酒計畫每年可挽救880條人命，並省下10億美元。
3）降低死亡率：俄羅斯一年內的伏特加銷售量減少10%，就使得飲酒相關的死亡人數大幅減少。運動、少喝酒、吃蔬果及不吸菸，可使壽命延長14年。
4）減少癌症：世界癌症研究基金會（World Cancer Research Fund）的一項研究發現，少吃肉和少喝酒能減少罹癌風險。
5）促進康復：一旦停止喝酒，大腦的再生能力和功能都會增強。酒精性肝炎的患者只要戒酒，加上吃純素等良好飲食，就能完全康復。健身網站（Bodybuilding.com）指出，不喝酒的健身者有利於鍛鍊肌肉、水合作用、復元、新陳代謝和集中注意力。
6）增進社會祥和：紐西蘭的一項禁酒令，使飲酒違法的案例減少98%，其他的犯罪也減少了。美國新墨西哥州的研究顯示，週日禁止賣酒，使交通意外事故和死亡人數都減少了。英國亞伯里斯威斯（Aberystwyth）實施一項禁酒令後，相關的犯罪行為降低了15%。澳洲科夫斯港市（Coffs Harbour City）的碼頭地區因為禁酒使犯罪率成功降低，所以改成永久禁酒。美國佛羅里達州把合法飲酒年齡從18歲改為21歲後，車禍死亡的案件大幅減少。英國馬爾斯克村（Marske）一項不賣酒給21歲以下年輕人的自發性禁令實施後，犯罪和反社會行為都減少了，因此被制定成永久禁令。美國大學的一項禁酒令不僅有助於個人全面戒酒，也減少了酒醉的情況和酒後的不良影響。
三號殺手：毒品 |
接著我們來看第三號殺手，那就是毒品。毒品摧毀無數人的性命、聰明才智和能力，害家庭破碎悲痛，使人前途黯淡無光、甚至沒有未來，尤其是年輕人，因為年輕人易受影響，容易陷入這種誘惑。毒品禍害無窮，更可悲的是，往往是年輕人深受其害。難道這不是天理不容、應該要求制止的罪行嗎？請容我告訴那些還不知道的人。
列舉一些濫用毒品成癮的慘痛代價：
每年有逾20萬人因此喪生，這還不包括相關的犯罪死亡人數。光是美國每年就為此花費1,810億美元，英國每年則花費330億美元。英國目前毒癮者的終生醫療成本高達5,750億美元。
毒品造成的傷害包括：腦部損傷、中風、心臟病、肝病、肺結核、肺氣腫、癌症、憂鬱症、自殺、永久性失憶症、精神病、嬰兒死亡率提高、犯罪與暴力增加、陽萎。
毒品導致犯罪與暴力：英國每年有50%的竊盜案件與非法毒品有關。美國每年被捕的人有60%使用非法毒品。美國的650位海洛因毒癮者在3個月內犯下7萬起案件。
毒品所耗費的社會成本：美國企業每年因員工濫用毒品與酗酒而損失1,000億美元。澳洲每年為毒癮者支付的醫療、執法費用與生產力損失達530億美元。
還有一些環境成本：每生產1克古柯鹼，就會破壞4.4平方公尺的雨林，每年有30萬公頃的雨林因為生產古柯鹼而消失。
吸毒致死：美國每天有52人死於毒品。加拿大濫用毒品的死亡人數佔總死亡人數的21%，並導致早夭而使壽命縮短23%。還有更多……不勝枚舉。那要如何重獲健康、正常又有意義的人生？這是有辦法達到的。
在此列舉一些戒除和治療毒癮的利益：
美國對毒癮的治療，以一年為觀察期，已顯示可挽救生命、減少犯罪和重建家庭。此外，經過治療後，69%的毒癮者至少一年未再碰觸毒品；治療後的一年內，逮捕率也減少了64%。再強調一次，這只是以一年為期所做的觀察，情況應該會越來越好……因為遠離毒品的生活方式使人們恢復健康、心智清明。美國加州的一項研究發現，每投入1美元的戒毒費用，就能省下7美元的開銷，因為減少了犯罪、醫療及社會福利的支出，同時又提高戒毒者收入的穩定性。美國60%的古柯鹼和海洛因是由同一年被捕入獄的人所吸食，因此，幫助他們戒除毒癮可減少犯罪率和毒品的市場需求。美國亞利桑那州有一名醫生發現新的甲基安非他命毒癮門診療法，顯示康復的成功率超過60%。美國20年的研究顯示，戒毒治療計畫能有效減少犯罪，並改善參加者的健康與社會功能。
無毒品的工作場所計畫發現有如下成效：曠職率降低、意外事故減少、生產力提高、士氣提高、員工健康改善、醫療津貼的使用和支出減少、公司保險費用下降。當然還有許多其他利益。我們在http://suprememastertv.com/KILLERS有完整的資訊，請上網參考更詳細的資訊。我們的網站 http://SupremeMasterTV.com多處都有提及，請隨意瀏覽那些網頁，還有http://suprememastertv.com/SOS。
四號殺手：菸 |
菸草製品每年奪走近550萬人的性命。吸菸會永久改變一個人的基因結構，使人罹癌的機率提高，因此菸草也是一種罪惡。真可惜，這是世上最容易避免的死因。
在此列舉一些菸草所造成的慘痛代價：
全球每年有540萬人的死因與抽菸有關。
抽菸造成的相關疾病所花的費用，光是美國就達960億美元。淡菸與涼菸一樣有害。會讓動物同伴罹癌及生病。會加速老化。三手菸的有毒殘留物質也會致命。我們還沒把菸草對兒童的傷害算進去。菸草還會造成：心臟病：冠狀動脈血栓、腦血栓、腎衰竭；癌症：肺癌、食道癌、腎癌、膀胱癌；慢性阻塞性肺病：像是肺氣腫、支氣管炎；中風；陽萎。
二手菸的傷害包括：
嬰兒猝死症、不孕症、流產及早產、兒童氣喘、支氣管炎、耳炎、唇顎裂、造成有氣喘的男孩過動及好鬥、造成婦女循環不良。此外還有很多，不勝枚舉。
列舉一些禁菸的利益：
當然，幸好我們還是有方法可以終止所有這些悲劇，那就是遠離香菸，對香菸說不。以下為各位提供挽救性命的有益選擇：
1）禁菸救人無數：戒菸並限制飲酒，加上多運動和多吃蔬果，就能使中風的機率減少一半以上。英國在公共場所實施禁菸，降低了二手菸的危害。二手菸每年奪走一萬一千多條人命。美國藥品濫用及精神健康服務管理局（Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration）表示，全美50州銷售菸品給未成年者的比率創歷史新低。澳洲維多利亞州18至29歲的年輕癮君子人數減少了30%，這都要歸功於酒吧和俱樂部的禁菸令。日本民眾的吸菸率逐年下降，今年更創下歷史新低。
2）禁菸使急性冠心症的罹患率降低：義大利羅馬在公共場所實施禁菸令後的第1年，急性冠心症的病例下降了11.2%。以色列研究人員指出，對戒菸的人而言，所增高的心臟病突發而猝死的風險似乎立即消失。法國國家衛生研究所（National Sanitary Institute）公佈，該國實施禁菸令後，心臟病發作率明顯下降，二手菸害也減少了。美國紐約全面禁菸後，因嚴重的心臟病發作而住院的病患減少了8%，相當於一年節省5,600萬美元的醫療支出。
3）禁菸促進健康：據加拿大全國人口健康調查（National Population Health Survey）資料顯示，癮君子罹患支氣管炎、氣喘和高血壓等慢性病的比率較高。癮君子和那些暴露在二手菸中的人罹患大腸癌的年齡，比不吸菸的人約提前7年。
4）禁菸使兒童更健康：美國密西根州立大學（Michigan State University）和英國大衛海德氣喘及過敏研究中心（David Hide Asthma and Allergy Research Centre）的研究指出，母親懷孕時有抽菸習慣，會增加小孩罹患氣喘的風險。兒童經常暴露於二手菸中，罹患肺癌的風險為3倍以上，日後生活也較容易發生其他呼吸道問題。
5）禁菸使生意興隆：英國首席醫療官利亞姆‧唐納森（Liam Donaldson）在他的年度報告中說，公共場所禁菸，估計每年可省下27億英鎊：亦即員工更健康、更有效率，可省下6億8,000萬英鎊；員工生病天數減少，可省下1億4,000萬英鎊；避免上班時吸菸所造成的生產力損失，可省下4億3,000萬英鎊；還可省下1億英鎊與吸菸有關的清潔費用，不勝枚舉。
現在大家就能明白，我們必須作出優先的選擇，看是要豐沛、美麗、祥和的地球，或是受苦受難，或者更糟：全部滅亡。而所有這些致命的罪行--肉、酒、毒、菸--必須全面制止。取而代之，我們將擁有什麼？動物與人類都能快樂長壽，人們無比健康安樂，才智與創意湧現，重獲遺忘已久的愛與喜悅。總之，那將是各方面都非常提昇的新人類。
讓我們一起展望這樣的未來--一個我們值得擁有、所有生命都同等受到擁護與珍視的美好未來。讓我們心生歡喜，因為黎明似乎已經降臨。願上蒼保佑我們所有人！上帝疼愛我們！因此為了地球上的所有生命，讓我們作出明智的抉擇，例如：捨棄肉食，開始吃純素；不再污染世界，而力行環保；遠離令人迷醉的物質，透過祈禱、瑜伽、靜坐等，沉浸在上帝的恩典中；不再栽種毒品，而改種有機蔬果。祝大家一切順利，得享上天的厚愛。感謝大家盡己之力，祝各位蒙受庇佑。
Video message from Supreme Master Ching Hai, Vegan Earth Day for a Vegan World, Woodland Hills, California, USA, June 21, 2009 (Originally in English)
Throughout hundreds of thousands of years of history, humankind has evolved. We have come a long way. How far may surprise us. And it may surprise us that even war is not the worst thing that happens. There are far worse killers. If you allow, I will name them for your sake, perhaps for my sake as well. We live together on the same planet; we have the same concerns. So what concerns you, concerns me.
There was a time when humans killed other humans – even just to eat. Now, doing so is a crime. We call it murder – people killing people, the most heinous crime of all crimes. Whether old or young, light skinned or dark, Christian or Muslim, Buddhist or Sikh – to take the life of a human is in some places still punishable with one’s own life being taken in return. Today, people kill animals to eat. But now humanity is being called to an even more elevated and compassionate moral level of conduct: A future day is dawning where killing animals, too, shall be called a crime. It has happened in some places already. In America, a teen has just been recently judged as to have committed a crime by killing serially 19 cats.
In the civilized society that should be; we protest war; we hold rallies to stop the senseless killing of human against human; we plead with governments to enact policies of peace; we judge the murderer as one whose standards are less than human, as one guilty of an act so unimaginable that the person is shunned by society for the rest of his or her life. An entire elaborate legal system is established; an enormous squad of personnel and forces are employed to impose punishment for the reprehensible act of causing death to another human, for robbing others of their beloved or their kin. Evidence is gathered, juries are summoned, the most learned judges preside, armed guards stand watch, impenetrable prisons are built, police risk their safety in defense of human life, and schools and families teach moral conduct - all to prevent such crimes from occurring. We take much time, energy, and our collective resources to protect life thus.
One day, we will also protest against the murder of our animal co-inhabitants. And by extension, we will denounce anything in the future that kills, because killing is a crime that must be stopped. These silent killers, they are unnoticed by most of us. They are in our home every day. I will try to point them out. It may surprise you, it may not. To some of you, it is obvious; to some of you it will be the first time that you realize who our enemy truly is.
 | The Top Killers KILLER#1:MEAT |
MEAT or animal products, animal so-called food. Surprised? There will be more. MEAT kills literally billions. A staggering 55 billion animals, 8 times the entire global human population, are killed for human consumption each and every year, with a total loss that translates to more than 150 million beings killed every day. This is not even counting the several billion fish that perish. Humans, too, die each year because of meat and fish, and anything related to animal consumption. Nearly 33 million people succumb to meat-related diseases annually through heart disease, cancer and other conditions that claim the lives of more than 90,000 persons each day. 90,000 persons die each day because of animal consumption! And then there are those who cannot obtain food because the grains they need are used to feed animals that will be killed for meat. Approximately 25,000 people die of hunger every day, on top of the 90,000 people who die because of meat. There are 25,000 people who die of hunger indirectly, also because of meat. And now on top of this, we have hundreds of thousands of people dying each year, as the victims of meat-caused global warming. We have tens of millions of others who are made homeless due to climate change. We call them climate refugees, if there is such a term; in fact, they have no status. And this does not include the innocent wildlife and domestic animals who suffer because of meat-related problems. Meat causes global warming, and kills and kills and kills. Therefore, MEAT is murder, a crime that must be stopped. Although some of you already know the horrifying effects of meat-related diseases, I’ll make a rundown here for the sake of those who are not aware.
SOME DISEASES RELATED TO MEAT CONSUMPTION AND PRODUCTION:
Mad cow disease (90% of the population at risk). Swine flu, you know already, presently the world pandemic. Ebola-Reston virus. Cured meats and fish increase leukemia risk in children. Antibiotic-resistant “superbug” infections from a strain of Staphylococcus aureus. Blue tongue disease. E coli. Salmonella. Bird flu. Pig's disease (PMWS). Listeriosis. Shellfish poisoning. Pre-eclampsia. Campylobacter. Clostridium difficile. Diseases, hidden even in healthy-appearing livestock.
SOME OF THE COSTS OF MEAT EATING
INFERTILITY: Eating just one serving of meat per day increases the risk of women’s infertility by 32 percent; the more meat consumption, the more risk.
HEART DISEASE: Over 17 million lives lost globally each year. Cost of cardiovascular disease is at least US$1 trillion per year.
CANCER: Colorectal cancer: Over 1 million new colon cancer patients diagnosed each year as well; more than half a million die of it. In the United States alone, colon cancer treatment costs about US$6.5 billion. Millions of people are newly diagnosed with other meat-related cancers every year.
DIABETES: 246 million people are affected worldwide. An estimated US$174 billion spent each year on treatment in just the United States.
OBESITY: Worldwide 1.6 billion adults are overweight with 400 million more who are obese. Costs US$93 billion each year for medical expenses in the United States alone. At least 2.6 million people die annually from problems related to being overweight or obese.
ENVIRONMENTAL COST: Meat and related productions: Uses up to 70% of clean water. Pollutes most of the water bodies. Deforests the lungs of the Earth. Uses up to 43% of the world's cereal. Uses up to 85% of the world's soy. Causes world hunger and wars. Causes 80% of global warming.
PLUS MORE… The list goes on!
SOME OF THE COSTS OF MILK CONSUMPTION
Now, even MILK, which we have been told officially is good for us, is on the contrary poison and causing diseases (and of course financial loss). Here are some:
Bacterial microbes, pesticides and enzymes found in cheese, derived from the inner stomach linings of other animals. Up to 80 percent of the calories in cheese are from pure fat. Breast, prostate and testicular cancer from hormones present in milk. Listeria and Crohn’s disease. Hormones and saturated fat leading to osteoporosis, obesity, diabetes and heart disease. Linked to higher incidence of multiple sclerosis. Classified as a major allergen. Lactose intolerance. And of course global warming!
PLUS MORE… The list goes on.
Luckily for us, we can avoid all these by a simple cure: the VEGAN DIET.
HERE ARE SOME BENEFITS OF A VEGAN DIET
Lowers blood pressure. Lowers cholesterol levels. Reduces Type 2 diabetes. Prevents stroke conditions. Reverses atherosclerosis. Reduces heart disease risk 50%. Reduces heart surgery risk 80%. Prevents many forms of cancer. Stronger immune system. Increases life expectancy up to 15 years. Higher IQ. Saves 80% of a total cost of US$40 trillion for reducing global warming. Uses 4.5 times less land to grow food. Conserves up to 70% clean water. Saves 80% of the cleared Amazonian rainforest from animal grazing. A solution for world hunger: Frees up to 3.4 billion hectares of land. Frees up to 760 million tons of grain every year; that is half the world’s grain supply. Consumes 1/3 the fossil fuels of those used for meat production. Reduces pollution from untreated animal waste. Maintains cleaner air. Saves 4.5 tons of emissions per US household per year. Stop 80% of global warming or more. The list goes on.
But that’s not all. I wish that’s all there was, but it’s not. To clean up our society and to protect world citizens from other deadly diseases, we also have to eliminate other root causes, such as alcohol, drugs and tobacco. Permit me to list them all here for the benefit of those unaware, and for the sake of our children, because these are killers also.
| KILLER #2: ALCOHOL |
ALCOHOL kills millions, slowly or quickly. There are 2.3 million alcohol-related deaths per year worldwide. It is a crime that we must stop.
HERE ARE SOME OF THE TRAGIC TOLLS of ALCOHOL
2.3 million alcohol-related deaths per year worldwide. Each year alcohol-related illnesses cost: US$186.4 billion in the United States alone, from US$210 to US$665 billion globally. Diseases caused by alcohol: All kinds of fatal illnesses such as liver, breast, colon cancer, etc… and cardiovascular disease as well.

2008.07.05蒙受上天垂憐與保護的方法
 | 編號：838（2片裝） |

我們如果能拯救地球與所有的物種，那就太好了！前提是，所有世人都採取愛護生命的素食飲食，這樣我們就會存續下去，並享有繁榮、長壽、和平、快樂的生活，非常長久，甚至永遠。世界會繼續存在，並充滿榮耀與愛心，就像天堂一般。如果每個人都吃素、做好事，就會實現。我們只要做到這兩件事︰吃素、做好事，就可以拯救地球，非常簡單！做不到的話，我們就無法拯救地球。
除了仰賴上帝的恩典和自己的道德，我們無法做什麼。我們要保護自己，只有靠道德，靠正直、善良、慈愛和寬容。我們只能靠保護人類和動物來保護自己。保護人類就是提醒他們過高雅的生活方式，不要傷害自己和別的眾生，包括動物和環境。根據上天的要求，盡力去做所有的好事，時時相互幫忙、原諒別人。
只有兩件事︰吃素、僅做好事，非常簡單！這是目前和所有時刻，我們最需要做的事。到時是安然無恙，或有3天、3個月或永遠的黑暗期，一切就看人類如何回應來自上天和地球接連不斷的警告。我們已收到來自四面八方的警告，現在該是我們留心警惕、回歸我們慈愛天性的時候，將內在的愛以行動展現出來，保護並尊敬所有生命，也就是要吃素，停止使用所有動物性產品；不只是食物，而是所有動物性產品，這才是真正地吃素。
再次強調這兩件事：吃素、做好事，為了他人，當然也為了自己。做好事利益別人，等於做好事幫助自己，因為我們都同一體。不論做什麼事，都會有果報；做善事，就會有善報。所以那些走在愛的路上的人，他們吃素、做好人，就會蒙受上天垂憐和保護。除此之外，我們無法做什麼來防備。

The Way to Heaven’s Mercy and Protection
Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, Videoconference: Eden on Earth Art Exhibition, Taipei, Formosa July 5, 2008 (Originally in English)
If we can save the planet and all species thereof, then it is excellent. That is, if all turn to a life-loving diet, the vegetarian diet, then we will continue to live and enjoy prosperity, long life, peace and happiness for a long, long time, forever. And the world will continue to exist in glory and love, like Heaven. That is, if everyone becomes vegetarian and does good deeds. That’s it; only two things that we have to do to save this planet: vegetarian diet, doing good deeds. Very simple. If not, then we cannot save the planet.
Nothing we can do, except to rely on God’s grace and our virtue. We have to protect ourselves, only by being virtuous, by being correct, kind, loving and forgiving. We can only protect ourselves by protecting others, humans and animals alike. Protecting humans means reminding them of the noble way of life. That is, refrain from all harm to self and others, including animals and the environment. Strive to do all good according to Heaven’s mandate, helping each other and forgiving at all times.
Two things only: be a vegetarian, do only good deeds. Very simple. This is the best we can do, for now and for all time. Whether it will be the same or it will be darkness for three days, for three months or forever, that depends on humans’ reaction to the present continuous warnings from Heaven and Earth. We’ve been warned from all sides. It is time that we take heed now and return to our natural loving Self. Manifest our love outwardly by protecting and respecting all lives, in action. Meaning again: being a vegetarian and abstaining from all animal products. Not just food, but all animal products. That is the true vegetarian.
So, just two things again: being a vegetarian and doing good things for others and for ourselves, of course. But doing good things for others means doing good things for ourselves, because we are all one. And whatever you do, you will reap the reward. If you do good, you will have good reward in return. So for those who walk the way of love, that is, being a vegetarian, being a good human, they will have Heaven’s mercy and protection. There is nothing else we can do to prepare.
