從愛心出發

The Complete Protection of Virtue

Videoconference with Supreme Master Ching Hai, Bangkok, Thailand, July 24, 2008 (Originally in English)

Right now, many disasters are happening around the world, more frequently than ever before and even more deadly. This is because the force of the negative retribution of the killing karmic consequence is more ripe than before. So, people are suffering a lot around the world.

But all of our suffering is from the killing of eating meat. If we didn’t eat meat, no one would kill for us, to offer us meat. So the vegetarian diet will minimize all the disasters and even clear them all out. If people just turn their hearts around, they would be compassionate and loving like real human beings, because humans are inherently very compassionate and loving. It’s just they have been misled. They have not been informed since a long time and the bad habits or the negative information has already been ingrained into their way of life. They have been misled very, very badly.

So now we have to inform them and remind them again that it is not the way we should live our life. The way we should live our life is with love, compassion and peace with all beings, including animals. So we have to continue doing our job of informing people. Tell them to be vegetarian to minimize all these bad effects. Even if I sit here telling you that the cyclone will come or not come, what good does that do? If this cyclone doesn’t come, another cyclone will come, or some other disaster will come if we don’t change the way we live our life. If we don’t change to live according to the harmonious system of the Universe, then we are out of accord. And when we are out of this protective harmonious cycle of the Universe, we’re out of protection. And that’s why bad things happen.
