“Mother Earth is a living being and we are an expression of the Mother Earth, but we do not respect her. Drilling everywhere, doing fracking (hydraulic fracturing) to get oil and destroying Mother Earth, we have no conscience. It’s not just the characters, the companies that do all that extraction and use that, but when I go to take gasoline, I do not think about that, I do not care, I do not care about my wellbeing. ‘Oh, I have electricity and if that electricity does not come of renewable energy and pure energy, energy that does not pollute, I do not care, I have electricity.’”
“We have the problem of Consumption, of what we ingest. There is meat, which is not something natural. I mean, we do not have claws, we do not have the teeth to tear the flesh. In the animal kingdom, they have a very thin intestine, very short, to evacuate all the meat; there they eliminate toxins quickly. We have a bowel that is too long, so the meat may take days decomposing. That’s the problem, we get intoxicated. We also have no idea how they do it so that the meat is preserved and does not rot, how many antibiotics, how many chemicals they put in. That’s what we are consuming.”
Some of the toxic chemicals added to or detected in meat: Ammonia ANTIBIOTICS Arsenic BHA / BHT Carbon monoxide Cetylpyridinium chloride Chlorine baths Dioxin HORMONES Lead Mercury PESTICIDES Propylene glycol Sodium nitrite and nitrate VETERINARY DRUGS Other disinfectants, preservatives, environmental contaminants, etc.
LIVESTOCK: Largest Source of Methane (72 times more potent than CO2 over a 20-year period)
According to scientists, the livestock industry alone is the leading cause of global warming, deforestation, food and water scarcity, species extinction, ocean dead zones, and massive animal cruelty. The Worldwatch Institute calculated that the meat industry is responsible for “at least 51%” of all greenhouse gas emissions. Before this finding, Supreme Master Ching Hai informed us that the more accurate figure is at least 80%. LIVESTOCK INDUSTRY CAUSES 80% GLOBAL WARMING
In addition, the United Nations Environment Programme has acknowledged in a report that “a substantial reduction of [environmental] impacts would only be possible with a substantial worldwide diet change, away from animal products.”
“So this moment is for learning. We have to be aware if we are going to be a humanity with the spirit to rise spiritually together with Mother Earth. If not, where are we going to end? Well, we’ll disappear. It’s not the first time a humanity disappears. There have been three. This is the fourth one. If it is not achieved, and at the level of contamination that we are having, because we do not have a direction, we do not have a life purpose, then that’s where we have to go.”
“We will have absolutely nothing to fear if every one becomes vegan, then the planet will completely be healed, be protected and will progress. We, also as a human race, will progress to a higher dimension of intelligence and understanding. Many more beautiful inventions will come out of this higher consciousness. Many of the benevolent phenomena will open to us through this compassionate lifestyle.”
“(What would happen to all living life forms if we don’t start doing changes in our behavior to the planet?) You know what will happen. You don’t even need to ask me. You go on to internet and look at all the reports from the scientists, the recent ones. So many islands have sunk under water already. Many coastal cities’ land has been eroded. The cost of not doing anything is immense. I do not want to elaborate on this. I do not want to imagine it.
I want to plead with all the planet people. Please stop killing animals. Please have compassion. Please turn to vegetarian diet. Please be vegan. That is to save yourselves and your children. I just hope somebody is listening. So, organic vegan diet is the answer.”
“When we have developed to certain extent technologically, and we are not balancing it with the spiritual awakening, then we do not know how to handle the progress. And then we will bear the consequences of our incomplete knowledge of technology. We have to balance it more with spiritual understanding, with high nobility and excellent moral standard. Then we will not have destruction on Earth. We will have only blessing, bliss, and even technologically comfortable life. So all we do is turn to nobility now, turn to compassion and loving style. Like be veg, do good, be green. Even if we just be veg, it will be green, too.”
