I am very grateful to courageous leaders in the world for stepping out of their boundary and to speak out for the sake of everyone. Even if the public does not appreciate their goodwill, Heaven will take note. And they will have a great reward hereafter. To such wise and courageous ones, we offer full support and respect. We pray that Heaven give them more strength, more wisdom to carry out their noble duty. Being a leader, we must know what is good for our subjects and what is not. And what is good, we have to encourage them to do, facilitate them to do. And what is bad, we have to stop, to protect them. That is the true meaning of a leader.

Heaven will bless the one who is merciful to all beings, to others. We have to stop the killing of animals, and of course of our own people, at any cost. Because killing will beget killing again, again, and again and Heaven is not pleased when we treat each other, or treat the animals or any lesser beings in an unmerciful way. If we want mercy, we have to be merciful. When we are more at peace on our table, everywhere, then there will be peace on Earth. So that’s why the vegetarian diet is the beginning of peace on the planet.

Only in peace can we develop anything that is beneficial to the citizens of the nation; only in peace can we talk nicely on the table; only in peace can we have enough mental power to think of what to do next in the future for the whole benefit of the country. Heaven is our own making. If we want a bright future, we have to offer that to others. Whatever we want to have ourselves, we first have to offer it. The outside situation is a manifestation of our inner state of Self. If we want to change the outside situation, the best thing is to change from inside, yes? We have to have peace within ourselves first. We have to have peace with other beings on the planet and then peace would be in our home and in our country.

First of all, my respectful salute to all leaders of different groups, idealistic groups and nations; leaders whose responsibility and well-intentions are to create a peaceful world and happiness, contentment to all citizens and co-citizens - co-inhabitants. Well, the animals are also citizens of the world, in different forms, yes. Regardless of ideology and principles, we all want peace. Our world will become Heaven on Earth if we have peace, if all live side by side without fearing each other and just protecting each other. So, we must have peace so we can get on with our lives and get on with our family-loving, protecting, affair, and enjoying the family love and family togetherness. When we have peace, our people will have security to work, to take care of ourselves and loved ones, to develop all their potentials. I salute your courage and goodwill in what you have been doing because I know your intention is to protect the meek, to erase war, erase injustice, in your opinion, so that our world will become a better place. We don't have to kill, we don't have to fight in order to do that. There are alternative ways to win people's hearts and to make peace on the planet.

Anything for peace is worthy to pay, and then it’d be done. Have to put down the pride, both sides, and really concentrate on the welfare, development, peace, and prosperity of their own people, and just shake hands and sign and live next to each other in peace, like good neighbors. Then it’s done. So easy.

How do we stop war? It only stops when all of us contributes to peace in our action, speech and thought. And of course, we have to also advise our government that peace is the only thing we want. And we do not want war at all. Because deep down in our heart, everyone’s heart, everyone just loves peace, so that they can go around in their business and the husband will be staying home to love his wife, and the father would be there for the children. I don’t know why we ever even think of war at all. Because from all we know since time immemorial, war has not brought much happiness or any good things to humankind. So, we should have learned from the history, and we should never start the war in any case.

We should look in the whole nation as a family. And maybe some members in the family are not to your liking, or maybe behaving in some way that is not favorable, but we have to be patient. We have to be patient, better than suffering, bloodshed, division, and war within the country. War, anybody can make. Peace, it takes great courageous leadership to materialize it.
