Green Gazelles: The World’s First Vegan Rugby Team, Part 2 of 2

In this episode, we continue to find out more about the benefits of a vegan diet on health and athletic performance. “A lot of people pay for exterior improvements, but what about the interior, what is going on inside? So, I think paying a little bit of time to focus in on what you put inside you is really important, genuinely. And it heals. Just from eating plant-based foods, you heal yourself and you feel better.”

“So Green Gazelles really, is that platform to show maybe the sporting community or rugby community that you can still play rugby, a real manly sport, and still care for animals, and also maximize your performance through what you’re eating. I hope when we play our first tournament, we will change people's perception and show people that there are six foot five (2 meters), 121-kg vegan athletes, or vegan rugby players out there.”

We end our show with a loving message from our beloved Supreme Master Ching Hai. “The animals are our helpers, our friends, and Heaven’s beloved. If we become vegan, such a simple, easy step, we don’t just win our beautiful planet back, we stand to gain an even more beautiful, wonderful, elevated world. Because the vegan lifestyle carries such a powerful energy – all positive, all loving, all constructive, all blessing, all intelligence – that could melt all the negative energy away, destroy it forever, and neutralize the destructive forces in our environment and in our lives in the shortest time that you could imagine; and then replace them with constructive energy and peaceful vibrations. It will be just like the difference between walking into a slaughterhouse and into a vegan café, which you could try yourself to compare the atmosphere and the feeling – you will see what I mean.”
