Glow with Gifts from Nature: Living on Raw with David Wolfe

SupremeMasterTV — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 14:45:28 +0000

David Wolfe(m): We've dulled ourselves down with this toxic food and food that's not natural. And when we bring back the natural, we also bring back the spiritual. We invite in more glow and more radiance and we start to feel a sense of something higher, of something greater. And the way I describe that, and the way I phrase that, is that we feel something noble, we feel a noble essence in raw foods.

HOST: Welcome beneficent viewers to Healthy Living on Supreme Master Television. This week we feature the first of a two-part interview with David Wolfe, a nutritionist, author and lecturer who is an expert on raw foods, natural health, beauty nutrition, herbalism, chocolate, and organic superfoods.

David is quite popular and some of his celebrity fans include co-founder and chief executive officer of Apple, Steve Jobs, and Hollywood actors Angela Basset, James Caan and Woody Harrelson.

For the past １6 years, this accomplished individual, who has a masters in nutrition and a law degree, has been informing the world of the benefits of a raw food diet and natural living through over １,7５０ live lectures, CDs, DVDs and books. Some of his best-sellers include: “Eating for Beauty,” “Naked Chocolate,” “David Wolfe on Raw Foods,” “Superfoods: The Food and Medicine of the Future” and “The Sunfood Diet Success System.”

He is the co-founder of TheBestDayEver.com Online Health Magazine and is the founder and president of The Fruit Tree Planting Foundation, a non-profit charity whose mission is to plant １８ billion fruit trees across the globe.

Through the Foundation's efforts, thus far tens of thousands of fruit trees have been planted in North America, South Asia, and Africa. In our interview we asked David to discuss the advantages of a raw food diet. He began by defining the term “raw food.” David Wolf: What is raw food again？ It's fruits and vegetables, and nuts and seeds, and seaweeds, all raw and organic, flowers, sprouts, grasses like wheatgrass, superfoods and super herbs.

One of the great gifts that it gives us, it allows us to really begin to detect what's going on in our body and it gives us a lot of insight in that way. Of course there's great nutrition in these foods, and there's wonderful amounts of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, and trace minerals, and polysaccharides, which are essential sugars that heal us.

HOST: David Wolfe is well known for his uplifting lectures on how raw foods can change one's life for the better. Why does he feel so passionate about raw food？

David Wolfe: Raw food has definitely made me more open to that infinite supply of love that emanates from all living things, and really from everything. It allows you to tune into subtler forces that are available to us. It allows you to tune into beauty, and the beauty ethic, and the power of beauty and in transforming our self and in transforming others. It tunes you into the great depth of the mystery of our world, and the mystery of the cosmos, which to me is so incredible. Because our creator is so deep, and so incredibly rich, that it's a mystery.

HOST: David is a firm believer in the sanctity of life and that our diet should always reflect a respect for all beings.

David Wolfe(m): To bring the vibration of this whole planet up we have got to stop this killing. And it's not just war. It's also what we're having for breakfast. It's not just there's people shooting each other. It's also we're shooting these animals and we're destroying these noble life forms. And we can very deeply benefit spiritually from removing ourselves from that karma, and opening ourselves up to other choices: vegan, vegetarian and then beyond that, raw food.

HOST: Raw foods feature rich flavors and raw chefs around the world are continually creating healthful new dishes that replicate the taste of their non-raw counterparts.

David Wolfe: We can have raw coconut cashew ice-cream. Every flavor you ever wanted. Raw chocolate chip mint ice-cream - no dairy - it's all made out of coconut, and cashews and pistachios and you eat that and you're like, “Oh my! This is incredible, what is going on？” And there's no side effects. So we get all those goodies - no side effects.

Vegetarianism: A Shared Ideal for Humanity - Interview with Chief Rabbi David Rosen (In Hebrew)

SupremeMasterTV — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 14:21:23 +0000

Rabbi Rosen(m): Vegetarianism is clearly the biblical ideal and therefore every person for whom the Bible is a sacred text, that should mean every Jew and Christian should be a vegetarian.

HOST: Today, on the first of a 2-part feature, we will explore the ancient wisdoms of the Jewish faith, and how the 30-century-old teachings are very much applicable to the issues and ways of living in our contemporary time - for Jews and humanity as a whole.

Narrator: Ever since the Torah was handed down to them, the Jewish people have been guided by sacred words… words that nourish an enduring faith, one that has survived intact despite unimaginable odds throughout history.

Narrator: Judaism teaches reverence for God, respect for life, the maintenance of personal health, and a code of conduct based on compassion and justice. It also provides specific directions on how to be responsible custodians of the world in which we live.

HOST: We are honored to invite the much respected Rabbi David Rosen for an interview in the Holy Land of Israel. Rabbi Rosen is the International Director of Interreligious Affairs of the American Jewish Committee, Honorary President of the International Council of Christian and Jews, and former Chief Rabbi of Ireland. In 2010, Rabbi Rosen was made a Commander of the British Empire (CBE) by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth. He is also an advocate for the compassionate and plant-based lifestyle.

Rabbi Rosen(m): I was born in England, but I came here to Jerusalem after high school and I studied here. I have my rabbinic ordination from the ultraorthodox world, but I, even though I didn't come from that background, I didn't stay in that world. I met my wife here, though she also comes from England but we met here in Israel. And I was then rabbi in South Africa in Cape Town until 1979, from '73 to '79.

And then I was Chief Rabbi of Ireland from `79 to `85. We came back in 1985 to Jerusalem, so we've have been back in Jerusalem for more than 25 years. When I came back, being involved in interfaith realizations in Israel was obviously very important to me because it relates to the very fabric of Israeli society.

Any society's wellbeing and health depends upon the condition of its minorities, or the minorities within its society are a reflection of itself. So it's very important for me to be involved interfaith relations here.

HOST: Rabbi Rosen has traveled extensively throughout the world to share messages of interfaith and peace building. He has met His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI on numerous occasions, and has spoken alongside religious and world leaders including His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.

Rabbi Rosen(m): And then because of my profile as Chief Rabbi of Ireland, people knew of me, organizations knew of me, and started coming and asking me to represent them. And then as a result, I had a more of an international profile. And similarly, the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs wanted my involvement in areas that related to interfaith relations, especially when contacts with the Vatican started.

And I was asked to be part of the team that negotiated, they agreed, an establishment of diplomatic relations. And eventually then, the American Jewish Committee, which is the oldest of the American Jewish advocacy agencies and has a global outreach, asked me to be in charge of its interfaith work. And in addition to being responsible for all its interfaith relations around the world, I'm also the advisor to the Chief Rabbinate of Israel on interfaith relations and therefore have responsibility for most of its interfaith work.

Shining World Leadership Award: “Change of Diet Is Our Biggest Chance” – European Parliament Vice-President Edward McMillan-Scott

SupremeMasterTV — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 14:08:26 +0000

A country that upholds the values of peace by abolishing its army…
A president who rescued thousands of refugees' lives…
A former US vice president who brings the world's attention to global warming…
A celebrity who advocates for human rights…
An animal lover who works tirelessly for the defenseless…
An international organization that provides humanitarian aid regardless of national boundaries…
A worldwide humanitarian agency that protects human life and alleviates suffering
These are among some of the distinguished people, countries and organizations in our present day society that have made a positive difference on our planet through their noble actions.

For the purpose of recognizing these caring actions, and in response to the reports about many positive developments in the world, Supreme Master Ching Hai founded the Shining World Leadership Award in March ２００６.

The pure crystal award represents the shining noble ideals of the honored individuals, nations and organizations whose pioneering work and selfless dedication have significantly contributed to the harmony and beauty of our planet.

John Robbins (M): 『Thank you for this award and most significantly, thank you for the work you've done and are doing, and are encouraging others to do to awaken humanity to its responsibility - to live a compassionate life and to do so in honoring the spirit in all beings.』

HOST: The founder of the Shining World Leadership Award, Supreme Master Ching Hai, is a world- renowned spiritual leader, humanitarian and artist, who herself has brought immense benefits to the world through her inspiring words and shining example.

Supreme Master Ching Hai's own selfless service and devotion to all beings have been highly lauded by world leaders and governments.

Mayor Frank F. Fasi, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA: She also brings love around the world where there is hate. She brings hope where there is despair, and she brings understanding where there is misunderstanding. We don't have enough people like the Supreme Master. If we had somebody like her in every country in the world, we will have eternal peace, eternal love.

HOST: For decades, Supreme Master Ching Hai has exemplified unconditional love through her worldwide humanitarian work.

Supreme Master Ching Hai: Love your family members wholeheartedly; sacrifice for them whenever necessary. And to other members of mankind just show your love universally, and help whoever needs your help. That is the way of love.

HOST: Supreme Master Ching Hai's wisdom and compassion have been a source of inspiration for countless people worldwide. And she further encourages positive work through the Shining World Leadership Award. Thank you, Shining World Leaders!

HOST: 『A change of diet is our biggest chance to stop global warming - and save our health and money.』 These are the words of His Excellency Edward McMillan-Scott, Vice-President and senior Member of the European Parliament. The statement appeared in an article he wrote for the May ２０１０『Green Week』 edition of 『Parliament Magazine,』 a widely read political magazine covering the efforts of the European Union.

The British statesman Mr. McMillan-Scott wrote that in the face of costly environmental degradation and biodiversity loss, a change of diet 『would also benefit millions of [food] producers in Europe's uplands and the world's most difficult terrains.』

He continued, 『Now I can add the economics and biodiversity arguments. It takes １６ times more energy and resources to produce animal protein than the vegetable equivalent; livestock grazing is a major cause of desertification and our oceans are suffering from over-fishing…』 Along with human rights and democracy, encouraging everyone in the world to adopt a more plant-based diet is one of Mr. McMillan-Scott's foremost ongoing campaigns.

Vice President McMillan-Scott (M): We have a problem with greenhouse gases. One of the most significant sources of greenhouse gases is animal production and meat production, and the dairy industry, and the fact that so much soy is now been grown as animal fodder.

HOST: On December ３, ２００９, His Excellency organized a hearing before the European Parliament in Brussels, Belgium, on 『Global Warming and Food Policy: Less Meat = Less Heat』 to urge policy makers to focus on this vital action.

Cameroon’s Vibrant Mankon Mask Dance and Mvet Music (In Basssa)

SupremeMasterTV — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 23:33:21 +0000

Greetings noble viewers and welcome to this edition of Enlightening Entertainment. Today, we set off on an expedition to Cameroon to enjoy the electrifying rhythms of a popular traditional dance called Mankon Mask Dance.

We'll also discover the enchanting musical instrument called the mvet. The Mankon Mask dance has long been an indispensable component of the culture of the North-West Region of Cameroon. As a cherished feature of the Mankon culture, the dance symbolizes unity, expresses respect for culture, and brings joy to people. The dancers wear traditional attire particularly designed for the dance.

They also put on masks portraying the faces of animals to express the Oneness of creation and to show that humans and animals should live in peace and harmony. The masks concealing the identity of the dancers also add to spectators' excitement about who the dancers might be.

The instruments used in the Ngombo Mankon mask dance include xylophone, rattles, local trumpet, and tunephone, which is locally known as 『gong.』 One very peculiar aspect about the Ngombo Mankon mask dance is that it can be performed as a tribute to a very important person; in some cases, God.

African philosophy firmly believes that there must be a Supreme Being who is the Master of the universe and who can be viewed as the pioneering force of all creation.

This great being is believed to be God. In Cameroonian tradition, God is often glorified through an exhibition of traditional dances and songs. Now, let's enjoy a Ngombo Mankon mask dance performance, which accompanies the song titled, 『God is the Master of the Universe.』

Environmental Champion:Greenpeace International’s Guruswamy Ananthapadmanabhan

SupremeMasterTV — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 23:11:21 +0000

Mr. Anantha(m): I've been a vegetarian all my life. I love vegetarian food. And I see no reason why the world can't be vegetarian. And I also see quite clearly that if the world were to be vegetarian, it would do the planet a lot of good.

HOST: Welcome, sensitive viewers, to Planet Earth: Our Loving Home. Greenpeace International, a global organization dedicated to protecting the air, water, and sky has offices in over 40 countries spanning Europe, Asia, the Pacific and the Americas.

The group's primary goals are to halt climate change, safeguard our oceans and forests, rid the world of toxic chemicals and stop the use of genetically modified organisms in agriculture.

This week we'll travel to Bangalore, India to meet the charismatic, vegetarian Guruswamy Ananthapadmanabhan, or Ananth for short, who since 2008 has been program director for Greenpeace International. Mr. Ananth is an electrical engineer by training, and also founder and former executive director of Greenpeace India.

Mr. Anantha(m): It's my responsibility to make sure that all the offices of Greenpeace across the world work together in a strategically coordinated manner to achieve the best results for the environment, for the goals we set out. So that's my, broadly my job.

HOST: Our Supreme Master Television correspondent spoke with Mr. Ananth about Greenpeace International's activities, including its work in India. We'll begin by learning about some of the notable achievements of this caring organization.

Mr. Anantha(m): Most refrigerators in the world, at one time, used to have ozone-depleting substances in them. Today, all of them are ozone-free.

Several, companies today also make refrigerators that are ozone- friendly, but not climate-friendly. They've replaced the CFC's (chlorofluorocarbons) with HFC's (hydrochlorofluorocarbons). So but Twenty years ago Greenpeace developed something called "Green Freeze," a refrigerant that is both climate and ozone-friendly.

And we're very happy to say that today, except for one or two companies, most of the companies in the world produce Green Freeze. That's one of the big changes that we've made. The Antarctic protected area, that's a contribution that came from Greenpeace.

Stopping ocean dumping basically, that's another big thing that Greenpeace did. In the last three years, there's been a moratorium on expansion of soya cultivation in the Amazon, again something that Greenpeace did. We got a declaration that palm oil from unsustainable sources would not be bought by the big companies, again a contribution of Greenpeace.

Here in India we basically have brought in several (pieces of) legislations to deal with toxic wastes. Our aim in India here, top aim, would be the government moves away from coal as the backbone of the energy economy.

Oberom C. Silva:Returning to Our Divine Self through Breatharianism (In Portuguese)

SupremeMasterTV — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 16:50:53 +0000

HOST: In script-xures, the human body is often referred to as the temple of God. Yet, it is quite an uncommon privilege for any soul to attain this sacred abode that houses the Divine, as it is truly a blessing to be reborn as a human being. On several occasions, Supreme Master Ching Hai has spoken about the rarity of this phenomenon:

Supreme Master Ching Hai: To be reincarnated in the human world is hard. You have to have enough Human Quality. You have to have affinity with the parents and with the society, with the people around which you are born. Very difficult.

To be a human, you need some merit. You have done something good in the past in order to be able to pick a human birth.

HOST: As a living temple of God, the human body is fully equipped with miraculous wonders that can be awakened in those who are spiritually conscious and have complete faith in the Creator of all life.

Inedia, Latin for “fasting,” is the human ability to live without food. Since time immemorial, there have always been individuals who can sustain themselves on prana, or the vital life force. Through the grace of the Providence, inediates, people who follow a food-free lifestyle, can draw the energy from nature to nourish themselves:

Supreme Master Ching Hai: They live on the chi from the ground, or from the forest, and from the sun and from the air. They make use of all that. Or they live on love, on faith alone.

HOST: These individuals are known as breatharians, solarians, waterians, or pranarians, and they come from all walks of life, from different cultures, and all corners of the world.

Indeed, the possibilities and miracles in this life as our benevolent Creator has designed for us are endless; we only need to connect within to recognize our abounding largess as God’s children.

Supreme Master Ching Hai has lovingly recommended a weekly series on Supreme Master Television to introduce those individuals of the past and present who have chosen to live food-free on Earth. May their spiritual stories enthrall you; may hearts be opened, and horizons be expanded.

We now invite you to join us for part 1 of our 4-part program, “Oberon C. Silva: Returning to Our Divine Self through Breatharianism,” on Between Master and Disciples.

OS(m): People perceive nutrition in physical factors, and I would say this supply is much more subtly present in a field much higher, that is this physical field that nourishes people. So, pranic consciousness or living on light we'll be nourishing at a state of consciousness and, in that case, a state of happiness.

And when we are living this happiness we are creating a vibration in everything, a higher vibration. So, perceiving the world as an organism and we are like planetary cells as we would be raising the vibration of the planet for a more expanded consciousness... higher. And I think it is much more important than to stop eating.

HOST: Greetings, conscientious viewers. Today we visit the vast and multifaceted country of Brazil in Latin America to speak with Oberon Silva, a big-hearted breatharian who has a profound respect for life. Oberon is food-free for nine years.

OS(m): I realize that the vibrational pattern that enters the body when you eat some physical element, if you are in a sustained happiness, it does not vary. If you're caught up in the daily dramas of being a victim, of control, of fear, of suffering - all that you place inside you interferes with your vibration. You become totally vulnerable to external vibrations, the outdoor vibrations.

And it's the same for the environments that you hang out in, the companions that you have, your entertainment, television - everything will bring that dense vibration, each more inferior and will also undermine our energy, and each time that we are linked, we are caught in this circuit of survival, of hunger, of the need to eat.

And this also applies to food. If you eat low-frequency food, of death, pain, suffering, violence, fear, you are entering the vibration of these elements, which are very dense, very low vibrations. So it's hard for you to live this happiness - I'm talking about this continuous happiness, this awareness of being happy.

You live moments of joy here and there and then enter again into this rollercoaster of sensations and feelings. So the main idea that I see, even for the purpose of pranic consciousness, is that the people are established in the consciousness - no longer the ego creating structures, creating games.

Thus you can get out of this ego mechanism of living in the past, living in the future, transiting through pleasures, just watching and being happy with everything, being thankful in the energy of gratitude, which is sublime. Gratitude is divine. It brings this unlimited vibration, a vibration of God.

"All We See is Possibility":The Alalayiha School for the Blind in Palestine (In Arabic)

SupremeMasterTV — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 16:00:56 +0000

Pleasant viewers, welcome to Good People, Good Works. According to World Health Organization statistics, cataracts are the leading cause of blindness in the world, and every five seconds someone loses his or her vision due to this illness or other reasons.

Globally approximately 285-million people are visually impaired, including 39.8 million who are totally blind. http://www.emro.who.int/cpb/facts.htm

On today's program we'll visit the Alalayiha School for the Blind in Beit Jala, Palestine, which provides special education enabling the visually impaired and blind to smoothly integrate into the public education system and develop their talents.

Alalayiha is the first and the oldest school of its kind in the Arab world. Let us now hear more about the school's background from its director, Mr. Mesbah Hijazi. http://www.emro.who.int/cpb/facts.htm

Mr. Mesbah Hijazi(m): This organization is a social-humanitarian institution providing academic and rehabilitative services for blind students or children from the age of six and up to 16 years. It was founded in 1938 in the city of Hebron. And later moved to Ramallah, to Bethlehem, then to Beit Jala where we are now.

The students start here from six years old, from the first grade. They graduate after the ninth grade, so we rehabilitate these students in this period from six years (of age) to 16 to integrate them into their usual school, in the regular school. So they continue in their secondary school in the usual school, with the other usual students, and their university studies also continue as the others.

Haiti’s Own King Wawa: A “Oneness Kingdom” in Music & Arts (In Creole)

SupremeMasterTV — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 15:43:58 +0000

King Wawa (m): I don't eat animals, and also I don't drink, I don't do drugs.
I never liked meat. I never like anything from it, especially cow. I don't like the smell of the milk. I was never interested in that. I influence a lot of people, sometimes without saying anything.

HOST: Greetings tropical sun-lovers, welcome to another exciting edition of Vegetarian Elite. Today, we feature one of the Caribbean's musical stars, Haiti's own King Wawa.

A versatile artist, King Wawa is an accomplished singer, percussionist, guitarist, songwriter, and painter. His mission is to inspire, uplift, and bring joy to people.

His given name “Wawa” means king of kings and reflects his noble nature. The essence of his music stems from African traditions; however, King Wawa truly draws inspiration from the cosmos itself. Recently, Supreme Master Television had the honor of speaking with King Wawa in California, USA.

During the interview, he spontaneously sang a powerful song about love and respect for all life, reminding us all of the importance of living as a true human being.

SupremeMasterTV — Fri, 04 Feb 2011 19:41:09 +0000

With diverse flora and fauna, magnificent natural landscapes, and an ecological biosphere that supports life, this wondrous planet is our earthly home.

From our animal co-inhabitants to the lush rainforests and life-giving soil, we cherish all these as gifts from the Creator.

Animal Agriculture’s Generation of Deadly Black Carbon

SupremeMasterTV — Sat, 29 Jan 2011 18:35:35 +0000

Greetings, eco-loving viewers, and welcome to Planet Earth: Our Loving Home. On today's program we examine the effects of the short-lived climate forcer, Black Carbon, on ice masses and planetary warming, and the role that animal agriculture and deforestation for livestock raising play in intensifying Black Carbon's impact.

Black Carbon, also known as soot, is a powerful warming agent that originates from the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, diesel exhaust, inefficient cook stoves mainly used in developing countries burning biomass such as dried dung, wood, brush, or crop residue as fuel, and the clearing forests and savannas with fire.

When the Black Carbon particles are airborne, they have an intense warming effect, but have an even greater impact when they are deposited on ice masses. This is a major concern and why Black Carbon emissions need to be addressed immediately. Its atmospheric lifespan ranges from one to four weeks and its Global Warming Potential (GWP) over a 20-year timeframe, has been calculated to be between a staggering 1,600 to 4,700 times the warming-power of carbon dioxide.

Black Carbon's warming effect occurs in two ways:
(1) In the atmosphere as black particles absorb sunlight and generate heat; and,
(2) Particles are deposited on the Earth's surface, in particular on ice masses where they reduce the ability of the ice to reflect sunlight back into space and cause rapid melting by generating heat from absorbing sunlight.

Professor Jefferson Simões is the director of the Brazilian National Institute for Cryospheric Sciences and a National Delegate to the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR). He created the first national laboratory in Brazil dedicated to glaciology and geographical polar research, and recently gave an informative presentation on the presence of Black Carbon in Antarctica and its effect on ice masses at the November 3, 2010 Leaders Preserving Our Future: Pace and Priorities on Climate Change conference in London, UK.

Salaam Alikom, kind-hearted viewers, and welcome to Our Noble Lineage. From the island of Java in Indonesia, a message of loving kindness spreads its wings, hopeful for a new era of peace and harmony. Imam Al-Fakir Kyai Haji Muhammad Asnawi from Wonosobo, Central Java, promotes a compassionate lifestyle that begins in every home, at the dining table.

KMA(m): May the peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon you. To the traditional Muslim students whom I love and to all Muslims, I convey messages regarding the food that we eat.

HOST: Imam Al-Fakir Asnawi is one of the administrators and caretakers here at Daarussolihin Boarding School, which houses a mosque with the same name. The school currently teaches and trains 250 Muslim students who aspire to be imams. Imam Al-Fakir Asnawi, a vegetarian himself, believes that eating a meat-free diet is actually an act of devotion to Allah.

KMA(m): It is a worship. As Ibnu Ruslan said, if you have intention and balance it with strong reasoning due to obedience to Allah, then your wish will be granted. Whenever we eat with the intention of devotion, then that intention becomes a devotion as well.

It means that eating has a big value before Allah: there will be merit if our intention in eating is for the sake of the intensity of devotion.

So, on the basis that our ideal is for the sake of devotion, food should be avoided and observed except for food that is tayyib (good and pure) and halal (permissible). Meat is a disease, beef is a disease. It is proven and stated by nutrition experts that the beef available nowadays contain various kinds of diseases.

Therefore, I emphasize again now: it is better to eat vegetarian food - meaning consume food that is produced from vegetables, including those made from soybeans.

The Prophet, May Allah's Blessings and Peace Be With Him, had affirmed that 70% of the prophets in ancient times consumed soybean - some because there are special things and goodness because plants are blessed by Allah, Glory and Exalted He is. It will have benefits for our body.

Moreover, this food acts as a strong foundation for worship. Worshipping with halal (permissible) food, tayyib (good and pure) food will be accepted by Allah, Glory and Exalted He is. As in a Hadith, the Prophet, May Allah's Blessing and Peace Be With Him, said, “How can your prayer be granted if your treasure comes from something that's haram, your food from food that is forbidden?” and “Cleanse yourself of haram goods.”

Bees and Their Contribution to the Ecosphere - Compilation of Supreme Master Ching Hai's lectures

SupremeMasterTV — Sat, 29 Jan 2011 17:20:22 +0000

With diverse flora and fauna, magnificent natural landscapes, and an ecological biosphere that supports life, this wondrous planet is our earthly home.

From our animal co-inhabitants to the lush rainforests and life-giving soil, we cherish all these as gifts from the Creator. It is a common theme in the world’s major faiths that during our temporary stay here, we should be good stewards of Mother Earth. Throughout the years, Supreme Master Ching Hai has shared the message of leading a balanced life while following a spiritual path.

Not only must we nourish our spirits, but we share the responsibility to care for nature and our fellow beings. In light of recent scientific evidence which pinpoint the raising of livestock as the number one contributor to climate change, Supreme Master Ching Hai affirms the important message she has noted for over the past two decades:we must be vegan and practice sustainable

Today we present to you a compilation of excerpts from Supreme Master Ching Hai’s lectures titled “Bees and Their Contribution to the Ecosphere.”

Cameroon: Feeling the Heat of Climate Change (In Kamtok)

SupremeMasterTV — Sun, 16 Jan 2011 12:08:06 +0000

Halo, green-conscious viewers, and welcome to this week's edition of Planet Earth: Our Loving Home featuring the impact of climate change on the Central African nation of Cameroon. As in other countries around the world, warning signs that our planet is seriously out of balance are appearing in Cameroon, and if a fast-approaching tipping point is passed, we will all face runaway global warming. One such frightening sign is Lake Chad, previously Africa's fourth-largest lake, which has shrunk ９０％ in size over the past ４０ years.

Dr. Yinda Godwill, Environmental Science program co-coordinator at the University of Buea in Buea, the capital of Cameroon's Southwest Region, is deeply concerned that climate change is quickly making his homeland a place far different than the one he once knew.

Dr. Yinda Godwill (m): The theory that we have about global warming, effects in Cameroon is that due to global warming, there will be more water evaporating from the sea and that water moves from the sea and rises up through the Cameroon mountain region and cools down there in the clouds and falls down as rain.

Up in the north, the waters in Lake Chad, and other waters that are up in the north would also be evaporating faster than they used to and more water will go up into the atmosphere. Now, what happens is this: Water, when it's in the atmosphere, tries to find itself so water vapor will move to where there is more water vapor.

So, you find out that in Cameroon, in the places where we used to have more rainfall, like in the Southwest here, like in Buea, there is a lot of rainfall, rain falls for a longer periods. This year we've had rain still falling in December, which was something that did not use to be.

By October's end the rain used to finish. We did not have rain again, maybe one little shower in December, but we've had rain falling continuously up till now. As we're talking now, rain clouds are building up, they might fall. And this is not normal; it's not normal. The amount of rainfall is increasing. So, the drier places are getting drier and the wetter places are getting wetter.

Supreme Master TV (m): And what are the implications of this in terms of agricultural productivity, in terms of the economy, in terms of lifestyle in general？

Dr. Yinda Godwill (m): Because of global climate change, Lake Chad basin, Lake Chad has reduced to a very small volume and it's threatening to even disappear. And that is affecting their way of life up there; those who were up there doing farming along that area because the fertility of that place and the water that was there are not operating at maximum (capacity), because the climate has changed. That's how it's affecting us.

HOST: Ni John Fru Ndi, founder and chairman of Cameroon's Social Democratic Front Party is also disturbed by how his nation is fundamentally changing due to the rapidly heating planet.

Ni John Fru Ndi (m): Well, you see for yourself that rains are falling in Cameroon now more than they have ever fallen before. You see that there are landslides; there are floods in Victoria, getting across to Douala and I was told the other day over the BBC that there were floods in Burkina Faso right in the center towards the desert. So, you see that this global warming is affecting the people.

Dr. Steve Blake - Promoting A Natural Way of Life

SupremeMasterTV — Sun, 16 Jan 2011 11:44:23 +0000

Greetings, joyful viewers, and welcome to this week's edition of Healthy Living, the first in a two-part series featuring the nutrition and wellness advice of Dr. Steve Blake, a vegan naturopath, herbalist, neuromuscular therapist, and Doctor of Holistic Health.

Dr. Blake is the author of the books 『Vitamins and Minerals Demystified,』『Healing Medicine』 and 『Understanding Dietary Fats and Oils,』 the creator of health-related software, such as 『Diet Doctor,』 a nutritional analysis program and 『Herb Doctors,』 an electronic compilation of herbal remedies for various health conditions as well as the founder of the College of World Health in Maui, Hawaii, USA. He encourages a natural approach to health with a plant-based diet as its cornerstone.

Dr. Blake(m): It's estimated that every cell in our body is attacked １０,０００ times a day by free radicals, and we have １００ trillion estimated number of cells in our bodies, so that's really quite a lot. Luckily our bodies have two different types of defenses against free radicals. One is the vegetables and fruits that we eat are loaded with antioxidant vitamins, and also with antioxidant bioflavonoids and other polyphenols inside the plants.

Our other system of antioxidant protection involves our internal systems that are designed to scavenge these free radicals and to neutralize them and stop any damaging chain reactions that could happen.

HOST: Many of us have heard that free radicals, or atoms and molecules with unpaired electrons that can cause cell damage, are related to the aging process. Dr. Blake says free radicals are also connected to heart disease and stroke - which according to the World Health Organization are the leading causes of death worldwide.

Dr. Blake (m): Free radicals do cause heart disease and stroke most directly. Heart disease and stroke as you know are caused by atherosclerosis, the clogging of the arteries. And this at the beginning stage can happen from ages two to eight years old when the sides of the arteries are initially damaged and form fatty streaks. This process continues throughout life, and as we become older we become more susceptible to the end product of our atherosclerosis which is either a heart attack or a stroke.

Now when we want to circulate cholesterol in the bloodstream, which is very useful for our bodies, for instance we make steroid hormones like testosterone out of this, when our liver wants to package this cholesterol for circulation in the blood, our liver puts on antioxidant protection in a form of vitamin E.

HOST: When accompanied by this antioxidant, Low-Density Lipoprotein or LDL cholesterol can be beneficial to us. However insufficient amounts of vitamins E and C in the body leads to LDLs becoming oxidized by free radicals, thus injuring us. Dr. Blake(m): LDL will stick to and damage the inside of our arteries leading to atherosclerosis, which leads to heart attack and stroke. And for this purpose lots of fresh fruits and vegetables are very good to take every day. In their raw form is always best.

HOST: What about taking a synthetic vitamin E supplement to avoid harm from free radicals？ Is this the equivalent to eating vitamin E rich foods for protection？ Dr. Blake(m): Synthetic vitamin E contains eight different isomers. Isomers are similar molecules but different shapes. This isomer is not an antioxidant but is present in synthetic vitamin E. So let's say that your liver grabs some of these and puts them on the LDLs to circulate - no protection at all.

The Alola Foundation: Embracing the Women and Children of Timor-Leste

SupremeMasterTV — Sun, 16 Jan 2011 11:30:50 +0000

Alola adopted the motto of 『Strong Women, Strong Nation.』 The entire country can be strong with the full participation of women in every aspect of national development and in every aspect of social and cultural life.

Halo, respected viewers, and welcome to Good People, Good Works. Timor-Leste, a country located on the eastern end of Timor Island in Southeast Asia, is known as the 『world's youngest nation』 as it became independent in ２００２.

Today, we'll go to Dili, the capital, to visit the Alola Foundation, a nonprofit organization that promotes the rights of women and children and nurtures women as leaders. The Foundation was established in ２００１ by the nation's first First Lady Ms. Kristy Sword Gusmão, who is the wife of His Excellency Xanana Gusmão, Prime Minister of Timor-Leste. She currently serves as the Foundation's chairwoman.

She is also the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Goodwill Ambassador for Education and is the chair of the UNESCO National Commission for Timor-Leste.

http:／／easttimorlegal.blogspot.com／２０１０／０７／national-languages-conference-５-to-６.html http:／／embaixadoraedukasaun.blogspot.com／ (interview in English) (Ms. Kristy Sword Gusmão = female) Ms. Kristy Sword Gusmão (f): Women and children are amongst the most vulnerable sections of society both here in Timor-Leste and in many countries, and they often lack the political clout to actually have a voice, and to be able to articulate their special needs.

And this is the problem not only here in Timor, but all around the world. So we need to pay special attention, and ensure that women and children do have a voice, do have a say in issues affecting their lives, including policy, government legislation; these are all really important issues for the future of a country.

The １３２-member strong Foundation staff works hard to provide a range of services to the women and children of Timor-Leste, offering programs through the following four departments:

Abir Alsayed: The Heart of a Compassionate Syrian Filmmaker (In Arabic)

SupremeMasterTV — Sun, 16 Jan 2011 11:15:02 +0000

From the United Arab Emirates a flower of compassion blossoms, reaching the hearts of those she touches with her fragrance of kindness. On today's Vegetarian Elite, it is our pleasure to introduce to you that beautiful flower of the desert, Abir Alsayed, a vegan director and producer for Hot Spot Films in Dubai.

Ms. Alsayed also works as an independent filmmaker, freelancing for Al Jazeera, a leading international Arabic news network based in Doha, Qatar.

(In Arabic) Abir (f): There are a lot of wishes that one hopes to achieve in life. On the professional level, I would like to evolve more as a director and do films on a larger scale. Of course, thank God, I'm now working for a channel that has millions of viewers. However, there is still the dream to make movies to reach the largest number of people through festivals and the like - and to make movies that have issues that are really important to me.

HOST: As a documentary filmmaker, Ms. Alsayed writes, “Films are a tool of change, they are a tool for the voiceless to be heard.” Today on our show, as throughout most of her life, Ms. Alsayed speaks out for the many voiceless - our beloved animal co-inhabitants.

In fact, her love for life is an intrinsic quality that has flowered within her heart from a very young age. Abir (f): I'm a vegetarian. I cannot say how long because I've been a vegetarian since I was born. When I was young, they kept asking me to eat meat. I did not see it as meat, but as an animal, not food. He is a being that has a life, children, and has... I did not look at it as something could be placed in a dish to be eaten.

HOST: In spite of being the only vegetarian in her family, Ms. Alsayed stayed strong in her conviction to have no part in the taking of animal lives while growing up.

Abir (f): I am originally from Syria. In Syria, there is a lot of vegetarian food, but they always consider it as appetizers being offered before the main meal. The main meal is always meat. When I was little and my family was invited somewhere, when they gave me food and saw that I ate only the vegetarian dishes, they'd say, “You did not eat anything!” You must eat meat in order to be considered that you ate well. So my situation developed further due to the love for animals or the aversion to live on [another's] blood. So, frankly, I can live relying on vegetables, not on blood for nourishment.

How Smart are Chimpanzees? Ask Dr. Tetsuro Matsuzawa! (In Japanese)

SupremeMasterTV — Sun, 16 Jan 2011 08:51:50 +0000

Graceful viewers, welcome to Animal World: Our Co-Inhabitants. Today's show is the first in a two-part series where we explore the intelligence of chimpanzees and their sophisticated social structures with Dr. Tetsuro Matsuzawa, director of Kyoto University's Primate Research Institute in Inuyama City, Japan.

He has spent over three decades studying wild chimpanzees and made significant discoveries regarding their abilities and skills. He has published many books and papers based on his findings. Dr. Matsuzawa is also known for pioneering a new field of research called 『comparative cognitive science』 which involves studying chimpanzees for clues as to how human intelligence and behavior evolved over time.

Dr. Tetsuro Matsuzawa (m): The chimpanzee is the most intimate being, and can be called an evolutionary neighbor for a man. If we can understand a chimpanzee well, we can also understand animals other than human beings.

HOST: For his important research work on chimpanzees, Dr. Matsuzawa received the Prince Chichibu Memorial Science Award in １９９１, the Jane Goodall Award in ２００１, and the Medal with a Purple Ribbon from the Japanese government in ２００４. Let us now learn more about his study of these primates in Africa.

Supreme Master TV (f): We hear that you go to Africa every year. And you are also studying the social behavior of wild chimpanzees. First of all, please explain to us their family structure and how they live in the forests.

Dr. Tetsuro Matsuzawa (m): Chimpanzees live only in Africa. They exist nowhere else but the equatorial forests of Africa and areas of savanna surrounded by these forests. Their habitats are distributed widely from Tanzania in the east to Guinea or Senegal in the west. Their family or their society is mostly made up of tens of chimpanzees or sometimes over a hundred. So they live together in groups. The group consists of multiple male and female adult chimpanzees, and of course their children.

Male baby chimpanzees stay among the group all their lives. But female chimpanzees leave the group or transfer to the next or nearby group whenever they reach adulthood or enter puberty and are ready to give birth. We call it a paternal society meaning a society built on fathers.
