Increasingly, the world’s public, media and government are supporting the life-promoting and wholesome plant-based lifestyle. As highlighted by US congressman and vegan Dennis J. Kucinich, being veg is the prime decision to a better life.

Dennis J. Kucinich, US Congressman, Vegan (M): What does it mean to be a vegan? For me it’s been one of the most important decisions in my life. It’s enabled me to have increased clarity and vitality. And it’s given me a joy of life.

VOICE: Bob Linden, the celebrated host of Go Vegan Radio, recently launched the first-ever Vegan Earth Day on June 21 with a festival that included the “Vegan Earth Day for A Vegan World” conference.

The Los Angeles-based television station KTLA reported on this special event in their evening news.
Supreme Master Ching Hai was invited as the guest of honor, and although her busy schedule did not permit her to personally attend, she graciously shared her insights about society’s advancement toward ideal moral values through an inspirational video message.

Supreme Master Ching Hai: There was a time when humans killed other humans – even just to eat. Now, doing so is a crime. We call it murder – people killing people, the most heinous crime of all crimes.
Today, people kill animals to eat.

But now humanity is being called to an even more elevated and compassionate moral level of conduct: A future day is dawning where killing animals, too, shall be called a crime.


VOICE: Distinguished guests also had some questions about veganism for Supreme Master Ching Hai, whose responses were delivered by representatives of our Association.

Supreme Master Ching Hai: World peace starts with ourselves. We must first cultivate ourselves, then take care of our family, then we can govern our country, and pacify the world. And the lifestyle of a vegan diet is most peaceful. 

VOICE: Supreme Master Ching Hai’s elevating remarks resonated with many conference participants.

Executive director of Medicines Global, Vegan (F): I think what Master had to say was critically important because she not only touched on the importance of global warming but on the, all the other areas of alcohol consumption and drugs and all of those things that are really killing people.

Conference Participant (F): I want to thank Supreme Master Ching Hai for being a spiritual leader. She actually has a vision for everybody to be living a peaceful life on this Earth.

VOICE: We also convey our gratitude to Supreme Master Ching Hai for her illuminating encouragement for all to take the life-saving action of being veg. We can’t wait to see the day when all life flourishes in a carefree Eden on Earth.

Please tune in to Supreme Master Television for a full rebroadcast of this conference at a later date, with multi-language subtitles on Words of Wisdom.
