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 vegetarian,meaning an animal-free diet, and practice sustainable living.
Today
we present to you part 1 of a 4-part series titled “Live a Life of
Conscience and Love,” a compilation of excerpts from Supreme Master
Ching Hai’s discussions concerning the detrimental impacts of the meat
diet on human health, the environment, and, ultimately, the health of
our planet.
