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 is 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 a 7-part series titled, “Spread the Veg Message to
Protect Life,” 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.
