Everywhere in the world,
we can observe
and be touched
by acts of kindness.
People from all walks of
life, faiths, and cultures
extend themselves
beyond the call of duty
to help others
unconditionally.
Through their noble deeds,
humanity as a whole
is elevated.
To commend
virtuous actions and
encourage more people
to be inspired
by their examples,
Supreme Master
Ching Hai
has lovingly created
a series of awards,
including the Shining
World Leadership
Award, Shining World
Compassion Award,
Shining World Hero and
Heroine Awards, Shining
World Honesty Award,
Shining World Protection
Award, Shining World
Intelligence Award,
and Shining World
Inventor Award,
to recognize some
of the most exemplary,
generous, caring,
and courageous people
who walk amongst us.
It is one man’s
unwavering belief
that the time has come
to protect the Earth, and
that more and more people
than ever before
are stepping up
to the challenge.
Today there is a shift
in consciousness
happening on the planet,
a global “mind change”
if you like;
people are starting
to awaken to not just
what is happening
on the planet but also
to their own power, and
to their own knowledge
and wisdom.
And this awareness,
if you like, this movement,
this people movement,
is the fastest growing,
and the largest movement
in the history of humanity,
and I mean ever.
Charismatic
environmentalist
and committed vegan,
Bobsy, believes the key
to changing the world
is within.
He spoke during
an October 2009
climate change conference
in Hong Kong
which brought together
speakers from China,
Formosa (Taiwan), and
Hong Kong, and invited
Supreme Master Ching Hai
as the honored guest.
The healing of the Earth
and the healing
of the human spirit
are one and the same.
I will say it again.
The healing of the Earth
and the healing
of the human spirit
are one and the same.
Neither can be achieved
without the other.
I am not here to talk
about all these symptoms
and disasters that
our planet Earth is facing,
today right here, right now.
We all know them.
Everyone here in this room
knows the symptoms.
But we are the root cause
of the problem.
We are also the genesis
of the solution.
We created this mess,
we can solve it right here,
right now.
And by going vegan
it’s the immediate thing
we can do.
Having grown up
in Lebanon
and the United Kingdom,
Bobsy moved
to Hong Kong in 1989.
He has since then
cooperated and supported
the building of
many green organizations
and charity groups.
In 1994 he founded
a non-profit organization
called A Better
Living Environment,
or the ABLE Charity.
The ABLE Charity
initiated a project
to plant trees on
the barren northern hills
of Lamma Island,
which is located
in the South China Sea.
The Lamma Forest
has been growing
and thriving now
for more than a decade.
Bobsy is the co-founder
of the Life Organic
Health Vegetarian Café
in Hong Kong.
He also established
Positive News Hong Kong,
a newspaper featuring
constructive news stories.
In March 2009,
Mr. Bobsy led the launch
of the “Save The Human!”
campaign
to inspire a movement
encouraging people
to change to
a plant-based lifestyle.
This climate-change
awareness initiative takes
the form of a creative,
informative, short video,
which spreads the word
about the most urgent issue
of our time
through websites such as
YouTube and popular
social networking sites.
Don’t eat the planet!
Don’t eat the planet!
Because eating is
something we do three,
four, five, six, seven times a day,
365 times a year
and so on.
It has the biggest impact.
So we have to
become aware of this.
It is us who is literally
eating the planet.
So in our campaign,
we say,
“Don’t eat the planet.
Don’t eat the planet.
Go Veggie!
Change the world!
Be part of the solution, and
not be part of the problem.”
6.7 Billion people
live here…
60 Billion farmed animals
live here…
Where is the food
coming from to feed them!?
Where is
their waste going!?
At what
ecological expense!?
At what
humanitarian expense!?
At what expense
to our children!?
This is the world's
inconvenient truth.
One vegetarian in an SUV
is more eco friendly
than a meat eater
on a bicycle.
Save the human!
38% of the world's grain
is fed to animals.
Save the human!
1.1 billion people
in the world
do not have access
to clean water
while 20,000 liters
is used for just
1 pound of beef.
Save the human!
Change your diet!
Don’t change the climate.
Change your diet.
Save the human.
Save the human!
The Save the Human!
campaign has generated
significant impact
on the media
as well as other forms
of communication.
Well-known
Chinese media outlets
such as the newspaper
Mingpao and New Wave
online
have been paying close
attention to the growth
of the Save the Human!
initiative.
The video has also won
the South China Morning
Post Documentary Award
at a recent annual film
festival in Hong Kong.
It is, in my humble opinion,
the most important
challenge facing
humanity today because
it is the least understood,
it is the least known of all
global causes of pollution:
our consumption of
animals, both meat, fish
and dairy.
By reducing
our consumption we have
an immediate impact
on the levels of pollution
happening globally.
So I urge everyone
to go vegetarian,
even better become vegan
and eat organic foods.
Not just for the benefit of
humanity and the planet
but also
for your own health,
your own wellbeing;
because
as you change yourself
so you change the world.
I would like to
thank everyone who has
supported this campaign
especially my colleagues,
Eve Chan and Bosco
and Will and Christine
and Winnie,
all the beautiful people
out there who have really
helped make this campaign
so influential.
I thank everyone
who is making the change,
everyone
who is becoming veggie;
because
this is a noble cause,
this is the best thing
we can do today
as human beings.
Thank you.

lauded recipient of
the Shining World
Hero Award.

What are you
personally doing
to change the world?
What are you
personally doing
to change the world?
Save the human!
We are all connected;
our planet reflects it.
We must, must respect it,
and never neglect it.
As humans alive today,
in the year 2009,
if we are to make an impact,
if we are to be the change
we wish to see in the world,
then please,
please become veggie.
It is an easy thing to do,
it’s much easier than
waking up every morning
and going to the gym,
waking up every morning
to practice yoga.
It is one of the easiest
changes we can do;
and as someone who is
in the restaurant world,
I can tell you,
more and more restaurants
all over the world
are offering larger choice
for vegetarians.
There’s no excuse anymore
not to become veggie.
It is easy,
it is much easier
than you might think,
it is much healthier,
you’re eating cleaner food
and please eat organic
and support the
whole organic movement
because
if we don’t support it
then who will?
And some people say
the cost of organic food
is more expensive,
yes, today, but
hopefully not tomorrow;
as the demand increases
so the prices come down
and we’re already starting
to see these changes.
Time is of essence;
we have to move in unison,
we have to move together.
In recognition of his
wholehearted dedication
and inspirational efforts
of promoting
the compassionate
lifestyle change,
Bobsy was honored
with the Shining World
Hero Award from
Supreme Master Ching Hai
during the Hong Kong
climate change conference.
Honored guest
Supreme Master Ching Hai
was present
via videoconference
to attend the ceremony.
In addition to
the crystal plaque,
a donation of
US$2,000 from
Supreme Master Ching Hai
was presented
as a gesture of support
for the campaign’s
good cause.
Bobsy also received
his specially designed
Hero jacket.
Thank you,
Supreme Master
and everybody.
It’s been 20 years
of working for the planet
and our time has come now.
Now is the time.
I expect you all to
reduce your consumption
of meat and dairy
on Monday morning.
Reduce it, you’ll have
an immediate impact.
We have to change,
and change is not easy.
Change takes
a lot of courage.
Above all, we must believe
what we know.
We know
the planet is dying.
We must believe
what we know and
we must act on our belief
if we ever stand a chance
of saving the planet.
A change takes courage,
a lot of courage.
“And we must be the change
we wish to see
in the world today,”
as the great
Mahatma Gandhi said.
“Be the change you wish
to see in the world.”
Thank you. Namaste.
Supreme Master Ching Hai
warmly extended
her well wishes to Bobsy.
Congratulations, Bobsy.
You are our hero.
Your name is Hero.
You deserve
all the happiness
And you deserve to have
more and more awards
like this.
This is just
a symbolic gesture
to show our gratitude to
some of the heroes like you.
Your name begins with H.
H-E-R-O.
Mr. Bobsy Hero.
And I am very happy to
know some person like you.
If there are more people
like you, I am sure
our planet will be saved
and our future generation
will thank you immensely.
If everyone
changes their heart
through your effort,
through our little
humble contribution,
then our world
will become paradise
in no time.
Thanks for doing
what you are doing,
and I wish you
the best of success
in your lofty endeavors.
(Namaste.)
My feeling for receiving
the Shining World
Hero Award
was hard to explain
actually to put it into words,
but it was
a beautiful, heartfelt,
very special moment for me.
I wasn’t expecting
the award,
and to receive it
from Master Ching Hai,
to be acknowledged
after so long,
was very heartfelt
and very emotional.
So putting it into words
is quite difficult,
but I’m very, very happy
and very, very honored
to be receiving
this award, especially
when so many
distinguished global citizens
have received this award
before me.
I’m very honored to receive
the Shining World
Hero Award. Thank you.
Dedicated Bobsy,
we thank you
for your noble campaign
and shining example
that have reached
the lives of many people
and shown them
the powerful solution
in their hands.
Wishing you the best,
let us continue
to work together
in the same direction
till the day
we greet a truly peaceful,
harmonious world.

one by one … Yeah!

the whole world
