The next question is from Mr. Dagba Andre, an accountant in Benin.
Mr. Dagba Andre: Thank You, Master. For those who know what You are doing for the whole humanity, it will never be enough for us to say “Thank You.” That is why I humbly come to say, “Thank You, Master.” Dear Master, the theme of our conference is “Be Organic Vegan to Save the Planet.” However, what do we notice? Nowadays, teenagers are not interested, or rather not anymore, in social issues, but rather in fashion and trends. In Your opinion, Master, how can we, as teachers, deliver the SOS message on climate change in a way that appeals to them? Thank You, Master. (Thank you.)
Master: Yes, Monsieur Dagba, hallo there. It’s very nice that you are concerned and here with us today. I’m so happy to hear of your wish to inform your students about saving the planet because it is their present and future home, and they may want to do so, they may want to do something to help. It seems that teenagers are more interested in fashion and other things rather than the urgent situation right now. But they also often are the most open-minded people.
They are intelligent, they are easy, they are an impressionable and honest group of people. Once they make a connection of global warming to their lives, they may really decide to do something. You will be surprised. Especially if they understand that what they do can truly make a difference, they may be the first ones to take action. They just need a good leader like you. Two very recent studies found young persons to be the ones most likely to volunteer and give of themselves. This is just saying that the young persons of this age have a lot of energy and can be some of the most caring people.
So you can encourage them by helping them find active ways to show their care and love. You can also help them see how urgent global warming really is. Show them the human side of global warming, the true stories of people and animal(-people) who suffer because of this. For example, the families in island nations who have to move, or plan to move, because they see the water coming to submerge their houses, or in some cases, already did due to the rising sea level. Or, how the inhumane treatment of animal(-people) in slaughterhouses or in cosmetic experiments – there are many films about this. We have shown them on Supreme Master Television.
This is unimaginable cruelty. This is beyond human moral standard. It is below our dignity to treat animal(-people) this way. So, if you show them some of this truth about how animal(-people) suffer for the humans’ palate, you will awaken in the students their compassionate nature and they will decide to do something about it.
Or, you can show also how the migrating bird(-people) have to fly farther and farther to find a place to nest, and the polar bear(-people) swim longer and longer now because there is no more ice, until sometimes they drown from exhaustion. Or, why the neighboring country has had so many floods in recent years, so many disasters, etc., etc…
Tell them how climate change is affecting real lives, real animal(-people), real people, and their own lives as well. Then, the young ones will realize that halting climate change comes before all else – before everything that is important to them in this world, even before their job, before money, and even before having fun – because without a stable climate and a living planet, no one would be able to enjoy the things that we want to enjoy, or get to do the things that we want to do. So, it’s also important to show the young people that there is still hope; we can still save the planet.
You can tell them this: It’s a chance that they can be true heroes, by being vegan and spreading the news of this solution. They can save lives, including their own, but also of people all over the world, and countless animal(-people) lives around the world. If you explain all the benefits of being vegan for personal, for the animal(-people), for the hungry people, for the starving children – they will love it and they will be so excited, because they know they can really make a difference. The young people are oftentimes the most ready to change their lifestyle if they see a reason for it. Their age group is also, in many cases, the first one to see that veganism is good, is correct.
So, I think if we explain to them logically how it is the most important action to solve global warming, they will be motivated. They will support you. They will be behind you. They will do it. Thank you, Monsieur Dagba. God bless you and your students. You come from Benin, yes. God bless your country Benin as well. (Thank You, very much, Master, for Your answer.)
The next question is from Mr. Akpabla Prosper. He is a mechanical engineer, quality control at the company NIOTO.
Mr. Akpabla Prosper: Hallo, Master. I would like to sincerely thank You for everything You’ve done to save all of humanity from natural disasters. I have a small question unrelated to my occupation, but related to our beliefs. The question is: In our circle, some think that global warming is a punishment from the gods. How can the vegan diet calm the gods? Thank You very much, Master. (Thank you.)
Master: Hallo, Monsieur Akpabla. I’m glad you asked this question.
It is understandable that people would think of global warming as a punishment. In a way, it maybe. However, it is not really a punishment from Heaven, or from the gods, but a consequence of our actions. Global warming follows the universal principle that every action brings a response, or we could say, a consequence.
So, if humanity acts in ways that are considerate and kind, the Universe will bring consideration and kindness in return. Just like if you plant a seed of an apple, you will have apples in return. If we plant a seed of the thorny bush we will have a thorny bush as a result. So, any action that involves killing will bring the same to the one who invokes it. This law is very precise. The (animal-people) meat diet means the denying of life and, consequently, we will reap the same. But the vegan diet is an offering of life, so it will be pleasing to the gods. Therefore, its reward also will be the same – a protected life.
So, you are correct to say that the vegan diet calms everything, our own God inside included. The peace-loving vegan diet brings calm to ourselves, to the animal(-people), and to the world. This is why it is the true solution for global warming. Not only does the vegan diet remove harmful methane from the atmosphere, on a deeper level, it removes the killing actions and replaces them with kindness so that the entire planet becomes filled with this essential goodness, positive benevolent energy. And then surely, the gods will also be pleased, forever after. Thank you, Mr. Akpabla. God bless you. (Thank You, Supreme Master [Ching Hai].) You’re welcome.
