In light of the urgency of curbing climate change, Supreme Master Ching Hai compassionately held a series of videoconferences in July and August, Golden Year 5 (2008) with our Association members around the world to answer their questions. Centers involved included those from the United States, Germany, Âu Lac, Thailand, Formosa, Korea, Australia and New Zealand. In addition, Master graciously accepted interviews from Mr. James Ehrlich, producer of The Hippy Gourmet TV Show, Dr. Gabriel Cousens, on his program called Dialogues with Gabriel, and Mr. James Bean, producer and host of Spiritual Awakening Radio.

The discussions focused on the spiritual implications of global warming and vegetarianism, and how we can respond. Master reminded the audience of the deeper purpose of endeavors to save the planet and to mobilize the power of our leaders as a crucial and effective part of the solution. Master encourages everyone to continue spreading the news, because, “the more vegetarian people, the less killing of the animals, the more time we have to rescue the planet and the lives on the planet.” She reminded everyone to carry all the related information and give it to people whenever we can to inform them about the harmful consequence of the meat diet. Master also requested all like-minded compassionate individuals or groups to join in this noble task of helping save this beautiful planet and all its inhabitants.

In one of the latest conferences with Seoul Center , Korea, Master mentioned that if everyone works hard, we will reach the critical mass, or the minimum of 900 million people becoming vegetarian, in half a year. She further explained in the conference with New Zealand that reaching the critical mass is the only the beginning: “We still need 2/3 of the planet minimum to be vegetarian in order to change the direction of the planet, restore the order of the Earth, repair the damage that we have done to the planet. …And I just hope that after we reached the critical mass, maybe within 2.5 years, 3 years, the planet population will be wholly, mostly influenced by this critical mass energy and then we might be happy then.” At the time of the New Zealand conference, Master said we already have 800 million people who are vegetarian.

In the conference with Supreme Master TV staff, Master was asked a question about whether Mars experienced an accelerated climate change. Our beloved Master confirmed that people on Mars did have a chance to save their planet, but they didn’t do it “because they did not know about the vegetarian diet that could change. At that moment, there were not enough people to stand up and communicate the urgency of the planet as well as the solution, like the vegetarian diet, the way we are doing now.” Therefore, if we don’t act now, our Earth may share a similar fate as Mars. Master then poignantly reminded us that we must “… return to the original loving and virtuous self. Go veg, go green, pray, and meditate … we will have to rely on Heaven’s grace if we are to survive.” She concluded, “When spiritual consciousness develops for all the people on the planet, then we can call that planet a civilized planet.”

In response to a question from a Korean initiate about whether there were times in the past when lions ran and played together with the lambs as described in the Bible, and if such a day would ever come in the future. Master replied, “It was like that in some past, not always in the past history of humankind here on this planet, but in the long distant past. Now, if all the human beings become vegetarian, then the whole atmosphere of the Earth will change. The magnetic field will change. The destiny of all the inhabitants will change for the better. And the animals will also stop eating meat. And truly the lamb will lie at the side of the lions as it is mentioned in the Bible, if all the people turn to vegetarianism … That day might come soon. Who knows? Be positive!”

During one of the latest conferences with the Sydney Center, Australia, Master revealed that the time to save the planet had increased to four years and six months. But, if people don’t change their way of life to a nobler and more compassionate style, then the disasters will take their course. Master said that She felt positive that the majority of people will change, and “I only need 2/3 of the planet population that change, and then we can save the world and repair the planet.”

Through the series of conferences, the initiates have gained new insight about the current condition of the planet and are more determined to continue their endeavors to save our beautiful planet. We look forward to a time on this Earth when all Her inhabitants, humans and animals alike, are compassionate, healthy and happy vegetarians.
