I think we should not mess with the nature’s law of karma (retribution), because every action brings an equal reaction. This means that if we bring no harm to other beings, in this case being vegan, then no harm will come to us. But if we kill, we will be killed. But the thing is, nowadays, many people try to do this so-called genetically modified food, so sometimes we eat vegan food and we don’t even know that there are animal-people substances in it.

(Our next honorable guest is Ms. Natalie Wong, a primary school teacher.) Welcome! (Hallo, Supreme Master Ching Hai.) Hallo.
(I’d like to ask: Nowadays a lot of vegetables and fruits are inserted with genes, which helps some crops to grow better by resisting some insects or the influence of weather. I’d like to ask, if vegetarians [vegans] eat this kind of vegetables and fruits what impact will there be?) You mean the GMO, the genetically modified food? Yes? (Yes. Yes, Master.)
OK, understand. Yes, this is not too good, is it? Thank you for your thoughtful question and your concern. You’re right. There is a very direct connection between (animal-people) meat consumption and swine flu as well, and most other human diseases. And the same if we put animal-people in our vegetable products; it will affect us in many ways.
I think we should not mess with the nature’s law of karma (retribution), because every action brings an equal reaction. This means that if we bring no harm to other beings, in this case being vegan, then no harm will come to us. But if we kill, we will be killed. But the thing is, nowadays, many people try to do this so-called genetically modified food, so sometimes we eat vegan food and we don’t even know that there are animal-people substances in it. And does it affect us? Yes, it does, (Yes.) if that’s what you mean. It does affect us. Not just from a physical perspective, but also spiritual as well.
Scientifically speaking, (animal-people) meat is more and more being linked to diseases of all kinds – with cholesterol, obesity, heart disease and strokes. (Animal-people) meat consumption has now been linked to more than one kind of cancer and even has been shown to directly cause cancers, just like bowel cancer, etc. So, if we put (animal-people) meat or animal(-people) substances into vegetables, then we will also have similar effects, more or less.
I think we should not mess with Nature and play God. Whatever Nature has already offered to us, that is good enough. We should just be thankful and keep it that way, because if we mess it up, we will probably “inherit” more than we bargain for. There might be more incurable diseases that come from GMOs that we don’t even know will happen yet. Right now, even if we just eat the normal (animal-people) meat and we have so many incurable diseases already, if we mix it (animal-people genes) with vegetables, maybe we will have more incurable diseases and more strange diseases that we don’t even know how to deal with in the future. So, it’s better to have the organic vegan farming method. Thank you. (Thank You, Master. Thank You for Your advice. And thank you, Natalie.) Thank you.
(And now, we have another guest, Mr. Moosa Al-Issa. He’s also a vegetarian [veg advocate], and he’s the Managing Director and Executive Chef of Life Organic Vegetarian Café in Hong Kong.) (Hallo!) Hallo there!
(Supreme Master, I have a simple question. If feeding and saving the planet, if veganism is the solution, then how can we help make going veg and being vegan the next big trend?) Good question! Good question!
Yeah. That is our concern right now, Mr. Al-Issa, a nice name. And you’re good-looking too, (Thank you.) being vegetarian and all. Thanks. I appreciate that. You see, look at him? Up to now, many vegan people have stood up and asked questions, you see how tall, big, healthy, handsome they are? Have you? (Yes.) (Yes.) Good, good. Can you stand up again and have a look around?
Do everything to advertise, that’s what you wanted. You asked me a question, how to advertise it, and you are the answer too. You’re part of the answer. Now, I’m very happy with your positive approach. I’m proud of you, and thank you for being the big trend yourself.
You are right; the solution to feeding and saving the planet is veganism. Now, in terms of saving the planet, I have mentioned already many times the greenhouse gas emissions from the livestock industry, which are the primary cause of global warming. So, if everyone in the world puts down the animal-people products, we will immediately have a cooler planet.
Not only that, we will also have greater intelligence and better health and creativity available to create more green technologies and other things that bring ease and comfort to humans and enhance our planet.
And to feed the planet, veganism is also the answer because our food supply goes so much farther if it’s distributed directly to people instead of going through animal-people first. So please, tell everybody this. Put up posters in your café, send emails on the Internet to explain all this to people.
This is not depriving the animal(-people), either! Without livestock raising, there will be fewer cattle(-people), fewer pig(-people) and goat-, sheep- and chicken(-people), but the ones that are alive will have quality lives, quality treatment and will be valued rather than eaten. The male chicks will be able to live, instead of being killed because they don’t lay eggs. And the hen-people won’t be mistreated with practices like debeaking, which does happen even with the so-called “free-range” bird (-people). Their beaks are cruelly cut off, leaving the young chicks in extreme pain that you wish you don’t ever have on yourself.
That has been scientifically proven even, based on the type of tissue that is cut. After debeaking, the bird (-people) are unable to feed properly, much less clean themselves, meaning they cannot preen themselves or engage in other natural foraging activities.
A vegan world would free all bird (-people) from such senseless cruelty. And if we are not drinking (animal-people) milk, the cow-people will be able to raise their babies rather than losing the babies when they’re born, with the mother painfully hooked up to a machine every day for her milk to be taken away for humans to drink, until she doesn’t produce enough anymore. Then she will be murdered for (animal-people) meat.
So, Chef Al-Issa, to make being vegan the next big trend, we can spread this message in different ways, in all ways possible. We have Supreme Master TV, whose vegan programs and recipes you could freely use also. I’m sure you have many already. In case you want some more exotic recipes from different countries, and you can use them freely and distribute them.
And they are available freely, at no cost, at www.SupremeMasterTV.com/VEG. Or you can log onto any of our websites or ask our Association members to help you find it or download it for you. You could even broadcast the channel in your café. You can offer cooking classes as well, or ask our members to help you to offer cooking classes, free of charge. Any time, they’d be willing to do it.
For a farther-reaching effect, you can contact government officials by writing and letting them know the facts about this dire global situation, with all the information available on our website for you to download and copy and send. Along with your knowledge of a solution, you can circulate petitions to gather more support, as well as distribute flyers so that more and more people are informed – in your coffee shop, or anytime you like, and/or through the Internet.
And can also remind them to make the choice toward the life- and planet-saving vegan diet. These are just some of the ways. We would be honored if you join in this noble mission, Chef Al-Issa. Heaven bless your noble heart and efforts. Wishing you success, big success. (Thank You.) Thank you. (Thank You, Master.) (Let’s make being vegan our next big trend. Thank you very much, Mr. Al-Issa.) Yes. (Thank you.)
(Master, our next honorable guest is Ms. Hao Yuan Li, who is a [vegan] and a Chinese language teacher.) So many vegetarians (vegans) today. I am happy. (Hallo, Master.) Hallo. (Hallo, Master.)
(Supreme Master Television recently aired a series of programs about breatharians and fruitarians, which let us have a new understanding about the willpower and endurance of human beings. Relying on our faith in God, our body can do without food, let alone the need for killing to sustain our lives. Global warming has already caused extreme weather all over the world, and the food crisis is getting more and more serious. Is this the right time to try becoming breatharians or waterians? I would like to ask for Master’s kind advice.) Hallo. Hallo. (Hallo, Master.) Thank you. Thank you for your good question. Good question. (Thank You, Master.)
Thanks for bringing this interesting subject up. Your question about these exceptional personages are some holy people – the fruitarians, solarians, breatharians, waterians, and so on – meaning the people who do not require much to live in the physical body, sometimes just a little fruit, or sometimes a little water, or sometimes nothing, just the air or the Love of God.
So now, to respond to your question about whether we should all begin such a practice as eating air – breatharian, meaning eating air to live – that is not really necessary yet. Besides, I don’t think anybody would like to listen to me sitting here telling them, “Please, don’t eat anything anymore from today, just take air.” I think they would not like to hear that.
You see, we show all kinds of possibilities on Supreme Master Television. Sometimes I see something interesting, so I advise them to please show it to other people for knowledge, to widen our horizon, of knowing different things. And then maybe we would like to make different choices accordingly. But I would not advise all the people to be breatharian – meaning eating air to live – because first of all, they are not even familiar with the vegetarian or vegan diet yet.
It’s so difficult already to tell them to eat vegetables and to eat vegetable protein even, which is healthier, happier, cheaper and good for the planet. It’s still so not easy to tell them already. Now if you tell me to advise them to be just eating air to live, I think I’d be out of here in two seconds.
Let’s be more lenient, more practical, take it slowly, one step at a time. Now, if you are vegan, I’m already very, very grateful; the whole planet will be thankful to you already.
