Q: Master, are the recent disasters around the world somehow connected with the billions of animals slaughtered every year for human consumption?

M: Of course they are. “As you sow, so shall you reap,” and “Like attracts like.” Scientifically and spiritually speaking, we have been warned. So, all the disasters that have happened around the world, of course are connected with humans’ unkindness to their co-inhabitants. That’s the price we have to pay for what we have done to the innocents who have done us no harm, who are also the children of God, who have been sent to Earth to help us and to cheer our days. Because, generally, humans also had very good merit before they came to Earth. That’s why they became human, because of their good merit. So, from their good merit, there has been give and take and deductions and additions. Otherwise, if things had not been canceling out some of the bad retribution, then it would have been worse. Or the Earth might have disappeared altogether already, but luckily the humans also do have some good merit, and it has not run out yet. That’s why we are still hanging in here.

Q: Master, if the world were to go 100% vegetarian right now, what kind of Earth would we live in and what effect would this have on the world economy? Also, how great would the changes be and how long would it take to see the effects of these changes on our environment?

M: If the world were to go 100% vegetarian right now, the good effect of it would be seen within more or less 60 days, or 8 weeks. Within 8 weeks we would see an immediate effect. Of course, you’ll also see almost immediately. But to see the whole big picture, you can realize it within 8 short weeks. And what kind of Earth would we live in? It would be Eden again. We will have sudden peace, and sudden realization of sameness between all nations, between all humans and between humans and animals. The realization will dawn upon us. There’s no need for explanation; people will suddenly understand that we’re all equal. We and all co-inhabitants, animals alike, are equal. And people will have respect even for trees and plants.

I really wish that we could have it right now. Things will be more lushful and abundant. People will feel happier, even without reason; they will not know why they feel happy, and food will be enough everywhere. Rivers will run plentiful again. Disasters will cease. Heaven will smile on humans, and good wishes will be fulfilled.

That is a kind of Eden. If we were to be vegetarian, all of the humans on the planet, that will be the effect. That’s what we wish to have.

Practicing Non-Violence Is Number One

Q: Master, is the world doing enough, and are we as initiates doing enough to save the planet at this critical time?

M: Well, you have been doing fine. Most of the initiates are doing their best, and sincerely. But the world… no. They're doing something; they are trying but they are not doing it fast enough and they are not doing enough. And even the “something” they are doing is often off track. I'm sorry, I have to be blunt; I’ve been too polite all these years and it doesn’t work.

Now the thing is, most often the world is doing things that are second or third important in line. Like you have the throne, with number 1 in line, number 2 in line, number 3 in line and so on. But they are not running after the Crown Prince. They are running after the second, the third, the fourth or fifth and the eleventh.

The number one thing that is most important is non-violence - to humans and animals. Of course, that means vegetarian diet; that means completely abstaining from all animal products. That is the thing that has been ignored up to now. Some people have spoken out; even some government officials and organizations have spoken out about that, but too little. If we stop killing, if we practice non-violence to humans and animals, if we stop all the killing, then all bad effects will stop, almost instantly. There will be no end to happiness and freedom, of any aspects, body and mind, if we stop the main cause of disaster, that is the killing. The main cause of disaster is the violence of the people, mostly from the people. We have to stop all this. We have to stop all the killing. I keep saying it again, and again and again. We have to live and let live. We have to respect and save lives. But tell me, who will be wise enough to listen? And who will be strong enough to carry this out? That’s the point. Perhaps everyone knows this, one way or another. But it needs a strong will to carry out. Not just knowing, but practicing. Practicing is very important.

We have to respect all lives, including that of our so-called enemies even. Directly or indirectly, we have to stop the killing. We have to all be vegetarian and abstain from all animal products. And that’s how the killing will stop. Everything else is secondary.

Q: Master, Oprah Winfrey is well known by many people around the world and she recently has gone vegan for 21 days. And a lot of high-profile people are realizing the benefits of a vegan diet, and in turn are influencing a lot of people around the world. Master, is this a good turn in the right direction?

M: Yes, it is. And Bravo to Oprah. She has done the most glorious thing in her entire career, methinks. And I think she will continue in this direction. She’s a wise woman, and she has a huge bunch of followers. So if she continues in this direction, she will do a great service to herself, humankind, and her believers. I think she’s very wise; she will do it because, I think she put something in her blog, saying, “How can you proclaim to be a spiritual seeker, when you have no compassion for animals at all?” So I think she’s a wise woman. I think she will continue that and it will be very great.

After all, what is the good of gnawing or biting on a dead corpse, for such a dignified human as us? As the human who can conquer the moon, can explore Mars, and do many other incredible feats, how can we not conquer our own appetite? Because the appetite of most humans has caused untold suffering to the weak and defenseless animals. And we even have an abundance of food choices! It’s not that we don’t. So if people just stop and think about this, they will realize how unfortunate it is that we have fallen into this trap that we have to kill to live, or that “If I live, you must die.” This is a very pitiful situation for human beings. If anyone takes a little time to think about it, this is really, really tragic.

So I hope people will realize it in the long run. If they stop and think about it, this is a really very tragic situation that the humans have fallen into, to let themselves be deprived of compassion or the loving instinct of a human. To succumb to this kind of cruelty, this is really a pity. It’s not what humans intended to be at all.

Every Effort Counts in Saving the Planet

Q: Master, more and more news reports are mentioning going vegetarian as a solution to address climate change. For example, on June 3, 2008, BBC2 “Newsnight” featured a program about measures to tackle climate change, and the headline said something like this: “Is it time to turn vegetarian?” It said the best solution would be for us all to become vegetarians. So it seems that people of the world over are getting the message. Do we still have time to save the planet, though?

M: Yes, they are getting the message. But it’s not enough. I want more of that, and on every television channel, every billboard, on the sidewalk, in every house and in every newspaper. This should be the topic that we talk about every day. Not the whole newspaper or the whole program, of course, but I mean some part of it has to be devoted to the most urgent need of our time, which is the climate change, and to stop it.

But nevertheless, they are doing something, and I am grateful. And I want to tell you some good news. The message, if people listen to it and do more, then of course we can save the planet! Right now, because of all the efforts that people have put into action, like planting trees, and driving less and sustainable fuel, we’ve gained more time to change the world. Also, many people have turned vegetarian, and some of the news media have helped to remind the public. And the governments also have done something or have thought about it. All this, however little, positive energy that people sincerely put their efforts into will bear fruit, and the more people turning to vegetarianism and preserving the planet, the further the deadline will recede. And then we will have more time, more and more time.

We have to thank the people who have changed to the vegetarian diet, and thank the governments who have put effort into preserving the environment, and we have to thank some of the news media who have been putting in efforts to remind people about our deadly situation. So if you guys continue helping to remind people, and if the government gives us more blessing and the news people continue the trend of giving the public more knowledge, then we still can save the planet. I do hope so. Thanks to the BBC2!

We Salute the Wise and Courageous Leaders

Q: Master, Prince Charles recently expressed his concern about the urgency to fight global warming in an article titled “18 Months to Stop Climate Change Disaster.” It was published in May 2008 in the Telegraph newspaper in the UK. And being a member of a Royal Family and other people in such high positions in the political field, and so on, they’re being advised what they should and should not say to the public. I was wondering what words of encouragement Master would offer these leaders to help them speak the truth and get their important message through.

M: I am very grateful to His Royal Highness and other courageous leaders in the world for stepping out of their boundary and speaking out for the sake of everyone. Even if the public does not appreciate their goodwill, Heaven will take note. And they will have a great reward hereafter. It is, of course, very difficult to be in the position of authority. I understand that and I’m glad you understand their position. Of course they’ve been told what to do and what not to say. But the advisors are not always wise. So I think the leaders themselves should act according to the intuition of a highly developed human being. To be a leader is to be endowed with bravery, compassion and nobility. That’s why you are a leader. It’s not easy, of course, to be in the position of a leader. That’s why leaders are few.

In a nation, there’s only one king, one queen, some princesses, some princes, one president and one prime minister: very few leaders, compared to the multitude of this world. But fewer even still are brave leaders, courageous leaders, righteous leaders and wise leaders. To such wise and courageous ones, we offer full support and respect. We pray that Heaven gives them more strength and more wisdom to carry out their noble duty. Of course, bravo to Prince Charles, and other leaders. Prince Charles has been an environmentalist for many, many years. And he’s getting always more and more vocal about this. And I hope he continues to set an example for other leaders because as I told you, leaders are few, and fewer still are those who are wise and courageous. Being a leader, we must know what is good for our subjects and what is not. What is good, we have to encourage or facilitate for them to do. And what is bad, we have to stop, to protect them. That is the true meaning of a leader.

He’s a good man, a gentleman. I have always liked him. He’s honest and straightforward. Being a Prince, he is true to his heart. That is a very good quality. And he’s not swayed by glamour or praise and gain. He’s really a truthful man, and I really pray that he will have more strength to continue and do better and better still for his subjects and for the world, to make an exemplary, noble figure of a leader, for the world to follow.

The Unimaginable Cost of Killing

Q: Hallo, Master, recently a Supreme Master TV crew visited the island of Skye in Scotland, and they interviewed the founder of an animal sanctuary where they rescue farm animals. Rima Morrell, the animal sanctuary founder, who is also an author and animal telepathic communicator, when she was sitting with one of her pigs, he started sending messages saying, “Now is the time that humans have to stop killing animals for food.” And the message seems really urgent. So the question is: "How can we help stop more people from eating animals?"

M: Yes, I have been asking myself that question, and you also, for many years already. This is a very frustrating question, because we don’t always have the immediate answer, knowing that the habits of humans are hard to quit. I just hope that Heaven has been warning enough with so many frequent disasters and incurable diseases, so that people truly wake up this time and stop all this cruelty to our co-citizens of the world, namely the animals and each other as well. If anyone would stop and think about it, it is really incredible how we still kill each other or even think of killing each other these days, not to talk about the poor defenseless innocent animals.

Well, all we can do is spread the news and explain to people as much as you can, hoping that your words or my words fall into some wise ears. Most humans do have telepathy, but they have completely lost it. So they cannot hear directly the animals’ cries of suffering, their cries of sorrow or their cries of advice, because they have been covered up tightly with a veil of ignorance from the King of Illusion, from Maya, from the so-called devil. So it’s very difficult for them to hear anything. But I just hope that at this time of peril, maybe they will wake up. So we try to tell them anything that is convincing. Maybe they can wake up; maybe some of them will listen; maybe half will listen or maybe two-thirds will listen. I hope all of them will listen. I hope I will live to see that day.

I’m telling you truly because, as much as I love the animals, I know that their suffering has an end. Even if one animal suffers by abuse, torture or massacre in the slaughterhouse, they have only that life and then they will be free to Heaven. It breaks my heart; I don’t want to imagine how they suffer. But even then, it’s not as bad as what the humans have to go through because of mistreating animals. So actually, I’m more sorry for the humans than the animals, do you understand? (Audience: Yes.)

If they are abused and badly treated, then they will be in a higher Heaven. But the humans who have done all this to them will pay terribly. And that’s what I’m worried about. Even though I love animals so much, the physical suffering, we will endure one way or another, even humans too. But the spiritual suffering, this spiritual loss, it’s a terrible loss. And humans commit terrible acts against themselves every day, causing them to lose spiritual merit because of killing animals, because of killing each other and because of eating animals. So, you see, it’s the humans that I’m worried about.

We’re trying as best as we can to awaken their real knowledge. But it’s not easy. I thank you for all you have been doing. I thank you for bearing all this frustration with me. And thank you for still having unwavering faith that the humans will change. Maybe they will change and maybe we can still save the planet. We just have to continue. Okay? (Audience: Yes. Thank You, Master.)

The Powerful Vegetarian Message

Q: Hallo, Master! We have recently interviewed a musician lady who lives near the stone circle in south England. She told us she used to be vegetarian for many years, and then she went back to eating meat. But on the very day she and her mom watched Supreme Master Television, they went straight back to vegetarian diet again. And she cries every time she watches the channel, she told us. And she said after going back to vegetarian, her conscience feels great, and she feels pure, better and cleaner.

She also said the channel informs people of the important issues of our time and the challenges we all face, and people are blind to it, about how and why to be a vegetarian. And she thinks people should start watching Supreme Master TV because to her, this is how the television should be and this is what TV should be used for.

M: Right, yes. That’s why we’re doing it. I also met some people who had been vegetarian before and they went back to a non-vegetarian diet. And after meeting me and talking to me, and seeing that I eat vegetarian, they became vegetarian again! Personally, also I’m working; I am also a “mini-Supreme Master TV.” All of us can have some influence in some way. That is cool. But it’s just not fast enough for my patience. Anyway, we’re doing what we can, and it’s not just for other people; it’s for us also, for our children and grandchildren, our friends and family members. They all are important. It’s a pity that the world is not doing it together with us! If it were, then we’d have Eden on Earth right away, within 8 weeks! Within 8 weeks all disasters would stop. That’s how Heaven is created. Where do you think Heaven comes from? Heaven is a place where all beings act in the same way, not uniformly, but in the same level of compassion, the same level of love, and the same level of spiritual knowledge or understanding, the same level of nobility. That’s what Heaven is. And we can turn this world into Heaven anytime. If human beings just turn around, all will be forgiven. Heaven is forgiving, because they did not know about the killing of the meat diet, they did not know anything much about killing. Of course they knew a little bit, but no one emphasized it; no one really made it like a matter of fact. If the government, the media and all the people who have the power can wield their power in a correct way and inform or educate the public to make them know what is right and what is wrong, and that vegetarian diet is a must and the only diet that everyone should follow, then it will be done!

Look at how many people have decreased smoking. Even if smoking cigarettes has not been banned completely and has just been banned in the public only, look at the percentage of people who have decreased smoking and how much disease has been minimized. How much money of the taxpayers has been saved, just in a few months? You watch television; you know this. You know the effects immediately. Look at that! And it’s not even banned completely yet. Can you imagine if it’s banned completely someday, or if meat has been banned, or has been advised to be less and less, can you imagine how good it’d be?

The government is supposed to govern goodly and rightly. So this is the time the government should do their governing like a righteous, natural thing! Just like children have to go to school. In some countries, the law obliges parents to send the children to school. So maybe one day we will oblige all the people to leave the animals in peace, just like the way we want to be left in peace. We don’t want anyone to cut our throat, so why go out and cut some other being’s throat and drink blood from it and eat their corpse. And we call that civilization! It’s the twenty-first century, my goodness. And so many Masters have been on Earth, teaching us already that we shall not kill, we shall not eat meat, we shall not drink alcohol, we shall not take intoxication… We have been taught so long, century after century! So this is the time we should be the human being that we’re supposed to be.

Okay, we made mistakes; we didn’t know it before. But now is the time! We should do research, we should know about it. Everywhere there is plenty of vegetarian diet advice, books and recipes. Even in our television, we have ten-thousand-and-one international delectable recipes daily, offered free of charge. They can always download and keep it in their family and try it all. It’s beautiful, it’s tasty and it’s harmless to anyone. There’s no excuse anymore to sink your teeth into that piece of flesh which is rotten anyway. I don’t know how human beings can consume such a thing. It’s below dignity and it’s unhygienic; it’s unhealthy; it’s poisonous; it's ignoble. Pardon my bluntness. I’ve been polite for too long.

So it’s about time we wake up and change our behavior, to be noble and to be dignified as a human being. And all the animals will be living in peace, without fear, without suffering, that’s the main point. The main point is that we will have Eden on Earth.
