“A Prayer For Compassion” also explores how the state of our planet is intrinsically linked with humankind’s spirituality, which in turn is affected by our daily decisions. “The environmental crisis is not a crisis of the bees and the birds or the trees and the toads, it's a crisis of how we live as spiritual beings in a physical reality. Therefore, in order to address this crisis, we're going to need to address the spiritual roots.” “So, the most important step that an individual can do today to address environmental destruction is to adopt a plant-based diet, which is as local as possible, which is as organic as possible. So it's Local Organic Vegan Eating - that’s L.O.V.E.” As Mr. Thomas Wade Jackson speaks to sincere devotees of different faiths, it is clear that the holy scriptures of the various religions share a common theme: we must treat all beings with respect and compassion. “Veganism is just a result of your own compassion towards all beings. And compassion is just a realization of your connectivity to nature. When you connect with your nature, with all the beings or with the whole of existence, you spontaneously become compassionate with everyone.” “To honor God is to honor the holy breath of every being and to see that the world needs each of us.” “The Book of Psalms teaches that the world is built through kindness. We bring Heaven down to Earth by perpetuating kindness.” “So the most central question we can ask ourselves every day is how can I increase compassion in the world today, through my every choice?” “Jesus' earliest followers, many of them were vegan because they got it. They got that Jesus was about mercy, compassion and love, and life. Choose life, give life, stop killing, show kindness to everything.” “My prayer is that each of us will challenge ourselves to be more kind and compassionate with our thoughts, words and actions, to vote wisely with our dollars and to take better care of all of creation including our body temples, and to take the time each day to go within and ask some version of what can I do to make the world better for those yet to come and then listen carefully for that still quiet voice to answer.”

In this series, we are privileged to introduce an extraordinary, vegan-focused documentary called “A Prayer For Compassion,” produced and directed by Mr. Thomas Wade Jackson, an award-winning American filmmaker, photographer, musician, and Shining World Compassion Award Recipient. In July 2020, Supreme Master Ching Hai provided him with a humble gift of US$10,000 “to lovingly support his promotion of veganism.” By drawing a line between our spirituality and what we eat, the film brings attention to the pain and suffering of the animals who are turned into meat that people consume. It also examines the connection between our faith and responsibility to be the stewards of our planet. Jerome Flynn presents: “How can we expect ourselves to have lives of joy and freedom and spiritual clarity when we are sowing the seeds of the opposite of that?” “There's another passage in the Qur’an that says that because of the wrongs of humanity, there has been much corruption seen in the oceans and on land.” “So, for a few moments in which we're enjoying what is really just a palate preference, we're taking what is most essential to animals: their very lives. And that's the opposite of compassion, it seems to me.” A Prayer for Compassion. “♪ This little light of mine ♪ ♪ I'm gonna let it shine ♪” “This is my daughter, Melody. She's the reason I'm making this documentary. It's for her and it's for all the children who will inherit whatever world we choose to leave them.” “And during that meditation this question popped into my mind: ‘How is it possible that a compassionate, spiritual or religious person could support an industry that is responsible for the unnecessary suffering of billions of people, trillions of land and sea animals, and the devastation of the very planet we live on?’” “The first thing you can do, and the most important thing to do in saving this world and to living in the Heavenly world of God, starts on your dinner plate.”

In the PreetiRang documentary, Madhulika refers to her Indian cultural background as being the major influence in leading her to start the sanctuary. “In Sanskrit there is a saying ‘Vasudaiva kutumbakam,’ all people on this Vasudaiva, on this Earth, are one family, so we hope that in the future, more and more people will realize that and that this world will actually start becoming one. We would like people to come here, visit our animals, get to experience animals other than cats and dogs and realize that we are really all related. We feel the same way, pain and love and joy, so we want to bring this realization to the world.” “And if you truly believe that we are the highest, we have the highest evolved form on this Earth, if you truly believe that we are moral, spiritual, then we have no choice but to enlarge our circle of compassion, include everybody and treat all life with respect because every life deserves a chance to express itself. No life should be forcefully taken.” “And my wish is that we are in a more compassionate world, that we study how by ignoring or killing or hurting other animals, how we hurt ourselves or how by helping other living beings prosper, how we benefit ourselves, we learn all those things, we raise the awareness for that. And as you know veganism is not restricted only to animal rights and taking care of animals. Veganism is an extended fight against sexism, against abuse of children. So, we want no segment of society to suffer. We want to help.” Supreme Master Ching Hai along with all of our Association members has been praying every day for a vegan world because it is the only answer to all the challenges we are facing. “Because it’s all only one answer: the VEGAN DIET, the VEGAN WORLD, that will rescue our planet and secure lasting peace for all beings on Earth. Do be vegan. THAT’S THE RIGHT THING and that’s all you have to do. Everything else will fall into place. It will be all benevolence, merciful, compassion, happiness all over our planet if you do that.”

In today’s program, we’ll learn about how PreetiRang has transformed people’s thoughts and feelings and convinced them to go vegan. “I first came to PreetiRang Sanctuary around my 16th birthday. Prior to that, I’d never met a cow, I’d never met a chicken or goat. So getting to hold one the first time or getting to hug one was really nice and it really just motivated me to stay vegan for the rest of my life because these are the animals that I’m saving. It’s still just as magical as the first time I came here, just getting to hug the cow it’s like just the most amazing experience ever and I really hope that everyone gets to experience this too one time in their life or another.” “I think the moral bankruptcy that we are facing can be addressed mainly by a vegan lifestyle, right? Including every living being in our circle of compassion, we need to see beyond ourselves. We need to see even beyond the human race. Greenhouse effects are huge. They are using up land. They're using up water that could be used more fruitfully to produce more food for animals. It could end global hunger.” “There was a gentleman who came here because his girlfriend brought him on her birthday, and just to keep her happy, he brought her here. She was very excited to be with the animals. So she would tell him to pose with the animals and he would put two fingers on a cow and one finger on a goat. You could see, he was not very comfortable when he started. Two, three hours later when the tour was over the only sentence he spoke with us, ‘All I eat is animals; how can I give them up?’ So we were laughing about that, but in like two or three weeks, the girlfriend wrote to us saying that he is ready to try to convert to a vegan lifestyle. And he credits his PreetiRang tour to that. And that's just one of the stories, but because it's such a contrast between’ All I eat is meat; how can I be vegan?’ to, ‘Yes, I'm ready to try vegan,’ it's a huge contrast.”

Madhulika Singh and Tony Sehgal, not only love animals and care deeply about our environment, but also follow the planet-saving vegan diet. “I went vegan shortly after watching a documentary that really opened my eyes to the impact of animal livestock industry on our environment. I'd always considered myself an environmentalist. I majored in biology before going into filmmaking and I was completely unaware of the impact animal livestock industry has on the environment specifically, let alone animal suffering and health. So once I realized that I felt unless I went vegan, I couldn't consider myself an environmentalist.” “Well, one of the leading causes of climate change is animal livestock industry. We make very inefficient use of land and water for raising animals and the crops for animals. And the meat industry also produces more greenhouse gases than all forms of transportation, whether it's land or sea or air, all combined together. And in making inefficient use of land, we keep cutting forests We are deforesting the Amazon. We are deforesting many different rain forests to produce more and more crops for our animals that we'll consume. And it's very inefficient.” “And currently we are going through the sixth mass extinction, and all this is really depleting our Earth and creating a climate change. So if we adopt a vegan lifestyle, if we don't need animal food, animal accessories, like leather belts, leather wallets, leather shoes, then we will not need animal farming. So we will strike down a very huge cause of climate change.” Supreme Master Ching Hai also says that a vegan diet is a solution to global warming. “Adopting a plant-based diet can halt as much as 80% of global warming, eradicate world hunger, stop war, promote peace, and it will free up the Earth's water as well as many other precious resources, offering a lifeline for the planet and for humanity. In short, it will very quickly halt many of the global problems facing us right now. Therefore, it is vital that we change our lifestyle – setting a noble example for others to follow, and do our part to bring to the public's attention the urgent climate change issues and its solutions; the foremost being vegan diet, the vegan diet, to safeguard our precious planet.”

PreetiRang Sanctuary is located in the center of Solano County, California, USA, and is home to many rescued farm animals. The co-founders of the facility, Madhulika Singh and her husband Mukul Banbihari, devote their lives to caring for the animals and to promoting the vegan way of life. After learning about the couple’s support of animals, filmmaker Tony Sehgal, decided to make a documentary on the PreetiRang Sanctuary. “The mission of PreetiRang Sanctuary is to provide a refuge for animals that have been rescued from the animal livestock industry. The more important part of our objective is to provide information to people who visit, and via social media, regarding the lives of these animals, what they are typically treated as in the factory-farming setting, to get them to know the animals and to encourage them to come visit and have a good time with the animals here.” “And so they're very much like human beings in their daily life. However, in some respects, they are more spiritual than human beings. They can live in the present moment and that's the lesson I'm learning from them. They reciprocate love with love.” Many times, our beloved Supreme Master Ching Hai has also confirmed that animals are just like humans. “They are just like you; they are just born in different form. Just like the brother next to you, he is black and you are white, and the other one is red. Just born in different color, different form, but that's the same soul in it. Do you understand? I guess you understand. I hope the people outside understand. Just like different flowers. I told you already, yeah? The red, the blue, the rose, the purple, they're all classified as flowers. The same, humans, animals, birds, others, they're all classified as beings, living beings or sentient beings. How smart they are! And they are so peaceful! They are born to color our life, not to be killed and eaten. This is a terrible sin that the humans committed, killing such innocent friends.” Supreme Master Ching Hai: “Joyfully present the Shining World Compassion Award to the PreetiRang Sanctuary along with a humble contribution of US$10,000 to support its benevolent work of promoting veganism to save our world, with all admiration, love, and gratitude. May God always bless you abundantly.”

Today, we’ll discuss in more detail how some of these extraordinary individuals of the past set a high standard for present and future athletes to follow. Young Wilma Rudolph of the United States suffered from polio for years, but nonetheless managed to win a bronze medal in the 4 x 100 meters relay at the Melbourne Olympic Games in 1956, aged only 16. Four years later, she went on to win gold in the 100-meter dash at the 1960 Rome Olympics. What Wilma demonstrated may at first seem like a miracle, but in fact her achievements were due to her incredible personal effort, inner strength, indubitable discipline, and deep desire to succeed. Despite being praised by people around the world for bringing home four gold medals from the Berlin Olympic Games of 1936, the US athlete Jesse Owen felt the most beautiful gift he received was his friendship with a German athlete. Being frustrated with his poor performance in the long jump during the qualifying round, Owen received sincere consolation from his new friend, who also happened to be his strongest competitor, Luz Long of Germany. Although political tensions existed between the United States and Germany at the time, Luz Long valued friendship regardless of a person’s nationality or ethnicity. Canadian sailor Lawrence Lemieux was highly expected to win in the Finn class sailing event at the 1988 Seoul, Korea Summer Olympics. Holding second place in the race and knowing he could pass his opponent to win, Lemieux saw one of the other two-person boats had flipped over. He could see that one crew member was holding on tight to the boat and was relatively safe, but the other member was fighting for his life in the water. Lemieux decisively left the race and saved the stricken boat crewmember, later rejoining his team to finish in 22nd place. However, after a redress from the race judges, he was credited with second position. At the medal ceremony to recognize and honor his heroic deed, Lemieux was awarded the Pierre de Coubertin Medal for “Sportsmanship for his act” by the Honorable Juan Antonio Samaranch, President of the International Olympic Committee. Lemieux felt surprised at the abundance of media attention and interest in his selfless deed, after which he said it was “something I believe anyone would have done in the same circumstances.”

The story goes that the creation of the Olympic Truce began with two kings living near Olympia, Greece named Iphitos and Cleomenes I, who with the help of the Spartan lawyer Lycurgus, formalized an agreement to make the Olympic Truce a reality, and something that would later become an integral part of the Olympic vision. With this contract in place, the Olympic Truce provided security and safety for the Olympic arena and the host city Elis, and ensured peace during the Games. In ancient times, the Olympic Truce only protected the local areas around Olympia, but in the modern revised form, it extends to all countries around the world by reminding them to seek an end to meaningless fights during and after the Olympics. In 2000, the spirit of peace resounded during the Sydney Summer Games when South and North Korea walked together in the Olympic stadium under a common flag at the opening ceremony! Further exemplary cases were observed particularly in the United Kingdom. For instance, the London Summer Olympic Games of 2012 stands out as one of the best examples where all citizens of the world were encouraged to embrace the spirit of the Olympic Truce. UK diplomats orchestrated and led an earnest plea to all nations who were not in agreement to cease hostilities and seek peaceful solutions. Another spectacular instance was the Right Honorable Lord Michael Bates’ Walk of Truce. “I think what we need above all in the present time is that the Olympic ideal of seeing ourselves as part of something which is greater than a national boundary, part of civilization, or one exactly the same, living under the same rules, living in harmony. That is a peace which can inspire and has inspired.” To date, more than 200 countries have participated in the Olympics since its revival in 1896. This is quite an accomplishment in uniting the world and greatly contributes to world peace. In Rio de Janeiro’s 2016 Summer Games, a one-of-a-kind team participated; for the very first time a team consisting only of refugees was formed. The Refugee Olympic Team came from four different countries and included two swimmers, two judokas, a marathoner, and five medium-distance runners.

Every two years, thousands of the best athletes from around the world gather to participate in the Olympic Games. Although they are competing in sports, their coming together is also a celebration of peace and unity. The central theme of togetherness and friendship is proudly declared and beautifully represented in the Olympic flag. Designed in 1912 by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, cofounder of the modern events, the flag has five colorful interconnected rings symbolizing the cordial bond of the five continents. The colors blue, yellow, black, green, and red were chosen because at least one of them appears on the national flag of every country in the world. Coubertin also intended the rings’ connection to one another to stand for a unified world. According to historical records, the very first Olympic Games were held in 776 BC in Olympia, southern Greece. After the first international Olympic Games was held in 1896, it wasn’t until 1928 that the modern Olympic flame tradition began. The Olympic torch is famously lit every two alternating years at the opening ceremonies of the Summer and Winter Olympic Games. The flame that lights the torch is created by using a parabolic mirror that concentrates the sun’s rays to spark the fire. By lighting the fire in this ceremonial way, it is believed the flame is at its purest. We’ll now explore how the Games gradually became more popular and came to be hosted by other countries. In ancient times during a truce, certain local rituals or “fun games” would take place in different regions throughout Greece, and the Greek term for this is Ekecheiria, which means the Olympic Truce or the “laying down of arms.” The Olympic Truce tradition is still being practiced to the present day. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does.” Another instance where harmony and peace are promoted is found in the Olympic Charter which states that its goal is, “to place sport at the service of the harmonious development of humankind, with a view to promoting a peaceful society concerned with the preservation of human dignity.”

Fortunately, there are some brave media groups and individuals today who have been doing their best to report truthfully on the facts as they unfold. In a recent conference with Supreme Master Television team members, Supreme Master Ching Hai noted: “The media, several of them are good, and straight and very, very insightful, and knowing, feeling more intuition about who’s good, who’s not, and also fairness. Like Fox News and New York Post. Others I…maybe there are one or two more.” Fox News Channel has been one of the few major media outlets that have strived to give a fair accounting of President Trump’s administration, and due recognition for its many achievements. Fox News also diligently searched for evidence and testimonies to uncover the widespread fraud that was committed during the 2020 Presidential election. The New York Post has also strived to report truthfully what the public should know, including information about the 2020 Presidential election and the related impeachment trial. “When you have the truth, when you have your conscience on your side – in this case, we just believe we did good reporting – stand by it. Sometimes, you can win. In the end, truth always wins.” Not only media outlets but also independent journalists are upholding fairness and truth in their important work. One of them is Pulitzer Prize-winning American investigative journalist Glenn Greenwald, who was a co-founding editor of The Intercept, an award-winning news organization. Although he was not entirely supportive of President Trump at the beginning of his presidency, Mr. Greenwald relied on his own thorough and unbiased investigations over the years, to call out the truth on certain matters, even if it opposed others’ or even his own previous views.

Over the last two decades we have all witnessed a phenomenon in the media industry that now jeopardizes the integrity of modern-day journalism: the consolidation of the news media companies around the world and the misuse of power by the big tech internet and social media companies. “There are hundreds of TV stations newspapers and radio shows, but the truth is that almost every avenue from which we get our information in the mainstream media is controlled by only six corporations that have one specific interest: profit.” As a result of a much more consolidated media industry, the importance of a journalist being honest and truthful when reporting on events has never been more crucial. Many people are now finding it difficult to discern what is truthful news from what is misinformation or biased news. With deep concern about the United States and the world’s future, our Beloved Supreme Master Ching Hai has also given us spiritual insights about the former President, helping us to see through the veil of misinformation so as to better understand and appreciate the true benevolence of His Excellency Mr. Trump. “Heaven told me that he prays for peace.” a 2017 Harvard University study found that over 90% of all reporting by the media was negative towards President Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office. Then during his re-election campaign, the media continued with the negative bias against President Trump while underreporting any negative news about the opposing Presidential candidate. In a recent conference with the Supreme Master Television team, our Beloved Supreme Master Ching Hai spoke about the effect of dishonesty in politics and the media during the recent US Presidential elections: “But America will lose trust from the international community. And people will also distrust the media, the mainstream media.” With all these unprecedented occurrences taking place today one has to ask, what has happened to journalism in the 21st century? Let’s look at the code of ethics that all respectable journalists would need to uphold: 1. Truth and Accuracy 2. Independence 3. Fairness and Impartiality 4. Serve Humanity 5. Accountability “So we must correct the journalistic education system. The media are the public’s eyes and ears. They should stick to reporting truth. Just report the true news like some of their straightforward, excellent colleague journalists.”

Since the first cluster of “unknown pneumonia” was reported at the end of 2019, the highly contagious and serious virus identified as COVID-19 has swept across the globe, affecting more than 84 million people and claiming over 1.8 million lives as of January 1, 2021, according to John Hopkins University Coronavirus Resource Center. The numbers are increasing daily. COVID-19 spares no one, and those who are affected by the virus or lost their lives to it include top political leaders, religious heads, royalty, wealthy businesspeople, as well as famous artists, athletes, and many others who are top-notch in their fields. COVID-19 not only casts a shadow over the lives of the top leaders, religious heads, artists, and athletes, but all of us. Everyone is affected in one way or another. As world governments, scientists, and researchers rush to develop and release vaccines, a more infectious new strain of COVID-19 was discovered in the UK at the end of 2020, causing spikes in cases and renewed concern. When can we see the end of this pandemic? Supreme Master Ching Hai provided insights in one of the recent conferences with the Supreme Master Television team. “I don’t know how long until we are free from this COVID-19. It depends on humans. (Yes, Master.) If they U-turn and live compassionately, no more killing animals or man, then this pandemic will disappear in no time, without any medicine, without vaccine, without any trouble. But if they continue the way it is, I don’t know, I cannot guarantee. I can help some. But I cannot help completely.” Humans are the cause of the pandemic and are also the solution. We pray that all people are awakened to their original loving nature and hasten the arrival of a vegan world, so that the tragedies of global pandemics will be a thing of the past forever.

On today’s program, Ms. Divine tells us more about her latest book, “Golden Age Politics: Inspired, Ethical Politics for a Peaceful, Thriving World.” One of the reasons Kathy wrote this book was because she was so impressed by some of the current vegan politicians. She tells us about some of the people who have inspired her the most. “Maneka Gandhi from the Indian parliament, she’s an amazing leader. She’s also running animal sanctuaries and doing a lot of charity work.” “I also think the New Zealand Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern is doing fantastic work at the moment.” “And in Golden Age Politics, the whole idea of it is to have a vision, even if you don’t win.” “Because you may not win the first time that you’re a candidate, but you're bringing that vision into the world and, you're just creating the first steps towards ethical leadership in politics.” “With the crisis of climate change and all of the other environmental emergencies, with the pandemic, and all of the issues that are really pressing humanity right now, if there is no basis of a plan for the environment, for climate change, if the leaders are not up to the task of dealing with that, if they are not sharing the vegan message as the biggest solution, they must step aside and let people with the required ethics take charge and quickly get into place the necessary things that we need to create ethical leadership, and to stop the pandemics and to stop climate change in its tracks.” “‘Golden Age Politics’ came about from Supreme Master Ching Hai’s slogan, ‘Be Vegan, Make Peace’. So, the book has a very simple message that is all around ethical politics and around Master’s message of ‘Be Vegan, Make Peace’. So, we first need to be vegan, (then) we can go into politics with our vegan values and create world peace.”

Ms. Divine is the author of six books, including “Plant-Powered Men,” “Plant-Powered Women,” and “Vegans are Cool.” She is the founder of the magazine, “Australian Vegans Journal,” as well as the founder of the Plant-Powered Women Leadership Conference Series. “My latest project is a book called Golden Age Politics.” Ms. Divine explains what inspired her to write the book and what she hopes to achieve through it. “I wrote the book ‘Golden Age Politics’ to give people hope that we can create the world that we’ve always dreamed of. Leaders in government, they are the ones making the laws, so it’s crucial that we have ethical people in politics. So, part of the aim of the book is to inspire ethical people, ethical vegans to go into politics and be the leaders that we’ve always needed, and the leaders, particularly right now, that we urgently need. The book is for voters and it’s also for aspiring political candidates, and people already in parliament, to inspire their work. And to help people vote consciously and carefully at the next election. What I’m hoping to achieve with ‘Golden Age Politics’ is just to start conversations, get people more engaged in politics, more excited about leadership potentials. The first key message in the book is just a simple one. To vote consciously and carefully at the next election, whatever that is, whenever that may be in your country. So that just means thinking about the candidates, thinking about what they're offering, and just really caring about your vote. And to vote also where, in some countries, where it's voluntary to vote, do go and vote because your voice is important. And your beliefs and your values are important. So please do vote. Because the more people that vote, the more people that get involved, the more potential there is for politics to be inclusive for everybody and also a positive experience. Another message is that I think ethical vegans are so well qualified to be politicians. So, I would encourage vegans all around the planet, not just into political positions, because that doesn’t suit everybody, and that’s not everybody’s mission and destiny. But to encourage you to be leaders in your own community. So, vegans can be leaders in their family, they can be leaders in their workplace, in their community groups, even in your sporting groups. On whatever level, you can contribute. Bring those ethical vegan vibes into your place of work or into your family, and be the leaders that we urgently need right now. Because being vegan is the foundation from which everything else flourishes. So, if we are all vegan, we all have ethics backing up our lifestyles, then we can all be leaders, and we can turn around all the big issues like climate change and pandemics and everything else that we faced this year and we will face ongoingly. If we are all vegan as a foundation, that is the best criteria for leadership.”

Operation Warp Speed, His Excellency’s personal push to make a coronavirus vaccine available as fast as possible to the public, has been roundly applauded and been called an 'unprecedented success.' The project began in May 2020, and the vaccine is now being mass distributed – truly an incredible feat.It is rare to witness in a lifetime a country’s leader with the tremendous courage to step outside political norms, even if it means being opposed, and still work from his heart to do what is right, including fostering peace in their land and the world. United States President, His Excellency Donald Trump, is one such person. This program highlights the many significant domestic and international achievements of President Trump, a Shining World Peace Leader Award laureate and Shining World Leadership Award for Compassion laureate. He has been lauded for his numerous decisive actions to boost the United States in multiple spheres, including strong measures to improve the US economy, protect American citizens’ health, and drive constructive social change in communities.(The pace over the past 10 days has been astronomical. Everybody in official Washington (DC) I talked to said, 'I cannot believe he’s only been president for 10 days.')(This is how it’s supposed to be done. Actually, even more so than we’ve seen in the past.)(We are seeing the markets react positively.)(Consumer confidence rocketing to a 16-year high.)(Healthy job growth again for the month of February.)(So is this the Trump effect?) (Well, I think it is. I think there is no question that employers like Donald Trump a lot and his agenda and I think the fact that he’s just more pro-business.)(The Dow still nearing all-time highs. Just finishing the longest quarterly winning-streak in 10 years.)(He’s repairing relationships with Egypt as well as with Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states.)(He’s done a really good job.) (Well, he’s pretty close to perfect, Sean. I’m serious.)(He has done more than any president in recent history, certainly in the last half century, in the first 98 days of his presidency.)Abroad, His Excellency has a lengthy list of outstanding accomplishments. President Trump has been strengthening relations between the United States and other countries as well as playing a key role as a peace-maker and negotiator to bring nations together who previously were in conflict or had few to no ties. He also brought American troops home from several countries. His work on the global stage has been so admired that, to date, he is a seven-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee.We first profile some of the substantial domestic advancements that have been attained by his administration.BOOSTING THE AMERICAN ECONOMYThe US economy has seen exceptional growth since President Trump assumed office. The keen business sense that made him a very successful entrepreneur has informed his fiscal policies. Resultingly, his nation has become more competitive in various markets, and the financial security of US citizens has improved. Numerous national economic records have been set. Overall, the median American household income reached an all-time high in 2019.The Dow Jones Industrial Average, a stock market index with some of the US’s top publicly traded companies, hit a new peak on December 4, 2020. The index is one indicator of America’s economic health and investor sentiment. Notably, the high was reached despite the ongoing pandemic.(It was a great finish to the year.)(Three hundred and twelve thousand jobs added.)(Real wages are rising for the first time in a decade and that’s good.)(Wages are stellar.)(A fantastic number.)(Those are great numbers and we should be applauding it.)(Unreal. Unreal number.)(The first word that popped into my head was eye-popping. I mean…)(This is a blockbuster number.)President Trump has been credited with an enormous expansion in job opportunities after assuming office. Since his election in 2016, seven million jobs have been created. Unemployment fell to a 50-year low in late 2019. Those groups that have historically fared less well economically in the US have enjoyed important gains. The White House noted that, 'The lowest unemployment rates on record were matched or set in September 2019 for African Americans, Hispanics, and people with disabilities.' In 2019, Hispanics and African Americans had the lowest poverty rate in the country’s history since recordkeeping of the statistic began. He also re-started funding of a program supporting career and technical education, with US$1 billion given to the US states to implement it. Additionally, President Trump signed an executive order that directs federal agencies to work with the private sector to create apprenticeship and job training programs leading to well-paying careers.SAFEGUARDING CITIZEN HEALTH"Operation Warp Speed is unequaled and unrivaled anywhere in the world."Operation Warp Speed, His Excellency’s personal push to make a coronavirus vaccine available as fast as possible to the public, has been roundly applauded and been called an 'unprecedented success.' The project began in May 2020, and the vaccine is now being mass distributed – truly an incredible feat.In remarks made on December 8, 2020, President Trump stated, "We’re here to discuss a monumental national achievement. From the instant the coronavirus invaded our shores, we raced into action to develop a safe and effective vaccine at breakneck speed. It would normally take five years, six years, seven years, or even more. In order to achieve this goal, we harnessed the full power of government, the genius of American scientists, and the might of American industry to save millions and millions of lives all over the world."President Trump has also prioritized ending the US opioid epidemic that caused 48,000 American deaths in 2017 alone by declaring it a public health emergency. Furthermore, he signed legislation in 2018 directing US$6 billion in new funding into programs to address the tragedy of opioid addiction. The law helps bolster drug treatment options, has measures to clamp down on the overprescription of opioids and enhances law enforcement tools to address the issue. He also directed the US Justice Department to sue opioid manufacturers for illegal and unethical practices, including aggressively marketing and distributing their products, thus causing a public health crisis. In November 2020, one major drug company pled guilty and agreed to pay a US$8 billion settlement.BETTERING SOCIAL WELFARE His Excellency Donald Trump has been vigilant about protecting Americans’ safety and welfare. He has taken several significant steps to address the scourge of human trafficking. He signed a bill in January 2019 providing US$430 million for anti-human trafficking measures in the US and abroad. The next January, he issued an executive order outlining new federal government steps to end the vile trade and exploitation of children on the Internet. His administration made US$100 million in grants available in September 2020 to law enforcement agencies and nonprofit service organizations that work in the area. This includes funding of housing assistance for victims and money for prevention and intervention initiatives.Supreme Master Ching Hai has spoken about President Trump’s tremendous efforts in the area."Others might have talked about it, or some have done little about it, but he is the first one who really acts strongly, fast and seriously, and with heart put into it, to protect people and children from human traffickers."Here are just a few of President Trump’s other major actions to help improve the daily lives of Americans.+ Approved a bill guaranteeing mothers a space for breastfeeding in US airports+ Doubled the child tax credit for parents and expanded income eligibility for it+ Signed a law giving an extra US$2.4 billion to an overall US$8.1 billion program for US states to help disadvantaged families access child care+ Proposed and Approved the US$2.2 trillion Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act that included a stimulus payment to citizens, expanded unemployment benefits, and financially assisted businesses, states and local governments+ As of December 2020, he is pursuing more federal coronavirus relief aid to the American people and businesses, including seeking a US$2,000 a person stimulus payment Etc.+Signed the First Steps Act, a prison reform measure that includes retroactive federal prison sentence reductions to address sentencing inequities and improve conditions inside facilities+Directed federal agencies to roll out the 'Ready to Work Initiative' that helps former prisoners gain employment and more here…INTERNATIONAL ACHIEVEMENTSBesides his devotion to the United States, President Trump is committed to peace around the world, as Supreme Master Ching Hai has revealed."He prays for peace. (Yes.) That’s what I know inside. (Wow!) Heaven told me that he prays for peace. (Wow!) (That’s amazing!) You cannot cheat God. (Yes.) You cannot blind Heaven. So They know. (Yes, Master.) Anyway, peace is the most precious thing that any president can give to his country and the world. (Yes.) (Could Master please tell us what is that covenant between God and President Trump?) That he has to make peace. Yes. That’s his job, his mission. (Oh.) You can see it very well. More nations are coming to peace also with Israel. That means peace with America and the world. (Yes, Master.) Because it’s mediated by the American government, by President Trump."Since assuming office in 2016, President Trump has supported and mediated historic peace agreements in numerous countries. The most recent accord was between Morocco and Israel. This is the fourth Israeli-Arab peace deal in the past four months mediated by His Excellency, which include those between Israel and Bahrain, Sudan, and the United Arab Emirates. All of these countries are Shining World Leadership Award for Peace laureates. Illustrating the respect President Trump has earned among world leaders for his unprecedented peace efforts, Prime Minister of Israel, His Excellency Benjamin Netanyahu said during the announcing of the peace accord with Sudan: "We are expanding the circle of peace so rapidly with your leadership, Mr. President, your able team. History in the making… This truly changes the region. It changes the lives of all our peoples for the better. It allows us to focus on the task of building nations, building our future… And with your help, the help of the United States, the possibilities are infinite."President Trump has also mediated a peace agreement between Kosovo and Serbia, both Shining World Leadership Award for Peace laureates, and was a key facilitator in leading to the signing of the Panmunjom Declaration for Peace, Prosperity and Unification of the Korean Peninsula by His Excellency Moon Jae-in, President of the Republic of Korea and a Shining World Leadership Award for Peace laureate and Dear Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, Supreme Leader of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and a Shining World Leadership Award for Peace recipient. In fact, President Trump was the first US President to step into the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.President Trump has not only been part of directly establishing peace internationally, he is the first US President in over 40 years not to have started any wars. He has also taken action to end conflicts by withdrawing US troops from Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia and Syria. In Afghanistan and Iraq, by mid-January 2021, 5,700 troops will have been withdrawn. Moreover, signifying his intention for a peaceful world, President Trump appointed as the Acting United States Secretary of Defense, the Honorable Christopher Miller, who said in a letter to all Department of Defense employees, 'All wars must end.'Supreme Master Ching Hai has spoken of President Trump’s courageous work."Mostly America is the police of the world, and they flex muscle. And he is the one who did the opposite. Growing out of America, growing out of this kind of environment, whose race always believes in making war or to flex their muscles. And he didn’t do that. He did the opposite. So, he doesn’t fear. He just did what he thinks is correct."In a special message to President Trump on November 24, 2020, Supreme Master Ching Hai emphasized the importance of his peace-promoting efforts."You have never said that you are going to be president and then you make peace, but you just make peace, like that. And how many hundreds or thousands or millions of people’s lives will be saved? How many countries will be stabilized, and have peace and have prosperity and get on with their lives because of you. Please fight for them. Up to now, not everybody can make peace the way you do. At least you make peace and you save humans’ lives, you save Americans’ lives, these young, beautiful, handsome, intelligent boys and girls cannot just be wasted in a foreign land or any land. So you have saved their lives, you brought happiness to their family, you brought smiles to their wives, their children and all and for that, I thank you very much and the world thanks you also for having some peaceful future. And that means a lot to Heaven and Earth, means a lot to the whole world."As we have seen through our program today, President Donald Trump puts his full attention and effort to uplifting his nation and furthering peace and stability throughout our world. He makes it a top priority to drive constructive change to benefit the lives of his co-citizens and people globally. We give a high salute, praises and respect to his brave, innovative, 'can-do' spirit and meaningful endeavors that have inspired his fellow Americans and many worldwide."He’s good for your country and good for the world. So many things he did right. (Yes.) So many things he did good for the Americans, not to talk about for the world. Think about it, look back, see what he has done. And you will know what I’m talking about. If you really want your country better, improved, please let President Trump continue his mission. Because Heaven wants that way."We pray the world’s future continues to brighten in peace and happiness with His Excellency Donald Trump as President of the United States.

“How many more patients do we want to see languishing in the hospitals between life and death, or dead because of that piece of meat that we put in our mouth? How many more families we want to break up due to this kind of disease and death caused by meat? How many more children we want to see suffer with heart disease, cancers at a young age already, because of the meat diet? And how much more energies do we want to waste in producing meat? How much more grains, food do we want to waste to raise animals at the cost of starvation of millions of other people? Right now we have 1 billion people already go to bed hungry. Every 5 seconds a child dies from hunger – every 5 seconds, while I’m sitting here talking to you. How many children dying or dead already? How many more we want to see? How long we can afford to bargain in the face of these sufferings of our own kind and of the animals, of the environment?” The answer is clear. We must stop the degrading practice of meat-eating to save ourselves and our world. For centuries, humans have been indulging in this unethical, unhealthy, and unsustainable meat habit. Time is of the essence and if we want to preserve our beautiful planet for precious future generations, we need to act now to end all animal exploitation practices and adopt a vegan lifestyle as advised by Supreme Master Ching Hai. "Once we are successful in being vegan ourselves, with organic vegan being even better by the way, we can start inviting others to join us. Ask your friends and colleagues over for dinner and lunch, and introduce them to vegan dishes along the way. They can see for themselves how tasty and healthy it is. We can also pass out flyers that show the health and environmental advantages of being vegan, complete with all the famous, smart, beautiful and strong examples of vegans, like movie stars, athletes, fitness training gurus, etc., etc. Meanwhile, you also can write to the government, schools and other important organizations to let them know the urgency of our climate, and the importance of being veg, with any materials you need freely available from www.SupreMaster.com Or, please ask our Association members to help you. All the vegetarian and vegans should go all out to inform people and tell them the grave situation of our time due to the meat diet and convince others to switch to vegetarianism (veganism). I would call on all the vegetarians and vegans, don’t just be a quiet vegetarian, least of all, a closet vegetarian. You are the pioneers, the heroes, the world saviors. Come out and showcase your most needed shining example. Help in any way you can. Be an active vegetarian; the world needs you." There are so many ways to help others realize the urgency of adopting the plant-based diet. Let’s all do what we can to help people realize the truth in hopes that our world will heal and become a place where all beings are treasured and respected in equality.

Deve lottare fino alla fine, Signor Presidente. Mentre sto parlando ora, non so quanti bambini sono morti là fuori. Perché lei porta la pace, così i bambini del futuro non soffriranno più quel destino. Non può arrendersi. Deve lottare per loro, Signor Presidente! Il 24 novembre 2020, la nostra amatissima Maestra ha amorevolmente chiamato per controllare come sta uno dei membri della squadra di Supreme Master Television. Ha parlato della sua preoccupazione per il Presidente degli Stati Uniti, Sua Eccellenza Donald Trump e ha condiviso un urgente, messaggio sincero per lui. Ciao, ciao, possiamo parlare? (Sì.) Sei occupata? ( No, sto bene. ) Bene. Voglio solo chiederti se sei tornata o meno alla normalità. Stai meglio? ( Ci sto arrivando, Maestra. ) Pian piano. (Sì.) Stai meglio al 70%? (Sì.) Bene. Domani 80, il giorno dopo, 90. Poi, il giorno dopo 100%. (Grazie Maestra.) Capito? (Sì.) Le ragazze ti hanno portato il cibo? Ho chiesto loro di portarlo a casa tua, se sei troppo stanca per uscire. ( Sono riuscita a prendere del cibo da sola, ma, hanno provato e ho detto "Va bene" e sono andata a prenderlo da sola. ) Va bene allora. È anche meglio non arrendersi, per se stessi, (Sì.) perché il corpo ascolterà. Pensano: "Oh, dice che non sto bene, non posso andarci. " E le cellule fanno così. (Capisco, Maestra.) Sì, quindi dici a te stessa "Sono tenace, posso farcela. Va bene, è solo temporaneo. " (Sì. Grazie per la Sua preoccupazione.) Anche io ho problemi, ma non mi interessa. Mi sono detta: “Ci sei abituata. Lo sai già. (Sì.) Non è niente di nuovo." Mi sono detta: "Hai avuto mal di testa prima, hai sofferto prima; stai zitta." Mi sono detta così. Sono felice che ci stai arrivando. (Grazie.) Se non hai voglia di mangiare il cibo solido, cucina un po’ di zuppa. (Sì, sì, Maestra.) Zuppa di verdure e brodo e frutta fresca, sono cibi per la guarigione. (Sì.) Non fanno lavorare troppo il corpo, così si concentra sulla guarigione. (Sì, Maestra.) E fai esercizio, aria fresca. Va bene? (Sì, Maestra.) O esci e cammina, cammina in giardino, nelle vicinanze. (Sì.) Va bene. Hai letto qualcosa di nuovo? No? Sì? ( No, non proprio. Non ho letto molto le notizie. ) Sì, sì, perché non stai bene. Bene. Io ho letto oggi. Non ho letto il giorno prima, ieri, perché avevo troppo lavoro. (Sì.) Ma ho appena acceso il telefono, perché mi serve per inviare qualcosa. (Sì, Maestra.) E poi ho visto che il vostro Presidente Trump, è pronto per la transizione e ho pensato, cosa succede. (Oh no.) Rinuncia? Non dovrebbe. (No.) Non è ancora la fine. Giusto? (Sì.) Anche se non vincerà, e allora? Non ha niente da perdere adesso. No? (No.) Bene. Forse può permettere la transizione, ma non dovrebbe arrendersi. So che è molto difficile per lui. (Sì.) Perché ho letto i titoli sul mio cellulare, (Sì.) Sembrano essere tutti contro di lui. Quasi tutti. Tranne i suoi sostenitori, ma i suoi sostenitori non hanno gran voce, come quelle persone che sono contro di lui. (Sì.) Sono i media, sono il Senato, sono il GOP [Grand Old Party]. È il ... che cos'è? (I Repubblicani.) GOP, chiunque sia. (Sì.) Immaginavo fossero i Repubblicani. L’ho pensato. Voglio dire, mio ​​Dio, se non possono aiutarlo, non dovrebbero buttarlo giù. Sai cosa intendo? (Sì, Maestra.) Significa provare a scoraggiarlo. (Giusto.) Provare a demoralizzarlo. Mio Dio, quell'uomo è già quasi a terra. Non dovrebbero farlo. Non è carino. (No.) Non credo che queste persone siano dello stesso partito o forse stanno nello stesso partito ma non lo sono, non so se hanno buoni ideali per il mondo o per qualsiasi cosa. Mi dispiace! Beh, non mi dispiace. Sono una cittadina libera. Abbiamo libertà di parola. Giusto? (Sì, Maestra.) Non sto facendo nomi, ma non sono d'accordo con queste persone che stanno ridicolizzando il tuo presidente. È ancora un presidente. Chiaro? (Sì. Sì, Maestra.) È ancora il Presidente degli Stati Uniti d'America. Non dovrebbe arrendersi ancora. (Sì, Maestra.) Non fino all'ultimo secondo, finché non è la fine. ( Sì, sì, Maestra. ) Mi dispiace così tanto per lui, sai? L'ho letto e ho pianto. Ho pensato… Spero che non si sia arreso, perché sto ancora pregando per lui. (Sì.) E poi forse cambierà ancora, sai? Non voglio dire niente, perché a volte non si dovrebbero dire cose, chiaro? (Capisco, Maestra.) Non si dovrebbero rivelare cose, perché siamo nel mondo nemico, sai? Non siamo in Paradiso. Non siamo a casa nostra. Si? (Sì, Maestra.) Ecco perché quando mi chiedi molte cose, dico che non posso dirtele. Vedi? (Capisco, sì.) Perché se hai una spia intorno a te, non puoi parlare ad alta voce perché sei preoccupato che i nemici ti ascoltino. Sì? (Sì.) Ma per questo genere di cose non si può nemmeno parlare ad alta voce. (Sì.) Perché ci sono spie invisibili, capisci cosa intendo? (Sì, capisco.) E cercheranno di trovare un modo per contrastare e poi ti creeranno problemi. (Oh.) Ritarderanno il tuo piano, rovineranno la tua idea, o rovineranno il tuo programma, o lo sai? Tutto così, tante cose, ma ho ancora molte speranze e prego per lui. Voi, ragazzi, pregate ancora per lui? (Sì, Maestra.) Ditelo a tutti i vostri colleghi. (Sì, Maestra.) Non posso costringere nessuno, non posso raccomandare o altro, chiedo solo se è possibile. Va bene? (Sì.) Pregate per lui, (Lo faremo.) Spero che Trump non si arrenda. Stavo pensando, c'è un modo in cui posso contattarlo e dirglielo e confortarlo, e incoraggiarlo? Ma io non sono nessuno. Non conosco nessun Repubblicano. (Oh.) Sì, certo, Capisci quello che dico? (Sì, Maestra.) Perché non mi sono mai impegnata in politica, né me ne sono mai interessata. (Sì.) Ma questo, voglio dirlo al signor Trump, se non lo ha mai sentito, o spero che qualcuno dei suoi leali membri forse gli dica quello che voglio dirgli io: "La prego, signor Trump, non si arrenda. Per favore, non si arrenda. Perché non è per lei. So che se fossi stata in lei, mi sarei arresa molto tempo fa. Non mi interessa questa posizione, Presidente o quello che è... non significa niente per me. Forse non significa niente anche per lei, ma è la sua gente, si sono fidati di lei e non per lei che deve lottare per una presidenza che ha guadagnato giustamente. La gente la ama. Non solo gli americani, la gente nel mondo la ama. E noi la amiamo. Va bene? Non la conosciamo, non abbiamo alcun rapporto con lei, ma le vogliamo bene, sappiamo che lei è un bravo, bravo, brav'uomo. Perché ha fatto molte cose giuste a cui la gente si opponeva, per esempio se esce dalla NATO, io lo approvo. Che cosa fanno? Perché devono ricevere tanti soldi dei contribuenti solo per prepararsi a uccidere la gente? È inutile. E anche altre organizzazioni un giorno dicono questo, un giorno dicono quello, si contraddicono e confondono le persone. Vengono pagati, ma non fanno bene il loro lavoro. Quindi, qualunque organizzazione decida di uscire, penso che abbia fatto la cosa giusta! Finché non cambiano. Va bene? Forse nessuno le ha detto che ha fatto la cosa giusta, ma glielo dico io ora. Sto rischiando la mia reputazione di praticante spirituale, come insegnante di fiducia di molte persone nel mondo. Sto rischiando anche la mia sicurezza per dirle questo. Non per … lei, ma per le cose che ha fatto a beneficio di tutto il mondo. Deve lottare fino alla fine, Signor Presidente. Non è per lei, non per le sue famiglie. Ha dei figli, lei capisce, lei sa come si amano i propri figli, immagini se i suoi figli fossero bombardati, resi storpi, uccisi proprio davanti a lei... come si sentirebbe? Ma è così che centinaia di migliaia di bambini muoiono. Mentre sto parlando ora, non so quanti bambini sono morti là fuori. Morti giovani, innocenti, morti ingiustamente. Perché lei porta la pace, così i bambini del futuro non soffriranno più quel destino, deve... deve combattere, non può arrendersi. Deve lottare per loro, Signor Presidente! Non chiedo mai a nessuno di fare niente. Ma lo chiedo a lei, perché ho la speranza che sia l'unico che può farlo e lo ha dimostrato. Non ha mai detto che quando sarebbe diventato presidente avrebbe portato la pace, ma lo ha fatto, ha portato la pace. E quante centinaia o migliaia o milioni di vite umane saranno salvate? Quanti paesi saranno stabilizzati, e avranno pace e avranno prosperità e continueranno a vivere grazie a lei. Per favore, lotti per loro. Finora, non tutti possono portare la pace come fa lei, quindi, per favore, continui a lottare. Non importa, non può prevedere se vincerà o perderà. Questo dipende anche dal karma del suo paese e del mondo, quindi lotti. Faccia ciò che è giusto, perché ha giustamente vinto le elezioni, Il Cielo me lo ha detto e lo so. So molte cose che non posso dire a nessuno. Ma il tempo lo dirà. Non si può arrendere, perché forse l'altro partito arriverà e poi andranno a bombardare i bambini, a bombardare le donne, a bombardare ancora persone innocenti e nessuno potrà fermarli. E questi paesi … non sono paesi occidentali, non sono l'America. Molti non possono permettersi l'assistenza medica che gli occidentali o gli americani possono permettersi. Sono paesi poveri, sono già poveri e se sono feriti, handicappati, paralizzati dalle bombe, dalle armi, da qualsiasi cosa durante la guerra, moriranno o soffriranno, soffriranno, soffriranno. Per favore, ci pensi. Ciò che lei ha fatto è stato giusto. So che non accetta il cambiamento climatico, perché non l'ha studiato. È stato molto occupato con la sua attività, con altre cose. Non la biasimo, ma io so, ho fiducia che se ne sapesse di più, farebbe immediatamente qualcosa. Sta facendo qualcosa, ma non è il punto principale. Io sostengo il veganismo, perché il veganismo porta la pace e la prosperità e la stabilizzazione per il clima. Non sto cercando di farle la predica su questo, ma ho fiducia in lei. Almeno lei porta la pace e salva la vita degli umani, lei salva la vita agli americani, questi giovani, belli, avvenenti, intelligenti ragazzi e ragazze non possono essere sprecati in terra straniera o in altra terra. Così ha salvato le loro vite, ha portato felicità alle loro famiglie, ha portato sorrisi alle loro mogli, ai loro figli, e per questo, la ringrazio molto e anche il mondo la ringrazia per avere un po’ di pace nel futuro. E questo significa molto per il Cielo e la Terra, significa molto per il mondo intero. Quindi non è per lei che deve lottare, deve pensare agli altri. E so che lei... non è per il veganismo, va bene, fa quello che può. Va bene? Non la biasimo, perché molte persone sanno del veganismo, sanno che è bene per il mondo. E molti sanno per certo cosa può salvare il clima e se ne vantano. Dicono che lo faranno, che faranno questo per il clima e alludono al fatto che porteranno avanti il veganismo e tutto il resto, sono tutte parole vuote. Non significano nulla per me, non significa niente per nessuno. Lei almeno è diretto ed è onesto. Lei non ci crede, dice che non ci crede, e in qualsiasi cosa lei creda, non se ne vanta, non promettete nulla, lo fa e basta. E subito, in fretta, il più velocemente possibile. Quindi, sono davvero grata alla sua leadership, per favore cerchi di continuare a reclamare il posto che le spetta ... come un vincitore.”Stiamo bene, ragazza? (Sì.) Perché ho sentito un rumore, forse stai piangendo. Ho pensato che forse... te lo dico... mi dispiace, sono così emotiva, ma il vostro presidente non dovrebbe arrendersi. (Sì, Maestra. Grazie.) Non ho mai sostenuto nessun leader in questo modo, lo sai. (Sì, lo so, Maestra.) Lo sai per certo (Sì.) e non credo che lo farò mai più. Quindi, è davvero dal mio cuore, non dal teleprompter o qualcosa del genere o da qualsiasi testo già pronto, o da un ghostwriter o altro. (Sì, Maestra.) Viene tutto dal mio cuore. E spero solo che in qualche modo, le mie parole sincere e sentite raggiungano il vostro presidente. (Lo spero anch'io, Maestra.) E... forse, gli daranno solo un po' più d’incoraggiamento. In modo che non si arrenda. Stanno attaccando il suo orgoglio. (Sì, Maestra.) Lo stanno provocando, in modo che si arrenda. Ma questa è solo una trappola, è un trucco. Non dovrebbe farlo. È un uomo intelligente, non dovrebbe farlo. Non dovrebbe ascoltare nessuno a parte il suo cuore (Sì.) e Dio. Ascolti gli angeli che la circondano; ascolti Dio sopra di lei, perché lei è un uomo giusto. (Sì.) Ed è per questo che le dico ciò, Signor Presidente. Non mi sento in imbarazzo di mostrare le mie emozioni e di sostenerla, perché so che è giusto. non sto sostenendo lei, Signor Trump, sostengo i suoi ideali, il suo lavoro, le sue azioni salvavita, perché molto raramente il mondo può vedere un leader come lei. Quindi, per favore... voglio dirle, è un ordine. Deve lottare. Lei è un uomo, non si arrenda. È tutto quello che voglio dirle. Anche se le mettono pressione, la mettono in imbarazzo, l’hanno umiliata, l’hanno degradata, provano ogni genere di cose solo per farle pressione per rinunciare in fretta, non lo faccia. Perché tutti i grandi uomini, grandi donne, che sono destinati a fare qualcosa di grande per il mondo, davvero grande, non sono mai sostenuti al 100% dal mondo - quasi il contrario. Questo è il prezzo che queste grandi persone devono pagare. È così che stanno le cose. Quindi continui a fare quello che può. Lavori con i suoi avvocati, i suoi amici fidati, i suoi sostenitori. Deve anche considerare i suoi sostenitori che hanno il cuore spezzato per il risultato ingiusto delle elezioni. Alcuni rischiano il loro lavoro, la loro incolumità per difenderla. Quindi, per tutte queste persone, e per il mondo, deve continuare. Non può arrendersi. Anche io ho avuto molte difficoltà nella mia missione, fino ad ora, ma non mi sono arresa. Quindi, se lei è un uomo, dovrebbe essere migliore. Lei è un uomo, non puoi arrendersi, non fino all’ultimo istante, se non c'è più speranza, non c'è più modo di uscire dalla lotta. Deve continuare, signor Presidente. Vorrei poter consegnarglielo di persona, ma io non sono nessuno, nell'arena politica. Non ho alcun potere. Voglio solo comunicarle la mia onesta e sincera richiesta. Le faccio i miei migliori auguri, tutta la fortuna che merita Le auguro tutta la protezione dal Cielo e dagli uomini. Amen. (Amen.) Va bene, ragazza, credo di essere a corto di fiato, ora. (Oh, Maestra.) Sì. Bene. (Grazie, Maestra.) Hai qualcosa da dirmi? Altrimenti vado a continuare il mio lavoro. (Va bene, Maestra. Grazie.) Questo è solo uno sfogo improvviso, ma volevo davvero parlarne. (Sì, Maestra, capisco.) Ora l’ho detto. Spero che le mie parole arriveranno al vostro presidente. (Sì, Maestra.) Perché la mia sincerità conta. (Sì, lo so.) La mia sincera buona volontà conta. (Sì.) Spero che alcuni dei repubblicani che lo conoscono, possano dargli questo messaggio. Non so se a qualcuno interessa davvero quello che dico, ma spero che forse in qualche modo trovino un modo per arrivare a lui. (Sì.) Solo per ricordargli che deve continuare il suo cammino, e per quale motivo, capisci cosa intendo? (Sì, Maestra.) Non è per se stesso, quindi non dovrebbe essere imbarazzato o sentirsi depresso o sentirsi scoraggiato da chiunque. (Giusto.) Dovrebbe solo ascoltare il suo cuore. Ascoltare gli angeli, ascoltare Dio. (Sì, Maestra.) E continuare la sua missione. (Sì.) Bene. (Sì.) Hai qualcosa da dirmi? (No, Maestra. Grazie.) No, eh? Penso che anche tu non riesci più a dire nulla, giusto? Cosa ne pensi? Cosa vorresti dirgli come cittadina americana? So che forse non siamo niente, ma puoi dire quello che vuoi, lascialo uscire. Chi lo sa... ( Non voglio che si arrenda, ) Sì. ( perché voglio che il mondo sia in pace ) Sì. ( Ed è uno dei rari leader che ha il coraggio di essere pacifico e non fare sempre guerra per ogni cosa. ) Sì. ( E ha il coraggio di essere diverso e di essere pacifico, e il mondo ha bisogno di ciò in questo momento e non possiamo continuare ad andare avanti in questo modo. ) Sì, sì. ( Quindi apprezzo molto le parole della Maestra per lui. Spero che ascolti. ) Sì, va bene. Sì, ok. E possiamo continuare a pregare per lui. (Sì.) Che a qualcuno importi o meno. Noi lo facciamo e basta. (Sì, Maestra.) Perché penso che sia la nostra unica speranza. (Sì.) Anche per un Mondo Vegano o il cambiamento climatico. Perché molte persone lo usano per motivi politici, (Sì.) per ottenere voti o per guadagnare la fiducia o per raccogliere fondi, (Sì.) qualunque siano i loro motivi, ma non fanno molto. Fino ad ora, il clima sta peggiorando, e le persone soffrono di carestia e siccità, e il tempo è impazzito, di tutto. E lo sanno tutti. (Sì.) E dicono che faranno questo, faranno quello. Non fanno niente. Niente di essenziale. (Sì.) E così, anche se il Presidente, lui... mi hanno detto ha negato il cambiamento climatico. Non ne sapevo molto, perché non ho letto le notizie o qualsiasi altra cosa da anni. (Sì, capisco.) Solo forse ogni tanto, (succede) qualcosa di speciale, così do un'occhiata ai titoli dei giornali. Ma è solo ora che lo sto facendo tanto, a causa della pandemia che è come nessun'altra malattia prima d'ora. (Sì, Maestra.) E sono preoccupata per i nostri compagni umani, quindi continuo a seguire le notizie. Tutto quello che posso dire, l'ho detto. E io aiuto in qualsiasi cosa posso aiutare, almeno la nostra gente, i tuoi fratelli e sorelle iniziati. (Sì.) Mi sento responsabile come insegnante Devo proteggervi, quindi devo sapere molte cose. (Sì. Grazie, Maestra.) Anche se lo so, ma devo avere prove scientifiche. (Sì, capisco.) Pertanto, devo continuare a seguire tutto questo. E poi, tra l'altro, so del signor Trump e di tutte queste... azioni sleali e ingiustificate di tutti contro di lui. Non è giusto, non è bello. (No.) Spero che i suoi sostenitori continuino a sostenerlo, almeno mentalmente, emotivamente, gli stiano a fianco. (Sì.) E non lascino che si senta troppo solo, e sia solo, e circondato da tutti questi brutali cosiddetti amici, e colleghi, e i membri del partito, e i media e tutto questo... oh mio Dio! (Sì.) Come ... picchiare su una persona. Credo di aver detto abbastanza. Vuoi dirgli altro? Forse non ti sentirà mai, ma lo dici e basta. Chi lo sa? Ti togli il peso. Proprio come sto facendo io ora. Non so nemmeno se lo saprà mai. ( Sì. È solo che non voglio che di arrenda e io... Signor Presidente, sappia che che le vogliamo bene e... sia forte, per favore. ) Lui è l'unica speranza per il mondo in questo momento. (Sì.) Altri leader fanno i loro affari come al solito, solo per essere pagati, solo per essere votati, qualsiasi cosa.. Solo per compiacere tutti gli altri intorno, che sia giusto o sbagliato. (Sì.) È l'unico che dice quello che pensa e fa quello che ritiene giusto. (Sì.) Anche se non ha promesso niente. (Sì.) È così che dovrebbe essere un leader, dovrebbe essere diretto. (Sì.) Onesto. (Sì. Autentico.) Autentico, sì, proprio così. Autentico, questa è la parola. È un tipo autentico. (Sì.) Ed è per questo che mi piace. Anche il Cielo lo ama. Lo sostengono tutti. Tutti i Cieli vogliono che vinca. E innumerevoli persone nel mondo vogliono che sia di nuovo Presidente. (Sì.) Vorrei addirittura che potesse essere Presidente per sempre. (Wow.) Sì, ma non ci sono emendamenti del genere, giusto, in America? (No.) Ogni presidente può servire solo per un massimo di due termini, giusto? (Sì.) Ma in Russia, il loro presidente può essere presidente per molto tempo. (Sì.) Penso che forse si dovrebbe cambiare la vostra costituzione. Ah, sì, dovrebbero cambiare. (Sì.) Modificarla. Affinché un buon presidente, come il Presidente Trump, rimanga per sempre. O per tutto il tempo necessario. (Sì.) O finché la gente non lo vuole più. (Sì.) Se fa qualcosa di sbagliato. Ma questo presidente farà sempre meglio. (Wow, sì.) E se avessi un po' di potere, cambierei la legge e lascerei che sia lui a governare, che aiuti il mondo nella sua potente posizione. (Sì.) Perché in questo mondo, se non si ha questo tipo di potere mondano, allora non si può fare molto. Quindi, è un bene. In Russia, il Presidente Putin può essere presidente quasi per sempre. Hanno cambiato la costituzione. E perché no, se non fa niente di sbagliato, se porta sicurezza e pace al suo paese. (Sì.) Almeno la pace (Sì.) e la prosperità. (Sì, Maestra.) Non opprime la gente e le persone sono libere di fare quello che vogliono, vanno dove vogliono, e vivono la loro vita. (Sì.) Almeno la pace. La pace è la migliore medicina per qualsiasi paese. (Sì.) Voglio dire ancora una cosa. Va bene? (Sì, Maestra.) Bene. Questo è più ufficiale e serio. Presidente Trump, prima sono stata troppo emotiva, voglio aggiungere qualcosa in tutta calma. Seriamente, deve continuare a combattere la sua battaglia legale, fino a quando non potrà più combattere. Non può arrendersi. Deve pensare a tutte le vittime della guerra fino ad ora. Non parliamo di una lunga storia di guerre, parliamo di quasi due decenni di guerra in Afghanistan, per esempio. Quante persone sono morte, quanti bambini hanno sofferto, quante vedove. Pensi a loro. Lo sa, da un giorno all'altro diventano vedove, e poi da un giorno all'altro, forse, sono costrette ad essere schiave di qualche ricco del villaggio o ad essere molestate da loro, in modo che possano avere qualcosa per sopravvivere per il bene dei figli. Pensi ai bambini ... improvvisamente diventati orfani, senzatetto. Braccia e gambe perdute, strisciano per strada per un po' di pane ammuffito, sopportando bullismo, persecuzioni, o molestie, ovunque durante la guerra, a causa della guerra, o sedotti in bordelli, o si uniscono a gruppi rivoluzionari, etichettati come “terroristi”. E poi essere bombardati di nuovo, una seconda volta, una terza volta... finché quello che rimane della fede in Dio non è distrutto, e anche la sua vita è distrutta! Non avranno mai più un futuro, se non sui sanguinosi campi di battaglia, nelle infinite guerre sanguinose. Oppure saranno sfruttati nel lavoro minorile in qualche lavoro sottopagato da qualche parte. Ma poi, non potranno neanche lavorare in pace per guadagnarsi la loro magra sopravvivenza. Perché alcuni ipocriti arriveranno con grandi abiti e grandi telecamere e una grande troupe, a denunciare il capo per lavoro minorile forzato, ecc., ecc. Poi il bambino non avrà più neanche questa magra esistenza. Allora può immaginare cosa ne sarà di loro. Possono solo unirsi ai cosiddetti "terroristi", o entrare in un bordello o strisciare per le strade, da qualche parte. O essere molestati senza che a nessuno importi nulla, perché non hanno un posto dove andare. Non possono essere altro che dei ripudiati, come spazzatura della società, nel nostro mondo. La prego, signor Presidente, ciò non può continuare per sempre. La guerra genererà altra guerra; genererà più cosiddetti "terroristi". E più cosiddetti "terroristi" genereranno altra guerra. È un ciclo senza fine. Lei può terminarlo. Lei lo ha fatto in parte, terminando la guerra. La soluzione è nella Bibbia con cui prega ogni giorno "Ciò che seminate, raccoglierete." Solo l'energia benevola della PACE e del VEGANISMO respingerà la forza del male. Allora tutto andrà bene. Perché perdonare solo un tacchino? Perdoni tutti! Proprio come il suo Segretario della Difesa, il Signor Miller, ha detto, "Tutte le guerre devono finire. " Non c'è mai una buona guerra. Non siamo nati su questo pianeta per uccidere, e uccidere e uccidere. Che si tratti di esseri umani o animali. Tutte queste guerre devono finire. E noi contiamo su di lei. Molte persone contano su di lei. Innumerevoli persone la ringraziano per aver portato la pace nel loro paese, in modo che possano avere un sospiro di sollievo e guardare verso un futuro più luminoso. Va bene, non continuerò a parlare troppo. Deve combattere, signor Presidente, la sua giusta battaglia legale. Non si arrenda - per il bene di tutte le vittime della guerra. passata, presente e futura. Dio la benedica, signor Presidente. Dio benedica l'America. Che l'America sia di nuovo grande. Grazie. Va bene, amore mio. Penso che sia meglio che torni al mio lavoro ora. (Va bene, Maestra.) In origine era solo per chiederti se stai bene e poi entrambe ci siamo messe a piangere come bambini. Forse siamo diventate dei bambini. Ogni giorno, se smetto di pensare, allora riesco a concentrarmi sul mio lavoro... Potrei smettere di pensare per un po’. Ma quando sono libera un po', penso alle persone che soffrono nel mondo, a causa della guerra, (Sì.) della fame causata della guerra. E gli animali che soffrono così tanto nelle mani brutali degli umani. Oh, piango in continuazione. (Sì.) Ecco perché i miei occhi non sono più come prima. (Oh.) Volevo chiedere a qualcuno di comprarmi degli occhiali migliori. Non importa, non è così urgente, Ho ancora queste lenti d’ingrandimento. (Sì.) Porto gli occhiali, ma uso anche la lente d'ingrandimento. (Oh, wow.) Oh, sì, così posso leggere le parole sul computer. Prima potevo, ora non posso. (Oh.) Forse piango troppo, non mi fa bene. Spero solo che le mie lacrime laveranno via un po' del karma di umani e animali e ci permetteranno di avere rapidamente la pace e il veganismo. (Sì. Sì, Maestra.) Ho parlato con i tuoi fratelli e le tue sorelle. Ho detto preghiamo per un Mondo Vegano in due giorni. (Sì, ho visto.) Forse le persone esterne, non lo faranno. Ma almeno noi lo facciamo. (Sì, Maestra.) E sarà meglio. Più veloce. Perché prima non potevo chiedere troppo così. Deve essere un po' più graduale. (Sì.) Perché se le persone esterne meditano e pregano con noi, il potere sarà troppo per loro. (Sì.) Ma ora forse ci sono già abituate. (Sì.) Quindi possiamo aumentare il potere delle benedizioni in quell'incontro di preghiera. (Va bene. Grazie, Maestra.) Prego, continua ad avere cura di te. (Sì, Maestra. Grazie.) Non è tutta colpa tua. È il karma del mondo ed è l'influenza della negatività che ancora persiste negli esseri umani. (Sì, Maestra.) Bene. Sopportiamo tutto, paghiamo tutto. Paghiamo qualsiasi cosa finché gli altri abbiano pace e sicurezza. (Sì, capisco.) Facciamo del nostro meglio. Grazie. Dio ti benedica. (Grazie, Maestra.) Dio ti benedica. (Si prenda cura di Lei. Sì.) Sì, e Dio ti ricompensa in silenzio. Ti parlerò la prossima volta. Va bene? (Va bene, Maestra. Grazie.) Va bene. Ma se proprio non puoi... se non te la senti, lasciati aiutare dalle ragazze. (Sì, Maestra.) Perché portano solo un po' di cibo. Non è niente di che. Vivete vicine. Va bene? (Sì, Maestra.) Forse un giorno, dovrai farlo tu per loro. (Sì.) Sai, tutti hanno delle giornate sfavorevoli o di malessere fisico. Non esitare, non sentirti in imbarazzo. (Va bene, Maestra. Grazie.) Di niente. Abbi cura di te, Davvero, ragazza. (Sì.) Ti voglio bene. (Grazie. Anch'io Le voglio bene, Maestra.) Sì. Ciao. (Ciao.) La nostra più profonda gratitudine alla compassionevolissima Somma Maestra Ching Hai, per il Suo Amore misericordioso per tutti gli esseri e la condivisione di questo importante messaggio per il Presidente Donald Trump e il futuro del nostro mondo. Preghiamo che il Presidente Trump senta e ascolti le parole della Maestra e continui con forza e con la protezione del Cielo la sua nobile presidenza di pace per il benessere di tutti i cittadini del mondo, in Amore Divino.

Well-versed in many religious teachings and practices, Supreme Master Ching Hai has graciously explained this core principle. “There are Ten Commandments in the Bible. The first one is ‘Thou shalt not kill.’ When we kill any living being, we commit the act of kill. As long as it has life, it counts as killing. It doesn’t say ‘not to kill people’; it says ‘not to kill,’ meaning not to take any life. Similarly, in Buddhism, the first precept is the most important and it is also not to kill.” “And in Buddhism, the law of cause and effect is absolute and exact. Whatever you do to others, it will be done to us in some way or another. Not only Buddhism, Christians say the same, ‘As you sow, so shall you reap.’ And any other religion you look carefully, you will see the law of karma, the cause and effect: whatever you do, it will be done to you. Therefore, Confucius said, ‘Do not do to others what you do not desire for yourself.’ Because He also knew the law of cause and effect - meaning whatever you do, you will get the result, the bad or good.” “Most of the time we study but we do not practice. For example, Christianity, the Bible says ‘Thou shall not kill’ and ‘do not be among the meat eaters and wine drinkers.’ Not be among them even, not to talk about become one of them, like meat eaters. These are very simple things, but I think many of us have overlooked. And the Buddha also taught us to be vegetarian, not to eat any sentient beings at all because they’re all our relatives and friends – meaning we are all interconnected. Hinduism teaches the same, Jainism teaches the same: avoid killing of any manner.” “Obviously, the eating of any kind of animals, sentient beings is absolutely forbidden in all main belief systems and holy teachings. Yet too many of God’s children, or religious believers, are not following these basic guidelines, because we have been led astray by misconceptions that we need to eat the flesh of animals, fish, eggs and milk to be healthy. The opposite is true – it has been proven in scientific and clinical studies that consuming animals causes innumerable diseases in humans, such as cancers, all kinds of cancers and heart diseases, thus early death, and endless sorrow, suffering before that. Our original diet, as per the Garden of Eden, is the vegan diet. It promotes both physical and mental and spiritual wellbeing. We can live happy, healthy lives, thriving purely on plant foods.”

As most humans have lost the ability to telepathically communicate with each other and other beings, we do not know how animals think and feel. Fortunately, there are spiritual practitioners and animal communicators who can perceive the thoughts and feelings of animals. Today, we’ll present some of these people’s personal experiences encountering animals. “(It scared me also, that I can talk to the animals.) Why? It's good! (Yeah, because I didn't expect that they can respond me in the psychic. Sometimes when I pass by on the street and the dogs come by and I can hear his feeling or what he wants. Like sometimes I talk to them, but they are very scared. They keep distance from people, you know, they have broken heart, and they can hardly believe anymore that people can mean goodness to them.)” “(Recently, I went to a conference hall in Greece, and previously, it was a slaughterhouse.) Ah! Yes! (And I started feeling uncomfortable, and had pictures of panic and fright, and I didn't know why. I felt the pain and the panic. So, I started reciting the (Holy) Names, and I really cried for them, and I saw Your presence there. And their souls, I felt that their souls were liberated. They were previously entrapped in pain, in a level of pain. And through the reciting of the (Holy) Names and the prayer, they were liberated. ) Yeah, wonderful! (And I was grateful, and they were grateful immediately.) Oh, I am grateful to you, that you were there. (Thank You!) They were liberated... You bring love and blessing to them. (Yes, thanks to You, thanks to You. I brought You there, and it was such peace all over the place, and I immediately felt better, so I knew, I knew.)” “(I’d like to share something about the animals. I used to go and visit the cows. There was a field nearby with the cows. And sometimes I just needed to get something out, something off my chest and I’d cry from the bottom of my heart. And whenever I felt that way, the cows, I’d go and visit them, and they’d come right up to the fence every single time. And they also, they said a few things. They said they were very grateful for Supreme Master Television, for the work that You’re doing, for the work that all the disciples are doing. And sometimes I’d see one or two of the cows crying. And they said that it wasn’t because they knew of their fate, that they were going to die. They were crying for mankind.) They really feel sorry for humans, they don’t hate humans for hurting them even, the animals. When we’re hurting them, they are praying for us. They’re forgiving and they feel sorry for us so much. Because they feel that humans are so ignorant, they really didn’t know what they’re doing. So they feel very sorry. Yeah, so it’s good that you have such experience, very profound.”

Meat is not the only exploitative product that humans derive out of the helpless animals. There are numerous other products from animals that people consume and wear, such as honey, swallow nest, bear bile, leather, and all kinds of fur. Sadly, humans have been exploiting almost all species of animals. Supreme Master Ching Hai has condemned these cruel practices in many of Her lectures. "(We know from documentaries that the fur industry causes some of the most extreme suffering to animals, and that animals can be killed specifically for leather products. We also see that collecting feathers from birds like geese and wool from sheep involves cruelty. What is the merit lost from making or selling these clothing related products of fur, feathers, wool and/or leather? Thank You, Master.) Why do we talk about merit lost when we don’t even have any merit anyway? I mean, we can only talk about sins accumulated. But 'merit loss' is a very kind way to put it. We lose immense amount of merits, if we have any. And if we don’t have, we’re going to pay for it dearly, dearly, dearly, dearly. Yes. Anything that causes suffering to animals – for fur, for meat, for wool, for leather, anything like that – will incur very, very bad, bad, bad karmic consequences, and we will have to pay dearly with our own suffering." "I don’t see any beauty in clubbing a seal or smashing the head of a fox in order to put it on your back. My God, we have so many things that we don’t need... Yes, many things we can wear without being so wicked to other less defensive beings. This is terrible. This is really below our dignity to even think about it." For many millennia, out of ignorance, humans have exploited countless innocent beings and caused immeasurable suffering, reaping disastrous karmic consequences for our planet that are now becoming more and more evident. It’s not too late to heed the warnings of our beloved Supreme Master Ching Hai and stop these inhuman practices once and for all. We need to U-turn now to save our Earth, to save our souls, and to ensure a beautiful, kind future for our children.
