Organic Vegan Diet:
The Solution to Earth’s
“Civilization Busters”
Video message from Supreme Master Ching Hai, “Leaders Preserving
Our Future: Pace & Priorities on Climate Change”
London, United Kingdom, November 3, 2010 (Originally in English)
Hallo. My highest salute and most respectful greeting,
to the Divine within you: Your Excellencies,
distinguished decision makers of the great United
Kingdom, and welcome guests, courageous ladies and
gentlemen. It is with deep honor that I join your respected company for this urgent meeting.
As you are well aware, there are multiple global dangers
facing all lives on Earth. Experts often highlight six major
threats as the most pressing and urgent of our time, namely:
climate change, water shortage, food scarcity, deforestation,
ocean collapse, and biodiversity loss. Although each threat
on its own might cause enough damage to become a socalled
“civilization buster,” their occurrence together would
result in a global collapse, and all lives on the planet could
be destroyed.
Like many of you, I ask myself, day and night, how
we can stop going in this calamitous direction. But I’m
afraid the reality now is already too urgent. Scientists say
that water security for about 80% of the world’s people
is threatened due to drying and polluted river systems,
shrinking glaciers from South America to the Himalayas,
and groundwater levels that fall lower and lower each
year. In 2009, for the first time, the number of people
suffering from hunger exceeded 1 billion, while
disasters threatened the food security of many
