Be Vegan, Make PeaceMaster Saysbecause you have a digestion problem, becauseyou eat too many things that are not good orare not constructive to your blood’s purity. Andsometimes, you eat something in your mouth,but your liver has problems. And sometimessomeone has a cut here, but then he has infectionelsewhere. It goes into his liver. Or the personsmokes here on his mouth, but his lungs willhave cancer, for example. And if he eats meattoo much or too much fat and so on, the heartwill have problems. It’s because the wholebody is one. Similarly, the whole world is one.So, disaster will happen here, or it will happenthere. It’s the same. It’s a warning for humanityas the consequence of actions that we took.I have also done my best all these yearsto try to remind everyone of the same message,that we have to be loving and kind. Probably Ihave said more than enough of what should besaid. So it’s up to everyone now to decide thecourse of their lives, which are also linked to allothers’ lives and to the survival of this planet.I do pray at the New Year’s Eve that everyonechooses the wise path of the saints and sages,which is love and respect for all beings onthe planet, so that they themselves will alsobe loved and respected in Heaven, now andhereafter. By the way, I thank all of you whowrote to me about the changes in your life, thatyou have turned back to your own Self, yourglorious and original Nature, which is lovingkindness. I thank all of you who are betteringyour own life and in turn bettering the world bycleaning up society with your own example by,for example, quitting smoking, stoppinggambling, refraining from intoxicants,choosing vegan, helping others in anyway you can, etc. I thank all of you forall that, the audience and the world’s people,the leaders and citizens of the world, all alike. Ipray God to bless your sincere effort to be goodand do good and continue in this noble way oflife.This year, I did not have the heart tocelebrate Christmas while knowing that againand again, billions of innocent animals of allkinds, from the sea to the forest, are massacredfor this occasion. Jesus was a compassionateMaster, the Son of God, and we who followJesus should be the same. Also, there’s somuch turmoil in the world, it just wouldn’t helpmy heart to feel happy in any way. I was, atChristmastime, in the mountains, very deepin the mountains. There was no water, noelectricity there, and I meditated day and nightbefore Christmas, and also after Christmas. It’sjust because at the New Year I thought, Okay,I’d go down to the city where there is a littlefacility to contact you, talk to you, maybe forthe last time. I don’t mean last time-last time,but when we’re together like this, and also thatI could talk to the whole world like this, maybefor the last time.And then we all will have to go into deepmeditation. We have talked enough. I mean,everyone has grown up and understood things.We don’t have to talk a lot in order for people tounderstand. It is the practice of the knowledge.It’s not the talking much. Anyone who has acaring heart would understand my message,even spoken once, because they cannot alsobear all this suffering caused to humansand animals alike. You know verywell.So, and by the way,for the Supreme Master26 The Supreme Master Ching Hai News No. 209
