Promote Vegeterianism :):)

[Guest guest]

Share with all some extracts on Vegeterianism (spoken by Master Ching

Hai)

 

If we did not eat meat, no one would kill, no one would raise cattle.

All the food would stay where it was and they could eat it and become

healthy and strong. It'd be good for every nation, and it'd be good

for our nation as well. We waste a lot of money on arms and on

raising animals. All the arable land is wasted nowadays on raising

cattle, pigs and the like, or most of it. So if we used these areas

to cultivate wholesome, healthy food, I think the nations would

benefit more and our nation would have more peace and no need for

armed defense. If every nation lived according to the Bible,

according to the Buddhist teachings, Thou shall not kill, Thou shall

not steal, et cetera, then the world would have no more need for

peace conferences, and would not need to waste so much coffee,

champagne and cake at round table discussions that go nowhere. The

more we talk about peace, the more war we have. It is because we go

about it in an inconsistent manner. If everyone practiced meditation

and ate a wholesome diet without any killing involved, the world

would have long since been in a peaceful state and we'd have no

hunger. There's no need to give away your property; just give up the

meat-based diet. That'd be enough to save the world, as well as your

own and the nation's health.

......

Meat is the cause of all wars and suffering in this world, as well as

that of your personal self. To refrain from eating meat is to

contribute to peace on this planet, because in this way we terminate

the cause of killing. Therefore, we will not reap the results of

being killed, or being wounded.

......

 

We can save our world, instead of killing others for our own

survival. We should rebuild our way of life, live a moral life, be a

vegetarian, cultivate ourselves mentally and physically, and there

will be immediate results. Our world will be changed at once! If

everybody is planting trees instead of cutting them down, then we

would be saved soon. Within ten years, the world would never be the

same, without any problem. Truly there is hope, but only with the co-

operation of everyone.

......

If our planet people are being vegetarian, the way environmentalists

suggest and it's justly so, and that the scientists find the way to

grow more abundantly the crops for us, then I think we can " sing " , no

problem, we can sit pretty.

......

Suppose the whole nation becomes vegetarian. Because of the gentle

atmosphere, due to no killing karma, naturally, there would be no

disasters, and life would be comfortable and healthy, the country

would be rich and strong. Being physically healthy, our mental would

also be full of energy. Many wise ideas would emerge benefiting the

country and the people. If this is the case with all countries, the

world would be peaceful. There is virtually no need for all the

conferences that consume so much champagne and steak, without

rendering much peace to the world. Perhaps, there is peace today, but

not tomorrow. Peace is restored here, but war breaks out in another

country the next day. Therefore, the world is not to be managed by

empty talks. Instead, each person should put into practice the

lessons they have learnt.

 

¡­..

 

I am sure most of the politicians know about the statistics from the

books researching the gains and losses of a meat diet versus a

vegetarian diet. They have more opportunities to read these books.

They are wealthy, and they have people to inform them, submitting the

material to them. They should know better than us. They are obliged

to manage the country and work for the people, they should know about

these facts. It is so simple, just encourage the people to be

vegetarians, and they themselves should also change to a vegetarian

diet. The world will soon be saved this way, not to mention going to

heaven through spiritual practice, and the incurred merits!

 

If the vegetarian diet can save the world, then everyone just

sacrifices a little. The political and religious figures have great

influence and authority over the people. They are free to use any

means. They have television, radio and everything. They can talk

about anything at any time. They should talk about good things,

propagating a vegetarian diet, and environmental protection. This is

the right thing to do for ourselves and our next generation. Is that

right? It is very convenient for the major political and religious

groups to do so.

 

¡­¡­¡­.

 

We respect all lives in the creative Plan of God. We can see by

ourselves that all lives resist suffering and resist death.

Therefore, when we kill or see animals being killed, they are

suffering and they try to run away. That means God empowered them

with the instinct of wanting life. If we interfere and force their

lives away, we interfere with God's will. We should treat every being

in the same way as we ourselves like to be treated. Then our lives

will be blessed with grace, with longevity and with wisdom. 'As you

sow, so shall you reap.' Then we will never blame God for any

misfortune. The more we cultivate, the better we become in speech, in

body and in mind.
