Master’s Words
Mastership is
Revealed through
Our Actions
Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, International Christmas Retreat,
Florida, USA, December 23, 2001 (Originally in English) Videotape #725
I
sometimes read reports that say people come to you because
you look so happy and so kind. And whenever we go out to
lecture and you volunteer to distribute flyers and so on, some
people tell me, “I came because they looked so kind and hap-
py, and I wondered why. So I came to have a look and see
why they’re so happy, and that’s how I came to You.” You
see? It’s because you’re so kind, so happy, so disciplined
and so good that you can convince people to go back to the
kingdom of God.
That’s mastership. Mastership doesn’t mean sit-
ting here and having the Supreme Master title and talking
about birds and dogs and so on. (Laughter) Mastership is
people recognizing you as something extraordinary, having
something above or something that they can learn. Then
you’re a teacher. If someone looks up to you as someone
who can teach them something that they don’t have or
that they don’t know, then you’re a teacher. You’re the
master of yourself.
And from then on, the whole universe knows
who you are. And the more you do it, the more you
realize yourself that you really are something: that you
teach, not by words but by actions, by example, by just
being yourself. Just your silly face is already good enough to
attract people. (Master and everyone laugh.) You don’t even have to talk. I read some reports that
said people kept going back and forth many times and didn’t want to take the flyers. But even when
you were far away, because you radiated this happiness and were so attractive, they couldn’t resist.
Finally, they had to come and take a flyer and then come to the lecture.
You see how incredibly powerful you are? And you don’t even know it. But it’s a good
thing you don’t know! (Applause) Many people distribute flyers outside but they don’t look happy,
so people don’t want to take them. But you radiate this happiness from inside; even from far away,
people can feel it and see it. So it’s a good thing that you don’t know you’re powerful, because like
this you don’t have any ego. Who needs it? We need the power but not the ego. So, you’re cool. The
more you do things, the more it reflects on you, and then you realize how powerful you are.

Master’s Teaching,
the True Holistic Lifestyle
By Colorado News Group (Originally in English)
[Boulder] On February 10, Golden Year 4 (2007), fellow practitioners from the Colorado Center
participated in the Nexus Holistic Expo in Boulder, Colorado. Displaying Master’s pictures,
cookbooks, sample booklets and alternative living flyers and bags, our booth, which was placed
in a strategic corner next to the bookstore, attracted large crowds of people.
Many visitors showed extraordinary interest in Master’s books and video lecture. A man
walked by the booth and put his ear next to the screen in order to better hear Master’s soothing
words. Then he kneeled down so he could watch the video at eye level and listen to every word
Master said. It touched our hearts to witness his great
sincerity to hear the Truth. One elderly woman warmly
explained, “It is very unusual to find a spiritual person
who does not charge for meditation and initiation.”
Therefore she wanted to know more about the Quan
Yin Method and Master. Many of the people who
stopped by the booth also expressed surprise that we
were giving away the alternative living bags for free.
Over the two days at the fair, the initiates
experienced the numerous ways that Master reaches
all sentient beings with Her grace and love.
The Aulacese New Year Festival

By Initiate-brother Vinh Lai, San Francisco, California, USA (Originally in English)
[San Francisco] Tet is a traditional Aulacese holiday to celebrate lunar New Year as well as the
coming of spring. On February 11, Golden Year 4 (2007), the initiates from San Francisco Center
joined the Tet Fair organized by the local Aulacese community. Dressed in gracious traditional
Aulacese outfits, our sisters looked like celestial beings, reminding people of their inner glory and
beauty. A lot of people were attracted to our booth and took pictures, thus had the chance to be
acquainted with Master’s teachings. We also distributed free shopping bags, which not only had

Panorama of Events
Alternative Living messages printed on them, but

also contained flyers introducing Supreme Master
Television and Master’s program on San Francisco
Local Radio, sample booklets, lists of vegetarian
restaurants, recipes and Master’s aphorisms inside.
To all the children, we gave free balloons carrying
a loving message “Love Animals. Go Veggie” and
also the website “SupremeMastertv.com/webtv.”
Furthermore, vegetarian sub-sandwiches were
prepared. People responded to our food and gifts
with great enthusiasm. In less than 5 hours, nearly
700 bags, more than 200 balloons and over two thousand flyers were shared with the public.
All the initiates worked together
in joy and harmony. It seems like San
Francisco Center is speeding up fast to
catch up with Master’s pace by doing
multi-tasks to spread the teaching. Thank
You Master, for blessing the festival by
stopping the rain in the morning and for
giving us an opportunity and the strength
to serve God’s children.

Promoting the lternative iving A L
through the Tet Festival
By Montreal News Group (Originally in English)
[Montreal] On February 4, Golden Year 4 (2007) Montreal Center took part in the Lunar New
Year’s Festival organized by the local Aulac Community in the
Olympic Stadium. A corner of our booth, showing many small
animals happily together in the grass, caught the eyes of many
children, while their parents gladly accepted Alternative Living
flyers. After tasting samples, some visitors asked us more about
the vegetarian diet and how to prepare a healthy meal. A projection
screen was also set up to broadcast Master’s lectures, Her poetry,

Panorama of Events
humanitarian activities, and other special

reports of Supreme Master Television. A lot
of visitors sat down to watch the programs.
Some even stayed up to three hours non-stop.
Upon leaving, we offered them the Supreme
Master Television flyers.
When people saw us all dressed
up and smiling, they glanced at Master’s
picture and asked us more about our
Association. We realized that people often
look at disciples to get first
contact with Master and
Her teachings. People felt
peaceful and comfortable
to ask us spiritual questions
and exchange views with us
about the vegetarian diet.
Some even asked the address of the center so that later they can come and learn more about
Master’s teachings.
Formosa
Vegetarian Feast Receives Affirmation

at Health Research Institute
By Hsinchu News Group (Originally in Chinese)
[Hsinchu] Researchers at Formosa’s National Health Research Institutes (NHRI) were treated
to a sumptuous vegetarian feast prepared by local initiates on January 18, Golden Year 4
(2007). The NHRI is an academic research
institution established by the government
in the Hsinchu Science Park to upgrade
medical research and enhance health care
in Formosa. Hsinchu initiates realized that
the NHRI can give strong momentum to a
vegetarian trend if its employees understand
the benefits of a vegetarian diet and adopt

Panorama of Events
this healthy lifestyle.

Over thirty researchers from
the NHRI’s Division of Biostatistics and
Bioinformatics enjoyed the feast and could
not express enough praise for the dishes.
Even those who once thought that the
vegetarian diet was lack of variety and flavor,
were full of praise. “If vegetarian food can
be so delicious, then we should have no
problem adopting the diet,” they said. Some
researchers were considering beginning a
vegetarian diet on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Fellow initiates immediately supported
the good start.
Although this vegetarian promotion effort covered a small number of people, the
sincere gratitude, praise and affirmation expressed by the participants touched the hearts of
fellow initiates and gave them great encouragement.
LOHAS*
Lunar New Year Vegetarian Feast
By Taichung News Group (Originally in Chinese)
[Taichung] On February 3, Golden Year 4 (2007), our Taichung Center hosted a LOHAS
vegetarian feast in celebration of the Lunar New Year. It included a cooking demonstration and
sampling of a vegetarian New Year dinner, a seminar on vegetarianism and health, a display
of New Year dishes by models, and entertaining interludes by two lovely piglets. Guests were
highly impressed and acknowledged the message conveyed by the event at the Taichung Art
Garden Boulevard.
Over a dozen Aulacese and Thai women
married to Formosans attended the cooking
demonstration under the guidance of Miss Mai
Yu-zhen, President of the Changhua County New
Immigrants Association. To welcome the New Year
of the Pig, fellow initiates especially arranged for the
presence of two vegetarian piglets to let the public
see how cute our animal friends are. Many parents
brought their kids to touch the piglets and feed them

by hand, which would undoubtedly develop their love for animals. Towards the end of the event, we
served 800 portions of vegetarian snacks, which were quickly taken by our enthusiastic guests.

Korea
Green Group Expresses Appreciation

and Inspiration toward Noble Goals
By Gwangju News Group (Originally in Korean)
[Gwangju] Green Korea United is a civic organization working to protect ecosystems and
promote public awareness that harmonizes people with nature. Initiates from Gwangju, Korea,
have worked with Green Korea United in several co-activities. From our provision of delicious
vegetarian food for every event, our group has become known as being representative of
vegetarianism and the compassion of Alternative Living.
For our efforts, on February 1, Golden Year 4 (2007), Green Korea United presented
us with an appreciation plaque at their annual assembly, saying that they were grateful for
our ‘green’ help and calling us “beautiful earthlings.” In the ceremony, they introduced our
Association with the following words: “This group of people has brought vegetarianism into
practice, which we previously only theoretically knew. Along with their green efforts, they’re
also developing spiritually so as to distribute their love to every corner
of our society.”
After the ceremony, they told
us they’re planning to form a vegetarian
group and that they needed our help
for future affairs. We are happy for the
opportunity to work with this noble
group toward the goal of living in peace
and harmony with all sentient beings.

Dedicated to the beloved Supreme Master Ching Hai
E arly morning,
My car is running through
The first light of a rising sun.

Right and left, tireless rice fields

Welcome the gold and red dawn
Of a new unpredictable day.
…Emotions,
… Emotions, Rising feelings of commotion
Feelings of commotion Struggles, fights and pains,
In the very deep Mansion Unforgettable karmas
Of my soul Deep and painful turmoil of battles
Reflections The best and the worst
Of an indescribable language In a life.
Spoken by billions of Desperation,
Still lazily swaying dewdrops Burning hot-white tears
On every stalk Scarify deep wrinkles
Of the growing rice plants On my cheeks.
And the unpredictable Karmas
Is there… Terrifying echoes of hammered drums
Great Master, Of Kal
There, The call…the day…the moment
In each dewdrop For every grasping human entity
Shines Your gracious silhouette Still searching for the Truth
Whispering Your silent language of God… And the way
That leads back Home.
Suddenly Mutant shadows of human entities,
At the edge of a huge extension of rice fields, We cannot be late!
My car stops.
And like in a transcendental rapture Slowly… the nightmare of memories
I see myself And the pains dissolve,
Standing in the grass And the vision
Where the water of a tiny stream Turns to caress my heart.
Silently brings life and humbly On my lips
Greets God. I feel from deep in my soul
In a while (it could have been The smoothest whispering of Your name
one minute, or millions of years) Humbly glorifying
The illusion vanishes The God incarnation of You,
And a light, like violet ethereal clouds, Master…of You
Surrounds the scenery Namo Ching Hai Wu Shang Shih
While angels are dancing Divine Mantra to the eternal Truth
To the harmony of a celestial Melody… Of our beloved Master…

February 16 – Joyously Welcoming Master’s Return
F
ellow initiates were busy decorating for the Lunar New Year International Retreat, when
a yellow taxi drove up to the main entrance of Hsihu Center. The passenger inside rolled
down the window and gently asked the guard at the gate: “May I enter?” At first, the
guard was stupefied, then amazed, and shouted aloud: “Oh! Master is back!” Faces filled with
the joy of seeing Master after such a long time, everyone rushed to the entrance and lined up to
welcome Master Mommy who had returned to Hsihu after more than ten years.
Master asked the driver to move forward at the slowest speed possible, so that She
could wave and say “Hallo!” to all the fellow practitioners. Her merciful eyes, perpetually
glittering like diamonds and deep as the ocean, gazed at each one as the car passed by. Tear-filled
eyes and smiling faces revealed the remembrance and emotions of missing Master. Watching
Her come back to Hsihu alone in a taxi, wearing casual clothes and carrying the luggage by
Herself, we could imagine how She toiled around the world wishing to give the least trouble
to Her disciples. Master’s infinite consideration and love deeply touched the hearts of fellow
initiates!
February 17 – New Year Eve Reunion Celebration

In the afternoon, fellow initiates lined up on both sides of the road outside the main
gate to Hsihu Center, cheering and clapping to warmly welcome the honorable guests from

February 18 – Happy Peaceful New Year

Fellow initiates from all countries, dressed in the most colorful traditional dress of
different nations, celebrated the arrival of Golden Year 4. In a garden-party style, all fellow
initiates and guests were treated to a sumptuous feast of New Year delicacies from different
countries. Wearing the costume of the Ching Dynasty Emperor, Master arrived in a sedan
chair and waved to greet everyone. She stopped at various food booths along the way to taste
the snacks with the guests. When She came to the ‘Aulac Village,’ She was very happy to see
some New Year delicacies and cultural artworks that She remembered from Her youth. Master
explained each item in detail to the guests and cordially presented many of them as gifts.
Later, Master went to the Hall of Sacred Love - the big meditation tent area - to
celebrate with the fellow initiates and watch their exuberant performances. She sang a cheerful
Happy New Year song with us from lyrics that She had created Herself as follows, sung to
the tune of the Happy Birthday song: “Happy New Year Heaven, Happy New Year On Earth,
Happy New Year All Beings, Happy Peaceful New Year.”
Master said, “There will be peace, just like God has spoken. There will be light. It
seems like we are going to have peace and pretty soon, even though we still have little frictions

here and there between some previous life incarnation enemies. So they are ironing it out, their
problems. But looks like we have more peace than ever, and it’s going to be more peace, and
this is the way it has to be… because in peace we can rebuild countries, only in peace can we
rebuild human relationships; only in peace can we attain Heaven.”
Master also gave an inspirational discourse on environmental issues, explaining that
we ought to save energy, for example, by using energy-saving bulbs, buying pollution-free
cars, sharing vehicles together to go to work or shopping, recycling usable materials, saving
water, saving electricity, and so on. This is not just for saving money, but also for saving the
world.
It is good that we are already vegetarians, because the vegetarian diet is also a crucial
element in saving the world, as proclaimed in a new report published by the United Nations
Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), which states that livestock generate a large share
of harmful greenhouse gas emissions. (For more information, please refer to http://www.fao.

That evening, a Shining World Leadership Award presentation ceremony was held
at the Hall of Sacred Love, honoring the former President of the Philippines, Fidel Ramos;
President of the Gusi Foundation, Mr. Manuel Morato; and Senator Heherson Alvarez, for
their philanthropic deeds in helping the Aulacese asylum seekers many years ago. The local
dignitaries that attended this grand ceremony were Mr. Gu Min, UNESCO committee member;

12 The Supreme Master Ching Hai News No. 180 Honored guests from Formosa
Special Reports
The guests first watched “The Golden Heart of the Philippines,” a documentary
describing how the Philippine government and its people rendered humanitarian aid to
Aulacese asylum seekers. In 1979, Imelda R. Marcos, then First Lady of the Philippines, was
the first-ever vanguard in garnering support and providing temporary shelter for thousands of
Aulacese boat people adrift in Manila Bay. In 1995, the United Nations High Commissioner
for Refugees (UNHCR) halted funding for refugee camps throughout Asia, so some countries
found it necessary to initiate a repatriation process, much to the inexpressible anguish of the
refugees.
Feeling their deep sorrow, Supreme Master
Ching Hai devoted much of Her time, energy and
resources to alleviate the suffering of those desperate
in their countryless plight. She offered them words of
consolation, material comfort and spiritual support.
At that time, Mr. Manuel L. Morato was deeply
moved by the Aulacese refugee situation. Having just
met Supreme Master Ching Hai and sympathizing Aulacese initiates offer flowers to their Filipino benefactors.
with the desperation of the refugees, he took the initiative to appeal to the Ambassador of
Foreign Affairs on their behalf. He then personally accompanied Supreme Master Ching Hai to
meet both government and private officials, providing pivotal help in the quest to alleviate the
refugees’ suffering.
In 1995, President Fidel Ramos issued an order granting permanent residence to 5,000
Aulacese refugees, at the same time that other nations were turning them back to sea. Mr.
Heherson Alvarez worked to pass a law that gave rights of refugees to people like those coming
out of Au Lac, so that they could stay in the Philippines. Dr. Rene Santos and family took
Master to different television and radio stations so that She could have the chance, through
their nationwide broadcasting network, to plead for the Aulacese refugees’ plight. Countless
other anonymous but compassionate hearts, including members
of the Catholic Church and other Filipino citizens, all lovingly
embraced and welcomed the Aulacese refugees as their own.
After watching this documentary, fellow initiates from
Au Lac offered flowers to their kind benefactors. The former
president of the Philippines, Fidel Ramos, was invited to be the
lead honoree. Even though he was unable to attend because of a
previous engagement co-chairing an annual world conference in
Master offers flowers to former president of China, a larger-than-life photo of him dominated the center of the

stage, and Master went up on stage specially to offer flowers to
his photo in gratitude for the humanitarian help he rendered to the Aulacese asylum seekers. At
that point, our loving and humble Master became quite emotional and shed tears.
Following that, Master presented the Shining World Leadership Award to Mr. Morato
and to Senator Alvarez . Mr. Alvarez recalled how they
had helped the Aulacese refugees to settle. He also praised Master for Her help and for having
Special Reports
so much love for the refugees. Mr. Morato, during the ceremony and in a correspondence sent
after he had returned to his country, expressed his gratitude to Master and Her Association. He
also praised Her as a very loving person and said that when She came to him for help, he felt it
was his pleasure to do so. He also said the he felt electrified, very refreshed and enlightened in
his time with our group, and added: “How I wish
all the people of the world would behave the way
Your fellow members do. Then the world would
truly be a peaceful place to live in.”
Master also spoke from the stage to
express Her thanks to the Filipino people for
helping the refugees in their time of need. She said
the awards were
being presented
on behalf of all
the refugees in
the world to show
our gratitude to
all the nations.
Master presented the Shining World Leadership Award to Mr. Morato and to Senator Alvarez. She thanked them
again for helping the refugees to heal their wounds and get their human dignity back. She hoped
that in the future, war would not exist and the word itself would be forgotten in the vocabulary
of humankind, and that one day there would not be even a single frontier left between nations
as we all would become brothers and sisters in the big global family.
After that, the Lunar New Year celebration program began. The high standard of
performances from fellow initiates in various countries won thunderous cheering and applause
from the entire audience. After the performance program, Ms. Cecile Alvarez, on behalf of
Mr. Joe Lad Santos and Mr. Ricardo Nolasco from the Filipino Institute of Komiks Arts and
Sciences, presented a plaque of appreciation to Master, together with samples of paintings by
some Filipino artists. She also gave Master a videotape of a program that had been hosted by
Mrs. Alvarez, which reported Master’s compassionate actions in helping the disaster victims in
the Philippines. Mrs. Alvarez also offered Master a piece of fabric from a Muslim community,
symbolizing that “regardless of race and color, there is a common humanity,” as well as her
gratitude for assisting the Earthsaver’s Dream Ensemble.
On behalf of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines, Mr. Morato presented a
painting to Master.

February 19 – New Year Wish

Fellow initiates continued to arrive from all over the world for the five-day international
retreat, which started officially on February 20, the following day. A grand tent, constructed
for the retreat and named the Hall of Sacred Love, was used for meditation. Inside the tent, the
stage was decorated in the theme of an ancient Chinese imperial palace
with a golden roof made of bright cloth with colorful stripes. The bare
ground of the entire hall was covered with a comfortable carpeting.
Thanks to God’s blessings and the talents of many fellow initiates,
the entire Hsihu Ashram had been converted to a gracious paradise
emitting a joyful and peaceful vibration everywhere.
In the evening, Master came to the meditation hall, dressed
in a golden vest and light golden shirt, and greeted everyone with
Her wishes for a happy New Year and world peace. She told us not to
blame outside people or anything if something undesirable happens,
because everything is caused by the karma of some individuals and the
collective karma of the world. Master advised us to let go of everything
such as distracted thoughts, gossiping and worries, and concentrate
only on God, on Buddha and meditation, so that we can succeed in
spiritual progress. Then She meditated with us for a while.
February 20 – Retreat Begins

The first meditation session started at 4 o’clock in the morning. There were four
meditation sessions, three hours each, every day. Many initiates also meditated through the
night during the retreat.
In the very early morning, Master
came to the Hall of Sacred Love and led the
fellow initiates who had meditated through
the night in chanting the Holy Names. She
then meditated with us.
In the morning, we lined up on

Special Reports
both sides of the road outside the Center to see Master’s guests off. Some initiates dressed
in colorful Aulacese traditional dresses, holding fresh flowers and Filipino flags. As the cars
carrying Master and the guests slowly drove through, we all sang the Happy New Year song,
clapped and warmly waved good-bye. We then returned to our meditation.
In the afternoon, Master came to the meditation hall wearing a pink Chinese traditional
blouse and white trousers to see initiates from Mainland China and Formosa. She told a Chinese
story about a poor young scholar who was content and humble and who was later blessed with
wealth and a beautiful wife. The story was to remind us that we should be a good person and
don’t worry or ask for more things. Whatever belongs to us will come to us naturally. We will
get more merit when we help others, if we don’t ask for it. And when we encounter some
undesirable events, it is all because of karma. As we persist in spiritual practice, slowly we will
become more patient, more tolerant, and our state of mind will also change. It will be easier
for us to accept whatever happens, and when the time comes, everything will be resolved and
then the situation will improve.
In the evening, Master came to the meditation hall again, this time in a red Chinese
traditional dress and a white shawl. She told us a bedtime story about a person who became
rich by saving a turtle. So we should save more turtles (meaning animals) by not eating them.
The person in the story represented one who has repented and so the merciful heart of Heaven
not only forgave him but rewarded him greatly and also gave him the opportunity to be a prince
in the palace. Our situation is similar. We have committed many mistakes before by eating
meat and drinking alcohol. However, as soon as we come to the right path, we become celestial
beings, even though we are still on Earth.
February 21: The Butterfly Effect

When coming to see us in the afternoon, Master said, “The scientists’ research has
proven that even the flapping wings of a butterfly affect the whole atmosphere of the planet.
Can you imagine what the flapping of your mouth and mind does to the whole atmosphere of
humankind? That’s why I have told you again and again that you have to be pure in action,
speech and thought. If you know already it is wrong and you still do it, it is even worse.”
In the evening, Master came to the meditation hall to see Aulacese initiates and told
us an ancient Aulacese story.

Special Reports
February 22: 13th Anniversary Celebration of Ching Hai Day

In the early morning Master meditated with us and instructed all to do sound meditation
together.
In the afternoon Master came to the Hall of Sacred Love to see Westerner initiates.
In Her initial comments, Master highly praised the beautiful job that the construction team had
done in putting together this simple and grand meditation tent, the Hall of Sacred Love. Then
Master told us a story about some farm animals that ran away because they feared being killed
for Christmas dinner. She hoped that one day animals wouldn’t have to run from us in fear and
will instead feel the friendship and love from humans.
Master also said that animals are very intelligent and understand everything humans
say; it’s just that humans cannot understand them. Thus, Master said it is terrible that people
could kill these beautiful, harmless and innocent animal friends just to eat them. Master wished
that one day the human race would wake up to know that animals and we are the same, just
different forms. Suppose we were living with other giant creatures and they killed us all the
time to eat one by one; we would feel helpless, miserable, sad and terrified. How can it be that
a world exists like this where we make ourselves into such fearful, vicious kinds of beings?
Everyone should rethink the program of their life and lead a noble life. If there’s no more
killing, this planet will be a heaven.
In the evening, Master appeared to join us for the celebration. A short video about
the origins of Supreme Master Ching Hai Day was shown. Following that, various joyful and
outstanding artistic performances were presented by talented initiates from different nations
including singing, dancing, magic show, and musical instruments. They were so creative,
spiritual and professional that we were all deeply inspired and impressed. Master also praised
the quality of the programs.
February 23 – Appreciate God’s Best Arrangement

In the afternoon, Master told us a long ancient story about an Iraqi king who asked
God for a son, which God didn’t want to give to him because it would have made the king
suffer much more. Master explained that whatever comes naturally and easily, that means it is
our destiny to have it; otherwise, we may have trouble in the long run. Whatever we have, we

Special Reports
should be happy with.

In the evening, we enjoyed a delightful vegetarian barbeque with Master. Cheers and
laughter were everywhere. Master invited the chocolate-colored brothers and sisters to come
sit with Her. They happily chatted, sang, made jokes and ate together. Before leaving for the
evening, She reminded us to make sure to meditate before sleeping.
February 24 – Bid Farewell with Master’s Love and Blessings

Shortly after the early morning meditation session began, Master came to the Hall of
Sacred Love in a white dress. Pleased with the initiates’ diligent meditation, Master happily
rewarded us with a beautiful poem by ancient Master Jelauddin Rumi, “All Through The
Night God Is Calling Us.” In this poem, Master Rumi encouraged and urged His followers to
meditate through the night for more spiritual progress:
Don’t sleep for just one night,

My beautiful friend,
And the treasure of Eternity will appear before you.
The sun of the invisible will warm you all night;
The collyrium of mystery will open your eyes.
This evening I beg you, fight against yourself,
Don’t sleep
So you will discover those splendors that spread ecstasy.
It is at night that beauties unveil themselves;
The one who sleeps never hears their soft calls.
Wasn’t it at night
that Moses saw the burning bush
and heard its miraculous sermons
to come closer?
It was during the night
he traveled so far
that he came to see a bush drown
in glory
The day’s for earning a living,
the night’s for love
So the eyes of the jealous cannot spy on you.
The rest of the world may sleep;

Special Reports
but real lovers

Throughout the night
talk inwardly with God...
All through the night God is calling us,
“Rise up, use this time richly, you poor man!
If you don’t, you’ll burn with regret
When your soul’s separated from your body.”
(Teachings of Rumi, Shambhala Publications, Inc.,

Boston, Mass., USA 1999; http://www.shambhala.com)
Master explained the poem, sentence by sentence, according to Her personal experience.
She also told us that meditation through the night was indeed very beneficial. “Rise up, use this
time richly, you poor man! If you don’t, you’ll burn with regret when your soul’s separated from
your body.” Master said that Rumi was telling the complete truth. Many people experience this
after passing away. They feel very sorry because they are still at a lower level, watching others
speeding by, flying to a higher dimension and regret that they have wasted their time on this
planet for nonsensical purposes.
Rumi was a Muslim, but he mentioned Moses. In the old times, any Master would
know that all religions point in the same direction. So Rumi had no discrimination against any
other religion.
Master said we can recite this poem every night, reminding ourselves to be more
diligent.
Then Master told us two wonderful jokes explaining that we really have to love our
enemies, who often come back as wife, husband, sons and daughters. That’s the way we have
to love our enemies. So, we can do it now or do it later, do it willingly or by order of the law
of karma.
In the afternoon, Master came to the Hall of Sacred Love in a light blue cloak with
white collar and trim, looking graceful and regal in bearing, to conclude the retreat. She told us
some stories including one about a holy Muslim king who earned his living by hand-copying
spiritual books, and his servant’s lucky experience on the way home with the very little yet very
clean money given to him by the king.
Finally, Master wished everyone well on their return trip home and to bring with us
Master’s love. Some initiates packed at that time and left for home full of God’s blessings.
Others stayed longer in the Center to continue enjoying meditation and being together with
Master.
Soon after the retreat had ended, at about six o’clock in the evening, under a night sky
beautifully lit by the moon and stars, Master granted a reception for the working team members
at the square in front of the Treasure Pavilion. After treating the fellow initiates with candies,
biscuits, drinks and other blessed food, Master told us that She fully understood and appreciated
the work we had been doing quietly for the retreat. Her tender words touched the hearts of all
Special Reports
initiates present.
Master then recalled our memory that this was the same place where Master created
Her historical painting, “Hsihu Sunset.” Master said that the scenery at Hsihu Center then
was nothing special - not many trees around nor any high-speed railway nearby. Over the
years, through the concerted efforts of Master and disciples, the Hsihu Center today has been
transformed into a beautiful “Holy Mountain”! Master congratulated us that our diligent
spiritual practice truly makes everything better. She also told us some stories related to spiritual
practice, and conveyed Her wish that our world would become increasingly better, just like in
the times of the Sage Emperors Yao and Shun, when people would not pick up any lost objects
on the road, and had no need to close their doors at night.
In the evening the remaining initiates enjoyed another barbeque and tea party with
Master. Master and initiates sang one song after another throughout the whole evening and had
a wonderful time.
As soon as the party was over, it rained heavily through the night, seeming to cleanse
everything in the world.
February 25 – New Year Gifts to Children and Guests

This was first Sunday of the Lunar New Year. Many fellow practitioners brought
their relatives and friends to see Master. In the afternoon, initiates and guests sat together in
the Hall of Sacred Love. Master came and wished everyone a happy New Year of success and
prosperity. Master said that, for world peace and for our own happiness, in addition to taking
care of worldly obligations, we should meditate whenever we have time so that after leaving
this world, we can go to Heaven.
Apart from worldly matters, we also have to take care of big matters after this world
such as knowing after death where our soul goes. While living, if we do good, be good, keep
precepts, avoid hurting others, and help people, then we don’t need to care too much about
after-death matters. Even if we don’t have much to leave materially, our merits are better than
property and money.
The life after death cannot be bribed with money or exchanged for position. We
should earn more spiritual merit and refrain from hurting animals, the fewer the better, and
should have vegetarian diet, the more the better. With loving hearts to help the animals to
live longer, we also will live longer. For whatever good we have done, it will return to us in
Special Reports
manifold ways.
After that, Master told us the story about a scholar from a family that had been poor for
many generations. The scholar wanted to complain to God. On the way to find God on an island,
he met a rich man and a farmer who kindly let him stay for several nights, and a turtle that ferried
him across the river. Each of them entrusted him to ask God something. In the end, when the
scholar had finished asking God all the questions on behalf of the others, God left, and he had no
chance to ask about his own problem. Nevertheless, the fate of this scholar changed completely
afterwards. Especially if we take care of people first, God certainly will take care of us.
After telling the story, Master distributed the New Year gifts, including colorful piggies,
balls and bats, etc., to all the children there. The joyful atmosphere highlighted the beautiful
memory of these Heavenly days with Master!

Master Says
It’s Time to Clean Up

Our Earth in Peace
Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, December 31, 2006, Duisburg, Dusseldorf, Germany (Originally in English)
S
o, the time is right that everyone should push for peace
now, at any price, because without peace we cannot
build anything up. There are more pressing matters
now than killing, my God! There’s global warming; there’s ice
melting. And it’s not just the warming: after it has warmed it
might get cold. And that’s even worse. If it’s warm, you can
jump into the water, but if it’s too cold I don’t know if you
have enough things to keep you warm when it’s freezing
all the time. Because of the changes in the atmosphere,
it might get worse and become freezing even, after the
warming period. Sometimes the pollution damages
the ozone layer and then maybe all the heat escapes.
Then after a while we won’t have any heat, because then
maybe too much pollution covers the sun and with too
many changes then everything will get so bad and it might be
freezing. That’s even worse also.
Start Now to Implement Life-sustaining

Solutions for the Planet
I watched on one of the British channels before, there was

a very scary documentary. They said that along with the global
warming, the sun is also getting cooler somehow. So warming and
cold: it’s too warm in some parts, and then some parts will be too
cold. Or after the warm will be cold, and if it’s too warm then the
ice will melt and then we’ll have floods. And if after that there’s
no ice left to balance the things anyway, either the planet will
become very heated or it could be very cold, because of too much
cover or the ozone layer being broken.

Master Says
So, many things can happen, and they could happen soon. Several decades are not
long. So right now it’s time that all the people of every country should get together and think of
the solutions quick, like biofuel or something with sustainable energy like solar power or wind
power. You can install it in your home if you can afford it. Or, you can put money together and
install one home at a time, OK! For instance, two of you could pitch money together and install
it in your home. Draw a lotto to see who’s house gets installed first, so it’s fair. And then next
time, pitch money together and install it in her home.
When I lived in the, in the cave in the mountains I lived only with solar energy. I charge
my phone with solar energy. I watched TV with solar energy. My fridge ran on solar energy. It’s
a little complicated but you can learn. To save lives, we must learn. To save the planet, it’s worth
it. It’s complicated but it’s not un-doable, you know. It’s simple enough to do it. You have to
capture the solar energy into some batteries, and then you connect with those batteries to use it
to run your household. At least you can save energy, and you save money in long run anyway.
You can even sell it back to the government. In Spain it’s like that.
There’s wind power also; it might be difficult, but you can install a small wind mill.
(D: A turbine, or wind mill.) A wind mill, the old fashioned way, it also does work. The turbine
takes a longer time and a lot of money and maybe it’s not so ‘in’ yet, so you can’t get it so easily.
But you can do that. Do what you can, OK? And go together in one car to work or go shop
together, in one car. It saves money and saves energy. And if you can, buy a hybrid car,. They’re
not that expensive. I got one; maybe it costs you in the beginning, but later it saves you a lot. It
saves your life, too, and saves the life of everybody else! But you can check on the Internet to
see which car is cheaper and more convenient for you. And soon in the future we will run it on
biodiesel and biofuels like corn fuel, sugar cane or garbage. We can recycle garbage. And maybe
we don’t even have to do that if they push the wave energy program! A long time ago in Norway
they began that program, to use ocean waves as energy. That would be limitless. You can use it
forever, just like the sun.
Energy is free everywhere actually. You can even harness power from thunder and so on.
And that would be limitless, limitless! There would be no cost for anybody. It should be free for
everyone, the basic things in life, like water and electricity - should be free actually, yeah! And it
soon will be free. All this money
that’s put into war, my God we
could build a paradise on Earth!
It’s about time everyone should
know about this. So if you know
of any of government important
persons, you can remind them
by writing or doing
something.

Master Says
Do something in your power. Or, if you know how and where, just write. Write to the government.
Remind them; help them; support them. Support their idea of environmental protection.
If we don’t act now, we won’t have any Earth left to even fight over with each other: no
land to possess, no land to put the guns on or to install the cannons. It’s about time; my God, it’s
the 21st Century already and we so called civilized humans are still fighting. I cannot believe it!
Sometimes when I sit down, I don’t know how it’s possible. It’s not possible that we live in an
era in which humans kill humans. How can we do that? How do you train such a beautiful, pure,
handsome, strong, heroic young man to go into battle and just shoot someone like that? There was
no quarrelling and no cause before, except the ‘big one’ somewhere behind telling him to go and do
it: “That guy is an enemy; you go and shoot him for me.” That’s it.
War Is Never a Solution
This is wasting human resource also. These soldiers are the most brilliant generation of
our time! They’re there to pass down better DNA for the new generation. They’re not to go there;
they’re not born to die. I don’t care if it’s to die a hero or die a what; it’s the same. It’s a waste
of resource! Do you know how much money it costs to grow a man like that? At least a million
dollars until he grows into maturity. Growing men is not like growing trees: it’s not cheap. And he
has so much love from the family, so much friendship from companions, so much teaching from
the teacher and the school - so much affection going on around him. He’s not just ‘nobody’ – he is
somebody. He has family; he might even be married and have children already. But he is forced to
go out there and shoot someone he doesn’t even have any enmity with. Isn’t that ridiculous? This
is crazy, and we live in it!
My God, what kind of the world is this? It’s about time they stop all this - just stop it! We
cannot tolerate this. It’s incredible that humans can kill humans! Even animals don’t do that. They
might kill one for some reason, but they don’t go out and kill a whole mass like that. For the sake of
whatever, I don’t care. I don’t care who is right, who is wrong; it’s all wrong.
For example, even now, I read in the media or saw on television that the number of deaths
of American soldiers is exceeding the number of victims from 9-11. And that’s not counting the
other people: the women and the children, the victims of war, the innocent bystanders. So war
is never a solution. The more war, the more death; the more death, the more enemies; the more
enemies, the more war, and so on. It’s a vicious circle, and there is no end to it. So we just have to
stop. We just have to shake hands and forgive each other and then let’s go on with our lives, because
there are so many pressing matters now. With all the money that’s spent on war, can you
imagine? Africa would become like Europe if they used all that money on Africa,
on one continent alone. And with all the money that’s still going into the
war, we could build space ships. We could have more time, more
energy and recruit more talent. Instead of all these young
men dying, they would become living bodies of the

Master Says
future, building houses for the needy.
Let There Be Soldiers of Peace
If all the soldiers changed their jobs, we’d have soldiers of peace: buildings soldiers who
bring medicine to the sick and build homes for the homeless. They are able-bodied, intelligent,
strong and handsome. They are beautiful beings; it is a waste that that they go there and just die like
that. Just one bullet like this. (Master gestures to show the small size of a bullet) Can you imagine?
It can go anywhere from anywhere and kill one handsome, beautiful, aspiring, pure, energetic,
young human being - just like that. Can you imagine? And it costs millions of dollars even, to raise
him, and so much love from the family and friends so that he grows up like that. We cannot teach
him hatred when he grows out of love. You cannot change that into hatred; this is not right.
You should continue to nurture the love that he has in him, the trust that he has with his
family and friends, and with the nation that he’s born into. You cannot change that love into hatred
and tell a young man who has been loved all his life until now, to come out and turn into a hateful
person - and then use a gun to kill another person who has also grown out from the love of a mother
and father somewhere, and who has somehow has been nourished and nurtured all this time like
a beautiful flower in the garden with all love and care, attention and hope for the future. And then
– boom, just like that – with one bullet, finished. Such a beautiful dream is gone, collapsed.
How many more generations until we can cultivate many young beautiful men like that?
They are at their prime, and they are so inspired by heroism. We cannot use that to turn it into
hatred for any reason at all, because it is wrong; it’s wrong. You who have children, you know that!
You nurture your children up, not to just to die like that. Can you imagine all these mothers, all the
fathers and all the loved ones, all his friends, even his neighbors - it’s terrible! It’s time we have
to stop all this nonsense. Anyone with intelligence cannot tolerate this, cannot continue to support
this kind of world, can we? (Audience: No) One doesn’t have to be a Quan Yin practitioner or a
Zen monk to understand this. It’s just common for a human being to have this knowledge, this
understanding that humans are born to live.
God’s Gift of Life Is for Love, Not War
There’s nothing worth dying for. Nothing! God doesn’t give birth to you so that you have
to die for something. Except to find God, there is nothing really worth dying for. People should be
given hope, inspiration to live, not to die. Remember in one of my poems, I said that I don’t ever
want to grow up to be a hero, to keep the war and die? It’s not my job, is it? It’s nobody’s job. You’re
not born to grow up just to keep a war and then die for it. Isn’t that ridiculous? We should never
have a war anyway; we’re so backward. If it hadn’t been for you, the Quan Yin practitioners who
grace this Earth, who bless the atmosphere with love and universal energy, this Earth
would soon be ‘kaput’ (meaning “ended”) already. So, we’re just holding it
and waiting for humankind to wake up more and do something. If

Master Says
not, it has to go. We can leave it sooner or later anyway; we don’t care. But it’s such a
negative way.
Suppose the Earth became kaput now, we could go up to a higher level. We are
already there and we already have our ‘security card,’ but the people out there, if they
die like that, they will be living in shock in such a state of stupor, for a long, long time
- thousands of years - before they wake up. And then their atmosphere will manifest in
another kind of world again, and they’ll war with each other again, because they haven’t
finished their thinking process. They haven’t gotten to the understanding about peace and
“Love thy neighbor.” They haven’t done that. So if they wake up again from their stupor
after thousands of years, they’ll do the same thing again.
Peace Costs Far Less than War
I therefore really hope that this is the time they understand this very simple
concept. Even a child understands peace at all costs. But peace doesn’t cost anything:
that is the thing. Only war costs something. War costs human resource, war costs
emotional upheaval, war costs tremendous financial resource and every other resource
of humankind. All this equipment they build for war could be used to build houses, to
build railways for the tram, to build underground train stations or build bridges for the
poor countries.
And all this money - billions of dollars - something like $7 million per day or
week in Iraq, for example, and how many weeks or years have already gone by? Do you
understand how much that is? You don’t because it’s too much. It’s too much for us to
even want to think about. It’s just too ridiculous when people are hungry or starving and
don’t even have the basic things like clean water to drink. And we spend tons of money
and tons of human resources, tons of world metal resources or any resource just to build
a killing weapon. This is beyond imagination! No wonder our world is lagging behind,
compared to all others in the galaxy.
But mind you, be happy. Our Earth is getting better of course, number one.
Number two, our Earth is still better than many other planets. There are worse planets.
There are planets whose people are evil, just pure evil. And they will harass you day and
night. Some of the warlords have been born there; I don’t know how much longer; I don’t
want to see. It’s terrible. Even if they repent, they don’t even have time to pray. Can you
understand that? That’s why they have to stay there forever, because they don’t have time
for anything. They’re just running and running, running and hiding, running and hiding,
all day long, with no time. It’s such mental torment that hell even sounds better. So at
least we’re born on this planet, where it’s half-and-half, and we’re pushed to go nearer to
God. But even then I don’t know if I could ever get used to the kind of people who
go out and kill each other like that. I mean, if you want to be a soldier,

Master Says
you have to have instilled in you the hatred; otherwise how can you kill? Just killing at
random like that, killing as ordered. There’s no turning back. If you turn back, then you are
killed too, by your own people for betraying your country.
Use Earthly Resources to Build and Help Others
We should use all this money and intelligence and time and resource to train
people to love and to build. This makes more sense, yes? We should use it for a peaceful
purpose. The soldiers are so strong and healthy and in the prime of their life, and they
also very idealistic. When we are young, we are very idealistic; we are heroes. We want
to do good for the world. So this good and pure energy and enthusiasm has to be used for
a peaceful purpose, for building the world and for helping the needy. That is the kind of
heroism that the young people love to spend their energy on; they will love it. Suppose
any government tells the soldiers, “Look here: no more war, you go out and build houses,”
they’d be very, very happy. They would be relieved. They would feel that this is really what
they want. I bet you that’s what would happen. Any soldier - you ask them - they would
want to do that.
We can retrain them. There’s still time. Because they are young, they can learn
fast. What I mean is that their youthful inspiration and heroism and idealism should not be
misused. It’s a waste. The young people are the best. You tell them what to do, and they
will do it. They are so eager to serve, they’re eager to learn, they’re eager to do something
good because they’re full of energy. If they are used for war, it is a pity. It’s a misuse of
their purity and their idealism. So it’s better to use the soldiers for peaceful purposes. We
can keep the army. Keep it and use it to build things up. In the Philippines, they are trying
to do that. That is a very good idea, and I hope they will. Maybe the Filipino soldiers should
do that first, and everyone else will follow. We have to start somewhere.
Our world would have been a paradise a long time ago if we did not have so much
war going on, which is wasting a lot of the energy, finances and resources of the Earth.
There’s no need to believe me; you know it yourself. This is terrible; so now I hope that
all signs of peace are coming our way. It is coming, and I hope more will come. The true
peace really must come, because that’s the only way to survive on this planet, my God. We
must use our time now, to change the course of history; otherwise we’ll all die together.
The good and the bad, the powerful nations and the weak nations, will all be gone.
Being gone is no problem; the problem is that not all of the people on the planet
are ready to integrate into paradise. After they’re gone they’ll still stay in shock or in
misery. And that state of mind will keep them for a long time in a hellish existence, worse
than this planet’s. They’ll be warring with each other in that kind of existence and then
wake up and become human again, warring with each other again. Have you
heard of those stories that in some of the big major battlefields, sometimes

Master Says
those who have psychic power can see that the soldiers in their astral forms are walking
around and trying to fight each other still? Or, looking for the fighting or thinking that
the war is still going on, because if you’re not enlightened now, you won’t ever be. Not
after you die; you just suffer more, because you can see more. With a body you can shield
yourself from some of the emotional distress, and recover or don’t see the suffering. But
without the body you’ll see more; you’ll see the naked misery in hell and you will suffer
more and more. And this is terrible.
Making a Model for the World
So the question is not whether I care that the planet is still alive or not, it’s just
for the people who live in it. They have to know this concept; they have to awaken to this
peaceful solution, to the real human purpose, to build up the peaceful atmosphere, to find
God or to remember God at least, and to be at peace with each other, just like God wants
us to be, like one time paradise. Otherwise if they die like this, they will suffer more than
what they do now. You understand me? That is the reason why they have to stop the war
and begin to build peace now. Otherwise if they die, it would be terrible: more terrible
than being alive, more terrible than the war in Iraq, more terrible than 9-11, more terrible
than any terrorism can ever cause you to feel.
So that’s the reason we practice hard, we really pray for peace in our way, and
we’re pushing for it inside our hearts. And then peace has to come; people have to stop.
Just stop like that! Just shake hands, with no conditions. There shouldn’t be any condition
for peace at all because both sides will gain. Maybe you lose one piece of land but who
cares? If Noah and the flood ever come again, you’ll lose everything. You’ll lose the
whole land, not to talk about one piece! Because suppose a typhoon like Katrina comes,
we would also lose billions of dollars for nothing. So if we lose billions of dollars or
a piece of land or even a country for a peaceful purpose, let it be. Why do we need a
frontier? Why do we need the country anyway? If you don’t have Egypt, you can go to
live in Germany. If they dissolve the border, for example, between your countries and you
become another citizen, why not! Just like me, I’m Aulacese and I’m British and now
I’m in Germany, who cares? And you guys even come from England, Finland, Poland,
Greece, Croatia, France, Finland, Hungary, Ireland, Russia, Spain, Romania, Austria,
Sweden, Switzerland, Estonia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Czechoslovakia, Africa, Ukraine -
welcome! Bulgaria, Italy and Israel even. (Congratulations, your country is getting good.
We celebrated your country’s peace with the Palestinians for one week. We had cakes
and dancing, just to support more peace and make it more real, make it getting better,
like a little push.) Where else? Sri Lanka, Columbia, Belgium, of course Germany, India,
Armenia, Australia, New Zealand, Iran - Oh, wonderful. It’s international, a big
United Nations, and we are happy together. (Applause)

Master Says
This is a model for the world to follow. So your actions of coming here have
many meanings. Number one, you of course want to see me, your lovely Princess; that I
understand. (Applause) Second, you want to meditate together, which is very important,
and third... eating! (Laughter) But the most important thing is that you make a model; I let
you come so we can realize peace in one section of the world. Because we are all telepathic,
I told you already. And if we are peaceful here, we will be peaceful everywhere. (Applause)
This is a mini-model for the world to follow; this is how the world should be, and they
should follow our example, that we live peacefully together. Here no one cares if we are
from Iran or Czechoslovakia. We eat the same food and we sit on the same floor, if you have
a seat at all. So here you fighting for property and also for food, but in a loving and peaceful
way. And we are so happy; even you can sit in the corner like that. This is all we need, just
a little square and we’re so happy! So whatever you do here with us together, it will affect
the world. Whatever you do in your house, in your group meditation weekly, it will affect
the world. And then it will change. Some people learn slowly; some people learn fast. They
better learn fast! There’s not too much time. But they are learning fast.
Be Prepared to Act Positively and Quickly
I think the world is getting very aware now that they must do something. There’s
no more excuse to say they don’t know; they do know, because what affects the neighbor
affects you. Imagine if all the people from the lowlands, when the flood arrives, they don’t
have time to build a Noah’s boat. They will not know and it will hit them quick, according
to the reports, which is logical also unless a miracle happens. Imagine these people who
have nowhere to go and who will then all run into the city, to higher land, where there’s no
flood, no disaster - where do they go? They’ve lost everything by then. At that time there’s
too many people for us even to go and rescue or to help because there’s so many, and then
they will have no home. They will have lost everything; there’s nothing to lose anymore
and they will be very chaotic. They will go looting the cities, and they might even have
worse war than we’re having now.
So, whatever affects them, affects everyone. It’s not like, “OK, I am the President,
it doesn’t concern me.” Or, “I am the Governor, a high official; it doesn’t concern me,” or,
“I live on the high land; I don’t live next to the sea; it doesn’t concern me.” It does concern
everyone because if they come in hundreds of thousands at the same time, hungry, stressed,
disoriented, starving and confused, they’ll do anything. They will be like so-called zombie
soldiers and that’s the worst you could ever be confronted with. They don’t know anything
anymore at that time. It’s too big a grievance for them to even keep their mind together. And
there’s no weapon that can stop this kind of war. It will be terrible.
So we’d better be prepared, and whoever has the authority and the
power must use it to change the way we live our life. We have to clean
up our planet, and quick.

Positive Improvements on the Planet
Global Efforts to Go Green
T
oday, as we look around the world, we do see there are clear signs that the ‘green’
march is quickening in pace, a development that only befits the arrival of the Golden
Age. We see leaderships emerge from the private sectors, government and non-
government organizations, as well as individual citizens, implementing initiatives
towards achieving environmental sustainability.
The Global Green Transformation

By Singapore News Group (Originally in English)
C limate scientists have presented compelling evidence that global warming is real. Global
warming is responsible for the intense hurricane activity, melting of polar ice and has caused
drastic changes to our weather patterns resulting in extreme droughts, floods, and heat waves all
over the world. To turn the crisis around, a global concerted
effort is necessary in reducing carbon emissions. To this
end, increasing energy efficiency is one of the most easily
implemented measures to take.
The good news is that there exist many proven and
inexpensive ways to save energy. In its January 29, Golden
Year 4 (2007) issue, Newsweek magazine outlined seven
ways that could have the biggest positive impact on saving
the world from global warming through energy efficiency: Apart from good insulation materials,
zero energy homes also use renewable
energy sources, such as solar energy.
1. Use effective insulation materials
Space heating and cooling make up 36% of the
world’s total energy consumption. As shown by prototype
‘zero-energy’ homes in Switzerland and Germany, the use
of state-of-the-art insulation materials can scale down or
even eliminate heating and air-conditioning equipment; the
amount of savings can be tremendous.
2. Change light bulbs
Lighting uses up to 20% of the world’s
electricity, 40% of which is used to power incandescent
light bulbs, which waste most of the energy it consumes
on unwanted heat. Compared to the incandescent bulbs,
compact fluorescent lamps not only use 75 to 80% less
electricity to generate the same amount of light, they also last
10 times longer. An energy-saving, spiral type
compact fluorescent light bulb.
3. Improve heat-exchange efficiency
Merely a fraction of the energy pumped into water boilers, space heaters, air conditioners
and other existing heating and cooling systems is actually used to change the temperature. A more
efficient alternative solution is the use of a heat pump, which can remove and use ambient heat from
the air outside or the ground below to heat a building or its water supply. The system can be reversed
to cool buildings as well.
4. Redesign factories’ energy infrastructure

Industrial factories around the world use up about a
third of the world’s energy. The opportunities for energy savings
are tremendous. For instance, Japanese steelmakers such as
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries have been pioneers since the 1980s,
cutting energy use by more than 70% by using heat from steel
furnaces to run turbines that generate electricity. BASF’s new plant in China - heat produced
by one chemical process is used to power
the next or create electricity for another,
5. Driving ‘green’ vehicles optimizing energy efficiency.
25% of the world’s energy—including two thirds of the annual production of oil—is used
for transportation. One can improve fuel efficiency by 6% simply by keeping car tires properly
inflated. Gasoline-electric hybrid cars can improve mileage by a further 20% over conventional
models. Clean and powerful
modern direct-injection diesels
technology can also achieve up to
40% better mileage compared to
gasoline-powered cars.
2007 Toyota Prius Hybrid Sedan 2007 Ford Escape Hybrid SUV
6. Use energy efficient home appliances
More than half of all residential power goes into running household
appliances, producing 20% of the world’s carbon emissions.
Manufacturers have increased the efficiency of refrigerators
and other home appliances by as much as 70% since the 1980s,
but there is still room for improvement. By adopting energy saving
appliances, households can save the most money over the life of the
appliances, and cut global residential power consumption by 43%.
7. Devise creative means of funding energy saving investments

Energy services and utility companies can pay for energy-saving
retrofitting cost in return for a share of the client’s utility-bill savings. In a novel

Avoid Meat and Dairy to Help the Environment

By Brisbane News Group (Originally in English)
B ritain’s environment minister Ben Bradshaw has publicly declared that cutting out meat would
go a long way towards stabilizing climate change.
Mr. Bradshaw announced this as the UK government launched a new website advising

consumers to help the planet by avoiding meat and dairy products, and
vegetables grown out of season. The website states: “The production of meat
and dairy products has a much bigger effect on climate change and other
environmental impacts than that of most grains, pulses and outdoor fruit and
vegetables.”
The website http://www.direct.gov.uk/greenerfood explains that eating
beef, lamb, chicken and dairy products contributes to global warming because of
the energy and land required to raise them. Mr. Bradshaw also
stated that food production is just as detrimental as private transport and
housing, and that the Government was considering a labeling system for
all food products, based on the farm-to-fork impact each product has on
the environment.
The Greener Food website also mentions: “Healthy eating
is also important and many people could benefit from eating a larger
proportion of fruit and vegetables and less saturated fat in their diet.” The Energy Saving

January Golden Year 2 (2005). Green Mark aims to encourage
developers and building owners to adopt environment-friendly
designs, technologies and practices. With a rating system that evaluates
buildings for their environmental impact and performance, Green
Mark’s objectives are being achieved through the implementation of

Currently in Singapore, 34 buildings have Green Mark
certification, with the public sector taking the lead in embracing
green building technology. Starting April 1, Golden Year 4 (2007),
all new public buildings and those undergoing major renovation must
have Green Mark certification. For example, all new flats built by the
government-owned Housing Development Board, which is the largest
housing developer in Singapore, will be Green Mark certified.
The government has also made a total pledge of S$70
million (US$46.6 million), launching two other initiatives that
encourage sustainable development. First, developers can obtain
St. Regis Hotel & Residences cash incentives of up to S$3 million (US$2 million) per project from

AUSTRALIA Solar Powered Car Breaks

Transcontinental Record
By Brisbane News Group, Australia (Originally in English)
A group of university students from the University of New South Wales (UNSW),
Sydney, Australia, has shattered the 1994 world record for the fastest solar
powered road trip from Perth to Sydney. They traveled approximately 4000 km and
averaged 700 km per day reaching speeds of up to 70 km per hour.
The students demonstrated that the future of
transportation lies in innovative thought, advanced materials
and renewable solar energy. 1 One of the engineering students,
Andrew Pratley, hopes that people will start looking to greener
alternatives for transport. “Climate change is a huge topical
issue and examples like this show we don’t need fossil fuels to

SWEDEN Solar Cooling Technology

By Sweden News Group (Originally in Swedish)
O n December 4, Golden Year 3 (2006), the World Economic Forum held in Geneva, Switzerland,
announced that ClimateWell, a Swedish company, was granted the Technology Pioneer
2007Award for its ground-breaking Solar Cooling technology. ClimateWell has developed a highly
efficient solar cooling system that has the unique ability to store energy and convert hot water to
cooling and heating available around the clock.
All cooling and heating systems involve some form of heat exchange process. ClimateWell’s
system is based on a thermo-chemical one between water and some hygroscopic salt that takes place
in a vacuum.
The basic working principle is: water evaporating from a tank inside a refrigerator-size unit is

absorbed by salt - Lithium Chloride (LiCl), housed
in a connected tank; the salt, being hygroscopic in
nature, attracts and absorbs the water molecules and
turns into a slurry. As water evaporates, it gives up
energy, which is then released inside the salt tank. This
energy transfer results in the water becoming colder, while
the salt slurry heats up.
We now have a cold water tank and a hot salt tank, which is
essentially a heat pump. By connecting coiled tube to the two tanks,
water circulating through the tubes can transport energy, hot or cold,
out of the system and to the environment. In principle, we now have
a cooling and heating system.
In order to store energy in the system, the salt tank can be
ClimateWell’s CW10
Solar Cooling System connected to solar panels. The heat from water connected to the solar
thermal collectors evaporates water from the salt, which will be dried
and energy is stored in it for as long as it is needed. As soon as water
is remixed with the salt, that energy is released, again cooling the
water tank.
Since a third of the world’s carbon dioxide emissions
come from heating and cooling of buildings, these emissions can be
drastically reduced by adopting technologies that are based on the use
of renewable energy. ClimateWell’s achievement is certainly a step in
the right direction.

reserving
a Planetary Protector - the Rainforest -
with a Vegetarian Diet
By Vienna News Group (Originally in English)
T he Brazilian rainforest in the state of Mato Grosso, which forms a valuable canopy and is the
natural habitat of many animal and plant species, has been rapidly threatened. From 2001 to
2004, over one million (1,334,369) acres of rainforest were lost.
According to a recent report compiled by researchers from the University of Maryland, the
main culprit for this deforestation is cattle raising. American scientific writer Jeremy Rifkin stated
that even in the 1980s, for every hamburger eaten in the USA, six square meters of rainforest had
been converted to pasture. While most of the trees are cut to create pasture land, the rainforest is
also being destroyed to produce soy crops that are exported for cows in Europe.
According to data provided by the FAO, the clearing of forests to create pastures and fields
creates 5,291 billion pounds per year of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the most potent greenhouse
gases. In Brazil and Bolivia, it is projected that almost seven and a half million acres of forest will
be lost by 2010.
One third of the ice-free parts of the earth’s surface are currently covered with pastures
for cattle, while 33 per cent of the world’s arable land is used to grow food for animals. Raising
livestock is a very ineffective way of feeding the growing population of our planet: In order to
produce an overall 127,868 million pounds of meat a year, an annual 169,756 million pounds of
food have to be fed to the animals.
The 41,888 million pounds of food wasted this way could feed millions of people instead,
and millions of animal lives would be saved! According to another study, deforested land greatly
contributes to global warming, raising temperatures up to 3 degrees Fahrenheit. Croplands also

The Golden Age Lifestyle
The Island of Samso, Denmark:

An Ecological Wonderland
By Dallas News Group, USA (Originally in English)
I
n 1997, the ecological-minded Danish Energy Agency sponsored a national contest to select
the off-shore island with the best plan to become 100% energy-sustainable within a 10-year
timeframe. Without any local conventional energy sources, the island of Samso was selected as
the best site to perform this controlled experiment. The results have been amazing.
Today, 100% of island inhabitants use green electricity from the numerous wind turbines
dotting its horizon with 75% of heating needs satisfied via solar power and biomass energy. It has
been estimated that Samso has reduced its emissions of key pollutants such as carbon dioxide,
sulfur dioxide and nitrous oxide by 142%, 71% and 41% respectively as the result of these efforts.
The next challenge is the transportation sector where Samso is applying two radically different
concepts to address transportation energy needs. The first is rapeseed (canola) oil that is simply
cold-pressed, strained, and fed directly into slightly modified diesel engines. This effort is targeted
at large diesel users such as farm tractor and ferry boat operators. The next longer term project is
the development of a hydrogen plant to eventually fuel other motor vehicles. To facilitate public
education and generate interest in this new endeavor, hydrogen trucks manufactured by H2 Logic
Alps would be used by the island in various vocational capacities.
In addition to all the positive environmental changes, the Samso ecological revolution
has brought the community together to enhance their economy. Investment cooperatives allow
inhabitants to earn substantial investment returns on shares of wind turbines. Excess wind generated
kilowatt hours are transferred to Denmark’s main power grid helping to raise wind power’s share of
the Danish power consumption to 20%. Danish wind turbine manufacturers, experiencing a major
surge in demand, now account for 40% of the world market with Germany and Spain buying 24%
and 10.5% of Danish turbine exports. That accounts for 3.4 billion in US dollars or approximately
1.8% of Danish GDP. Note also,
that Samso has become very
innovative in its use of available
resources to improve its overall
quality of life. Straw from crops

The Golden Age Lifestyle
such as alfalfa (considered carbon neutral) is burned in

super-efficient centralized kilns that supply home water-
based heating in winter. Combined with local district solar plants, studies show that inhabitants
enjoy a 20% cheaper rate vs. buying and using heating oil. In addition, the ash from the kilns can
be sown back into the fields to fertilize the next cycle of alfalfa. The by-product, green mash cake,
from the rapeseed bio-diesel presses is used as nutritious vegetarian animal feed, eliminating the
need to import feed from abroad. Locally grown organic produce growers thrive as the local people
try to avoid imported produce grown with oil-based chemical fertilizers. By enhancing regional
self-sufficiency, new markets have opened in turn generating good-paying jobs. The introduction
of these renewable energy projects has led Samso inhabitants to embrace a lifestyle that stimulated
their economy, improved their way of life, and kept their environment clean.
Community commitment provided the foundation for success because the local people
wanted to take more personal control over the quality of their life. Inhabitants see that their efforts
have brought benefit to References:

Takes Action for
Cleaner Air in Cars
By USA News Group (Originally in English)
J
ustin Kvadas , of East Hartford,
Connecticut, USA, is working to get a bill passed
by his state legislature that would ban smoking
in automobiles, to protect children from second-hand
smoke.
“If you can’t eat, drink or talk on a cell phone
while driving, how come you can still smoke? It can be
just as dangerous, or more dangerous,” Kvadas said.
Kvadas started a petition and got about 200
signatures. He began an e-mail campaign, wrote the
governor, met with Mayor Melody Curry and caught the
attention of state Representative Henry Genga.
Representative Genga drafted and filed a slightly amended bill that would ban drivers
from smoking if there’s a child in the car.
Early this year, Kvadas testified before the state legislature about the dangers of cigarette
smoke and the need for legislation to protect children from second-hand smoke while they are
riding in cars. About fifty of Kvadas’ fellow students from O’Connell Elementary School filled the
seats behind him, some waving hand-made signs with such affirmations as “Let Us Breathe” and
“Don’t Smoke around Kids.” Sources:

Shining World Leadership Awards
A Young Eco Hero
Saves Lebanon Beach
By Korea News Group (Originally in Korean)
A
Shining World Leadership Award from Supreme Master Ching Hai was presented to a 17-
year old teen, Mokhtar Hasbini, in Beirut, Lebanon on February 3, Golden Year 4 (2007),
honoring his initiative in cleaning up a Lebanon beach that was seriously polluted by an
oil spill. Alongside the award letter and the plaque, US$5000 was also given in order to assist the
young boy to continue his noble works.
The 15,000 ton oil spill, due to a recent war, was the biggest environmental crisis in the
history of the Mediterranean Sea. Mokhtar Hasbini came to the beach on the first day it happened
and began cleaning up while bombing went on. He not only cleaned the beach but took pictures and
spread them to the mass-media so that the public could be aware of the seriousness of the pollution.
Within weeks, the volunteers’ example was responded to by a massive government clean-up effort.
He is truly a shining example for all, especially for young people.
Upon receiving the award, Mokhtar Hasbini expressed his deep appreciation to Supreme
Master Ching Hai and hoped other
young people could be also very active
in improving the world to be more
positive.
Later, on February 11,
Mokhtar wrote an e-mail to Master,
saying: “It is an honor to be recognized
for my hard work, and receiving this
gift motivates me to continue to strive
for excellence…. Your generosity
has made a profound impact on my
life and I am truly grateful to be the
recipient of your reward. Receiving the

Through the years, Dr. Goodall became
a conservationist and a social activist, calling on
people to protect animals and the environment as
well as promoting youth humanitarian education.
In 1977, she founded the Jane Goodall Institute for
Wildlife Research, Education and Conservation
to provide ongoing support for field research
on wild chimpanzees. Today, the mission of the
Jane Goodall Institute is to advance the power of
individuals to take informed and compassionate

action to improve the environment for all living things. The Institute is a leader
in the effort to protect chimpanzees and their habitats; it has become widely
recognized for establishing innovative community-centered conservation and
development programs in Africa, as well as the Roots & Shoots education program, which is now
available in more than 70 countries.
Despite her hectic schedule and countless projects, Dr. Goodall always looks so peaceful.
The answer to her serenity lies in her book, ‘“Reason for Hope: A Spiritual Journey.’“ In this
book, she mentions one of her experiences while visiting a church; she heard inner music that
brought her to a feeling of eternal bliss. She believes this inner spiritual experience and her other
peaceful inner sound experiences connect her with God’s power, inspiring her to work as a God’s
messenger to spread the word that human beings should have a proper relationship with the animal
kingdom. So it is her strong faith in God and her pure loving heart toward all beings that helps her
in doing this unconditional selfless work for the world. Dr. Goodall is a wonderful example of a
person who is loving, courageous and humble. She has received numerous awards including the
Gandhi King Award for Nonviolence. In April 2002 Secretary-General Annan named Dr. Goodall
a United Nations ‘“Messenger of Peace.’“ She has also published numerous books for both adult
and children.
Due to Dr. Goodall’s busy schedule, she was not able to attend the award presentation.
The Vice President of Communications received us with a warm welcome and hospitality while we
were waiting to meet with Mr. Bill Johnston, president of the Jane Goodall Institute. Mr. Johnston,
in receiving the award on behalf of Dr. Goodall, said ‘“it’s a wonderful honor’“ and told us that the
money will help the Institute to create ‘“sustainable livelihoods around the world.’“
After the award presentation, a member of the Virginia Center was able to speak with Mr.
Johnston about the Jane Goodall Institute. Mr. Johnston proudly acknowledged that this year is the
30th anniversary of the Institute and indicated that there are events around the world to celebrate
all the great accomplishments of the Institute, which range from protecting the chimpanzees to
protecting the forests all over Africa. Mr. Johnston explained that deforestation is the biggest threat
to the chimpanzees and in fact leads to the bush-meat trade where hunters kill and eat animals
including chimpanzees. Mr. Johnston also reminded us that Dr. Goodall is a vegetarian and that the
Board of Directors is always served vegetarian meals.
Mr. Johnston went on to say that Dr. Goodall’s biggest loves are children and education.
She created the Roots & Shoots program to allow children of all ages to help their own community,
help the animals, and help preserve the environment. The symbolism of the name is that roots make
a firm foundation while shoots can break concrete to reach the sun. As a final note, Mr. Johnston
said, ‘“No one can replace Jane. She is one of a kind.’“ As we exited the building, we all felt
honored and blessed to have been a part of this God-sent event.

Dr. David Suzuki
Compiled from Supreme Master Television News, Episode 63
A
world-renowned geneticist, academic and broadcaster, Dr. David
Suzuki has educated the public for over 40 years on environmental
issues. Dr. Suzuki is the passionate author of more than 30 books
and has earned a reputation world-wide as an environmental guru.
In 1979, Dr. Suzuki became the host of The
Nature of Things, which became one of the Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation’s most popular television shows. For three decades this
award-winning program would make viewers aware of little known
subjects such as the language of animals; the growth of big business
Dr. David Suzuki
farming; and the future of the Arctic. Always ahead of his time, in 1987
he broadcast a groundbreaking episode focused on the emerging AIDS/HIV epidemic, providing
many viewers with their first understanding of the disease.
Since 1990, the David Suzuki Foundation has been dedicated to finding innovative
solutions to help conserve the natural world. Most recently the Foundation has come forward to
encourage Canada to implement the United Nations Kyoto Protocol on greenhouse gas reduction.
The world has gratefully acknowledged Dr. Suzuki’s passion for science. Awards include
a UNESCO prize for science, a United Nations Environment Program medal and an induction as an
Officer of the Order of Canada. He has 15 honorary doctorates from universities in Canada, the U.S.
and Australia. In addition, Canada’s First Nations people have honored him with five native names
and he has been formally adopted by two tribes.
Recently, David Suzuki traveled across
Canada, visiting 50 cities, on the “If you were Prime
Minister” tour. The aim of this tour was to find out
what Canadians all over the country want to do to
protect the environment, and take these concerns to
the government in Ottawa. To facilitate this, there
is a website (http://youtube.com/group/you4PM)
where people can upload their own 15-30 second
home video expressing their viewpoint. David Suzuki
believes that protecting our world is everyone’s right
and responsibility.
Today Dr. Suzuki dedicates his time to
informing the public about the importance of the
natural world. Highly
respected as a person
who speaks his truth, he
is often placed alongside the likes of Carl Sagan
and Jacques Cousteau as one of the world’s most
effective ambassadors of science.
For his dedication and enthusiasm to
protect the natural world, Supreme Master Ching
Hai has awarded him the Shining World Leadership
Award, to which he expressed his appreciation:
“Thank you for the recognition of my work. I

The Sentient World of Animals
Respecting God’s Timing

in the Natural Process of Death
By sister-initiate Debbie Knight, Los Angeles, USA (Originally in English)
T
he death of a pet is a very heartbreaking experience. Only pet owners understand this kind
of sadness. Our dog, Angie, died after being with us for about 15 years. My husband and I
had adopted her when she was only six weeks old. At that time, we were not initiated yet
and did not imagine that one day we would have to make important decisions for Angie’s medical
treatments and for not interfering with her process of dying.
In the USA, it is very common and is considered humane to ‘put down’ animals or put
them ‘to sleep.’ Whenever a pet has an incurable disease and is in pain, or its prospects for a good
quality of life are not felt to be good, euthanizing is suggested and often used.
When I first adopted Angie, I also believed it was OK to put animals ‘to sleep.’ I thought
that this was the kindest way to end their suffering. But after my husband and I were initiated about
eight years ago, we started to love animals more than before. We also became closer to Angie and
loved her more and more. She taught us a lot about being good spiritual practitioners, showing us
how to love unconditionally and how to be a good companion when one of us was sick or sad. She
cared for us so very tenderly and attentively. In fact, there was no one in this world who would not
have felt loved in her presence! At some point after my initiation and my closer relationship with
Angie, I realized that I no longer believed in euthanizing pets. I prayed to Master that
I would not have to make this decision for her.
When Angie turned 13, she was diagnosed with kidney cancer. The
veterinarian was going to perform a biopsy and explorative surgery and
offered to “put her down” if the cancer had already spread throughout her
body. I was devastated because I didn’t want her to be euthanized, but I also
did not want her to suffer for the rest of her life.
I prayed to Master for guidance to make a decision and to find
a way to make Angie’s wishes understood. So, I sat down with her and talked to her about her
diagnosis. I told her that we didn’t want her to be ‘put down’ because we didn’t believe in doing
such things in our spiritual practice. Angie’s eyes became so loving and caring when I was talking
to her. It was like she understood what I said, and she understood our dilemma. Suddenly, from her
eyes, I knew that she still wanted to live and to be with us, and that everything would be all right.
My husband and I decided not to ‘put her down’ no matter what the doctor would find.
We told the doctor to do whatever he could to save her life. It turned out that her kidney cancer was
localized and the doctor only had to remove her left kidney. Angie then had to go through a series
of chemotherapy treatments. She recovered quickly and was able to enjoy a normal happy life for
the next two years.
When Angie was 15, I somehow knew that her time would not be long. I spent as much
time as I could with her. One day, I noticed that she was losing her sense of smell. I was so sad
because I wondered what kind of life would that be for a dog who could not smell. Not long after
that, she started to separate herself from us. She would move away from us when we wanted to pet
her and she would not look at me or come when I called her. Then, she started to reduce her food
intake and finally stopped eating altogether, flatly refusing even when I encouraged her. At this
point, my husband and I had a difficult decision to make: whether to take her to the veterinarian
or to let her be. Feeling that her process of dying had begun, we decided to allow nature to take its
course.
After Angie stopped eating for five days, she stopped drinking water, too. Even when I
tried to drop water into her mouth, she closed her mouth tightly. Her body became weak and she
could not get up anymore. This is the point when some people might send their pet to be euthanized
because they are afraid he or she is in pain and will die from dehydration. But Angie looked so
peaceful, not agitated, nor did she make any noise. It looked like she slept most of the time and that
she was in a meditative state. She would open her eyes but did not look around or look at us with
interest. Once in a while when I touched her she would respond with a blink or a nod. She stayed in
this kind of condition for three days after she stopped taking water, and then she was gone.
After Angie died, my husband and I grieved deeply. Although I knew that what I had done
with Angie was right, I wanted some verification. After some searching, I found an article on the
Internet: “Lessons for the Living,” an interview with Denys Cope, RN, BSN. In this article, Ms.
Cope, who has over 35 years of experience as a nurse, described the mental, physical and spiritual
process of dying. Although she was talking about humans, the process she described was so similar
to what I had seen with Angie. Humans also withdraw themselves from social activities when they
become old and dying. They tend to go inward and like to be alone in their last days. They usually
refuse to eat or drink in their final days. The physical body of a human makes preparations for the
soul to depart.
Reading this article helped me to understand the process of dying naturally and to be at
peace with our decision. I also felt that in the last days of her life, Angie taught us another spiritual
lesson: that animals can die naturally without having to be euthanized and that we should treat
animals the same as humans from their birth to their death. Animals are children of God, too.

Master Takes Sammy to Heaven

By sister-initiate Alice Staael, Vancouver, Canada (Originally in English)
S
ammy was a beautiful collie/shepherd dog that we had since he was a baby
in 1992. His mother had been our companion for 4 years when Sammy was
born, and then the two of them were with us for another 11 years until she passed on. Then
it was only Sammy!
Sammy was the most darling dog you could ever imagine. He followed me everywhere,
even to the bathroom. He was my constant loyal companion, my loving child, my shadow.
Sammy was getting older, and one February morning, Golden Year 3 (2006), we went
for our walk but halfway we had to bring him back home because he couldn’t walk, his back legs
were paralyzed. What should we do? We didn’t want to euthanize him. Though as he suffered, we
sometimes wondered if we were making the right decision. Still, Sammy seemed to love life, no
matter how physically debilitated he got.
He was a big dog, and when he couldn’t walk anymore, we made a wheelchair for him
out of copper pipes; we copied what we saw on the internet. It was easy to make and inexpensive.
How Sammy loved that! For six months he used the wheelchair and wanted to go everywhere; in his
mind he thought he got the use of his legs back. Then he lost his sight and hearing.
Not long after that Sammy could no longer use his custom-made wheelchair! We had to
lift him up and down the stairs to go out to the bathroom. It took both of us, and we are pretty big
people! We felt so blessed that we work from home, so we could be around him all day and night.
During the summer we took Sammy for a month camping trip, with him
sleeping between us in the van every night. He adored that!
We knew that Sammy’s time to depart this plane was soon coming,
and talked to him about it. We told him that it was all right to go, that we
would miss him, but that was okay.
One early February morning, Golden Year 4 (2007), I woke up and
felt the need to go to Sammy. He was breathing heavily, and I didn’t want him
to suffer. I prayed to Master to take him quickly. Within two minutes he was
gone; he looked so peaceful.
Two days later during his meditation, Saiid, my husband, saw
Master come. She was in a white and gold dress, with a white hat, walking
with Sammy. Sammy ran up to Saiid; he looked so beautiful, all healthy and
robust. He licked Saiid’s hand, as if to say good-bye. Master called Sammy,
and away he happily went toward the light.
We feel so happy that we let Sammy live out his natural course of
life, and are so delighted and grateful that he has a very best Friend in heaven.
Thank You, Master!
PS. As You have probably already discovered, Sammy loves his tummy rubbed everyday!
An Understanding
G o o s e
By Nantou News Group, Formosa (Originally in Chinese)
M r. Huang is a farmer in Nantou County. He has a goose as a pet because he thinks geese are
friendly creatures that understand humans. He named him Dearie.
Dearie is a very special goose. He accompanies Mr. Huang’s eighty-year-old father for a
stroll in the fields every day. Every time old Mr. Huang calls Dearie, he goose steps his way out of
the barn and answers with an “aw” as if to say “I am coming.” Vehicles on the road usually slow
down to let old Mr. Huang, Dearie, and a little black dog walk safely and slowly by the roadside.
When we heard Dearie’s response to being summoned, we couldn’t help but feel that animals are
our good friends.
Mr. Huang eagerly told us, “One day, my father was not feeling well and could not go for
his daily walk. Dearie walked up to the glass door of the house and tapped it with his beak as if to
remind my father that it was time to take the walk.”
Dearie’s friendliness and understanding of humans is really remarkable. He even gives Mr.
Huang arm massages by gently squeezing them with his beak from the wrist up to the elbow. After
massaging one arm, he starts on the other arm. When we went to visit him, Dearie was kind enough
to give us a soothing massage, too.
Miss Huang said that Dearie is well-loved by her family and neighbors, and her family
have stopped eating goose meat. She sincerely appeals to people to take lifelong care of their pets,
no matter what kind they are.

Vegetarian Era
Vegetarian Children
By sister-initiate Sheila Coodin, Vancouver, Canada (Originally in English)
H
arvard Graduate School of Education Doctoral Student Karen Hussar is researching children
aged 6-10 who have become vegetarian, to write a dissertation on the reasons for children
becoming vegetarian. She looked at a total of 45 children and inquired, through role play,
about their reasons for adopting a plant-based diet. She had four different categories of reasons:
moral, personal, meat-eating, and social. To her surprise, most of the children had moral reasons
for their choice. For example, Alejandra Tumble, 10, talked about why she became vegetarian. She
thinks it strange that a pig can be processed into a thin slice of pink meat, and thinks it’s wrong
for her to eat that. Many of the children, even those who came from non-vegetarian homes, have
similar reasons, like “I don’t like the idea of killing animals,” or “I love animals and I didn’t want
to eat them. I just wanted to be nice.” Ms. Hussar believes we can learn a lot about morality from
vegetarian children as they don’t have any prescribed or preset answers to explain their decision, so
they are giving authentic responses about their reasons for deciding to keep the vegetarian diet.
This research is also very interesting as the results show that children are capable of making
independent moral decisions at this young age.

Vegetarian Era
City of Greater Vancouver Embraces

Vegetarianism
By Vancouver News Group (Originally in English)
P
aradise Vegetarian Noodle House, an initiate owned and
operated vegetarian restaurant in Greater Vancouver, British
Columbia, opened its doors three years ago. Every few months
there was a very positive unsolicited review of their restaurant in one
of the two main newspapers of Vancouver. However, recently, the
two initiates that own the restaurant say that there is a dramatic rise in
their lovely customers’ commitment to vegetarianism. People come
in, try the food, come back again, and say that they have become
vegetarian! In their restaurant, there are also vegetarian recipes and
information provided, including the Alternative Living flyers and
sample booklets in 11 languages.
The restaurant is located at the borderline of two of the
smaller cities which make up Greater Vancouver. On February 7
and 9 respectively, the community newspapers of both cities, New
Westminster and Burnaby, published wonderfully positive and
informative articles, which can also be accessed on-line, about the
restaurant, including Alternative Living flyers and the teachings of
Supreme Master Ching Hai on compassion for all living beings, and
the benefits of vegetarianism in general. The newspapers have a
combined door to door circulation of more than 65,000
households, plus many public places.
Indeed, veggie heaven is here and now,
and more and more people happily step in!

Light Shines into Television Darkness
Supreme Master Television brings Light to the World of Television
Y
By Marlis Bach
ou always hear the complaint that television only broadcasts negative news. But who
actually wants to watch such dark reporting? Television broadcasters do precise research
to determine which programs are popular and which are not. And apparently most of the
audience wants negative journalism. I won’t explore the psychological reasons here.
Does a positive channel stand a chance? Recently this very topic was discussed at the
Basel PSI Conference as part of a discussion about what was successful: everyone participating
(including Harald Wessbecher) was unanimous in that a television channel that only broadcast
positive news had no chance of surviving.
Shortly thereafter a press release from a TV channel that swore only to broadcast positive
material made the rounds here. The channel is called Supreme Master Television and was founded
by the Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association. The Association has already made a
big name for itself throughout the world for its humanitarian aid.
What’s showing?
The program is more diverse than I supposed and even the titles of the shows sound so
agreeably positive like: A Journey Through Aesthetic Realms, Words of Wisdom, or Vegetarianism
- the Noble Way of Living. These shows will beautify many an evening. Maybe this channel attracts
precisely those people who, in contrast to mainstream TV, do not always want to be deluged by
or even sprinkled with negative headlines. Maybe Supreme Master Television speaks to all those
people who are already searching for a better world and, in order to stay on the path, need some
support. In any case, I am very excited to see how people will react to this positive channel.
Online or Hotbird-Satellite
Technically, the channel presents a couple of hurdles that cannot be ignored. Watching
the press DVD was quite a bit more practical than it is for other viewers. The simplest would be
to receive the show by satellite. But most satellites are set to Astra which cannot receive Supreme
Master Television. However, you can get a second satellite dish and set it to Hot Bird. This would
have the advantage that you would receive more channels overall and would be able to choose from
many English language channels. The second option would be
to get an adjustable satellite which allows you to switch between
Astra and Hot Bird at the touch of a button. Those who are fond
of WebTV can also watch the programs on the internet (especially
recommended when the internet and television set are connected).
However, there’s no way to get around registering and downloading
some programs before finding the show you want. Nonetheless,
I do hope that many PULSAR readers will make the effort and
watch positive programs instead of the usually negative shows.

Love in Action
Brazil
God’s Love
Reaches South America – Part 2
By San Paulo News Group
I n the face of the disasters caused by heavy rains in some regions of Southern Brazil, our fellow
initiates have put Master’s loving instructions into action to render some relief to Nova Friburgo
and Sumidouro.(Please refer to the report in News #178.) Later, a group of fellow initiates again
brought Master’s comfort to the needy in two cities: Campos de Goitacases and Muriaé.
By the morning of January 25 in Campos de Goitacases, a city in the state of Rio de Janeiro,
four fellow initiates met with Ms. Ana Regina Campos Fernandes, the chief of Social Development
and Promotion Secretariat, to find out which kind of products should be purchased in enough
quantity for all the people who had been moved to a provisional public
place. We then bought R$17,972.89 (about US$8,405.27) worth of
detergent, household bleach, disinfectant, hand soap, toothpaste, toilet
paper, and baby diapers. By the late afternoon, the products were
delivered to “Dom Delfim” Educational Center, one of the temporary
storage places for relief contributions. We also bought R$10,000.00
(about US$4,676.64) worth of toothbrushes, which were delivered in
February.
That night, one brother went to Muriaé, a city in the south
of the state of Minas Gerais, and arrived the next day. According to
the people at the Social Development Secretariat of the city, in the
beginning of January, two floods had already forced many people to
either leave their homes or lose their possessions. Before people could
recover, Muriaé had just suffered another flood on January 25, making more victims. After talking
to Ms. Eveline Amaral, the chief of this secretariat, the brother bought 191 portable mattresses
worth R$5,440.00 (about US$2,544.09) for the city’s victims, especially the recent ones. The
mattresses were soon carried onto a city hall’s truck and taken to a club where the relief materials
were temporarily stored.
We felt that it was God’s arrangement that we always arrived in
time wherever we went to bring Master’s love and some material comforts
to those in need.

Blanket Distribution
in Barmer
By brother-initiate Adil Bhai, Rajasthan, India (Originally in English)
R ecently, the district of Barmer in India experienced an extremely cold winter. The temperature
dropped to zero and people would shiver even in the day time. They were in urgent need of
woolen clothes and blankets.
With the financial support from Master, fellow initiates from The Supreme Master Ching Hai
International Association distributed 500 blankets worth about 175,000 Indian rupees (US$3,833)
to the most desperate people, such as widows, the disabled and the poor. The
initiates divided themselves into five groups of 3-4 members and spent five days
to complete the mission. Upon receiving the
loving gifts the recipients were very grateful.
Some commented that they might have died
without the blankets. The initiates were glad to
bring God’s love to those most in need.

Almost 200 people attended the dinner and there were some sweaters, hats, gloves, as well
as personal hygiene items distributed to our homeless friends. Side by side, the sisters and brothers
worked to help serve everyone as a feeling of love filled the air.
After the event our homeless friends rushed to express their gratitude, with many saying,
“We’ve never been treated with such respect and love.” The initiates’ collective reply was “Don’t
thank us. Thank God.” One commented: “It’s really great to have people in this world that care

Volunteer Association of the local government’s Homeless
Friends Service Center. Since then, we have helped renovate
dormitories and install new living facilities for Guanzhao
Yuan, a halfway house for the homeless in the county. We
have also given the underprivileged people gifts and warm
clothes, and held soul-elevating seminars, Convenient
Method teaching sessions, and other activities for them. In
addition to warming the hearts of our homeless friends, we
have witnessed a continuous
elevation of their body, mind and soul. Another piece of good news
is that Guanzhao Yuan currently serves vegetarian meals for more
than ten whole days each month.
To express gratitude for the our long-term contribution to
the less fortunate people, Taipei County Magistrate Chou Hsi-wei
presented a certificate of appreciation to our Association at a year-
end celebration dinner held on February 12, Golden Year 4 (2007).
Some of our Association members were invited to sit at the head
table together with the County Magistrate, the Social Affairs Bureau
Director Li Li-chuan and Deputy Director Chan Yu-jung, as well as
Chairman Huang Hsing-hua of the Volunteer Association.
Fellow initiates introduce Master’s book, “The
Realization of Health,” and the Supreme Master
Television to distinguished guests.
Hsinchu
T he Hsinchu Center conveyed the love and care for homeless friends and wished them a happy
Lunar New Year by distributing gifts on February 6. These less fortunate people in Hsinchu

Love in Action
and Miaoli accepted the gift packages that included instant noodles, undergarments, sleeping bags,
eating utensils, seasonings, sauces, dish cleaning materials, and sanitation items. Apart from directly
distributing to needy homeless friends, we also delivered gifts, at the advice of the Social Affairs
Bureau, to The Cyun Ying Work Group Advance Confraternity, Hsinchu Homeless Shelter and
Miaoli Homeless Shelter, so that the items could reach the most needy people at the right time, thus
achieving the greatest efficiency.
On the same day, fellow initiates delivered used garments and toys to the Catholic Hua
Kuang Mental Ability Development Center and contributed Supreme Master Ching Hai’s spiritual
books to its library for reference by teachers.
Changhua
On Lunar New Year’s eve, fellow

initiates from Changhua visit
needy local households and
present them with New Year gifts
of cash funds.
Kaohsiung
A t the invitation of the Genesis Social Welfare

Foundation, the Kaohsiung Center participated
in a year-end dinner jointly convened for lonely old
folks and homeless friends by the Genesis, Ren-an
Foundation and Huashan Foundation on February
10. We prepared 300 gift bags containing warm
clothing and an Alternative Living leaflet for the
underprivileged people. The homeless friends were
surprised to receive the gifts, exclaiming with delight,
“We have gifts too!” A homeless mother held the hands
of a fellow initiate and said, “I am very grateful for your love!” The event ended on a beautiful note
with concerted effort by volunteers from the different groups.

In the following list are those among the good nations in which basic or greater

Music and Life
A Golden Lotus Has Left the World

- In Memory of the Most Venerable Thich Man Giac
Compiled from Supreme Master Television, Episode 161 and 162
O
n a morning in late March 1991, during a lecture tour in the United States at the time,
Supreme Master Ching Hai accepted the Most Venerable Thich Man Giac’s gracious
invitation to visit an Aulacese temple in Los Angeles, USA. The Most Venerable Thich
Man Giac and Supreme Master Ching Hai had the affinity to have known each other in earlier times.
On this occasion, they conversed with each other like close friends since time immemorial. Their
exchange was filled with laughter, as if Heaven and Earth joined in the festivities; thus the essence
of Zen seemed to permeate throughout the worldly realm.
The Most Venerable Thich Man Giac, also a distinguished poet, was the abbot of the
Aulacese Buddhist Temple until his passing on October 13, Golden Year 3 (2006). Moved by news
of his passing, Supreme Master Ching Hai has composed the poems “Golden Lotus” and “Sayonara”
in dedication to him. As the current abbot, Truong Vi , mentioned in a recent interview at the temple,
it was clear that the respect between Supreme Master Ching Hai and the Most Venerable Thich Man
Giac was mutual.
On February 21, Golden Year 4 (2007), some fellow initiates visited the Aulacese Buddhist
Temple to present Supreme Master Ching Hai’s gift of US$7,000 to the temple. Upon receiving this
gift, Abbot Truong Vi was deeply moved and speechless. He offered a book of the Most Venerable
Thich Man Giac’s and wrote:
Respectfully to
Bodhisattva Manifestation
Supreme Master Ching Hai
Thich Nhu Minh

Vietnamese Buddhist Temple
Los Angeles, California A note from Abbot Truong Vi, dedicating the Most
Spring, Year of the Pig 2007 Venerable Thich Man Giac’s book to Supreme
Master Ching Hai.
 Supreme Master Ching Hai has respected the Most Venerable Thich Man Giac’s
poetry and recited his poems in the traditional Aulacese style. These are recorded in the
collection titled “The Golden Lotus,” on DVD-770 and CD-M035.

Supreme Master Ching Hai’s Latest Books
The Dogs in My Life

English edition (Chinese and English bilingual edition will be released soon)
T he latest publication by Master, “The Dogs in My Life,” has just

been released! This fabulous real-life doggie tale, which Master
has dedicated to Her canine companions, is available in a two-part
set, complete with many full-color photographs.
Master’s dogs have been part of Her life since 2001 when
She began adopting them, one after another. Before the recent retreat
in Formosa, Master spent a great deal of time compiling and selecting
hundreds of photos for the first public release of this book set. Along
with Her role as author, editor, designer, and caption poet, Master was
also one of the book’s photographers!
Master said that it was actually the dogs who gave Her the
inspiration to compile and write these books, which provide the complete story of each dog’s
miraculous journey to rebirth and a new life, free of previous suffering. Full of love and warmth, the
books’ many photographs let us witness both touching and humorous moments as Master bathes,
walks, feeds, hugs, sings to, watches TV with, tells bedtime stories to, and shares moments of
closeness with Her dogs.
All of Master’s ten dogs vowed to follow Her as their only guide and to be Her guard their
whole lives, which moved Master deeply. Their expression of courage and devotion is truly humbling,
as described in one account where Happy and Lucky cried with Master when She was emotionally
low, steadfastly staying by Her side and refusing to leave the whole night long. Master said that if we
humans could love God like Her doggies love Her, we would attain the Kingdom of God immediately!
Master hopes that after reading these books, we will better appreciate what noble beings our animal
friends on Earth truly are, and thus, come to respect other sentient beings even more.
