On May 9th, 2009, Supreme Master Ching Hai was invited to attend the videoconference on global warming entitled “Be Organic Vegan to Save the World.”  During the conference, the Supreme Master pointed out that the oceans play a major role in regulating the global climate.  However, fishing has severely disturbed the complex ecosystems of the world’s oceans.  Since global warming spares no one, each person is responsible to do their best in awakening noble qualities in themselves; that is to adopt an organic vegan diet, which not only benefits our health so that we can keep diseases away but also helps strike a balance between agriculture and the environment.  The Supreme Master said, “If we wish to live healthily and happily ourselves, we should let others live likewise.  This is the best guideline.”
