Kids Save the World Wednesday, December 3, 2008
In a previous post, we blogged about the young vegetarian kid who is doing his best to save the world, adopting a vegetarian diet, and driving a zero emission vehicle.
We looked at the design of his bike, and we were deeply moved that such a young vegetarian hero doing his very best to save the world. Not only is he a vegetarian, he is driving a zero emission vehicle !
We saw him park his vehicle at a vegetarian restaurant, but we didn't get to see him.
So we waited, and not so long later, our young vegetarian hero shows up...
How can he leave his beloved zero emission vehicle alone ? With very daft moves, he picks it up, turn it around, and he's ready to go !!
Hang on kiddo, wait,.. our hero, wouldn't you pose for a shot ?
We managed to take a photo as he left the vegetarian restaurant, and carried his beloved green bike down the stairs.
We love you kid !!
Children of the world who wants to save the Earth.. Please follow this kid's example, eat vegetarian meals.. that is how you can be a hero and save our world !

No Thanks, Gandhi went cold turkey .. Friday, November 28, 2008
The film Gandhi (1982) depicts the story of one of the greatest statesman and vegetarian, Mahatma Gandhi. I remember watching the film very attentively as I was interested to know the life that he lived and what he had done for India.I have known that he was a humble lawyer by training, and his love for his country motivated him to bring unity amongst the different races in India. This motivation was similar to what had happened to another great statesman of China, Dr. Sun Yat Sen who loved his country deeply.
One particular scene was very graphic. Gandhi was the leader of a whole group of followers who were fighting for their rights in a public display of civic disobedience of a non-violent nature. On the other side rows of policemen armed with batons ready to put them down. One by one, Gandhi and his followers came forward, unarmed and defenseless, and were clobbered down mercilessly by the policeman. In the end, Gandhi won the cause, at the cost of a lot of blood and pain. Non-violence triumphed over violence.
It was a very disturbing scene. I didn't know what to make of it. But that film did teach me at least two words. That Mahatma means a great soul, and Gandhi earned it by his devotion and unconditional labour of love. The other word which I learned was Ahimsa, a state of non-violence.
Now it is Thanksgiving season again in America. If you are still living in the tit-for-tat world, if you are still eating meat, and if you still believe that your life must be sustained at the cost of another turkey's life, then this thanksgiving you could be using violence against a living turkey. You killed the turkey, or caused the turkey to be killed at the hands of others in order that its flesh can be roasted and brought to the dinner table for your "consumption".
If you are still killing a live turkey, I hope you remember the Gandhi movie. The turkey represents the spirit of Gandhi. He wants to fight for his own right to live. He is completely harmless and unarmed. He is defenceless yet defiant as the butcher's knife is brought down against his throat.
If you eat the turkey, you are the policeman in the Gandhi film. You are the perpetrator of violence. You believe in the negative powers. You believe that might is right. You live in self-justified brutality, not caring whether it is at the expense of another living being. As you use your fork to dig into the turkey meat, every single strike is the same strike that the policeman used to clobber Gandhi.
You should know that in the end Gandhi triumphed. So will the turkey. Stop the senseless violence now! Let it never happen again in your life. There are so many alternatives available toay. You can search for veggie turkey recipes in the internet. You can buy tofurky products. You can even order from restaurants like One World. There is no excuse.
Make every day a cold-turkey day for you. Gandhi went cold turkey. So should you !
May your life be blessed by your mercy. Heaven will smile on you, and the turkeys will thank you for their life.

I Will Save The Earth Tuesday, November 25, 2008
A very very touching song you can hear when you visit Kids for Saving The Earth a song sung by kids who are very concerned about saving the Earth.Supreme Master Ching Hai has unambiguously charted the way forward for all the people and kids in the world to save the Earth. Go Vegetarian ! Go Vegan ! That is the best way to save our precious Earth.
Meat eating is polluting our environment and it is the number One contributor to green house warming gas according to United Nations Report in 2006 entitled "Livestock's Long Shadow". See Dr. Pachauri 's blog Lifestyle Changes for a Healthy Planet Dr. Pachauri heads over a thousand scientists engaged in studying global warming at the UN Inter Governmental Panel on Climate Change.
Start with eating less meat now ! Choose Vegetarian or Vegan meals !
Intelligent kids, tell your parents you want to go vegetarian to save the Earth..
If there is no vegetarian meal in your school, talk to your teacher about it. Talk to your parents, ask them ! Schools should provide vegetarian sandwiches !!

Loving Hut @ Suntec Singapore with Nikon D90 - Part 3 Saturday, November 8, 2008
"Thy Word have I hid in my heart, That I may not sin against Thee."The First Commandment of the Holy Bible is "Thou Shalt Not Kill"
The Lord is infinitely merciful. Hes does not wish to see suffering inflicted on even the least of the animals amongst us..
And so we placed an order for the blood-free Braised Garden Mushroom Soup, a delightful mix of mushrooms in thick gravy... Didn't really get to enjoy this dish as I was busy taking pictures of the food on the table..
"Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy."
The two noodles and rice set actually comes with clear corn soup gratis.
And of course, peace begins with me, peace begins from this table, and from this meal for which we give thanks to the Lord..
Satisfied and effused with soft golden glow, our conscience is as clear as the soup !
"Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever and ever."
Amen.

Loving Hut in Singapore !! Wednesday, October 29, 2008
Today I brought my kids to Loving Hut at Suntec City 3rd floor, Sky Garden... The food was gorgeous.My kiddos and my ""secretary" ordered 3 Rainbow Rice. I had a plate of Herbal Rice, which I knew is very nice. We have side dish of satay and tofu jackets. The tofu jackets were heavenlicious. . I was at the Master Chef's house when the tofu jackets were cooked, so I have already tasted their skills, fantastic !!
The World Honored One is of course, needless to say a Supreme Cook Herself. If you just watch suprememaster tv or download the cooking shows, you will know what I mean.. The World Honored One's vegan culinary skills is peerless !! She cooks main dish and side dish together, whether it is over gas stove, electric stove or wooden fire !! Str-'fry, steam, boil or oven baked, there is nothing She doesn't do !!
Want to know how good Loving Hut's food is ? At the end of the meal, all our plates were empty, and all the soup bowl too !!
My daughter says she wants to go to Loving Hut again !
