Lord Stern says: Give up meat to save the planetLord Stern, a famous climate change expert and author of the "The Stern Review on the Economics of Climate Change" has spoken up on the need to give up meat for the sake of the planet.

Swine Flu found in live pigs imported into Singapore.. DO NOT EAT MEAT !! Tuesday, October 6, 2009
On Sept 5, Singapore Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) discovered swine flu in live pigs imported into Singapore from Indonesia's Pulau Bulan. Note that the official news media report did not say the live pigs will be killed, which leaves the reader to imagine that these pigs will be allowed into Singapore, on the condition of they being isolated ? Is it the plan to keep infected pigs isolated, wait for the pig fever to subside, then assume all is well, and proceed to slaughter for sale ?We have no idea what is the handling procedure, but this much is certain.. The desire to eat meat is the cause of the world's problem right now, food shortage, water shortage, deforestation to clear land for livestock grazing, and incurable, novel diseases such as swine flu, bird flu, CJD, MRSA, salmonella, pig's disease PMWS etc etc.
The bottom line is clear. Stay away from MEAT. MEAT is POISON. Do not consume MEAT. Do not support the industry that is creating world-wide pandemic and chaos. STOP buying MEAT. Stop EATING MEAT. MEAT is killing our children, killing our planet, killing our lives.

孔子之仁、义、礼、智、信 与观音法门的五戒 Wednesday, September 30, 2009
有两千年文化历史的儒家鼻祖孔子到底是不是一位修行人? 这是一个有趣的问题。很多人用世俗的眼光来理解圣人的等级，就会说孔子对＂道＂一窍不通，说什么孔子的学说是入世之道等等。根据清海无上师的开示，孔子与老子都是观音法门的修行人.如果孔子，老子都是修行人，那么我们能否在孔子的哲学概念里面看到观音法门的＂五戒＂踪影吗？答案自有分晓。
观音法门的＂五戒＂又是什么呢? 那就是不杀生、不偷盗、不妄语、不邪淫、不喝酒（包括不用毒品）.这五戒可以简称为 "杀、盗、淫、酒、妄" .
先看孔子的＂仁＂讲的是什么。仁者：仁爱，仁慈，仁义之师之仁。这个＂仁＂衍含着天下为公、大道无私的精神. 天下为大同,把天下的有情众生视为自己的亲身骨肉班地仁慈相待，那么古代的圣贤又怎么可能吃众生的肉，喝众生的血呢？这个包含慈悲，博爱的＂仁＂自然而然自然而然的就跟观音法门的第一戒 ＂戒杀＂不谋而合了。
孔子的＂义＂又是什么呢？义：义务，大义，义举之义。有义气的人，不会做出无耻的钩当。不是自己的东西不可以占为己有，这个＂义＂当然包含了＂路不拾遗＂的美德，这样正是附和观音法门的＂戒盗＂。盗窃的行为将为有义之士共耻。
＂礼＂是什么呢？礼者：礼貌，礼让，礼义之邦之礼。非礼勿视，非礼勿为，有礼的人是不会轻易犯了观音法门的＂戒淫＂,因为那是无礼的行为，不是光明正大的君子行为。
孔子的＂智＂是什么呢？智者：智慧，智力，睿智之智。有智慧的人不是迷迷糊糊的过日子，所以有智慧的人不会是＂瘾君子＂，更不可能染上对身心有害的恶习。不喝酒，不抽烟，不赌博。远离一切无明的、败坏身心的行为，才是头脑清醒的智者!这也是观音法门的＂戒酒＂用意.
孔子的＂信＂又是什么呢？信者：诚信，信誉，公信之信也。有信的人岂能言而无信？君子一言既出，四马难追！出尔反尔，绝非君子所为。观音法门的＂戒妄＂正是讲信义的人必须遵守的规则。
讲到这里我们已经发现，孔子的“五常”仁、义、礼、智、信 其实已经体现在观音法门的"杀、盗、淫、酒、妄"。五戒的内衍和精神和孔子的＂仁、义、礼、智、信＂是相埔相成的。说孔子是观音法门的修人是有根据的，可以成立的卓见！
孔子对＂仁＂特别的重视，仁在＂仁、义、礼、智、信＂里占有首席的地位，没有仁，其他的理念就不用谈了。可见孔子对慈悲的理念非常注重!
恰好根据清海无上师的开示，"戒杀"为＂五戒＂之首。"戒杀"的要求，不止不可以杀人，就连动物也要发慈悲心，吃全素，不吃众生肉。在目前地球面临危机的当下，更显得十分迫切!
清海无上师的开示说如果第一戒＂戒杀＂破了，一吃荤食，其他的四戒也会被破掉的。原因很简单，人一开始吃肉，就会学西方的饮食习惯，什么肉配什么酒等等。这样一来，＂戒酒＂就会在不知不觉中破了。酒喝多了就会酒后闹事，在不经意的情况下又轻易地犯了盗戒或淫戒。等清醒的时候，又要找借口掩饰自己的行为。说了第一次谎话，就什么戒也要破掉。因为有了第一个谎话，就必须有第二个谎话来圆第一个谎话的场。同样理由，有了第二个谎话就必须创造第三个谎话来掩饰。这样下去，什么戒都不用守了。
由此可见，明师是多么注重＂戒杀＂。吃素是非常重要的，无论在个人修行或拯救地球，吃素都是最关键的首要目标。

Swine Flu H1N1 A (2009) The Singapore Story Saturday, July 4, 2009
4 decades ago the founding fathers of Singapore faced a major crisis. In the first wave of attack, Singapore became subjects of the British Empire. In the second wave of attack, Japan tramples on Singapore like an orchid. In the third wave of attack, Malaysia divorced Singapore and left Singapore an unwanted child.Our founding fathers do not flinch when faced with a crisis. With determination, guts and passion, they went all out to claim what is their just rights.
Nobody believed Singapore can make it but we did...
Now generation X suddenly find themselves in the midst of a major crisis, a crisis that is unlike any other crisis, a crisis that threatens not just Singapore economy, but the very existence of the human species, a crisis so large that the entire planet can be destroyed, a crisis with multiple threats of not just swine flu but includes bird flu, mad cow disease, climate change, artic ice melt.
It is not just about creating an economic miracle any more, the stakes are much higher this time..
The entire human species, and the animal species is at stake. This is even more important than any economic problem. People are dying around the world, animals are dying, whales and dolphins beach themselves because the methane bubbling up from the ocean created dead zones and deprive them of oxygen. Where does all these methane came from ? Not surprisingly, they came from factory run-offs,
yes, you guessed it, the result of live stock raising.
We are now in the first wave of swine flu attack. Republic Polytechnic became the first largest school cluster, but certainly not the last. The principal became the first to be petitioned by 1,900 students.
Does RP flinch and run away or stay back and fight ?
There are two pills: Green and Red.
Take the red pill, and you go back to normal, hide your cowardly self in the midst of the matrix. Try to find safety in numbers. (how long can you hide ?) Eat meat and be "normal". Watch mainstream TV every day and be bombarded with meat-is-good propaganda every 5 minutes interval. Wash your hands, take your temperature and wear a mask. Pretend you don't know anything about the link between meat and climate change.
Take the green pill, pull yourself out of the matrix. Start to live and let live. Become a vegan. Do not let animals suffer for your meals. Live like a true gentleman/gentlewoman and be a hero. Shut down the pig farms, save the world.
It takes a lot of courage to pick up the green pill and swallow it.
Against all odds, they say it cannot be done.. it is impossible for Singapore to do it ...
Hero or zero ?? RP, we are looking up to you...
Can you do it ?? Yes, YOU !!! You are The One ..
Believe in yourself, Neo, take the green pill !!!
Veganism is the only solution to save the world.

Arc de Triomphe surprisingly is much bigger and taller than is shown in the picture. From the Effiel Tower it looks like a structure built for the giants. Overlooking the charming and beautiful Avenue des Champs-Élysées it is more than 10 storey high with an elevator going to the top for a panoramic view of Paris. It sits on a circle where roads from the twelve directions merge, a popular design which influenced most of the American cities during the age of the industrial revolution.
Parisians, if you love your beautiful city, please go vegan to save the world..

King's Gambit Declined or Why the World has still not declared the 2009 human swine flu pandemic ? Sunday, June 7, 2009
We live in a complex world, getting increasingly more complicated.We are told that in this age of complexity, complex diseases are bound to happen.
We need to resolve the basic underlying problems of these diseases, in a timely and wise manner, as it concerns the future livelihood of our children, the hopes of our human species and indeed the survival of our planet is at stake.
We present the simple innocence of a vegan child who wants to know why the world we live in is getting increasingly dangerous, and what is the solution to human swine flu ?
Child : Mommy, what is swine flu pandemic ?
Mother : My dear, quite simply a pandemic is a major disease outbreak that is occurring all over the world.
Child : Mommy, why is the swine flu not yet declared a pandemic ? Why are we still on level 5 alert according to WHO ?
Mother : Well, my dear, the health authorities are considering various criteria, such as the kill rate, the evidence for local domestic infections etc etc and they are very, very reluctant, extremely reluctant to declare the current siwne flu outbreak as a pandemic despite mounting evidence that the disease is spreading and spreading without signs of abating.
Child : Mommy, what are the adults concerned about ? What will happen to the world if they declare the human swine flu (H1N1 A influenza) pandemic ?
Mommy : Well, my dear child, a lot is at stake if the world is declaring the current swine flu outbreak as a pandemic, and that is why the adults are dragging their feet. Declaring a pandemic has enormous consequences. The primary pork producers, the industry responsible for creating the massive unhygenic, inhumane conditions for pig farms, which resulted in the birth of human swine flu will be hit hardest. The authorities are afraid of lost of economy, or money income from the cruel and wicked meat industry. It is a huge US$26 billion global industry with a lot of political clout. There are also other worries. They are mainly political worries, such as putting the health authorities in a tight spot. They may run out of strategies to combat the swine flu pandemic. They may be faced with a situation where they suddenly find their decades old disease prevention protocols and processess being challenged and found wanting. So it has huge impact on a lot of people's fortunes, the scientists' reputation, the health authorities' reputation as guardian of public health, loss in public confidence, triggering loss in stock market confidence etc etc.
Child : Mommy, is it like a chess game the adults are playing ?
Mommy : Yes my dear, very much so it is like a chess game. Yeah, the virus could be playing King's Gambit. Right now the ball is in the court of the humans. The authorities are hoping for a break, they are praying that nature will give humanity a break and not force the virus to mutate too quickly before a vaccine is available etc.. so that the health authorities and the people in power can heave a huge sigh of relief, and life can go back to normal for everyone, and people can continue to eat meat in blissful ignorance..
Child : Mommy, what is the strategy of the adults ?
Mother : They really are running out of options.. They have tried containment, half heartedly, and it doesn't appear to be very effective, because it they carry out containment strategy to the fullest, they would have to ban air travel, but that path is considered too costly, again due to econmoic considerations.. there will be huge impact on economy, banning air travel bans trade as well, and money drive this world, my dear, not kindness, at least people have not realized that yet..
Child : Mommy, what other strategies can the adults consider ?
Mother : Well, my dear, not much options really, if all they want to do is continue "status quo", continue to destroy animal's lives and sacrifice them three times daily in ordinary citizen's kitchen table, and continue to drive the earth's environment beyond repair and resulting in permanent loss of 270 species daily, and over 5 billion animals slaughtered needlessly for food annually, the degradation and genocide of flaura and fauna, extinction of species, loss of bio-diversity, climate change, water wastage, ocean deserts or oxygen-less dead zones in our oceans etc. etc.
Child : Mommy, what about contact tracing, and personal hygiene, such as washing hands ?
Mother : Those are tactical parts of the containment strategy which appear to be failing, little tactics and tactical moves that address the symptoms of the human swine flu problem but did not attack the main threat, the source of the problem per se.
Well, if the authorities are forced to the wall by the human swine flu virus, they may well have to resort to "education", telling the public to be prepared to face the music, face the worst scenario, and that somehow their responsibilities can be discharged by "conditioning" the public expectation and perparing them for the consequences of their own choice, the choice of meat and its fatalistic retribution. In other words, be prepared to die for the pleasure of eating meat !
Child : Can't the adults think out of the box ? Like the King's Gambit Accepted !
Mother : Well, my dear, we hope they do... we certainly hope so. There is a King's Gambit Accepted vailable, but they are oh... so reluctant to consider it... that will be certainly one of the last resorts...
Child : Why, mommy ?
Mother : Well, my dear, the King's Gambit Accepted, is to move from the meat-eating world to an organic vegan world. To shut down the source of infection, the pig farms, the livestock farms, which are the breeding grounds of human swine flu by completely eliminating the demand for meat, and therefore generating zero supply for the meat industry.
Child : Won't it be a world disaster to lose the income from the meat industry ?
Mother : Well, dear, there is no fear as the lost of one industry will transform to the rise of another industry. The new industry could well be organic vegan ! In the United States alone, flu epidemics are estimated at an economic loss of US$500 billion annually, and that is many times more than what the Pork Industry earns globally !! So the maths really do not work out in favour of meat.. Further more if all the adults can think about is burn ratio, all that talk about slow burn or fast burn, will only lead to an unpleasant end game scenario, the charcoal burn !! That's the scenario where what is left is charcoal left over of burnt dead human bodies !! What price can you put to a human life ?? It's precious beyond monetary value !!
Child : So let's move to the vegan world now !!
Mother : We will have patience, my dear. We will wait to see which is the first nation in the world to declare their country vegan. You see, the people with power don't like to be forced to "show hand", or to disclose the last trump card they held close to their chest, which may be calling their bluff.. When they are forced to show hand, they will be forced to face God, their own conscience, their own highest moral judge, and that will be a very ugly scenario. There can be no excuses, they will have to be accountable to themselves, for the choices they made and the consequences of those choices which affects millions of people, the possibility of human treason, crime against humanity and nature, crime against the animals, crime against God. And that is something even the toughest, most powerful person in the world will fear to face. They would like to appear to be in control.. but sooner or later they will realize the only solution to all this madness is the vegan solution, as the end draws near and all other options have been explored, they will be forced to face the only one last drastic action left, the vegan solution. Let's hope the world make it in time, before the end game ends the world !!

Human Swine Flu lessons learned.... A wake up call !! Wednesday, June 3, 2009
Many years ago, I remembered the kind of look a friend cast upon me, when he learned that I was a vegetarian... He looked at me at the train station like I was some kind of alien...It was laughable, but actually, friends, Truth be told, vegetarians are the most "normal" people in this world. They are the ones who wish to keep the world together, to ensure the continuity of this planet, the survivability and sustainability through a compassionate lifestyle and diet, respect for the animals and respect for our environment. They are the Heroes !! The real world saviours !!
The so-called "normal" meat-eating mass is the one who are trying to destroy the world.
They are so willing to sacrifice everything... resources, water, land, air, even encourage new diseases and viruses to grow, all these things, just to satisfy their palette for a few seconds, as they push down the animal carcass into their throats. They are the ones who attract disaster and diseases into this world, and if they do not change, they will cause the world to come to an end.
If you watch Supreme Master Television. You will understand everything. You will know all the harm that we have inflicted on the planet through our actions and our eating habits.
---
Now about the Human-Swine Flu. We know it is a triple hybrid mutant, combined virus from human, pigs and bird flu. It is a very malicious virus.. There are more bad news... It has jumped from pigs to human, that is the first piece of bad news. Now another major "feat"... It is transmitting amongst human-to-human...
You want more bad news ? It is now transmitting from human back to pigs !!! A very clever virus indeed, that is trying to create havoc and wreck the lives of humans.
My intelligent friends, please wake up !!! I don't want to say any more..
Our eating habits are killing us !!! It is killing our children, it is killing animals, and it is killing our planet... We ARE what we EAT ... Do you want to become a SWINE ????
Do you want your body to be a temple for the SWINE virus, the playground of the Human-Swine flu ????
Please stop it.. If you stop eating meat, the pig farms will close down.
If the pig farms closed down, the Human Swine Flu virus will lose its breeding ground.
It is so simple !!! Just do it !!!
Stop breeding Human Swine Flu !!! Say NO to Human Swine Flu..
STOP EATING MEAT !!! and cease to support the live stock industry !!
Pork is NOT SAFE to eat.
We need to change here !!! Don't leave it to the government to "take care of things" !!
Look at Mexico City !! The government close down when it is faced with a serious pandemic issue.. who are you going to rely on to solve the problem ?? You, YOU are the solution... No one else.
Don't rely on the scientist... They are just "learning" about the new virus, they will tell you they don't know anything about it .... and if you want a stronger "medicine" to suppress your "symptoms" wait a few more months, they tell you, then everyting will be "OK". Ask the scientist whether the virus can be eradicated, they will tell you NO, ask them what happens as they lurk
dormant inside the human body, and they will tell you they DON'T KNOW the long term effects..
You, my friends, you are the solution to these problems, because they are
caused by your eating habits !!
Do not pretend to be an "innocent bystander"... Do not wait for instructions from the government, or the health ministry. The health department will just tell you to wash your hands more frequently, while you are still "eating meat".... How many times do you think you can wash hands in a day ???
Just wash as many times as possible, every other second.. and then the problem will "go away" !!
The only real solution, my friends, wake up !!! Change to a healthy diet !!
Change to a vegetarian or vegan diet !!! Do it NOW !!!
Please don't let the young children die of the Human Swine Flu virus when you can do something about it..
Be a hero !!! Save our world !!
Step up, step forward and be counted ...
Contribute your part to the solution,
do not take part in perpetuating the problem !!
Be VEG. Save our planet.

Best Way to Stop Human Swine Flu.. Thursday, April 30, 2009
The recent and sudden emergence of the Human Swine Flu brought panic to many countries..This is the first time the flu has jumped from pigs to humans and is transmittable amongst humans..
But this is not the first time such strange, viscious diseases that are connected to animals have appeared. We have already seen many before.. the mad cow's disease, red tide, the Avian Flu.
What kind of world are we creating for our children ? Why is our world getting more and more dangerous each day ??
Please read the warning signs.. These are all diseases related to animals... Why are they affecting us ??
Every meal that you take which involves killing the animals, storing the carcass, transporting it to the retail outlet and finally landing on your dinner plate. Every time you order a meat based meal, you are contributing to the potential spread of the disease, you are providing support for the disease to flourish..
Wise and intelligent readers, it is a very simple matter to make the link between these strange new diseases and our eating habit.
Stop eating meat and meat-based products now !!!
Go Vegan to stop the spread of human-swine flu.
You have the power to stop it.. Do it for the sake of your children !!

Count Down for Planet Earth : 1422 Days Left Tuesday, March 3, 2009
The countdown to the point of No Return for Planet Earth's global warming catastrophe has officially begun on Valentine's Day Feb 14 2009. At that time, we had 1439 days left.For those who watch Supreme Master Television infrequently, in case you are not informed, the countdown for Planet Earth has begun... As at today, we have only 1422 days left before the point of No return.
This is hardly 4 years left!! After the appointed time if there is not enough vegetarians in this world to turn around the evil karma of killing, our Earth's global warming will reach the point of no return,
and its fate will be similar to planet Mars 40 million years ago,
meaning to say most people on Earth will die, and it will be a terrible, slow death if it is coming from the poisonous gases below the Arctic.
If you want to help save the world, please listen to Supreme Master Ching Hai, switch to a vegetarian diet right now, and encourage other people to do the same.

48 degrees N Friday, February 13, 2009
In Paris, we travelled by metro, since at the Roissy CDG airport, we had to go 25 km inwards towardss Paris, and depending on who you believe in the internet, a taxi trip will cost you between 36 euros and 80 euros, so taxi is oout of the question for us.. As for bus, we had confusing directions given to us by airport staff, so we decided a two days metro ticket is the best value for money.. It will bring us right to the heart of downtown Paris and on top of that, we get to travel anywhere on bus or train free of charge.. for two days at least..The Paris metro is very complicated and confusing at the same time, with many similar names and stations that appear on one map and not on the other. It seems there are three types of trains in Paris, the regional, high speed bullet train run by SNCF, called the TGV, and the intra Paris metro, of which there are two types, hence two maps. The first type is a single storey short carriage train, which stops at many convenient places in Paris and travels above ground so you can take in the sights as well. The second type of train is two storeys, and have comfortable coach seats, and it travels mostly underground, so you dont get to see anything at street level.
Car rental is out of our budget, as it is not cheap just for 2 days, when bus and train are so easy. They drive on the wrong side of the road, if you are from Asia, United Kingdom or Austrlia, but if you are from USA, then the French drive on the correct side ;-)
When we are in the hotel room, our vegan meal is three veggie cans, a packet of spaghetti and a bottle of tomato ketchup, with a portable electric travelling pot. We cook with mineral water initially until we found the hotel room tap water is actually quite safe for cooking. When on the road touring, we look out mostly for a cuppa cafe and the ever present plain, simple and delicious baguatte. We have foound throughout Paris, the cheapest baguette is about .80 euro, and the most expensive can be 3 euros..
When ordering the cuppa, don't ask for coffee, because they will give you American coffee, which has milk inside, ask for "en cafe" instead, or the plain Expresso. French coffee is good !!
We were very pleased whenever we spotted Vegetarian meals in the menu of the restaurants. So far we found a couple of bars and restaurants serving vegetarian meals, even Subway has a baguatte sandwich that is vegetarian ! We don't take any of these since we already plan on cooking in the hotel room..
While blogging this entry using a linux Asus wireless in our hotel room, we saw the news on CNN about the Australian fire and the greater than hurricane level winds.. More disasters coming around the world.. Please if you read this blog, anywhere in the world.. turn to a vegetarian diet now, it can save you, it can save your loved ones, and it can stop 80% of the global warming..
Be a vegetarian hero now !! The world needs you !

How Mars was destroyed by climate change Sunday, February 8, 2009
News flash from Supreme Master Television.The first part of the 5 parts series on Mars, Benevolent Messages from Mars: Be Virtuous and Save the Earth. This series is now showing on "Between Master and Disciples" at Supreme Master Television as we speak..
While waiting for the transcript to become available, here is a sketch of the exciting but gruesome details of how Mars met its end as revealed by Supreme Master Ching Hai...
Some of the points covered in the first part:
- The destruction of Mars happened 40 million years ago. Most of the Mars people were killed as the end came swiftly, and most of them did not believe that they will die, but they did.
- The Martians die a terrible, agonizing death, a death by suffocation over 4 days
- The two main posionous death gases identified as killing the Martians were Hydrogen Sulphide and Nitrous Oxide. These two gases, together with methane released by livestock raising, killed the Martians.
- The Martians suffered global warming symptoms similar to Earth, the ocean warmed up, releasing poisonous gases, the glaciers melt, releasing poisonous gases
- The first wave of death hit 90 % of the Mars population, including animals. Then after a while, 5% of the population died, and after some more time, another 3.8% perished.
- The initial survivors on Mars amounted to 0.2% or about 2 million. Their number has grown to this day.
- The initial survivors dug underground tunnels and caves, and over a period of 20 years, they found each other, initially by telepathy, and later meeting up physically together to form communities.
- The survivors lived near underground river.
- The survivors lived frugally, re-cycling and also spiritually. They took records to remind their descendants of what happened to Mars.
- Some parts of the underground caves measured 10 meters tall, almost 5 stories high.
- Mars as it is now is beyond repair by any human effort. However nature will heal it over the next 1 million years, when some small shrubs will grow, some weeds, then rivers will form again and so on... so it will take another 1 million years before Mars will become habitable by humans.

SOS Singapore Loving Hut Exhibition Saturday, January 10, 2009
Here's a look at the recently concluded SOS Global warming exhibition held at Suntec City Loving Hut.
Many thanks to Loving Hut and Pangat Authentic Indian Cuisine. Both restaurants very kindly sponsored this exhibition event to raise Singaporean's awareness of the disastrous effects of global warming and the critical link between climate change and the meat-based diet.
Many people shopping at the Suntec City Mall were attracted to the imaginative decor of the exhibition and stopped by for a meal. They were given SOS flyers and watched the Supreme Master Television which was set up at a corner of the venue.
May many more Singaporeans become aware each day of the critical state of our planet, and make the new year resolution to Be Veg and Save our planet !
