In Shining World Compassion Award News from Australia …
Dr. Munjed Al Muderis is a courageous surgeon who has made great advancements in the field of osseointegration prosthetic limbs. Following his conscience, he fled Baghdad after receiving orders to perform harmful procedures on men who were brought to the hospital or face grave consequences. After finally settling safely in Australia, in 2010 he began his career in orthopedic surgery. His work in osseointegration is world-class, involving the development of revolutionary technology utilized to create prosthetic limbs. Dr. Al Muderis is also actively engaged in various efforts to help refugees. “Over the last six centuries, amputees have been treated by a socket-mounted prosthesis. This technology hasn’t changed over these centuries. It’s very inconvenient, it causes a lot of skin friction and a lot of excoriation, heat rash and blisters, and infection. Other problems are mobility and fit, and the patient that uses this prosthesis usually walks without feeling the ground. So, this revolutionary technology that we came up with is basically by skeletally attaching a titanium, high-tensile strength rod into the residual skeleton, similar to the alignment of what a normal body is like, and then connecting it through a small opening in the skin to a robotic limb. And in upper limbs, we hook up the nerves with myoelectric prosthesis so it becomes mind-controlled. This basically brings amputees as close as possible to being able to walk with normality. The vast majority of amputees feel that they have their life back. There is nothing more exciting than the smile and the tears of joy that I see on the faces of children when they see their parents walk again and being able to interact with them in a more natural way.”
For his empowering work, our Most Gracious Supreme Master Ching Hai: “Appreciatively present Dr. Al Muderis with the Shining World Compassion Award plus US$20,000 as a humble token of support, (if allowed,) toward the refugee-foundation under his care.” She further added, “Thank you for giving so many the gift of happiness through independent mobility by your skilled hands and making our world more aware of the plight of asylum seekers and refugees.”
Our Association members in Sydney, Australia, joyfully presented the Award letter, crystalline plaque, Master’s financial contribution, as well as Her uplifting publications and DVDs to Dr. Al Muderis. “You’ve travelled worldwide to impart your brilliant skills and technique, enhancing the lives of countless people through the surgeons you teach. Equally important is your work as a respected humanitarian and human rights advocate, saying, ‘I believe that we are all equal, we are all the same, regardless of our religion, background or color.’ Your love has led you on many self-funded missions to heal the body and hearts of traumatized people, rekindling their confidence…”
“Supreme Master Ching Hai, thank You very much for this generous donation and for the award. I feel very humbled and very privileged to be chosen to have the award and the recognition; and I can assure You that this will help a lot to pursue the goals of helping people in need and people who cannot afford the treatment, and this will go further to support the humanitarian cause.”
Our elated congratulations, Dr. Al Muderis and all involved, in this noble work. May the day come soon when everyone can live in peace and comfort, feeling Heaven’s radiant love. For the full presentation of the Shining World Compassion Award to Dr. Munjed Al Muderis, please tune in to our Shining World Awards program at a later date.
Study highlights the protective effects of COVID-19 antibodies.
Recent research published in the JAMA Internal Medicine journal has revealed that people who have recovered from the coronavirus and tested positive for COVID-19 antibodies had a much lower risk of reinfection. Conducted by the National Cancer Institute and the companies LabCorp, Quest Diagnostics, Aetion Inc. and HealthVerity, the study evaluated the data of over 3.2 million people from the United States. It was found that of the almost 12% of people who had received a positive result for coronavirus antibodies, only 0.3% of them became reinfected. However, of the people without antibodies, 3%, or ten times more, became infected. The study also noted that the immunity appeared to last for over 90 days. Our appreciation, all researchers involved. In Divine grace, may we protect ourselves and others through careful actions and the cultivation of the compassionate vegan lifestyle.

Hooray, treasured friends, it’s me, Jazzi the vegan Gazelle! Get your energy directly from the sun through plants. You will feel the difference. Try it; it’s the sustainable way. Be vegan! Today we have another delicious food tip from Beloved Supreme Master Ching Hai: “Hi kids! Do you know how the English people eat vegan lamb chops with their meal? They use peppermint vinegar sauce. It’s very simple. You remember how I taught you to dry the peppermint in your refrigerator? Just wrap them in the towel, keep them in there for a few days and then they become dry and crispy. You can crumple them and put them in vinegar and spread it on your vegan lamb, vegan lamb chops. And then you enjoy it with gravy and potatoes, the way the English people eat them, or with noodles. If you have fresh peppermint, of course you can also use that with vinegar to make vinegar peppermint sauce. Or you can buy the finely chopped dried peppermint in the supermarket. Voilà! Simple and nutritious! Nowadays, we have all kinds of vegan stuff. It’s good for your health, good for the environment and saves the planet. So you are heroes! Enjoy! Remember to thank God before and after you eat. God Loves you kids!” We love You, Supreme Master Ching Hai! Many thanks for this tasty suggestion. We’re looking forward to trying it! Thank you for watching. Lots of love for Being Veg and Going Green 2 Save the Planet for all of us humans and all co-inhabitants alike. Now the weather from around the world.

China builds futuristic sun-powered train terminal.
Well-known Chinese architectural firm MAD Architects is preparing to reveal its one-of-a-kind “Train Station in the Forest” this summer. The over 35-hectare eco-friendly urban center is situated amidst lush greenery in the city of Jiaxing in the eastern part of the nation. MAD carefully designed its project to merge with the natural landscape, locating the transportation railways and commercial facilities underground while offering a verdant park and plazas for people to enjoy on top. The use of glass walls maximizes the natural lighting requirements on the lower level, and a floating metal roof with solar panels generate power to this modern hub. Conveying their grand vision, the designers explained, “Architecture, sunlight, nature, and fresh air should work in harmony to be shared by all.” Excellent work, innovative MAD Architects. In the goodwill of the Providence, may such inspirational and eco-considerate designs be a trademark of future city developments worldwide.
Compassionate girl raises money to support children experiencing homelessness.
Eight-year-old Peyton Anderson from Wisconsin, United States learned about children living without a home from her great-uncle, who also had faced similar circumstances. After discovering that 2.5 million youngsters experience homelessness in the US yearly, Peyton founded the “Eye of a Child” charity. The initiative helps increase awareness of the situation and donates money, toys and more to various shelters. Peyton also sells “Every Child Deserves To Smile” t-shirts and self-made crayon hearts to fund her endeavor. Furthermore, she has gifted US$500 and a new toy for each kid, along with bags containing hygiene products, to Joy House, a women’s shelter. For her birthday this year, she wishes to raise US$1,000 and give toys to two more shelters. Peyton advised, “If you have a dream, please follow it, don’t give up because you probably can reach your goal and I believe in you.” We gratefully applaud your kindness, Peyton Anderson. May your loving donations bring bright smiles to many children, in God’s embrace. Supreme Master Ching Hai: “Happily present the Shining World Compassion Award to Peyton Anderson, plus US$10,000 in loving support of Eye of a Child’s caring efforts, with heartfelt gratitude and best wishes. May Heaven’s blessings shower upon you and those you help.”

Poland seeks to establish pensions for service animals.
The Polish Interior Ministry has proposed legislation to provide dogs and horses that have served the police, fire department and border guard with government-paid, lifetime living costs, including food and veterinary care, upon their retirement. Interior Minister, the Honorable Mariusz Kaminski, stated, “They are extraordinary animals. Thanks to them, many human lives have been saved and many dangerous criminals have been caught. Caring for them is our ethical duty.” Presently, over 1,200 dogs and 62 horses are working within Poland’s Interior Ministry. Once their retirement comes, their human partner would be given the choice to adopt them, or they could live at an animal care facility. Thank you, Poland, for your kind consideration. May all the selfless animals around the world, who bless humans in so many ways, be safe and loved, in Divine glory.

And now we have a heartline from Lena in Âu Lạc, also known as Vietnam:
Dear Master and Supreme Master Television team, I am 78 years old but still full of life. I am still waiting for the day to cross the ocean to go to Heaven, where there is only Light, Love and Wisdom! I am bowing to Master and thank You for giving me a life full of youthful energy, and I always love life! Since Master gave me initiation on June 18, 1999, I have always been healthy, and my love has extended to all beings. Whatever work I do, I work and sing at the same time. I participated in all the vegan events with a youthful attitude. Because of that, my family now has seven people who are vegan, and six already have become Your disciples. I also can compose poems spontaneously. I would like to send You a poem which I wrote during the Vegan Festival in November 2019:
“Today is Vegan Festival
Angels, Bodhisattvas descending on Earth
Sounds of music resonating from Heavens
God congratulates on a vegan Earth
The Vegan Fest has lasted three days
Park of Unity is filled with Love
Hà Nội becomes Heaven
Thanks to the blessings of the Buddhas in ten directions!”
From the north to the south of the nation, there were hundreds of vegan chefs and vegan booths with a myriad of vegan dishes, which attracted tens of thousands of visitors who came to enjoy. Its effect was felt immediately: after the festival, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism organized a Spring Festival 2020 with the theme Vegan Tết (Lunar New Year) in January 2020; it also gathered hundreds of vegan booths and attracted tens of thousands of visitors who came to enjoy the spring atmosphere and experience the vegan dishes. In the near future, the youth in Âu Lạc (Vietnam) and the world will be the Vegan generation! I sincerely pray that Master is always healthy and that Her wish of WORLD VEGAN, WORLD PEACE will soon be fulfilled. I wish the Supreme Master Television team good health and to produce more and more good programs! Lena from Âu Lạc (Vietnam)
Vibrant Lena, Thank you for the heartline that shares about your wonderful time at the Vegan Festival and your colorful poetry. You have such joy and positivity within and a true love for life! May Heavens shine on you, the encouraging Aulacese (Vietnamese) people, and may you and your co-citizens enjoy abundance and well-being. In Divine’s Grace, Supreme Master TV team
P.S. Master has a reply for you: “Marvelous Lena, how I wish I were there singing and dancing alongside you, the angels, and Bodhisattvas at the Vegan Festival. Keep dancing to the sound of Heaven! I send you my Love, and may cultured Âu Lạc (Vietnam) always know Buddha’s Light.”
