Even though I know she’s (Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s) gone to Heaven – because all her life she didn’t do anything wrong; she did her duty conscientiously, diligently and as well as she could. Also, of late, she has signed a new law to protect the animal-people, thus the animal-people now are counted by UK’s law as sentient beings. (Yes, that’s right.) Sentient beings deserve more respect, protection and kind treatment. Sentient beings are just like us. Human beings, we are also sentient beings – we have feelings, you see? We have feelings, we have emotions, we have thinking, we have smartness, intelligence and we have kindness toward each other and toward the animal-people. These are so-called sentient beings. (Yes, Master.) Sentient means “can feel and react.” Therefore, she earned merit to go to a high Heaven, and I’m very glad. But somehow, I feel like her death is too sudden, even though she’d been ill for some time now.
Let’s hope that the new king and the new prime minister will do something good for England as well as the world. Also, I hope the king will reign with compassion and consideration for all other sentient beings, and follow up with the bill that the late Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has signed into law, meaning that all the animal-people are sentient beings and will be treated as thus.
Host: On Friday, September 9, 2022, our Most Beloved Supreme Master Ching Hai, while still in Her meditation retreat for the world, called Supreme Master Television team members to ask about their welfare, as well as to express Her sadness following Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s passing. Master also read a story from “A Treasury of Jewish Folklore,” compiled by Nguyễn Ước, which introduced precious moral lessons. Furthermore, Master shared Her heartfelt wishes and greetings to all on the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
(Hallo, Master. How are You, Master?) Hallo. I’m OK. How are you? (We are good, Master.) You’re good? (Yes. Yes, Master.) Wonderful. I am still dragging my luggage. (Oh, wow.) Living in a suitcase. (Wow.) But I’m glad to talk to you. Nowadays, we are very lucky. Don’t you think? (Yes, Master. We are lucky.) Luckier than many kings in the past. (Yes, indeed.) Many kings in the past had to rely on the legs of the eunuchs in order to run around and spread his news. I just hold up a rectangular device, and then I can just talk to you. (Yes, Master. Much easier.) Just like that. (Yes, Master. Wonderful.) That’s wonderful, no? (Yes, it is. Indeed.) And I hear you very clearly.
Anything special happened with you guys? Or it’s all OK? (All OK for us, Master.) (All OK, thank You. It’s good to hear Master’s voice.) (Yes, after such a long time.) I’m glad to hear you also.
Yesterday, Her Majesty the Queen of England left the physical world, and although I knew that she went to a higher Heaven – it’s better than this world for her and she’s happy – but I was still very sad somehow. (Oh, right. Yes.) So, I thought today I would try to find a way to contact you guys and read you a story or something. You know, keep myself busy. When you’re sad, you should keep yourself busy, then you don’t feel too sad. (Thank You, Master.) Don’t sink into the sadness. (Yes. Understand, Master.)
(Why are You sad, Master?) Even though I know she’s gone to Heaven – because all her life she didn’t do anything wrong; she did her duty conscientiously, diligently and as well as she could. And even before she died, she was so weak already and still received the new Prime Minister of England. (Yes, Master. That’s right.) She really worked until the last days of her life. (Yes.) And for that, everybody should have much respect and appreciation for Her Majesty. I do, myself. I do. (Yes, Master.)
“Media Report from CBS Evening News – Sept. 8, 2022 Norah (f): A special remembrance of the 70-year reign of a world leader. Tonight, the most spectacular image – a double rainbow over Buckingham Palace that appeared just moments before the royal family announced her passing, as crowds gathered to say goodbye. The rainbow, to some, a sign – its long arc, a reminder of her long reign and her lasting legacy, not just as monarch, but as mother and grandmother, a wife of 73 years, a lover of her corgis and horses. Her greatest devotion was to the service of the Commonwealth. Even in her final days working to welcome the new prime minister, frail but smiling broadly. In her long life she no doubt saw her fair share of tumult and triumphs. But she will always be remembered for her strength on the world stage as iconic and stable as Buckingham Palace itself.”
Also, of late, she has signed a new law to protect the animal-people, thus the animal-people now are counted by UK’s law as sentient beings. (Yes, that’s right.) Sentient beings deserve more respect, protection and kind treatment. Sentient beings are just like us. Human beings, we are also sentient beings – we have feelings, you see? We have feelings, we have emotions, we have thinking, we have smartness, intelligence and we have kindness toward each other and toward the animal-people. These are so-called sentient beings. (Yes, Master.) Sentient means “can feel and react.” Therefore, she earned merit to go to a high Heaven, and I’m very glad.
But somehow, I feel like her death is too sudden, even though she’d been ill for some time now. Still, I feel it’s too sudden. Just like when Princess Diana died, it was too sudden. (Right, yes. Right.) I think everyone felt like she would live forever – like an eternal monarch. (Yes.) Because she reigned for a long, long time, that’s why. (Yes, Master.) And some people, when you know them for a long time, even though not personally, you feel like they will live forever. You can’t imagine they’d die. (Yes, Master.) (Yes, that’s right.) But this is “c’est la vie (that’s life).” Our world is like that. And I was so sad, because everything in this world is somehow… like, you will die and everything will not last. (Yes, Master. That’s right.) And I also feel sad, because how come good people die? (Yes, it’s true.) And so-called bad people are still alive and well – many. Some bad people are still alive and well, and some good people are just gone like that. (Yes. Yes, Master.) The Queen Mother before, she lived to over one hundred, yes.
So, Queen Elizabeth, I expected that she would live as long as that, but I think because her husband Prince Philip died, and that took some of her being away. (Yes, Master. Understand.) They’d been together all their lives, since young already, and suddenly he was gone like that. She probably felt that half of her was gone too. And she just probably got weaker and weaker in immunity – emotionally, psychologically as well as physically. Thus, she probably died sooner than she would have if Prince Philip was still alive. (Understand, Master. Yes.) That’s what I was thinking.
I was feeling sad, because this world, it seems like everything makes me sad. The people suffer everywhere with war, with famine, with pandemics, with poverty, with starvation – children, elderly and women alike, men also. Just succumb to the situation of the world. And the animal-people suffer no end like that. Every day when I see the clips of the suffering, I feel like my heart would not be able to bear it. (Yes.) So, this world, everything makes you sad. (Yes, Master. Indeed.) Very little happiness.
So, I’m glad to tell you that Queen Elizabeth has gone to a higher Heaven. And she’ll be peaceful and happy. (Oh, that’s good for her. Thank You, Master.) Mostly, because she did her duty wholeheartedly. And at the end, she signed the Animal Sentience Bill.
“Palace of Westminster – May 11, 2021 Her Majesty (f): Legislation will also be brought forward to ensure the United Kingdom has and promotes the highest standards of animal welfare.”
You see, that would earn her a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot of merits. (Oh, yes.) These two things drew her up to Heaven. And I’m so happy. Even though I’m sad that she’s gone somehow, it’s just our emotion. As humans, when somebody’s gone, you feel like there’s some empty space. (Yes, Master. That’s right.) Like when Princess Diana died, I felt so, so sad, so sad. I felt like the world became a little darker somehow at that time. But we have King Charles III now. Maybe he’s going to continue in the footsteps of his mother and England will still continue to be stable and well. (Yes, Master.)
“St. James’ Palace, London, United Kingdom – Sept. 10, 2022 King Charles (m): It is my most sorrowful duty to announce to you the death of my beloved Mother, The Queen. I know how deeply you, the entire nation – and I think I may say the whole world – sympathize with me in the irreparable loss we have all suffered. It is the greatest consolation to me to know of the sympathy expressed by so many. My mother gave an example of lifelong love and of selfless service. My mother’s reign was unequalled in its duration, its dedication and its devotion. Even as we grieve, we give thanks for this most faithful life. I’m deeply aware of this great inheritance and of the duties and heavy responsibilities of sovereignty which have now passed to me.”
I think the countries with monarchies somehow seem to be more stable and peaceful, and people are happier than countries with so-called democracy. (Yes, Master.) Or even worse, without democracy.
Talking about that, you know that England has a new Prime Minister. (Yes, Master, yes.) And Boris Johnson is out? (Yes.) Due to what? Remember? (Yes, some party…) What kind of party? (Well, they were celebrating his birthday.) Yeah. Poor thing. Poor man. (Yes, Master.) Now you know, I’m so clever, I don’t celebrate my birthday anymore, since decades. Luckily, otherwise I might be kicked out, who knows? The reason was because I felt the world has so much suffering, so much misery that I don’t care to celebrate my birthday at all. I don’t even remember. In this case, maybe I stay young for a long time, because I don’t remember how old I am. (Yes.)
Let’s hope that the new king and the new prime minister will do something good for England as well as the world. Also, I hope the king will reign with compassion and consideration for all other sentient beings, and follow up with the bill that the late Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has signed into law, meaning that all the animal-people are sentient beings and will be treated as thus.
We congratulate you, the new king, King Charles III, and the new Prime Minister of England as well, Madam Prime Minister Liz Truss. Please, pray to God that you will not be trapped. Not trapped in the inflated ego because the power tends to do that – to inflate people’s ego and then make them do things with arrogance and selfishness. Please pray so that you don’t fall into that trap, so that you can serve your country and help the world to be a better place. May Heaven be with you. Amen. (Amen.)
Let’s hope the new king and the new prime minister will truly, sincerely help to bring this world into a better place by being benevolent, kind and ruling according to God’s will. (Yes, Master.) I hope, we hope that they consider that their work is the work of a servant of God, and do more contemplation inward so that they will know what God’s Will is and do it accordingly.
“Buckingham Palace, London, United Kingdom – Sept. 9, 2022 King Charles (m): Queen Elizabeth's was a life well lived, a promise with destiny kept. And she is mourned most deeply in her passing. That promise of lifelong service, I renew to you all today.”
“St. James’ Palace, London, United Kingdom – Sept. 10, 2022 King Charles (m): I shall strive to follow the inspiring example I have been set in upholding constitutional government and to seek the peace, harmony and prosperity of the peoples of these islands and of the Commonwealth realms and territories throughout the world.”
Let’s hope they will not be making more trouble for England or the world by being selfish, inconsiderate and uncompassionate, just because of an easy win, easy life for them up to date. Meaning, not because of their easy win, or and easy life that they should be selfish, inconsiderate and uncompassionate, because that will not help our world. It will make England and the world become worse and worse.
May You help us, dear Lord. May You bless these two new leaders to go on the righteous way, as per Your Will and Grace. Amen. (Amen.)
Many people are sad because the Queen died, so maybe I just read you guys a story. And maybe they can also listen to dissipate their sadness a little. (Yes, thank You, Master.) (Thank You.) (Thank You, Master.) […]
It’s a very simple story, but you can think about it and feel like this world is like that. Everything we do has to be correct. (Yes, Master.) And we have to be content with what we have and not steal things from other people or from neighbors. Even a leader of one country should not go and make war and steal land from other countries, because there will be the retribution sooner or later. (Right. Yes, Master.) There will be. And even if you don’t see it in this lifetime, you will see it in hell, or the next life also, after hell. You will be born into such a situation, such a planet, such a world that you will be chased, you’ll be killed, you’ll be wounded, you’ll be maimed – just like the way you caused it to happen to other innocent people, either from your country or from the neighboring country. Because it is like that. If you plant an apple tree, you will have apples. If you plant an orange tree, you will have an orange. (Yes, Master.) (That’s right, Master.)
The law in this physical world is exact – very scientifically and practically exact. And if the sin is too big, then it will carry on until the next life, or first, through purification in hell, and then you will be reborn as a victim the way you caused other people, or other animal-people, other beings, to be the victims when you were alive – provoking neighbors to make war or making the war yourself. (Understand, Master. Exactly.)
You see, the law in the universe is that you are entitled to what you’re worth. So, whatever you are given is yours, and you should not be envious or greedy of other people’s property or whatever is not yours. (Yes, Master.) Because if you take them, it’s not legal. Just like if you steal things in the world, it’s also illegal and the law will catch you and will punish you accordingly. (Yes, that’s right.)
Similarly, in the whole universe, there are also laws. If you take what’s not given, then you’ll be punished. Also, according to the seriousness of it, then you will get the punishment sooner or later. Sometimes it is very soon, it’s just that you don’t realize it. Like, you will get sick or seriously ill – you will suffer bodily, mentally, emotionally, and psychologically, etc. But you will not know that it’s the result of your bad deeds, whatever bad deeds it could be. Stealing things is just one of those things – and making war or coercing people to give up their property for you because you are stronger, you’re bullying them, this is a very bad sin, and you might die sooner than your allotted years for your life. (Wow.)
So, everyone should consider this. Nothing is worth your effort to possess it when it’s not yours. Whatever is yours is yours, it will be given to you whether you want it or not. (Yes, that’s right.) Whatever is not yours, even if you want it, you should not take it, because the consequence is very grave for you. That’s why in all the religious orders and doctrines, the first five precepts include: “Thou shalt not steal.” (Yes, Master.)
Stealing has many ways. So, whatever clever way you scheme to take over somebody else’s rightly owned possessions, that is all stealing and it’s against the law of the universe, and sooner or later the consequence will be very, very bad for you. Not just in this lifetime… but it could be in this lifetime, like you could be ill, or you could be punished in different ways. If you are an ordinary person, then you would be caught and you would be put in jail. (Wow.) But if you are so-called above the law, because you’re strong and you’re a leader and you have some clever way to control the power and nobody dares do anything to you – still you will suffer the consequence – like, you will be ill very suddenly, or you’ll be gravely sick and nobody even can find out what the cause is, or even if they find out, they cannot cure you, or it will be prolonged, or you will die agonizingly or quickly before your time is up. (Wow.)
So, we should respect all the laws of the universe. And it’s very simply put in many of the main religions. Like in the five principles: thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not take intoxicants, thou shalt not tell lies, thou shalt not envy their neighbors’ wives, for example, or steal their neighbor’s wife or try in many ways to seduce the neighbor’s wife or husband, for example like that. (Yes, that’s right.) This is just simply put – it could be extended or explained in a much wider sense. Just simply, all the religions’ principles, that’s enough for everyone to keep clean and to keep safe. (Yes. Understand.)
Killing or eating animal-people, and thus people have to kill for you, is also stealing. This is a graver sin, because you steal their lives, so everyone should think about it, keep the five simple precepts so that if you are reborn again as a human you will be happy, safe, healthy, and have everything you need. (Yes.)
Similar to many stories in Buddhism. Buddha told many stories about karma and the consequence of bad deeds and good deeds. Some good deeds also will manifest many lifetimes even. (Yes.) Even just one kid who gave one of the Buddhas just some stone offering with heart – he will be also rewarded many lifetimes, with richness. (Yes, Master.) […]
OK, my love, I will stop now before the telephone stops by itself again. (I see. Understand.) […] Talk to you next time and say hallo to all of your friends, your colleagues, our team, meanwhile. Because I can’t talk to all of them. They’re in different places. By the way, I send my love to all of you. And may God protect you every day of your life, as you contribute to happiness, and peace in this world, as much as we can. Thank God and may God bless you. I love you. (Thank God. Thank You, Master. We love You, Master.)
You know, in a little while it will be Mid-Autumn Festival. So, even though we are not together physically, but I call you, and that also counts as a reunion. (Yes, Master.) And I wish all of you – my team, my Association members and all the world, a beautiful Mid-Autumn Moon Festival Day. (Thank You, Master.) Wishing everyone a peaceful and happy Mid-Autumn festival. Wishing everyone a peaceful and happy Mid-Autumn festival. And we thank God for everything that we still have in our lives. And we wish that soon the world will become peaceful and beautiful, like the Moon – all round, all perfect in the sky. Thank You, God. Bye. (Bye, Master.)
Host: Most Benevolent Master, thank You for once again granting us Your timeless Wisdom and loving Presence. May our world become more and more worthy of compassionate and noble leaders, courageously guided by God’s Will for the good of their own nations. We are deeply touched by Master’s continuous and gracious blessings for the planet and pray that all will soon embrace a fully vegan lifestyle, as peace and kindness are established among all sentient beings. Wishing Cherished Master a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, a joyful heart, and the best of health, in the caring Protection of all Magnificent Heavens.
