Global Unity: Together in Saving Lives, Part 1 of a Multi-part Series, Oct. 3, 2009, Hong Kong

According to many prophecies, in this challenging era, the Rainbow Warriors will appear. They are both guardians and pioneers of the Earth. By following an animal(-people)-free diet, protecting the environment, and using God-given Power derived from spiritual practice, they aspire to build a new era of peace, freedom, and harmony. Some of us remember our sacred mission as Rainbow Warriors, while some are yet to be awakened. We must be united, irrespective of race and religion, to bring the Divine Power to the world. This is the spirit of our climate change conference today: “Global Unity: Together in Saving Lives.” Now, let’s enjoy a performance entitled “The Rainbow Warriors,” brought to you by members of the Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association (all vegans).

How much do we know about our Mother Earth and the impact of global warming? Here is a short film unveiling the truth.

“Every day, up to 270 species are erased from existence. One-third of all animal species have been lost since the 1970s.” “It is our behavior that caused so much loss of our planetary species; scientists have proved it. So we all know that fishing, hunting, and polluting the environment are the causes of global warming and the decrease of animal(-people) on the planet. And many of the advices to stop [these actions] often have gone unheeded. And it’s a pity. We should protect the species because when we protect them, we protect the ecology. And the ecology links with our health – the health of the planet and the people.”

“According to the World Health Organization, the 2009 swine flu pandemic is the fastest ever spreading pandemic in history, with millions today likely to be infected. Canadian agencies have seen a 99% correlation between the number of pig(-people) factories and the total number of human swine flu cases per province.”

“We have a critical environmental crisis now happening with effects that we’re seeing around the world, and if we want to address the warming we’re seeing now, the best bang for our buck comes in addressing the other gases, mostly methane, and its number 1 source – animal agriculture (industry).”

“The migrating bird(-people) have to fly farther and farther to find a place to nest, and the polar bear(-people) swim longer and longer now because there is no more ice, until sometimes they drown of exhaustion. Or why the neighboring country has so many floods in recent years, so many disasters, etc., etc. Tell them how climate change is affecting real lives, real animal(-people), real people, and their own lives as well. But it’s also important to show the young people that there is still hope; we can still save the planet. It’s a chance to be true heroes, by being vegan and spreading the news of this solution.”
