In today’s news, numerous countries extend aid to Türkiye in aftermath of deadly February 2023 earthquakes, study warns that global full-scale nuclear war would cause 5 billion deaths from starvation, Taiwanese (Formosan) artificial intelligence experts develop innovative early dementia detection app, new report reveals US cities most vulnerable to climate change, Indian animal-people rights documentary exposing cruelty of dairy industry wins multiple film awards, Cambridge University students in United Kingdom vote to make campus cafeteria fully vegan, and kind neighbors in Seattle, Washington, United States, help firemen save 115 dog-people from fire.
I have a safety tip for you today. Thieves are particularly attracted to unoccupied homes; therefore, take these precautions to make it appear your house is lived in if you are away for a period of time. Park one car in your driveway or have one of your neighbors periodically keep their car there. Leave your drapes or curtains partially open and set timers on your lights. Consider putting in motion-sensor lights outdoors. Have someone pick up your mail at a minimum every 24 to 72 hours and cancel your newspaper delivery during the time you’re away. If you will be gone for a long period, have someone cut your lawn or shovel snow off your driveway, depending on the time of the year. Hopefully, your precious home will stay safe by you taking these steps.
The joke of the day has just been rolled out, so let’s check it out. It’s called “Dad's Selfie.”
Dad rarely dresses up, so when he walked out the front door decked out in a suit and tie, he wanted to commemorate the moment. Handing me a camera, he asked:
“Mind taking a selfie of me?”
?!
And now we have a heartline from José in Brazil:
Greetings to You, Beloved Supreme Master Ching Hai, After I have found Your broadcasts, I finally turned away from eating animal-people to fully embrace vegan. The ghosts of my dead family members have finally stopped haunting me after repenting and praying for World Vegan. I am finally at peace with the loss of my wife and child and I found a new perspective on life through World Vegan and respecting animal-people.
I previously was a police officer in New York and had a stunning family. Unfortunately, we were an animal-people meat eating, atheist family and during the pandemic, my wife and my daughter got COVID-19. After a long day at work, I came home and found out that a burglar burgled our house. My wife and child were in shock and due to COVID-19 weakening them, they had to be hospitalized after this traumatic event. This event was a big shock to my family. Sadly, my wife and child are no longer with us. They died of COVID-19.
I could not get over these feelings of grief and anger for years, but after a period of long introspection in the South Americas, turning vegan and respecting animal-people, and finding God through Supreme Master, I finally realized that my previous challenges in life were brought on by not treating animal-people fairly, my painkiller and alcohol addiction, and by abusing an anabolic steroid named Valkyrie. Now, finally after embracing World Vegan, I have a new perspective. I shaved my head as a symbol for a new beginning and I meditate daily.
I wanted to reach out to You and express my gratitude for the guidance and wisdom You have provided me. Your teachings have helped me to find peace and understanding in the midst of great pain and loss. I am forever grateful for Your teachings and for the way that they have changed my life for the better. I hope to continue to learn from You and to grow in my understanding of World Vegan and the importance of respecting animal-people. Thank You again for Your guidance and wisdom. Sincerely, José from Brazil
Virtuous José, Our heartfelt condolences on the loss of your wife and daughter. It is good to know that you have transformed your life for the better and found peace in Master’s teachings.
Master has a note for you: “Courageous José, I am deeply sorry for the loss of your beloveds. I hope it brings comfort to know that sincere prayers do help in all situations. Your choice of a Divine path and the pure vegan lifestyle is noble, and touches my heart and this will definitely help in uplifting those that you so loved, in life or hereafter. Prayers also from my heart for them. They will be uplifted to a higher dimension. Be happy, good and humble soul! I send my love to you, now and always. May you and the heartfelt Brazilian people be ever-secure in God’s merciful Care.”
