Supreme Master Ching Hai on the Environment: We Have to Save the Planet at All Costs, Part 2 of 2, Aug. 8, 2009

The only reason our planet is still hanging in there is because of some virtuous people. The people who practice virtues, the footsteps of the way of loving kindness, of benevolence, compassion: that’s the only footstep we should follow. It’s not how we die; it’s how we live. It’s not when we die, it’s up to the moment of death, that we’ve been a useful tool of God, for others. That is the true meaning of living a good life. So it’s not because we care that we die or not die that we do all this, just that it’s just the proper thing to do, to remind each other that we have to be noble, benevolent, and good.
