“The present society is not a golden land, but a hell. It is not a civilization. After reaching the pinnacle of barbarism, it is a land of beasts killing and eating all living things without a second thought. IF LEFT AS IT IS, THIS WORLD WILL HAVE TO BE RUINED AND DESTROYED FOR THE SAKE OF MEAT-EATING.”
In our previous episode, Seishi Onisaburo Deguchi of Japan predicted that the True Savior would appear to rebuild the world which has fallen into chaos. According to the prophet, the Savior’s first priority to reform human society would be to abolish the eating of meat.
“It must be the first priority of social reform to foremost, abolish meat-eating, purify the soul, and open the way to contact God.”
Since the beginning of Her Mission, Supreme Master Ching Hai has been teaching the same truth till the present day with ever-increasing urgency – that we must be vegan in order to purify ourselves. Indeed, a vegan lifestyle is a first step for anyone who wishes to contact God and/or improve the desperate state of our world.
“What kind of life is that that we have to drink blood and eat flesh to preserve this ephemeral body? It sounds like a very barbaric life. We don’t want to be barbaric beings, we want to be civilized, dignified gentlemen and ladies.”
“If we want to go higher and to know the most powerful level of consciousness, we want to taste the powerful energy of the universe, then we must be prepared, we must be pure, we must be one with this purity in order to survive. Because this power contains nothing but purity, positivity, love, compassion. And if we have anything, any trace of negativity of the opposite direction, anything that doesn’t mix with this, and anything that cannot become one with this purity and love and compassion, then it has to be eliminated.
And that’s why we would have trouble. So now, we know why we must be loving, why we must be compassionate, why we must be pure. Because we want to attain this absolute Power. In the beginning, we may switch to the vegan diet and we may try to keep the precepts with effort because teacher says so, because it’s good for us and we try to learn the loving way.
But later on, it will become automatic as we climb higher into the spiritual hierarchy. And then everything will come just as naturally as breathing and blinking eyes.”
“Unless the fundamental problem of food is solved, we cannot hope for world peace nor realize salvation of the world nor security for people.”
“Look at the mass killing that we do every day in order to keep this body of 100 years. How many lives have to be sacrificed – all the fish, all the shrimps, all the chickens, all the pigs? How do you think all this energy will be dissolved without war, without suffering, without physical ailments? Everything we do is recorded in the ether, in the air. Nothing will be lost. They will be diluted, only with a different energy. They will be equalized only by different actions, not lost – cannot be lost.”
On one hand, we were amazed to learn that Seishi Onisaburo Deguchi saw what Master has been warning us about for decades: that the world’s diet must change if the fate of our world is to change. On the other hand, we ought not to be surprised when considering the overwhelming scientific evidence that meat-eating has been the number one cause of violence towards humankind and all life on our planet till today.
Dr. Tuttle: “(There had never been war on planet Earth until we started owning animals. And so, it was a ‘get rich quick’ scheme for the wealthy elite. They would see another king who had a lot of capital, a lot of sheep, and goats, and cows, and they would go and try to steal those, take them, and that would cause a war. So the oldest word for war on Earth is ‘gavya,’ the ancient Sanskrit word. Gavya literally means ‘the desire for more cows.’ That’s the first word for war.)”
Howard Lyman (m): “(The fact of it is that we could feed every human being on the planet today an adequate diet if we did no more than take the feed that we are feeding the animals and actually turn it into food for humans.)”
Bod Ward(m): “(We have a very stark choice. We either change our food system to manage all the coming challenges, or we suffer the consequences, which will be periods of great food insecurity.)”
Narrator(m): “(Every second, another acre of the world’s rainforests are cleared. And as our most diverse biospheres disappear, every day, another 110 animal and insect species go extinct along with it. Taking their place, livestock now covers 45% of the total land on our planet, and uses one-third of our fresh water supply.)”
Anchor(m): “(So, here’s the low-down (facts) from the UN’s International Panel on Climate Change. The way humans produce food now, a climate disaster, destroying the land.)”
Marco(m): “(At the moment, about three-quarters of the greenhouse gas emissions of the food system are due to animal products.)”
Etc…
As a sincere vegetarian, Seishi Onisaburo Deguchi spoke the very truth about eating animals and how it affects humans’ health ‒ physically, morally, and spiritually.
“Originally, people in the world think that meat and fish have a lot of nutrients, but vegetables have the highest real nutritional value.”
“Those who eat meat have no true mercy.”
“Those who slaughter pigs, sheep, cows, and chickens, and eat them, when viewed from the animal world, should be thought to be demons.”
“When approaching God, it is not good to eat meat. It interferes with spiritual sensation.”
Seishi Onisaburo Deguchi emphasized that meat-eating caused the degeneration of humanity.
“The human nature, taking only meat-eating as nourishment and eliminating grains and vegetables inherent in the Kingdom of God, becomes cruel day by day. And eventually, it makes us lose love for living creatures in general, and become selfish. Moreover, our beastly lust becomes more and more vigorous, and will lead us to become a man of immorality and infidelity. Tigers, wolves and lions are ferocious because they always feed on animals. The likes of cows, horses and elephants, they have huge bodies but have an extremely warm and meek nature. It is because they never eat animals but eat grass or grains.”
“In the vegan diet, it contains most of the principles of goodness in life, I tell you. It contains all the five precepts in there.
The first precept: thou shall not kill; if we are vegan, we don’t even kill indirectly.
The second is: thou shall not tell lies, tell the truth. If you are vegan, you are true to yourself and true to the law of the universe, like we don’t take other life to sustain our life.
The third: you shall not steal. By being a vegan, we also keep that precept as well automatically. Because we don’t steal another life, that is the worst thing to steal. Not only we steal the animal’s life, we steal the lives of our brothers and sisters around the world, who could not afford food because the food has been all fed to the animals.
And another precept, is committing adultery. If you eat meat, maybe you also became less of the human quality, and more of some of the animals’ instinct, and then it’s difficult for you to even control your sexual appetite.
It’s not just the meat. It’s not just the animals instinct, it is the hormones, the antibiotic and all kinds of harmful substances that went into the meat, before they’re killed. And after they’re killed even, all the preservatives and all the deadly bacteria that inhabits in that piece of meat. And all kinds of things that drive your hormones even more crazy. And it’s easier for you to be un-loyal to your partner. Or to commit even some sexual offense.
And the last one is intoxicants. Even meat makes you addictive, it is another kind of drug. They also put all kinds of things in there, make you addictive as well. Because people eat meat, they also cannot digest very well. So they need wine, alcohol to get more appetite and to digest easily. And then wine, alcohol, also intoxicants, and then lead them into another kind of unlawful act like drunken driving, or brawling with other people in the bar and on the street, and degrading their dignity, or fighting, quarrelling with family members, beating wife and kids.
So meat can even lead people into other kinds of intoxicants. Doubling its effect and drive the man or the woman crazy, and make them do a lot of things that they will regret for the rest of their life. So if you just keep a vegan diet, you keep all the precepts.
The only cure is the vegan diet, the only secret. Then we save the whole world, and we will live in Heaven hereafter.”
“Therefore, the mentality of the meat-eating man is ruthless, and he doesn’t care at all whether people in the world are dead, collapsed, or frozen or not. They only consider their conveniences, and become unconcerned about anything except their greed for food, and cannot discern the reason of Heaven, humanity, and good cause of loyalty and faithfulness. As the number of such men increases day by day, some become dissatisfied in the world on the one hand, and finally various troublesome problems arise at a time.”
What will happen to our world if humans continue to eat meat? As a true friend of humanity, Seishi Onisaburo Deguchi told us the truth in plain words, just as Supreme Master Ching Hai is doing today.
“The present society is not a golden land, but a hell. It is not a civilization. After reaching the pinnacle of barbarism, it is a land of beasts killing and eating all living things without a second thought. IF LEFT AS IT IS, THIS WORLD WILL HAVE TO BE RUINED AND DESTROYED FOR THE SAKE OF MEAT-EATING.”
“The meat diet affects the whole world, affects the whole planet. It’s killing our lives, it’s killing the planet and it’s leading the planet into total destruction if we don’t stop.”
“All the Godses in Heavens are helping really frantically. Otherwise, the planet would be gone. But the humans, they’re still clinging to their piece of meat, which they can put down anytime. For their taste, they don’t mind if the planet goes down! If their children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren live in an inferno. They don’t mind if the pandemic is going on. They don’t mind if the world is going down under. For that piece of meat in their mouth, they don’t mind! They don’t care! They pretend they don’t understand. They pretend they don’t know.
And many places are so damaged, and ongoing all kinds of disasters. Typhoon and floods and… we have never had so many disasters like this before. I don’t think so. And they still cling to that blood-dripping, bleeding piece of meat in their mouth and call that food. Don’t even care if anybody else is dying around them or children suffer. And poverty and everything everywhere. So don’t ask me how long it takes or will it be. I’m asking the same question like you are."
