In today’s news, Iranian charity sends food supplies to Afghanistan, China surprised by widespread COVID outbreak, a third of Slovenia’s electricity is now green, Iraq’s capital comes to life with uplifting murals, retiree earns a doctorate in physics at 89, new coalition in UK promotes plant-based eating, and search dog-rescuers in United States find missing person.
Compassionate neighbor responds to a crisis.
Surveys conducted by the World Food Programme reveal that only about 5% of Afghan families have enough to eat each day. Deficiencies that used to be limited to rural areas are now affecting city dwellers as well. The shortages are primarily due to Afghanistan experiencing its second drought in three years. The Iranian Red Crescent Society, a Shining World Compassion Award recipient, has stepped up to the plate and sent 50 tons of nutritional supplies to the Afghan Red Crescent Society in Kabul. The kindred organizations intend to continue their relief work to forestall acute food insecurity during the typically lean winter months. Our sincere gratitude, Iranian and Afghan Red Crescent Societies, for your courageous actions to mitigate the hunger of millions of distressed citizens. We pray that ancient Afghanistan will turn the corner and see a much brighter future on the horizon, in the overflowing Love of Allah.
Flare-up defies strict pandemic policies.
A coronavirus outbreak that began in mid-October 2021 quickly spread to more than half of China. Although the total number of symptomatic cases is small compared to many Western countries, the National Health Commission is perplexed and concerned. Despite its “zero-COVID” program that mandates rigid border controls and lengthy quarantines for international visitors, the sudden surge started among vaccinated retirees from Shanghai. Authorities had no choice but to reimpose lockdowns, mass testing, domestic travel bans, and contact tracing. Even with these measures and 2.3 billion doses of Chinese vaccines, the devious Delta variant is still finding ways to re-emerge and proliferate. Our hearts are saddened by this ongoing threat to your population’s well-being, China. May your government embrace the ultimate solution and make veganism the national diet, in the wisdom of the Providence. Vegan: tested positive 4 sympathetic caring.
Up next, a third of Slovenia’s electricity is now green. Let’s take a moment to thank the angiographers who use a special dye and X-rays to create images that show how blood is flowing through the arteries in your heart. Please stay tuned to Supreme Master Television for more brightening news.
Hallo, adventurous viewers! I’m Barney, a vegan gentleman from the Blue-footed Booby kingdom. I am vegan for the same reasons that I practice meditation – because it opens my heart and helps me feel connected with the universe. If you focus on plant-based eating, your consciousness will expand too! Here’s a tip for when you need to loosen a bolt, but your wrench isn’t adjustable, and it’s a little too big. Try filling in the extra space with a steel washer or two. Coins may also work but proceed with caution because they are made of softer metal that can deform. A real handyman always uses the right tool for the job, but once in a while, you may be able to save some time using this trick. Thank you for your attention and love you a lot for Being Veg and Going Green 2 Save the Planet for all of us humans and all co-inhabitants alike. Now, the worldwide weather.
Hydro leads the renewable energy mix.
The Statistical Office of the Republic of Slovenia reported that sustainable sources generated 5,600 gigawatt-hours of electricity in 2020. This quantity represented approximately a third of the country’s power and was mainly hydroelectricity. Although solar and wind accounted for only 7% of renewables, private photovoltaic installations in Slovenia almost doubled last year from 4,664 to 8,614. Amended regulations and reduced equipment costs have fueled the increase from only 131 registered self-consumption units in 2016. At the same time, consumers are using power more mindfully, so that the nation consumed 9% less compared to 2019. Kudos to Slovenia for pursuing wise green energy strategies! May you also see fit to promote plant-based diets that will enhance your citizens’ health and longevity, in Heavenly delight.
Volunteer artists collaborate to beautify rundown buildings.
Four years ago, a troop of aspiring Iraqi painters decided to decorate an old school wall in Baghdad. Their idea was to hide some of the scars of war with colorful images from their city’s folklore. Encouraged by the appreciation and donations they received, the team dubbed itself the Butterfly Effect and has since created more than 1,500 murals on houses, in alleys, and other neglected places. Almost like magic, each neighborhood’s mood improves as soon as the crew finishes upgrading an unsightly facade. Children are thrilled to join in, and their innocent creativity helps bring ruined streets back to life. Baghdad officials have praised the initiative, and the group looks forward to transforming other cities. Our delighted applause, all Butterfly Effect participants, for your selfless and uplifting work. May historic Iraq be blessed with abundant peace and joy, in Allah’s limitless Kindness.
Man fulfills an unforgotten dream.
As a youngster in Austria, Dr. Manfred Steiner was keenly interested in physics but wound up studying medicine for the sake of a more stable career. He emigrated to the US, specialized in blood and blood disorders, taught hematology at Brown University in Rhode Island, and helped start a research program at the University of North Carolina. After retiring in 2000, the doctor returned to Rhode Island and enrolled in some physics classes at Brown, just for fun. But within seven years, he had enough credits to enroll in the PhD program. Slowly but steadily, he prepared his dissertation and successfully defended it in September 2021 – at 89. He earned the doctorate he always wanted and now advises younger seniors, “If you have a dream, follow it.” Congratulations, Dr. Steiner, on your extraordinary achievement! We pray for your continued energy and enthusiasm, in Divine benevolence. No 2 vegan: Whoever loves meat will b dragged into hell n roasted like that piece of meat that he eats.
Coming up, new coalition in UK promotes plant-based eating. We will take a moment to feel gratitude for all the helpers – grocery store employees, truck drivers, first responders, health care workers and more – who are making sacrifices for our benefit. More outstanding news when we return! Please stay with us here on Supreme Master Television. Welcome back to Noteworthy News – Engaging News for a Joy-filled World.
Trade association forms to campaign for vegan policies.
The newly launched Plant-Based Food Alliance wants to help put the United Kingdom at the forefront of the global transition to sustainable eating. Founding members include Alpro, Oatly, ProVeg UK, Upfield, and The Vegan Society. This union of manufacturers, retailers, nutritionists, nongovernmental and consumer organizations will prioritize raising awareness of the benefits of plant-based nutrition. It will also lobby for packaging labels that show food products’ environmental impact, allowing consumers to make more informed choices. Another item on the agenda is to develop guidelines for partnering with the government to switch the focus of farming from animal-people livestock raising to growing organic grains, fruits and vegetables. We are inspired by your laudable goals, Plant-Based Food Alliance! May the steps you take today lay the groundwork for national vegan food security in the future, in Cosmic abundance.
People and their canine-person companions work together to save lives.
ChesCo Search Dogs, in Pennsylvania, USA, is a community service group of volunteers who train their animal-people friends for search and rescue. By detecting scents in the air, the furry detectives usually find what they are looking for pretty fast. When a man had a medical emergency in West Chester University’s Gordon Natural Area and was reported missing, ChesCo Search dispatched a canine-people team that found the subject in two hours. A young black Labrador-gentleman named Gauge, who is exceptionally proficient at picking up air scents, was one of the first responders. Our loving gratefulness, ChesCo Search Dogs – to both the human trainers and the animal-people heroes. We are heartened to know that in times of accident and emergency, we can depend on such noble beings, in Heaven’s constant care.
Here’s a way to put a smile on your face with an original joke from our Beloved Supreme Master Ching Hai called “Roof Staircase.”
“Dad, can you build a staircase to the roof?”
“Why do you want to go up there?”
“Not I, but the dog-person does.”
“Wow! You can talk with the dog-person?”
“You heard him, he often said ‘roof ... roof, roof!’”
And now we have a heartline from Nandipha in the Southern Cape, South Africa:
Dear Supreme Master Ching Hai, I have been a Quan Yin Practitioner since 2008. I have been an Electrophysiological Scientific Consciousness Interface Operations Biofeedback Practitioner since 2008. I began practicing Energy Medicine shortly after I was initiated. I have been meditating whilst watching Supreme Master TV and many of Your lectures on YouTube with every spare moment at my disposal as a means to participate in group meditation during these challenges we find ourselves in as a planetary consciousness. I have heard during Your lectures that You require medical attention and medicine at times as You face Your own health challenges in taking on the karma of the planet and Your disciples. Although I am respectfully aware that You are the Almighty Divine Power within this planet and the Heavens beyond, I, as Your humble disciple, would like to volunteer my personal services to Yourself to assist Your physical health with the technological energetic medicine skills I have acquired due to Master’s Grace and Blessings thereof within my life’s journey. I have also done a variety of live-in Care and Compassion work in the United Kingdom in 1999-2003, whereby I took care of the elderly, special needs and disabled people. Currently, I am temporarily taking care of an elderly lady with special needs over the weekends and occasionally do house and pet-sitting. I have dedicated myself to the Quan Yin Method, to be of service in the ascension of the planet, and in assisting fellow beings, especially the animal-people. I would sincerely like to personally assist Master. Wishing You Love, Peace and Good Health. Kind Regards, Nandipha from the Southern Cape, South Africa
Well-minded Nandipha, Thank you for reminding us to give to others in need.
Master has this loving reply for you: “Thoughtful Nandipha, I am so appreciative of the heartfelt good wishes from yourself and your many brothers and sisters for my best health and well-being. However, more people would benefit if you are available for them, while I am just one person; it would be a waste of your valuable time and service. I know some good doctors and always seek their help whenever needed. Do not worry for me. Bless your good heart for caring. While many talents and skills are acquired on our journeys, the most beneficial for ourselves, on all levels, is following the Word of God. Meditate on the Heavenly Light and Sound, see the Divine in all things, and always remember to repeat the Five Holy Names for more protection. Much Love, and may the mighty Godses watch over and bring joy to you and spectacular South Africa.”
