Supreme Master Ching Hai has found a close ally in the Archbishop of Tuguegarao, His Excellency Diosdado A. Talamayan, D.D., of the Philippines regarding Her worldwide efforts to encourage adopting a plant-based diet as a means to stop global warming. Having recently received Supreme Master’s SOS flyers and DVDs on the urgent matter of climate change from our Association members in the Philippines, the Archbishop was deeply touched by Master’s concern for the future of humanity.

On February 26, in response to all the informative materials he had received, Arcbhishop Talamayan wrote a letter of appreciation. The following is an excerpt from his letter addressed to our Association’s Manila Center in the Philippines:

“Thank you very much for your letter and the five DVDs about global warming and climate change, SOS Be Veg and the Arctic Ice Melt-Down Crisis. I am sure with this film viewing and with the pamphlet people would be able to understand the importance why the sudden change of climate and what global warming is all about. We also are reminded what are the causes, effects and its prevention. What impressed me is the talk of Supreme Master Ching Hai – December 25, 2007 Paris Seminar on how to save the Earth in order that people can live and stay healthy. But how can we do this if we do not change our lifestyle, because if we do not change our lifestyle it may be too late for us. I agree with what the Supreme Master said, change should start from us, from ourselves.”
