So many kinds of vegetarians, you must understand. There is a saying in Au Lac. They say that the vegetarian in the heart is the best. Why do they say that? It is because our actions, speech and thoughts must be together, uniform; we don't just eat vegetarian only. That's only action wise. Then when we talk, we talk like having scissors or a stone and cutting everywhere; that is not vegetarian talk.

　If we say we eat vegetarian, but our thoughts are very violent and sharp, and do not care about other people's feelings and always being selfish, always trying to get everything for ourselves first, at any cost, at the cost of other people's convenience or feelings, then it's no good. No good for us, no good for the family; and then at large, it's no good for the nation and for the world.

　That's why the Chinese people say, "First we have to cultivate our own self, the big Self, the Wisdom, then we can take care of the family, then we can take care of the nation, and then we can pacify the whole planet." That is quite true.

　However, most people, they just want to pacify the planet. You know, leap frog, quick, quick! Otherwise, "Oh, take care of ourselves? That I know already. Take care of my family? Oh, my wife can do it. Take care of the nation? Oh, well President Clinton does it. I take care of the whole world the best." That's what they think. It would be better we begin from ourselves.
