Critical Mass of the Number of Vegetarians on Earth Reached 

Transcript of Supreme Master Television Fly‐In‐News of March 9, 2009: 

Juice fasters for peace welcome Supreme Master Ching Hai. On Saturday, March 7, Rabbi Gabriel
Cousens, M.D., and Rev. Dr. Michael Bernard Beckwith, both longtime vegans, hosted a week-long
green juice fast at Rev. Beckwith’s Agape International Spiritual Center in Culver City, California,
USA.

The fast was designed to assist people in being veg to halt climate change and improve their health, and
included discussion on how diet could save the planet.

Rev. Dr. Michael Beckwith – Agape International Spiritual Center, USA, Vegan (M):

We have invited my staff this week and many people at Agape to participate in this week long juice fast
to assist them in their transition from a meat-based diet to a plant-based diet, to cleanse their body, so
they can be more receptive to the spiritual intelligence, but also to be a participant in serving the
emerging paradigm on this planet. It’s so necessary at this time since we’re at this critical point in
human history.

VOICE:

As the event’s honored guest, Supreme Master Ching Hai was invited to speak with the juice fasting
participants to answer questions about the latest research on climate change and the links between
animal consumption and global warming. During this talk, Supreme Master Ching Hai revealed that
within the past few days, the total number of vegetarians on Earth had crossed an important threshold,
paving the way for a widespread adoption of the compassionate diet in time to save the Earth.

Supreme Master Ching Hai:

You see, we are in a very dangerous situation right now, but I’m glad to tell you we have
reached the critical mass. According to my inner knowledge the critical mass has been
reached, the critical mass of the numbers of vegetarian people. It’s just now we’re
waiting for the mind of humans to be more pliant, to be more in tune with the critical mass. The
critical mass that you say means if a certain numbers of people, like in one-minded group, like
being vegetarian, if a certain number is reached, then that number will influence the whole
planet in time and make everybody become vegetarian or vegan. Now, if this critical mass is
working, and I suspect it’s working, just a little bit slower than what we want, then maybe we
will have the mass of the planet going to have vegetarian diet, compassionate attitude quite
soon. I hope it’s in time so that we can save the planet before we reach the point of no return.
And so I also beg you, all of you heroes, the saints, the yogis there, please, do something to
help. Just pass out information, convince whoever you can, yes. And everybody really does
make a difference. I count on you.

VOICE:

The participants were energized and uplifted by the discussion, many saying afterward that they are
now committed to lead a vegan lifestyle.

Her humor, her kindness, her generosity of thought, her wisdom. I loved the way thatshe combined both
the statistics about what the outer world is about and the differences we can make in the physical world,
and then linked it deeply and thoroughly with the interior life. She combined both worlds and made us
one.

Juice Fast participant (F):

Thank you so much for all the things that you are doing in the world. We will all make a difference and
the children will be able to be happy and free and peaceful in a peaceful planet. Thank you.

Dr. Cousens plans to take the concept of Juice Fasting for Peace to help people in other cities easily
quit the meat habit.

Rabbi Gabriel Cousens, MD, Vegan – Founder of Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center (M):

Really appreciate Master Ching Hai on a number of levels. Her open-heartedness and her strong,
strong commitment to saving the planetand saving the humans on the planet and the animals on the
planet. That really, really, really, comes through very powerfully.

Master Television, we want you to be veg, go green and save the planet. You have the power to do so,
you have the power of your fork and your mind and your intention. Be Veg, and Go Green and Save the
