South African hero with a loving heart remembered.
The Most Reverend Archbishop Desmond Tutu, a Nobel Peace prize laureate who was instrumental in ending apartheid in South Africa, passed away on December 26, 2021, at the ripe age of 90. He was known as a strong champion of human rights and justice by non-violent means, and strived with great determination to bring freedom and peace to his fellow South Africans. The Archbishop worked to bring reconciliation and healing between peoples in his nation as well. He was also active worldwide in promoting HIV prevention, urging action on climate change, and aiding in conflict resolution. Condolence messages have poured in from government and religious leaders, organizations, celebrities and others from across the globe. We share the sorrow with the world, of his passing, wishing him peace in the eternal embrace of Divine Love.
New agency initiates humanitarian assistance package.
At the first meeting of the Afghanistan Inter-Ministerial Coordination Cell (AICC) in Pakistan, the Prime Minister, His Excellency Imran Khan, approved several measures to help the estimated 22 million Afghans facing acute food insecurity. The laureate of a Shining World Leadership Award for Good Governance pledged more than US$28 million in food, medical supplies and emergency winter shelters. The prime minister also reduced Pakistan’s tariffs and sales tax on selected imports to aid the Afghan economy. Additionally, his administration is willing to grant safe passage through the country for 50,000 metric tons of wheat that India is donating to Afghanistan. We offer our profound gratitude to Prime Minister Khan and the other officials in Pakistan and India who are trying to minimize human suffering. May the sensitive Afghan people be blessed with the supplies and resilience they need, in Allah’s compassionate Care.
Climate specialist urges significant action.
The Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, Patricia Espinosa, is “cautiously optimistic” about the outcome of COP26. In an interview with American television channel CNBC, she restated the UN’s emergency forecast. If global warming exceeds 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, worldwide weather conditions could worsen irreversibly and approach the limits of what agriculture and health can withstand. But the climate chief’s purpose is to inspire redoubled efforts for accelerated progress. She said, “Not to make people more pessimistic, but I hope, on the contrary, to make people more energetic in really taking seriously the very difficult decisions that need to be made.” Our grateful appreciation, Patricia Espinosa, for your wise leadership. May all planetary citizens stop eating meat for a quick and dramatic reduction in methane emissions, in God’s all-embracing Mercy. “For I tell you truly, live only by the fire of life, and prepare not your foods with the fire of death, which kills your foods, your bodies and your souls also.” ~ The Essene Book of Peace (Essenes)
Up next, educational children’s TV series adds a Korean character. Let’s take a moment to thank the professional musicians who play tenor saxophone, a resonant brass instrument that has figured prominently in big bands and jazz combos. Please stay tuned to Supreme Master Television for more brightening news.
Hallo, beautiful friends! I’m Kaia, a vegan mom from the Matschie’s Tree-Kangaroo kingdom. One of the keys to living a peaceful life is to keep a clear conscience. That’s why I became a vegan, and I’m so glad I did! Today, I have a tip for fixing shirt collars that tend to curl. Take the shirt out of the dryer while it’s still damp, put it on a hanger, fasten the top button and allow it to air dry. Set up your ironing board, lay the shirt on top with the inside facing up and spread out the collar. Check the shirt’s label for the recommended ironing temperature. Give the whole collar a quick spray of starch and iron it flat. Turn the shirt over and repeat the procedure, ironing until the starch is dry. Now, just fold the collar the way it will be when someone wears the shirt, and you’re done! Thank you for tuning in. And love you for Being Veg and Going Green 2 Save the Planet for all of us humans and all co-inhabitants alike. Now, the weather around our beautiful globe.
Special TV program focuses on diversity.
Sesame Workshop, based in New York, USA, is an educational nonprofit organization whose mission is to help young children reach their full potential. It does this primarily through television, and its flagship show, “Sesame Street,” has aired continually since 1969. As part of an effort to foster racial justice, the production company has created an episode that celebrates cultural variety. “See Us Coming Together” introduces a new puppet character with an Asian background to Sesame Street. Ji-Young is a seven-year-old Korean American girl who loves playing her electric guitar. She participates in “Neighbor Day” with her new friends, who all share something unique about themselves. The video is available on social media and via several streaming platforms. Three cheers, Sesame Workshop, for your tireless service to preschoolers. May people of all nationalities feel happy and encouraged to be themselves, in Celestial blessings.
Novel pharmaceutical manufacturing process boosts efficiency.
Researchers at the University of Bath in the United Kingdom have come up with an improved method for synthesizing the nitrogen-containing chemicals commonly used in medicinal drugs. Usually, several steps are required, each of which consumes energy and produces toxic waste. The British chemists found that they could accelerate the reaction and produce primary amines in a single step by including a catalyst activated with blue LED light. The scientists are pleased to have discovered this advanced technique and are hopeful it will hasten the development of new remedies. Congratulations, university researchers, on making strides toward sustainability! May your actions that improve the quality of life on Earth reap rich rewards, in Heavenly delight.
Property owners offer plots for compact dwellings.
In Seattle, Washington, USA, a career architect became acquainted with individuals who were living outdoors and was inspired to do something about their situation. Rex Hohlbein started an organization called Facing Homelessness, which runs the Just Say Hello and Window of Kindness programs. But its most substantial outreach is the BLOCK Project — building fully equipped tiny houses in people’s backyards. Community residents who are willing to be hosts are matched with someone who lacks shelter. Staff at the nonprofit carefully consider the backgrounds, personalities, and hobbies of all participants to induce the formation of long-lasting friendships. Our heartfelt accolades, Rex Hohlbein and Facing Homelessness, for walking the way of love and supporting our less fortunate neighbors. May your strategy be emulated far and wide, in the benevolence of the Divine. Vegan: want 2 teach children the right choice.
Coming up, Germany’s new government endorses plant-based food. We will take a few moments to slow down, review the past 12 months, and contemplate what we would like to change and the goals we want to pursue in the new year. More favorable news when we return! Please stay with us here on Supreme Master Television. Welcome back to Noteworthy News – Encouraging News for a Long-lived World.
Policy agreement includes a commitment to meat substitutes.
Germany’s new government is an alliance between the Social Democratic Party, the Greens, and the Free Democrats. The three camps jointly authored a document outlining their objectives for the next four years. The chapter on nutrition states: “We will strengthen plant-based alternatives and advocate for the approval of innovations such as alternative protein sources and meat substitute products in the EU.” The leaders’ planet-friendly ambitions beyond 2025 include phasing out coal, having a minimum of 15 million electric cars on German roads, and getting 80% of the country’s electricity from renewable sources — all by 2030. Germany is a Shining World Caring Leadership Award and Shining World Leadership Awards for Compassion and Wise Governance laureate. Exemplary teamwork, German politicians, and kudos for making sustainability one of your priorities. We pray that you will soon take the next step and ban the consumption of animal-people, thus expediting the arrival of World Vegan, in Heaven’s joy.
Emerging canopy reunites sanctuary residents.
Hoolock gibbon-folk live in trees and rarely come down to the ground. Many years ago, the British colonial government built a railway line through their reserved habitat in Assam, India, dividing the population. Conservationists eventually rallied the forest department and people in the vicinity to plant 3,000 saplings on both sides of the tracks. By 2019, some trees had matured enough for the first gibbon-adventurer to leap over the railroad. At first, monitors observed only individuals making the dangerous jump, but in 2021 an entire family traveled across the green skybridge. Other species have learned the trick, including capped langur-merchants, rhesus macaque-diplomats and squirrel-gardeners. As the tree crowns become thicker, more animal-people will overcome the barrier that once restricted their freedom. A big round of applause for the compassionate humans and the liberated gibbon-acrobats! May every earthling enjoy a happy and fulfilling life, in Cosmic radiance.
The joke of the day is on deck, and we’re ready to be amused. How about you? Here comes “The Guessing Game.”
Two young men sipped vegan smoothies at a juice bar while talking about getting engaged.
“What if I ask her – and she says yes – but then it takes 12 months to finalize the wedding plans. Who do you think benefits most from the long delay?”
“You?”
“Nah.”
“Then your fiancée.”
“Nope. The phone company!”
?!
And now we have a heartline from Trúc Hương in Âu Lạc, also known as Vietnam:
Dear Master and Supreme Master Television team, I thank Master for always taking care and arranging everything in my life, as well as my spiritual practice. When I lost my job, Master gave me another which is even better than the previous one, as a gift on my birthday. It’s not possible to mention the countless things that You have done for me. It seems like almost all my dreams since my childhood have come true. But I think the Great Enlightenment and Great Wisdom are the biggest dreams of my life. I will try my best to practice and cultivate myself to fully realize God and my True Self. Then I think it will be the happiest day of my life. I thank Master for Your profound lectures, because they are the greatest encouragement for me. I love the poetry that You recited. Your reciting voice was so beautiful. It’s like a fresh rain after a hot summer day. I hope we can hear more poems from Your beautiful voice. We wish You to be always young, beautiful, in good health, and safe physically and spiritually. I love You and the Supreme Master Television team. I hope I can join the team one day. Trúc Hương from Âu Lạc (Vietnam)
