In Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association news from the United States…
On June 20, 2026, our Association members from Northern California joined the International Yoga Day Fair at Anubhuti Meditation and Retreat Center in Novato, California. The joyful event featured yoga, meditation, Tai Chi, wellness talks, and uplifting activities for people of all ages. At our Association’s booth, Supreme Master Television streamed live, and guests received gift bags with Supreme Master Ching Hai’s book “Love Is The Only Solution” and vegan recipe books.
One of our Association members also took the stage, introducing Supreme Master Ching Hai (vegan), Quan Yin meditation, and the vegan way of life in true harmony with ahimsa, the timeless principle of nonviolence toward all beings. Attendees shared how yoga, meditation, and compassionate eating go hand in hand.
“All animals, every species, belong here to Earth. GOD made them to live here, and we are nobody to kill them.”
“There was a Muslim lady. She met me after 10 years, and she said, ‘You told me your stomach is not a graveyard, where you park dead bodies.’ And she never ate meat. This body GOD has given us to nurture, not by violating, not by killing any souls, and even those animals do have a soul. They also cry. When the animals are killed, they think that animal is killed. But in that dead body, there is a pain. And here you are trying to meditate. You are eating pain every day. How can you be pain-free? So, if you eat animal, you are also eating that pain with it. So, no, no, you cannot be peaceful by eating pain.”
“Killing animals is not peaceful. Our teeth are not meant to eat animals. Our digestive tract is not meant to eat animals. So, it naturally makes sense that we would eat plants and not animals.”
“I’d been vegetarian for a long time. One of my friends sent me one of those alarming kinds of videos of a dairy in America. Someone had snuck in and took videos of what was really going on there. And I don’t know why I even let myself watch it, but that was it. I said, ‘I cannot contribute to this kind of violence against innocent, innocent animals.’”
Etc…
We sincerely thank Anubhuti Meditation and Retreat Center for its gracious welcome, and our Association members for spreading Master’s message of peace, spirituality, and veganism. Above all, our deepest gratitude to Beloved Supreme Master Ching Hai (vegan) for Her loving guidance. May the true spirit of yoga inspire ever more hearts to walk the gentle path of ahimsa and embrace the compassionate vegan life, in Heaven’s infinite Blessings.
