It is important for humans to be united and work quickly on all the solutions to save our planet, keep our Earth shining forever, and bring Heaven on Earth. In fact, some of us have already devoted time and effort to it. To honor these selfless heroes, Supreme Master Ching Hai (vegan) has established various awards to recognize their compassionate and their generous actions. Let’s look at the background story of these awards.“Everywhere in the world, we can observe and be touched by acts of kindness. People from all walks of life, faiths, and cultures extend themselves beyond the call of duty to help others unconditionally. Even loving, caring people from the animal kingdom contribute to this noble category. Through their noble deeds, humanity as a whole is elevated. To commend virtuous actions and encourage more people to be inspired by their example, Supreme Master Ching Hai (vegan) has lovingly created a series of awards, including the Shining World Leadership Award, Shining World Compassion Award, Shining World Hero and Heroine Awards, Shining World Honesty Award, Shining World Protection Award, Shining World Intelligence Award, and Shining World Invention Award, etc… These awards are to recognize some of the most exemplary, generous, caring, and courageous people who walk amongst us, as well as heroic, beautiful animal-people co-inhabitants, whose acts are equally worthy of praise and gratitude.”Today, with great honor, we announced a recipient of the Shining World Hero Award in Hong Kong, Mr. Bobsy. Mr. Bobsy, a Lebanese-born British artist, is now a resident of Hong Kong. He’s an environmental advocator and Hong Kong Earth Champion, who provides a persuasive example of what one person can do to protect Mother Earth. Mr. Bobsy cooperated in and supported the building of many different green organizations and charity groups. And furthermore, his most incredible action was planting approximately 160,000 trees on Lamma Island during the past ten years. Understanding the critical nature of global warming, Mr. Bobsy launched the “Save The Human” campaign in March 2009 to inspire people to adopt the vegetarian diet and join in the movement to save our planet. The message is being spread online through YouTube and Facebook. In just a few weeks, the campaign has touched numerous people, not only in Hong Kong, but throughout the world. In recognition of Mr. Bobsy’s noble work, Supreme Master Ching Hai honors him today with the Shining World Hero Award. Now let’s spend a few moments watching an excerpt of this video, which has also won the South China Morning Post Documentary Award at the recent “I Shot Hong Kong 2009 Festival.”“38% of the world’s grain is fed to animals. Save the human! 1.1 billion people in the world do not have access to clean water while 20,000 liters is used for just 1 pound (0.45 kilograms) of beef. Save the human! Change your diet! Don’t change the climate! Change your diet! Save the human! We are all connected, our planet reflects it. We must, must respect it and never neglect it.
