Meditation Is Very Important (Part 2 of 4) July 17, 2013, France

(Master, I want to update some news from Japan.) Wow, please. Lovely! (Because I had a chat with a Japanese owner on the Internet. And he opened a vegan restaurant. My friend told me he has a really good business. So I asked him, “Why did you open a vegan restaurant?” And he told me a very touching story. He said before he actually owned two barbecue houses in Kyoto. And the business was also very good. And one day his dog got hurt and he sent him to the hospital, and also he felt very sorry for the dog. And he felt just like he himself got hurt. And suddenly in that second, he realized all the animals are the same.) Yes! If the dog can get hurt like that and pain, then all the animals are the same! (Yes. And so, he said because of that moment, he decided to close all his not-vegetarian restaurants. And very good business, he told me. He said he told his wife and they all agreed to his idea. So they just shut down the shop and then opened a vegan restaurant.) Bravo, the dog! (Yes.) Told you, animals can teach you some things. (And now, so his most famous dish in his vegan restaurant is actually vegetarian BBQ, barbeque. And my friend told me that was really wonderful. You’d never think it’s vegetarian.) Yes? (So he still uses his talent and cooks very well and good business.) Wonderful. Good for him, good for his family. Good for the dog! I’m sure the dog is some being, special, came to help him, to waken him up.
