Here is a tip to stretch your lower body, working the hamstrings, calves and hip flexors. First, make sure you are standing with your feet hip-width away from each other. Then move your left leg back in a lunge position and set both of your hands on each side of your right foot on the ground, approximately shoulder-width apart. Lower your hips enough to feel a stretch in the anterior aspects of your left hip and leg. Hold this position for 30 seconds. Then straighten your front leg by gradually extending it, leaving your hands placed on the ground. Stay in this position for 30 seconds. Finally, repeat these steps on the other side.
British centenarian raises funds for health service.
Captain Tom Moore, who turned 100-years-young on April 30 of this year, has raised over £32 million for the National Health Service (NHS) in the United Kingdom to help during the COVID-19 pandemic. Captain Moore started a fundraising page on JustGiving.com and stated he would walk 100 laps around his garden before his 100th birthday. He initially hoped to raise £1,000 but the figure was far exceeded due to the enormous amount of support from the public. This warm response inspired the kind gentleman to continue with another total of 100 laps. More than 1.5 million people contributed to his cause, with the proceeds donated to NHS Charities Together. Our loving appreciation, Captain Tom Moore. May you continue your noble deeds in good health as the generous people of the United Kingdom stand together in the strength of the Providence, as we enter a bright vegan era. Supreme Master Ching Hai: “Warmly present the Shining World Compassion Award to Captain Tom Moore, with lots of love and gratitude. May God bless you abundantly for your generous spirit and kind heart.”
Mega reserve for rescued animals opens in Laos.
Australia-based animal charity, Free the Bears, recently opened a large reserve on a hilltop at their Luang Prabang Wildlife Sanctuary to shelter over 20 animal species saved from illegal wildlife trade. The rescued animals include birds, civets, leopards, macaques, moon bears, pangolins, red pandas and tortoises. After three years of expansion, the new reserve is over 25 times larger than their original shelter and features a wildlife hospital, a cub nursery, a quarantine house and a pangolarium. Furthermore, the 77 moon bears saved by the nonprofit now have special houses and a sizeable enclosure containing a lake to swim in. By 2021, the project will be completed with the addition of more houses for rescued bears. The charity group seeks to end bear bile farming in the country by 2022 with the government’s support. Our heartfelt thankfulness, Laos and Free the Bears. May we always protect our animal brethren, as we herald an era of kindness, in Buddha’s compassion. Supreme Master Ching Hai: “Thankfully present the Shining World Compassion Award to Free the Bears, and US$10,000 in loving support of your noble and caring work, with all love and gratitude, in Divine grace. May you, your team and the precious animals you safeguard be always blessed and shielded by the Heavens.”
Let’s enjoy a laugh with the joke of the day entitled, “Moved by a Book.”
Honey, what are you doing?
I’m reading a book.
Then why are you crying?
The ending of the book is very sad.
What book is that?
My bank book!
And now we have a heartline from Yu Mai-Mai in China:
I am deeply grateful to all the Supreme Master TV team for your dedication. The positive energy you have brought to the world has greatly and rapidly changed the whole world and awakened the consciousness of human beings. I have been watching Supreme Master TV every day, and like very much the Surangama Sutra explained by Master in Between Master and Disciples. I knew nothing about the sutra before, and through the explanation of Master Ching Hai, I have understood the importance of keeping the precepts on the path of spiritual practice and being alert to all kinds of traps. Under Supreme Master Ching Hai’s loving care, my family is full of happiness and joy! My son and daughter-in-law have happily adopted the healthy vegan diet together with our granddaughter. My husband is now retired and also Your disciple. My mother was initiated by You as early as in 1997. She has passed away now. I believe that Master has taken her to Heaven. I adopted my baby dog when she was four months old. Now she is 10 years old and her name is Happy. She has always been vegan, very loving, and energetic like a young dog. When Master comes out to meet fellow practitioners on Supreme Master TV, Happy goes into samadhi at home. So cute! Master Ching Hai, I am so grateful to You! I will endeavor to be Your best disciple, a good citizen of the country, a good wife, mother, and grandmother at home. On behalf of my family, I wish You the best of health and that Your noble ideals will come true very soon. Wish our world will unite in harmony soon.
Yu Mai-Mai from China
Gracious Yu Mai-Mai,
Thank you for sharing your earnest words of appreciation for our Beloved Master and Supreme Master Television’s programming. It is our fortune that She took many hours to thoroughly explain the Surangama Sutra and did so in such a very clear and expressive manner. Like yourself, we are guided by Master’s wisdom and do our very best to follow Her example and lead the vegan lifestyle that nourishes and nurtures humanity, elevates our world, and fosters a harmonious existence for all beings.
Peace and Heaven’s Love to you and your bright co-citizens of China,
Supreme Master TV team
P.S. Master said: “Eager Yu Mai-Mai, my thanks for your encouraging well-wishes. Please continue to diligently practice your spiritual meditation so that you may be a positive, shining role model of kindness and piety for others to follow. Buddha’s abundant blessings to you, your loved ones and courageous China.”
