Vegan Nation host, Marlene Narrow, is also a World Peace Diet Facilitator. One of our missions is to help the public understand that peace in the community and in the world, is impossible in a global carniste paradigm based on the natural laws of “as we sow we reap” and “what we put out comes back”. This, scientifically (and spiritually), explains why, even in 2024, when humanity has massive technological advancement, there is an unfortunate massive amount of violence & suffering in the human arena to children, women & men of all races and on all continents. Many people are now waking up to understand that the missing piece (peace) is that authentic Veganism is necessary to stop & end the violence/suffering that humanity experiences as a result of a global herderic-carniste culture – which can be understood as: we don’t deserve tranquility* & peace while we are, consciously or unconsciously, inflicting suffering & injustice upon those who don’t look like us (the other animals). MLK Jr. described it in a similar manner as “negative peace”, whereas some may think that they are experiencing peace in their own lives, or their family’s own lives, yet billions around the world are not experiencing peace. So, our goal as Vegan activists is to actualize “positive peace”. We believe that it’s necessary to realize a tipping point of Vegans (Animal liberation), globally, in order to achieve a planetary paradigm of “positive peace“.
There’s a great song by Ellie Sarty of Compassion Arts called Everything Comes Around, that explains this in an artistic/creative way – Excerpt of lyrics: “Under the heavens, we pray for mercy in our lives; and under our hands can we show no mercy for those lives we sacrifice. Suffer the innocent. Consuming more than victims, there’s no cure for the ill in store, you’ll see. …as our choices make their way around…” Will Tuttle (author of The World Peace Diet) also explains it in a similar manner to help people understand the mystery why ‘bad things happen to good people’. This doesn’t mean that human suffering is intentionally inflicted, what it means is that we will, inevitably, experience suffering, in its many forms – disease, wars, violence, addictions, family/national chaos/conflicts, etc., as a direct result of the COLLECTIVE actions of a nonvegan human population. It’s based on quantum theory – reflective vibrations. This is the reason why it’s imperative that Vegans do our best to co-create a vegan planet Earth, and to help nonvegans to understand and to also transition (change) into becoming Vegan in order to help stop & end the cycles of suffering for humanity. Many Vegans explain this concept; but are often misunderstood because many nonvegans (carnistes) choose to ignore culpability & responsibility (ability to respond) in causing unnecessary suffering to others who don’t look like us.
*tranquility – (lack of) example; people are in fear of theft or harm (locking doors, cyber security, afraid to go out after dark, carrying guns, airport checks, etc.). We see that the human population is not in a state of tranquility; yet every day, worldwide, humans steal from & harm mostly females & their young offspring/children in order to confiscate & consume their breast milk (dairy products), menstrual/ovulatory secretions (eggs), and flesh, also lab animal breeding facilities, biomed/pharma labs, military labs, and other exploitation/violence-based industries. This is why a vegan world is necessary for tranquility for everyone. “We suffer as a people all things we cause all other creatures to suffer from. ” ~ Joseph & Jessica Seckman, messenger of the Universal & Apostolic Church

During the second half of this Aug 27th show, Marlene shared a short snippet of a recent quote by Dr. Will Tuttle (8/19/24). Here’s the full quote (audio transcript):
“In the Buddhist tradition, it’s well understood that there are…we don’t call them Commandments but it’s precepts not to kill not to harm not to steal not to abuse sexually abuse others; and in the Buddhist tradition, it’s not confined to humans. It’s very specific that it’s all sentient beings. So in the Buddhist tradition, when the Buddha brought this tradition…when he had his Enlightenment experience 500 BC in India, it was really a reform movement in India and moved the entire subcontinent of India away from meat eating and away from animal sacrifices toward vegetarianism, and when it spread to Eastern Asia like to China and to the Eastern Asia where they didn’t do dairy, it just basically introduced veganism into the world for the first time. When I was a Zen Buddhist monk in Korea, I was in a monastery that had been practicing vegan living for 850 years – no meat no dairy no eggs no wool no silk no leather no killing of insects – the whole thing is based on ahimsa. Ahimsa is the Sanskrit word that means nonviolence, and the whole idea is that if we’re really serious about Spiritual Awakening, we’re not going to be needlessly abusing other living beings in any way, and that that’s really the foundation of spiritual maturity, of moral morality, and of a society where peace and Justice and freedom are actually possible. So it’s really hardwired into the Buddhist teaching – nonviolence and what we would call today veganism. There was an old word in Japanese, Shojin, which means refraining from eating animal foods for ethical reasons, right, it’s basically…this is an ancient teaching; it goes way back before we coined the word vegan. In the Buddhist tradition, it goes way back, so it’s foundational really to the Buddhist practice. It doesn’t mean everybody does it. Buddhism has been strongly influenced by the West and has been pushed away from these teachings, but foundationally it’s…it is kind of baked into Buddhism.
One of the ideas in the Buddhist tradition is getting away from the idea of Good and Evil and more toward the idea of skillful and unskillful actions; and the basic idea is that unskillful actions lead to suffering for oneself and others, that all life is completely interconnected, and whatever we sow, we’re going to reap. This is a foundational teaching in the Buddhist tradition. So there’s also reincarnation or the idea of rebirth, that whatever we…whatever seeds we sow, we’re going to experience in future lifetimes. So if we’re going to insist on being an agent of violence and abuse toward other sensient beings, then we will experience that ourselves. So there’s this sense of it’s unskillful because it causes more suffering to myself, it reduces my spiritual capacity, and it causes suffering to others; and there’s one life living through all of us, so that basic idea goes contrary. And skillful actions essentially are in alignment with what’s called Dharmata – is the way the universe is. It’s one life living through all of us…we…there’s no fundamentally separate self. In Buddhism, we are all expressions of a life, so this…this body is not what we are…we have. That’s the delusion. So when we see others merely as a physical object, like when we see a cow just as something to be used, that’s a delusion that’s unskillful and it causes suffering. So the whole idea is in Buddhism to come back to our wisdom, our true nature, which is wise and awake. It’s fundamentally a very positive, optimistic view; and then to live that way skillfully with compassion for all…” – Dr. Will Tuttle
