Here is a super recipe on how to make yummy vegan pumpkin and parsnip soup. First, set half of an unpeeled, medium pumpkin that has been deseeded and quartered into a steamer basket that is placed over simmering water. Keep it covered and let it steam for 10-15 minutes. Take the pumpkin out of the steamer and allow it cool on a chopping board. Next, warm 15 milliliters (one tablespoon) of untoasted sesame oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Then chop up two large onions and finely cut up one large parsnip and add it to the pan. Keep the pan covered and sauté for fifteen minutes. Stir the ingredients occasionally. After the onions and parsnip are tender, sprinkle in two grams (½ teaspoon) of five-spice powder and one gram (¼ teaspoon) of black pepper. Then stir everything together and cook for two additional minutes. Separate the pumpkin skin from the flesh and add it to the pan. Next, pour 4 cups (one liter) of vegetable broth to the pan and mix it well. Use a hand-held blender to pureé the mixture in the pan, but leave several chunks of parsnip and onion for texture. Once the soup starts to thicken, place the lid back on the pan and let it simmer for ten minutes. Lastly, take the pan off of the heat and serve it instantly. For all of you in the Northern hemisphere, this is a perfect soup to help keep your friends and family warm during the fall weather. Enjoy!
The joke of the day is a really fun companion, so let’s enjoy its hilarious company. This one’s entitled “Just Forgot.”
Someone asked Nicholas, an elderly gentleman, about his marriage:
‘Even after 50 years of matrimony, you still call your wife sweet names like “honey,” “darling,” and “my love.” What’s the secret?’
“Oh, it’s just that I forgot her name and I’m too scared to ask.”
?!
And now we have a heartline from Yeol-mae in Korea:
Thank you, Beloved Supreme Master Ching Hai, Tim Qo Tu, and the Supreme Master TV team. In the Fly-in News aired on February 22, 2023, “Heavens’ Revelations About Future World Events,” Master shed tears during Her speech. I cried a lot too. As Master said, we have the ability, intelligence, and tools and it’s frustrating why we don't use them.
Master stated, “The situation is just like when doctors and nurses want to help the patient, but the patient doesn’t do anything that he is supposed to do in order to get well. The patient has to also cooperate with the medical personnel in order to get well. He has to take the prescribed medicine, has to trust the doctors, has to be willing to cooperate, to fight with the doctors in order to defeat the disease, which is ravaging his body. We don’t have that much cooperation from the world people. The animal-people cannot do much, but the world people can. They are given all the capabilities, intelligence and tools to make peace between themselves and with the co-inhabitant animal-people, but they’re just not doing it. They are not doing it. Some, but the percentage is so low. Just take the medicine. Just be vegan, my God. It’s not even about God or spirituality. It’s scientifically proven that going vegan will save you, save your lives, save your loved ones, and save your planet. Please just go vegan, be repentant, make peace and do good deeds.”
I had a dream at dawn in early May. It was a place as beautiful as Heaven. There was a festival going on with performances on a stage in a big square. On one side, they were rehearsing for a performance. When I was also rehearsing, people on the main road next to the square, who couldn’t get into the square, were hanging around in front of a big restaurant, looking inside with hunger. Although I was preparing for a performance, I went to the restaurant. When I arrived, there were no people working, and all the tools were old. But I had to make something because I had to feed hungry people. While I was trying hard to heat the pot and make the food, I noticed that the soup ladle had a pencil-sized hole, causing the soup to spill. So I worked faster and harder to scoop the soup quickly. After a while, someone beside me was helping me scoop the soup with the same utensil, and when I went over to thank Her, I realized She was our Master. Master and I scooped up the soup with great effort. I felt so sorry for Master’s hard work, so I thought I should look for a bigger ladle to stop the soup from leaking. I searched every corner of the restaurant and found a big yellow utensil that was even bigger than a pot. I was so happy that I picked it up, and just as I was about to rush to Master, the phone rang loudly, and I woke up from the dream.
The Busan Center is running a video vehicle that broadcasts Supreme Master Television in real-time. The Busan, Jinju, and Ulsan Centers are participating in it. On April 22 and May 6, we held marches in Busan, and on May 14, we held a march in Jinju, with the video vehicle accompanying us. During the march, we broadcast “Supreme Master Ching Hai’s Plea for World Vegan, World Peace.” During the Jinju march, we showed a 12-minute video of Master’s speech at COP27 as a special guest speaker. In June, in addition to the Busan, Jinju, and Ulsan Centers, the Daegu Center will be joining in the video vehicle operation and campaign. The Daegu Center is also planning a march on June 17.
I think the big yellow utensil I saw in my dream was a video vehicle broadcasting Supreme Master Television in real-time. Even though people cannot watch or hear it, the video vehicle will continue to travel from town to town so that many souls can awaken and become vegan, while being immersed in the Blessings of Master, who can help them. I pray for Your excellent health and well-being. I also pray that the world will soon be a vegan world so that goodness will prevail. Yeol-mae from Korea
Benevolent Yeol-mae, Thank you for relating your spiritual inner vision, which prompted thoughts of how we also can always do more to help others and ourselves. It is best that we follow Master’s guidance on how to do things; this way, we achieve the most with the least effort. We must heed our inner Master and remember the Divine at all times to be a helpful tool and not a hindrance to Master, who is always there for us. May the all-Powerful Buddhas hear your prayers and those of the faithful Korean people so we may have a vegan paradise on Earth for all beings soon. In Heavenly Light, Supreme Master TV team
P.S. Master has this reply just for you: “Positive Yeol-mae, your dream reflects your ability to be proactive and desire to make a difference. So, well done, and I thank you and your brothers and sisters for all your efforts. In light of our frustration, we must continue to work harder to progress towards a world where compassion and love are the highest priority and guiding lights in the world. I am blessed to have such helpers. May the Mighty Godses show humanity the noble way to liberation and bless you and fine Korea with everlasting peace. Love you.”
