Every now and then, I run into some advertisement in the form of a flyer or a video advocating why we must be vegans. Not just vegetarians but strict vegans. The advertisement tells you how our consumption of meat is contributing to, among other things, global warming and wastage of resources such as water. Interesting message I'll think to myself, but when the words "Supreme Master TV" fall on my eyes at the end of the advertisement, I know I have to take this with a huge truck-load of salt.
The website is Supreme Master TV and they have a sister website God's Direct Contact (yea right!). The Supreme Master herself is Ching Hai, who is a mix of Vietnamese-Chinese, born in Vietnam. She's not that big of a shot, but still she's making some impact by gathering quite a following. It seems she's financing herself by making her followers buy their needs directly and only from her. She has also been criticized of her flamboyant and materialistic dress sense which was seen inappropriate for a spiritual teacher by some.
Searching LOR, I found no discussions about this religio-cult. So I thought I'd stir some discussions. What do you know about this "Supreme Master"? What are your opinions? What are the facts about this cultist form of veganism (and maybe veganism in general)?
