It is important to know what is happening to the food industry around the world and what is happening to the food you consume, how it is being processed and what is being added. According to ayurveda our body slowly becomes food after a process of seven days, turning from one tissue into another. If that food is healthy, natural and compatible with our body elements, then we can turn that food into us. This leads to healthy thinking and healthy choices. Here begins our joy, contentment and happiness.
If this food is sub-standard and void of nutrition then the body has to work hard to get rid of it out of the system, much of the food may tun to unhealthy fat, raise the blood temperature and pressure trying to use food which is not usable. Negative unhealthy thinking is a direct result of too many toxic foods in the system.
You have experienced this for yourselves- you don’t need “scientific” proof. After eating junk food, sweets, eating late, drinking too much liquid, consuming processed or out of season foods etc etc, you notice that the digestion is not well. Become more aware by knowing yourself well so you do not become involved with negative non-beneficial habits.

Hi honey,
Thank you for writing :p I have slim body and great digestion. I love the Warrior yoga, it makes me meditate better. My body is light, bliss and calm…..after :p
I’m curious about body elements, How can i indicate of each person has each element more than the others? :p and food to match the individual body elements? :p
Baby, i reading you and we should not sleep or eat late? Sleeping before/by 9pm is better? Postpone your meeting to be early morn? We look beautiful in the morning anyway? lol :p
Someone’s case study. :p
1. Your father likes to visit temples to listen to sermons and was enthusiast to learn about Buddhism since he was a young man because; in the past, he ordained since he was a novice monk until he became a monk. He inherits this disposition but he was a monk not for long, and then he disrobed because of his young man desire.
This life, he intended to ordain but he did not because of his past life pattern that he disrobed because women are lovely, so he disrobed to meet woman.
Fruits from fostering Buddhism since he was a young man made him good looking, wealthy (from giving generosity or dana), have qualifications (from supporting Dhamma teaching), etc.
2. Your father almost died from malaria because; in the past life, he was a hunter who killed lots of animals. The killing retribution was surfaced, and actually, he had to die from that retribution.
However, in the same life, he met a wandering monk wandering along the edge of a forest. The monk was ill and almost died. Therefore, he took care of him for months, and gave him medicine, food as well as attended to him until he recovered.
This wholesomeness lessened the retribution from killing lots of animals, and made him survive and become conscious.
At that moment, his astral body was leaving but there was a light meritorious connection so his astral body was not going away and miraculously became conscious again.
3. You were born as a son of your parents because you all used to accrue merits together in the past, and you made a wish in the past to have parents supporting your ordination as well as a wish from your father to have a son who ordains.
Two banyan trees that your father dreamt about means he will have a meritorious son who later will ordain, and there will be a relative ordaining too. After his son and cousin ordain, they will be protector and supporter for relatives and devotees, and will be an important Buddhist force.
Wholesomeness influenced him to dream about that.
4. You had near to death experience 2 times; falling into deep well and falling from a tree causing unconsciousness because of retributions in a past life. In that life; you annoyed your friend by pushing him into a river but you did not know that he could not swim, and shook a tree until your friend fell down from the tree and became unconscious.
These retributions surfaced but they are not heavy retributions because it was a child play without bad intention and your friends did not die, so you did not die as well.
5. When Boonmee was newly born, he did not cry and did not move and was placed in a black bag and almost thrown away because; In a past life, when he was young, he shook a tree because of his mischievousness until the baby bird fell down and almost died. But the bird did not die, and then he put the baby bird back into its nest.
This retribution surfaced to make him look like death but not die.
6. Boonmee sees inner Dhammakaya which is a wholesome object of meditation when he meditates because of his disposition that he loves meditation over many lives. This causes him to comfortably practice meditation and attains Dhamma quickly. Therefore, when you try to carefully handle the inner Dhammakaya, it will become brighter and more stable.
7. After your grandfather passed away:
He thought of the wholesomeness that he did with you before he died. So he did not go straight to 5th level of major hell but he went to purgatory of 5th level of major hell instead, because of his liquor drinking kamma.
He received merits you dedicated to him already but he still has to repay his retributions. Please often dedicate more merits for him.
8. Sound of wood movement in the house wall is from natural phenomenon of wood tension and compression. If it makes you annoyed, then have a carpenter remove them and install new ones.
9. Your parents used to pursue perfection with Dhammakaya community as a provider dependant upon mood; which means sometimes they did, but other times they did not. Therefore, they met the community in some lives, did not meet in other lives, were wealthy in some lives, were poor in some lives, and so forth like these.
Your parents have wholesomeness enough to be wealthy at certain level, do not have difficult life and are able to pursue perfection well.
10. You have a monastic friend who has disposition to preach and teach Dhamma as well as has received many rewards.
This is because, in the past, he used to ordain with Dhammakaya community with responsibility to spread Dhamma. He had ability to give a sermon since last Buddha aeon.
However, he has to be careful during the change of period in life, and do not live monastic life carelessly. He has a good past ordination wholesomeness; therefore, he should not destroy this good pattern, and carefully handle himself as well as greatly love pursuing perfection so that his ordination pattern will be strong.
11. You and Boonmee used to pursue perfection with Dhammakaya community. In the last Buddha aeon, you both were well-behaved young men, and were tired of being a householder. Later, you both ordained at old age like your father in this life. Your father would like to ordain when he was young but he did not, he left monastic life to have family and children, later; he is tired of being a householder. So when you ordained in that life, you made a wish to ordain since you were young, and persuaded your nephew (Boonmee) who was young, to ordain too. Once Boonmee ordained, he was responsible for spreading Dhamma and teaching meditation practice.
In that life, you ordained at old age and meditated until you saw inner Dhammakaya so you could return to the fourth level of heaven [Tusita].
However, Boonmee in that life; was younger and loved to practice meditation. He meditated to more refined level and was able to return to the fourth level of heaven [Tusita] as well.้
12.
1) Graduating Pali study higher level 9 is not enough and not complete. The best ways to complete are - you have to study scriptures, practice, attain insight, preach as well as study Dhammakaya knowledge.
2) Graduating Pali study higher level 9 and grade 10 is very good. When you are still strong, you should study all of them; studying scriptures, practicing, attaining insight, preaching as well as studying Dhammakaya knowledge
3) Studying only grade 10 is suitable for seniors.
Since we have met each other in this life, therefore you must try to pursue perfection in all merits with fullest efforts and make a wish to follow the Dhammakaya community to Tusita (fourth level of heaven), in the special merit zone – bodhisattva as well as do not be apart from each other again.”
I love you, keep them coming? will watch the Foodinc movie asap :p
Naga cant meditate, only carry precepts.
Bright fireballs coming up from center one by one. :p

Good morning Cameron.:)
on Jun 10th, 2009 at 4:26 am
Darling Cameron - THANK YOU!This is sooo precious advice on the spiritual level.
Saw the trailer & it’s good!It’s the same in other parts of the world too.Atleast I’ve seen how some animals like hens & cows are kept & treated for the food industry and I’ve seen how sausages are made - it was so gruesome.This I’ve seen in Europe round about 20yrs ago on TV.All this is still carrying on in the world making people sick,sicker day by day,minute by minute - poison running trough their bodies.
on Jun 10th, 2009 at 12:56 pm
Processed food is not only canned food & the likes of it - processed food is also meat for example chicken,beef,pork,sausages,ham,bacon,etc - all these foods are processed - these animals are bred and stressed tortorously to death just so the meat industry can process their bodies - the meat from those dead stressed,tortured bodies into meat to sell in the food industry.Common sense should tell one that is bad and it is no wonder humans who eat such foods are diseased,and have to struggle hard,extremely hard in life - no matter if they have money or not - becauses they absorbed all that torture and stress the animals were put through just for their meat - all that negative energy became part of the body and mind of the humans who consumed that meat.Can anyone be healthy with that - or call themselves healthy? When the awareness increases and we start feeling true compassion and LIFE - we begin feeling LIFE trully in every cell of our bodies - our minds and hearts begins to honour LIFE and the vital energy flow of life through our bodies.Only in this condition do we understand the difference between HARM and VITAL ENERGY FLOW OF LIFE.When we understand the difference it is because we know what we choose - what we honour and what we nourish!
on Jun 10th, 2009 at 2:24 pm
Goodnight my darling Cameron!My delightful food from Heaven Is,My delightful food from Heaven Be,My delightful food from Heaven come unto me - Thou art a delightful meandering stream into my celestial being - Patchouli,Grass,Neroli & Jasmine - intoxicating me.My senses I loose unto thee - my nourishment justified by thy ecstasy.For you my sweet heart Cameron&composed by myself.Kissessweetwildkisses.I adore you my heavenly Cameron.

The way we eat. :p
“The cannibals Solomon islands believe that white men is a great source of protein and vitamins and cannibalism is a tradition that’s been passed on. This belief caused the Solomons to be isolated from the rest of the world. Even so, the terrifying past was changed when they experienced the inner peace and bliss that arise from meditation practice according to Buddhist teachings. It started with the arrival of Mr.Sungwien Kanchaiyapoom who had practiced meditation from Wat Phra dhammakaya and taught the meditation techniques to the Solomon colleagues. When they have gained the inner peace and study Dhamma (Buddha’s teachings) through Dream in Dream Kindergarten program taught by Luang Phaw Dhammajayo which made them understand more about Dhamma till they stop killing and consuming alcohol and turn to seeking the inner wisdom and peace instead.
In Africa, wars between tribes have always been a big problem for a long time. It is all Africans’ fortune to have a chance to know the word “true peace” in another aspect. This is the result of Venerable PhraRajbhavanavisudh who has sent a monk that would be a light for South Africa until the meditation centers in Johannesburg and Cape Town have been established. The Middle Way meditation program, which is one of Phrarajbhavanavisudh’s projects for peace, has also been introduced to create harmony and peace in Africa continent. Those who had participated in this meditation program had found bliss and peace from the inside when the mind stop and they all said in one voice that mediation is the only way to bring peace to South Africa and the whole continent.
As a result, the project “Peace For Africa” was created and Pretoria News, which is the local newspaper in the capital city of South Africa, had given the headline news on 20th October 2008 issue “Give Peace A Chance”. The news about Floating lanterns for peace ceremony was conducted for the first time in the country was published. After the media published the news, the project “Peace for Africa” and the founder, Phrarajbhavanavisudh, became big interests among the South Africans. Part of the news that was published was about Phrarajbhavanavisudh’s vision in peace-making – “This project ….
The other person who has devoted his life working in creating world peace is Dr. Michael Nobel. He was born and raised in Sweden and live most of his life in Switzerland - two countries who have not had a conflict with their neighbors for hundreds of years. His great grandfather’s brother Alfred Nobel who was an engineer founded the Nobel Peace Price. He himself has some experience and background in work for peace and spent 12 years of his recent past as head of a non-violence project which succeeded to reach out to over 2 million young people around the globe to teach them non-violent behavior through various programs in schools. He sits today on several boards of conflict resolution foundations trying to make young urban children adopt a non-violent lifestyle. Dr. Michael Nobel has participated in the Casting of Golden Image of Phra Monkol Thepmuni (Sodh Chandrasaro) on October 10th, 2008 saying “the wisdom of Dhammakaya, the key to the enlightenment of the Lord Buddha, In order that these teachings may once again announce to the world that the peaceful state of the mind is the secret of success.”He also mentioned of Luang Phaw Dhammajayo, “One only has to think of the millions of people whose lives are devoted to teaching children life skills, to fighting pain, disease and poverty, to protecting lives and property and to promoting ideals of morality and truth. We have a shining example here today, in the person of his holiness Luang Phaw Dhammajayo.” Dr. Michael Nobel first started meditation through Luang Phaw Dhammajayo’s teaching. He felt a strong inner peace and relaxation and said, “There is no doubt in my mind that if all of the statesment of the world, the military, the politicians and the corporate leaders accepted the principle of meditation and agreed to assimilate the wisdom of Luang Phaw Dhammajayo the world would surely become a haven of peace and tranquility”
The work of Venerable Dhammajayo which he has dedicated and supported to bringing peace to the world has been brought through bringing the inner peace through meditation in order to unite the differences in race, religions and tribes with conciliation. Meanwhile he supports all form of non-violence. He is a special person and his teaching raises moral support and lead people to have beautiful lives, to live in a better way. His good intention in bringing peace to the world has been recognized all over the world, eg. the “Path of Progress” - Ethics Quiz Contest - was honored as one of the “Programs of the Peace and Non-Violence of the Century” by UNESCO.
Phrarajbhavanavisudh has a right vision in creating world peace. Moreover, he has an idea to start a project in restoring ethics and moral values in youth. This project is of great value to the communities of the world. Phrarajbhavanavisudh also started a television channel DMC which benefits the viewers from all over the world and DMC has also won internationally well-recognized Telly Awards.
Besides propagating Buddhism, Phrarajbhavanavisudh has also reached out to impoverish people and those who face natural disasters. For example, he helped those who suffered from floods, both in Thailand and neighboring countries like Cyclone Nargis in Burma, those who suffered from wild fire in the United States and Earthquake in China. He also helped the poor who suffer from cold winter in Thailand, has given scholarships, started a campaign against alcohol, offering alms to the monks residing in 266 temples in 4 southern provinces of Thailand where violence prevailed and also Alms-offering project to 500,000 monks in 76 provinces of Thailand etc.
On October 10th 2008, Dr.Michael Nobel had found out that the proof which could be seen before cultivating peace through meditation was the sight of 300,000 people with smiley friendly faces, no aggression, no assault or conflict. This clearly showed the beneficial result of Luang Phaw Dhamajayo’s thoughts and teachings. He was convinced that if meditation was extended worldwide, a true peace and harmony would ensue. This could be achieved when everyone takes their role and responsibility to expand these teachings, to the members of their families, to their friends, to their business associates. Like the waves from a stone thrown into the water the teachings of the blessings of meditation will then sweep outwards and around the world and finally conquer violence.
From now on, “peace” will not be just another beautiful word heard and faded in just a few minutes, like Phrarajbhavanavisudh’s sermon, “Peace is known when the mind stops. Therefore, true peace price should be given to all those who could do so, that is to stop their mind until it’s cleansed and purified. Love and good intention for mankind will arise and they will become the center of peace for the people around them like the sun shining warm light to big and small stars, both near and far”… like Luang Phaw Dhammajayo.”
Sweetness Yogi Cameron, Love and Ray. I mentioned all of you to my sister, Ning :p
Love, your composing is so wonderful. Thank you :p
I’m glad to know you and thankful for the link of Foodinc. :p
I definitely do not want to be the cows or hens myself. :p
Karma, new karma of killers, old karma of animals for food. :p
Knowledge, there are farms raising animals to be killed for food.
Can you choose your profession? Can you choose your menu?
Do you know if you release animals, your merit sphere and your hearts will expand?
Sense of compassion. You can eat the dishes when you do not see cow and hens before they are killed? Because they are weaker? What about shrimps, fish and squid? Are we eating them?
Is it so hard to get tofu?
Persuit Perfection. Someone’s case study. :p
1. Your grandfather was born a cow after passing away because he followed the Pakistan tradition to commit himself to respect and worship cows. When mind is committed to anything - men, animals or things, he would be there. He will reborn to be cows for many lives. He could not receive the dedicated merits for being a cow.
Your grandmother was reborn as a female angel in the third phase of the Tavatimsa realm (second level of heaven) and has a golden heavenly mansion because of the merits that she made in Buddhism. She received your dedicated merits.
After your father passed away, he is in the third phase of Purgatory because of the drinking and flirtatious kamma. He is climbing the red cotton tree, suffering and is being tortured by the iron mouth crows, iron mouth dogs and the Purgatory officials.
The dedicated merits reduced his punishment but he is not free from his kamma yet.
After your mother passed away, she is in the 5th phase of Purgatory. She would have gone to the Great Hell for the bad deeds that she had done, but whenever your grandmother made merits, she had always dedicated the merits to all her children and hence these merits has helped your mother to be in the purgatory instead. She is being tortured and suffered from the hot copper liquid poured by the officials.
The dedicated merits reduced her punishment but she is not free from her kamma yet.
2. Your grandfather worshipped animals that were cows; because he did not associate with the wise, study and listen to the Dhamma and hence was lacked of wholesome wisdom and merits for many lives.
3. Your mother was bitterly despairing of her present love life and so drank and flirted. In her past life she was a flirtatious man. In this life, she was a woman and hence she had a flirtatious husband and misled her life despairingly.
4. Your brother-in-law present kamma of piercing a calf’s eye to blindness, chopped into pieces, boiled and ate it caused him to pierce his own eye to blindness. His present killing of animal kamma caused his fingers to be churned.
5. You were dumb for 2 months due to your past verbal misconduct. In that life, you were a merchant and had sharp tongue, like to reproach the employees when they didn’t answer your questioning with “Are you dumb?” You often spoke this way.
Your regained voice is more melody after being dumb because you had accumulated merits with our community in the past and persuaded other people to do good deeds. Due to your resolution to use your voice to persuade people to do good deeds in this life caused you to regain your voice with better harmony.
You got toxic Thyroid gland because of the killing order in this life, and you often get angry and irritable.
6. You had difficult childhood life because, in your past life you were not consistently making merits of generosity and you only met our Community when you were getting older.
In the early stage of that life your association with ruffians caused you to grow up among people who break first, third and fifth precepts.
7. The merits of helping to expand the Satellites and intending to be the chairman of the Kathina could help you close the unfortunate realms. But you have to do this often and include releasing a lot of cows.
Every time you make merits you have to dedicate merits to all animals you had offended. The retribution will be lightened and would not catch up with you. You have to make all kinds of merits: generosity, observe precepts and meditation, and also persuade others until the end of your life; then made resolution to be in the special merit zone of Tusita every time.”
More? some other people’s case study? :p
“1) In the past life, your husband truly used to be a hunter and importantly, your husband used to be in major hell level 1, then, accepted the most torturous punishment in Ussada hell. He then was born as a flesh-eating animal that hunted other animals for food, then, was born as a non-flesh-eating animal that was hunted by human and other animals, and eventually, has just recently been born as a human for a few lives.
Now, he is returning back to the same life cycle again which will lead him to the major hell again.
Therefore, you have to tell him to completely quit hunting and focus on generosity offering (dhana), precept observance (sila) and meditation (bhavana) in order to escape from these retributions.
2) Your oldest daughter and your husband’s mother passed away from the accident together because; in the past life, they both were siblings who fed animals and killed for food or for selling. When they killed a pig, your husband’s mother would tie the pig and your oldest daughter would slash. That is why both of them were killed at the same time for many past lives.
In the first 7 days, your oldest daughter could recollect her merits and circumambulate Maha Dhammakaya Cetiya as per principle.
However, her merit power is not enough to return to the fourth level of heaven [Tusita]. Presently, she is an angel in the second level of heaven [Tavatimsa] phase 3. She has received all merits you have dedicated to her.
Your husband’s mother is a lower level of earth-sprite in line of ogre. You should dedicate more merits to her.
3) Your mother and your oldest daughter’s best friend who were severely injured but survived, because, in the past life, they both had killing kamma but they also had wholesomeness from offering medicines to monks and normal people.
They are lucky that their present killing kamma has not surfaced yet. If it surfaced, they would definitely die. Do not live carelessly. Retribution can surface anytime.
4) Your mother used to be born in the society that did not listen to Dhamma, did not study about Dhamma and did not discuss Dhamma with wise men so she lacks wisdom and misbelieves that “killing animals for food is not demerit”. You should tell your mother “Whoever conducts either good or bad deeds will receive a consequence of the deeds.”
Everyone has their own deeds. Some consequences do not well match with present deeds but past deeds; i.e. Luang Phaw’s symptom does not come from present deeds but from past deeds.
If your mother still keeps killing animals, she will have short life-span in her next lives and have lots of illnesses. Please tell her to quit as the future retributions are not worthwhile.
5) Your husband’s older sister was addicted to playing cards and had lots of debts which caused her to leave her government career to escape from creditors because of her past kamma from associating with fools and being a fool herself. She used to persuade others to addictions in road to ruins as well so, in this life, she returned to the same cycle again. She had never listened to anyone who tried to stop her.
The retribution that caused her unable to die at your home since your mother refused her, is from the kamma that she made her parents suffer and scolded at her parents both in the past and present lives, and did not have wholesomeness from taking care of parents to support.
6) The reason that a monk in Nakorn Nayok province was kind to your husband’s older sister by taking care of her until her last moment and arranging her funeral is they used to support each other which influenced the monk to sympathise and have mercy towards her.
The story is, in that past life, the monk was a relative of your husband’s older sister and he was helped by her when he was suffering many times so once they met in this life, he kindly took care of her.
7) The retributions that caused your husband’s elder sister die from AIDS are adultery and killing kamma both in the past and present lives. After passing away, she went to purgatory hell.
She is being punished and tortured in gambling pit first and then she will have to go other pits as well. If you regularly dedicate merits to her, she will repay the kamma sooner.
You should think of it as “supporting relatives” which is a means of merit making. The way of thinking will make your mind ease with wholesomeness rather than thinking that you are repaying retributions.
9) You have retribution from hurting yourself to be sarcastic to your mother for many past lives so, in this life, you repeated it again.
However, there was a situation that influenced you and your husband fall in love because you and your husband used to be husband and wife since the past life that your husband was a hunter.
10) The reason that you lose in business after you quit selling groceries and changed to sell monks’ requisites and coffins is because your generosity offering perfection is insufficient and also you do not quit selling merchandises from false view; i.e. fish trapping nets, bird trapping nets, pesticides. The wholesomeness is unable to fully surface; although, you regularly offer generosity (dhana), observe precepts (sila) and meditate (bhavana).
You have to completely quit selling these merchandises and sell food or consumer products that people have to eat and use often and the wholesomeness will utmost surface.
11) You, your husband and your three children used to pursue perfections with Dhammakaya community as a provider who accrued merits dependant upon moods; i.e. sometimes did and the other times, did not, so in some lives we had met and the other lives we had missed.
Your third son has ordination blue print but is not firm. He requires very high encouragement to life time ordain.
You and everyone in your family should quit road to ruins, hold all precepts and pursue perfection at fullest efforts so everyone will rest at the fourth level of heaven (Tusita) together.
Since we have met each other in this life, therefore you must try to pursue perfection in all merits with fullest efforts and make a wish to follow the Dhammakaya community to the fourth level of heaven (Tusita), in the special merit zone – bodhisattva as well as do not be apart from each other again.”
Ordination life is the highest and happiest life. :p It is wide as space,opened space.. :p
All, it is so cool we spend only about 100 years human life but enjoy 576 million years in Tusita heaven, best investment :p
Happy meditating in Chinese :p Do you want anything from the celestial park??? :p :p :p :p
Celestial vehicle in Tusita has no wheels :p and very very much better ;p
