And now for our series of Shining World Leadership segment on an environmental group which
advocates that people of Tibetan heritage transition to organic farming methods.
The Series of Shining World Leadership Intro [VOICEOVER]: For decades, Supreme Master Ching Hai
has exemplified unconditional love through her worldwide humanitarian work. She has inspired our
Association members and countless people across the globe, to follow her compassionate example.
Through enlightened leadership a better world is truly possible. In recent times, a new and exciting
phenomenon has been on the rise that is bringing much hope and light to our planet Earth. More and
more leaders and governments around the world are adopting practices that greatly improve and
enhance the lives of their co-citizens, human and animal alike.
Tesi Environmental Awareness Movement (TEAM) is dedicated to helping people of Tibetan heritage
living in the Himalayan Mountain region adopt sustainable practices. Based in Dharamsala, India,
TEAM advocates organic agriculture, and offers farmers training in method of growing organic
produce. In addition, the non-profit assists with the establishment of organic seed banks and markets
within communities. TEAM encourages schools to adopt a nature-oriented curriculum. The non-profit
has also contacted more than125 Tibetan settlements, addressing, climate change issues. Another
endeavor of the group is to support Tibetan monks and nuns in reaffirming the honoring of all life,
which is at the roots of their spiritual beliefs. On World Environmental Day, June 5, 2010, TEAM held a
day-long seminar entitled, “The Role of Tibetan Monastic Communities in Environmental Protection.”
Another of TEAM’s projects is in developing eco-educational materials in theTibetan language. More
than 27 books and brochures have been published. Other printed material include posters of beautiful
wild animals, with the message that their precious lives be respected.
Bravo, Tesi Environmental Awareness Movement, on your very significant work. May the pure-hearted
Tibetan people embrace Earth-loving ways beginning with the low-emissions organic plant-based diet,
with Buddhàs immense love and blessings.
