Precious Advice from Supreme Master Ching Hai (vegan): How to Efficiently Keep Pet Friends Warm and Happy During Winter

Hi there, all beautiful kids, angels of Love. Praying to GOD that you are all happy, alright – physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually – that your parents will pass on to you all kinds of worldly knowledge as well as spiritual wisdom, so that you can be well protected and live on comfortably in this world.

Winter is coming, and we heard that many places have a lot of disasters like floods, a lot of rain and sudden cold waves, or heat waves, whatever wave. We don’t feel safe these days, but never mind, you just have to try your best. Prepare all the warm clothes and even a tent maybe. If you put up a tent inside your room and sleep in it with a warm blanket, a thick blanket, that would be warm enough for you. And if you can, also have a smaller one for your dog-people, if you have a dog-person or some dog-people.

Some of my experiences with dog-people were that if I put my dog-people in a cage, the cage would have some gaps, like windows around the cage. Then it’s much warmer if you cover the whole cage with a thick, warm blanket, maybe even more than one blanket. And you close the front also with this same blanket or an extra blanket and just leave a little gap in the front door for the dog-person to have more air, or open it more. That is for summer; in winter, it’s better to leave it a little open at the front wall-window, (see photograph) so draught will not hurt your pet-person. And the front of the cage should be completely closed, and the air will come in and out through the little window-gap. Just open a little gap, not a lot, so the cage will be warm. But there will always be air, you know, coming in and out. It’s quite warm inside.

You can also give them a jacket, winter jacket. Then when they sleep in there, it’s much, much warmer than on the bed – unless you sleep together on your bed and keep covering him or her all night when he kicks the blanket off the bed. Otherwise, if he sleeps independently in the winter, if some days you don’t have electricity, you just let him sleep in a cage like that. You know, these portable cages or any fancy cage as long as it has a structure so that you can cover the whole cage with a thick blanket, or maybe even a sleeping bag. Then inside the cage will be very warm because the dog-people themselves have a kind of heating system in their body somehow, they’re quite warm. So if they sleep in such a small cage like that, then the heat will be preserved inside the cage. Then so they won’t feel that cold at all.

Or give them also a soft, simple, pyramid kind of tent that I have designed, or just any other tent as long as the roof is not all square. The roof would be slanted down, be it round or triangle shape. It’s warmer that way and they’d feel more peaceful inside. OK, my dear love?

GOD loves you, good kids. I love you too. Be assured of that. And I love your dog-, your cat-, your bird-, your duck-, your turtle-person. Even your snake-, your mouse-person, anything you love and brought into your loving home, I love them too. I love all the animal-people, even tiger-, lion-, snake-people… I love all of them. OK, my love. GOD loves you, kids, always. I love you too, always. And be well, be good, be praying every day to make a habit to pray to GOD. When you wake up, thank HIRM for a peaceful night, and before you go to bed, thank HIRM for a wonderful day, successful day, peaceful day, loving day. And if something has not gone according to your wish, then next time, tomorrow. There’s always something changed. And if you live well, virtuously, kindly to all, then GOD will always be there, and you will always feel GOD’s Love. And life will be very comfortable – as comfortable as it gets in this world. OK, my love?

And look forward to Heaven, your real Home. Try to find a way to see your Home before you even say goodbye to this world to go back Home. There are many ways you can find it. You look on the internet to see which Master you like. You study with that Master. Make sure he promises you that the method he teaches you will take you Home. The higher, the better. “In my Father’s House, there are many mansions.” Some are lower, some are higher. Some are in the middle. Some are the highest. So pick your choice. But pray first to make sure that Master is good. Ask him or her if he or she him-/herself has even gone to Heaven, the highest possible, and if they have even seen GOD or talked to GOD, for example like that. And make sure that that Master is unconditional – never asks you to do anything, unless you volunteer, you feel like You’d love to do it, but not to be exploited by anyone who claims himself or herself to be a Master. Alright?

Remember GOD, you are from the Divine, and GOD loves you. I and GOD love you. Take care, my dear. Help your parents when you can and with what you can. Study well so that you can be of help to society after you graduate. We thank GOD for everything we have and any other thing that HES deems fit to give us. Amen. Love you.

Another tip for dog-people is that, when the dog-person sleeps even in the cage at night in winter, if you can cover the top of the cage without any obstruction, you just cover their cages. The same cage that I mentioned before – with many gaps, several windows around the cage – then you can put an electric blanket on top and outside of the cage, cover it with an electric blanket, the suitable size. First, cover the electric blanket with a very warm blanket, double it even, just to cover it, so all the heat will be kept under those blankets and not dissipate in the air. And, of course, inside the cage, you put a warm, thick blanket, also a mattress under the blanket for them. Make it comfortable. And even if winter is very cold, it’d be very warm inside if you turn the electric blanket on according to the temperature in the night. If it’s too cold, you put number two maybe. If it’s not too cold, number one. If it’s colder, number three, for example. You have to check it out. After you turn the electric blanket on for a while, and your dog-people went in already, sleep snugly, then you put your bare hands inside the cage, and you’ll feel the temperature in the cage is completely different from outside. Even before using the electric blanket already, on some of the winter nights, which are not too cold, you will feel very warm inside, so the dog-person will sleep very soundly and snoring.

So, take care of yourself. Take care of your beloved pet-people with all love. And remember GOD and pray GOD to protect you, your family, your loved ones or your friends, your pet-people, for example. Whoever you love, if you feel they need praying for, you do that. Even if you pray for someone, some of the merit will also be for you, naturally, automatically. Have fun in praying to GOD. Don’t be surprised if sometimes GOD answers you. Especially if you do some meditation, like Quan Yin meditation (on the inner Heavenly Light and Sound), you will see GOD. Sometimes or often, it depends on your relationship with HIRM. Ciao, ciao. Love you! GOD loves you, good kids. I love you too!

We love You, too, Master! We cherish Your precious advice on how to efficiently keep our pet friends warm and happy during winter, and we thank You for the spiritual care and guidance.
