Dear Dr. Lawrence,

It is with great pleasure and admiration that we present to you the Shining World Leadership Award. This Award is presented in recognition of outstanding effort and enlightened leadership in creating a bright future for the world and all humanity, with compliments and gratitude for exemplary kindness.

The Meatless Mondays program encourages people all across America to adopt a vegetarian diet one day per week. By introducing Americans to the benefits of vegetarianism, Meatless Mondays raises the general consciousness of the nation and gives reason to hope for a brighter future.

For your work in developing this forward thinking program, for promoting vegetarianism on a national scale, for using your highly respected position in the scientific establishment to promote better human health and spiritual well-being, we hereby applaud and celebrate the great deeds of Dr. Robert Swan Lawrence.

With great Honor, Love, and Blessings,

The Supreme Master Ching Hai
