Having received the Award plaque and a signed appreciation letter
from Master, Rima later wrote in an email, “Thank you so
much for the Award. That’s really wonderful. I shall treasure
that.” She was also very happy to receive Master’s
contribution, books and other publications. We wish Dr. Rima Morrell
the best of luck in her noble work and plans to extend the sanctuary
to be able to rescue more of our beautiful and innocent animal friends!

On November 23, Golden Year 6 (2009), our Association members were honored to present Dr. Rima Morrell, an animal communicator and founder of The Living Ark Animal Sanctuary on the Isle of Skye in Scotland, with the Shining World Compassion Award on behalf of Supreme Master Ching Hai. Master also contributed US$10,000 (GBP£6,100) to the sanctuary, which will help feed the animals for the next year.
Dr. Morrell is a very accomplished woman, who received her degree in anthropology from Cambridge University and her Ph.D in geography from University College London. She is the author of three spiritual books about Huna, an ancient wisdom and spiritual practice of Hawaii. Since 2005, The Living Ark Animal Sanctuary has provided a comfortable and loving home for rescued farm animals, which had either fallen sick or otherwise would have been slaughtered. The sanctuary runs solely on donations, and people who work with the animals are volunteers.
A great lover of animals, Dr. Morrell’s deep connection with these caring co-inhabitants enables her to communicate easily with them telepathically. She said, “Our animal companions have an enormous amount of love for us. There is always love there, and within that love there are many different messages.” She was able to relate some messages for humans that she had received from the sheep, pigs and cats living in the sanctuary, and even those from whales that are really showing themselves around the Isle of Skye. She stressed that it’s important for people to give up their bad habits, such as eating meat, and to start to do good things that bring grace. She explained, “Every time you eat meat, that is an animal which has suffered terribly and died that you are eating and turning into the contents of your body. And in fact, it’s really, really important to make another choice. Open your heart, never ever refuse to help others, and don’t make choices that will lead to death, lead to destruction, lead to killing.”
