The Supreme Master Chinghai
"I
dream that the whole world will become peaceful. I dream that all the
killing will stop. I dream that all the children will walk in peace
and harmony. I dream that all the nations will shake hands with each
other, protect each other and help each other. I dream that our beautiful
planet will not be destroyed. It took billions of years to produce this
planet and it's so beautiful, so wonderful; I dream it will continue,
but in peace, beauty, and love. Yes, that is my dream."

"She brings
love around the world where there is hate. She brings hope where
there is despair. And, She brings understanding where there is
misunderstanding. She is the light of a great person, an angel
of mercy for all of us."
- Mayor Fasi of Honolulu, Hawaii.

THE WAY OF LOVE
We
will search high and low for a little love. For a little love to share
with all beings in all corners of the world. Supreme Master Ching Hai,
as she has affectionately become known to those who have had the pleasure
to meet or work with her, leaves a message that walks the way of love.
A renowned humanitarian, artist and spiritual visionary, her love and
assistance has extended beyond all cultural and racial boundaries...
...to
millions of people around the world, including the needy and homeless,
institutions of medical research on AIDS and cancer, war veterans of
the United States of America, the disadvantaged elderly, the physically
and mentally handicapped, refugees and victims of natural disasters
such as earthquakes, floods and fires.
Through
these works, we witness countless reminders of compassion, which is
the trademark of this caring lady, and the international foundation
that has grown out of her love and loving example.
 "Whatever we can share, begin
with sharing, and then we will feel a subtle change in ourselves,
more love will be pouring into our consciousness, and we will be
aware of something, and that is the beginning. We are here to learn,
to learn to grow as well as to learn to use our power, our limitless
power of love and creativity, in order to make a better world wherever
we happen to be." |
Supreme
Master Ching Hai was born in Central Au Lac. During her early years,
she was often found helping hospital patients and the needy in whichever
way she could. As a young adult, she moved to Europe to study and continued
there as a voluntary nurse and translator for the Red Cross. She soon
discovered that pain and suffering exist in all cultures and in all
quarters of the globe. And to search for a remedy to this became the
foremost goal in her life.
In
the deepest reaches of the Himalayas in India, she found an enlightened
Master who imparted to her the Quan Yin Method - a meditation technique
which contemplates on the Inner Light and Sound. After a period of practice,
she became fully enlightened.
Soon
after her return from the Himalayas, at the earnest request of those
around her, Master Ching Hai shared the Quan Yin Method with others,
encouraging them to look within to find their own greatness.

 . . . . .
"The peace and
love that we most often talk about and seek we have within ourselves."
. . . . .

People
from all walks of life found that through the Quan Yin Method of meditation,
they attained greater fulfillment, happiness and peace in their daily lives.
Before long, invitations arrived from the United States, Europe, Asia and
South America, as well as the United Nations, for Master Ching Hai to give
lectures.
As
well as being a noble example of humanitarian aid, Master Ching Hai also
encourages people to beautify the world we live in.

 . . . . .
"The future is
in our hands, so you make it beautiful or you make it worse, it's
up to you."

Although
she does not seek acknowledgement of any kind, in recognition of her selfless
assistance, Supreme Master Ching Hai has been given awards worldwide by
government officials and private organizations on numerous occasions.
They include the World Peace Award, the World Spiritual Leadership Award,
Award for Promotion of Human Rights, and the Award For Outstanding Public
Service to Mankind.
Initiation: The
Quan Yin Method
Supreme
Master Ching Hai initiates sincere people longing to know the Truth,
into the Quan Yin Method. The Chinese characters "Quan Yin" mean contemplation
of the sound vibration. The Method includes meditation on both the Inner
Light and the Inner Sound. These inner experiences have been repeatedly
described in the spiritual literature of all the world's religions since
ancient times.
Master
Ching Hai accepts people from all backgrounds and religious affiliations
for initiation. You do not have to change your present religion or system
of beliefs. You will not be asked to join any organization, or participate
in any way that does not suit your current life style.
The
initiation is offered free of charge.
Master
Ching Hai's goal is to teach us to be self sufficient. Therefore, She
teaches a Method that can be practiced by everyone, by themselves, without
props or paraphernalia of any kind. She is not looking for followers,
worshippers, or disciples, or establishing an organization with a dues
paying membership. She will not accept money, prostrations, or gifts
from you, so you do not need to offer these to Her.
She
will accept your sincerity in daily life and meditational practice to
progress yourself to sainthood.
