“She is the light of a great person, an angel of mercy for all of us.”
~ Frank F. Fasi, Mayor of Honolulu, Hawaii
Supreme Master Ching Hai
is a world-renowned
spiritual teacher, artist, and humanitarian, whose loving assistance
extends beyond all cultural boundaries. Born in central Âu Lạc
(Vietnam), Supreme Master Ching Hai studied in Europe and
worked there for the Red Cross. She soon realized that suffering
exists in all corners of the globe, and her yearning to find a remedy
became the foremost goal in her life. She was happily married at the
time to a German physician, and although it was a difficult decision
for both of them, her husband agreed to a separation. She then
embarked on a journey in search of spiritual enlightenment. Eventually,
in the Himalayas in India, she received from a true Master the
divine transmission of the inner Light and Sound, which she later
called the Quan Yin Method. After a period of diligent practice,
she attained the Great Enlightenment.
Soon after her return from the Himalayas, at the earnest request
of those around her, Supreme Master Ching Hai shared the Quan
Yin Method with others, encouraging them to look within to find
their own divine greatness. Before long, invitations arrived from the
Americas, Europe, Asia, Australia, and Africa for Supreme Master
Ching Hai to give lectures.
Supreme Master Ching Hai’s compassionate heart has also been
reflected in her meticulous care for the less fortunate in different
circumstances. The funding generated from her artistic creations has
enabled the support of her mission of comforting God’s children in
times of need.
More recently, Supreme Master Ching Hai has authored books
that have become #1 international best-sellers, namely The Birds in
My Life, The Dogs in My Life, and The Noble Wilds. These volumes
(1993) .
reveal many insights into the deep emotions and thoughts of our
treasured animal co-inhabitants, highlighting their gracious spirit
and unconditional love.
Wishing to acknowledge others for their actions and influence
toward developments of goodness in the world, Supreme Master
Ching Hai founded the Shining World Leadership Award in March
2006. Since then, she has also established other prestigious awards,
such as Shining World Compassion Award, Shining World Hero
and Heroine Awards, Shining World Honesty Award, Shining
World Protection Award, Shining World Intelligence Award,
and Shining World Invention Award. This honor is bestowed on
individuals, nations, and organizations – such as the 2nd President
of the Republic of Slovenia, Dr. Janez Drnovšek, Dr. Jane Goodall,
and Save the Children – whose exemplary works have significantly
contributed to the harmony, beauty, and sustainability of our Earth.
Supreme Master Ching Hai is among notable pioneers in our
society today who wisely and courageously express concern about
climate change. In fact, for more than 20 years, she has talked about
preserving the environment. She catapulted the Alternative Living
and SOS global warming campaigns to promote a benevolent
lifestyle without animal products. “Be Veg, Go Green, Save the Planet”
is now a well-known motto that originated from Supreme Master
Ching Hai.
In our era, Supreme Master Ching Hai is truly a selflessly dedicated
individual, tirelessly helping world citizens create a bright future for
our beloved planet.

Alleviating human suffering has never been more critical to Supreme Master Ching Hai than at the

all boundaries to reach the incarcerated, the elderly, the mentally disabled, the sick, the poor, the homeless,
veterans, and victims of natural disasters. Her compassion has touched the hearts of millions the world
over and has inspired others to form the International Association in her altruistic example.
