Brief Biography of the
Supreme Master Ching Hai
Master
Ching Hai was born to a well-off family in Aulac (Vietnam),
the daughter of a highly reputed naturopath. She was brought
up as a Catholic, and learned the basics of Buddhism from
her grandmother. As a young child, She showed a precocious
interest in philosophical and religious teachings, as well
as an uncommonly compassionate attitude towards all living
beings.
At the age of eighteen, Master Ching Hai moved to England
to study, and then later to France and then Germany, where
She worked for the Red Cross and married a German scientist.
After two years of happy marriage, with the consent of Her
husband, She left Her marriage in pursuit of enlightenment,
thus fulfilling an ideal which had been with Her since childhood.
At this time, She was studying various meditation practices
and spiritual disciplines under the guidance of teachers and
masters who were within Her reach. She came to realize the
futility of one person trying to help the suffering of humanity,
and recognized that the best way to help people was to attain
total realization Herself. With this as Her singular goal,
She travelled around many different countries, searching for
the perfect method of enlightenment.
Master Ching Hai found the Quan Yin Method and the Divine
Transmission in the Himalayas. After a period of diligent
practice, during Her retreat in the Himalayas, She attained
complete enlightenment.
In the years after Her enlightenment, Master Ching Hai lived
the quiet, unassuming life of a Buddhist nun. Shy in nature,
She kept the Treasure hidden until people sought Her instruction
and initiation. It is through the insistent requests and efforts
of Her earlier disciples in Formosa (Taiwan) and USA, that
Master Ching Hai has come to lecture throughout the world,
and has initiated many tens of thousands of sincere spiritual
aspirants.
Today more and many Truth seekers from different countries
and all religions have been streaming to Her for Her supreme
wisdom. To those who sincerely wish to learn and practice
the method of Immediate Enlightenment which She Herself has
verified to be the supreme one - the Quan Yin Method, Master
Ching Hai has been willing to give them initiation and further
spiritual guidance.
