the MISSION


The following article is an extraction from the book - 'Women of Spirit : A Sourcebook of Saints, Teachers, Goddesses and Sisterhoods East and West.'

In less than ten years, the ancient message of the Quan Yin meditation has spread to many countries across the globe. Supreme Master Ching Hai's many lectures and informal discussions have been transcribed to numerous books, and audio/video tapes in several languages, and hundreds of thousands of people from different faiths have been initiated. Supreme Master Ching Hai accepts all sincere spiritual aspirants for initiation, which like Her public lectures, is always offered free of charge. Aspirants must agree to a lifelong commitment to basic ethical codes of conduct, including adherence to a lacto-vegetarian or vegan diet. She finances Her mission with the proceeds derived from the sale of Her colorful artwork, exquisite fashion and fine jewelry designs, that have all been exhibited internationally to critical acclaim.

The rapid pace of Supreme Master Ching Hai's vital and self-sacrificing work continues today, and with God's grace will do so long into the future. Her work will enable as many beings as possible to have the chance to connect with a most precious, fully enlightened Master. She has often said that such connections are made perhaps once in millions of years, so naturally, She welcomes all those who feel their time has now finally arrived.
