Quan Yin Method, the mediation on
the Inner Light and Inner Sound
---------------------------------
Quan Yin Method is a non-denominational meditation technique on both the
Inner Light and the Inner Sound. The Chinese characters "Quan Yin" mean
contemplation of the sound vibration. These inner experiences have been
repeatedly described in the spiritual literature of all the world's
religions since ancient times.
With this method, we can all attain understanding of the great joy,
compassion and heavenly bliss described n religious and spiritual
scriptures around the world. More than just a simple meditation
technique, this living teaching brings to anyone who sincerely desires it
the ability to carry the meditative state into all aspects of their
lives. It offers each of us a way to have true love and understanding for
our fellow beings, to play our part in society while still keeping our
mind clear of worry and attachment, and a way to find freedom here and
beyond this world.
For example, the Christian Bible says, "In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." (John 1:1) This Word is
the Inner Sound. It has also been called the Logos, Shabd, Tao,
Soundstream, Naam, or the Celestial Music. Suma Ching Hai says, "It
vibrates within all life and sustains the whole universe. This inner
melody can heal all wounds, fulfil all desires, and quench all worldly
thirst. It is all powerful and all love. It is because we are made of
this Sound, that contact with it brings peace and contentment to our
hearts. After listening to this Sound, our whole being changes, our
entire outlook on life is greatly altered for the better.
The Inner Light, the Light of God, is the same light as in the word
"enlightenment." Its intensity can range from a subtle glow to the
brilliance of many millions of suns. It is through the Inner Light and
Sound that we come to know God.
Suma Ching Hai, the great teacher of
the Quan Yin Method
------------------------------------
Suma Ching Hai teaches the importance of this practice of meditation,
inner contemplation, and prayer. She explains that we must discover our
own Inner Divine Presence, if we are to be truly happy in this life. She
teaches that enlightenment is not esoteric and out of reach, attainable
only by those who retreat from society. Her job is to awaken the Divine
Presence within, while we lead normal lives. She states, "It is like
this. We all know the Truth. It's just that we forgot it. So, sometimes
someone has to come and remind us of the purpose of our life, why we must
find the Truth, why we must practice meditation, and why we must believe
in God." She asks no one to follow Her. She simply offers Her own
Enlightenment as an example, so that others may gain their own Ultimate
Liberation.
For some, Suma Ching Hai is their Mother, for some She is their Father,
and for others She is their Beloved. At the least, She is the very best
Friend you could ever have in this world. She is here to give to you, not
to take. She takes no payment of any kind for Her teachings, help or
initiation. The only thing She will take from you is your suffering, your
sorrow and pain. But only if you want this!
In recent years She has travelled and taught throughout Asia, the United
States, Latin America and Europe. Many people from all walks of life, and
from many different religious backgrounds, have made great spiritual
progress with Her help. Although no formal organization exists to spread
Her teachings, grateful friends and disciples are to be found all over
the world, ready and willing to help others learn from their beloved
Master.
In addition to helping countless numbers of people through Her spiritual
teachings and initiations. Suma Ching Hai has used her boundless energy
to assist those who are suffering or in need. In recent years, Her
humanitarian efforts have touched the hearts and lives of millions of
people all over the world. She does not discriminate between suffering
caused by spiritual ignorance, material privation, or circumstantial
events. Wherever there is suffering, She will help.
Although She has not sought acknowledgement of any kind, Suma Ching Hai
has been recognized and honored for Her humanitarian work by government
officials throughout the world. For example, October 25, 1993 was
proclaimed "The Suma Ching Hai Day" by the mayor of Honolulu Hawaii, and
February 22, 1994 was likewise proclaimed by the governors of the States
of Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Kansas, Missouri and Minnesota. She also
received the "World Peace Award" in Honolulu, an the "World Spiritual
Leadership Award" at a ceremony in Chicago on February 22, 1994.
Initiation into the Quan Yin Method
-----------------------------------
Suma 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.
Suma 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.
However, you will be asked to become a vegetarian. A lifetime commitment
to the vegetarian diet is a necessary prerequisite for receiving
initiation. She will accept your sincerity in daily life and meditational
practice to progress yourself to sainthood.
Suma Ching Hai offers free of charge and conditions to anyone seeking the
Truth. She does not personally accept any donations, all of her public
lectures are offered free of charge, and initiation into the Quan Yin
method of meditation is given to anyone who is truly dedicated to their
own spiritual development. She says that a spiritual teacher should never
charge the student for what they already own. She simply opens the door
to our own inner wisdom and then guides and protects us until we have
fully realized our own treasure inside.
The initiation into the Quan Yin Method is not an esoteric ritual or a
ceremony for entering a new religion. During the initiation, specific
instruction in meditation on the Inner Light and Inner Sound is given,
and Suma Ching Hai provides the "spiritual transmission." This first
taste of Divine Presence is given in silence. Suma Ching Hai need not be
physically present in order to open this door for you. This transmission
is an essential part of the Method. The techniques themselves will bring
little benefit without the Grace of the Master.
Because you may hear the Inner Sound and see the Inner Light immediately
upon initiation, this event is sometimes referred to as "sudden" or
"immediate enlightenment."
Daily practice of the Quan Yin Method of meditation, and the keeping of
the "Five Precepts" are your only requirements after initiation. The
Precepts are guidelines that help you to neither harm yourself nor any
other living being. These practices will deepen and strengthen your
initial enlightenment experience, and allow you to eventually attain the
highest levels of Awakening or Buddhahood for yourself. Without daily
practice, you will almost certainly forget your enlightenment and return
to a normal level of consciousness.
The Five Precepts
-----------------
1. Refrain from taking the life of sentient beings.
2. Refrain from speaking what is not true.
3. Refrain from taking what is not offered.
4. Refrain from sexual misconduct.
5. Refrain from the use of intoxicants.
* The keeping of this precept requires a vegan or lacto-vegetarian diet.
The Quan Yin Method WWW
-----------------------
Several fellow initiates in the USA, Canada, and Formosa joined the new
trend and started servers to spread Master's teachings voluntarily
through the World Wide Web.
At this moment, information in the Quan Yin Method WWW Home Page includes
the sample booklet, News magazines from issue #33 to the latest issue,
new book information, information on the Vegetarian Houses; and a news

To take advantage of electronic communication, the servers even allow
visitors to send electronic mail messages to fellow initiates on-line.
This two-way communication enables the visitors to know more about our
method in a convenient way.

opportunity of lifetime. It's the supreme path toward one's own Great
Awakening.

STAVROS of Pureshitland
The story of Ching Hai's life as revealed in the thesis of U.C. graduate
Eric Lai.
According to Lai's research, the Supreme Master was born Hue Dang Trinh
on May 12, 1950, in a small village in Vietnam, in the same province
which later saw the My Lai massacre.. The daughter of a Vietnamese
mother and an ethnic Chinese father, Trinh reportedly hung out with
American soldiers as a teenager, and bore one, a daughter. At nineteen
during the height of the Vietnam war Trinh left home with a German
doctor working for an international relief organization. Trinh's
daughter later killed herself at age 20. Trinh married the doctor and
the couple moved first to Britain then to Germany.
There she met a Buddhist monk who she followed for three years until she
was denied entrance to the monastery on the basis of gender. Trinh then
moved to India to study Buddhism. it was here that she became the prize
student of Thakar Singh, who has just splintered off from a Buddhist
order, Radhasoami, to form his own sect, Kirpal Light Satsang. Thakar
Singh turned out to be the most scandalous guru in the history of the
Radhasoami, writes David Christopher Lane, who while a graduate student
at U.C. Berkeley met Singh in India, and has since traced the guru's
checkered career. According to Lanes findings: "By mid 1980s reports
circulated throughout the world how Thakar had embezzled money, indulged
in sexual affairs with numerous women and had engaged in violent
interactions with disciples. Some of the accusations included tying
women up and beating them regularly. But by the time Singh's crimes
came to light Ching Hai had already learned from him the light and sound
meditation technique and had left for Taiwan."
Lai's research revealed that in Taiwan, in 1983, Trinh studied with a
Buddhist nun Xing-jing. Unaware of her association with Singh, Xing-jing
officially ordained Trinh in the order and gave her religious name
"Ching Hai" which translates form the Mandarin "pure ocean".
The next year Ching Hai moved to a Buddhist temple in Queens, New York.
she taught meditation and meditated herself up to four hours a day. One
former colleague told Lai "We were impressed by her devotion and
sincerity. But a year and a half later Ching Hai began teaching the
"light and sound" technique to her students,, though few responded
favorably returning to Taiwan in 1986, Ching Hai lured followers away
from her former master Xing-jing and set up a makeshift temple in an
apartment in the Taipei suburbs. rumors about her prophetic abilities
and unique mediation methods earned her a large following. by 1987
posters of Ching Hai appeared all over Taipei . By the time the
Taiwanese Buddhist community learned of Ching Hai's connection to the
disgraced Satsang cult, it was too late. The new Messiah had been born.

Dear anhminh,
You've posted several articles regarding about the Quan Yin Method and
Master Ching Hai. I'm not sure if you had a chance to verify what Rafer
Guzma and the others wrote. But I found that there were many un-true info.
I'd like to remind you that it's not good for you if you spread the un-true
information to defame someone. You are not only create the unnecessary karma
for youself but you also mis-lead the others with your incorrect info.
I included some excerpts for you to read. I hope that you will consider what
I said.
Life is very short. Do something else better for your life.
Best regards,
David

Q: Specifically, what does Your initiation involve and once
one is initiated, what would the day-to-day practice involve?
Suma Ching Hai: Okay. Yes. First of all, it's all free of
charge and no binding involved, except that you have to bind
yourself, should you want to continue to go further. Hmmm? So,
the conditions - no experience required. Yeah? No previous
knowledge about any yoga, or any meditation required. But
then, you have to commit yourself to a lifelong vegetarian
diet. No eggs. Milk okay. Cheese okay. Anything else without
killing is okay. Egg because it also involves of half-killing,
even though it's how to say... infertile. And also it has kind
of quality to have a tendency to attract negative power. You
know, that's why many people of the black and white magicians
field, or many voodoo people - so-called voodoo, they use eggs
to draw some of the entities from possessed persons. If you
know it or not? You know? Oh, that's fantastic! At least, I
have immediate proof, if not immediate enlightenment, for you.
(Laughter) And after initiation... the time of initiation, you
experience the light and the sound of God. Yeah? The music of
the spirit, it draws you up to the higher level of
consciousness. You will understand the taste of samadhi - the
deep peace and joy. Yes. And after that, you continue to
practice at home, if you are serious. If you are not, I cannot
push you, I cannot bother you any more.
If you con-tinue and you want me to help you all the way, then
I continue. If you do not... you see that's the way. And two
and a half hours a day meditation. Wake up early in the
morning.
Before you sleep, meditate two hours; and maybe half an hour
in the lunch time. When I am not here to speak, you have
one-hour lunch. You can hide away somewhere and meditate.
That's already one hour. Yeah? And in the evening, you make
one more hour or half an hour. In the morning, get up earlier
one hour. Regulate more of your life, you know, less TV, less
gossip, less telephone, less newspapers, then you have a lot
of time. Yes, truly we have a lot of time but sometimes we
waste away our time. Just like our car running in the backyard
instead of going to Long Island, yeah. Are you satisfied with
that? Or... ?
Yes? Yes, and nothing more. No conditions for you, nothing
else except you commit yourself to this lifelong practice. And
everyday you experience different changes for the better, and
different miracles for your life, not that you wish for it. It
will happen anyhow. Understand? And then you truly experience
what's heaven like on earth, if you are really serious about
it. That's how many hundreds of thousands of our disciples
still hang on, still hang on to me after many years, because
they have better and better experiences, because they are
serious about it and they do practice.

Q: Dear Master, there is always a fear of the unknown. How can
one be certain that the Quan Yin method is the right one?
Suma Ching Hai: Of course, you don't know until you try. But
as you see, from our lining principles, you can see that, even
if the Quan Yin method doesn't do you any good, or you are not
certain of the benefit of the Quan Yin method, one thing you
can be certain that it will do you no harm. No harm if you eat
vegetarian diet, at least, you will be healthy, if you don't
believe in any spiritual compassion at all. It is proved
scientifically that vegetarian diet is healthy for you. All
the hospitals in the world are built for the meat eaters. You
know that! Most of the meat eaters are in the hospitals
anyhow. Okay, one stand point.
The so-called five precepts are to protect you from the
uneasiness of mind. Should you have only a very loving and one
pointed relationship. You don't take what doesn't belong to
you. You do not gambling, which causes misery to yourself, to
your family and to others. You do not take alcohol and make
your mind, your vision blurs. And if you take drugs, it is not
good for you. So, for all this very apparent so-called
material guidelines, as least you know our teaching, our
method will benefit you somewhat. And from there you start.
And you get to know better.
At least, we offer you somewhat immediate proofs of
enlightenment. And at least, we don't cash any money for it,
before, between, and after. You have no conditions, no binding
whatsoever. Suppose even afterwards, you don't want us, we
also don't do anything to you. Understand? So, in any ways,
you don't lose anything, you will only gain. That is some
symbolic things I can tell you. But moreover, you might use
your intuitive wisdom to ascertain which path to follow. It
doesn't matter what I say, you have to know it. Pray to your
Inner Self, to God, to Jesus, to Allah, to Buddha, to whoever
you believe, to help you to decide. And if you see a stronger
pull to come to us, then you know it is for you. Should you do
not felt it or you felt stronger pull into the world. All
right. Then you are not yet ready. Understand? It is very
simple.
