    .The Key of Immediate Enlightenment The Supreme Master Ching Hai

    I do not belong to Buddhism or Catholicism. I belong to the Truth

    and I preach the Truth. You may call it Buddhism, Catholicism,

    Taoism, or whatever you like. I welcome all!

    ~ The Supreme Master Ching Hai ~

    By attaining inner peace we will attain everything else. All the sat-

    isfaction, all the fulllment of worldly and heavenly desires come

    from the Kingdom of God the inner realization of our eternal

    harmony, of our eternal wisdom, and of our almighty power. If we

    do not get these we never nd satisfaction, no matter how much

    money or power, or how high a position we have.

    ~The Supreme Master Ching Hai ~

    Our teaching is that whatever you have to do in this world, do

    it, do it wholeheartedly. Be responsible and also meditate everyday. You will get more knowledge, more wisdom, more peace, in

    order to serve yourself and serve the world. Do not forget that

    you have your own goodness inside you. Do not forget that you

    have God dwelling within your body. Do not forget that you have

    God within your heart.

    A Little Message

    IIn speaking o God, or the Supreme Spirit, Master instructs us to useoriginal non-sexist terms to avoid the argument about whether God isa She or a He.She + He = Hes (as in Bless)Her + Him = Hirm (as in Firm)Hers + His = Hiers (as in Dear)Example: When God wants, Hes makes things happen according to Hierswill to suit Hirmsel.

    IAs a creator of artistic designs as well as a spiritual teacher, SupremeMaster Ching Hai loves all expressions of inner beauty. It is for this rea-

    son that She refers to Vietnam as Au Lac and Taiwan as Formosa.

    Au Lac is the ancient name of Vietnam and means happiness. And the

    name Formosa, meaning beautiul, reects more completely the beauty

    of the island and its people. Master feels that using these names bringsspiritual elevation and luck to the land and its inhabitants.

    .The Key of Immediate Enlightenment The Supreme Master Ching Hai

    A Master is one who has the key for you to become a Master... to

    help you realize that you are also a Master and that you and God

    are also One. Thats all... thats the only role of the Master.

    ~ The Supreme Master Ching Hai ~

    Our path is not a religion. I do not convert anyone to Ca-

    tholicism or Buddhism, or any other ism. I simply offer you

    a way to know yourself; to nd out where you come from; toremember your mission here on Earth; to discover the secrets of

    the universe; to understand why there is so much misery, and see

    what awaits us after death.

    ~ The Supreme Master Ching Hai ~

    We are separated from God because we are too busy. If some-

    one is talking to you and the telephone keeps ringing, and you

    are busy cooking or chatting with other people, then no one can

    get in touch with you. The same thing happens with God. Hes is

    calling every day and we have no time for Hirm and keep hang-

    ing up on Hirm.

    The world is full of troubles.Only I am full of You!

    If You were placed within the world,

    All troubles would be removed.

    But, as the world is full of troubles,

    I nd no place for You!

    Id sell all the suns, the moons and the stars

    In the universe,

    Just to buy one of Your Beautiful Glances.

    Oh Master of Innite Radiance!

    Be gracious and shed a few beams into my longing Heart.

    Worldly people go out at night to sing and dance,

    Under the worldly light and worldly music.

    Only I alone sit in trance,

    Swaying with the Radiance and Melody within.

    Since I got to know Your Glory Oh Lord,

    I could love nothing in this world.

    Embrace me in Your Loving Grace,

    Forever!

    .The Key of Immediate Enlightenment The Supreme Master Ching Hai

    Initiation is not really initiation... you just come here and let me

    help you help yourself. I have not come here to make you disciples...

    I have come to help you become Masters.

    ~ The Supreme Master Ching Hai ~

    Everyone already knows how to meditate, but you meditate on

    the wrong things. Some people meditate on pretty girls, some

    on money, some on business. Every time you pay full attention,whole-heartedly, to one thing, that is meditation. I pay attention

    only to the inner Power, to the Compassion, the Love and Merciful

    qualities of God.

    ~ The Supreme Master Ching Hai ~

    Initiation means the beginning of a new life into a new order.

    It means that the Master has accepted you to become one of the

    beings in the circle of Saints. Then you are no longer an ordinary

    being, you are elevated. In the old times they called it Baptism

    or Taking Refuge in the Master.

    . Initiation: The Quan Yin Method

    Initiation:Te Quan Yin Method

    Master Ching Hai initiates sincere people longing to knowthe ruth, into the Quan Yin Method o meditation. Te Chinese cha-racters Quan Yin mean contemplation o the Sound Vibration.

    Te Method includes meditation on both the inner Light and the

    inner Sound. Tese inner visions have been repeatedly described

    in the spiritual literature o all the worlds religions since ancient

    times.

    For example, the Christian Bible states, In the beginning

    was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was

    God. (John 1:1) Tis Word is the inner Sound. It has also been

    called the Logos, Shabd, ao, Soundstream, Naam, or the Celestial

    Music. Master Ching Hai says, It vibrates within all lie and sus-

    tains the whole universe. Tis inner melody can heal all wounds,

    ulll all desires, and quench all worldly thirst. It is all powerul

    and all Love. It is because we are made o this Sound, that con-

    tact with it brings peace and contentment to our hearts. Afer

    listening to this Sound, our whole being changes, our entire

    outlook on lie is greatly altered or the better.

    Te inner Light, the Light o God, is the same Light reerred

    to in the word enlightenment. Its intensity can range rom a subtle

    glow to the brilliance o many millions o suns. It is through the

    inner Light and Sound that we come to know God.

    48/96

    .The Key of Immediate Enlightenment The Supreme Master Ching Hai

    Te initiation into the Quan Yin Method is not an esoteric

    ritual or a ceremony or entering a new religion. During the ini-tiation, specic instruction in meditation on the inner Light and

    inner Sound is given, and Master Ching Hai provides the Spiritual

    ransmission. Tis rst taste o Divine Presence is given in silence.

    Master Ching Hai need not be physically present in order to open

    this door or you. Te ransmission is an essential part o the

    Method. Te technique themselves will bring little benet withoutthe Grace o the Master.

    Because you may hear the inner Sound and see the inner

    Light immediately upon initiation, this event is sometimes reerred

    to as sudden or immediate enlightenment.

    Master Ching Hai accepts people rom all backgrounds

    and religious aliations or initiation. You do not have to changeyour present religion or system o belies. You will not be asked to

    join any organization, or participate in any way that does not suit

    your current lie-style.

    However, you will be asked to become a vegetarian. A lie-

    time commitment to the vegetarian diet is a necessary prerequisite

    or receiving initiation.

    Te initiation is oered ree o charge.

    Daily practice o the Quan Yin Method o meditation and

    the keeping o the Five Guidelines are your only requirements

    afer initiation. Keeping the guidelines prevents you rom harm-

    ing either yoursel or any other living being. Tese practices will

    deepen and strengthen your initial enlightenment experience,

    and allow you to eventually attain the highest levels o awakening

    or Godhood or yoursel. Without daily practice, you will almost

    certainly orget your enlightenment and return to a normal level

    o consciousness.Master Ching Hais goal is to teach us to be sel sucient.

    Tereore, She teaches a method that can be practiced by every-

    one, by themselves, without props or paraphernalia o any kind.

    She is not looking or ollowers, worshippers, or disciples, or to

    establishing an organization with a dues paying membership. She

    will not accept money, prostrations, or gifs rom you, so you donot need to oer these to Her.

    She will accept your sincerity in daily lie and meditational

    practice to progress yoursel towards Sainthood.

    Te Five Guidelines

    1. Rerain rom harming any living being*;2. Rerain rom speaking what is not true;3. Rerain rom taking what is not mine;4. Rerain rom sexual misconduct;5. Rerain rom using intoxicants**;

    * Tis guideline requires strict adherence to a vegan or lacto-veg-etarian diet. No meat, sh, poultry, eggs (ertilized or unertilized,in cakes, cookies, ice cream, etc.) or any orm o animal derivedproduct. You can however eat all dairy products just make surethe cheese does not contain animal rennet.

    ** Tis includes avoiding all poisons o any kind, such as alcohol,

    drugs, tobacco, gambling, pornography and excessively violentlms or literature or video games.

    0 .The Key of Immediate Enlightenment The Supreme Master Ching Hai

    A fully divine person is a fully-human being. A fully-human

    being is fully divine. Right now we are only half a human being.

    We do things with hesitation, we do things with ego. We dont

    believe that it is God who arranges all this for our enjoyment,for our experience. We separate sin and virtue. We make a big

    deal out of everything, and accordingly judge ourselves and

    other people. We suffer from our own limitations about what

    God should do. Understand? Actually God is inside us and we

    limit Hirm. We like to enjoy ourselves and play, but we dont

    know how. We just say to others, Ah! You shouldnt do that,

    and to ourselves, I shouldnt do that. I must not do this. So

    why should I be vegetarian? Yeah, I know. I am vegetarian

    because the God inside me wants it.

    ~ The Supreme Master Ching Hai ~

    When we are pure in our deeds, speech and thoughts, evenfor a second, all the deities, the gods and the guardian angels

    will support us. At that moment, the entire universe belongs

    to us and supports us, and the throne is there for us to reign

    upon.
