清海無上師出生於悠樂（越南），是一位偉大的靈性導師及慈善家，她曾前往喜馬拉雅山求道，最後以「觀音法門」證悟。由於眾生的懇求，無上師開始前往世界各地弘法，歐、亞、美、非等各大洲的許多國家及聯合國，均曾邀請無上師蒞臨演講。

在許多人的眼中，清海無上師是「愛的化身」，她的愛心和奉獻超越了文化與種族的藩籬，嘉惠世界各地無以計數的人們。世界各國政府和私人組織，為了表揚無上師的博愛精神與無我奉獻，先後頒給她「世界和平獎」、「世界精神領袖獎」、「世界公民人道獎」、「顧氏和平獎」等獎項。

除了傳授觀音法門，幫助世人重新與上帝連線，清海無上師也鼓勵大家盡力美化並提昇這個世界。藉由修行觀音法門，無上師發展了多樣才華，包括繪畫、彩扇、音樂、詩作、燈飾、珠寶和服裝設計等，她說：「修行人只要開啟內在的萬能力量，沒有什麼是不可能的！」又說：「我們來這裡，是為了學習成長，也為了學習使用我們無限的愛力和創造力，來使我們所處的任何世界變得更美好！」無上師透過豐富多元的藝術創作印證了這些話，並身體力行她所教導的理念。

二十多年來，無上師奔波世界各地，經由人道援助及傳授觀音法門，與世人分享愛與開悟的訊息。她並不接受捐贈或金錢資助，而是將自己的藝術創作所得，全數用於人道方面與靈性上的工作，真正為我們樹立了在世聖人的最佳典範。誠如前夏威夷檀香山市長花士先生所言：「她以愛心消除世上的仇恨，她為絕望的人帶來希望，她化誤解為理解，她是偉人之光，她是全人類的慈悲天使。」

A Brief Biography of Supreme Master Ching Hai

Supreme Master Ching Hai was born in Âu Lạc (Vietnam). She is a world renowned spiritual teacher and humanitarian who went to the Himalayas in search of enlightenment and attained it by practicing the Quan Yin Method. At the sincere request of sentient beings, She conducts world lecture tours, and has been invited to speak at the United Nations as well as in many countries in all five continents.

In many people’s eyes, Supreme Master Ching Hai is the embodiment of Divine Love. Her compassion and care extend beyond cultural and racial boundaries to millions of people around the world. And in recognition of Her philanthropy and selfless contributions to humanity, Supreme Master Ching Hai has received awards such as The World Peace Award, the World Spiritual Leadership Award, the World Citizen and Humanitarian Award, and the Gusi Peace Prize from private organizations and the governments of many nations.

In addition to imparting the Quan Yin Method to help people reestablish direct contact with God, Supreme Master Ching Hai also encourages them to try their best to beautify and uplift the world. Through practicing the Quan Yin Method She has developed many latent talents that She expresses through an exquisite array of creative works, including oil paintings, fan paintings, decorative lamps, musical compositions, poems and aesthetic jewelry and dress designs. She says, “Once our inner Almighty power is awakened and developed, there is nothing that is impossible! We are here to learn, to learn to grow as well as to learn to use our power, our limitless power of love and creativity, to make the world a better place wherever we happen to be.” Through Her rich, varied artistic creations, Supreme Master Ching Hai confirms these words and practices what She teaches.

For over twenty years, She has traveled the world to share the message of love and enlightenment through timely humanitarian assistance and the Quan Yin Method of meditation. Without accepting donations or financial contributions, She supports Her humanitarian and spiritual work through Her own artistic creations. Indeed, Master Ching Hai is an exemplary model of a True Living Saint. As former Mayor Frank Fasi of Honolulu states, “She brings love around the world where there is hate. She brings hope where there is despair. And She brings understanding where there is misunderstanding. She is the light of a great person, an angel of mercy for all of us.”
