Elevation of the Soul
Supreme Master Ching Hai’s Latest Poetry Book
The much- awaited Chinese
edition of
“Traces of Previous Lives”
is finally released
(both hardcopy and paperback editions are available)!
 |
“Traces of Previous Loves” is a compilation of the Supreme Master Ching Hai’s poems written while She was staying in various countries around the world before She went to the Himalayas in search of the Truth. Through Her delicate pen and vivid imagination, Supreme Master Ching Hai depicted all kinds of human emotions as well as the vicissitudes and sorrows caused by wars. Thus, revealed the ephemeral nature of the world and the delusional essence of passions.
There are two parts in “Traces of Previous Lives”. The first part is “Love”, a collection of love poems written in Her early years. These poems describe how the Poet whole-heartedly pursuit a perfect love with no regrets and Her endless longings. Her saintly inner quality is evident in between the lines. Many poems in the second part “War”, on the other hand, reflect Her compassion and mercy towards people and the world in a turbulent time. Seeing the cruelty of the war, witnessing the helplessness and the anxiety of the stricken, the Saint could only transform Her tears into poems.
This touching and magnificent poem-collection
“Traces of Previous Lives” covers the Poet’s personal
experiences in the war time, Her songs of happiness after climbing the
summit of love and Her footprints at various parts of the world. It
is hoped that all the Chinese readers around the globe will have the
chance to appreciate the meaningful and rare verses.

The Lifestyle of a Spiritual Practitioner
Group meditation in Hsihu, Formosa,
November 26, 1988Highlights:
Master recalls many funny stories from Her early
years, such as how She was carrying the title of “Master from
the Himalayas”, but appeared in a fabric store wearing ragged
robes and straw sandals to buy cloths, and other amusing incidences
when taking a cab. Master also talks about why She Herself and Her monastic
disciples lived in simple tents while most of the other monastic practitioners
live in temples. In Her discourse, Master shows great concern towards
the spiritual life of the lay disciples. She asks about the details
of their works and gives precious advice accordingly. In addition, Master
explains why the true renunciates should not accept offerings from people
and should not worry about life without offerings. She gives many good
tips to help the disciples pursue spiritual practice happily and with
peace of mind.
