Highlights

On 5 May 2000, at a spectacular moment in the history of the universe, five grand planets met in perfect alignment. Supreme Master Ching Hai, having been long anticipated, was invited by groups from all around Formosa to present a lecture at the Taoyuan Big Egg Stadium. Near 30 thousand people attended this grand congregation. During Her lecture, Master discussed how to fully realize the Buddha nature through practicing the Quan Yin Method, and how to prove that we are all Buddhas by nature. Master’s simple and concise talk directly and logically awakened the audience members’ hearts. A fellow Quan Yin practitioner also testified to how he had been elevated and changed in no time after practicing the Qua Yin Method. Descriptions of how deceased relatives of fellow practitioners had attained liberation, and the limitless benefits and merit derived from the practice were also presented. The deeply moved participants were immersed in bright, peaceful, loving power and overwhelmed with joy. You are also invited to view and experience this beautiful and blissful event for yourself.
