Highlights

Supreme Master Ching Hai and association members dressed up grandly to attend and celebrate 2007 Chinese Lunar New Year with disciples from around the world at Hsihu, Formosa.  She encouraged everyone, saying “So peace must be, because in peace we can rebuild countries; in peace only we can rebuild human relationship; in peace only we can attain heaven.  There is no other way we can live with each other ever, except but in peace. ... Everybody talked about peace, but we must do something to contribute to it, by love our neighbor, by stop doing anything that we think and know is wrong.  Anything wrong we stop it right away, anything right we do it right away.  It is a very simple kind of living.  There is no need to look anywhere else for heaven unless we are at peace with our neighbors and within ourselves.”
