Stoic
'She would probably say that her superpowers are only effective in the spiritual world, in the various levels of conciousness she can freely travel in, and where she plays and talks with the other gods and buddhas (even martians!).'
So her imaginary superpowers are only effective in her imagination?
No wonder, then, that she is so interested in the business of taking other peoples money any way she can. All that plastic surgery, fancy clothes and private island retreats have to be paid for in cold, hard cash, not imaginary 'spiritual' riches.

Ching Hai
In the beginning, perhaps the Master--Supreme Master Ching Hai--helps you in times of need physically or spiritually, but later on, you help yourself, and later on, you help everyone else. Your parents who are even deceased parents, your grandparents, your great, great ancestors, your future family members, all of them are taken care of by you. The day of your initiation is the day they are liberated; if they are already in the other world they will be escalated into a higher realm of freedom and knowledge. If they are on this planet they are going to be helped in every physical way that is possible for this planet. And you yourself enter into Sainthood, into being a capable, a real person, a real being that we really are because we are not his body. "Know you not that you are the Holy Spirit? Know you not that you are just the temple; this body is just the temple of God and the Holy Spirit lives within you?"
We all read this in the Bible; we all read this in the scripture but we do not experience in reality what that means, that the Holy Spirit dwells within us. And who is that Holy Spirit? It's our Self. It's our true Self. It's a part of the God Self, part of the whole cosmos. And once we know this Holy Spirit we are free, free forever. The Angel of Death cannot lay claim to our soul anymore. Once we close our eyes, we are finished with this job in this earthly existence, we're free to fly anywhere, to our chosen Home in the whole, great universe. We choose where to live, which Heaven, to be near Home, to be near our friends, our relatives, in this existence or in a future or past existence; we could choose to live with them or we could choose to live not with them, but go visit them anytime. Just think of them and you are there already. No need to pay for an airplane like I have to pay for to come here. (Laughter)
In this world it is different; in the spirit world we are free. We are free and we are great! That's why sometimes after meditation we come back to this very small, little prison cell which we call 'the body', and we feel a little sad, sometimes a lot sad, but at least we can return to that realm again anytime we have free time. It's better than every day being restricted within this little body forever. Just like if we are in prison and people can bail us out sometimes. It is still better than sitting there forever. So this 'bail bond' is free of charge; you can bail yourself out anytime and since I am here today, the Supreme Master says you can get initiation right away, instead of having to wait many months. We never know if we'll live until tomorrow.

Interview from Radio 720 "Believe It Or Not" - November 28, 1999 Johannesburg, South Africa
M.C.: Let's talk to Ivan.
I: I have been reading the booklet, "The Key of Immediate Enlightenment." It is a wonderful booklet. There's hardly anything that one can disagree with. It's all the same, the spiritual teachings, the same kind of moral code that most of the religions are teaching. So, this is very, very much in line with my own belief. In my previous observation, they all have a lot in common, and what Master Ching Hai is looking for is the common thread that runs through all religions. There is only one thing that confuses me about You, Master Ching Hai, apart from being incredibly beautiful, I mean You can't help that...
M: You have seen me in person?
I: You are an incredibly beautiful person physically in Your pictures and so on.
M: Thank you.
I: Most of the spiritual Masters that I know about like Moses, Jesus, Buddha, and all the other Buddhist masters and the Hindu gurus, and so on, all seemed to have adopted an ascetic way of life.
M: Right. I did that before.
I: You decided to go against the grain by wearing the most incredibly beautiful, ornamental clothes. You don't think this is somehow putting some people off? It doesn't put me off; I can see behind the material packaging, but don't You think this is putting a lot of people off by being unspiritual?
M: Maybe so, sir, but I'm only a servant of God. I have to do absolutely what Hes says even though it's against my liking. And also these things that I design myself, I have to model them.
I: Yes, You design most of these clothes. The only kind of criticism that I could possibly have is that most of them wear simple clothes and all of the beautiful ornamental clothes that You wear. And the other thing is that You refer God as Him. Could You please explain that a little bit more and I will listen on the radio?
M: It can be called "Her" also. It's just that most people call God, "Him," so I just go with the trend so as not to confuse people. Otherwise, God is not a Him or a Her.
Also, a more extended answer to your question is that not all of the gurus are wearing ascetic clothes. For example, the Guru Gobind Singh of the Sikhs wore all kinds of pearls and beautiful clothes. And the Quan Yin Bodhisattva of Buddhism always wore clothes like a princess, for example to cite a few. It depends on the destiny of the Master or the teacher at that time or on the condition of the world at that time, that God has ordained someone to do this or that. But, you are right; I would prefer also a simple life. It's easier.

I would also like You, Supreme Master Ching Hai, to clear up a couple of things in my own mind. You design and sell jewelry. I find that at odds with being such a spiritually enlightened person.
M: Not really, I use the money to travel, to buy airplane tickets and to work for God, and the rest I give to charity for the poor people. There's nothing unspiritual about that. I need to have money to go around to talk to people and to go by airplane and taxi. I cannot take donations because God has told me I can only give, I cannot take.
M.C.: You can sell, but You cannot take?
M: I can only give. I sell, of course; it's my work and my labor. I don't take it away from people.
M.C.: No.
M: I sell, and then I take the money and give it to people; that I can do, but I cannot take donations.

But anyway, we can say whatever we want about her ugly face, she still has an DNA much more perfect than our DNA, even more than The Buddha himself's DNA (this have been determined by very advanced machines!), which definitely proves that we are shit compared to her totally-opened-chakras body.

Definitely, she also claimed she is Super being, the original bright star source started the big bang of universe, which is at the 9th level, whereas we human beings can only reach 5th level.

Ching Hai (Sydney, Australia. May 10,1997)
Again and again, I tell you, I'm a very simple person. There's no need to have illusion about me; I'm just like you. Whatever I have, you have. It's just that you have not discovered completely. That's your problem. But don't make a big deal out of my person; I am just like you, really, I live just the way you do. Don't make it too fantasizing, fairy like, all kinds of things. Do I have anything different from you? I don't understand why you have illusion about me so much. I have seen quite a few of those so-called masters and all those very big personages. I never felt afraid, nervous or anything; I just felt pleasant and honored to be able to see a person who is supposed to be so kind, so holy. If they are, then I'm very happy to meet such a person. Just like I am happy to meet many of you, many times, because I suppose you are very holy, very saintly. That's it, no less, no more.

I'm just another woman, and perhaps a little wiser one. The one who has found, regained, some of Her wisdom or maybe all of Her wisdom, whatever it is. But She is just another woman, like every other one. That woman can gain the same, and you can gain the same, sooner or later. Maybe already has, maybe going to be, may already has gained half, maybe two third. It's the same. Just because I stared the business [woops! a slip of the tongue?], everyone just fixed me in that position of a leader. No, I'm just a guide, the one who walks before. But I don't have to always walk before. If you can walk past me, just go.
